Village Fish & Chip Shop in North Devon

Unfortunaltely the chicken was just not fit to eat, it was completely over cooked and 1 fillet barely the size of coke bottle lid Chips were ok

Always a staple when visiting Woolacombe. Great fish and chips, friendly staff and never disappoints.

Fish and chips for 2 £14 nice crispy batter not too greasy we just had the small portions and that was enough for us

8 of us arrived for dinner in the evening, reasonable length of queue, dealt with quickly. Chips were good, gravy was good. Prices were reasonable for a busy beach town. No complaints here

It’s busy so you’ll have to queue but it’s worth it . Good food , good portions friendly staff . Small seating area so you can sit in if the weather isn’t good

Very good traditional chippy with good portion sizes and reasonable prices, you can also eat in if you like

Only went to this shop,as the other one was so busy,and we were starving,you have to go down stairs,and looked like mother and daughter, had to wait for the chips,the daughter had no idea what she was doing, it was a shambles, and the chips were horrible , don’t bother

Yet again great fish and chips, I am gluten free and they did not let me down I was able to have a fish with batter on it, which I find extra special not all fish and chip shops do that. Plus my dog love her sausage she had with her tea that night and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

We visited this chippy last week found it very expensive with every item individually priced. We ordered 1 ptn Oinion rings and chips 2 ptns chicken nuggets and chips and 1 ptn kebab meat and chips coming to £21 odd the chips were very sorry looking and ropy perhaps the worst I have ever eaten the kebab meat had a funny flavour. Kids did not eat their chicken nuggets and chips and my older daughter was repulsed by the Onion rings which looked like dog poop amongst a few ropy chips. Almost everything went straight in the bin and was totally unpalatable as it was about 3 miles away 6 miles by return I had no choice but to get fresh food from the campsite cafe. At Woolacombe bay Holiday parks. How this so called Village chip shop is still in business is beyond me totally disgusting. I can’t stress enough how repulsive the food is from this place. Sorry can’t call it food it’s inedible. If I can come back to this review later I will post a photo of the poor excuse for onion rings and chips. Feeling sick just writing this and remembering what these people are trying to pass off as food

Bought fish and chips and ate them overlooking the beach at Woolacombe before heading home. Very fresh fish, great batter and very large portions. Too may chips for me though! Only problem was having to hide them from the seagulls who were on the prowl waiting to pounce

The fish could have been a bit bigger but was very good. Chips were nice and they had a full range of pickles. Good choice for the vegetarian.

In fine weather great to get fish & chips find a seat overlooking lovely Woolacombe. Good Fish & Chips been serving holiday makers and locals for years.

Lovely fresh fish and good chips, decent portions. Varied menu. Very popular with locals and holiday makers

Waited a long time food not really good standard small portions for price . The staff were friendly , though

Young, friendly team of males, very keen to look after the owner's interests. Excellent freshly cooked fish & chips & also very generous.

Fairly big queue to get served and a long wait, but the food was very good. Could do with more staff at peak times methinks.

Great fish and chips and I they look after people well on gluten free diets and mushy peas was great.

Just perfect.... portion, taste & temperature... worth the tiny queue and wait. No Gluten free option as yet. But the sausage in batter Cod and Chips just lovely. X

Long queue due to being Bank Holiday, however, chirpy staff and very good fish & chips. Would visit again (hopefully with a shorter queue!)

we use this chippy every time we are in woolie , as it has the best chips ,biggest portions and best menu choice...even sneaked chips into the posh Woolacoombe Bay Hotel ...!!

This is the better of the two fish & chip shops in Woolacombe.You can even sit & eat inside if you wish.Everything is cooked fresh to order.Best chippy i have ever been to

Had fish and chips which were perfect. The veggie had a lovely cheese and onion pie. Good value for money

We were on the lookout for a local fish & chips and noticed this place, we were greeted by a very friendly gentleman who opened the doors in the restaurant so we could access easier with our pram down a side lane, all staff were very polite, they offered without us asking a chip for our little 1 year old to try (and she loved it).

Pensamos en probar este "fish and chips", ya que estaba fuera de la calle principal, y puede que aprecian el diseño personalizado. Vaya si nos equivocamos! Apertura tardía, pequeño tamaño de las porciones, el pescado que teníamos era no más minnow eglefino, stick. a los...

After a day on the beach we decided on Fish and Chips for dinner. There were 2 shops to choose from and as the queue for the other shop was astronomical we chose this one. The queue here was also long but not as bad. Woolacombe was very busy as it was bank holiday weekend but the order/cooking system that they use was less than efficient. They take 5 orders at a time, cook them, serve them, then take the next 5 orders. So basically you are waiting for fish to cook ALL the time. Whilst I understand that this method would reduce wastage during quieter times, it just led to ridiculous waiting times during this busy time. We waited over an hour in a queue of 20 people for Fish and Chips! I would have left but by the time I figured out how it worked, I'd already committed half an hour and my children were hungry!The worst bit is, I have had far better fish and chips!The staff were lovely but the system they use is ineffective at busy times! Cooking more fish ready to go would make much more sense!!Sorry but don't bother going!

Really good portions. Tasty fish. Freshly cooked chips. Nice and hot and stayed nice and hot as taken to eat on the beach.

Really tasty haddock and a rare option for a cone of chips - brilliant for me as I can never manage a full portion and hate to see good food go to waste. Good service and option to eat inside - we appreciated the high chair for the toddler in our party. We ate around 7pm on a summer Sunday evening and were pleased to find we didn't have long to wait before enjoying our fish supper.

We had really friendly service here, and the food was great, all freshly cooked for us. What's not to like!

Terribly run!! Bad service, staff eating, locals being served first, slow, unorganised, and painful to wait, it was that slow! The the fish and chips was good, tasty and not too greasy. Just lots of staff with not a clue what's going on!

There are 2 fish and chip shops in Woolacombe and as the other one had run out of chicken (my wife's allergic to fish) I gave this place a go. They lost my order (there was only me and one other customer in the place!) and eventually it arrived. Took it back to the lovely chalet we were staying in - only 90 seconds away. It was disgusting....the chicken was as tough as old boots and the chips - we were given about 10 each - well, I haven't the words to describe how awful they were. They formed a mush in the bottom of the tray and after trying one, mine went straight in the bin. I didn't bother going back to complain as it was obvious that the 2 young girls behind the counter (they looked about 12 or 13) were there under sufferance and weren't in the slightest bit interested. When the person who was doing the "cooking" (I think it was their mother) finally found my order and asked why it hadn't been passed through they both just shrugged.

Thought I would give the village chippy ago seems as the other fish and chip shop around the corner was very busy, ordered 3/4 of chicken eaten mouthful of it then realised the bottom half of the chicken was STILL FROZEN!!Went back in and I got the impression that the staff didn't really care about serving frozen chicken.Asked me if I would like another one NO THANKS.Then gave me a refund.Never again this place should be shut down!!!

Our first visit to woolacombe and the queue for the fish and chip shop was down the street, then my daughter spotted a sign for the village chippy so we went there and were pleased to see there was a smaller queue. There was quite a long wait for our food and at 6pm they announced they had run out of fish. When we got the food back to our caravan I realised that my portion of chips didn't even fill the bottom of the burger style box it was served in. the food was very greasy to. wouldn't go there again

Food cooked fresh to order - well worth a visit. There was a little wait but only to be expected with made to order and the staff were lovely

Bland tasting fish definitely the worst Haddock I had ever tied, chips were soggy. Not what I was expecting from a seaside resort chippy.

Great place to buy food and reasonably pricedKids boxed meals are great and good value. Staff very nice and helpful

Expectations were high. Fish and chips from a seaside resort - what could go wrong? The fish was bland, with soggy batter. The chips were soggy and tasteless. Note to self: ask the locals next time.

Whether picking up and taking back to the caravan or taking back to the beach, we continually visit the Village fish and Chip shop in Woolacombe. Always freshly cooked and tasty as ever served by the friendly staff!!

Friendly service, decent chips just what we needed after a nice walk to Puttsborough Sands and back.

Have to say the Fish and Chips we had this evening were pretty poor. Fish was small and batter was soggy and chips were not much better. Expected much more so close to the sea and would not recommend to anyone as surely has to be much better in the area.

Terrible fish and chips from here. So disappointed. The batter was not just soggy it was wet. Inedible. The chips too were flaccid. They should be ashamed of themselves for serving such awful food.

Total misrepresentation as food served claimed to be Thai, but was as far away from Thai as could possibly be! Watery, flavourless slop without a hint of Thai spices or flavours. Should stick to fish and chips before trading standards get involved for outlandish claims!

Always busy during the holiday season so expect to queue. However, the wait is worth it as the food is wonderful. No soggy fish batter either!

Lightly battered not oily and really enjoyed.Had to wait while it was cooked but that's only a good sign.Will be using again before we leave

Last night had fish & chips. Very busy but the queue went down well. Queueing inside plus lots of customers seemed to sit down around the tables & chairs. Some even eat their take away from there. (Not sure how that works).Best chips we've had in the area. Friendly staff.

The shop itself could do with some improving, but the food and the service was very good. We bought burgers and garlic bread to take back to our hotel and were not disappointed. We had to wait a short time for them to be cooked, but knowing that they are freshly cooked to order, made it worthwhile.

Had chips a few days and they were very nice, good size. Would recommend! Not too far from the beach, staff friendly.

Went here as we love Thai food, and they were offering a couple of different Thai curries - Penang and Red Curry. Both were shockingly poor! Having been to Thailand several times, I know what both of these dishes should roughly taste like! What we got was a world away from anything remotely Thai! Pork Penang was watery with virtually no sauce, but loads and loads of tinned pineapple! Just plain wrong! The red curry was equally disappointing... We left both after a couple of mouthfuls!They should stick to fish and chips and a law should be passed to stop people like this from dishing up crud like that!

Freshly cooked cod with chips to take away and sit on the sea front taking in the view and fresh air.

Made our biannual visit for 2 large cod and chips but this time took them back to the caravan so we could have some drinks on the decking. Very tasty good quality fish cooked just right with sufficient chips too. I always pick up a bottle of vinegar from here as Sarsons just doesn't do it any more!!

We had passed this chippy on the way to the beach and it looked really promising with its advertisement of line caught fish in the Faroe Islands so we planned to go later in the week which we did! We got there for half five when it opened , all had cod and chips and a kids meal, had to wait for the food to be cooked which we didn't mind as knew it would be fresh. We took them back to our caravan and can honestly say they were the worst fish and chips I have ever had, none of us finished them. The chips were a little burnt and tasted like old fat had been used and the fish was a very small portion with soggy batter! When I cut into the fish I expected white chunky fish but it was a funny grey colour! Never ate it! Complete waste of money and very disappointing! Would not eat there again!!!

These are quite honestly, the best fish and chips in the UK. I have sampled many others, but none have stood up to this one. Especially bearing in mind our local one at home has won international awards.Admittedly, I am sure the location and eating on the beach contribute strongly to the positive reviews, but this place is genuinely amazing. It is on the expensive side, but worth it.

Headed here for some fish and chips and as pulled on as it's the only place in Woolacombe that do kebab, so my don was happy!!Food was fine without being amazing but plenty of it and nice staff

good fish & chips, fresh, hot. Not expensive and lady there very nice.... Bought sausage for the dog she wrapped it up separately so it wouldn't get salt on it lol...great to walk to beach with

Such a shame, have used this place for past 8 years and found the food great. This year however the fish and chips were very dry. Couldn't finish it I'm afraid

The fish from here is excellent, a good large size and good quality! A good amount of fish and chips when we got ours, a little expensive, but worth it!

traditional chippy underground and hidden at end of row of shops.everything cooked fresh and lower prices than others in woolacombe

food was OK, but did not reflect the area's cache. Was just living off the fact that they were in an area frequented by individuals. A popular holiday destination for the beach, not the food

This is the chippy in South Street. Big portion of cod. Lovely chips.Only veggie option was veggie burger which was ok. They did say next they hope to expand the veggie menu. We will return

We had a lovely fish and chips from here, we asked for our Cod lightly battered which wasn't a problem and we never waited long either, the only thing was that it had the appearance of being run by some weird women's collective and the woman on the till looked and sounded like she'd been in The Jube all day.....

Expecting a queue on a Saturday evening, but 40 mins is just ridiculous. 10 minutes to place your order, but no mention that it'll take a further 30 minutes to cook, and very frustrating when people are given their food out of turn. To add insult, the fish was tasteless. We won't be returning as there is a much better alternative nearby.
