Only went in as oshear was closed next door. I knew as I read the gavin and Stacey's favourite sign, whatever, they've never been here as guess what, They're fake. Greasy soft chips, cold fish cake. 6 quid. Rubbish. Oh and vinegar goes before salt

Very disappointed by the battered cod, one end was thick and chunky, the other thin and chewy. Chips were hot and perfectly cooked.

Can’t fault it. Always busy. Great service. I was with my dogs, which was a bit of a struggle as I was on my own with them. The lad who brought me my cod bites chips and my cup of tea outside was really good with his customer Service and I wanted to thank him. Saturday 19.10.24. 3pm.

It was ok is the easiest way to review it. Huge queues and not very big portions. Food was nice though although prices. I think it very much trades off the Gavin & Stacey link as to why & how it survives. I wish I had gone next door as it was cheaper!

I visited this place at around 12pm, and it wasn’t busy. I was watching the lady infront of me being served , and the lad serving literally launched her satchels across the counter . She didn’t say anything, but she was visibly annoyed. Same again when it came to my order, there was zero in terms of please or thanks. I said “THANYOU out loud, but he just completely ignored me.So I thought well maybe they’re just confident in their food. The chips were greasy and undercooked, and the cod was just about acceptable. When compared to what you get from other chippies these days, it was shocking! I think that they take the no effort needed approach due to the publicity from the telly.

Had Cheesy chips with a jumbo sausage and curry on the side and a coke. Was perfect. Not too expensive and the food was exactly what I'd want from a traditional chippy. The portion of chips wasn't huge but I did feel full after. I'd come back 😊 thank you.

The lady with short hair taking our order in line was very rude and mocked my immigrant mum for trying to order in English. She even went to the next customer behind us and said something about my mum begin her back. The line there was long and we stood in the same spot of 10 minutes. Would not recommend this place at all. Even the small shop a few minutes away was much better and nicer compared to Boofys.

I went to Boofy's on a Sunday and I was quite underwhelmed. I don't usually write reviews as bullet points, but I think they are needed here. Good points: - you get lots of chips. - there's a nice view of the beach. Less good points: - it's expensive. I paid £10.50 for a fish and chips (split £7.50/£3) and then went back and paid another £5 for a new piece of fish as mine got stolen by a seagull outside. If I hadn't dealt with a lovely staff member then my new piece of fish would have been full price. This is pricier than most fish suppers that I've had from my local establishments on the south coast of England, even though they too are located in/near well-known seaside towns. - the wall signage is quite difficult to discern actual meal prices from, as there are so many options displayed. Most people around me were ordering typical fish and chip type combinations, but the menu was not arranged to show the most popular choices/combinations first. - I am still unsure where the real opening hours are published. It seems that they are different than the ones published on Apple Maps and on Facebook. This is quite unserious for a business, especially one with notoriety because of Gavin & Stacey. I went on a Sunday and watched it close up shortly afterwards, at a different time to the one I had seen published anywhere. They also don't have a website. - there is no signage in the shop about the seagull problem on that part of the beach. Trust me, say the word and I personally will make you some catchy Gavin & Stacey themed signage (think: 'O, mind the gulls' with a picture of Nessa). In absence of signage, I would have appreciated being warned about the gulls when I indicated that I wanted to take my food away rather than eating in. You don't see the gulls until you leave (it must be psychological), or in my case until you sit on the wall and have one fly right at you, take your fish and leave you scared. I was on my own and it's the most horrible experience I've had as a solo traveller. If I'd known, either through verbal indication or through some helpful signage, I would have made advantage of the small amount of seating inside the shop. I would love to return to Boofy's one day, but I can't quite pluck up the courage to do so. It might not even be open, after all, and those gulls aren't inviting.

Poor end to a good day.The food was decent chip shop grub. Cannot complain too much on that front. However some of the staff were pretty shocking. The cooks were using extremely foul language, which seems inappropriate with the amount of children around, especially as I had my boy with me. When I asked if there were any gluten free options for him, the bloke told me I was in the wrong place for that, despite it saying on Google there were gluten free options. Maybe stress on a busy day, but still not great.

Disgraceful service, asked for gluten free chips and was told the fryers are clean and chips are cooked separately to avoid cross contamination. Very clearly labelled gluten free chips all over shop. After eating chips, about 2 hours later and I am already in agony with stomach pain and throwing up due to having coeliac disease and the chips being contaminated. I am at extreme discomfort, stuck in the middle of barry island throwing my guts due to this shops carelessness and lies about gluten free. Would not recommend if going with dietary restrictions. APPALLING!!!!

Food is always lovely, sat inside for the first time since Covid which is nice to be out of the cold. My dad is a fussy eater and he ordered minced beef and onion pie and said it’s the best one he’s eaten in a long time. Would’ve been 5 starts but unfortunately the tables were left unclean with salt and sauces left by previous customers for roughly 20-30 minutes which I noticed because that’s how long I was stood in the queue for. It’s a shame because this let them down.

They are still preparing and serving great fish and even better chips. I normally have the cod bites and chips but opted for the fish this time which was nice but it wasn't as filling and satisfactory as the cod bites. My daughter had the curry and chips and said they were delicious. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Decided to have fish & chips here based on previous TripAdvisor reviews. We accepted that because of its popularity that we would have to queue. The owner, very sensibly, asked us whilst in the queue what we would be ordering. A good move to ensure that fish & pie stocks were there ready & waiting for us. Managed to get a table….ok, so it was a bit ‘rough & ready’ but that’s what we were expecting. Hot and tasty food although I do wish they wouldn’t microwave the pies!! Good value and a good place to stop, especially inside to avoid the extremely annoying gulls!

Had a brilliant lunch here. Some booths indoors and a couple of tables outside for seating but we were lucky to get a table at lunchtime. We arrived just before the lunchtime rush and had a short queue, but the time we left the queue was around the corner! The chef does proactively check what people in the queue need cooking so the queue does move at a fair speed. Well priced, very tasty, we all enjoyed the meal.

My family of 4 were stood outside of O'Shea's, waiting for them to open up. They were late and an employee of Boofy's told us we were queuing outside the wrong one! I thought that was cheeky, but the reviews of this chippy seemed good enough to try. Aren't we glad O'Shea's were late! Boofy's was brilliant! Honestly the best fish, chips and mushy peas since I can remember! The batter was so light, crispy and cooked to perfection! The chips were also light and crispy! Mushy peas were perfect consistency. The fish is cooked to order so be aware of a 10 minute wait. It's worth it though! Reasonably priced menu compared to where I live in the midlands made for a happy wallet! If I'm ever in Barry Island again, I hope nothing changes and you're just as good as you were today! Thank you!

I wanted to write in as I think your staff need to have some compassion and think of how others feel and what they deal with . I visited today with My boy who is 9. He has celebral palsy and autism. He is in a wheelchair. We visited yourselves at 4.30 I queued up for ages as I could see you had seating. He struggles to balance his food in his wheelchair and needs a table to eat. He also has a massive phobia of seagulls. He has had them fly down and take food whilst he was eating in his wheelchair as he takes a while. When I got near the front I could see the seating was closed off. I asked politely and explained to an older lady with short hair could we sit down quickly. The tables hadn't been wiped down and still had things on them. She said if she did it for us she would have to do it for everyone. I didn't see the problem she could see he was in a wheelchair. Even the woman behind felt it was mean when she heard our conversation. I couldn't be asked to say anything I was tired from pushing him on the beach in his wheelchair and just wanted to sit down for Two minutes and have chips myself . I ordered for him and left. Went to Marcus next door and they were lovely and even though I had chips they let me sit down. I offered to buy a coffee but said no need to and understood. I also noticed this woman employed by you was really unkind and abrupt with the young staff. Marcos have lovely customer service and understanding with customers with disabilities maybe this woman should take a leaf out of their books.

I’ll keep it simple and to the point! I don’t like fish and chips, they’re greasy the batter makes me feel sick and chips are never a slight golden brown. Fish and chips shops pride themselves on this and yet they miss the mark ever so slightly. The chips are yellow and the batter is on the darker side of golden brown. THIS PLAICE (pun intended) ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT. GOLDEN CRISP CHIPS AND THE FISH WAS CRISPY FLAKEY AND NOT GREASY!!! The side of tartar and a lemon slice added an extra touch but to be honest it didn’t need it! BEST FISH AND CHIPS I HAVE EVER HAD. Staff behind the counter were pleasant and chatty and service was quick and straight forward for a large order! can’t wait until my next visit!!!

The best fish and chips in the area! The fish is made to order (they ask the queue to get them going before you even order to minimise your wait) and is absolutely fantastic. Crisp batter but not overdone, the fish is fresh and delicious. And the chips, oh my god, they are great! Maybe it's something about the sea air and being literal metres from the beach, but they are some of the best chipshop chips I have had in a long time! Gravy? Curry sauce? Peas? Boofy's have got you covered. Well worth it, even if there's a queue (it moves quickly!). Would recommend!

3 chippies in a row. Naturally gravitated towards this one being a huge Gavin and Stacey fan and it didn’t disappoint. Some of the best chips I’ve had in a long time, excellent sausage and the fish looked immense. Being a seaside beach front and riding still on the G&S wave, they could charge more but I was pleasantly surprised to get a really good portion of chips for £3.50. A large bag in Bristol can cost me £4 or more these days so this made for a nice change to getting ripped off in these types of places. Highly recommended and passing people sat outside of the chippies either side, it’s fair to say that Boofys looked a cut above and no doubt tasted a cut above. Highly recommended 10/10 Tidy !

Amazing food, definitely one of the best fish n chips I’ve ever had. Made all the better for the jolly, fun and delightful staff. Well worth a visit. Thanks all, Mr Van Halen.

I am absolutely disgusted at the way the staff spoke to my family, I will NOT disclose names but (the person with grey hair and old) spoke to my son in an unacceptable manor I will be going to head office in due course if...

Love Boofys!! Go there everytime we are at Barry Island. The chips are gorgeous. Can't beat them - right by the seaside. With a pot of curry sauce. Delicious!!

Awful bottomless brunch. Would not recommend at all. Order was taken 15 minutes after we sat down, we wouldn't mind but when we're on a timeframe and the staff were all stood talking at the bar, blatantly aware we were waiting to be served just opposite them, there wasnt an excuse. One of our party had to actually go over and ask if we needed to order at the bar or we would come and be served. It took another five minutes for someone to come take our order. We were sat right below a bit flat screen TV when a sporting event was going on and the place was loud, we couldn't hear each other speak! We had to chase our food order which was pre ordered because it just never came...and when it did, one of the dishes was incorrect. The food itself was a let down. The burger was literally a slice of chicken, a slice of chorizo and a bun. It sounds far more fancy on the menu. All the food was lukewarm at best and due to the other dish being late we couldn't eat at the same time. Ordered drinks that never came, chased them up because it had been near 25 minutes...to be told they'd be with us soon. Then another waitress comes along and asks us if we want more drinks. We informed her we'd just chased up the ones we ordered. When the drinks were finally brought, we were told we had five minutes left on the table...fifteen minutes before our time was actually up! We kindly said that we had been left waiting for drinks and food and there is no way we can down a cocktail in five minutes after it was late in the first place...to then be told abruptly by the waitress they had another booking after us. Sorry but that isn't our problem? If you operate things on a conveyer belt and then are lax with your service how is that our fault? We didn't receive any apology at all and we just felt like we were forgotten about the whole time. The downstairs female toilets were also overflowing with water and no sign was put outside to warn people or inform them to use the other one upstairs. Overall I'd never recommend this place or come back

Absolutely delicious fish and chips and made fresh to order. The best in Cardiff! The fish batter melts in the mouth and the cod has the skin taken off which is brilliant.
