Barnacles Chip Shop in Conwy

Excellent food and service for a reasonable price. It was a little bit too hot in the restaurant so slightly uncomfortable after eating a delicious hot meal.

Yummy fried fish, please try roe, it's juicy and cheap 😁😋

£3.70 for a regular (small) portion of chips, that were just ok. The lady serving scowled at every customer, but the male cooks always seem friendly.

The best chips that I have eaten in years. Freshly cooked by friendly staff.

Always lovely gluten free food and lovely staff!

Fantastic choice on menu eat in or take out plus good value

Awful chips, frozen, tastless. Mushy peas looked like they had been reheated many times. Fish was OK, small. Bread was just plonked on table, not cut up. Very disappointed & too expensive for what it was.

Good selection of food Good service pleasant staff

Hmmm. Not the greatest food, but the staff were great.

The worst fish and chips I've ever had the fish was just so small and chips was not fresh

Never been here before. Got takeaway, nice friendly staff and very decent chips. Fish batter was a tad thin so it fell apart and was difficult to eat with a tiny wooden fork, but it was really nice regardless. They have a bunch of gluten free options too for those that need it. And they take card payment. Will definitely be back.

Very tasty fish and chips with mush peas

Pretty good gluten free fish and chips. We had take away and sat outside as it was a nice day and the cafe was full. The gluten free batter was good, and the chips were typically British as in a bit soggy for my liking. Asking you to pay extra for a disposable knife/fork when you are paying for fish was a bit much. The 10p wasn't the issue but they didn't tell me ... Luckily my friend had cash otherwise we would have been eating fish with a chip fork !!

Pleasant staff and lovely atmosphere showing the old landscape of Llandudno! But the food for the price is a meh, chips and coleslaw were lovely and curry was spot on!! But the burger was on the thick side and the bap was bland and had a stale texture!

Vegan options are absolutely superb. A proper chippy though.

The staff were very nice especially nicking she was lovely stopped and had a chat with us very nice person well done

Arrived in Llandudno after a very long drive in search of food, really fancying cod & chips. After searching for places to dine in the area that catered for Gluten Free, found Barnacles restaurant & takeaway. Greeted with a warm welcome on entrance, shown straight to our table with menu's, we placed our order for cod, chips, mushy peas & curry sauce, of which all was Gluten Free, so we were very happy. Our food arrived & we were Not disappointed at all, with all freshly cooked to order, we enjoyed our meal, fully cleaning our plates, not wanting to leave anything. We can not fault this restaurant & it's team, thank you to them all. We returned again 4 days later for Gluten Free battered sausage, chips & curry sauce, yet another enjoyable meal, we can not fault the food or this restaurant. Many Thanks again to all of the team working today who were happy to help.

I really do not know why this place has not been shut down..the fish was disgusting as were the staff. Over priced is an understatement.. The fish was basically dry due to being kept in the hot cabinet for probably days. Staff behind the counter should have been in a rehab. Shame really as llandudno is a beautiful place ...I will never spend my money in that chop shop again. Well better quality chips and fish in plenty other chip shops..

Bought jacket potato from here, did not provide any salt and pepper, nor any cutlery.

Went to take out area my son went in to order our family’s food they were extremely rude to him. The food was really bad the portions were small we through it straight in the bin. It’s weird because we ate in the restaurant a month ago and it was like it was serving different food it was nice. Not ordering again. Lost a good order here as we normally spend £60-£120 each time not anymore

Lovely fish and chip lunch. Included a pot of tea and bread and butter. Great value on Llandudno High Street.

Delicious food and excellent service! I have been a few times and I always prefer it to other places. I highly recommend them.

The gluten free menu is brilliant and the food was lovely. Staff were great and friendly too!

Gluten free menu. Fantastic food !. Very helpful staff. Eat in or takeaway. I will definitely go there again ..

Sunday 4.30pm 6/4/25. Called in because of reviews for Vegan options. Didn’t stay as the place was really grubby, serviettes, chips and other bits of food littering the floor. Menus needed a good wipe as did the table. I know it was late Sunday afternoon and Llandudno had been busy but hygiene levels were not good. Cafe had a few people in but certainly not many. Most disappointed as we were looking forward to trying their food.

Beautiful food but unfortunately was ripped off with the bill. Ordered a child's meal because my wife is unable to eat big size meals. All acceptable with the waitress until the bill arrived charged £8.50 for a child's fish and chips. Then £2 for a small pot of mushy peas. When questioned the staff apparently a notice is displayed behind the counter 🤬🤬🤬🤬BEWARE WHAT YOU ORDER THE PRICE CHANGES

Ordered chips, sausage and egg. Sausage and egg where fine. But my chips, (compared to my friends) where awful. They looked like reheated leftovers. And to top it off. There was a hair on my plate. (I left most of the chips because of the hair.) When I mentioned it to the male staff member. I got attitude, rather than an apology. Being accused of "Doing that." When I hadn't and didn't want anything. I just wanted to make them aware. Any thoughts of getting dessert, went out the window after that. Won't be going back.

Este lugar solía servir muy buena comida fresca, hoy fui y tenía patatas fritas de pescado y guisantes y era totalmente incomible! El pescado solo estaba rebozado por un lado y el lado que estaba rebozado era grueso y duro, por dentro el pescado era viscoso, las papas fritas solo estaban cocidas y muchas de ellas tenían ojos y trozos negros y toda esta maravillosa comida estaba cocinada en grasa vieja porque tenía ese regusto horrible! No sé lo que le hicieron a los guisantes pero también sabían raro. Esta deliciosa comida costó £ 11. 60 que era un placer para mí y una pérdida completa de dinero, una pena ya que este lugar solía ser mi lugar favorito en mi camino a casa y el personal es encantador. ¿Qué ha pasado! No volveré a irme 😢

Traditional fish and chips...fabulous! A homely little fish and chip restaurant, served promptly by friendly staff, great quality food at a reasonable price...we loved it x

Very very disappointed haddock and chips twice took away fish were very small and and thin, possibly the smallest i've had, last year they were very good but not now spent £24 wont be going again. Dont normaly gave reviews but so annoyed and feel ripped off

Very good gluten free menu, I found it difficult to find gluten free options in Llandudno and we found Barnacles and wow there menu was fantastic my daughter and I absolutely will call again each time we visit Llandudno. Staff were so friendly and food was very good. Thank you so much guys

I've had several meals here and it has a very good range of vegan and gluten free foods. Staff are very friendly and very accommodating for any dietary needs/restrictions. Good portion sizes and you can bring your dog inside with you while you eat. Would highly recommend you stop in and give them a go or at least get something from their chippy side if you don't have time to sit in

The gluten free menu looked interesting, but not every thing was available, as I am vegetarian as well, that means an even smaller choice. The waitress was very helpful and I chose 3 bean chili and rice. It was very tasty. My husband had pie and chips, another veg would have been appreciated.

Really good Gluten free and Vegan menu.

Normalmente compramos Fish and Chips para llevar y comerlos en el baile, pero hacía tanto frío que decidimos por primera vez comer. Me alegro de que lo hiciéramos. El personal hizo todo lo posible para ser amable. Nuestra camarera era Ceri y ella era tan atento para asegurarse de que estábamos contentos con el servicio y nuestra comida. Tuve Eglefino, papas fritas, guisantes húmedos, pan y una bebida por menos de £ 16. Estaba delicioso. El pescado se cayó de mi tenedor y las patatas fritas eran como caseras, lo que era encantador. Si no quieres té con tu comida preparada, puedes elegir otro refresco. Iremos a Barnacles la próxima vez que visitemos Llandudno.

Best sit in chippy in Llandudno. Really gorgeous food and quick service. HUGE vegan and GF menu (I went through a spell of veganism and this place was amazing!). Highly recommend, fresh food and good service.

Really good chips and fish . Will definitely go again , Even gave our dog a free sausage .

We usually go here for a portion of chips when in llandudno in fact we went on the 4th March and they were still as tasty as ever good value for money and you get a lot tasty as ever would recommend.

The takeaway area is grotty, no doubt about it. Needs some money spent on it. No need to spend on the food though, the haddock and chips I ordered were the best I have tasted in Wales. Would have got 5 stars if the place looked more inviting.

Chips are lovely, but not a real sausage, no meat in it! Maybe I got a gluten free option.... go back for the chips

This visit took place on a Tuesday afternoon in Feb25. The shop is located on the main shopping area, Mostyn St, in Llandudno and is easy to find by its canopy adjacent to the bus stop. It has two sides to the premises. One is a take out with seating outside and the other is a café style restaurant, with toilet. It is accessible via wheelchair and enough room to manoeuvre. I ordered chips, which are available by the bowl ! Service is quick and efficient and the order was cooked fresh. The chips were made from good quality, tasty potatoes, cooked in clean and hot oil. This made them come out golden brown yet still fluffy inside. They were delicious. No other food was bought as this was a mid afternoon snack. Drinks are also available, good variety of both alcoholic and non. The restaurant was clean, well kept and decorated with amazing enlarged photos of the local area of bygone times.

Good fish and chips, accepts cash only when we visited. Good portions.

The fish and chips was wonderful and my friend's baked potato was a whole plateful of things. The high point to me was the banana split which was first rate, my friend was very pleased with the novelty cow ice cream!

El pescado con patatas fritas era maravilloso y la patata al horno de mi amigo estaba lleno de cosas. El punto más alto para mí fue la división de plátano que era de primera clase, mi amigo estaba muy contento con el helado de vaca novedad!

Can’t say it was bad but can’t say it was good, chips where a tiny bit undercooked but edable, I had haddock’s and the batter was ok and fish quality was ok. The only thing I would say was the food had a metallic taste to it u sure on the cause of this. 3 stars as it’s just below ok but nothing special at all

Expensive for portion size but good quality

Ate in, the young lady waiting on was excellent, and I think she was new. The food was a bit disappointing compared to other visits. The portion of mushy peas was insufficient to go with the rest of the meal. The batter on the cod was greasy, the spread on the bread was not butter, and the coffee was bitter. It would be better to offer cod, chips, mushy peas at a slightly reduced price rather than calling it a "supper" and charging the customer extra for poor quality add-ons which they probably don't really want.

10 € para el trozo más delgado de bacalao, olía a pescado y la masa era muy grasosa... Solo sirven un pequeño café £ 3 . . . se siente como si me hubieran estafado! Nunca más 😞 Creo que la zona de comer podría beneficiarse de una buena limpieza a !

Good food,the only problem was the time,i have waited 20 min for someone to get my order plus another 30+35 minutes for food,the first waitress was a bit cold,with me she looks like she had enough that day, furthermore i had bigger expectations, knowing the reviews from website.

Our go to place for takeaway fish and chips in Llandudno. Not the prettiest or largest takeaway and can get busy.Have been many times and have had fresh cooked fish which is not greasy and tasty chips.Portions can vary as to who serves you,but never had a bad meal.Prices have increased ,but that's the case anywhere.

Great gluten fish and chips. The gluten free chips had a good colour to them at other chips they have looked anemic. We went twice during a weekend stay at Llandudno. Very good service too

Great gluten free options and friendly staff !!

Good value for money But service was a bit lacking.

Had a great traditional seaside fish and chip supper experience. The quality of the food was great, it was hot and tasty. The young waitress who looked after us was helpful, cheerful and really friendly.

Excellent customer service Josh was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Staff were friendly and attentive. Excellent customer service.Josh was really helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.

We had a really great time at this place, the food was so good and a great hospitality. Very satisfied with the service and thanks to Clara for making us feel so comfortable.

Sat outside the restaurant with our dog. Very generous portions and excellent chips!

They have a gluten free menu and a vegan menu. The choice and care for a coeliac is excellent and the staff are friendly and welcoming

Very disappointing visit having read many excellent reviews. There was a dog on the takeaway area on our arrival. We visited the restaurant for a meal and there was a couple inside with another dog. The waitress made a fuss of the dog patting and stroking it with both hands before returning to clear other tables without washing her hands. How can a food establishment achieve a 5 star hygiene rating to serve food with staff with this mentality? We left without making a purchase.

Amazing service from the guys at Barnacles. The fish & chips were fabulous too. Our dog even got a complimentary sausage! Would highly recommend.

Full vegan menu - fabulous! Barnacles chip shop in Llandudno remains one of my favourites! They have a full vegan menu and lovely staff, who are friendly and really know what they are doing. This time, I had the whopping great Moving Mountain Hot Dog, followed by a frangipani tart. Fabulous!

Lovely freshly cooked food, reasonably priced and lots of choice

Returned here as it has great vegan choices.

Food was very good, catering for different dietary needs. Small fish & chips were perfect, although £2.40 for a portion of mushy peas is rather ludicrous

This was probably the worst meal ever! The cheese and leek quiche was tasteless slop, the chips were hard, lukewarm and full of black eyes. Lasagne was mainly pasta and very sloppy, sausages were cheap and poor quality. I didn’t eat mine but didn’t raise it with the staff as I was with family. The prices we were charged for such inferior food was outrageous, £11.95 and £10.50!! I would sreer clear!

Brilliant vegan options! The chips are true chippy chips. Really quick service too.

What a fantastic Vegan menu to see in a chippy, I'm from a seaside town that has dozens of chippies and none of them have anywhere near this, the best we get is a pea fritter. After a long day walking around Llandudno, this menu was an amazing sight, we each had a Vegan Hot dog and we had a battered sausage and chips on the side. The moving mountains hotdogs were extremely good with onions, yellow mustard and ketchup. We both thought it was probably the best Vegan hotdog we'd ever had 😋 As for the battered sausage it was lovely with a light batter and cooked perfectly, my wife isn't a huge fan of it but I loved it.

Order fish chips .It came with out peas or bead and butter .This was at a extra cost ! The quality was only just acceptable .The total bill including a pot of tea was £31.00 .

Excellent fish and chips, also good gluten free options

Fui hoy. Tomé el garbanzo de camote. Curry .. patatas fritas harina de arroz ok. amigo dijo que había tenido mejor pescado y patatas fritas en llandudno. el inconveniente para mí era que nunca vi a nadie limpiar una mesa. eran migas en el asiento donde me senté cerca también. las mesas no parecían demasiado limpias. no me gustaría ir de nuevo. lo siento. voy aquí y allá y verlos limpio mesas. he limpiado mesas yo mismo como un trabajo .. pero siempre recogía ollas y limpiaba la mesa. de inmediato.

Best gluten free options by far, This place sets the standard

Of the various fish & chips I tried during my stay in Wales, this is the one that disappointed me. I wasn't crazy about the quality of the product.

Esposo y yo fuimos dentro de este café para nuestro almuerzo de ayer por la tarde (miércoles). Es servicio de mesa pero hay que ir al mostrador a pagar. La camarera era servicial. Esposo disfrutó de sus 2 huevos n chips. Me gustaron mis papas fritas de lasaña. Las patatas fritas eran gruesas y crujientes. ¡La lasaña era ligeramente grasienta debido a su generosa cobertura de queso! Ambas comidas eran realmente calientes, lo que hace un cambio bienvenido en estos días. Teníamos una olla de té más una olla de agua caliente, así que pudimos tomar 2 bebidas cada uno. Nuestro almuerzo llegó a un total de £ 25. 55 (pagos con tarjeta aceptada) que es un poco más de lo que nos gusta pagar habitualmente, pero en general estábamos satisfechos con todo. Los baños separados masculino y femenino están en el extremo más alejado de la cafetería.

Tuve que venir a trip advisor para calificar nuestra excelente visita a Barnacles ayer, mientras que en Llandudno. Había buscado gluten - pescado con papas fritas gratis de antemano ya que mis dos hijos son celiacos. Nuestra visita no decepcionó! Cinco de nosotros (más perro) entramos en la parte de la cafetería de la tienda de pescado y patatas fritas y fueron cálidamente recibidos por la camarera que trajo menús. Había una gran selección de gluten - comida libre en el menú, que era genial y la camarera explicó acerca de freidoras separadas / reducir la contaminación cruzada. Pedimos nuestra comida (incluyendo una salchicha para el perro). Un tazón de agua fue traído para nuestro perro y las cinco comidas salieron rápidamente. Todos estaban deliciosos. Nosotros los consumidores de gluten tuvimos especiales de bacalao (bacalao rebozado, patatas fritas, guisantes humectantes, pan, mantequilla y una bebida) y mis hijos tenían gluten - nuggets libres, patatas fritas y curry y bacalao rebozado, patatas fritas y curry (con gluten - vinagre libre también). Mi hija no podía comer todo el suyo y le preguntamos si se podía encajonar para llevar a casa y esto no se hizo ningún problema. No puedo recomendar este lugar lo suficientemente alto. Una delicia sin gluten para mis hijos y también una experiencia fantástica para el resto de nosotros. Muy recomendable 👌

Great gluten free fish and chips. Licenced to sell alcohol - bonus!

Best fish and chips I have ever had superb and the staff were excellent

They queue out the door for a seat in here. Outstanding fish n chips. Food is just lovely, quick service and friendly staff. Needs a bit of TLC with the decor, as now feels very tired.

I've been to barnacles several times before. Prices have gone up extortionately. Ordered veggie hot pot @ £9.95 which then appeared on the bill as £12.95 because apparently i hadn't specified gluten free which was very confusing and unfair. Challenged this but was informed that the higher price would still be charged. Lack of transparency and clarity over prices. Customer service also poor won't be returning. Not value for money.

Portion size is a little small but the chips were lovely and although the fish was a decent size it was a little greasy. Gluten free choices were absolutely spot on. Worth a look

Orden de llevar. El menú vegano era extenso, preparado por separado y absolutamente delicioso! Recomiendo encarecidamente la salchicha vegana rebozada!

Excellent choice of Gluten Free a separate menu and fryer . Pies sausages gravy & curry sauce also Gluten free . Far the best chippy came across with the amazing choice of options

Googled this area for something to eat. Barnacles popped up, and wow, what a menu. I needed something for gluten-free and vegan. I was not disappointed. I had so much to choose from. I have never seen so many choices ever. The food was fantastic. I will certainly be popping back while I'm staying at Llandudno

A day out in Llandudno is never complete without lunch at Barnacles Fish and Chips.The food is always freshly cooked. Portions are generous and very tasty, serving staff are pleasant and helpful. A good plaice( pardon the pun) to eat.

On holidays for a week and today was our 2nd visit to Barnacles for a takeaway. The food yet again was outstanding. The staff are a pleasure to deal with so friendly, helpful & hard-working keep up the good work gang best chippy by far in North Wales 👍 👏💯🙌❤️

We ate dinner here .. got rather busy at 7pm … would go back again, good service and good food

What a great find in Llandudno. Lovely crispy, freshly cooked Gluten-free Haddock and Chips, with Mushy Peas. The lads behind the counter were very busy, but really friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. They use environmentally friendly boxes for takeaways, which is great. Just be careful if eating on your knee as these can leak vinegar onto your clothes. 5 Stars all round.

Huge separate menu for vegans 🙌 i visit here pretty much every time I'm in llandudno! Chips are super fresh and tasty, great value for money and the fact they caterer for all dietary requirements they are by far the best chippy in town. Update Visted last week and the quality has gone down. Even the condiments on the tables are the cheapest you could get. No more Hellmann's vegan mayo either. Instead you get it in a tiny pot from a cheap vegan mayo brand from the waitress (tastes horrible) drinks now served in a glass Instead of cans. Meals not as good as they used to be. Clearly trying to cut costs but keeping there prices high! We got chatting to a table of holiday makers next to us who said they visited last year and it was lovely but wouldn't be returning again because of the poor quality! Such a shame. Won't be hurrying back anytime soon and definitely wouldn't sit in again as the prices are ridiculous for the quality.

Went in today for two regular chips two curry sauce cheese pot two drinks and a sausage. Let’s just top it off with they arent friendly they forgot curry sauce so we had to go back and the food in the end wasn’t even that good, we had to pay extra for a bag even though it came up to over £20 and on top of that no decent forks. I’ve been to some nice fish and chips shops and this is not one of the nice ones I won’t be returning

When we went in the cafe it the young girl cleaning the table from previous couple and whatever she used stunk very high of bleach, we ordered our meals basic ,chips and southern fried chicken hubby ordered fish and chips, the chips clearly warm ups and either green or black and the southern fried chicken was very very dry needless to say mine wasn't eaten the glass of lemonade was 2.80 and a glass diet also 2.80 ,young girl very polite though, not somewhere I would recommend

Fish and chips were decent and good value for money. I would use them again.

Nice Chippy, stick to fish and chips though. Cornish Pasty wasn't great but the chips were just right.

Vegan fish sticks | Great service Can't believe how many vegan, plant-based options are on their menu - absolutely fantastic. The vegan bap and fish sticks we had were "just okay" in taste, but the price was unbeatable and the service was great.

Super destination for those of us who need gluten free food. Great fish and chips. If you feel it's a little expensive then blame capitalism's drive to accumulate and the cost of living crisis. Open late, even on Sunday, so good for after a day out.

Very expensive for what you get

Go elsewhere! No atmosphere, made to feel like I was a hindrance to staff, as they weren't so interested - poss because later in the day? The prices here, do NOT reflect the food quality, ie. 'pricey but poor quality/ presentation' of dish choices. Can find Much better, tastier cleaner and welcoming venues in Llandudno.

Absolutely shocking, it's a shame I did not have time to take a pic, small fish and chips £7.50, been cut in half like a dog has had hold of it, went in to "complain" and had some woman at the back of the shop as I dared to ask for someone who can deal with a complaint going mental shouting to the front of the shop in a sarcastic manner "got a man moaning about the fish" appaling attitude. Negative review and you have lost 4 customers as we won't be coming back.

I ordered fish and chips, chips, peas and gravy, 3 bread & butter, 2 cans of coke? I nearly collapsed when I payed for it as it was £29.30 by cash only. The fish was smaller than a mini fish with an handful of chips. Definitely not worth this price, it was a rip off, we shall not be returning.

Great prices, I believe the fish and chips was around £7, definitely a lot of food for your money, fish was fresh and not too greasy as well.

As a vegan, it is quite difficult to find food options in seaside towns. At Barnacles however, I was spoilt for choice! Everything was delicious, promptly served, and staff were friendly and chatty. Definitely recommend!
