Reviews in Paignton

We have been frequenting this establishment since the 1970's when the family moved in and we have to say that it is indeed a wonderful and most friendly restaurant place.The food is excellent and we recommended it. Mike and Maureen.

What a lovely surprise. Went there for Sunday lunch with a relative from Paignton who has not been there previously. The owners/hosts were so pleasant and lovely. The food really was excellent. To live so closeby and although we had previously heard good comments but not to have visited we should be feeling very guilty. See you again soon with a bunch of our friends and I will give them a surprise not to be forgotten. Thank you

After a long day in Paignton my friend and I decided to stop at what looked like a nice place to eat. Little did we know.. The girl on the till was rushing us to place our order and her maths wasn't the best with giving change either, a non-issue really.. However, we politely asked a guy who worked there and was stacking shelves if he minded us taking down a chair to sit on, it had been a long day! Apparently this was unacceptable. We sat outside the chip shop on one of the seats, deciding it was far too cold we went inside and another customer offered up a spare chair on their table. We kindly accepted. The gent who was stacking the shelves came over as if he was going to hit us, "You can't bring chairs in from outside! Put it back!" After explaining that we had used a chair from inside the store, we were once more shouted at and told this was unacceptable. We instantly demanded our money back as we would not be dining there, we were once again shouted at. After asking to see the manager we were informed there would be a long wait, clearly only said to get rid of us. It's ok, we had a few hours left on the car.. The girl on the till gave us our money back, but was furious when we still wanted to see the manager. The manager comes out, "What's your problem?!" was the greeting. After explaining the issue she didn't seem to care in the slightest. With a manager like that no wonder the staff are terrible. Will never visit again.

I used to love Scoffs as takeaway chips but last Sunday I sat down in their restaurant and I swear that ill never ever buy from there again, nor will my friends. I and 2 members of my family from Kenya went for takeaway chips then decided as we had half hour to kill to sit down and eat them in the restaurant. The assistants kept staring at the two kenyans as if they had never seen a non white person before, then 4 members of staff (yes 4!!) all came up together and intimidated us by standing over the table and demanding to know what we were doing. We said we wanted to eat the food we had bought there, but they were bullying and demanded we pay extra to sit down, and were incredibly rude to us. Then after we complained about the service, they stood behind the counter gossiping, pointing fingers and making fun of us. Racist, inept, ill mannered, ill trained and redneck. Ill never go there again and will complain to the owners too.

Great place - lovely views and lots of character - formerly part of Compton Castle Estate, home of the Gilbert family with connections to Francis Drake and voyages of discovery in Elizabethan era. Now a Restaurant and Tea Rooms, famous for Sunday Lunch at any time and Cream Teas in the Summer. Also does excellent Evening Meals at the weekend. I have been going there for many years - same owners for almost 30 years. Doesn't advertise and is a little hidden gem well worth finding and visiting. Everyone I have recommended has been well pleased. Also does outside catering and functions including wedding receptions

i cannot recommend scoffs in paighton enough,one day i had haddock and chips,one day i had cod chips and peas and another day i had jumbo sausage chips and gravy, the food is superb and i wish they would open one in ACCRINGTON where i live. ONCE AGAIN BATTERED CHIPS ! SUPERB

In fairness it was some time ago, but the chips were cold, and the burger like leather. Will not be recommending it . It did however look fun., and very attractive from outside

Went here to buy chips and was waiting in the queue when the woman on the till told us to wait outside as they were "busy" [serving one person in front, one of our friends]. If she called that busy I'd love to have heard what she thought of the summer peak season. Went outside and sat on the table whilst waiting when she stuck her head round the corner and said that the table was only for paying customers! Used to eat here regularly but after this, never again which is a shame as the staff have been good up until now.

I just celebrated my birthday at Caseys Diner in Paignton, we all had a fantastic time, the food was great and very well priced, I had smothered chicken and my hubby had an amazing steak, the kiddies meals were brought out in cars and they got a toy too, the desserts were fab and huge, Thank you caseys for making my birthday so special! Will definitely be back again soon!

having been to scoffs having had a great meal for the first time we found the premises clean and efficient and the staff kind and friendly.on leaving the lady on the till thanked us for coming and eating with us .we recommend for any one to try.

I wouldn't recommend this restaurant in the world the manager carol is rude and disrespectful and needs a make over and a attitude change towards her staff and customers. When i visited this restaurant the service was terrible and i wont be going there any time soon.

WOW these are without doubt the best chips we have ever had, fish was good too, there was a young man offering tasters outside the shop great idea, everyone was going in to buy after tasting,

Scoffs is the best ever fish and chips you will ever taste and i want one to open in Plymouth

Scoffs, the best fish & chips ever tasted - open one near me in Kent

We tried the plaice at the london fryer when we were on holiday and liked it so much we called in every night for the same.It was brilliant value at £2.65 and was cooked fresh while we waited

Lunch at the Boathouse on a cold wintry day consisted of a chicken pie and chips! Big portions, lovely food, relaxed environment, but good atmosphere as busy but not too busy! Cant wait to try it in the summer in the beer garden looking out to sea!! Good news, dogs are welcome inside as well as out!!!

The best Indian I have visited so far.Wide selection of dishes from different regions of India(some of them I have never heard of).Each dish tastes different to the other and was full of subtle flavours.Very clean and modern interior.Professional and friendly staff.will visit again.Try it when in Paignton.

Great food and welcoming staff.Fantastic venue for curry lovers. Different from usual curry house menu.if u r in paignton u must try this restaurant!!!!!!!!!!
