Ben's Plaice Looe

Awful gluten free fish and chips, which repeated on us for days! Change your oil.

After going to Looe from Redruth for the day especially to sample a fish lunch in Ben's Plaice, it was truly worth all the effort. We had read some very positive reviews about them and wanted to see for ourselves. Both our meals had beautifully cooked fish coated in a very tasty golden batter and the crunchiest chips we've had, we were not disappointed. My wife had Haddock and chips and I had Hake and chips as I always prefer the stronger flavour that Hake has when it's on a menu, the slice of lemon was a nice touch too, offered to all. Ben's have very friendly and knowledgeable staff that greet you; kindly explaining their cooking ethos if you just take the time to ask. The fish and chips were both gluten free as all the food they serve there was. Neither of us require this, it's just provided for everyone. From memory they can also accommodate a coeliac diet, so please ask them, they will gladly tell you I'm sure. The fish bar itself is not in the town centre, but further out as a quick online location check will show. We walked there with the aid of Google maps, so it was a bit of a trek from the harbour, but we were not disappointed in the least. There is ample seating inside and out if you don't want a takeaway, with proper metal cutlery provided, not the tiny wooden fork you tend to see elsewhere. Once our waistlines have subsided sufficiently, I'm sure we will be back.

I went to looe as a holiday, I came into bens plaice to compare it to Cody shack. And was I shocked the food was amazing, service was excellent and I noticed they offered many gluten free options which is perfect for my preference. Overall I would definitely recommend and come back soon!
