A fish and chip restaurant on Teignmouth seafront with a 50-seat dining room and a steady reputation for fresh cod and haddock - reviewers regularly call it the best in town. It's licensed and open seven days, with the option to eat in or take a parcel down to the beach a few steps away and eat looking out at the sea.

The menu goes beyond the classic battered fish to burgers, sausages, chicken and pies, with mushy peas and curry sauce as the standard sides and vegetarian options available too. It's a straightforward, no-frills operation rather than a dressed-up dining experience, which is exactly what the seafront location calls for - quick, fresh, reliably good fish and chips, with a full drinks list if you're staying to eat in.
