Hanburys Fish and Chips
Hanbury's
A well-known fish and chip shop in Babbacombe, founded in 1981, which has won the South West's Best Fish and Chip Shop title several times.
Located at 24 Princes Street in Babbacombe, this is the best-known fish and chip shop around Torquay. It has been named South West Fish and Chip Shop of the Year eight times and emphasises locally sourced fish from sustainable fisheries. It currently focuses on takeaway and is licensed. Orders can be placed online for collection or delivery, and after buying, you can walk a few minutes to the Babbacombe Downs clifftop grass to eat while looking at the sea. The shop briefly closed for renovation in early 2026, so it is worth phoning ahead before your visit. Closed on Sundays.
Opening hours
Lunch Monday to Thursday 11:30–13:45, Friday and Saturday until 14:00; dinner Monday to Saturday 16:30–20:30; closed Sundays
