DRAKES CHIPS ARE LEGENDARY…

sorry – we do not offer any gluten free items

We are just takeaway for the immediate future – we apologize particularly as the nights draw in and the temperatures drop, but we do not have enough space inside the shop to safely distance customers and therefore have made the sad decision to not open the restaurant for the time-being.

F.A.Qs

How Do I Order From Drakes?  Online via Click & Collect service at  justeat.co.uk – and please check your confirmation time so that you don’t arrive too early to pick up your food as we wish to maintain safe social distancing.

How do I get a delivery?  you can use justeat.co.uk if you live about less than a mile from Drakes.  We will cook the food and our driver will bring it to you, but if you live a bit further than that then please use ubereats.com  (having placed your order we will receive it via uber and when ready an uber driver/rider will pick it up and deliver it to you)

 

How does Click & Collect work?  Using justeat.co.uk  It will ask for your postcode. You can place your order and arrange to pick it up outside our front door at the allocated confirmation time given to you by justeat

 

It won’t let me pre order?  No, it only lets you order lunchtime for today or tomorrow, but after 4pm you can order for the evening today or tomorrow. (yes we find that frustrating too)

 

Its saying delivery only, but I’d like to collect?   at the beginning there is a line that says I want to collect, please click on that

Nobody is answering your phone? sorry about that, no very sorry about that but we are a small team here at Drakes and we cannot cope with all 3 delivery tablets, cooking, packaging, delivering and operating phone orders at the same time, so we have had to stop answering the phone

 

When are best times to order?  Well, busy times are 6.00pm to 7.30pm so outside of those hours will mean a quicker delivery, last orders are just before 8.30 pm and most days we begin taking orders by 11.30am

 

can i phone and pay for my order?  sorry not at the moment, we have no change and no credit card facility.

 

We hope that before too long some sense of normality will return to the shop and we can begin to welcome faces back inside, but for the moment we would like to say thank you to those loyal customers who despite the inconvenience of online ordering have continued to be just that – our loyal customers,

 

“The local’s word for fish & chips!”

FISH & CHIP TAKEAWAY

Drakes was opened in the early 1990’s and the core menu has remained steadfast with unusual additions added over the years. Now fish such as Skate, Rock and Lemon Sole can be eaten as well as the traditional and amazingly popular North Atlantic Cod, Haddock and Plaice.

The large takeaway area regularly sees queues out the door and food is cooked to order keeping a light crispy batter.  

MSC certified fish is purchased in great quantity from trawlers by our appointed agent so we can offer the best quality product at very reasonable prices. Our potato supplier is just outside Newton Abbot and delivers twice a week so we have the freshest potatoes possible.

Generations of locals know these chips which are peeled and chipped on site daily and cooked freshly throughout the day to produce a slightly softer “chip-shop” chip, delicious with lashings of salt and our special non-brewed vinegar.  Our homemade mushy peas are soaked and seasoned on site daily so they are green and fresh and delicious.  A mildly Chinese curry sauce is unique to Drakes and make the chips taste wonderful.

 

In the present uncertain circumstances we have made the decision to temporarily close the Restaurant/Eat In area of Drakes to safeguard our customers and members of staff.  We hope that this virus will soon be a thing of the past, and therefore have not removed the menu from this website.
