Visited for the first time tonight.. had the grilled cod and chips on the downs. Food was lovely chips fresh and grilled cod was to perfection no heavy grease or stodge just fresh food.. will return!

You cannot fault this place. The fish etc is cooked to order and well worth waiting for - the queues in the holiday season can mean a bit of a wait. Takeaway Prices are comparable with other shops. The restaurant is quite a bit more but the portions are VERY large and my family tend to waste a lot

Hi ,
The very best ( Place ) to have fish and chips
Top marks also for the STAFF, we try and go as often as possible, the other good thing is a car park to the side of the Restaurant, what more could you want,
Well done Hanbury's Richard Smith Torquay.

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 ...!!
100% recommended..!!!
Lots of Love & Appreciation

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
