The Haven Takeaway in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Man kann Urlaub machen in Gorran Have, was für ein idyllischer Ort. Jeden Tag einkehren im the Haven, was gibt es besseres, einfach lecker, freundlich, hilfsbereit. Ausser Montag, da hat das the Haven Ruhetag, war nicht so einfach den Tag zu überstehen.

The best fish and chips ive had for a long time, beautiful view with friendly and attentive staff. The deep fried Mars bar is delicious

The food was absolutely amazing - highly recommended. The best fish and chips I've had in a long time. I also, unfortunately, left my glasses at the table and they very kindly posted my glasses back to me. I cannot thank them enough for brilliant service. We will be back.

The best service I’ve ever received at a fish & chip shop! The food was ready exactly when they said it would be, we were given a buzzer which meant we could sit on the beach while we waited. Everything was carefully packed in compostable packaging. The food was good and reasonably priced.

We visited today and had lunch was the best fish and chips I’ve had for a very long time hopefully can come and visit again whilst we are staying near by. And the staff were so friendly. This picture I added was only a child’s portion 😍

Delicious fish and chip lunch - lived up to the five star reviews - with very friendly staff too. Piping hot food and lovely light batter on the fish.

Lunchtime treat... and boy it was a treat... fish was fresh as fresh and the special lunch deal comes with a side dish, bread and butter AND choice of hot drink... a good find, a VERY good find!

Fantastic fish and chips,crispy batter ,tasty fresh fish ,proper chips and we could take our dog in the restaurant .definatly worth 5 stars.

Now we know a thing or two about fish and chips as we live just a short walk from one of the most awarded fish and chip shops in the country. So here is the news…. this one is better!!! We had a lovely lunch freshly cooked, well presented and served very professionally. The only downside is that you are not allowed to upsize the fixed price lunch to the larger fish which would have been even better!! Nevertheless an excellent place for your fish and chip fix!!!

Easy to order. Really good fish. Very friendly staff. Great location....100 metres from the beach. Perfect on a sunny evening.

The best fish and chips EVER! All cooked fresh to order. The fish batter and chips were so lovely and crisp. It’s a stand out restaurant as not all fish and chip restaurants are served to this standard. The home made curry and tartar sauce was delicious. Lovely staff who were very welcoming. Fresh flaky cod. My partner and I said it truly was the best fish and chips we’ve ever had! It was also great to have a ‘smaller appetites’ option. Thank you for a great experience in Cornwall. :-)

Thank you Rebekah, Nathan and team for our great takeaway on Saturday. Huge portions of freshly cooked food and the best tartare sauce ever. We pre-ordered on the website and the food was ready and waiting at pick up time. You are doing a wonderful job and we all appreciate you in the village!

We’ve been visiting Gorran Haven for many years and stay in the village during every school holiday ... so we have used the wonderful Haven Fish and Chips many , many times ! The new refurbishment is fantastic both inside, outside and online . You can order from the newly placed takeaway / click and collect door , order online and choose your time slot or eat inside . We found the online ordering especially helpful and my teenage children used this way to order several times during half term . It’s a very easy to use website and the food was always ready right on time when they went to collect . If there were no slots at peak time , when we made a last minute decision to get a takeaway , we simply ordered in person and were given a ‘beeper’ to tell us when to collect - again this new system we found worked really well . We also had a few meals inside the gorgeous new restaurant area . The staff , as we also found at the take away area , are all extremely friendly and polite and of course the food was as good as always - we loved the new chips ( me a little too much , I can normally leave chips alone but not these!!) . I’m vegetarian and there’s plenty for me - halloumi fries with a really fresh side salad was my favourite. The rest of my family always say the fish is the best from the Haven ! Lots for my 5 year old to choose from and these meals are a perfect size . Thank you and can’t wait to come back again soon!

We have visited regularly the haven from our home in St Austell before the makeover, so when the make over had been completed we had to take a trip. And The Haven didn't disappointed! Beautifully and tastfully refurbished the shops is well stocked with all the bits and pieces you could possibly need for a day at the beach. The restaurant is contemporary but welcoming and we wish we had booked a table instead! However we ordered online which was super easy and not difficult to bespoke what we wanted ! Ordering fish and chips always seems so faffy but this was all made super easy online... we arrived and our order was just being made so super fresh and hot when we got it. The batter wss perfect light and crispy and the chips were delicious and not greasy or over cooked!! The staff were exceptionally busy like the rest of Cornwall at the moment however there were plenty of smiles all round and we can't wait for our next visit! Thank you guys !!

Visited The Haven with a group of friends, and had booked our slots for our food for just after we arrived, as of course you would nowadays as the pandemic has sent the world in a spin and the need to regulate and organise (as best you can with the British public especially!) the onslaught of tourists that swamp Cornwall in a post lock down world that has left no many choices for people other than to holiday at home. Having seen an earlier review complaining about slots I can't get my head round the fact they think about forward planning or even considering they may not be the only one's wanting fish and chips from the only chippy for a good few rural miles.But anyway, you can't understand blatant ignorance if you have a functioning brain along with the slightest bit of awareness of the current situation.So when we arrived, my friend's was called out bang on time, then one by one, so the rest came out, all within a few minutes of the time slots, more than remarkable considering the small crowd of people that were all there for a slice of the golden fry!When I got my hands on my fish and chips (and mozzarella sticks!), walked along the coast path to view the harbour and sea, it was perfect, great food and good company makes all the difference in life.Always worth the drive, top service from the staff, always warms the soul with great, quality food!Well done The Haven for sticking through these times, and to any impatient tourist, take a look around, you aren't the only one here and think about the person who's pouring their all into providing you a great experience...

I have been coming to beautiful Gorran Haven for some years now and one treat has always been getting fish & chips and having them on the beach. However, my visit here makes me think this is another pleasure forever consigned to the past. It used to be a hatch where you could cure up and order your fish and chips, like any fish and chip shop anywhere in England. Now It has been thoroughly upgraded to provide a sit-down meal area and has succumbed to the Covid culture of reserving ‘slots’ online. The upshot of this is that should you dare to just ‘turn up’ and happen to fancy some fish and chips you are very much bottom of the priority queue. I was told I would have to wait 45 mins. I trundled back to the beach and walked over again after that time. It took a further 20 mins (so over an hour in total) to get my order. When it did come they had left out the mushy peas. Perhaps the worst of it, though, was that the chips were more like generic ‘restaurant’ chips rather than traditional ‘chippy’ chips. In bringing things ‘up to date’, presumably ‘for our convenience,’ they have managed to ruin a very simple but treasured English experience.

Thank you, Rebekah & Nathan, for a beautiful meal last night in your wonderful new restaurant! The breaded plaice was amazing and the portion of chips was huge! We are so lucky to have such wonderful food on our doorstep. Can't wait until we join you again!

Ordered a takeaway fish and chip lunch for us and our friends whilst staying very nearby. Great food and a very efficient booking service online made it a pleasurable experience without any fuss. Lots of food on offer aside from fish and chips - tartare sauce portions are sizeable so no need to do what we did and order 8 portions for 4 people!!! Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area.

Living locally I could not wait to try out the newly refurbished HAVEN restaurant and takeaway.I decided to eat inside because of the inclement weather and was warmly greeted and shown to my table. Everything about the place is carefully designed to make the customer feel special. That is even before the wonderful food is served. I had fish chips and curry sauce – the fish was tasty and the batter crispy. The chips – a very generous portion – were cooked brilliantly and accompanied by a tasty curry sauce.We are so lucky to have this fantastic local chip shop run by a very hard-working young couple. I shall be returning very soon

Fantastic Fish & Chip Shop. Highly recommended. Fish burgers are lovely and chips are great too. The Chip shop has had a refurbishment and looks great. We love visiting when we come to Gorran Haven

How lucky to be around the corner from this great business just reopened. Friendly, efficient, and most of all completely delicious. My gluten free batter was crisp and delicious, my husband's large haddock was a giant, tasty portion also in perfect batter. Even waiting for it outside was a great experience as the tide surged onto the tiny road just a few yards away.

After our stunning coastal path walk we felt very fortunate to find these guys open at lunchtime as they only re opened today after lockdown and a refurb. The delicious cod and haddock were freshly cooked in great batter, and the medium portion of yummy chippy was very generous ( and pipping hot) . My partner enjoyed the mushy peas too! Staff were v friendly and helpful. Ate on a bench, in the sunshine overlooking the beach, what a great lunch! Thank you.

Great value, excellent fish and brilliant service. All in an ideal quiet location that will give you some outstanding views whilst you eat.

We stayed near by and ate here too often, that's because the food was great! We had wonderful weather on our trip so sitting out looking at the sea whilst eating fish and chips seemed the best way to spend the evening. Fish was great, chips were lovely and the staff were excellent. Given how busy Friday night was we were treated like the only customers around, that's surprisingly rare.

The best gluten free fish and chips I’ve ever had, family liked the gluten ones yo! Good product range with extensive g/f options, we’ll priced, good service. Defo worth a visit

Faultless little find on the harbour, Haven have surpassed my expectations which were already high from reading the recommendations. We tried both the cod and the haddock and the large pieces were amazing, light crispy batter covering thick juicy flakes, freshly cooked to order and served with fresh thickly cut chips, no scraps. So good we came back twice. Icing on the cake for us was the amazing customer service, as we were stuck with the grandkids in Maccies we thought we would miss our longed for fish n chip tea, took a chance and phoned our order ahead for pick at 8pm, their closing time. I thing was too much trouble for these guys, freshly cooked to perfection large haddock and chips ready for us at closing time. Thank you guys, we will be back.

Absolute restaurant quality fish and chips, we added mushy peas & curry sauce as recommended by another reviewer and we weren’t disappointed, ate them on the beach on our last evening......bliss.

Best fish and chips in the village local to the area but best service and local sourced fish would highly recomend to anyone visiting fish and chips on the beach until you have tried it you wouldnt know

Managed 3 visits over the course of 2 weeks. Wonderful fresh fish and chips, served by the helpful staff at The Haven and consumed in the evening sun on the beach in Gorran Haven.

Another lovely week spent in Gorran :) We always have dinner from the haven several times when we are in Gorran , the food this year has been fabulous as always and can’t recommend enough to anyone visiting .Good arrangements in place to ensure visitors are safe due to COVID-19 but you still feel relaxed visiting and ordering - try the shop next door for lots of lovely beach bits and things to take home !

Good value, lovely fish and chips with mushy peas and curry sauce. Well worth a visit. Would recommend.

Excellent fish n chips, beautiful crumbling cod, batter was excellent. Enjoyed sitting on the harbour wall at Gorran beach, stunning food and scenery.

First time we have had fish and chips from here and we were not disappointed, freshly cooked to order, perfectly cooked fish with a light crispy batter, not greasy, - will definitely come back.

We really enjoyed our cod and chips. The chips were the best we have had in a long while. Everything was freshly cooked as we ordered. The location near to the beach is great.

Fantastic fish and chips 👏 wonderful friendly service And extra special to be able to eat them on the beach 👏

A lovely takeaway situated just by the sea . Beautiful fish and chips . Gluten free batter available , lots of choice on the menu . Fairly priced . Benches 20seconds away to enjoy watching the waves as you enjoy your food . Customer service faultless staff very attentive and polite Great portion sizes . Couldn’t fault it at all . A must try if I’m the area you won’t be disappointed

Freshly cooked fish not heated up and perfect chips. Friendly staff and home made tartare sauce. Cannot fault them

The best food is always good ingredients treated with respect and that is just what we got. Really fresh, well cooked fish in the lightest batter and with nice chunky chips (none of your revolting McDonalds stringy things here, thank you).We took our paper-wrapped packages to the benches on the seafront and all sat in a line admiring the sea and enjoying our lunch. Beautifully hot and crispy - this is how fish and chips used to be...

I’ve eaten fish and chips all over the place and the haven for me is the best fish I’ve eaten. A must if your in the area. Just wish it was open everyday all year :)

On a recent holiday to Mevagissey we visited the Haven twice, once to eat in and again for a takeaway.Inside it's clean, bit the Ritz, but does the job. Our daughter was in one of her fussy moods, but the staff were happy to accommodate her choice of meal! The takeaway service whilst not brisk, was a lot quicker than most seaside chippy's. On both occasions the food was well cooked, although the takeaway portions were more generous and cheaper. So my top tip, unless it's raining get a takeout and eat on one if the benches by the harbour....spot on!

Visiting this little cove and came across this nice little fish and chip shopit was lunch time and the kids were hungry so we thought we would give this a goFood is cooked to order, which is a good thing, you know it has not been sat for a hour, and also they are very freindly and welcoming. no issues with sand on your feet here.the food arrived and the onion rings i ordered was out of this world, massive and impressive are the words that came to mind, lightly coated in crispy batter. the fish was equally the same with good well cooked chips.my son had a homemade burger, which he said he enjoyed and tasted better than previous ones he had eaten elsewhere, and the bread bun looked fresh and light.The thing here is that the portion of food was relevant to what you wanted to eat, not massive amounts of chips and oversized fish, a really good all round meal. The peas need a mention too, really tatsted like the good old mushy peas like i used to remember, not like some i have tried locally to where i live.A good clean premises with a bigger than average menu to choose from, a gem of a spot that really needs a good shout out for good efforts.We ate for 4 for less than 30 quid, that is very good value for money in my book, considering all the food and drinks we had on the go, locally that would have been far more, and we paid more than that in other places in cornwall, so well done to them for keeping it affordable. I would go back here in a heart beat and recommend a visit

All items appear to be cooked on demand, the food was lovely and plentiful. The service was friendly.

What a great find. Fish and chips cooked to order; sustainably sourced fish, recyclable packaging, friendly service and great tasting fish and ships. What’s not to like???? ... oh, and a great view from a nearby bench!!!!

Can't fault the fish and chips here they were excellent. I loved the service by the curly haired dude, he sounded a bit like a computer voiceover or something but very jovial and brightened up what was a miserable day. They even let us borrow a tray to take our food to the beach, which was a bit of a shock initially. You can't do this up north as it would probably be used as a weapon or something.

I'm glad we avoided the queues in Padstow and made our way to Gorran Haven for fish and chips instead. The takeaway is very friendly and efficiently organised and the food is great. Even during busy times the service is quick and the quality remains high. Great value for money as well!

3 standard fish, 1 large unbattered sausage, 2 kids portions of scampi with chips, 1 large portion of chips, 3 pickled onions, 1 small pot of curry sauce and a little pot of tartare sauce = £31.

Had cups of tea and ice creams. We were allowed to take our mugs on to the beach and enjoy at leisure.

Only sunny day so popped to Gorran Haven and had fish and chips with their homemade tarare sauce. Delicious!

Nice clean chippy only a short walk from the beach, ladies serving were friendly and even lend you a tray so that you may take your food down to sit by the sea.

Beautiful fresh fish cooked to order and served with a smile. I’m guessing you’ll have queues over the summer but it will be worth the wait. Will be back soon to try the crab cakes!

This is just the best fish and chips you can get by the sea, we have just come back from another week in Gorran and we cant recommend this shop enough !

A great fish shop to get your Tea from when visiting Gorran Haven everything is made to order Guaranteeing lovely fresh Fish and chips, Burgers,pizzas and too many other meals and sides to mention.

Wonderful fresh fish and proper chips! Who can ask for more. The fish is cooked to order rather than cooked and left heated which means better taste.

Had fish and chips for 8. They let you borrow a tray to carry it back to the beach. All really tasty. Thanks.

I feel a fake as I only got chips but this place was busy. A great menu and all cooked to order. Chips were great eaten on the beach. Cooked to perfection and not full of soggy fat

My partner and I have been staying in Gorran Haven for a few nights as a break. We decided to get fish and chips and were really looking forward to it because the reviews were great. We decided we would have cod bites and chips, with sides of mushy peas, tartar and curry sauce too. Unfortunately the food a low standard. The cod bites were extremely oily and so my partner (who usually has a great appetite) could not eat them. The chips were average and the tartar sauce was wasn’t great. We won’t be having fish and chips here if we ever return to lovely Gorran Haven.

Visited whilst we were staying at Treveague Farm campsite. Chips were great but the fish was out of this world. Crispy batter, really great texture and overall the best fish & chips that I've come across. We'll be back!!

The title probably says it all.

Very friendly staff, service was great and food was delicious. A little wait as it was cooked fresh. Very much recommend.

Shocking service. Took forever to get hot chips. Staff rude and very slow. Other people there had to get fish recooked as it wasn't cooked properly.

For a place only open on Friday at this time of year you’d think they would make a big effort to serve the freshest of fish especially being on the coast

Had the most amazing takeaway gluten free fish and chips here on Friday night. The batter was tasty and the chips and were the best I have had for a long time. All of it was cooked in a separate fryer. My husband also enjoyed his fish and chips. They must have been good because we ate the lot!

Really the best fish and chips we have ever tasted . Cooked to order , faultless. Can't wait to go back

Sehr einfach aber sehr typisch britische fish and chips. Wenn man nett fragt kann man sein essen dann gegenüber im Cakebreads essen.

Not only were my chips perfect, the fish cake wonderful, and the service exemplary, but they even offered gluten free batter for my companion.

First class fish and chips - lovely white fish and light tasty batter and perfectly cooked chips. Staff most friendly and welcoming - tray and mugs offered for those that want them.

What a perfectly located and delicious fish and chips shop. The staff were so helpful and efficient getting our order for 24 people ready. The fish really delicious and the chips just perfect. I look forward to coming back. They're busy so I'm glad I pre-booked and they excelled. Thankyou. It helped make our Cornwall weekend a resounding success.

The portion size is huge and the fish was very fresh. There is a good range of traditional accompaniments, pickled onions, eggs etc., and the staff were friendly and efficient.

All the food was cooked to order so everyone got fresh food every time. The large cod definitely lives up to its name and the batter is crispy even after traveling back wrapped up to our tent. The food was lovely from here well worth a visit

Used this place a couple of times during our stay. Freshly cooked every time, good value, sensible portions.

Just off the beach and within walking distance of all the holiday lets

Enjoyed are visit to this chippy, best we have been to in the area. Everything is freshly cooked so be prepared to wait, but that’s what makes it taste nice.

Really very good fresh Fish and chips and just by the beach. They lend you trays (very kind) and it’s great. Thank you

We were doing the coastal path when we arrived to Gorran Haven. We stumbled across this lovely little chippie and had a couple of portions of fish & chips. They were among the best we've ever had. Crispy chips, tasty fish in a crispy and tasty batter. Very nice tartare sauce. Very nice and friendly service. Wish I can get back there again!

we had an evening meal here instead of going back to our tent and cooking, it was recommended by a few people i saw on the beach who said the food was great, so we ordered some and it was great !!! it has an extensive menu

Just go if you're in Gorran Haven. Great chippie - our fish and chips were excellent. Also had some very nice crab-cakes - unusual and very nice. Friendly service. They lend you a tray if youre on the beach - which is very useful.

Arrived today and rather then cook went to get fish and chips. Well worth it. Cod and chips lovely. Onion rings are fantastic worth just getting these.

We first had fish and chips from the Haven on the beach at Gorran Haven last year and they were delicious.

What more can you ask for , found this place while getting abit lost.... And are we glad. :) delisous food and even waiting shows how fresh its all made. Hope to "get lost" here again soon

Lovely fresh cooked fish & chips. Thoroughly enjoys our chippy tea! The gravy was delicious the best we have had in a chip shop. Thank you

After a long drive from London this is just what the doctor ordered. Fresh food and friendly service. We could not be bothered to cook or hunt for a restaurant so take away fish & chips from The Haven hit the bullseye! Opening times posted as a photo in response to request for these. Enjoy!

Hier gibt’s sehr leckere Fish & Chips zum mitnehmen (Imbis). Ein paar Meter weiter am Hafen / am Strand lässt es sich dann in tollem Ambiente genießen...

Omg the best gluten free fish and chips fried in separate oil and with gluten free vinegar. The rest of the family loved there meal too. Good range too

No anemic limp chips here! Ordered a large cod, not disappointed, curry sauce tasty. I am local and these are hard to beat for a small takeaway! Lovely, sat on the harbour a\fterwards with the sunset...ansome...

Fish & chips / Pie & chips was fabulously tasty for the price. Everything was freshly cooked while you waited (about 10 minuets)! The staff was very friendly and helpful with a smile!!

We were so impressed with the fish and chips when we stayed in Gorran Haven a few years ago, we had to have some on this visit.

Love this place! The staff are lovely and the fish and chips are fabulous. Everything is freshly cooked and well worth waiting for 10 minutes. Sit and eat on the benches overlooking the beach. Perfect!

I literally stumbled into this great chippy - the South West Coastal Path ‘spits’ you out into Gorran Haven just by the Haven Takeaway.

The best fish and chips served by lovely, friendly staff. Take the fish and chips to the beach which is only a few steps away. Couldn't be better. Delicious and freshly cooked.

You have to wait for your fish and chips to be ready because nothing is kept in warmers, all the food is freshly cooked, and is definitely worth the wait. Possibly the best fish and chips ever.

This is a very small, very busy takeaway, so expect to queue and expect to then wait as the food it all cooked fresh to order but it’s worth the wait. Choose a nice day so you can enjoy your fish and chips around the tiny Gorran Haven harbourside. I was probably unlucky as I had a tail end of cod but the batter was perfectly light and a huge portion of chips. Don’t worry it’s not just fish there are plenty of other options for anyone in a group who doesn’t like fish.

Brilliant service from this takeaway. Messaged before we went to enquire about gluten free and received a reassuring reply. Food is cooked to order in gluten free batter and in a separate fryer so no contamination. Everyone was very helpful when we went in, even lent us a tray so we could take them down to the beach to enjoy them. Fantastic!

Best Fish and Chips around. Cooked fresh. Fish had lovely crispy batter and the chips were chunky. Sat down overlooking the bay. Highly recommended.

We live in Cornwall and love to go over to The Haven for our fish & Chips. Freshly cooked and delicious. Wish she would open all weekends through the year though especially Saturday lunch time

Great fish and chips. Cooked fresh order. Friendly service. Delicious batter. Served piping hot. Can highly recommend.

It's a highly recommended place from the locals. You can have the national food of english as they say - fish & chips. It's fresh made and more than delicious! Try also fried sausage, take curry sause and enjoy!

This was a holiday purchased through Luxury Escapes. It's a lovely spot. Right on the beach. Massive swimming pools, great breakfasts, and everything you need within the complex. If you want to eat locally, there are good restaurants 150 meter walk down the road. And the food here is half the price of the hotel.

Fish cooked fresh to order, and crisp chips. Not the best fish ever tasted, but cooked with care. Lovely friendly staff who offered to lend trays to take down to the beach, could have borrowed proper mugs for tea too - heaven. Oh and a special mention to the homemade tartar sauce - one of the best I've had!

Fish is battered and cooked fresh while you wait I cannot priase it enough. Like a lot of people we ate ours straight away sitting on a bench overlooking the harbour. We went on two nights and would go again anytime

A fish and chip shop should usually be judged by two things: firstly the batter on its fish; but secondly by its chips. This may seem obvious, but so many get it wrong. The Haven, however, does not. Cooked to order, even if it's just chips (which this was), and clearly in fresh oil. And from here it's just a very short walk down to the harbour to eat them with a view.
