Smith's Meals On Legs

Smith's Meals on Legs operates from Church Street in Ilfracombe, close to the high street and within easy reach of the harbour. The name is a long-standing local piece of irony — a takeaway that is emphatically not on legs, but firmly planted in its Church Street unit. The menu focuses on chicken and chips in the mould of a traditional fast-food fryer, serving the town's daytime and early-evening trade. Church Street sits just off Ilfracombe's pedestrian core, and Smith's occupies the kind of unpretentious position that serves the local residential community rather than the harbourside tourist trade. A straightforward, reliable chicken-and-chips operation in a town that does not lack for fast food options.
