Fish & Chips in North Devon

You can’t take a trip to the coast without indulging in a spot of fish and chips, especially when you are surrounded by coastline and hundreds of independent fish and chip restaurants offering you freshly caught fish and locally produced potatoes.

Fish and chips might have originated in the East End of London, but I think we can all agree that there is nothing quite like the smell of sea air while you’re queuing for your portion of chips, there is something very special about fighting off sea gulls and sitting on the beach while you cover your chips in your condiment of choice. Luckily, in North Devon you have your choice of sit down restaurants offering fish and chips, take aways and small pop up counters on the sea front to take your fancy.

If you’re in Barnstaple and you’re looking for a fish supper, don’t miss out on sampling something from the UK’s number one fish and chip restaurant 2018! The Pelican won the prestigious award earlier this year and if that’s not enough to tempt you, they also have a Taste of the West Gold Award and they pride themselves in using fresh, local produce. Sit in and take the weight off while you enjoy your dinner or take away and eat al fresco – the choice is yours!

Another of North Devon’s best fish and chip restaurants is Squires, they too are award-winning and have a recommendation from celebrity chef, Rick Stein. Be sure to pop in and see why if you’re passing through Braunton.

Visitors to North Devon will be amazed by the diverse natural larder, you’ll have locally grown potatoes, none of this canned peas and carrots nonsense and of course, Lundy lobsters and fresh line caught fish. The food and drink scene here is an exciting one to investigate, you’re in for a gastronomic treat, whatever you decide to try and wherever you are, you can be sure to find the perfect place to dull your hunger!
