Always the best Fish and chips in the South West served by a fabulous and very friendly efficient team. Great value for money not the cheapest but definitely the best!

Great fish and chips. Also have won awards for best fish and chips of the year for 3 years. Quick service too and they have a dine in option also.

We usually have fish and chips or just chips from here quite regularly but this week we bought a regular portion of... chips for £3.25 and I know prices have gone up and I understand this but I still think that as a customer you expect good value and it would be a complete exaggeration for me to say there were only six chips in the box but it was a very small mean portion. We will probably go to Drakes around the corner next time.read more

It was so lovely to find somewhere that did gluten free fish, but we found out, just by chance this weekend, that they... stopped gluten free at the end of summer 2022. I wondered why my 11 year old daughter with Coeliac Disease has been so poorly over the past 6 months and had to have her medication upped. Now I know...... she's been glutened countless times!read more

Can't fault the food. However, after my Mum's order was 15mins late and she phoned, after telling the man on the phone... numerous times her order was due at 5.45 and it was 15 mins late, he blatantly wasn't listening to her, he then said oh is it 6oclock which my mum thought he meant that was the actually time, so she said yes, and was replied to with, oh it's only a minute late we can't get it spot on, and then put the phone down on her. Rude to say the least.read more

I finally feel normal! Thank you for providing a gluten free option, being coeliac means takeaways and eating out is a... minefield and sometimes not worth the hassle! Being gluten free isn’t a choice for me. I used delivery and it arrived hot and tasty. Just the right amount of batter and the chips were Devine! THANK YOUread more

I recommend not charging someone £22 for 2 portions of scampi and chips, having a delivery driver that cannot work out... that number 27 comes between 25 and 29 on the house numbers, so not only was our food cold but, omg I've never seen such disgusting food in my life, the chips were black... I will be very happy to share these photos on your page. it was vile, cold and daylight robbery charging that price, it was bad enough just trying to place an order with such incompetent staff. First class food it was not, daylight robbery it was, I would never recommend this place to my worst enemy... wish I could cancel the payment, it wasn't worth half the price you charged, I may as well have thrown my £22 straight in the bin!!!!!!!!!!!read more

Sadly this evenings visit is the 3rd time in a row the chips have been below par (only just warm and therefore edible).... Had I opened them there (and not down on Meadfoot Beach as it was a lovely eve) I would have returned them, which is something I have only ever done twice before (2 separate venues). Such a shame juxtapose previous claims to "only use ground nut oil and regularly filter for better flavour and taste" etc. The meal was saved by the freshly cooked scampi & chicken goujons.
All 3 are the only 3 visits over the last 8 weeks all timed not long after 19:00.read more

Just wanted to express our LOVE & APPRECIATION for this FANTASTIC Fish & Chip restaurant.
The fish and chips were... SIMPLY DEVINE DARLING..!!
They are the best fish and chips we have eaten in the UK ..!!
The decor was quirky and authentic to the brand we really appreciated all the attention to detail in this place. It is a labour of LOVE and it shines through ..!!
The staff Abi and Caitlin were professional and attentive. They are a real asset to this place. They were so helpful ..!!
We LOVE the fact the fish is cooked in gluten free batter ..!!
We also LOVE the unlimited chips supply when ordering fish with your meal what a NICE touch ..!!
So if you want to eat the best fish and chips of your life then it’s a no brainier ...!!

Hanbury’s is Babbacombe institution. whenever we are down visiting the family we always stop off. Lately we have been... having grilled fish and a jacket a pleasant change to chips n batter. You can have a glass of their own beer and a selection of locally made ice cream to finish.

Well we went to 3 restaurants on Babbacombe and none were serving food but we eventually found Hanburys. They weren't... open until 45 minutes after we arrived but because it was raining outside the manager let us in and gave Lylyka a colouring book so she was entertained and we were out of the rain! Lovely people! The food was incredible. Lewis had a trio of fish, Lylyka chose sausage, jacket potato and beans and I ordered what is described as 2 local sausages with mash and onion gravy! 2 sausages the size of 2 arms arrived!!!!!! Regretted buying Lylyka her first proper coke as a treat rather than sugar free because my God did she go hyper lol. She chose unicorn ice cream for pud. I had Kenyan coffee ice cream and captain Morgan's rum and raisin ice cream. Lewis had the same as me but added a scoop of honeycomb ice cream too! Amazing staff too!!! P.s the amaretto coffee was to die for!read more

We stumbled across Hamburys on our recent visit to Babbacombe from Cornwall. The staff were fantastic and great with... our girls, they had activity packs and crayons as soon as we arrived, after we finished our amazing food Janet showed the girls the church door table with shells under the glass. Janet also took the time to tell us about certain items in the restaurant, about its history and gave us postcards with the beautiful paintings by Liz Jones which will be framed and put on my front room wall. We can’t wait to return again & hopefully bring other family members to see the treasures in the restaurant and eat the best fish & chips we ever had! Thank you!read more

So tried you guys tonight for the first time despite living in Torquay for ages! Lol
It was fairly busy &... unfortunately our order ticket was lost 🙁 however staff were genuinely apologetic & offered either full refund with food wich would be ready in 5 mins or just a refund. We had waited quietly for a while thinking it was just busy so were pretty hungry so of course we opted to get the refund & the food wich was a very kind gesture from the staff/manager who then topped that by upping our original order of medium cod & haddock to both large pieces of fish! Again a great apology for misplacing our order. And of course it was very yummy! Thank you for sorting it out so well & for the lovely food. We will be back & maybe bring a highlighter for our ticket lol only kidding I know it won't happen again. 😀 #thesethingshappenread more

Had better fish and chips but would definitely go back for the squid.
