Back in the South Hams again after wayyy too long a break. Our plans changed a bit and with some time to relax on the pebble beach at Slapton Ley/Torcross we decided to eat at the Boathouse as my mate doesn’t like to overthink things and stray from his comfort zone. I had Cod and Chips my mate had a GF fishcake and his mate had sausage and chips. Just saw a review saying the fish was poor quality and the chips were frozen. Don’t be afraid. Firstly the chips were frozen as they don’t have a range or a rumbler to do Chippy chips. And it’s a cafe, not a chippy. However any initial disappointment was allayed by the fact that 1/there were loads of chips and 2/they were fried to perfection - not a dud chip in the tray. I seasoned them with Steers seasoned chip salt. Yum. Now onto the fish - it was massive, thick and fresh. Perfectly fried too. Some of the best cod I’ve had recently. As good as the Pisces Fish Bar (the benchmark for delicious fresh cod). The batter was just a bit greasy but was nice and thin and stayed crisp till the end. Bob raved about his fishcake so i guess it was good and also praised the chips. We were very well fed and didn’t feel heavy after the meal. Always a good sign. It wasn’t terribly cheap. But on balance it’s a great meal to sit on the beach and eat. The pub next door does food but is a bit more expensive. Would I return? Yes for sure. Support your local food joints.

A lovely cafe right on the seafront with excellent outdoor seating. The place is dog friendly inside and out also selling doggie ice cream. There is a decent selection on the menus from a light coffee and cake to more substantial meals. As its licensed alcohol is also available. Access is wheelchair and buggy compatible, there is car parking nearby on the opposite side of a fast but not too busy (at least off season) main road. We enjoyed a lovely coffee and ice cream sat outside on the walkway between the cafe and the sea in beautiful weather. Takeaway fish and chips is also available if you want to eat and stroll. Based on my visit I would certainly recommend a visit. A great place in good weather to lose some relaxing hours with the pebble beach right next to you.

Fish and chips from a place that couldn't be closer to the sea without getting wet feet, high hopes. Even higher hopes when you realise it's £11.50 for a cod and chips. Unfortunately expectations aren't met, not even close. Wildly over priced for something lower quality than I can get in a land locked county back home for £6. The kind of chips I would expect from a Tesco or hospital café. The only thing hand cut about them is the freezer bag. Gets two stars because at least the fish wasn't terrible. Would be possibly acceptable a £3 school meal, forget £11.50.

40 minutes waiting time, we been forgotten. But no one even apologise . The answer was we made a mistake, and so you need to wait another 10 minutes. For the price of the good take away restaurant you get cheap service. Then instead beef burger it was a bean burger. One more mistake, my boy has this and I don't want to go and see the staff again for one more complaint. So we didn't get what we paid for. Instead of lemon is vinegar. Not recommended, you will have a meal upset.
