Barnacles Chip Shop in Conwy

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.

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

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 👌

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

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

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

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.

Very expensive for what you get

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.

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.

We travel down from the Midlands once a year. Myself, mum and my boys. Second year running we have had our fish and chip seaside dinner before heading home. We couldn't fault the service, options and food. My mum is newly diagnosed celiac. And was absolutely over the moon with the full page of gluten free options! She went for the haddock with salad. Such a treat! Chip shops local to us offer gf dining once or twice a week. So a full menu was so welcome! We will be back again next summer! Thank you 😁

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!

As a take away, it works well, as an "eating in" experience, not so well. Fish and chips were nice but the service left a lot to be desired. They could have possibly had a long busy day, but there were a lot of missed orders, food not delivered/forgotten, staff who didn't seem bothered, but as a take away, it seemed very popular.

Staying in North Wales on holiday and took a trip to Llandudno for the day. I had seen plenty of recommendations on Facebook for Barnacles as they do gluten free and I wanted to try it. The service was very good and the food came quickly. Mine came out last and had been cooked fresh so was lovely and hot. Gluten free vinegar was also bought over for me to use and I also had bread and butter. Bonus to the gluten free for us was it was also dog friendly.

Had the cod and chips special, have eaten here before but not since last year, first thing noticed was a price increase of over £3 per portion, cod special is fish chips, mushy peas, bread and butter and a tea was £15.95, used to be £12.95. Second thing noted was portion size, a lot smaller, fish was not as chunky and very flat at the ends with not much fish. I had curry sauce instead of peas and I have to say that the curry sauce was lovely, the chips and the tea were nice but the fish was underwhelming, We personally did not want the bread and butter and although we mentioned on ordering we still got some. Overall not worth £15.95, I would expect to pay that in a nice restaurant not a cafe which was very noisy, crowded, allows dogs in and was a bit run down.

Lovely food. Staff very rude and abrupt. Practically threw our food at us. Had to ask for our change. Wouldn't come back.

We're regular visitors here and won't stop patronising this lovely little place. The food is always hot, tasty, well presented and delivered in good time. However, there are a couple of younger staff there who don't seem to cope well with the pressure and come across as rather stroppy! It's a shame because I'm sure it WILL put off some customers. That said, maybe Barnacles needs to employ one or two more staff as they seem exceptionally busy in the summer holidays.

I am regular visitor to this chippy. This review is based on my visit yesterday evening. Lady serving didn't seem to want to be there. Fish & Chips usually served in boxes. This time, they were crammed into little trays. Fish were small. Portions of chips were small. Tubs for Peas and Gravy half the size they used to be. Prices the same though. Don't object to paying their high prices if quality and portion sizes are right.

We visited here on Monday! We were served fairly quickly! The chips were okay. My son enjoyed his nuggets. Portions are small!

Nicest fish and chips I've had for a long time. Excellent. We had takeaways, so I can't comment on the café.

Lovely little place with friendly hard working staff. Extensive gluten free and vegan menu which is wonderful to see. & the food is tasty too!

Quick service...good quality food... proper chippy chips

A gluten free treasure!! Friendly staff and well priced

If you are lucky enough to get a seat here, it's so popular, you won't be disappointed. The service was friendly and the food was lovely. I'd definitely recommend it.

One of the few fish & chip shops to offer a reasonable range of veggie/vegan options (as opposed to others who offer poor choice or none at all!). Food good, but table/chairs/floor did not seem to have been cleaned duringbthe day. Waitresses did their jobs, but unsmilingly and were not personable or friendly. At £50 for 3 suppers, not particularly good value. Still, at least the veggie in our party could eat with us, so that was the price that has to be paid.

Find the staff to be abit argent and there is no baby change, the food is brilliant, but the staff are abit rude I feel unwelcome ☆☆☆

Absolutely wonderful fish and chips supper with a pot of tea. Best fish I have had anywhere for a long long time. Heartily recommended!

The gluten free fish and chips were absolutely wonderful. My wife really enjoyed the crispy batter. Normally she has to endure a pre-prepared fillet, but this was as good as the non-gluten free option. Bravo!

The gluten free option was vast and I had a fantastic cod and chips, crispy batter. So good. They even had gluten free vinegar. All at no extra cost

Ate in, the food was OK but the portion of chips was tiny and a fair few scrag ends

Nice But Pricey Nothing wrong with the Fish and chips we ordered they were perfectly acceptable and we enjoyed them, the only downside was the price, at £25.50 for Cod and chips X2 a tea and a soft drink it was a bit on the steep side. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowUserReviews-g190724-d1747138-r956910019-Barnacles_Chip_Shop-Llandudno_Conwy_County_North_Wales_Wales.html#

I recently visited Barnacles on a recommendation for its coeliac-friendly options. Their gluten-free menu offers a wide variety of items, which is always a treat to come across. We chose to dine in and were served promptly. The chips were outstanding—quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. The only downside was that the portion size was a bit small for the price. Overall I recommend, it was a welcome hearty meal after a trip up the windy Great Orme.

This place was recommended to me by vegan friends. There's a great vegan menu and a separate cooking area for the food. I went twice on a short trip and the food was delicious. I tried the battered sausage, chickun, mushy peas, chips, curry sauce ( all vegan) ..over 2 meals. Staff were very friendly and worked quickly to serve.

This place is a gem for gluten free . We have eaten hear a few times . All the way from Liverpool . It's nice to be able to have all the old favourites gluten free . ! The lads on the counter are just fantastic . So well mannered and polight and well presented , But consistently so ... Even when I came five minutes before closing ( I rang ahead) the place is clean and the food is great . Things I've had from hear gf Haddock . I think I've had cod too Battered sausage Chips Pies . A Chease and vege and a meat .!! Chicken nuggets ( yes gf ) Gravy Curry Peas Ice-cream . . They even have gf vinager.! We plan our trips to pass through and have our tea hear . Always a happy experience ! . Looking forward to the next time. Thanks again for the great service.

Oh my oh my oh my this is the place to have fish and chips the batter is so scrumptious the fish so tasty the chips mmmmmm🤤 I have been to Llandudno just for the day so l can dine there. I hope I can there again soon

**update, still nice but £10 now for a price of battered cod/ haddock (without chips) is expensive!!*** Wanted to leave a review of this place, been here a few times and had lunch when Visiting Llandudno, my wife is coelliac (very much gluten free) , beautiful cod and chips , no issues with allergies. We always come back when in Llandudno. Keep up the high standard

Fantastic gluten free options and great quality food.

THE BEST. We had a great time here. Without doubt the best gluten free service I’ve ever had. They have a full, clear and comprehensive gluten free menu. With very kind service. And both the gluten free and standard fish and chips are top. Thanks Barnacles!

Great Gluten Free fish and chips! So happy to find a decent chippy that understands my allergy. All the family had great meals too. The young waitresses where very helpful and friendly. We were served very quickly considering the place was full and there were three children and three adults.

Very few places have tartar sauce, it’s awesome 👍

Brilliant gluten free menu. Great service

Food was good the drink was amazing the dessert was ok the and the hot dogs are well big

Fast and friendly service. They even have a vegan menu, amazing. Incredible mushy peas!!

I’ve visited Barnacles twice now and the food is fab. As a coeliac, it’s always a treat to have gluten free fish and chips, and Barnacles fish and chips certainly are tasty and accommodating for allergies and intolerances, just mention when ordering. Highly recommended!

Loads of gluten free options, and staff were very well informed about allergies.

Recently visited. Fab haddock chips and proper mushy peas. When finished plate was completely clear and dry(unlike some places on fylde coast). Served by yhe lovely Nikita who was really friendly and gave us a warm welcome

Excellent gluten free fish and chips.

Very nice. Pan fried haddock and chips and battered haddock and chips thanks

Had gluten free fish and chips with curry sauce It was beautiful. Highly recommend .

Superb chips, good service We ate inside twice as they had a good menu for gluten free.

Very nice food chips and chicken strips were amazing, but pricey, £3 for 3 small chicken strips is a bit much

Me and my wife had a cod special. The fish in particular was very tasty. The batter was light and crispy on the fish and nicely cooked. The service was very quick and friendly.

Amazing gluten free haddock. Plus regular fish and chips. Delicious. We come here every time we visit Llandudno

Lovely but of scran, good prices. Come here for ur fish and chips!!

We had a fabulous meal here for 6 of us. No grease to be seen and it all tasted fab. The staff were all lovely too. A great find

Very nice chips, peas and gravy.

What a fantastic chip shop staff very helpful and tbe food was amazing i had fish n chips mushy peas. The fish was perfect no over cooked batter the fish was flakey to chips were spot on the gravy was one of the best ive ever tasted got busy really fast obvs a centre favorite would visit again

Visited recently and what a great experience. Entering the establishment you take a seat. Minute later you have a friendly welcome and menus. Service is quick and a splendid menu they cater for everyone. Order taken and drinks are delivered immediately. Again a good selection of beverages. I went for a cup of tea and extra hot water was included. Food arrives well presented and plenty on the plate I ordered double sausage and chips although they were two small sausages it was plenty on a plate. We also had a cod special which included bread and butter and a hot drink which was great value for money. Also we had a jumbo fish finger meal which came with chips two big fish fingers and salad. Sauces are provided on the table and a friendly service asking if meals are okay. After food plates are cleared if no other courses are required the bill is placed on table. Simply go to the back to the tool to pay. The restaurant also include two toilets which are fully stocked.

Staff were attentive and friendly. Food was all cooked to order and tasted very nice.

I had a lovely plate of Haddock with garden peas. The service was excellent, very prompt, with a friendly manner. I am going again, 2 days in a row.

Great vegan options. We had vegan battered sausage with chips and mushy peas. Great to have a separate vegan menu. They had vegan ice cream and milkshakes too

Was in a rush to get home and wanted chips, Asked for a large and got given a small and didn’t notice till I was in the car

Beautiful fish and chips (some of the best we have had) including a full gluten free menu!!! The cafe was closed for painting but we sat outside in the sun and enjoyed our visit! Definitely worth a visit especially if you are looking for good gluten free options!😍

Wet, cold, winters evening…perfect fish and chips to end the day.

Great selection of vegan options! Quality food and service. Always come here for a treat when we're in the area.

Haf fish (cod) chips, peas and curry sauce, delicious! Fish was superb. I've eaten in the cafe too, breakfast was very good. Staff are very friendly and efficient.

Called in for lunch, two Cod Meals. Been coming here for some years, whenever we visit Llandudno. The place has changed. Sadly standards seem to have dropped. The waitress was friendly and polite. But the whole place felt dismal and dirty. And the food really was poor. The increased prices are certainly not justifiable. We won't be coming back, so many other places to go.

First of all really nice young lad behind the counter, great service. Had a haddock and regular chips to takeaway and it was really good 👍. Good to see environmentally friendly packaging being used. Portion was slightly on the small side and I always like the option to put on my own salt and vinegar. Top choice for fish and chips in Llandudno!

Visited this evening as a group of 7, the girls serving were very polite. Food was delicious, we had the cod special & 1 had chicken tikka and rice all of us were really pleased with our food. The only thing that let it down slightly is as it was the end of the day it was needing a sweep up but I'm glad we didn't let that put us off

Helpful and friendly staff. Great menu choice for a chip shop. Vegan choices. Prices for most budgets. All cooked fresh. Our visit helped make the day.

Friendly staff,quick service ( not a busy time) excellent portion of haddock. A typical seaside fish and chip café just as they should be. Also a take away chippie.

Worst chips we have had in as long as we can remember, 50% of them were full of eyes or were green and bad, the other 50% were dry and flavourless. Considering it's a fish and chip shop you'd think one of their main products would be decent.
