We wanted fish and chips to take onto the beach with us and found Val’s as we drove through Par. A friendly welcome was received and our order taken quickly. Our fresh Haddock was cooked to order but we didn’t have a lot of g wait. A varied menu at a good price. Our meal was delicious. We would highly teccomend.

We had 2x cheesy chips, sausages, onion rings and curry sauce. Would absolutely recommend, we loved our food and would definitely go back - first day on holiday so it was great to find somewhere so local, quick and open! Only critique was that there was lots of salt (like loads), would definitely go back but would just ask for a little bit less salt next time! Thank you, and amazing service, the lady behind the counter was so friendly and had a nice conversation with her!

Im disappointed to have to write this review. This place used to be great. Top quality fish and chips always fresh you had to wait for a bit but was well worth it. It has now unfortunately gone way way down hill. Had large cod and chips phoned it through to get the wait down a bit. The cod had been left in hot display for far too long and was rock hard underneath the chips tasted like the oil had not been changed. Avoid if you can there are better places within 10-15 mins. To the manager get this sorted get back to how you used to be.

Ordered haddock and chips, asked for very crispy batter but when arrived home (5mins in the car) opened them up to find the batter so soggy it stuck to the chips. When I rang to complain I was told I should buy it and eat it in the car if I didn’t want it to go soggy and he didn’t have time for my petty complaints

Had a large cod, large chips and a curry sauce and can safely say there was nothing large about it. Thought my partner had come back with the wrong order/half of it missing. Very poor sizing. Cod was lovely lightly battered and curry sauce was ok. But the chips were so undercooked had to throw half of them away. Very disappointing. Such a shame as it’s our local chippy, just means we will have to travel abit further to get a better meal. Sorry Vals we won’t be back.

Convenient location, efficient service (although there was no queue) and nice batter that wasn’t greasy. The fish didn’t taste of anything and the chips were mediocre. To the locals that rave about Vals Place I’d suggest getting out of Par and trying some decent chip shops. This has the potential to be a fantastic fish and chip shop which would be very successful especially with the holiday park nearby. Could do with a good renovation too. It’s like stepping back in time.

The most delicious chippy in town! I've ordered fish, chicken bites, chicken burgers, beef burgers, battered sausage, and a variety of sides from the menu, and everything has always been delicious, hot, and everything you could want from a chippy dinner! The kids' meals come with a toy, which always adds to the excitement, and they're very reasonably priced with a variety of options.

Beautiful chunks of white cod in a crispy and tasty with a portion of chips that are not swimming in grease, freshly cooked to order, totally awesome.

After a wonderful day driving around in the rain, we gave up and thought we’d cheer ourselves up with some delicious loca fish and chips. Sadly, at this juncture, the day was to take a turn for the worse. On returning to our holiday home from Vals lace with a bag full of goodies, we all hungrily tooked in, we couldn’t taste the difference between the box and the chips. ‘Daddy why do the chips taste like cardboard?’ The youngest exclaimed whilst the eldest sulkily pushed his fish around his plate asking why it tasted like water, it wasn’t even salt water. The curry sauce fell out of the tub like jelly from a mould and the beens were like pebbledash on a plate. Even the processed vegan nuggets that came out of a box tasted of disappointment and regret. ‘I actually had to eat a bag of popcorn afterwards to take the taste away, I felt sullied’ said one member of the family who wishes to remain anonymous. All in all, the worst chips this side of the English Channel. Avoid unless your tastebuds are dead. Their oil isn’t hot enough in the fryer and they were cooked for far too long.

Fancied Fish and chips takeaway on our last night in Par. Found this quirky takeaway chipshop in an unusual location on the one way system with its own parking. I ordered 1 small and one regular cod 1 regular chips and mushy peas. After a short wait it was all served up in cardboard boxes. Payment was cash or card so no problems there. Eating the food the fish was very tasty and moist with good flavour. However both pieces we're the same size. The chips were good but not brilliant and the mushy peas were good and not to runny. Overall would use again but not rush back as a priority if we return to Par in the future.

Went there once around few months ago around 16.45. Nice friendly staff willingly to chat whilst waiting for your order. Fish was lovely, batter crisp,but chips must have been refried from leftovers. They were hard, greasy and dark brown, with nothing in middle of each chip. These chips were very dehydrated due to re-frying, thus total overcooking. "Double fried" chips they were not. Those are real crispy on outside with plenty of soft spud within. Will never criticise without trying again in case twas one off "bad" day..so will be returning in oct/Nov. Watch this space...

So we ordered 2 X fish chips, fried chicken breast chips and a burger for tea. Well it was costly to start which doesn't bother me so long as food quality is good to very good. However this was adequate at best. Chips were 50% chips and 50% bits, fried chicken had been given that extra 2 minutes overcooking yet burger and fish were very good. I can see why they range from high stars to low stars, inconsistencies.

Just been down to this fish and chip shop because our local was closed. What a big mistake! The worst fish and chips we’ve had for a long while. The fish batter was black as you can see from the photo and the chips were tasting like leftovers from the weekend. If the owner/manager could see what has been served I am sure he would be very angry. Paid £15.35 for 1 x small fish & chips, 1 x small fish, 1x large sausage and 2 x peas which I think was an overcharge! If we weren’t so far away we would have taken them back!

Probably anticipating the evening rush (dont be influenced by the large queue inside!), the fish was pre-cooked and left under the heater (the additional wait seemed to be whilst the chips were being refreshed). Needless to say by the time we arrived, waited and got to eat it, it was not at its best to say the least - batter a toffee-like texture and the minimal fish flesh inside dry and chewy. Overpriced for what you get too although in hindsight that was a probably a blessing in disguise.

Couple running this on our visit didn't have a clue what each of them were doing and got orders in front of us wrong! Should have walked out when I saw a burger being deep fried. The fish was not fresh or freshly battered as the batter was smooth, not 'rough' as it would be if freshly done. I strongly suspect it is pre battered frozen fish as the shape is also a bit too uniform. The cost for 2 x medium cod and chips was £14 and not worth half of that. All served in a plastic bag so nice and sweaty and stuck to the paper when you get it home.

We picked up fish and chips for a treat having just moved to the area. The staff were pleasant and the shop looked very clean. The menu was nice and had quite a lot of choice and a few unusual things. The food was nice but unfortunately the batter on the fish was very thick and goopy. Also the wrappings were absolutely saturated with grease. I understand that the food is fried but it was quite excessive. Otherwise the food was very nice and we will be back again but perhaps better prepared to remove the excess grease.

We switched to this fish&chip shop from the 1 up Biscovey road because the quality of the chips they were serving was disgusting "warmed up" we go to this 1 fairly regularly you get really reasonable portions for your money and they are of good quality chips golden brown/crisp which is what I like.However you only seem to get this quality when the main owners are there at the time, I have noticed that when ever there are younger staff working in there that there is a drop in the amount of serving you get in chips.Recently bought a large portion of chips for 2.75 and it was the same woman that served us several times before and we seem to get the same amount i.e less everytime not acceptable!perhaps the definition of large needs to be spelt out? otherwise very good place to go to eat.

Visited as we were holidaying in Cornwall. Val's Place happens to be the closest of where we were staying. Staff pleasant, you wait for your food to be cooked. Price reasonable and enjoyed the Cod with chips.

I had heard so much about this chip shop. So made a detour and went in, the staff very welcoming and happy. However they don't fill you up.I sorry to say the chips where a mix of sitting for too long and some under cooked! All in all a mix of rubbish. Such a shame if the chips are not got, you don't really want to try the rest. Come on guys if it's after the rush. Don't give out the left overs cook it fresh.

Very clean place lovely staff. Prices very good. Fish and chips excellent especially on a Friday. Carpark on side so no problem parking. Lovely cheeky owner.

We went here because it seemed to be slightly busier than the other chip shop close by and how wrong were we.I accept that the food will be slightly different as we are from up north but wow!We asked for a steak pie dinner and a pie and chips were just thrown together, no gravy or peas so we had to pay extra for the gravy (not a problem) we also ordered fish and chips this together come to a whopping £13 and a few pennies. When we got to eating it was disgusting, the chips had been reheated about three times and were still cold, the fish was too greasy and tasteless which we didn't expect from cornwall of all places. Val needs to remove the word QUALITY from the side of her shop because the food isn't.

We were told by the locals that this chippy was a little hit and miss, so for a little while didn't even consider going here and choose to go for fish and chips in Tywardreath instead. Until one sunny afternoon when we drove past and fancied fish and chips, and to my surprise bumped in to the young chap who had regularly cooked our fish and chips in the Tywardreath fish and chip shop! The fish and chips was fantastic and considering the competitor comes to buy his fish and chips here on his day off it must be good! I think on this occasion the locals may have been wrong. We have been back since and we've always enjoyed what we have had. Certainly recommended.

Such a warm welcome from everyone and enjoyed seeing the locals at the bar laughing and enjoying themselves, a real feel of Cornish community about the place. Extensive menu so you don’t have to just stick to fish and chips, fish pie, curried cod and prawns to name but a few other choices. If you can get a window seat above the old lifeboat launch ramp do it. Enjoyed our meal here and a must visit if you are in the area.

We ordered lobster roll expecting some beautifully presented lobster curled round a tasty dressing. What turned up was a scant tablespoon of chopped overcooked lobster in a cold, cheap, tasteless white finger roll of bread that would have disgraced the bargain shelf of the cheapest supermarket. It was inedible. The side of hispi cabbage was well cooked, thankfully, or I would have left feeling very hungry. There are no loos. You have to use the dimly lit and droughty public loos in the adjacent council carpark. This is possibly the worst restaurant in St. Ives.

My husband has followed Dan Dan the Lobster Man on Facebook and we visited Porthleven purely to eat here. Sadly we were disappointed. The food was expensive and the crab sandwich was bland. We waited about 45 minutes for a bland crab sandwich and a pot of cockles. The cockles were tasty. Other people sitting near us had a sharing platter which looked good. Go and try it and make your own mind up.
