Reviews Summary

Paignton Pier Chippy Co. is celebrated for its high-quality, MSC-certified fish and chips, often praised for being freshly cooked and delicious, especially when enjoyed with a view. While many highlight the great taste and friendly service, some diners have noted inconsistencies in chip quality and found the prices a bit high for the portion size. It's a popular spot for both locals and tourists seeking a classic seaside chippy experience, with a notable offering of gluten-free options.

"The chips here were some of the best I have ever eaten. They were piping hot, crisp, fluffy and a generous size portion. I would make a beeline for this shop over any other chip shop I have ever been too."

"A lovely little restaurant on the pier, fabulous views looking across towards Brixham and out to sea. Food quality was excellent, a little surprised that there were no pies, but the fish was superbly cooked. Service was first rate and very friendly. A very enjoyable meal."

John Ernest McGeorge-Oanta

"Had the mini cod and chips. The fish had nice flakes, but the batter was a bit thick. The chips were really dry and tasted like they came out of a packet, not fresh potatos. The price would be ok if the quality was good"

4 Best Fish and Chip Shops in South Devon

Situated on Paignton Pier, this fish and chip shop really is a classic. It is the only traditional fish and chip shop and restaurant on the seafront and a perfect example of the British staple done right!. Here, all the fish is caught nearby by a trawler they know by name, and the potatoes are also grown by a known farm.
