    INCREDIBLE! I am a coeliac and enjoyed a gluten free cod and chips with a side of mushy peas and my goodness, it was absolutely delightful. The fish was so good I had to go back and double check it was gluten free because I couldn't quite believe it! Would highly recommend 😁 The staff are lovely and the picture really doesn't do it justice, the batter was light and the chips were the perfect amount of crispy! The paper was near enough dry once I'd finished which just goes to show that it wasn't swimming in grease! Honestly would not be going anywhere else for my fish & chips!

    The best gluten free fish and chips and curry sauce my wife has tasted. If the wasn't good enough the portions are generous too, granted only been to one chip shop in Dawlish but only if Frank's was closed would we consider going somewhere else. Keep up the good work.

    Was recommended Frank's Fryer by customers of ours who raved about the place in December last year (2021). What struck me was the fact they do Gluten Free stuff which is an absolute blessing and a treat for my wife Becs. Well we finally got to visit this absolute gem of a place. Friendly, down to earth Lancashire folk running the place. Brilliantly clean establishment, and indoor seating if you fancy eating in. Not a full on restaurant but stools positioned along the front of the shop. The food was absolute top draw. My wife who is a celiac, finally after 20 years can have more than just chips. She had a beaming smile on her face as she saw a GF menu. She had a superb crispy GF battered sausage, chips and a lovely GF curry sauce. I'm not GF but I must say the batter on the sausage is better than a normal battered one. The curry sauce was very tasty and a good spice kick to it. I had the cod (1 size and absolutely huge) with large chips and mushy peas. The portions were plentiful. It's very rare in Devon to get a decent large portion. Took me a while to adjust from Birmingham massive portions to skimpy Devon portions when I moved here back in the early 90's. Franks place are generous! Honestly, Frank's Fryer is superb and we will definitely be back. We cannot find fault with it based on our first time visit. TIS BRILLIANT! Thanks guys for a superb Fish Friday meal 😀 John & Becs x

    We were told to try Frank's as it was the best chippy around so sat we decided to treat ourselves while we were at the van and can I say we were not disappointed at all, I had pie and chips daughter had jumbo sausage in batter hubby had fish and chips. We always share chips with my daughter (she only has a mouthful at best) so hubby ordered a large and a medium well we could have just done with a large because the portions we massive, I will definitely be using Frank's again and suggesting to everyone that stays down in dawlish to go there. Thankyou
