This was our 3rd visit to Hanburys, the fish+chips with the best tasting mushy peas were gorgeous and well worth another visit again, Highly recommended lovely friendly staff and quick service too, it is a must for anyone visiting Babbacombe to try this fabulous place.

8 Of us ate here, 4 adults and 4 children the staff where amazing. The children where entertained while waiting with the free activity pack and a lot of choice on the menu for them, we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and nothing was too much for the staff we highly recommend 5**** service and food we will return again on our next holiday
This is the first time I'd been to Hanbury 's on the recommendation of a friend.
The staff were tremendous. We hadn't booked and they sent us off to the pub and rang us when a table was available, about 40 mins later.
We were straight in and served pretty damn quick with great food.
Thoroughly recommended.
The best fish & chips we have ever had & to top it off the staff were just wonderful!
Rung up to get 2 large cod and chips & mushy peas, was able to place order for collection. Very polite gentleman on the phone, 13 mins later I'm collecting my order. Highly recommend & Delicious!
We have food from this place every year we come to Devon and it's still incredible. The food is by far the best and it's so delicious that I'm tempted to go back for more.
I would like to say a huge thank you to u and ur staff. We came in tonight for our food to be greeted by the most friendly staff, I placed a call earlier in the day for some plaice for my 5yr old as she loves it but has never had it from a fish and chip shop before and u kindly cooked one for her to which she demolished in about ten minutes so thank u all again and we will definitely be back soon x
You won't find better fish and chips in the South West. Simple as that. And the restaurant staff have a pretty good sense of humour, too.
First visit here and we will certainly be returning. We enjoyed the weekday lunchtime deal (Mon-Thurs) small cod and chips, bread & butter and a drink. Absolutely delicious cod & chips, with curry sauce and more than enough to make us feel full. Fresh bakery bread & proper butter and a delicious cup of tea (coffee or soft drink). Excellent value for money at £8.95 pp. Staff were excellent and the restaurant decor is fabulous. Can't wait to return.
Absolutely lovely, food and service in the restaurant was first class, such lovely friendly staff couldn't be more helpful, whilst not being in your face, our meal came quite quickly and piping hot. And then as if I wasn't full enough with the huge amounts, I managed a very delicious pudding. Will definitely return for a fourth visit.
Excellent as always! The best cod in the Country! You have to order and wait a while, but it is well worth it. We don't go anywhere else when we are down on holiday. 👍😀
We went here 28th August for my husbands birthday treat.First class fish and chips,mushy peas. Definitely would come again if in the area.
The lady who served us was lovely,really friendly and attentive.Hope she has a lovely holiday in Gran Caneria.
Beautiful place, friendly staff and fabulous fish ��
Being a local we were pleased to be able to take family staying in Torquay with us to Hanburys. They were not disappointed and as ever the quality of the fish and service was exemplary. It's a Babbacombe institution and must not be missed !
Brilliant fish and chips. Cod Royale is a fab concept and really worth trying. Looking forward to coming back soon.
Best fish & chips , worth the journey from Oxford . Served in the restaurant by the lovely Janet
I cannot believe how much fish and chips costs these days, but if you're going to fork out you may as well get the best. Me and my wife shared a large haddock and large chips, which was around £17. A regular chips would have been fine. Ate on a bench up the road. Beautiful. Would go back. Be warned - big queues, but actually food was ready in about 15 mins which is fine.
Finally, a fish and chip shop selling decent portions of fish (unlike the large fish finger that a F&C sells in town, near the clock...)
The batter was excellent as were the chips - both of us opting for the haddock which was freshly good and a decent size - I really do recommend this place. You can go online and arrange a pick up, they will also deliver for a few.
Great location, it's so nice picking up and go across sit atop the cliff top looking out to sea.
We'll definitely head back there.
Hanbury's is a Torquay institution, and never disappoints. Traditional Cod and Chips, perfectly prepared and presented, with delightful mushy-peas on the side. Taken away to be eaten in the best possible location on Babbacombe Downs overlooking the wild waves.
As near to perfection as any meal can be.
I believe I've already done a review as this is our go to and by far the best chippy around.
Until a month ago, the restaurant had been closed since the 1st lockdown.
We visited today & the quality of the food & service was top rate as ever.
What some might not realise is that they change the oil in their friers twice daily so the fried fish and chips always taste "clean" & crisp.
Their mushy peas are the best and all items even down to the curry sauce & pickled eggs are great quality.
**July 2022 update** Very unfortunately the restaurant is now permanently closed.
The take-away is still as great & popular as ever however.
Always great Fish and Chips, a must before I go and watch football at Plainmoor.
Our favourite chip shop. Nuff said...
Now open again for takeaway and restaurant service in June 2021, the food here is consistently excellent, the service is very good and friendly, has its own branded ale to wash down your fish and chips. Please use the car park along the road to park as to not disturb the residents adjacent to the takeaway.
Our favourite place for fish and chips, been coming here for years. Staff are always very friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. Would like to say a special thank you to James who went above and beyond to help me with an order yesterday. 5⭐️
It seemed that most people sitting on the benches overlooking the scenery at Babbacombe were all eating fish n chips from Hanbury. We thought we would give it a try and we could see why they were so popular. Served in an easy to share box, with forks, they really were the tastiest fish and chips you could want. A great thing to eat whilst enjoying the fantastic views over the bay.
The best fish n chips I've ever had! You must go to Hanbury's if you like fish n chips. I am very fussy with fish n chips but my Haddock and chips takeaway was excellent! This is a honest opinion.
Great fish and chips service is slow due to how popular it is all food cooked fresh
Simply the best fish in chips anywhere! Last night we had their early bird offer in the restaurant and finished it off with their delicious Salcombe Dairy Ice Cream, absolute quality. They have a huge selection of gin to choose from too. Their fish is coated in a delicious crunchy batter. Nothing is greasy, or stodgy, unlike others. I've also used their great delivery service using their on line platform, it always arrived steaming hot when the driver pulls it out of the insulated bags. The staff are always smiling and friendly. Highly recommend, the only reason I didn't take a photo of the fish and chips was because my head was too focused on eating!!! 😋
Tried different choices from menu over past few years.
Always good (special shout out for the Cornish Hake!).
Thanks Hanburys for understanding (& delivering) when we asked for "scraps" 😁👍
Every time we come to Torquay we visit Babbacombe and Hanburys is a must. It is the closest Fish and Chip shop to the Downs and the beach. The fish (cod) is awesome the batter fresh and the chips tasty. I love the quality of the food here. Partner also says the plaice is great too. I had to wait for the fish to be cooked but that is how it should be. They now do ales too which I purchased and will update review once tried. The fish is the most expensive in Babbacombe vs other chip shops but like I said it is the closeat to the beach and downs and you pay a little extra. Without doubt its quality cannot be faulted at all. Awesome everytime!!!!!!
Very friendly staff. Food cooked to order do very fresh. Not the cheapest but value for money. Would recommend.
First visit. Good range of food. Cornish hake available and some locally caught fish but unclear where the cod and haddock is sourced from. Nice to order chips separately as there are usually too many. A large portion between three of us is usually ample. Friendly service. The ordering area is small so can get rather crowded.
