The Dolphin Fish Bar in Exeter

No card machine, so had to get out cash.

Good sized portion of chips. (1portion between two is enough 😳) Quick service freshly cooked fish to order 😁

This was the nearest take away I could find near my hotel ( I’m visiting the RD&E). When I arrived, a saw a sign Saying CASH ONLY. I went in ( really hungry) and asked if I could have fish and a few chip for £5 as this was the only cash I had, they Chinese lady said NO. .. just like that! So I found 60p in change in my purse, and asked if I could have a portion of fish (£4.80) and a HALF portion; if chips. Guess what…. She said NO. So I brought back to the hotel a piece of fish, drenched in oil. And not a chip in sight. Great customer service! I won’t be going back there again. It actually made me feel quite sad.

Absolutely disgusting, greasy, soggy batter, probably the worst fish and chips I've had

Well never thought I could be disappointed but here we are, I've had some bad food in my time but this place is by far top of the don't even bother list. Chips are soggy and saturated in grease. The fish cake was 🤢 no crunch to it at all I shall not be going to this place ever again.

I'm their regular customer for 9 years and I never been disappointed because of the service and food is great, always high quality! Yesterday I've just popped in after work but it was nearly their closing time but 2 lovely ladies taken my order for my family. I'm so grateful for their kindness and hard work, for preparing tasty food. I am happy to recommend them to everyone! 🙂

Very disappointing. I’m at a loss to understand how it gets such a high rating. The portion of chips were mostly scraps. I couldn’t eat most of them. The frying fat tasted stale and bitter. The vegetable miniature spring rolls were almost entirely roll with very little inside. £2.40 for about 8. The two together cost just under £5. I appreciate times are hard but my experience was I wished I’d done without. The interior of the job is drab, faded and depressing. It looks grim and tatty. It doesn’t need an expensive makeover. Just a coat of paint and some decent food.

My son loves this place, I prefer Choys. However, the staff are lovely, service is fast and the prices are reasonable. I just like my chips cooked more

Well...that was awful!!I stopped off for a little lunch.The english lady was FAB & polite.If this is the "Best" locally then the worst wont be far behind.Chips where soggy & the oil taste 🤢!!The sausage had more cereal then Kellogg's cornflakes and the gravy was tasteless!My can of Diet coke was fine!!Sorry guy's....not up to standard for me! 😡I travel the country and give an honest opinion.

Best Chippy in Exeter. An old fashioned, friendly staffed fish and chip bar which is also very affordable. I've got family members South-West Devon, surrounding areas of Exeter and beyond who all swear by this place being one of the best chip shop they've ever been to.It's fantastic.
