CLICK & COLLECT (PRE-ORDER ONLINE)

Easter 2022 

Latest news

Takeaway
We recommend you pre-order (click the pre-order button above) during peak times as we are extremely busy. We have three pans, when they're at capacity, they're at capacity. Pre-ordering helps us to get your food to you as quickly as possible. 

We cook to order, which we believe gives a better result than pre-cooking. Please check your order before you leave so that any mistakes can be rectified. 

How to order
  • **Order online** (click & collect) in advance (any time) and choose an available collection slot. 
  • This is the only way to guarantee a collection time! 
  • If no collection slots show, we're fully booked.
  • Online products may differ from those offered at the shop. 
  • We have increased the number of available slots in order to minimise walk-ins.

If you do not pre-order: walk-ins and telephone orders will be allocated a time slot, as all food is cooked to order. There may be a delay if you haven’t pre-ordered online (see above). Buzzers have been introduced so you can wait safely while your food is being cooked. When your food is ready to collect the buzzer will sound & flash.

Restaurant
Now open Tuesday-Saturday 12-2 and 5-8. We look forward to welcoming you back safely. 

Please note
We are unable to accept orders by text, email or social media. Please rest assured that we will continue to trade in a Covid-safe and responsible manner.

Thinking outside the box! 

It seems to us that the challenges facing the UK Fish & Chip shop industry pale into insignificance when considering the plight of the Ukrainian people, however we can’t ignore the knock-on effects of this conflict.

With gas prices set to increase dramatically, utilities are under even more supply and price pressures as Russian gas gets turned off. The price of food is another huge concern - I for one didn’t realise just how much we rely on both Russia and the Ukraine for our food.

We learnt last Friday that the price of Cod had increased 20% overnight. It is estimated that 60% of our Cod and Haddock is landed by Russian vessels and with these vessels banned from UK docks and fish processing plants boycotting their fish the supply of the UK’s favourite battered fish looks worrying.

We can’t blame the Russians for all the increase costs, but those resulting from the conflict are in addition to those already faced by the industry.

There is no doubt that we must do something!
 
So, what are we going to do?
We will not sell Russian-caught Cod!  Our Cod is Norwegian and is responsibly and sustainably caught, our Haddock is landed at Brixham and our Plaice is also sourced and landed locally.

In an attempt to minimise price increases, we are in the process of purchasing a substantial amount of Cod, before the price increase even further. In addition to this we are currently talking to John at Devon Quality Fish (our local fish merchant) about Cod alternatives of which there are several. 

We hope to be offering locally caught fish at a similar price as is currently charged for Cod soon. Any such fish will be in addition to Cod and will be clearly advertised so customers know what fish is available.
​
We have forgotten the varieties of white fish available to use in the UK and if we can buy locally, support our local fishing industry, and minimise the need to increase prices then we can make the best of a terrible situation.
