Paignton Pier Chippy Co.

You're standing on Paignton Pier with the sea air hitting your face and a paper cone of steaming chips in your hand—this is what it's supposed to feel like. Paignton Pier Chippy Co. does the unglamorous work of serving genuinely good fish and chips without any pretension. The batter's got that satisfying crunch, the fish inside stays tender, and they don't skimp on portions. It's the kind of place where you'll spot families, couples, and solo chip fiends queuing up, especially on weekends when the pier gets busy.
