Had takeaway fish & chips from The Royal Plaice and they were extremely good. Had to wait quite a while as there was just one person working, but the give you a buzzer that pings when your order is ready, so you can get a...drink in the pub opposite while you wait.More

We have used this chippy everv week for years. We always got good value, and great fish & chips. Recently the prices have gone up. which is fair enough. However the size of the fish & the portion of chips have been reduced drastically. Just...no longer value. We will use the other chippy from now on.More

This in my opinion is the best Fish and Chips in Appledore, Devon. The place is very clean, service is quick and staff are extremely friendly. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for great food. Generous sized portions.

This is our local chippy, the best fish and chips in North Devon, the portion size was not as big but filled an empty stomach, nearly always have to wait in a long queue but this can't be helped.

We tried the curries tonight for the first time. Both the chicken and vegan options were delicious. The curries come with rice and a variety of accompaniments. Good value and lovely to have a vegan choice! We will return.

Delightful fish and chips, the curry sauce is top notch. My little one really enjoys the fishcakes. Even better you can eat your fish and chips opposite in the pub with a nice pint.

What a complete joke this place is. 30 minutes queuing just to place an order and then another 30 minutes waiting for it to be brought out. It was almost as if they were cooking the chips one by one. It's a shame because the...chips were nice but i won't be going there again.More

Visited on Friday 18th November 2022 bought take away Fish & Chips. There was a dedicated window next to the restaurant to order take-out food and a receipt number to collect given the high volume of customers. The meal was delivered very quickly but was...still of good quality.More

Wow what a fish & chip shop this place is, coming from Middlesbrough & visiting Whitby on several occasions for the best fish & chips around wanted something similar, this place absolutely smashed any fish and chips iv had anywhere in the country . Plus...the price I couldn’t believe it . Small fish & chips £5 . It’s never heard of thees days . Plus you can eat in the pub across the road which is a great little pub and very good priced with a very pleasant barmaid. We’l definitely be visiting this place again .More

My husband and I drive a long way for lunch here (it’s one of our favourite lunch spots) - and it’s always worth it! The people who own the pub also own the fish and chip restaurant, so you can eat your meal in the...pub, or on its outside seating area, with a drink! The fish and chips are cooked fresh to order and are always lovely - never greasy and the batter on the fish is always crisp, while the chips are golden, firm on the outside and fluffy in the middle. We both have fish, chips and peas and a drink in the pub for less than £14!!!!! It is staggeringly good value for the quality and quantity of the food you get but to be honest it’s the quality and not the price that keeps us going back for more. I can’t rate either the price, quality or staff highly enough. Do give them a try.More

Sorry I don’t know about dogs inside but there is a nice area outside with tables where you can eat and drink and there were dogs there, and water for dogs I seem to remember.
