To celebrate the iconic dish, 2Chill, a website that enables leisure seekers to recommend places to eat & drink brings you their five best fish and chip shops in Cornwall. Becks Fish and Chips, St Ives St Ives is a real Cornish jewel of a town, and home to hidden gem chip shop Becks. Crispy batter, flaky fish and crunchy chips are on sale at this seaside venue, where you can shelter from the sun and sit in, or takeaway to enjoy at the water’s edge. 2Chill member Susan Griffin rated the eatery five stars, and said: “Arguably one of the best is Becks Fish and Chips near St Ives. The batter’s crispy, not greasy, the fish is beautifully flaky, and the chips have got the all-important crunch. And they don’t scrimp on the portion size here either. Chip Ahoy, Padstow
