Great award winning fish & chips served here, with a short walk to the coast for some great views. The opening hours are a short, especially during lunch times, so be sure to check the opening times. There is a take-away shop around the back, and a sit-down restaurant at the front. Prices are decent and there is plenty on offer on the menu.

The fish and chips are excellent. The shop is nicely decorated with plenty of seaside decorations. The staff are in uniforms and the packaging the food comes in for a takeaway is very good. My only slight complaint is I was given a box for my chips and a box for my fish. I'd much prefer to have it all together in one box.

Lovely staff and food. We had take away and because we got t one of there carriers to keep it warm it was still hot when we got back to where we were staying 20 mins away. Lovely last holiday meal before heading home tomorrow. Thanks so much

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.
Janet and her crew will look after you.read more

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

Popped into Hanbury’s last night on recommendation, whilst on holiday in Devon.
What can I say, amazing food,... atmosphere and staff. Dining with a GF husband and fussy child always tricky but there was something for everyone! Tried their craft beer too, amazing, even bought 6 home 😜 special shout out to Janet, what a star, who clearly loves her job and went above and beyond to provide everyone with an amazing dining experience. Thank you 😊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

Prawn cocktail £6 for frozen tasteless prawns, took 20 minutes to bring advertised bread by which time we had finished... the prawn cocktail. They advertised gluten free, only thing on offer was plain steamed fish and a jacket potato. Cola was flat, only apology was a basket of chips which were not home made- which I expected for the price. You charg d us twice for the drinks.. which we only discovered after getting home. Batter was tasteless and all air. A very expensive mediocre dinner out. Best bit was the icecream. Not what I would call a "prize winning fish and chip shop" sort it out or you will lose your award �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
