Pelican Fish and Chips in Barnstaple has garnered mixed reviews, showcasing a blend of culinary highs and lows. Diners often praise the friendly service and generous portions, particularly enjoying the quality of the fish. However, some customers have been disappointed by inconsistent menu offerings, particularly regarding gluten-free options and food quality. While many rave about the stellar fish and chips, others report lackluster experiences with undercooked dishes and unresponsive management. Despite these inconsistencies, the restaurant remains a popular takeaway, generating excitement among food lovers who appreciate its bustling atmosphere and potential for delightful dining. Reservations are recommended to secure a table.

I bought a family takeover to collect their website, we brought it to home and realized objects missing, I called them to make them aware that the manager I can either return to collect the missing items or they will. my details and give them to me for free at my next visit, I felt that this was not satisfactory, I had already paid for the items so that they would not be free, no offer of a refund. the manager was extremely rude and has just lost a loyal customer! it's a shame how eating is impeccable.

8 of us went to a meal, I am gluten-free. had a quick look at the menu online and stupid thought oh, that will be in order, sink ei and chips is usually a safe bet. I asked if it was in order and told by an abrupt waiter that it was not gluten-free. there were gluten-free options, but nothing special. I was for grilled cod and salad. very disappointed was the fish covered with pfeffer, which I did not like and the salat leaves were bitter. the options were quite something and rice or something and salad. even my local chippie in south moton makes gluten-free cod and gluten-free chips, so it is not as if it were impossible. I just want to eat things that look like everyone else. to be fair, all the others enjoyed their fish and chips, but I won't be back.

Battered salmon and chips amazing fish curry gluten-free meal pity nans not gluten-free but very good cod fish dinner amazing vegan curry very good wish we near all i would say is please look your vegateran gluten free options

Had a fish n chips supper with the family on Friday, and I'd recommend The Pelican any day! Their service was outstanding, the whole place was very clean, well run and with super bathrooms. There's also a disabled/mother and baby toilet on the ground floor. I chose Cod and Chips with mushy peas, and the batter was really tasty and light with just the right amount of crunch to it. Next time I'm in North Devon I'm definitely coming back for more! The grandchildren had generous portions but they enjoyed it so much they finished the lot.

We live nearby and whenever we have visitors we bring them here. Never disappointed. We also eat here every few weeks and recently had a special birthday family event here. Fifteen of us made to feel special. Fish is so fresh, scampi too. Can't fault anything.
