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

Beale's Park Fish & Chips Restaurant doesn't disappoint when it comes to serving the BEST fish & chips that I have ever had. Whenever I visit Porthcawl this is my go-to. Everything on their menu is fantastic, the prices are way below what you would expect from such a popular spot. There will be queues on busy weekends but in all fairness they speed through them. The customer service is always lovely and applaudable especially during their peak times. If you park in the massive Porthcawl parking lot the chippy is only a short walk from the beach, located just opposite a park and bowls green where you can sit and enjoy your chips.

Really FANTASTIC fish and chips here I don't ever remember enjoying fish and chips so much, definitely up there with the best ever..Would 100% recommend a visit to Beales when you come to Porthcawl. Little tip, try to get a table inside the restaurant as opposed to near the front door as the door doesn't shut properly and it's not so pleasant if it's cold outside. The staff kindly moved us to a warmer table which we were very grateful for. Very, very tasty fish and the most perfect batter ever. Can't wait to eat there again!

Been coming here for years but today's visit was a disappointment, asked for a large cod & chips to be told "sorry we only do one size" which turned out to be quite small, I know cost's are rising but I'd sooner pay a little more for a decent large cod.

Been making the journey down to beales for years but lately the prices have increased (which is to be expected at the moment) but the portion sizes have become laughable, 2 large trays of chips which cost over £7 wouldn't have fed a single child, a real shame as the chips snd everything else has always been very nice

Asked locals where the nicest/best fish and chips was around Sandy Bay and a lady recommended Beales. Queued for atleast 30 mins, once ordering the service was poor, it didn’t seem like they were listening. After another 20 minutes our food was finally finished and we took it away. No one asked if we wanted a bag, would have paid for one, didn’t realise I had to ask so we lugged our order back to our car awkwardly. We then drove to a spot to eat the food and we realised they had left out a portion of chips… we realise we didn’t pay for that portion but it just goes to show that they weren’t listening, even when repeated. Got stuck into the food hoping that would it would be worth while and it wasn’t. The chips were mushy. Basically ate salty oily mash. Very disappointed by the whole experience. I never leave negative reviews, however I felt this one actually deserved one because of how highly rated it seemed to be, which to the 4 of us in our group seemed crazy. Don’t waste your time and money!

The fish and chips at Beale's are likely the best in Porthcawl. The choice of fish is great, and the preparation time for take out is excellent. The service is okay. I've worked in the service industry (still do to an extent), and upon returning to the car, I shared my opinion to my wife: "the staff look like they'd been slapped by a wet fish" A smile goes a long way, and the serving staff, while I'm sure are lovely people, looked like automatons and didn't exactly provide that "service with a smile" which helps to brighten everyone's day. Still, can't question the taste of the dishes here, that's why I keep going back! Edit: well, the staff were a bit more smiley, despite the huge queue trailing outside the shop. The fish appeared smaller than my last visit. It is summer season now, so smaller fish pieces last longer for the increased number of customers.

Been going there for takeaways for years today was first time I dined in with my 4yr daughter . The chicken was dry and tea was lukewarm at best but what really annoyed me was this one member of staff an older woman who seemed to be in a rush to take my order and because my daughter was standing on the seat rather then sitting (she's not great with eating and moves around a lot trying to avoid it) she came over and bluntly asked me to stop my girl moving around upon hearing her my daughter hid her face in her hands and started crying took what felt like ages to comfort her she did want ice cream but quite frankly I wasn't going to give them any more custom then I already had so we left and bought her ice cream in the fair. I found her attitude disgusting and won't be going back (I have heard good reviews about Mansel so will go there from now on )
