A family holiday to North Cornwall would never be the same without sampling some of the best fish and chips in Padstow. Plus, we believe that the only real way to enjoy this quintessential British cuisine is to eat it whilst sitting on the beach watching the surf.
The north coast of Cornwall is lucky to have a vibrant fishing community with wonderful fresh fish arriving daily and no piece of fresh British fish would be the same without some salty chips and perhaps a portion of mushy peas too.
From takeaway fish and chips from Rick Stein Fish and Chips to dining in at Trevisker’s Kitchen, here are our picks of the best fish and chips Padstow:

If you’re looking for some of the best Padstow fish and chips, then a trip to the famous Rick Stein Fish and Chips is a must. Enjoy traditional British fish and chips either from the comfort of the restaurant or on the go as you walk along the beachfront.
Their menu features a large range of locally sourced fish served in a number of ways, including battered or grilled, alongside your favourite sauces and dips, hand cut chips, or oysters. No matter how fussy an eater you or a your family members are, you’ll always find a dish here to love.
Tucked away on a small street in the heart of Padstow, is the grand, white-washed townhouse restaurant of Paul Ainsworth at No. 6. Known as one of Cornwall’s Michelin Star restaurants, you and your family are in for a real treat when dining here.
Whilst we know that Michelin star dining is not always the first port of call for a family holiday, No. 6 is well-known for its laid-back and welcoming atmosphere. They even have a children’s menu available upon request. So when you’re craving traditional chips with a little more luxury, No. 6 is the place to go.
Located on the main road into Padstow, Treviskers Kitchen serves up a freshly prepared mix of traditional classics with a twist. Their relaxed and friendly atmosphere makes it the perfect place to catch up with friends and family.
Using the freshest ingredients, head chef Henk cooks up a storm in the kitchen. Plus his famous ‘very nice twice cooked chips’ will have you returning time and time again. Enjoy sitting out in the garden on a warm summer’s day or dine inside and enjoy a walk around the nearby garden centre on a rainy day in Cornwall.
If you’re happy to travel a little further afield, we highly recommend visiting The Mote in Port Isaac. It’s considered by many to serve the best fish and chips in Port Isaac and they’ve spent years sourcing the best local supplier so they can serve you the best food possible.
They pride themselves on showcasing the finest Cornish produce with most of their fish and seafood coming from local supplies, so it’s no real surprise that it features so heavily on their menu. Children and those with dietary requirements are also catered for. Enjoy an afternoon bite with a cup of tea or go all out with a three-course dinner.
Lying in the renowned surfing haven of Polzeath is the contemporary Oystercatcher. Whether you’ve been on a dog-friendly walk along Polzeath Beach, explored North Cornwall’s vibrant coastline, or just fancy some sumptuous fish and chips in Polzeath, the Oystercatcher is the place to be.
Their contemporary menu features plenty of pub classics from the all important Padstow fish and chips to burgers and steaks. And why not enjoy two of their award-winning beers whilst dining al fresco on a warm summers day? All their food has been made with the freshest local ingredients. We don’t think it could be any more appealing.
