This casual, beach-side spot serves up the best fish and chips on the island, and one of the best Sunday Roasts, too.
More on Roy's, below...
Tucked away on Crocus Bay, there's a charming English pub that has it all... quiet location, the best fish and chips on the island, and even Anguilla accommodations!
It is known as Roy's Place.
But now, Roy has another "place"...
Roy's Bayside Grill
We first heard of Roy's "new place" through Jackie Pascher, our favorite Anguilla real estate agent. A few days into our vacation, she called us up, "let's do lunch!"
A little while later, our Jeep pulled to a halt in Sandy Ground. We were about to try, what we thought, was a new grill. Little did we know, we were already big fans!
We entered the cool shade of the restaurant and saw Jackie already seated.
We said our "hellos" and "how are yous", and then came the most pressing question of the whole afternoon, "what's good here?!"
"Go with the fish and chips. You won't be disappointed."
Our minds were churning... "fish and chips"... "Roy." This place sure had a lot in common with Roy's Place on Crocus Bay. But we never did put two and two together... until...
It arrived!
Upon the first forkful of fresh, soft cod enveloped in light, hot, crispy batter, we knew something was fishy! (haha!)
Roy's Bayside Grill served just-as-good, if not better, fish and chips than Roy's Place. Jackie then piped up...
"Roy owns and runs the Bayside Grill too. It's his "new place".
Bad news if you're looking for a cheap sleep on the beach, though. Unlike his "Place" on Crocus Bay, there are no Anguilla accommodations.
But, the fish and chips are terrific and is there a better location than Sandy Ground?"
We certainly were not about to argue.
With our eyes feasting on Sandy Ground's beauty and our mouths on true British fish and chips, we were in heaven!

I started this labor of love in Aug/2002, when I was 14.
Thank you for making it the top-visited site about Anguilla.
And thank you to "SBI!," which made it possible.
When you're "on-island," come over and say hi! Until then, I'd love to hear from you right here...
