Whenever my parents and i come to the pelican they really can't do enough looked after so well and always go the extra mile. Shirley and tony come every Friday or saturday simple because they say it's the best place by far... food is fantastic... keep up the good wrk pelican staff. Highly recommend..
we drive past our local fish & chip shop to go to the Pelican, the food is excellent, and staff always so friendly! would highly recommend for the best fish and chips around!
I was lucky enough to win fish and chips X 2 in a competition and omg it was huge, beautifully cooked, lovely light batter and moist fish inside and the chips, just awesome, this is definitely my favourite fish and chip shop now, most definitely will be back, oh, one other thing, the staff were lovely, really friendly, making it even more of a treat �
Perfection on a plate, very busy, do book, staff are so friendly, food amazing and the loos are 5 star. I can totally understand why The Pelican won the award.
Wow ! What a fab atmosphere and blown away by the friendliness from the staff ! Went in with my little ones and the staff were wonderful with them ! 10 out of 10 to your team ,it’s rare to find that level of customer service these days ! I highly recommend this restaurant , AMAZING !
The Pelican must be the best " plaice " haha to eat in England. Our experience was made even more enjoyable with our gorgeous Italian waiter Well worth a visit
Went on Saturday evening. I must say the whole experience was worthy of a mention. Delightful friendly staff very pleasant and helpful. Meal was delicious and the Banofee desert was lush !!!! And with a nice glass of wine it was just as good as a night out in any restaurant !!! Thoroughly recommend it.
We had a meal for my mother in laws birthday last night..food was great & the staff were so friendly & accommodating..they even came out singing with the birthday cake which was a really nice touch.
Popped in to the Pelican for the first time today and could not fault anything ..the customer service from the minute we walked in was excellent . we were served by a lovely young man called Ethan who's personality is an asset to the restaurant.. All the staff were extremely professional friendly and accommodating .. The fish and chips we're without a doubt the best we've had since living in Devon. We will definitely be returning on a regular basis. Marcel & Julie
Good food, the fish is succulent and chips never greasy. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Car park at rear.
Best fish and chip shop I've ever been to. Very smart and very clean with top quality food at very fair prices. Free top-ups of tea, coffee and chips and great service. Even the toilets are like those in a 5* hotel. Top marks. We will be returning!
Superb restraunt.....
Great food ...
Fantastic staff..
Excellent service and experience..
Can't go wrong
Culinary delight!
Love it ��
Yesterday I was a winner of the fish pun competition which meant I won two large fish and chips. I have not eaten from yourselves in a while and I was very pleased. The food was beautiful the fish had loads of flavour and was not greasy at all. My son loved the chips. Would definatly reccomend!! Very happy ��
We live nearby and whenever we have visitors we bring them here. Never disappointed. We also eat here every few weeks and recently had a special birthday family event here. Fifteen of us made to feel special. Fish is so fresh, scampi too. Can't fault anything.
Not bad fish and chips; I’ve been destroyed for quality fries (chips) in Belgium and Australia, so found the fries (chips) here a little moist. Fish was nicely cooked however.
Cajon Salmon was nice-portion was a little less then I would have liked.
Very friendly staff. Joint Obviously loved by the locals.
Best fish and chips in barnstaple. Nice restaurant, clean with plenty of seating. Fish was good quality, lovely cod,plaice and fish cakes. Good sized plates and good service. Good to eat in with a takeaway next to the restaurant. Disabled parking and toilets. Nice for families.
Fabulous fish & chips, crisp batter, great chips. Very pleased to see the grilled fish option and a lite bite option with salad.
Lovely busy atmosphere and the staff were excellent, there but not intrusive. Very good wine and drinks list.
We were there early on a Monday evening, you definitely need to book a table!
A pearl in Barnstaple!
Best fish and chips in the area hands down. Service was friendly and helpful, prices reasonable, service was also fast. Fish was really fresh. I've been here a few times in the past and I felt this was the best visit. Also bonus points for being open on a bank holiday. The salad option with fish below was really great for my parents and as you can see from the photo it was presented really well and tasted great.
Pre order on there website , all fresh and ready to collect 15mins later , excellent food !
Had a fish n chips supper with the family on Friday, and I'd recommend The Pelican any day! Their service was outstanding, the whole place was very clean, well run and with super bathrooms. There's also a disabled/mother and baby toilet on the ground floor.
I chose Cod and Chips with mushy peas, and the batter was really tasty and light with just the right amount of crunch to it. Next time I'm in North Devon I'm definitely coming back for more!
The grandchildren had generous portions but they enjoyed it so much they finished the lot.
Staff were good...
Food was also good and value for money
We used click and collect. There was something for everyone on the menu, which isn't always the case. We were very pleased with it all. XX
Great family fish and chip shop with bags of space inside to accommodate up to eight people in one booth.
All the food was freshly cooked to order and came out within 15 minutes.
Staff were lovely, seating us without a reservation on a Monday night, but I did recommend booking if you'll be here during peak times.
Kids menu was more than enough food for hungry tummies and at £5.95 a bargain.
We had a click and collect take away . Best food I've had from pelican I struggle with fried food so had the grilled cod and chips the cod was absolutely gorgeous best fish I've ever had!! Cooked to perfection and even the chips were good not too greasy at all ,everyone enjoyed their meals . Can't wait to come back again 😋👍
The food was excellent, and the cod was so fresh and crispy.
Grilled salmon was cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly.
The biggest letdown was the chops they were so soggy and must, which does let them down badly.
A Good chippy.... a pleasant surprise for me as i went in there spontaneously... fish was lovely, good chips. Fish and chips is a big feature of my reviews... this chip shop is right up there....Next time in the North Devon area this will be my Fish supper for me and the Family.
Good food, quick service...
Got quite warm in the back of the restaurant, after asking they put the air conditioning on but still quite warm but only at the back of the ground floor so probably not the best area to sit if you tend to get warm..
Service was friendly and will definitely go back for more.
Fabulous restaurant and takeaway. Bright, clean, friendly service. Delicious fish and chips! Best we've had.
Pleasant staff good food and quick service.
