Reviews Overview

Most Liked

The fish and chips here are the stars of the show, often praised for their perfect batter and succulent cod. Diners rave about the generous portions of thick-cut chips, which are crispy and fluffy.

Curry sauce has become a must-try highlight among regulars. It's flavorful and complements the fish and chips tremendously.

The friendly, efficient service enhances the overall experience, making it a welcoming spot to dine in or take away as you explore the area.

Dining in allows guests to soak in the cozy atmosphere, while takeout options are perfect for enjoying meals by the sea.

Most Disliked

During peak hours, wait times can sometimes be longer than expected, especially on busy Saturdays. For those in a hurry, visiting during off-peak times can make a big difference.

Some diners mention that seating can get crowded during popular meal times, making it less comfortable for groups, especially during the lunch rush.

While the menu is extensive, some patrons wish to see more variety in the vegetarian options, although there are still several delicious choices available.

A few customers find that certain dishes can be inconsistent, so if you have a specific craving, it's worth asking the staff for recommendations on the day.

Stopped by this chip shop and was really impressed! The service was fast, efficient, and super friendly exactly what you want when hungry with kids. The food was fresh, hot, and cooked perfectly. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Curry sauce is a must. 🙌🏻

Just had the cod and chips takeaway today from here with mushy peas. Staff are very friendly and prices are reasonable. We decided to take away today but I will definitely sit in next time I am in Aberystwyth

I was bikepacking and ended up here by chance. Lovely friendly owner. Fish and chips cooked fresh whilst I waited. Great value, excellent quality. You can eat in, but the owner packaged them well, so I could carry them on my bike to eat on the seafront. Besides many miles of cycling and being very hungry, I couldn't eat all the chips! Highly recommended.

Lovely chips!! Got a couple of large portions of chips to take away and sit on the beach to eat. No disappointment!! When they say large, it really is a generous portion. The chips were perfectly cooked, not too greasy but lovely and crispy. The guy that served us was so lovely too. Sorry i didn’t ask for his name but he was really lovely.

Beautiful fish and chips. Very lightly battered fish, the only way I like it. All freshly cooked to order. Washed down with the best cuppa I've had in ages.
