Bamboo Topsham Fryer

The Bamboo Topsham Fryer (now trading as the Beijing Topsham Fryer) occupies a unit on the High Street of Topsham, the quayside village on the River Exe with its distinctive Dutch-influenced Georgian merchant houses and the Topsham Museum in a former sailmaker's loft. The kitchen operates a dual menu of freshly prepared fish and chips alongside an extensive Cantonese Chinese selection — an unusual combination that has served the village and its Exeter commuter population for many years. Reviewers describe the Chinese food as the particular strength, with crispy duck and fried rice cited as standouts. The High Street is within walking distance of the Exe estuary mudflats, an important wading-bird site.
