Food Quality
Pros:
"Food itself is delicious."
"The recommended salmon and prawns was good but not cooked as well as the cod."
"Possibly the best Fish and Chip Restaurant..."
"Best fish & chips I have had in a long time."
"The Fish was very good with a nice crispy light batter, and the chips were crisp and light brown."
"Everything was perfect. Crispy chips, nothing greasy at all, beautiful fresh flaky cod perfectly cooked."
"Their fish tasted very fresh and the batter was done right!"
Cons:
"However the chips were barely vinegared or salted at all."
"In the end turned out the food was really overcooked, just turned to mush (vegy pie) and the chicken was really chewy (chicken Thai green curry)."
"The fish was dry and tough, it had clearly been sitting out for a while."
"The batter was soggy and chewy."
"They have put the prices up and reduced the portions at the same time. Very off putting."
"The fish was green all over!!"
"The batter on the fish was the worst batter I've ever seen."
Service

"The staff have high standards of what they serve."
"Staff were friendly and efficient."
"Staff helpful and friendly."
"Great restaurant. Service was brilliant, staff are lovely."
"The staff were polite, attentive and happy to engage in conversation."
"All with polite friendly service."
"Service was prompt and cheerful."
Cons:
"Don't expect to be seated quickly if you are a large group we waited about an hour."
"Tried phoning 5 times and noone ever answered the phone."
"Restaurant refused to take booking and the two staff (manager and her mum) weren't communicating so were taking each others tables with different groups."
"Service was slow, though not busy."
"To add insult to injury a waitress came to clear the table whilst I was still eating (the other 3 had 15 minutes start) and tried to take my plate along with the others."
"Unfortunately the owner was in a hurry to rush us out as there was a large queue waiting to be seated."
"Waitresses were rushed off their feet and not very attentive, took 25 mins to come take the first order after seating us."
Value
Pros:
"The food is excellent and good portions while being good value for money."
"Generous portions, slightly more expensive than I'm accustomed to paying but everything is going up."
"Beautiful award winning fish and chips, very clean tasting and not greasy."
"Amazing price too, cheapest meal you'll have in the area by far, and the best!"
"The price is inexpensive."
"Good portions while being good value for money."
"Whatever the size of your budget you will find good value."
Cons:
"I don’t know how this place is still running it is absolutely ridiculous and disgusting!"
"Dissapointed! Visited today at 3pm, been coming squires for years and look forward to it as a treat ordered 2 large cod and chips and a small cod and chips £25, we got back to Woolacombe to eat and were bitterly disappointed dry old chips some almost burnt and overdone fish we were shocked as squires is one of best around if we hadn't have got back to eat I would returned them, I really hope this was a one off and we were unlucky, not good at all."
"Not recommended and over priced for what you do get."
"Also, it was very expensive for 2 small fish and chips. Dread to think what a large costs!"
"Very disappointed. Drove past the place loads a times and it looks really nice from the outside. I went today. We had 3 large bags of chips so we can have chip butties to share between 5 people. The tray of chips when we opened them at the caravan was small enough to feed 1 child. Never gonna return to this chippy ever."
"Would not recommend and will definitely not be returning."
"Also we ordered for collection and it wasn't ready until 20 mins after our pickup time."
