Most Liked
The fish and chips here are consistently praised for their generous portions. A small cod is satisfying, with a light, crispy batter that makes every bite enjoyable.
The chips deserve special mention. Fresh and fluffy inside with a crispy exterior, they stand out from factory-produced options, leaving a lasting impression on every diner.
Beachcliff has exciting vegan options, like the spicy cauliflower, offering something unique for those not in the mood for seafood.
The friendly, helpful staff enhance the experience, always ready to assist and ensure that diners feel welcomed. Plus, the stunning view of the seafront adds to the charm, making it an ideal dining spot.
Most Disliked
Some diners have noted that the option of adding lettuce to plates feels unnecessary and does not add to the dish. This has been a minor point of contention among regulars.
During peak hours, especially Friday evenings, the place can become overwhelmingly busy, potentially leading to longer wait times and a cramped atmosphere.
Although their service options are excellent, some customers might desire more diverse dining choices within the menu, especially for those seeking beyond traditional fish and chips.
The limited dessert options may leave some diners hoping for a sweeter end to their meal, especially after indulging in hearty portions.

This really is the best fish & chips I’ve had in a very long time. Where to start? The portions are generous, the price very reasonable and the food is excellent: Fish : a small cod was more than enough for me - great size and the batter was so thin and crispy - like tempura and not soggy on the inside which it so often is. Chips: these chips are fresh from The fryer and look homemade - not like terrible mass produced frozen ones. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy inside and were nicely seasoned. Curry sauce: chip shop or Irish? Both amazing!! Mushy peas: yummy Vegan options : what a treat! The spicy cauliflower was perfectly cooked inside beautifully crisp batter. Other vegan options also available. I would definitely return. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Fish and chips were perfectly cooked. Their Irish curry sauce was amazing. Fantastic view over the sea & you can see the pier. Polite and helpful staff. It definitely deserves more stars. Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch here.

After a total disaster at another place (cold, soggy, clearly frozen chips), we came here not expecting much — but it was a game changer. These were proper chip shop chips: thick, golden, fresh out of the fryer and cooked just right. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and actually seasoned. You could taste the difference straight away — no frozen nonsense, just real chips made with care. It’s exactly what you want when you’re by the sea: a simple tray of hot, satisfying chips that actually feel worth it. Absolutely made up for the earlier letdown — we’ll be coming back here next time, no question.

Absolutely perfect fish and chips. Excellent value large cod and chips. Beautiful and crispy batter and lovely chips. However does not need the lettuce, adds nothing to the dish.

Wonderful spot for fish and chips. I got the Irish curry sauce and would recommend it to everyone. This was apparently a *small* cod and chips and filled me up easily!

Such a treat to have vegan options at a Fish and chip shop. Staff were super helpful and were happy to check if other items on the menu were plant based. Food was delicious! Can't wait to come back.
