DJ's Fish & Chips, nestled on Dartmouth Road in Paignton, has quickly established itself as a must-try destination for lovers of classic British fare. With rave reviews from customers, it’s clear that the restaurant excels in delivering perfectly cooked fish and an array of delicious chips. One reviewer, Alan Reynolds, raves about the "amazing chips," describing them as outstanding and crispy, worthy of a six-star rating if possible.

Amazing chips! Just called in for a large portion, whist here on holiday. First time in this shop. How do you get your chips so perfect ? Outstanding in my book. Well done and thank you. Will be calling back, that’s for sure. Polite, helpful , quick, very Covid aware and the best chips ever. Would give you 6 stars if it was possible!!

Excellent new local fish & Chip shop. Staff all friendly and chatty. Food is best we have tasted. Visited this place 4 times since they opened in March and we have never been disappointed. Keep up the good work and thank you for putting right my error tonight when my wife Yvonne came in to collect our order that I had mistakenly preordered online for tomorrow night instead You put things right and cooked it while we waited and it was excellent. See you soon and thanks again to all the staff who had a laugh with Yvonne at my expense

Ordered a fairly large order at DJs yesterday. All the fish was cook perfectly, the batter wasnt too thick which is always a bonus. The chips are a must have, always nice and crispy. Would 100% go again

DJ's is quite simply the best fish and chips in the bay, the fish just melts in your mouth chips are awesome and I can definitely recommend the curry sauce. The staff are great and always have a smile to greet you. It's only a matter time before they start winning awards

Called in on mother's Day with my son and daughter. Although I live in Torquay, have never visited before. Very clean and welcoming. Lady behind the counter very friendly. Chips were a good portion size, we also had fish, sausages, fritters etc, which were absolutely delicious. We all agreed it was the best we'd all tasted in a long time.
