Definitely the best cod and chips that we have for a long time. Able to eat in the adjacent pub with a great real ale. Will be coming at least twice to the Royal Plaice next year when we visit again. Very good value. Thoroughly recommend.

Wow! Best fish and chips I've ever had (and I've had a lot 😀). Beautifully crispy/ not greasy. The large cod was massive. 2 minutes walk and sat overlooking the estuary in the sunshine..perfect!

Not great across the board to be honest. The fish was dry and rubbery and the batter had lost its crunch. The chips were fine but nothing to write home about. My sister had a battered sausage which was pretty old and cold as well. Nobody in my group got sick so it meets those standards, but I wouldn't go here unless you haven't got any other options.

Amazing Haddock and Chips. Great fresh fish and a light, tempura style batter. Fantastic. Honestly the best I can remember.

Definitely the best fish and chips we have ever had, everything was perfect and you could tell they had been cooked in dripping. Also a bonus that you can have your fish and chips with a pint at the pub opposite.
