"Wonderful fish and chips. Only realised why Nettles on the way home in the car. As well as a superb fish and chip shop it’s a dr who museum, great for the kids to visit and fun while waiting. We had the works last night and the food was superb. On the train back to london and telling all my friends about Cornwall fish and chips. Thanks Dr, beautiful food and chat. Great value too"

"Superb fish and chips. Really, really superb. Unfortunately I was a mere tourist so only get to sample once a year or so."

"Delicious fish and chips.
We went for the medium and it was perfect!
Fish was fresh, crispy batter and the best chippy chips I've ever had.
Was quite busy when we arrived (Friday night!) We were greeted with very friendly service and our fish and chips much quicker than expected!
Could not really ask for more.
Thank you Nettles!"
