Having played a round of golf at the fabulous Saunton Golf Club and breathed in the sea air, there is only one thing that you could have for your evening meal, fish and chips. By reputation we had to go to Squires in Braunton, and we weren't disappointed. You have the choice of takeaway or sitting in the restaurant, we chose the latter. We were welcomed and shown to our table. Although the menu had a wide range of options we all ordered 'Our award winning cod & chips'. This comes with a choice of sides; mushy peas, curry sauce, beans or garden peas. You also get the choice of Coffee or Tea. The meal was cooked to perfection. The cod was a succulent thick fillet of fish with a light crisp batter (None of that stoggy, fat soaked stuff). The chips had a crisp outer layer and fluffy potato centre. You can certainly understand why they are award winning. The staff were polite, attentive and happy to engage in conversation, whilst still being efficient with service. You will have to go many a mile to try and find a better cod & chips anywhere in the Country. You should visit Devon just to try the cod and chips at Squires.

Had heard great things about Squires and was looking forward to trying however disappointingly I have to say it was the least favourite meal of the week on our stay in Devon. The meal was extremely dry for a start, the batter was crisp and the fish was tasty but there was not much grease to it. Some people may like this but to me, a proper chippy has to have some moisture. The chips were extremely dry and not soft and fluffy like proper chippy chips. Secondly, unfortunately we found two hairs in our food. If it was just the one I could kinda pass it as a one off but two..not really acceptable. One hair was found in the butter, the other was found in the curry sauce! So overall our visit to Squires was very underwhelming and the hairs were quite the put off. I wouldn’t return.

Squires is a decent fish’n’chips which has both a takeaway and sit in restaurant. It has a deservedly good reputation. The service is quick and food pretty decent, although not the best that I have had. The reason I gave it four stars rather than five is that: 1. It is probably one the most expensive fish’n’chip shops I have been to. 2. It’s located opposite a main road on a high street so lacks nice views. It’s quite far from the beach so doesn’t have the appeal of other fish’n’chip shops where you can get a takeaway to eat on the beach or watching the sea.

We turned up without a booking. Myself, partner and daughter. Unfortunately the only place they had was right next to the kitchen. It was OK though. Seats weren't as comfortable as not upright and being 32 weeks pregnant at the time, I could have done with more support. The service however was lovely, they did apologise for the table. The food was delicious. The curry sauce was like a chicken curry sauce. Our daughter loved the sausage and chips and you get a big portion for your money. You can also get free refills on the chips.

It looks like a stylish upmarket restaurant, and there’s potential, but I found the menu pedestrian. Usual fish and chips fare, cod, salmon but no sea bass or other choice of fish dish. If you’re not into fish, there’s burgers plus vegetarian and vegan choice. My wine glass still wet straight out the washer, not impressed. By the looks of other guest plates, large portions. I had the vegetarian burger, (because I can have cod and salmon at home), which was not bad. A nice place as such but not one I’d return to again.

Wow. What a find. We were told (TOLD!) by a local parent we met in a soft play centre to come here and we were not disappointed! Brilliant service from door to table and the food was superb. The fish is very fresh and the portions are very good. Table service and drinks were timely and the requests we had during the meal were dealt with swiftly and perfectly. A great place to have proper sit down fish and chips and there’s even a takeaway part to the business next door. If you’re in the area then this is a must!
