If you like fish and chips and that sort of thing Peggotys at Urb El Pilar is brill. You need an appetite and it is not silver service. In summer you need to book (952 883 666). Its KM 168 (or 167) on the westbound carriage of the N340. Shortly after Diana Park Hotel and the slip road immediately opposite the Crown Plaza Hotel. Turn right as you come off the 340 and then immediately left by Brubecks bar. Follow the road along and the first turn on the right goes up to Peggotys - parking a nightmare up the road itself. The restaurant near it is called Place on the Corner and there is a French one next door that I am told is also very nice.If you have the fish at peggotys (in fact anything) make sure you have an appetite - Jaws makes regular appearances on plates there and unfortunately they wont do kids portions although they have a kids menu but not smaller sizes of grown up dishes. I recommend the spit roast myself.

Regular visits from celebs include vera Duckworth, Mike Read, Alan Sugar, Alan Davis plus others - Benny from Crossroads (showing my age) can normally be seen (without beanie hat) walking round looking for Miss Diane at the Benavista commercial centre two minutes away.

There it has its own thread now!! Next you will be wanting directions to my house!

Smiley,
I have never, ever had fish and chips as good as at Peggotys. Not only that, but I was lucky enough to get in on a Saturday without booking, but I wouldn't try that again. I have eaten at the French restaurant, but though it mediocre. Actually, last time I was there it was closed.
Have you ever seen a punter in the big Chinese place?

Well, seems like everyone else there has the same problem. The place is enormous and I have never seen more than half a dozen people there. Maybe its a front for something else. Or maybe I just get to bed too early.

Will report back later...

Wonderful! What more can I say.  They truly are the best fish and chips.

It's so busy there too, you really have to book to make sure you get a table.  The staff were really friendly and the kids got colouring pencils and a menu to colour in....great!  Speedy service too which kept the kids in check.

Note that they don't accept credit or debit cards, cash only.

It's not particularly cheap though.  Two adult cod and chìps, with two kids meals, 4 glasses of wine and a coffee.....came to 56 Euros...but well worth it.

So really recommend it if you're missing English fish and chips.  More details and directions on their website:

Well guys they do say the bests places are hard to find in torreblanca right across the road from the entrance to the fuengirola park hotel is a small fish and chip takeaway who have been there for a number of years who have now expanded and have a smart sit in and a large terrace.

We have been eatin there for years now and have tried every chippy on the coast even peggotys and these guys known as the torreblanca chip shop and cafe bar produce the best cod haddock, chips and all your favourites.
