The Famous Fish Pan

Proper fish and chips done right on the Foreshore—battered fish that's crispy outside, flaky within, and chips that actually taste of potato.

Head down to the Foreshore and you'll find The Famous Fish Pan doing what it's been doing for years: frying fish properly. This is the kind of place where locals queue up before you've even thought about dinner, and there's a reason for it. The batter's got that perfect golden crunch, the fish inside is fresh and substantial, and they don't skimp on the portions. It's takeaway focused—grab your paper-wrapped parcel and find a bench overlooking the seafront, or take it back home. Prices sit around the £7-12 mark depending on what you're after, which feels fair for quality this consistent. No fancy presentation, no pretence. Just the chippy done brilliantly.
