Very nice food. Always very nice fresh fish and chips to take away. Restaurant very nice although service very slow on last visit. Used to regularly get takeaway from here until we moved to opposite side of bay.

Excellent food you will not be disappointed however if you are looking for a cheap and cheerful meal this is not the usual chippy. Prices are above average, 2 fish and chips will not leave you much change out of £16 and that's taking away
James Gibbs6/04/2019
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

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

£9,00 for fish and chips is way over priced! I was expecting them to taste amazing for that price. But I found it all quite bland overrated...read more

First visit here and we will certainly be returning. We enjoyed the weekday lunchtime deal (Mon-Thurs) small cod and chips, bread & butter and a drink. Absolutely delicious cod & chips, with curry sauce and more than enough to make us feel full. Fresh bakery bread & proper butter and a delicious cup of tea (coffee or soft drink). Excellent value for money at £8.95 pp. Staff were excellent and the restaurant decor is fabulous. Can't wait to return.read more

This is the first time I'd been to Hanbury 's on the recommendation of a friend.

We were straight in and served pretty damn quick with great food.

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
