The London Fryer

About

The London Fryer, established in 1982, is a beloved family‑run fish‑and‑chips shop located just a short walk from the seaside promenade in Paignton, Devon. With a history that dates back to Roy Abbott’s first frying job at the age of 14, the restaurant has grown from a humble chippy into a modern dining venue that still serves the classic British staple with an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced fish. The menu offers traditional cod and chips, savory scallop or salmon options, and a daily “Catch of the Day” that arrives hot with mushy peas, butter, bread and a selection of soft drinks—all for just £7.50. Bookings are encouraged during busy periods by calling 01803 552939, but walk‑ins are welcomed, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it a favourite among families, locals, and tourists looking for authentic seaside fare.
