We are in holiday in ilfracombe but read the reviews and decided to travel to Woolacombe to live the dream of watching the sunset and feed the family for a special treat, chips by the sea. Its our last night so we have run all the food we had down to literally nothing. An hours parking was not enough to nip inside this chippy, the service is the most disorganised mess you have ever seen. I'm embarrassed for them. We were unaware getting into the queue just how long we would be or we would have gone somewhere else, my husband had got the card to buy the chips, so i couldn't pay the meter anymore, my hour ran up and I had to circle for another 70 mins. Have you ever been to a chippy where it takes 130 mins to get served, the queue wasn't even that big. My husband and kids were absolutely freezing as in vest tops after the hot day, they were starving and tearful and it was dark when they finally emerged so the sunset was gone, they got into the car and still didn't have any chips, as after that wait the staff didn't want to put anymore chips on at 830 as they were closing at 9. People had been waiting 130 mins, are they joking? Couldnt find anywhere open then and we are all now absolutely starving. Not good enough

Always a queue so expect to wait at least 15-20 minutes as they seem to make all fish fresh to order. By no means are they slow though! Organised ticketing system and the guys and gals were operating at full steam ahead, all the time. Very impressed with the service. Extremely fresh fish with crispy batter and no residual oil. Chips were on point and cooked properly. This might be the only chippy in Woolacombe and if it is, it's probably because it ran competitors out of business!
