Silver King

Silver King at the lower end of Sidmouth's High Street combines a fish and chip counter with a Cantonese takeaway menu, giving it a broader appeal than most single-cuisine chippies. The fish supper is the main draw — fresh fillets in a light batter, proper chunky chips — and the Chinese side of the menu covers the reliable crowd-pleasers: sweet and sour pork, black bean dishes and fried rice. Staff are consistently described as friendly and the kitchen window keeps a lively pace on weekend evenings. Sidmouth's seafront is a ten-minute walk, making Silver King a practical option for holiday makers heading back from the beach.
