Eva Recommends…. Peggotty’s Fish & Grill
This restaurant and takeaway is now my favourite place to go for fish & chips with friends or family. Seating around 80 people, it also has a lovely outside seating area for those warm summer evenings. There are two sister restaurants in the Marbella area, my friends and I visited the one in Benavista. Family run, and known as the celebs choice for fish & chips, it’s fair to say we had pretty high expectations…
Located between Estepona and San Pedro, just off the main road opposite the Crown Plaza Hotel, it was easy to find, and had outside parking.
The food
Greeted at the door with a smile, the waitress was friendly and welcoming, taking all our drinks and starter orders. If you’re looking for a satisfying meal, then Peggotty’s is the place to be. The portions of fish were very large, cod especially. Smaller portions are also available for the more modest appetite. Everything was perfectly cooked to order and very tasty. The whole ‘rack of rib’ in particular was very nice, as was the spit roast chicken. Vegetarians are also catered for. Desserts were lovely, I went for the warm apple pie with cream. It was presented very well, and thoroughly rounded off the meal.
The Service
The service was excellent. The waitresses were all polite and helpful making sure we had everything we wanted throughout the meal. The food and drinks were delivered promptly, and topped up when needed. The manager was also very helpful with giving us info on what my friend could eat as she had special dietary needs. All the staff were lovely, wrapping up anything we couldn’t eat and saying bye to us all as we left.
Décor & Atmosphere
The Décor was very clean and modern. After it got dark, the oil lamps on the tables were lit which gave a lovely cosy atmosphere throughout. The general feeling of the restaurant was very friendly, and we all felt we could have stayed there all evening for after dinner drinks. The playlist was very easy listening and added to the pleasant atmosphere.
The Price
The prices were very reasonable, there is something for everyone depending on appetite, and you really get your value for money here. The portions are such a good size, we were very satisfied. For less than €20 you could get a large main course of fish, chips, peas, tartar sauce and a dessert. On top of that, childrens meals are half price with every adult meal, so excellent value for the whole family.Definitely worth it, we will be back again!
