Morrishs Fish Restaurant And Takeaway
If you're in Redruth and craving that satisfying crunch of traditional fish and chips done right, Morrishs Fish Restaurant And Takeaway on Buckett's Hill is the spot you’ll want to know about. This isn’t your average seaside chippy-it’s a proper Cornish institution that knows how to deliver classic British comfort food with a twist.
From the moment you roll up, there’s a welcoming vibe that hits you straight away. The restaurant’s layout makes it friendly for everyone-wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance, seating, and even toilet facilities mean that accessibility is clearly a top priority. And whether you're popping in for a quick bite or sitting down for a full dinner with friends, they've got both dine-in and takeaway options to suit the moment. Prefer to enjoy your meal under the sky? There’s also outdoor seating available for those sunny Redruth afternoons.
But let's talk food-the main event. Their Cod served with Chips and Mushy Peas is iconic for a reason. The cod comes perfectly battered, crisp on the outside, moist and flaky inside, and paired with golden chips and thick mushy peas that balance everything out. It’s a plate that gets the basics so right it makes you wonder why you'd ever try fish and chips anywhere else.
Not in the mood for seafood? Don’t worry. Morrishs has variety in spades. The Jumbo Sausage with Chips and Curry Sauce is the kind of hearty, bold flavour combo that sticks with you in the best way. The curry sauce is rich but not overpowering-great for dipping chips or pouring over the whole plate if you're feeling adventurous.
For vegetarians, options like the Halloumi Fries and Salad or the Pea Fritter and Chips prove that you don’t need meat to have a deeply satisfying meal. Vegan? Their Vegan Chips are fried separately, crisped to perfection, and totally guilt-free. You can round things out with a drink-whether that’s a cold beer, a glass of Prosecco, or just a soft drink to keep things simple.
And don’t skip dessert. Honestly, just don’t. The Lava Cake has developed a loyal following of its own, and it’s easy to see why. Warm, gooey, with a rich chocolate center-it’s a sweet finish that’s perfect after a salty main. And if that’s not your thing, you’ll be glad to know Morrishs has a strong tea selection and serves great coffee too, making it a surprisingly good spot for an afternoon wind-down.
One of the things that makes Morrishs stand out is its flexibility. Whether you're swinging by solo for a quick meal (it’s popular for solo dining), grabbing lunch with coworkers, or taking the whole family out for a relaxed dinner, they’ve tailored the experience for all types of diners. Plus, for those in a hurry or keeping things contact-free, there's kerbside pickup and takeaway that’s smooth and reliable.
Another underrated gem here is the salad bar-not something you'd expect at a fish and chip joint, but a fresh and colourful touch that works surprisingly well. You can also explore small plates if you’re more of a grazer than a full-plate kind of person. And yes, there's wine too if that’s your pairing of choice.
Morrishs Fish Restaurant And Takeaway has built its reputation not just on excellent food, but on the kind of consistency and warmth that makes it a local favourite. It’s the kind of place where the chips are always hot, the portions are generous, and the service feels genuinely friendly. If you’ve ever had a disappointing takeaway or a soggy chip moment elsewhere, this place will restore your faith in proper British fish and chips.
So, whether you're hunting for the best fish and chips in Redruth, looking for vegetarian-friendly takeout, or just in need of a comfort-filled lunch break, Morrishs hits the spot on all fronts-delivering flavour, variety, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back.

We love coming here and dine in weekly. The food is excellent and the menu varied. Portions are generous. Customer service cannot be faulted - Gemma, Alison and Abby are all amazing. The best fish and chips in Cornwall!
Went for lunch today. The food and service was excellent. Beautifully decorated with plenty of menu choices. I had cod and chips, which was perfectly cooked. No complaints, will be back again.
This was our first time as we are on holiday. The food was excellent the young servicers were very polite. Will definitely come again next year.
Went for lunch today with my husband and grandad. My grandad went here years ago and he said it's as good as he remembers. The lady who served us was so lovely and polite and made us feel very welcome. The food was delicious I had the loaded katsu and would highly recommend it. The other two had the cod and said it was delicious as well. Will definitely be back again soon.
I’ve been coming to Morrish’s for years and last night was one of the slowest times I’ve been here. It wasn’t fairly busy but seemed to be quite a few staff but slow service. Food was good but the cod was quite salty when received, chips were lovely and golden and the curry sauce was one of the best I’ve had at a chippy. The seafood basket on the other hand was a let down as it, fish was watery and bland. I highly recommend the chocolate fondant with ice cream, really sweet but delicious. Plenty of parking. I will come back but I wish for a bit of faster service.
