Beales Fish and Chip Restaurant in Bridgend

Best cod and chips around. All fish freshly cooked to order. Chips were perfect. Batter on cod and cod bites was crispy and tasty. Fish was excellent.

staff are very quick to the job and food was great, loved it here. entertainment would be an improvement but other than that it was greatt

One of the best fish and Chip meals. Will go again.

This is the best fish and chips in south Wales ice never had a bad meal it's always top quality I visit every Friday its well worth driving from Cardiff just to get this quality of food they really do it well here I can highly recommend everything!

As always, excellent food and service! Thank you

Have always had cod and chips as a take away from here, and gone back time and time again as very good. How disappointed I was tonight, when visiting the café side and having steak and kidney pie and chips. I'd fancied gravy with it also, and was later glad that I did, as the pie was very dry, but think an additional £1.95 for a small dish of gravy to make it pleasant to eat was a bit much. However, my main complaint was the size of the pie. I was really surprised when it arrived, as it was a really tiny, round pie, and not deep either, which probably accounted for its dryness. They really would have been better buying pies of the regular size and charging more, as I feel as if I was short changed. Chips were their usual good quality. Although I've always been more than happy with their fish it will be a long time before I bother to go there for pie again.

What a great place to have traditional fish and chips. Great tasting fish, and the chips were pretty good as well. All swilled down with a glass of dandelion and burdock drink.

Outstanding food I had the haddock with chips really beautiful

Probably the best fish shop in South Wales and maybe further a field. Love the Haddock and chips, best I have tasted. Good old fashioned British Fish and Chips, at it's best!

First time for us looked like a long queue so we joined the end nobody mentioned that they were waiting for their food customers coming in the door going to the counter giving their order then joining the queue only then we noticed what was going on still know one said anything to us but on the plus side the food was amazing worth the wait

I have visited here several times, and the food is always perfect. The service is very friendly and the restaurant is bright and clean.

We have been here many times, to the takeaway and to sit in, and had a 10 out of 10 experience. I love fish and chips my all time favourite. Its the best

Visited your store on Sunday and I was left disappointed with the service. There is no system in place for customers who have placed their orders the shop was full of customers waiting. Neither the customers or the staff knew who had placed an order. I think a better system could easily be put in place and help yourselves and the customer during your busy periods

Stopped for dinner this evening after visiting porthcawl on a whim. Fantastic food. We ate in the restaurant part of this establishment. One of the best haddock and chips ever. Super quality fish and the batter was superb - light but satisfying and stayed crunchy. Partner had faggots which she said was great. Irish curry sauce and mushy peas were tip top too. The staff were lovely and very efficient.

Best Chippy in Porthcawl and probably in South Wales, the Cod is to die for, fresh as it comes. Crispy chips with fluffy insides. Service is second to none, one young man could smile a bit more instead of flexing his muscles looking rather constipated.

So we tried out the fish and chips yesterday they were extremely tasty here. We had the gravy and the mushy peas which were excellent. The fish was lovely and soft and the bottom was very light. Highly recommend this place.

Probably the best in south wales

Absolutely beautiful fish and chips, would definitely recommend 👌

Beales is famous in Porthcawl. Great taste and reasonably large portions. I couldn't finish my order, it was just too big. Fish, Chips and Curry Sauce around £12.50. Not cheap, but as this kind of meal goes, not unreasonable.

Haven't been here for a number of years, but had food here Friday and it was perfect, a little expensive, but when you have perfect food it's worth paying just that little bit more.

A little expensive for me for fish and chips , not much difference to my local in taste but worth a little trip out for a ride

Dinner whilst visiting the area. Really nice fish and chips good size portion of fish with good crispy batter. Chips excellent not soggy or greasy. All our food was well made good size portions and friendly service

Been 3 times and every time the fish has been delicious and the chips are also fantastic with great salt and vinegar on them! Also the curry sauce is great! 5*

Most tastiest fish n chips ever!

This must equal the best fish and chips I've ever had. The fish ourself was cooked to perfection with the lightest, crispiest batter you can imagine. Chips were also perfect. We ate in the restaurant rather than getting a takeaway. This meant we also got the choice of having salad instead or do as I did, have half and half. Salad was also tasty. Will be going again.

Food is freshly made and served with a smile.

Great place for food,lovely and fresh,cooked to order,good size portions.only thing I think the price is a little high when you sit in.

This place didn’t disappoint! A little expensive but there was six of us but everything was freshly cooked. The fish was perfect and light batter thoroughly enjoyable. The staff were very nice also thank you.

The only reason I bring the kids to Porthcawl is so I can have a Beales fish & chips - never disappoints

Best fish and chips in Wales . Seen reviews about prices etc ....cheaper than McDonald's for really fresh beautiful food . Staff are friendly too.

I have been going to Beales for in excess of 25 years and I have found the food to be very good, however in a recent visit I found my fish and chip meal was very disappointing, the haddock was tiny and the chips all bitty and small in quantity! Once again another price rise to over £13. Sorry never worth it!! I also found the waitress quite rude! A real shame from my part.

Chips weren't great. No gluten free options available.

Excellent cod and chips but very pricey

Amazing best fish and chips ever

Staff very welcoming and friendly food service was excellent and didn't have to wait to long

Best fish and chips in the area. Will definitely be returning

Yummy chips, but they got our order wrong and overcharged me which was annoying as we'd left by the time I realised.

Best fish and chips in porthcawl

I recently had takeaway x2 cod bites and chips , chicken nuggets no chips and x1 can of coke and got charged £18.10 I think I ether got charged fro wrong food or this is well over priced !

Absolutely brilliant food brilliant ambience

Very large portions, enough for two.

We did not book a table, but they found us one, and customer service was exceptional. Very attentive staff. Pleasant surroundings and very clean

Was really pleased that there was a table available for us on a Bank Holiday. Very friendly efficient staff and excellent meals. My 4 year old granddaughter almost ate all of her massive fish bites . Thoroughly enjoyed herself. Thank you.

Great cod and chips with plenty of freshly cooked food. The Irish curry sauce was ‘to die for’. Good service and excellent quality food.

Straight up ,irish curry & chips,thats all i had,but got to be honest,best ever,i havent enjoyed chips & curry like that for a long time...girls where really friendly,cant wait to get back there,im going to have fish chips & irish next time...Hmmmm....lush..

Going for years now, we do also use other nearby fish and chip restaurants with no complaints but Beales is our go to place, never disappointed.

Came here on an unusual cold miserable day in June ! Food was fresh and delicious and served with a friendly face. A must visit if in Porthcawl and support a local family run business.

Very disappointed by the quality of the food and the lacklustre service. We were told it was the best in Porthcawl I’d hate to see the worst!

I go here once a year when I go to Porthcawl. Always have my lunch here because they are the best . Was there today 18th June abiut 1230. No queues, the restaurant was less than halfull. Waited a short time for a plate of really hot cod and chips. Superb white fish in a lovely batter. Plate of chips also, both absolutely dry as in no oil or fat. No contest anywhere as far as I am concerned. 12/10. Scrupulesly clean, table and chairs cleaned after use Can't praise it too highly.

The food is well-cooked and tasty, but the prices are quite high compared to other places, and the portion sizes are disappointingly small. Additionally, parking is a significant issue as there are very few spots available, making it difficult to find a place to park.

Amazing food, as always for over 20 years. Staff so accommodating, couldn’t do enough for my disabled wife Food was served so fast, so many people wanting tables, we timed it just right.

Very very nice food, staff helpful and attentive. Can eat in or takeaway.

The woman that supervises the cafe side of the business is bossy and controlling, she makes you feel like you are walking on egg shells and everything you do is scrutinised, this makes for an uncomfortable and unwelcoming experience...I've experienced this a few times so finally I feel I have to complain, other restaurants make you feel welcome ......she makes you feel very much you are on her turf and in her controlling environment.

Lovely fish & chips, the best I’ve had. Fair prices too.

The cod was very nice, but the chips were a bit earthy.

Overrated, small portions, expensive, and quality is no better than other fish and chip shops. Plus’s cheese and chips is on menu but they do not serve cheese so no cheese and chips available. Visit was on the Monday bank holiday but no excuse.

My partner and I recently shared an endeavour to this run of the mill establishment. Upon arriving to our destination, Beales, we were greeted by an extensive queue of eager beavers. My partner was unable to even begin his experience at Beales for an approximate 10 minutes! This was most likely due to the very poor work efficiency shown by the staff. When my partner eventually spoke to the lady at the counter he ordered 2 Chips, a jumbo sausage, fish bites, curry sauce and gravy which to our surprise set us back £14.95! We also noticed that customers before us received an approximate wait time for their order, however we were not awarded such luxury and had to guess when our food would be ready. We also happened to witness an employee place an order (the exact same order as my partners!)a few minutes after us and much to our regret the employee received their food in a much more time efficient manner than we were granted. After placing our order with the kitchen we waited a further 15 minutes for the food to arrive. Upon tucking into our dinner we noticed that there was heaps of excess salt spilling out of the packaging (see picture attached). However, our food was fairly decent (for a chip shop).

Always a great plate of cod & chips. Although cost now means not as many visits as we would like.

Best fish and chips in the area, both Curry Sauces are amazing and the fish is so fresh 10/10

Recommended this place by a local trader as we are on holiday, lets just say he was not wrong when he said it was the best Fish & Chips in town...lovely lovely staff, amazing food..Highly recommended. It was DOG FRIENDLY too which was a massive bonus as we had Bonnie with us...

Clean and efficient but a tad expensive

Lovely food and excellent service. The staff accommodated 6 of us on a walk in. They were polite and helpful. Excellent Chicken Curry and Chips, but I do feel there wasn't enough chicken in the Curry.

Waited 20 minutes for one plaice and two sausage in batter , served minus the sausage in batter they forgot so got refunded , plaice served with slimy skin in batter and chips were awful , would never return even for a free meal

Fantastic chip shop eat in or takeaway, food is always amazing ,only downside is no parking at property but plenty 200m away

It's the best fish and chips dinner and takeaway around very clean and up to date .

Great food, love the whitebait, brilliant service, refilled on sauces no questions asked, worth a visit

One of the best fish and chips shops in South Wales. We travel regularly from Cardiff, have been doing so for over 20 yrs. Possibly the best thing about Porthcawl.

Lovely food, always busy - which is a good sign!

You can't get anywhere better in Porthcawl for a chip supper.

Best plaice for your fish and chips in Porthcawl

Best fish & chips around . Spotlessly clean . Polite staff ..

Love love it come 40 miles away just for fish and chips

The fish and chips are very tasty, great portions, and the service is great, but it is upsetting they serve tarter sauce and tomato sauce in little packets for dine-in rather than having bottles. Not only is it a hassle for the customer, but more importantly an unnecessary negative impact on the environment.

Had cod and chips with Irish curry and the fish was horrible but when they are charging £12.05 for this and last week I went there the fish was over cooked so definitely won't be going back but the manager will not contact me I bet as they do not care except for there greed.

Great fish and chips. But it's a little on the expensive side now. Staff were great too. Will go again 👍🏻

Fantastic fish and chips with Irish Curry on a busy bank holiday Monday

Although food was great it was a bit disappointing they wouldn’t do scampi for my child’s meal

Lovely delicious place...food was spot on and was really nice customer service 😀 was recommended by local resident as we were on holiday but very thankful. 👌😋

Chips & fish bites take away. Chips inedible as the amount of salt poured on them ruined whole bag had to throw them away. They were WHITE with salt, just terrible. Fish bites nothing special. Our local chippie provides much better quality. Hopefully just a blip?

On our way to town but it was pouring with rain so we nipped in here. And had a beautiful fish and chips supper. Glad it was raining! Friendly service and immaculately clean.

Had fab food staff are amazing, it was really busy ,and the staff were Brill they were on the ball clearing the tables ready for the next people coming in .

Delicious fish and chips Sat on the seafront and thoroughly enjoyed them

Food Good,but getting expensive.

Great food as usual. Especially the fruity curry.👌

Fresh food and good variety. Staff seemed disinterested and going through the motions .

Overpriced frozen rubbish! Rude counter staff. A blonde young girl with no charisma. When you enter the shop you will be looked at like they don't want you there. Upon placing the order there is no direction of what a regular chips is for a serving size, but every chip shop I have been to regular feeds 2-3 people. The regular here is a single serve portion. The sausages are bought in frozen along with the fishcake and the chips were terribly undercooked. Extremely disappointed after reading some good reviews. But the staff there made my whole party feel like we shouldn't be there right down to how she went out of her way to place My change on the counter away from me tho my hand and counter by my hand were closer

Dine in all cooked fresh fish and chips at its best

Chips were terrible.. fish was greasy batter was soft not crispy . difficulty in parking .soon a new road will be built through park . making parking even harder to find a space

Food lovely. Woman with glasses has got 0 customer service skills. A smile every now and again wouldn't hurt you!!!

Oh yes, Beautiful fish very impressive! Excellent service & lovely location! We had chips every day yummy thank you so much

Wow the fish & chips here are outstanding! A little pricey but very nice indeed. My children loved it and thanks to the staff too

Had a takeaway on 15 2 24. I'm positive the fish/chips were left over from Valentine's Day! The fish had black pieces and the batter was soggy! The chips had been warmed up! We threw them on Sandy Bay for the unlucky seagulls! Disgusting to serve food like that!

Always lovely food and staff are polite

Lovely fish and chips. Came out less than 5 minutes from ordering. Tasted hot and fresh! Friendly service. Can't go wrong, never had a bad meal :)

We visited as a family of four. What can I say, the cod was one of the best I've ever had! Reasonable prices, too. Will definitely be back.

My first time there, will not be the last.

Superb fish and chips. Nice and hot and not greasy. Return visit today and had the hake, it was really tasty!

Great food every time we visit, no matter what you have off the menu.

The staff are so miserable! All they do is stare , and they are very moody with customers , it’s as if they have no patience. The food has gone terrible, the chips were old and this is not the first instance that the chips have been old and dry. Don’t bother complaining you will have a mouthful back from a member of staff! Parking is rubbish! I’m hearing so many people having parking fines! Won’t be returning

Food is lush. Used to live in Cleethorpes and haddock was their special, Haddock was stunning it was like being back home.
