"My wife and I moved to Cornwall 10 years ago. We have tried fish and chips all over north Cornwall and all of the top chefs restaurants and take aways. None of which come close to Bell Lane Fryer. Friendly staff, value for money and convenient. We always have Haddock and chips for one and that is plenty for two. Recommended."
