Prospect Plaice — Restaurant in East Devon

I’ll mention the price first as it the first thing you see. Yeah it’s a little pricey but you’re at the coast and have to expect premium rates for these locations, just let me add it was worth every penny. The service was spot on from placing the order to bringing our food to the table the staff were very friendly. The seating area upstairs was nice and we managed to get by the window which was a bonus on a hot day plus take in the busy vibe of the entrance to Sidmouth high st. Now the important bit, the food! Cod and chips for my partner £12.95, 2 jumbo sausage in batter and chips with salad for me £9.95 with a side of curry sauce £1.50. The chips were exactly what you want, I nice chunky chip that wasn’t greasy, the perfect chip. The sausage and cod were both amazing! Batter was fresh and fluffy, no grease what so ever. ‘Best cod ever’ my partner said. The curry sauce was a fair size portion for the price with a fruity raisin flavour. All the condiments you’d want on the table including bottles of ketchup, brown sauce and Mayo none of these little sachets. I would definitely recommend a visit when your in Sidmouth, I think it will be our go to chippy when we’re...

Waited for what seemed like ages for a member of staff to come to the front counter and then proceeded to be seated upstairs in the 'eat-in' section. Very drab/tired looking tables/chairs/decor....... We were a large family party and ordered the traditional cod & chips, chicken nuggets & chips and curry sauce with accompanying drinks of water and apple juice cartons....... Drinks were very expensive....a small carton of apple juice £2.50 as was the bottle of water..... The food........well it was pretty bland both in taste and presentation.....the chips were definitely pre-cut frozen oven type and the fish was like a piece of cod from a bulk buy frozen cod range..... The portion sizes varied with one plate having literally a handful of chips on it! When we requested additional chips we were asked to produce proof that the chip portion was inadequate, which we did and the young lady reluctantly had to agree and provided further chips! Overall not a very good experience, way too overpriced food with a poor service, would not recommend.......I had to provide a star to...

We had such a lovely experience at Prospect Fish & Chips in Sidmouth. We arrived during the afternoon break when most restaurants were closed, and we were tired, hungry, and a bit desperate to find something open. Thankfully, we found this place – and what a pleasant surprise!

We were a group of four, with a stroller and a sleeping toddler, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder. They checked on us several times to see if we needed anything, and were genuinely friendly and welcoming.

The food was excellent – crispy chips, perfectly cooked fish, and we also had a burger that was absolutely delicious. The meat was beautifully seasoned and juicy. We even asked for a good beer and were not disappointed.

What really stood out was the warm and thoughtful service. The staff came by twice to ask if everything was okay, which made us feel truly looked after.

I was honestly surprised to see that this place doesn’t have higher reviews – we were genuinely impressed and very happy with the whole experience. We’re giving it five stars without hesitation. Highly...
