Prospect Plaice

We both had cod and chips upstairs in the cafe. The food was piping hot, and the staff couldn’t have been more pleasant. Our fish was perfectly cooked, my mushy peas were very good and the curry sauce my husband had was also good. A busy cafe worth visiting.

On holiday dropped in to Sidmouth to see the Sea got hungry popped into Prospect was met with a friendly smile order taken went upstairs to seating area food arrived quickly with another friendly smile and helpful waitress and the food was plentiful and tasty so all in all a great choice to eat here.

Fantastic service. Lovely food. Couldn't do more to try and accommodate even on a very very busy day. One of the best fish and chips around. Very fairly priced as well.

We had such a lovely experience at Prospect Fish & Chips in Sidmouth. We arrived during the afternoon break when most restaurants were closed, and we were tired, hungry, and a bit desperate to find something open. Thankfully, we found this place – and what a pleasant surprise! We were a group of four, with a stroller and a sleeping toddler, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder. They checked on us several times to see if we needed anything, and were genuinely friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent – crispy chips, perfectly cooked fish, and we also had a burger that was absolutely delicious. The meat was beautifully seasoned and juicy. We even asked for a good beer and were not disappointed. What really stood out was the warm and thoughtful service. The staff came by twice to ask if everything was okay, which made us feel truly looked after. I was honestly surprised to see that this place doesn’t have higher reviews – we were genuinely impressed and very happy with the whole experience. We’re giving it five stars without hesitation. Highly recommended!

I’ll mention the price first as it the first thing you see. Yeah it’s a little pricey but you’re at the coast and have to expect premium rates for these locations, just let me add it was worth every penny. The service was spot on from placing the order to bringing our food to the table the staff were very friendly. The seating area upstairs was nice and we managed to get by the window which was a bonus on a hot day plus take in the busy vibe of the entrance to Sidmouth high st. Now the important bit, the food! Cod and chips for my partner £12.95, 2 jumbo sausage in batter and chips with salad for me £9.95 with a side of curry sauce £1.50. The chips were exactly what you want, I nice chunky chip that wasn’t greasy, the perfect chip. The sausage and cod were both amazing! Batter was fresh and fluffy, no grease what so ever. ‘Best cod ever’ my partner said. The curry sauce was a fair size portion for the price with a fruity raisin flavour. All the condiments you’d want on the table including bottles of ketchup, brown sauce and Mayo none of these little sachets. I would definitely recommend a visit when your in Sidmouth, I think it will be our go to chippy when we’re in the area.

Great fish & chips and the portions are generous. A little on the pricey side, but they were delicious. You order and wait for them to be cooked if you want take away

We walked in off the street, 9 of us, kids and adults. Very friendly and welcoming. We sat upstairs and had the best fish and chips we’ve had in years. Thank you so much.
