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.

Truly stunning fish and chips, bit pricey at 10.95 each. Serving nice beer to go with it too. Keep up the good work! Great location,
Excellent fish and chips at lunchtime. I think they may close at seven in the evening. You then have to get your take-away from the pub next door. I think they are the same people. A bit pricey but great.
7/10 fish and chips, 10/10 location. A good size portion of tasty fish and the batter was ok. Chips were from frozen packet chips but well cooked. Overall a nice takeaway but don't expect the best. With the restaurant being on the shoreline, being able to eat your F&C on the beach adds a lot to the experience!
We enjoyed our meal, and would use again. Pleasant friendly staff, recommend.
