This review focuses only on the poor customer service I experienced at this restaurant. Despite being a regular customer and enjoying the delicious fish and chips, I was disappointed with the service. The young girl working there today seemed unhappy to take my order, didn't apologize, and practically threw it back at me. When I asked for lemon with my order, she rudely insisted that it was already included, even though it wasn't. Luckily, her friendly colleague was more than willing to assist me. I recommend that they not work there if they are going to have a rude attitude towards customers, and should be given alternative tasks.
After a afternoon on the beach of exmouth for fish and chips on the way back to exeter. amazing fish and chips, all freshly cooked to order. between us we had scattered cod, scattered monks and grilled meeresbass, all with chips. fantastic!. drinks from the box next door and then sitting on the grass. will definitely be back.
I ordered a crab sandwich and chips expecting fresh unsliced wholemeal bread. However, I was disappointed to receive supermarket sliced bread and a minimal amount of crab. The crab tasted inferior and was very disappointing. I even found three bits of shell in my mouth. Overall, it was the worst crab sandwich I've ever had. I would not go back again.
During our visit to Westpoint to get our Covid jab, we decided to stop at The Fish Shed for lunch in our car. It was a great decision! The battered and grilled fish were both generously portioned and very tasty, and the chips were also delicious. We can't wait to visit again next time we have a vaccination appointment!
I was dubious to go here after the reviews. However very friendly staff, especially as it was so busy. We ordered grilled lemon sloe chips monk fish chips and x kids cod and chips and apple juices. It was...a half hour wait, but that’s to be expected with maybe fewer staff and the business of lockdown, prove a little on the dear side but when you taste it you understand why. Unbelievably fresh and perfect chips. I’d rather pay a bit more to have this kind of quality! Beautifully cooked fish and amazing chips. The home made tar tar sauce is insane! I would highly recommend visiting this little gem. Friendly close knit staff with amazing fish and chips... would not go anywhere else!
