Capels only use the freshest fish from sustainable resources. Unlike many competitors, we are certified by the Marine Stewardship Council. Capels has also received and a 5-star Food Hygiene rating from the UK Food Standards Agency. All our meals are cooked to order in spotless kitchens and preparation rooms. Capels fish and chip restaurant is located in a Victorian structure built in 1899. The first owner was Lord Clinton of Clinton Devon Estates. It is known to have been a fish cafe†since 1949 – possibly before – and was purchased by Emma Amelia Capel in 1956 for £4,000. Today, Capels is the only fish and chip shop in Exmouth with its own restaurant and currently employs several full and part-time staff who work hard to produce high-quality food.
