Beech Tree Fish Bar in Caerphilly

We made a fair size order for a number of adults and we covered a lot of the basic items on the small menu. The Pros - Nice place and reasonably priced. Battered sausage was nice, gravy was pretty standard. The cons - Chips were pale, soggy, but tasted bottom end of OK. The pies are foul, tried a chicken and a steak and I can only assume they come from ALDI or LIDL, went in the bin. Irish curry had absolutely no flavour Battered pineapple was awful, soggy batter and rock hard pineapple, seriously, how did you manage to achieve that?! S

If he wasn't a Tottenham fan he would have 5 stars.

Always been impressed with the quality of the fish and chips here. Portion sizes are generous and prices reasonable. Good friendly and efficient service. Plenty of parking on nearby streets as well.

Chips lovely, fish not so lovely. Batter as hard as hell. I swear the fish was cooked first thing then warmed up. All three fish for the family were the same. Sorry but we're back to the bottom fish and chips shop.

The best chip shop in the area! The potato fritters are lush and take me back.

Quality food and reasonably priced, chips aren't greasy and batter is lovely and crispy 😃

By far the best Fish and Chip shop in the valley, in my opinion much better than the local ‘award winners’ food is always fresh and piping hot and of the best quality. Service may be a little slow at busy times but the freshness certainly makes up for it!

Immaculate and the best products. Always a nice treat.

Very good value for money with generous portions

Lovely food here well recommended

Honestly need to sack that women on the till the old lady can’t even do a order proper ask for something get not what I asked for not once either happed 4 times sort it out or a customer of many years is no more taking the p now I’m honestly sick of it don’t pay for what you get

Fab food. Especially the 🍟 chips.

Great food very busy at times but the best things comes to those who wait. Good parking on the nearby streets.

I regularly visit here for lunch, and the food is always fresh, hot and of a high standard. Highly recommend a visit.

Always lovely food! Best local chippy in my opinion and very reasonably priced. Fablas ice-cream is also amazing 😁 Blasus iawn!

Lovely food and packaged well, very slow and rather skimpy on the chip quantity

Best fish and chips in south wales

Can't beat it, staff friendly and helpful and the prices are considerably lower than expected.

Went here yesterday had cod and chips found two grey hairs in there also chips were horrible won’t eat here again

Food is good, however the service is very slow, headless chickens and asthmatic snails come to mind. When it comes to wrapping up the food, remember it’s fried food not an expensive gift from John Lewis. Faster service is needed, otherwise you’ll lose customers to quicker rivals….

Best chippy in Ystrad Mynach! Great value, great food, great staff, what more can you ask for?!

First time using this fish bar. Cod and chips were fantastic

The best fish and chip shop in the area… thank you so much for cooking my fish without batter.. it was fabulous 👏🏻

Fantastic fish and chips also curry will go again staff were amazing

My dav chippy of all time , being coming her since I was a toddler im now nearly 50 , food is fantastic staff a fantastic , keep it up guys your doing just fine 👌🏻

Gorgeous chips, not greasy. The chips portion sizes are a bit small for the price though. It is only potato, after all!

Always have lovely food from here, reasonably priced and good size portions.I think it's the best fish and chips about👍

If I could rate this fish bar more I would, I haven't been here for years but I'm glad I did. Food was top notch... VERY cheap lovely decor inside and staff are lovely. I love the fact there is an ice cream counter too. Amazing. Will be returning.

Waited for fish to b cooked Fish size not large but covered with loads of chips A nice maal for the price ( fish and chips £7.50) Rating 7/10

Very nice fish and chips, well packaged to take home, stayed warm, and fast service. First time we've been here since the refit, 100% improvement. Will be using again. About 2 weeks on, we used again. Not half as nice. The batter on the fish was rubbery as though it had been kept warm a long time, they didn't serve it in boxes with the chips like last time, just all wrapped in paper. Very disappointed, not so keen to go there again, has potential to be very good, but not consistent, won't know if I'm gonna get a fresh fish or a rubbery one. Noticed there were sausages in the range that looked shrivelled and pies with sunken tops, i should have guessed everything had been hanging around a while. Shame. Might try somewhere else next time.

Excellent food and service the girls deserve a pay rise

Best fish and chips around by a mile. Superb! Friendly staff and the food is amazing. Highly recommend to anybody to come here. Never disappointed!!

Best fish shop for miles.. don’t need to go anywhere else for a very good fish and chip experience.

Beech tree small fish and chips bar in Ystrad Mynach with a selection of Fish, Chicken, Beef items as well as varieties of ice creams. Have visited multiple times and have tried Fish & Chips (~2 £) , Burger in batter (~2 £) , Quarter chicken (for 4.5 £) & Sausages from here. Everything on the menu is cheap and affordable, probably because it has schools in the vicinity. The staff is hospitable & the service is also quick. They give out tokens for orders after the payment. The place is well maintained, with minimal seating (2 benches facing the window), and is always clean and well maintained. The place is very accessibility, situated on the corner of the road in the beginning on High Street. Overall, had good experiences whenever I’ve visited. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ menu options ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Value for money Verdict: Worth visiting for a quick lunch or dinner!

Food all ways nice and staff helpful

Favourite fish bar in South Wales ❤️

Lovely Fish Bar which looks Great inside. Also sell different ice-creams. Friendly staff and service and the food was great.

The best Chippy in Ystrad by a country mile. Called in today for the 1st time instead of having the usual dregs from New Ystrad fish bar. This place is superb. Freshly cooked chips and delightful service and very efficient . This will now be my local chippy. Superb place

Excellent food but how can a chip shop run out of Fish and Chicken at 6:45pm on a Friday evening?

They only use the best quality produce, the food is delicious. The shop is tastefully decorated and welcoming whether you want their delicious fish and chips or their fabulous ice creams. Great value for money.

Fab service and tasty food ! Their ice cream is delicious 😋

Been eating here for over 40 years ... still top quality and reasonably priced ... I'd never go anywhere else

Stunning food, friendly staff reasonable prices, and the place is really clean. Best chips around.

It was disappointing as fish was over cooked and dry even though cooked when ordered. Maesycwmmer fish bar far superior.

Great food cooked to perfection lots of customers there but well organised and polite staff very efficient exactly what most other takeaways lack will definitely return 👍

Fish very small portions for £5 chips have been better in the past must have been an off day nice premises even serve icecream

Absolutely fabulous fish and chips at a more than reasonable price.

Nice and clean, chips are beautiful. Will be going soon.

Great service today! Thanks again for looking after my boys backpacks after we left them there, and, for staying open a little later so we could collect. Always great food.

Stopped in on the way to Cwmbran as we were starving. I would go out of my way to get chips here. They weren't greasy, they were hot, fresh, and really tasty. We arrived 10 mins before closing and there was still really good food on offer. We had 3 jumbo sausage, a pie, a rissole, 2 large chips, a chips and beans, and 5 cans for just over 23 quid. All my teenagers are stuffed which never happens to the seemingly bottomless pits. Amazing.

Wonderful and calming experience, they were so friendly and we joked with the staff. Quick service and kind faces. 🥰♥️

Haven’t been into this chip shop since the refurbishment and was very impressed with how this has been done. Very stylish and inviting decor and the food was lovely and good value. I will definitely be back😋

Fantastic food from Angelo and the team as usual! I am from Bath originally and since moving to Wales almost 9 years ago, The Beech Tree Fish Bar has become a firm favourite of mine, especially over the last year. The improvements they have made have taken the bar from strength to strength. High quality food, beautifully packaged and despite the hard financial climate, really well priced and great value for money. For myself, my fiancé, my daughter (and a sausage for each of my dogs!) we had one large chips, two fish cakes, a lamb and mint pie, and the two sausages for the dogs plus three personalised ice cream tubs for £21. We were all well and truly full and had chips left over! The staff are extremely friendly, welcoming, and always have a smile on their faces, despite being rushed off their feet the majority of the time. My parents came from Bath the other week to visit and we had dinner from Angelo and the team, and they spoke extremely highly of the food too! Next time they come over, they insist on having another meal from The Beech Tree Fish Bar. Fantastic food, great service and great value - even if the queue is going down Ystrad high street, wait in line, it’s worth it! Keep up the great work! :)

Lovely food everytime for a good price too, always friendly and the chicken curry is amazing

This the 2nd time I've been here since Christmas. First time was really nice. 2nd time however, not so. Went here Mon 25th April 6pm ish. Ordered gravy and chips x2 fishcake x1 bread roll. Young blondish girl served me. Short. I could of sworn she used a MICROWAVE to cook my fishcake. Yes. She took the fishcake from the fridge and put it in the MICROWAVE for a few mins. Having left the shop and started to eat the food the food was no wear near the high quality of our first visit. The gravy was like water. The chips were v greasy. The fishcake was like rubber and the breadcrumb coating was SOGGY FROM THE MICROWAVE. YUK. AVOID. INFORMING ENVIROMENTAL HEALTH. DISGUSTING

Without a doubt the best chip shop in the area. Excellent service, good price and delicious every time. We go regularly on a Friday and order from big Nelson office’s and always faultless and thorough.

Good portion size and lovely tasting chips. Not too greasy ☺️ Fast service! Best Chippy in Ystrad.

Just ordered 3 cod and chips, portion small for the price, other chip shops give you more for your money, food at supermarket level nothing special, so on that basis it’s very expensive if it’s at supermarket level, I would not go there again, there’s 2 other chip shops in the area I would highly recommend, to the customer service was very poor as well

Always nice here clean and owner superb

Absolutely 💯 % recommend this place ..... the best fish and chips I've had in years. They deserve an award really ! ..... all food is great . And the Cod is cod ....... unlike some others palming off pollock as cod ..... Its a beautiful place to get food and staff are aMazing x

Really tasty and excellent value for money. Lovely and hot.

The chips I had today were probably the best I have ever tasted really lovely I will be visiting you again many thanks

Very cheap and well priced.£2.70 for chips and jumbo sausage.Food was nice aswell.

Fabulous place Always welcoming and pleasant staff, can deal with big orders as well very efficient and organised Fab food will recomend the place all the time best chips I've tasted

I love the Beech tree fish stop always been a good place it's always a happy shop I been go there for years when I was a young boy always there with mam and dad

Always went to The Beech chip shop however,the last twice I've been disappointed. The fish wasn't cooked fresh and the chips were almost cold ..the batter on fish was very greasy not like It used to be. . The reason I always went out of my way to buy from here was because it was all cooked fresh.i bought fish and chips yesterday evening around 5 pm and was worse than the time before,im sorry to say ill be giving them a miss in future, I dont mind waiting for it to be cooked,as long as its fresh. reluctantly ill go elsewhere in future until they improve. Such a shame. Revised review Called in tonight and what a change. Piping hot and freshly cooked. I must have called in at wrong time before but I'm glad I tried it again to my delight. Thank you.

Always my go to chip shop 8 miles each way but worth it .

Fish is just the best, service is spot on. Best place around for miles

Fresh cooked foods, good old fashioned chippy, no kebabs and other rubbish. Good size servings of cracking chips at a really good price.

Best fish and chip shop in wales

Excellent quality food friendly staff and very good prices exactly what you want from a good chippy

A pretty typical fish and chip shop offering the same kind of menu as hundreds of other similar establishments across South Wales. The food here is cooked well and the prices are reasonable. Chips are always good and rarely are they greasy, which is what you want from a decent bag of fried potato chunks. The staff are friendly and you always get service with a smile. However, this place is quite popular and as a result there can be a fairly large queue at peak times, especially when they're waiting for a batch of chips to be cooked. No nonsense, simple food done well.

Best chip shop around, great prices

Always a queue because the staff are terribly slow and half awake. Food is average.

Don't understand why this got lower ratings than thee other one. I much prefer this one, always a long queue there. Love the food and the prices are good. My favourite fish shop here.

Good prices and good service better than the other one in Ystrad and better prices and quality and more food for the money

Friendly staff, but only fish & chip shop that had no fish!!!!

Rubbish service .One of the worst chippy i have been to.

Incredible customer service, outstanding food and real value for money. I only go back here roughly about three times a year and I love popping in. The owners are so friendly and I enjoy chatting to the other customers and staff :) If only all chip shops were like this one :)

I luv the fish bar i been goin there for years coz they do luvly chips
