By far the best fish and chips we have ever had. This was definitely the highlight of our holiday they certainly cheered up a very wet and dreary day.

Lovely fish and chips, freshly cooked, well worth the couple of minutes wait. Huge piece of fish, lovely and chunky. Tasty chips. Friendly staff....what more could you want?

Low on atmosphere only because we were only ones in due to time we went. Friendly service. Clean. Would definitely come again. Beautiful.

The first night we arrived at the seaside we had to have fish and chips. Are we glad we plumped for the Ifracombe Fryer. The service was good, very attentive and friendly, and the food was excellent and such good value. So good we went back on our last night too!

The service here is attentive and pleasant and the speed of food is excellent as our meals arrived in pretty good order despite it being busy. And what a meal. The haddock was... More
