plymouth ferry port takeaways ?
We are using the Plymouth Ferry Port this summer.
Can anyone tell me if there are any takeaways within walking distance from the port?
Don't want to leave the caravan unattended.
Thanks

KFC at the Octagon you'll pass it on your way into the ferry port a bit closer than West Hoe.

Several answers were on a duplicate thread which a moderator seems to have managed to delete. Not a clever move!
I have reported this in the hope it can be put right.

I posted a reply yesterday and at that time the post appeared to be duplicated three times. When I looked just now it had no replies then, by magic, two?!

Not realy any good takeways near Millbay, but Plymouth is not a dodgy area and I wouldn't worry about leaving your caravan at the Port. I presume you are coming on the evening and if you want to get a takeaway your best bet would be to come in via Union Street and park by the side of the road between there and the entrance to the port and walk back to Union Street where you can pick up a curry or Fish and Chips

I wouldn't totally agree with you, Jamsdad, although vans left in the dock area should be safe enough - probably.
Union Street and Millbay are not areas to walk around at night unless you're looking for a punch up, or other things.
During daylight hours there shouldn't be too much of a problem providing you watch where you put your feet.Another option could be to utilise supermarket cafes and car parks en route to the docks. Adjacent to the A38 at Lee Mill, near Ivybridge, is a big Tesco with easy access and a huge car park. On the Marsh Mills roundabout on the A38 at the outskirts of Plymouth is a Sainsburys and not far away there is a MacD. That is a busy roundabout, although entry and exit to/from Sainsburys wouldn't take you off route to the Ferry Port.

An excellent idea, David. I believe there is also a café in Millbay Docks.

As I posted earlier there were a number of replies to this post which appeared to just disappear, see ET comment, and as the OP has not come back we don't know if they were seen.
We always dine on board, as said it is a real treat, but if you are on the late ferry, as opposed to the 2030, you may not get to eat till coming on for midnight.
There are a number of options within a 10 minute walk but the only parking is in the lanes prior to check in.
There are chip shops,pubs, KFC etc. The new place right by the lanes is The Dock, we ate there last week and would recommend as the food was excellent.
Once past check in I would not want to leave the outfit as it is the norm to be moving position quite often.
I have found BF helpful with info, both before sailing and at the port, so worth getting in touch if there are any specific questions.

Thank you for all your replies.
I have just found out that 'Atlantic Fryers' in Plymouth will deliver to the Brittany Ferries Port. So fish and chips it is!
I agree that dining on board is a lovely experience and a nice start to the holiday, we would not hesitate to eat on board if on an earlier ferry.
One time on a late ferry from France after our order was taken and before the food was served they closed the restaurant! We are a little cautious now.
Happy summer holidays everyone.

Forget it Sue. Go up into the Dock bar/restaurant at the Plymouth port like the rest of us do. It's right beside the ferry check in queue, upstairs at the marina building. The menu is on their website, the reviews are on Trip Advisor. Your caravan won't be stolen.

I agree 100% with EuroT. Don't risk it.

In that area it's very likely his wife will get the better end of the deal by staying in the van.

Oh dear! Did you perhaps go into the Brittany Ferries Plymouth passenger terminal building, Pippah? There is a sort of canteen/cafeteria there, but the better bar/ brasserie/ restaurant is upstairs in the King Point marina building and usually open till the 10 pm. overnight ferry departs.
