Good food, but pricey considering it's takeaway. They have stopped doing a breakfast menu which is disappointing.

The restaurant books up very quickly but we had an excellent take away which we ate on the picnic tables outside . Very generous portions so try a child’’a meal if you don’t have a huge appetite . Really great selection of seafood and some other options too.

Went to Britannia@the beach a few times while we were in Beesands ,the food is really nice ,but would advise to book before you go on holiday because it’s only a few tables and gets busy.

We ate here on numerous occasions— plenty of choice of food - best Fish + Chips we have had for ages! Very friendly staff+ nothing too much trouble. Ice cream was lovely too- Turkish Delight flavour was amazing ! Lots of choice for hot + cold drinks too.You can eat in or have a take out- it’s shut on a Monday tho.

This little chippy provides excellent seafood cooked freshly to order and first-class setting to eat.
May 2022
Maybe a few less chips! Food very good. Tasty and team very friendly.
April 2022
Nice, only used as a takeaway - but the portions of chips were ridiculously large - one portion would feed three people, and if you don't know then it's a waste of food! Quite expensive too.
April 2022
Great food, friendly staff
March 2022
Very poor fish and chips takeaway lunch midweek Returned to complain, staff not really interested.
March 2022
Great fish restaurant and lovely last night to our holiday this time - cosy inside and beautiful food.

Fab little place, had a fish and chip takeaway, nice fish was grilled not in batter, a rare thing these days, beautiful setting, right on the sea front.
October 2021
lovely food for sea food lovers and lovely atmosphere - an easy walk along the beach at low tide.

The food service and location of this restaurant and takeaway is outstanding in all ways!

Fantastic food in a great location. The staff are friendly and efficient. Now doing a great trade in take away dishes with lots of informal seating near the beach.
August 2021
Couldnt get into the restaurant as it seems you need to book months in advance. Take away excellent just very expensive. Kids meals double what you'd pay elsewhere.
July 2021
Amazing food. Very sad we weren't able to book a table here during our holiday, but that's how it is currently. We enjoyed a delicious takeaway lunch and several coffees. Lovely staff too. We will be back!
July 2021
I love this place! The fish, chips and minted peas are just amazing! The staff are always friendly and cheerful and the location is stunning. Brilliant- have been many times and always loved it.
June 2021
Love it so great to be able to stroll along for any meal of the day.
June 2021
Fabulous food, location and staff but twice in a week they closed early due to running out of food. There is no shop anywhere near so we had cereal for dinner! The children were happy :)
June 2021
This is our favorite holiday restaurant. Simple food, simply cooked and delicious. We love the fresh fish variety. Speedy, quality food delivered to eat on the beach even when they're super busy. Great they have a license now too. Highly recommended.
June 2021
Absolutely fantastic food and service
April 2021
The best fish dishes anywhere! Love Britannia at The Beach- wonderful, friendly staff and fantastic food. Highly recommended.
April 2021
Great food and friendly staff
November 2020
Fabulous takeaway food served with a smile; this place was a lifesaver during a cold October week staying in lovely Beesands. Recommend the crab sandwiches, preferably with a bottle of their fine pinot :)
October 2020
Best Fish and Chips and Calamari in the area!
October 2020
This is one of my favourite places to eat in the world!!! Need I say more! I absolutely love Britannia- superb fish dishes and the friendliest team ever with great customer service. They serve Yarde Farm ice cream- lots of flavours but the cherry & custard is amazing! You must go!! I'd give it 10 stars if I could!
September 2020
Fantastic food, fantastic service, loved the outdoor eating they did because of COVID.
August 2020

February 2020
Great takeaway fish and chips, served by lovely friendly staff.
February 2020
Probably the best place for Fish in the South Hams...and that's saying something. We're regular visitors and it's great food in or out. Good atmosphere; everything is right about this place. Book ahead or just turn up for take-away fish and chips.
November 2019
Only used once but good food and good value.
November 2019
Excellent fish restaurant, definitely worth visit either on foot from Torcross or by car. Dogs welcome, relaxed atmosphere with stunning view.
September 2019
Amazing sea food. Lovely staff and highly recommended but book in advance. We are there for 3 nights and loved every meal. The chef cooked me monkfish by special request. Fabulous
September 2019
This is one of our favourite places to eat. Went 4 times in a week. Lovely food and friendly staff
September 2019
Best fish dinner ever. Really enjoyed our evening.
September 2019
We had a take away - it was a really busy evening - but we were really disappointed with the quality of the food - sorry. Chips not very appetising. Scampi dry and looked old. Fish lots of batter.. The scallops however were excellent!
August 2019
Fish and chips to die for, delicious fresh fish all cooked to order...can’t wait to revisit. Well done someone has got this just right.
August 2019
This is a fantastic place to eat . We had been here previously when it was literally a shack - prone to strong winds and gales! However it is now ensconced in much more solid and permanent surroundings. The food is excellent - a wonderful choice of seafood dishes - all freshly prepared . The staff are lovely and the service is great. Incredibly good value- plus you can take your own wine for a small corkage charge . thoroughly recommended for everyone who loves fish and seafood.
June 2019
completely refurbished Excellent food
friendly staff
June 2019
The newly built Cafe is brilliant. They seem to be open all the time. Very nice takeaway, great chips to accompany the fish.
June 2019
It’s a new look on the outside but the food very much of the same high quality at the Britannia in Beesands.
The new ‘shack’ doesn’t really do it justice with a completely renovated contemporary dining room in keeping with the seaside location and beach hut vibe with excellent views of the bay. There seems to be loads more space too and the higher ceiling gives light to the treats being served from the kitchen.
Dave and the team in the kitchen maintain their high standards of food preparation and making dishes that look and taste fantastic, the front of house team are equally as attentive making a great relaxed dining experience.
I would have no hesitation in recommending breakfast, lunch or dinner at the Britannia so come back if you have been before and see the changes or give it a go if you never have been. ????????
June 2019
Unfortunately this was still being worked on even though it says reopening Spring 2019 so had to go into either Kingsbridge or Dartmouth for provisions.
March 2019
Was gutted that is places had closed down the day before we got there was looking forward to trying this places. We did have a bit of luck we had just got there after a 5 hour drive not knowing it was closed and they were putting food in car oh the smell it was so good that's when they told us about colseing down. But they did lets us try some of the food they had cooked to feed 200 kids and omg it was lush . Just wish I could try more of it . Good luck with the new building
September 2018
Delicious fish & chips & Crevettes in garlic butter with salad from the takeaway eaten on the beach on a lovely summers evening. Amazing selection of fish & shellfish from Scallops to John Dory. Eat in & bring your own bottle policy. They are planning a refurb end of season so check their Facebook page before you go to check on progress.
September 2018
Think the shop could offer much more and it is quite pricey .
We had take away fish and chips which were excellent x
August 2018
Great find. Fresh fish gorgeous and welcome advice on how to cook. Takeaway fish and chips fantastic. Ate in one day - amazing! Staff really lovely.
July 2018
This is one of our favourite restaurants
A fantastic selection of fish and seafood
We are here four evenings in one week!
June 2018
What a beautiful place to eat in a perfect location total able to eat alfresco or dine in. Both breakfast and dinner was perfectly cooked and presented the staff so friendly. Able to have all menu choices as takeaway and site and eat overlooking the English channel, perfect day.
June 2018
A fantastic place to eat really good fresh fish simply prepared and the added bonus is you can take your own wine ( or beer) as they are not licensed. It is quite small so you probably need to book especially in the summer months . Excellent value !
June 2018
The Shack is fabulous - brilliant staff, lovely food and the most amazing setting. Treat yourselves and go along!
June 2018
You do have to book in advance because it is so popular. The seafood was up to the usual high standard, and the whole brown crab (order in advance) was exceptional!!
June 2018
We always book a meal here when we stay in Beesands. We did have a good meal here but perhaps not as good as previous years and the drainy smell by our table was a bit off-putting. Friendly staff!
May 2018
Fantastic Food and atmosphere, great place and perfect location. Been visiting the Shack now for over 6 years.
Fish and Chips are PHENOMENAL as is all the other food.
May 2018
Very good fish and chips from the take out.
September 2017
Visited a few times during our week in Beesands and also had takeaway. Great food and lovely staff who really know how to look after their customers. Even went out to rescue lost customers after a local road was closed. Will definitely visit again. Make sure you book though, they will squeeze you in if they can but they are always busy.
July 2017
The best food by a mile in this area of South Devon. We had a lovely evening sat on a bench opposite - we brought our own wine as there's no licence (but this saves on costs!). We had the freshly caught and cooked lobster, 'crack-your-own' crab, and a beautiful bowl of mussels. The lady owner or manager couldn't have been more helpful - we turned up on a Friday night with no reservation, and she went out of her way to accommodate us. If you only go to one place to eat whilst on holiday in the area, then it has to be here. Yes, rustic. Yes, simple. But simple fresh food, cooked amazingly well....and what a view!!! Go with friends and make an evening of it! Cannot recommend highly enough!!
June 2017
A fave to do- grab fish & chips from their takeaway and sit and eat on the beach. Simply perfect.
June 2017
Wonderful! Such delicious food and friendly staff.
June 2017
Had a lovely meal at The Britannia. Super fresh fish , great people and it's a BYO. What more could you wish for! Necessary to book ahead as there are only a few tables.
May 2017
Great food, friendly and attentive staff, dogs made welcome , just perfect.
April 2017
Managed to squeeze us in for an early evening booking - so glad they did.
Great food, and top notch service from very friendly staff. Seafood Jumbalaya is wonderful, and rather filling.
If you are nearby, and are able to get a reservation do - if not, try the takeaway and each on the beach :)
