Caffi Sgadan in Ceredigion

One of the best chipshops in Wales.

The cod and chips is right up there with one of the best I’ve ever had. Lovely curry sauce too. Highly recommended. Diolch Cafi Sgadan 👍🏻

This seaside chippy with an extensive menu should get back to basics! Our family of four had a variety of items from their menu, we all found the chips unsatisfactory, a mixture of: small chips done to a crisp; thin unsatisfying chips seemingly cut from the edge of the potato; hardly any long regular chips. It felt like we had the scrapings from the bottom of the frier! It wasn't as if they were not busy, there was a queue out of the door on Sunday lunchtime! I would not have written this review were it not that I chose the Scampi, but when I opened the wrapper what I had appeared to be "battered cockles". This stuff contained zero langoustine, and to be sold as such is illegal! Now being on holiday, I had no intention of taking my lunch to the public analyst, it went straight in the bin! But I will be contacting Ceredigion County Council so their food inspectors can pay a visit to provide advice, before that I suggest this establishment does their research on the legal content of scampi.

Good food and very friendly staff

A very good fish and chip shop right on the beach with a car park opposite. High quality regular food items from a chippy, plus some unexpected items such as loaded fries which were a welcome surprise. Good range of icecreams on sale also. A little on the pricey side - chicken nuggets, loaded fries and a curry sauce £11.

Lovely fish and chips, crispy batter Mmmmmm

Fantastic fish and chip shop- probably the best I’ve ever had anywhere and I grew up by the seaside. Quick service reasonable prices and absolutely no faults.

Truly awful! Two hungry, non-fussy teenagers - both burgers went in the bin. Two hungry adults - fish went in the bin. Soggy, undercooked chips. Struggled to find the fish, as it was tiny and wrapped in an inch of soggy, fatty batter. If you like soggy chips and batter - fill your boots.

Popcorn cockles….what a change from fish or scampi and absolutely delicious

We’ll what can you say, tried numerous things from this chip shop and everything is delicious and incredibly fresh. Whether you have the god or the home made chicken curry it is exceptionally tasty. Fab team of staff there too….diolch

I have just ordered a large chips and small cod from this chip shop. When I opened it I was shocked at the two very small pieces of cod i have seen in 45 years. Think chicken nuggets for comparison. The staff told me that cod was expensive but my word, I gave it back as I will not be ripped off, inflation or not!! The Chips were ok. cost £8.

Nice food but verry small portion sizes for the price

Fantastic fish and chips by the beach, amazing service, they handle large orders well and have a great menu. Loaded chips were fantastic.

The cod and chips were the best cod and chips I’ve ever had….highly recommend

Brought 2 mini cod s n onion rings not cooked properly brought at 1.50pm Fri 21st

Can't beat fresh Fish & Chips by the sea. A beautiful, soft sandy, dog friendly beach to enjoy the meal. The ice cream here is lovely two. Polite and welcoming staff. Happy to visit again soon.

Arbennig- staff ddwy-ieithog lleol, bwyd ffresh a Rissoles homemade top class, best fish and chips - I’ll be back

Excellent fish & chips right by the beach. They also serve plenty of other options such as pies & sausage. The rissoles are very tasty and recommended. There are 2 small table outside but it is just a short walk to find a public bench so plenty of options if the weather is dry. The view is amazing & make sure to try the ice cream too

So good we went a couple of times during our stay in Aberporth. We're not usually a fan of fish and chips however as we were at the beach it would have been rude not to have got any. We had the best fish and chips we've ever had. The fish batter was wonderfully cooked - crisp and tasty and chips were cooked well too. My son particularly liked the squid and chips! A bit of a wait following the order but that may have been my timing. Certainly don't mind if the food is delicious - well done team! Would highly recommend.

Best fish and chips ever. OK, I know that eating them outside overlooking the beach adds to the experience, but still . . . These are the best.

Chips are of this world. The best chippy I have been to around the UK.....

Food was lovely. Best fish and chips also a favourite with the locals. Right on the beach with the perfect view! Ice cream was delicious also! (Mint choc chip)

Chips were really good, not too fat and not too thin and cooked with a bit of colour for extra taste and and a few crispy bits. Cod was moist and perfectly cooked, though a small criticism was the batter was a bit soft on the bottom but still had some crispiness. All freshly cooked. For a busy bank holiday weekend with the queue out the door the staff were friendly and efficient, so the wait wasn't too long.

Been visiting this chippy two or three times a year for the past few years. It seems that since the two other similar establishments have closed down, the prices have shot up ( as it is everywhere ) but also higher than those on their flyer. At the same time, the portions have shrunk. The so called large cod seems smaller than the small cod we have had previously. After many excellent previous experiences this time we were left very disappointed

Superb fish and chips. Thick, flakes of cod. Very hot. Lovely crisp batter. Cooked to order, so be prepared to wait a few minutes. You can sit on beautiful Aberporth beach to eat your dinner. What more could you ask for?

What can I say apart from the honest facts that this fish and chip shop is without a doubt one of the best chip shops I have had the pleasure of eating from. The staff are all very pleasant and talkative, the food is 1st class, and the whole shop is extremely clean. The shop is extremely well positioned with 2 beaches literally just across a road with one to the right and the other one to the left of the car parks. During the holidays, it even sells ice creams for the kiddies and the pub next door ( When it's open ) sometimes sells some stuff for the grown-ups too. It does get busy around lunchtime and teatime so be prepared for a bit of a wait. You will not be disappointed.

Wundervolles indisches Essen, riesen Auswahl, alles frisch zubereitet. Wir sind begeistert

Visited here to take our dog to the beach as we were staying nearby. Didn't intend to have fish and chips but the smell enticed us in! Two lovely friendly girls served up some tasty fish and chips that went down a treat! Good portion size of both the fish and the chips. Will definitely go back again the next time we are holiiday in the area.

Close to the beach with lovely fish and chips!

Delish, best chips in Aberporth by far. Would like a side of mozzarella dippers as they are delish. Diolch yn fawr

Absolutely lovely fish & chips would highly recommend. Great service, freshly cooked. Very good fish & chips are hard to find but this place nails it.

1st time in this place Friendly staff We had sausage and chips with mushy peas and curry sauce Well worth a visit to this place

Cod and chips for £8.40.Well,cod anyway. The fish was ok, but the chips were scrag ends that chippies used to give away to kids. Disappointed.

Excellent service and quality of food, an eat in option would have been a great addition - pobol lleol cymdeithasol - ardderchog

Called to ask if they offer Gluten free and they don’t. Very disappointed

Been loads of times now. This chippy never disappoints. The portions are very generous, even the little ones. Best fresh fish I've had for ages - no need for a large fish either, the small one will fill you! Gorgeous gravy - lovely crispy chips - if you don't like crispy chips, this is not the chippy for you. 10/10

cooked fresh to order, had to wait a bit for the fish but worth the wait, a good portion. possibly frying new potatoes but they were tasty.

Great quality and good portions.

Very average food but very expensive

Still the best Fish and Chips A*

Seem to use their location to bump prices up. 17 pounds for 2 cod and chips. Have had better and the service wasn't brilliant.

Great food, Amazing chips and fabulous staff x

Cod is £5.80 but well worth it! You can get a smaller portion. The cod and chips were freshly cooked and delicious. The best we've had for years.

Ideal location for tasty fish and chips treat on the beach.

Delicious cod and chips. Mouth watering. Totally fresh an chips hand cut. Yummy. Blasus Iawn!!!

We enjoyed our fish and chips but the family were split over the chips. Half thought they were excellent and liked that they were smaller than usual; half didn't! But all liked the fish. Would return

Staff friendly, delicious fish and chips and best curry sauce I've tasted

Well happy with chips here to enjoy on the beach, friendly service.

Excellent fish and chips. Superb service and everything cooked fresh.

Big portions, fresh cooked, eaten looking over the sea- seaside holiday bliss. The large fish IS large. The normal is pretty darn big too!

Ordered the food took a ticket. Taken extra long as they lost the track of my order. Received a brief sorry which is okay. The batter of fish was slightly overcooked. Chips were not top quality.

What a marvellous fish and chip shop this is. Third visit just as good as the last two. Had the large fish, large chips and gravy - honestly it was too much - even for me! Next time I'll plump for a small fish and...

All of us, a family of five got the fish & chips, the portions were good and they tasted gorgeous, staff were friendly and polite and the price was cheaper than a chip shop we visited In Cardigan a day earlier.

We visited Caffia Sgadan twice as we enjoyed the food, having said that we agree with other reviewers. On both visits we had as many little crispy bits as we did chips. .The chips were a little bigger than a French Fry but not the...

Nice little chip shop right by the sea. Decent food and prices high but not extortionate.

Perfect location on the beachfront. Staff friendly and not a long wait for food. Only 10p per sachet of sauce which is a fair price compared to other places I have been. The sausage for me was quite bland but my partner said his pie...

V. good fish and chips. Best I had in a while. Batter was crispy and thin. Lovely ice creams too. Da iawn daliwch ati!

Best fish and chips in ages, curry sauce and gravy were great too.

Would have given the review 5 stars, but I ordered large Cod from here three times, yes, it is superb Quality. You might wonder why the four stars? My first two large Cod were so tasty, light batter, plenty fish, could not fault it. But...

Second visit. Small fish and chips - gravy - two ice creams. Best Fish & Chips by a mile - and my wife is fussy!! Extremely friendly and helpful staff - see you again in July!

Chips were not to my taste, they were thin and crispy like scraps of batter. Fish was dried out and the batter not pleasant to eat.

Although it was an extremely busy bank holiday! Staff were efficient and organised! Food cooked to perfection! Can’t wait to return to try some more of their delicious menu! Da iawn. Diolch.

Enjoyed a fish supper,great price for amazing food the cod was to die for, the chippy has been totally revamped with remarkable service, staff attentive.

Although the prices were reasonable, the food quality wasn't amazing. The chips seemed a little bigger than a French Fry, but not the size of standard chip shop chips. There were also lots of little crispy bits. The batter could do with being a bit...

Absolutely outstanding fish and chips. Great value and portions. The gravy was lovely too! Friendly service with a smile from the two ladies serving us. Went back and had double ice cream - superb! 10/10. We're going back again for more fish and chips this...

Couldn’t call the portion actual chips. More like tiny bits of chips! All the last Dreges of the chip pan it seems! Not a single proper chip! Sausage was old and wrinkled but with fresh batter and the curry was artificial tasting and too hot....

Lovely chippy with golden crispy chips. Staff are very friendly, definitely will go again

Beautiful chips. What you see in the picture on line stop just a minute and compere. Freshly prepared and cooked to perfection.

Excellent fish and chips, friendly people as well

Excellent chips again served by the lovely Rachel

Excellent fish & chips, 5 star food hygiene rating, this chip shop is spotless. Staff very pleasant and friendly and views from the carpark opposite are amazing. Cannot fault this place at all.

Best fish and chips in a long time! Nothing more to say really apart from beautiful fish, crisp and tasty batter and amazing chips

Chicken chunks were excellent! Light batter, crispy, juicy. Surprising little find

Top class fish and chips as well as plenty of them👌

Old cafe has bee replaced by a nice new cafe and chip shop. Fish and Chips were delicious. Great spot right next to the beach.

Spur of the moment decision to pop in after a visit to the beach. Staff really friendly and food delicious. Kids had sausage baps and a cone of chips, grown ups large and small fish and chips. Chips best we’ve had in an age and...

The fish and chips were amazing, the best I’ve had in a long time! The staff were very helpful and very friendly! Thank you!

Thoroughly enjoyed our cod and chips whilst overlooking the sea. The batter was also excellent, very light and crispy. Good to see the recent expansion of the premises.

Had fish and chips here twice while on holiday, really fresh and hot as cooked to order, tasted amazing and reasonably priced. Staff were really friendly.

It was a proper treat having our chips from here and sitting across the road above the bay to eat them straight from the paper. Really good chips , super scampi and very friendly staff. They also do calamari or squid . Then rounded off...

I have visited a few fish and chip shops in west Wales but this is best fish and chips I have ever had hands down!

Great food. Outside was a little disorganised as you couldn't tell who was queueing and who had ordered though.

Been a few years back and had lovely food. Called on Oct 6th 2020 and looked like it was closed for renovations.

We ate there last year and I’m pleased to say the quality hasn’t altered despite these trying times. Nice traditional little chippie, good value for money.

Good fish and chips and an excellent view over the bay

Great fish and chips, the curry sauce they do is great as well. Very busy but worth the wait , great to eat while looking out at the sea.

Good fish and chips right by the seaside.

Great service and delicious food! The fish and chips were freshly cooked and lovely and crispy. Although we had a large order (of more than 10 people - the food was ready in 5 minutes. Plenty of choice on the menu from Calamari to Pies....

We had fish & ships here several times over the last months and have never been disappointed. The option to have a small rather than a large portion is great. Opening times are a bit limited, unless the place is very busy it seems to...

Freshly cooked fish and tasty chips, if I have one criticism it would be the early closing (which can catch the unwary traveller out).

had pie and chips and although the chips were very nice there was a lot of hard ones and the pie was hard crusty not great. good thing about this place to me was being able to cross the road and sit on the bench,s...

Loved it here, fresh handmade chips and the best spring roll I've ever eaten. My daughter also loved her burger and chips very much. Highly recommend the place, friendly staff and great food.

Fish was cooked to order, though my husband says it was the smallest piece of cod that he'd ever seen. Chips and sausages were tasty. Our only disappointment was the size of the portions when compared to the amount they charge. Small portions (When compared...

Picked up fish and chips for the family from here. Service was quick and polite enough. The fish was cooked fresh and generally the food was tasty enough, but the portion sizes were underwhelming. I found the overall cost of what we ordered was expensive...

enjoyed a lovely and generous fish and chips overlooking the sea

Great chips! All the family enjoyed - fish, chicken chunks, pie.

Excellent chips, whole family enjoyed their meals: fish, pie, chicken chunks, onion rings. Busy little place so a bit of a wait but the meal hit the spot.

My family was undecided about what they wanted to eat and where but I took charge and drove to Aberporth. We shared cod bites and chips and sat on one of the benches across the road and watched several dolphins in the sea. The food...

Loved the fish and chips from here, mushy peas, less good. £13.70 for Large Cod and Chips, Small cod and chips and two mushy peas. Sat on the amazing beach lapping these up. The best thing was they cooked them fresh and personally I love that, I'd much rather enjoy freshly cooked and wait. The batter was amazing for some 'meaty' fish and the chips were spot on too. Sometimes rare to get both. Probably the best chippy around and the cafe looks pretty good too.
