I think dawlish needed cheering up! fantastic sign! drove past last night and it looked so busy! best of luck to the owners!

Wow thank you so much! We've really put our hearts into this shop and are glad so far that everyone is happy!

Many Thanks - All from Rock 'n' Sole!

you deserve it! keep up the good work love your sign xx

I will be visiting the area soon. Please can you tell me where this shop is? Town Centre, Edge of town? etc. Thanks

It is up Strand Hill. Find Bet Fred (Can't miss it really) Go up road to right and it is at the top on left.......you will probably see the queue of people leading to it....

Finally, Dawlish needed a decent Fish and Chip Shop! Real Potato chips, fantastic fish and a large variety menu! Plus lovely to see staff working with a smile and enjoying the buzz of serving those hungry customers to make them have the best meal of the week! Well Done!

First class fish and chips, with first class service...many thanks to the management and staff. A colourful part of Dawlish which will become a firm favourite of locals and visitors!

My goodness me Anon you seem obsessed with the place, one wonders if you are getting free fish and chips.

i have just had a burger with salad, onions and lashings of mayonaise. a fine fare indeed.

Nice chips, friendly girls serving - well done!

We have had the best Kebab here in a Naan bread. I couldn't eat all of mine as there was too much and thats the first time I have ever said that!!! Fantastic fish and chips too...shame about his odd crocs!!!!

Does anyone know if they take telephone orders?

Charged 80p for an empty cardboard box for my son and daughter to eat their supper out of. Seemed a bit steep when i had spent over £20. could understand it if i were a tourist. (sadly).

And did you complain at the time to the fish & chip shop or have you just restricted yourself to this forum?

We're sorry to hear that you were unhappy having to paying for an extra box.

The reason you were charged an additional 80 pence is because we factor in the price of our packaging into our menu and so any extra packaging taken is an additional cost.
The cost of one of the cardboard chip trays isn’t as high as a printed box. Next time when splitting one meal between two, it might be more cost effective to ask for an extra tray instead of a box, especially if it’s to give to your kids.

When they give it to us for free, we will give it away for free!

We are trying to reduce and switch all our packaging to recyclable materials. During this period we would appreciate feedback on the new packaging.

Many Thanks, all at Rock 'n' Sole

A complimentary box would have been a goodwill gesture

Why should you be treated special because you live here? .. at least tourists are happy to be here. It didnt take long before the 'knocks' came in for the chip shop. Sad isnt it and people wonder why no new shops here set up here.
You know theres a saying .. plenty of people will knock you down ..but not many will pick you up.

Local trade is all year if retail outlets only think of tourist trade its no wonder locals go out of town to shop.
The profit margin in restarants take away outlets is quite high giving away a box that probably cost 20p wouldnt have broken the bank. If a bit of good will is given people go back.

Sounds like you know it all.

If you knew the price of the box (80p) before hand.. you had two choices...Pay up or not. If you weren't a tourist, why couldn't you have taken the meal home and divided it on a plate for your children.
You always have choices.
