Massive let down, made the trip to try the fish and chips especially. I was in Newquay. Chips tasted like they were from yesterday and fish was over done as batter was solid. I thought they would've been hot and fresh as I opted for vegetarian oil. I have been to Rick stein pre covid in fistral and that was a joy, this was worse than fish and chips I can get in a chicken shop in London. Avoid

Had the hake , which was delicious - but the chips were absolutely dreadful - if it had not been the only takeaway open, after a 5 hour drive to Padstow, I would have thrown them in the bin. Bear in mind this was 31 for two fish and 4 chips. Batter was pretty soggy too. You have to expressly ask for vegetable oil too, as they normally use beef dripping. This is, of course, a personal opinion but beef dripping is rank and taints the food that’s cooked in it. Really, I cannot recommend, in any way, Rick steins fish and chip shop. The chips are truly, truly awful. I last visited four years ago and it was bad then - but it’s got worse, which must take some effort. Staff are polite but food rubbish.
Like most people I suspect we went to this fish and chip shop expecting good fish and chips, sadly we were very disappointed. Despite eating immediately the fish was average at best and the chips were terrible, like they had been sitting around far too long. Very overpriced also what's with not being able to put salt and pepper on for us like most chip shops, why the terrible little sachets? . Rick, if you ever read these I think you would have been disgusted and ashamed by the standard of your own Fish and chips, maybe sort out the quality of product rather than relying on your name.
Very good haddock, ordered 2. Be warned if you eat outside then the seagulls in Padstow are vicious buggers. In an attempt to nab my fish, he bit into my finger. Maybe karma for ordering 2, but he didn't succeed.
Worst fish and chips I’ve had in the West Country. I’d be ashamed to serve this quality of food. The portion size was small with soggy chip which had been clearly been hanging around a while, the fish was very mediocre. Avoid this tourist trap at all costs and don’t line the pockets of Rick stein. Maybe the CLA can organise something...
really gone down hill ,had the haddock which was under cooked ,the skin under the batter was slimy and the chips were soggy and just warm ,a shame as we have been coming here for years
Mediocre at best, very small portion size, 45 minute wait outside of peak time also got the order wrong
