Esplanade Fish Bar

Really thoughtfully made food; in my case I ordered the Breaded whitebait which was a delight to eat! It’s perfect for a pescatarian/halal diet as their oil isn’t from broth of other animals but is vegetarian friendly. Would come back here if I visit Exmoor!

Lovely fresh fish, decent portion with a stunning view to eat by. Sauce pots are a good portion, curry sauce was thick and tasty.

Fresh chips! Very hot! Enjoyed sitting on the boulders opposite the shop, despite the rain it was lovely to sit and enjoy the seaview.
Well priced and just what we wanted.

Now in my top 5 fish and chips in the UK. Firstly, we are in, and the eating area was very clean, spotless, that's a big plus for a chippy. Secondly the food, wow, so nice! Everything was slightly tastier than than you could expect. Curry sauce was delicious, slight fruitiness to it, battered sausage wasn't your average batter, it was super nice, Mac and cheese bites.. well... find out for yourself! All in a pleasant seating area supplied by friendly efficient staff!

Fresh fish and crispy chips.
Lovely fish and chips probably the best (with woolacombe but shh)
Variety of sides and drinks and meals on offer.
Average price. Well worth going all out with the fish n chips.
Lovely scenery.
Would return

Today we were enjoying this beautiful place and around 4.30 felt we are ready for some food. You can't imagine our suprise when we discovered that most local shops, take aways were shut! and then on our way to car park we found this fish place! The best breaded cod I ever had, so fresh, well cooked and juicy! Thanks you for a pure enjoyment & being open longer!

Food is excellent. The curry sauce for any northerners is the Chinese/Irish curry sauce - not quite as good as back home but still decent! Fish was a good thick piece. I guess only criticism would be it’s very expensive. 3 meals cost us £29 but the food at least was very good. Lovely friendly staff

Omg best fish and chips ever! 10/10 lovely to eat just out on the wall opposite in the sunshine. Will make a thing of having it every time I'm in Lynmouth now I think

We always come here when we can park near by (as I'm disabled). We visited here on Monday afternoon and my Dad and I had Haddock & chips, my fiancé had Crab Cake & chips. All three meals were absolutely fantastic as always.

Excuse the fish being tucked into in the picture, but I couldn't wait!!

Been here several times food has never disappointed cod is normally ready if you want haddock it’s cooked to order definitely worth the wait. One thing to note is everything is fried in ground nut oil so if you have a nut allergy be careful.

Couldn't fault the fish and chips we had. The Fish was beautifully cooked, crispy and not greasy at all. The chips were nicely cooked. Curry sauce was delicious. Only critism is It's fairly expensive for the quantity, but I guess it's to expected in this location

I just love the opportunity for a ride out to Lynmouth and a visit to the Esplanade Fish Bar is an absolute must. We always stop here for a box of fish and chips and have never been disappointed by the service or the quality of the food. Eat them by the sea wall and soak in the atmosphere. Beautiful!!!

We go there every time we come to Lynton! The fish and chips are very delicious and I like that the fish are not too greasy and have crunchy breading, one of the best fish and chips places we’ve been to. The portions are very big so make sure you are really hungry! Would maybe be great to have slightly bigger forks :) Price wise it’s very good and the staff is always nice and well-organised! We like the sea view, a very nice seaside location :)

Fast efficient, friendly service. Although, Only one size of cod. Perfectly cooked...and if you can eat it without the seagulls dive bombing you even better. The views are wonderful from outside the esplanade too.

I'm a regular customer, always coming back, delishous cod and fluffy, tasty chips, all perfect!

Fabulous meals both times from the Esplanade Fish Bar amazing customer service loved the fish cakes

I have eaten at award winning fish & chip shops across the south west, Torquay, Woolacoombe etc, and these were by far the BEST FISH AND CHIPS I have ever had. It was all cooked to order rather than being sat on a shelf waiting to be bought. First of all the portion size was perfect. (Too many places give you far too many chips, that are often stodgey) the fish was fresh tasting, and lovely texture and the batter was light, but still crispy. I'm not a huge fan of fish and chips, but honestly this was amazing. Especially tasty after doing the valley of rocks walk and being extra hungry 😁

Just over the road from Lynmouth harbour, where you can sit and eat. Really excellent fish and chips.

We popped in for a lil cone of chips only but felt compelled to leave a review as they really were LOVELY chips, perhaps the best we had during our Devon/Cornwall trip.

Hot and fresh chips. Long queue, well managed, but worth the wait.
Fish and pies looked good.
