The best fish and chips ever. Chips were huge and very crispy, not greasy. The fish was delicious. My partner had fish goujans and he said it was the best he had ever had. Super impressed.

Sadly, very disappointing take away fish 'n' chips. It took absolutely ages for the order to be fulfilled, it was very, very expensive, and the meals themselves were dry and very poor - seemed as though they had been kept warmed up for hours. Avoid unless you are stuck for a (much better) alternative.

Got a take away fish supper to take to the beach. Really enjoyed it. Best chunky chips ever. Beautifully crisp on the outside, while light and fluffy on the inside. Fish was good too. Freshly cooked. Batter wasn’t too heavy

Great location on the front. Also part of a restaurant. We were expecting a great end to a great day out. Fish was nice, chips not so. Disappointed.

Just was in need of a lunch on the cheap. Called at the co op for a meal deal but was yearning for chips as well. The chips were absolutely the best I have ever tasted. I would go back here just for these! Great prices too

Grab a takeaway of chips and mushy peas from this place with my partner, and was pleasantly surprised! They use veggie oil, pretty important for us vegans. And their mushy peas? Delicious. Not the usual processed type, but fresh and flavoursome.

My husband and I had fish and chips from this very modest looking take away on the harbour in St Maws in June 23. It was truly excellent! The fish (cod) was very fresh, the batter light, crisp and delicious and the chips crunchy and tasty. It really was one of the best fish and chips experiences ever! Highy recommended.

The takeaway fish and chips were excellent. Freshly cooked, lovely flaky fish and crispy chips, and good mushy peas. Plenty of seats nearby beyond the Idle Rocks Hotel to sit and eat.

Our first night in St Mawes and we chose the Watchtower because it was on the sea front and close to our B&B. We were not disappointed. The staff were welcoming from the off and continued so through the experience. We went for the specials, Ribeye Steak and the sweet, Strawberry and cream baked alaska which was served by the Head Chef! (A nice touch) and a carafe of red wine to top it all. All of which was excellent. Well done all to the Watch Tower Team.

Was really looking forward to this, ordered a large fish and chips, not cheap, but hey I'm on holiday. Fair to say staff seemed both grumpy and disinterested. Food was disappointing, chips were a combination of both undercooked and overcooked ( not and easy ting to do) the fish was OK, but very small considering this was a large portion Not a great experience

Freshly cooked,beautiful flaky white fish. Chips are crispy and very tasty. Generous portions. Not cheap and at the busier times, you have to wait, but WELL worth it. Recommend sitting on the beach opposite if the weather is good.

Quite simply, the best takeaway fish and chips you will ever taste. Beautifully cooked, crisp batter and fantastic fish.

This little through-the-hatch chippy is a good option for food while in town, but unlike most chip shops, The Watch Out isn't much cheaper than a sit down meal in a restaurant. There was also quite a long wait for the food, which was pretty good, as you'd expect from a chip shop.

Visited St Mawes on the ferry from Falmouth, just fancied some fish and chips whilst sat in the harbour watching the world go by, saw this chippy and had high expectations but was sadly very very disappointed. Ordered 2 portions, had to wait 10 mins for them to be cooked which wasn’t a problem, the issue was the chips, not the traditional hand cut chips you assume your going to get at a chippy but frozen chips cooked in the fryer and they were awful, really, really disappointing and both lots of chips went in the bin, and to top it off they were £10 for a regular portion.

Was very excited about eating fish and chips by the harbour, Watch Out was recommended by a hotel i was staying at in St Mawes. Sadly it was a bit of a disappointment, fish was small and over cooked and the chips were terrible! Ordered 4 portions and all of us felt the same way. Disappointing!

Worst chips I have ever had. Ordered 2 portions of chips and 2 pots of curry sauce. Waited over half an hour. The chips were really dry and hard as though they had been in the warming cabinet all day and the curry sauce was lukewarm. The queue outside was not because they were busy but because they were inefficient, the chips were inedible and went in the bin. Not great when you have just driven 400 miles and are really hungry. Whoever owns this business needs to organise some staff training. Would have awarded zero but minimum able to award on here is 1.

Ordered fish gougons with dips and they are to die for!!!!! A must if visiting St Maws …only complaint would be that the back end looked dirty… chip shop glass container was covered in grime

Absolutely stunning fish and chips. Worth waiting for. The large cod portion was huge in fact 1 and half pieces of cod. The mushy peas were minted, curry sauce and aioli wonderful. Truly fantastic

The Watch Out is the hatch next to the watch house restaurant. Terrible fish and chips - soggy batter and overcooked chips. We had been recommended there by a few people so was really disappointed.

Previous experiences have been good, however today we ordered two separate orders for the same table. Which we ordered at the same time, the drink didn’t come out for one of the orders and was asked for twice. Finally when all the food was out and still no drink we asked again, the server went off and came back with the tea and left. He came back again and asked for the receipt and left with no explanation. Came back with the receipt and said it’s ok you can have the tea (which we had paid for) The server was young and was being asked by the other staff to tell us stuff which created confusion. They should have come to us themselves. The vegetarian sausage was so overcooked that it wasn’t edible. I’ve skimmed softer rocks 🙈. Most of the food needed a life raft to stay afloat on the plate. Even something as simple as toast was dry and rock hard. Clearly had been made up early and been kept warm.

Dropped in last night to be greeted by a super friendly bar man. The pizza’s are incredible and their delicious Sunday roasts are now back in the menu. With an unbeatable location and stellar service it’s our favourite spot.....
