The Red Mullet in Teignbridge

Chips are really nice but very very salty.

Chicken burgers are excellent! Genuinely brilliant, but the battered sausages are disgusting! Just had one tonight and it’s like pink foam inside, horrible texture and virtually no flavour, obviously extremely cheap, chips were a bit poor too, portion size on a large compared to a shop in buckfastleigh are tiny, and they aren’t crispy, just pale and in many cases pretty raw still in the middle, curry sauce was good though! Would come back for the chicken burgers but everything else we had tonight was pretty poor

My partner picked up some Chips to go with our tea, we thought we would give the place another try as we had a bad experience in the past, the chips were not chips but straggly bits of potato and crispy bits, it’s unlikely the oil has been filtered or changed in quite sometime, which is very disappointing as is this is the only chippy in town, having been in the industry myself as a manager it’s not difficult to produce high standard with small adjustments

A great fish and chip shop. The service was quick and staff friendly. Food was good and reasonably priced.

Best fish and chip shop for miles around. Always tasty, never greasy and well priced.

Superb cod and chips tried many times and all have been good top class english chip shop price is ok aswell you have to try this shop if you love your fish and chips

Nice food, more expensive and smaller portions than used to, but a tourist here and the only chippy for quite a distance

Always good food but a shame about the service!! When spending over £100.00 for a fish supper for a group of hungry campers, after ordering and paying, numerous customers are served in between - then we were told items were out of stock. In between the 3 consecutive orders the elapsed time is C45 mins, (No means of warming up), and other customers were served between our orders!!! When I politely asked, "What items are we are waiting for?" The reply was shouted ... "It's a busy night for a Tuesday, can't you see that that?" "Why have you asked me 3 times, OK, I'VE MADE A MISTAKE, I FORGOT THE CHICKEN GOUGONS!!! I didn't ask 3 times. As I'm not psychic, i didn't know what the delay was... Maybe an, "I'm sorry for the delay, however due to the unexpected influx of orders I've forgotten one of your items. Would you like to wait?" Would have been acceptable. I have never been to a place so rude so from experience please avoid

Fantastic quality fish cooked perfectly, and served by friendly professional family, also a great choice of other dashes

We’ve been going to the Red Mullet in Ashburton for many years. Always great quality, well cooked chips, fresh fish and crispy batter. Customer service is always second to none! I’m sure we’ll be visiting for many years to come 👍🏼 Highly recommended 😊

We have been using the Red Mullet in Ashburton for many years. Always excellent quality, well cooked chips, fresh fish and crispy batter. Customer service is always top notch. I’m sure we’ll be using them for years to come. Highly recommended 👍🏼

My Husband and i are in our eighties and live in ASHBURTON . We have fish and chips every week from the RED MULLET and we have always had excellent service from the staff and owner. I feel very angry at some of these reviews i have read , which i find unbelievable rude and unjust. This is our local "Chippy" and it has served us all through the "Pandemic" and the food has always been delicious and well presented. The Owner went out of his way to bring me my fish and chip lunch , once, when my husband was away. He certainly is not a BULLY, but rather a compassionate man who serves the public with our English Fish and chips etc. and keeps us all happy with fresh fish every week. PLEASE COME AND TRY AND ENJOY ALL THE RED MULLET HAS TO OFFER !DEANNA ROBINSON .and REG ROBINSON

Cracking food cooked and served by the friendly owner and family, I highly recommend it

We went here for our tea, what a mistake..... ordered cod and chips with mushy peas, well tepid, greasy, hard chips and old comes to mind! It was awful and tasteless apart from the old fat taste! There was a young lady serving me who seemed to get a barrel of abuse from the ginger haired man cooking, in this day and age surely this is poor working conditions!!! I was going to say something but was worried about her getting more abuse when we left. This man is clearly a bully from what I could tell, my partner felt uneasy in there and felt he was staring at her constantly whilst shouting abuse.... We shall not be returning.. be warned and stay clear....

Just fantastic! 😋 Can’t understand negative reviews 🤔 Have been coming here for years and food is always top quality , a must try for anyone visiting the area ! Freshly cooked to order and quick service ,so many vegetarian options too !

We live locally in Totnes. We visited early evening and had 5 portions of chips ,battered sausage & fish. The chips were simply all small crispy bits.No whole chips at all. The fish(well what there was of it) looked like it had been battered twice to make it look bigger. The batter must have been at least 1/2 inch thick on both the fish & sausage and thats without exaggerating!! The staff were very miserable and looked like they didn't want to be there. We don't mind paying a fair price for decent food but this was just terrible and a waste of money. If we hadn't driven to the moors to eat our meal we would have taken them back for a refund. We will be going to Buckfastleigh from now on where they know what fish & chips should look like. I suggest you save your money and do the same. to sum up JUST TERRIBLE

Staying nearby for a week and visited the Red Mullet twice. Excellent quality food. Would definitely recommend

We stopped by for something to eat and the fish and chips were ok. Portions were a little on the small side but taste was not bad. However, the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. The lady behind the counter was unfriendly and borderline rude. We won't be returning any time soon.

The Red Mullet has been our whole family’s favourite fish & chip shop… so much so… we have fish & chip Fridays. We while heartily recommend😊.

Food was delicious ,fresh and cooked to perfection ,great service,would highly recommend ! Will definitely be returning

Terrible service, awful chips. They forgot one of our chips from our order so when we went back to say we were missing it, the lady behind counter refused to give me them and said, and I quote, ‘What you gonna do about it?’

Cracking fish and chips, specials cooked to order. Great service and always very tasty

What a rude man! Why would anyone go here for this type of abuse? Missed out on 30 hungry hashers because I hadn’t magicked a number out of my head as to how many would turn up, and wouldn’t let me get a word in edgeways! Lots of much nicer places to go. The Indian is amazing and Chinese takeaway too. So “ cod off” to the chippy!

Really good fish and chips been hear a few times and can't wait to go again

Anaemic chips, stodgy oily battered cod. Poor cooking oil leaving unpleasant aftertaste. Ranks in my 4 fish and chip experiences over 60 years where I threw them away. Waste of a good piece of cod. Fryer needs to go to chipnfin in South Molton and a number of others to recalibrate what good looks like. Truly I would rather have thrown £20 in the fire.

i would suggest the fish fryer seeks another career as he obviously dislikes dealing with the public

Three lots of fish & chips and two curry sauces went down extremely well with my family. The fish (cod) was flakey, juicy and well cooked with the batter being light, crispy and not overly greasy. Definitely a highlight for me! Chips were also well cooked and very tasty. Service was friendly and efficient. Good sized portions and good value as well, so overall happy and would definitely return!

Popped in when visiting family this week and food was enjoyed by everyone …couldn’t fault it !quick service and friendly staff too despite how busy it was ,would definitely recommend and can’t wait for our second visit

Pleasant little shop with delightful staff, just a shame the batter was tough and leathery. The chips, sausages and fish were excellent.

Terrible quality fish & chips, the worst I have ever tasted. Nothing positive to say about this fish & chip shop, would not give it one ⭐️. Owner is very bad tempered and unprofessional. Would not recommend.

Very nice chips and Batterd sausages

Excellent food quality and reasonabley priced

Wenn sich eine Warteschlange vor einem Fish-and-Chip-Shop bildet, ist es meist ein gutes Zeichen. Vor mir Mamas und Papas, hinter mir der Pfarrer und Arbeiter nach Dienst. Und siehe da - das lange Warten hat sich mehr als gelohnt: Frisch zubereiteter Cod von bester Qualität - genau auf den Punkt wunderbar knusprig golden frittiert - dazu sehr gute Pommes - herrlich. Ein junges Paar an der Theke - freundlich trotz sehr viel Betriebs. Thank you!

Food is good there is a big menu. Yes there is a bit of a wait as things are cooked but at least you know it is fresh. Small shop so kay have to wait outside but that isn't an issue. One thing I would say is the male behind counter is a bit ignorant never even acknowledges anyone in the shop but that isn't end of world for good food.

The most I've enjoyed a takeaway for a long time. Six very happy customers.

Used a few days ago food is very nice!

I decided to give this place a 2nd chance after the last shenanigans when I ordered a large fish & chips and was given 2 pieces of frozen fish slapped together and battered. Saturday night, 8:25pm I was told by the owner behind the counter...

Can't go wrong eating here great food

Lovely fish and chips every time in going to the red mullet would definitely recommend going if in ashburton

Decided to check out the local fish and chip shop on recommendation from friends. Chips were great but fish was not very good quality, heavily battered and oily!

Food was cold and undercooked . Man behind the counter was a horrible abusive man who shouted at customers and workers if they got anything wrong . In my opinion don’t go here unless you want an abusive petty man shouting in your face.

Food is outstanding, usually have a cod chunk and it’s always very meaty and great value! Only thing of note was the service received, young girl on the counter had a terrible attitude, snapped at me 3 times in our very quick transaction, she could do with a lesson on customer service, I don’t normally leave reviews but I was honestly shocked but don’t let this put you off, aside from that it’s a very good chippy.

Top quality fish and chips, friendly efficient service. Gorgeous light fresh batter! Medium chips was a good size adult meal.

Great cod and chips nice size portion and I like my food 😋

Great value, excellent chips, unfortunately fish was a bit to greasy.

Would highly recommend the Red Mullet for food and the services is great polite friendly staff.

That was the best fish and chips I’ve ever eaten

Golden fresh crispy batter, melt in the mouth generous size fish and good chunky chips. Proper old fashioned fish and chips all served in recyclable wrappings

Good food and friendly service.

Roger and the team were not phased by a massive order for about 40 of us camping nearby. They served us amazing food, even with such a big order! Would recommend a visit. Thank you so much for being so helpful.

We stayed in Ashburton for a week in Sep 2021. Lovely fish and chips and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

Terrible batter with tasteless small fish and very greasy chips with no taste and is not cheap expected more as I had to wait 10 mins for my order. Give it a miss.

Highest quality fish and chips, I was surprised how nice they are. Probably the best fish and chips I have ever had! Was staying on holiday locally and got a takeaway expecting the usual fare but was blown away by the quality of these! Well...

Good fish and chips! 1/4pounders are lovely too!

Disappointing. The worse I've had in a long time. I will not be returning. Portions are tiny. As a family we usually get large chips between us which is always enough for 4 of us. Large chips was not enough for even two of us on this occasion. The chips that I did have did not seem fresh and were just crispy left over bits. Well below par and what I had expected having read the other reviews.

Excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent staff. Only complaint is over priced, but maybe just for holiday season .....

Great fish and chips, freshly fried and a generous portion .

The best fish and chips in the area

Fish and chips, as you would expect and as it should be.

Ashburton is the gift the keeps on giving, this is up there with the quality of the curry house This chippy is great and is reasonably priced. Get a pre order in as it's normally got a que, would recommend to anyone looking for a good fish supper!

Love this chippy we've been their twice since moving into the area and it's lovely

Great tasting fish and chips and friendly staff

OMG how do they make them so damn good. Best fish and chips EVER. Gert lush.

Need a chip shop close to rattery as we are staying in Ashbourne woods we put chips shop near us and this one came up this chip shop was best I have ever been while on holiday…. We’ll be definitely coming back salt and vinegar was to much that’s why I put 4 out of 5 every thing else was ok

Not great,been a few times won't be going back the people who work in there are so miserable.

Without a doubt the most enjoyable portion of chips I have had in years. Everything is priced reasonably and cooked well. Staff are always friendly and it's a pleasure to visit. Always a good end to a walk on the moors.

Amazing burger, lovely cheesy chips and friendly staff. Shame I'm only visiting for a few days, will come again if in area

Great food at a great price, owners are really pleasant and it's nice and clean throughout.

As a family we have been going to the Red Mullet for many years and have always had excellent food and customer service.

This is as reliable as it gets - very well cooked fish, tasty chips and very friendly staff. I often phone ahead so that I don't wait at all - but as is often the case in Ashburton, it can be good fun to hang...

Me and my other half came here for the first time yesterday evening and it certainly won't be our last. The food and service was absolutely superb and we will definitely be repeat customers! Coming in at 8pm we weren't sure what to expect (Usually in a chippy, you tend to get the dribs and drabs at the end of the day that have been sitting out for a while don't you?!) - but the fish and chips were still fresh and I just wanted to say what a great job the staff were doing there. We are very much looking forward to our next visit; I'm not going to lie, it was that good that we are tempted to go again tonight!

Best Chip shop around Do lovely Fish Chips Highly recommended

Thought I would get a take away for tea what a fantastic meal we received although very busy the food was served with a smile and very hot well recommended so if you visit Ashburton please look the red mullet up you will not be...

A brilliant fish and chip shop. Food is love moved to Ashburton 3 years ago and don't go anywhere else for fish and chips now, very friendly faces and always feel welcomed, also very friendly to the children.

Went to this chippy for the first time on the evening of good Friday. I must admit that when I saw the queue outside I almost turned away but I’m glad that I didn’t. I put in quite a big order and although the staff were under pressure with the amount of people they were dealing with I was still made welcome with a friendly service. They even gave my dog a free sausage.All in all the food was amazing and I would rate this the best chippy that I have been to in a long time. Will definitely be back.

Firstly would like to say the fish is nice. But it is a shame the owner let's the business down by being extremely rude to customers and has melt downs in front of children, especially when it's busy. Perhaps the owner needs to go on...

Being a local of the town so support local business I use the red mullet. Food is pretty good but Roger is a loud mouth who cannot cope if it gets a little busy. Prepare to hear shouting and moaning because this town needs to make their minds up, quiet one day then busy the next it's no good for me this way. After being caught by this mans swearing and abuse last night Thursday 1st April I wil not be going there again. He told me good you can be another local I don't need and your barred. Never been barred from a chip shop...Make sure if do run the gauntlet of his bad temper and abuse Cash only on no account contact less or card.. No trace apparently

Fish was cold in middle but otherwise fine

Friendly service loads of choice tastes great!

Used to go here over 30 years ago so returned for nostalgic reasons but fish and chips were ok

Lovely tasty chips and vege burger. We really enjoyed our takeaway

Simple order came with friends .cod and chips twice and southern fried fish burger .amazing ,quality food .can’t fault it .be back again soon !

Bought family meal. Great choice. Amazing fresh fish. Light batter. Kids enjoyed cod chunks. Chips best ever said Lucy!!! Def going back!

One of the worst fish and chip takeaways in a long time. Undercooked batter on the fish, still raw batter on the inside, same with the battered sausage,lukewarm chicken and mushroom pie, undercooked chip and obviously cheap sausage used for the jumbo sausage. Wow what...

Haddock & chips, & scampi & chips both good. Amazed that staff wore no face coverings, no screens. We waited outside

Excellent service not so long to wait. Ordered fish and chips, sausage and batter with chips. Best tasting ever. Chips were best I have ever tasted. Thank you

Soggy chips, too much batter that was undercooked. Very disappointing, I would not recommend. The girl who was serving was not at all friendly either. Not sure what was going on as the previous reviews are more good than bad.

friendly,quick service;amazing food ;lots of choices for vegetarians too,100% 5 star service and food ,couldn't have been better !! highly recommend this amazing takeaway.

Just moved to ashburton so checking out all the amenities. Great service let me take the dog in no probs also he got a few cheeky bites of sausage from the owner, also probably the best fish and chips I have had in a long time! The menu has a great variety on it, ended up ordering way to much the portion sizes were great! All in all highly recommended.

Cannot say it was anything other than average. Not the best we’ve had or worst. Wasn’t keen on the batter for the fish seemed rather limp. Staff friendly.

Very good food make sure you have cash if not post office over the road has cash machine

Pretty decent, but batter can be a little on the soggy side

The best fish and chips in a very long time! Fish was very fresh and generous,batter was light, crispy and tasty with lovely chips! We came from Ivybridge and they were hot enough to eat without re-heating when we got home so well worth the short journey to get them.We would highly recommend The Red Mullet!

Extremely busy and only 1 proper member of staff cooking and serving. Very long frustrating wait.

Good fish and chips, very busy, but a good sign thats its popular. Friendly staff

Greasy Luke warm ordered peas didn't get them

am visiting ashburton for the first time. as a dutch person i was eager to try delicious traditional English food - fish and chips. i had high expectations for this place but they were slashed immediately. the cod was undercooked, the batter was stuck to the paper upon opening. chips may as well not have cooked. asked for salt and there was basically none. and to top it all off the mushy peas very slushy and the servic really unpleasant. very disappointed.

Good food. Good service. Good menu.

We are always wary when we look at trip advisor and everyone raves about a place as we have been caught out before.But this one does live up to its five stars I have given it. Excellent fish, lovely batter and great chips, reasonably priced too.
