Four South West fish and chip restaurants in UKβs top 10 ππ
The Fry Awards have revealed their latest rankings for fish and chip restaurants across the UK and four South West venues are in the national top ten!
The list covers the whole UK and is based on anonymous judging carried out over several months.
Judges assess food quality, cleanliness, staff knowledge, consistency and value.
Only venues scoring at least 96 percent are recognised, making inclusion a strong marker of long-term standards rather than a one-off good review.
The South West restaurants in the UK top 10 β
π Harbour Lights, Falmouth (Cornwall)

Located close to Falmouthβs harbour, Harbour Lights has a takeaway kiosk and serves traditional and vegetarian fish and chips (made with tofu!). I also once got a battered Creme Egg from here! I love getting fish and chips and going to The Front bar nearby to eat them (they allow you to bring food in).
π½οΈ Pier Point Bar and Restaurant, Torquay (Devon)
Set directly on the seafront, Pier Point has become a well-established name in Torquay, both for its restaurant and takeaway. Itβs not somewhere Iβve visited personally, but Iβll be sure to look out for it next time Iβm in Torquay!
π Seasmiths Fish and Chips in Town, Wadebridge, Cornwall
This renovated chippie is now a swanky restaurant just moments from the Camel Trail. They serve sustainably-caught cod, haddock and hake alongside sausages and veggie options!
