Flounders Fish & Chips

Flounders is a traditional fish and chip takeaway at 15 East Street in the centre of Newquay, registered with the local authority as a takeaway and inspected as recently as January 2025, so it is still trading. It is a straightforward chippy rather than a restaurant: fish and chips with the usual sides, eaten out of the paper. A Newquay hostel that sends its guests there singles out the chips, crisp outside and fluffy inside, the light batter and the spicy curry sauce, and notes that staff tend to keep frying until demand dies down, which makes it a useful late evening option after the pubs. East Street is in the middle of town, a few minutes on foot from most of the town centre accommodation. It suits surfers and hostel guests wanting a cheap filling supper, families heading to the beach, and anyone in Newquay who wants an old fashioned fish supper without sitting down.
