Captains Rendezvous in Ceredigion

We have used this fish shop for over 20 years and not once been disappointed until Easter Tuesday. Decided to stop off on our way home for tea and ate in. Service was quite speedy and the cup of tea was lovely but other than that I have nothing nice to say about this restaraunt. The chips were burnt and inedible, the fish was quite chewy as if it had been there a while and the pie crust was hard. We learnt that it had changed hands which is understandable as we have never saw such rubbish being served by the previous owners. They take your money when you order which doesn’t surprise me because had they not I would have refused to pay it was that bad. I also heard other customers complaining. Avoid at all costs

Me and my two teens wanted a bite to eat. We sat inside due to a rainy day. The place was quiet despite it being Easter holidays. I now know why. 3x Fish and Chips, 2 pots of Gravy, and 3 cans of pop for £50!!! I could not believe it. I checked the recipet three times I was so taken aback. A chippy lunch had just cost the same as a sit down 2-course meal at a gastro pub the night before. Was it amazing? No. Was it stand out - awe- inspiring- best chip shop experience of our lives? No. Was it a huge portion, No (despite being charged but not asked for a large portions). It really set the tone for the whole day. I understand rising costs of running hospitality businesses, I also understand the cost of produce has risen - but this, was nothing more than 'got you where they want you' opportunism. Shameful.

Lovely food, we took away and ate while sitting outside overlooking the beach. Lovely fish and chips, great value for money.

Great staff and quick service even on the Easter weekend. Had a nice chat with the proprietors whilst waiting. Sat down on the quay, watching the holidaymakers enjoying the sunshine (I'm local) and the chips were spot on, nice and crispy, a good portion, and a nice price. Will definitely revisit in the future.

What a let down! Came here last night.for soggy fish & chips batter flat no taste All for £11 Always came here when visited new quay wales Won't be again! As chucked it away

Extremely greasy, soggy batter and the chips weren't very good. Even the can of pop tasted old. The grease repeated on me for hours. Bloody expensive too. Don't bother...

Absolutely superb fish and chips! Ate here twice as they were that good! Under new management and even though decent before it is way better now! Chips are to die for and fish freshly cooked with really crispy light batter! Curry sauce superb too! Keep up the good work and see you in 2024!!!!

Great service and quality. Good value for money. Staff friendly.

Visit once or twice every time we come to New quay, by far the best fish and chip shop there! Tried the others and not a patch on this place. Cod was so tasty, batter light and crispy ( no uncooked sludge on the inside), and chips were gorgeous, too. Spot on every time.

If you want really good fish & chips... this is the place

Lovely light and crispy battered fish and tasty excellently fried chips curry sauce was good too! We had a take out and ate it on tables overlooking the sea.

Nice fish and chips restaurant. Good value for money and good portion size. Eat in or takeaway. Food cooked fresh to order, cod and chips nice and crispy and not swimming in oil. Seperate childrens menu available

Staff were so genuinely warm and friendly that it cheered me up. Even the young boy doing the tables was super polite and efficient Lovely chips and the portions were so huge, I struggled to walk out

The cod and sausage were comme ci, comme ca. Chips and Diet Coke 10/5! Truest place in town! Defo recommend

We had Cod and chips and they were really nice just how we like them. The ice cream was great too. 👍 The service was fast and very friendly and its situated in a very nice location. Terrific

Went for fish and chips with my wife. By far the best fish I have ever had and the chips were fantastic. Nothing too greasy and the fish was just perfect. Really friendly and helpful service too. Keep doing what you’re doing. Excellent

Take away fish and chips excellent! Best we’ve had in New Quay for 60 years and there’s been a lot of choice in that time. New owners this year - they cook and serve the food themselves and have many years of experience in the business. You won’t be disappointed!

The best chips I've ever had. Beautiful battered fish. Super nice staff. Great ice cream. Lovely time. Right by the beach too. Would recommend.

Fish was dry and overcooked. Definitely not fresh. Tasted like defrosted in microwave.

A brilliant chippy ,far better than the 'hip' chippy that everyone goes (by the harbour) Do yourself a favour get the curry sauce I'd say its by far the best I've ever had ! Beautiful food topped off with brilliant friendly staff 👌

We ordered 2 childrens sausage and chip a large cod and chip pie and chips with extra sausages for the children wow the chips and the fish the best I have had delicious and I was pleasantly surprised that the children even got a bottle of pop in with there meal well with the money I paid 5* rating of the whole family

Haven't been here in eleven years and it was as good as I remember it. We sat inside and the food was very tasty and reasonably priced. It was spotless inside. The staff were friendly and polite.

Very over priced and stingy portions. Rip off

Very good, although I would say they don't give many chips, 3x cod and chips plus a mushy peas came to £29. Food was good and fish was a good size too

I live in a seaside town and went on holiday, we went to New Quay had a good time and decided on takeaway fish and chips. We had the best fish n chips I’ve had in years, the batter was beautifully crispy the chips were real potatoes properly cooked, perfect, sheer joy sitting on the wall looking at the view eating the best fish n chips in years thank you 😁

We must of had the worst fish and chips ever when we visited. the fish had been there that long that it tasted stale, the chips were yesterdays as they had that old potato taste and at 30quid for three of us absolutely shocking

Worst chips we have ever had if you could call them chips more like scraps....the sausage was extremely small and very poor quality. Ambiance poor, would never eat here again and would definitely not recommend this highly over price poor quality chip shop

We were in New quay and needed something for lunch so as we were walking past decided to eat in. Staff were lovely and the place was clean and tidy, but the food was average at best sadly. Really generous portions, but the chips and cod were over cooked and we ended up leaving over half of our meals. I wouldn’t choose to eat here again.

Excellent value, friendly service, magnificent fish & chips. Highly recommend.

The staff were friendly but the food wasn’t great! Pie and chips, the pie was microwaved so it was rubbery instead of flaky pastry and the burger was basic. Ok place if you are starving like we were and this was the first place we came across. Nice location looking out over the sea!

We are regular customers and live in New Quay. Last night we had tw portions of cod and chips. Everything was overcooked and dry. The chips were probably the end of a cooking run as they were very small and hard and inedible. I hate complaining especially about local businesses but felt it necessary on this occasion as I think you may like a genuine feedback. We support you because you are open most of the year and not just for the tourist season so therefore look after the locals

We used to use this fish shop every time we visited Newquay ,used to be good,but last time we came they cut a large fish in half & served it as a whole one plus meagre portion of chips which were soggy this time we had lime crab f&c & they were far superior maybe pricey but you do get large portions lime crab every time for us now.

The best food I’ve had, was greeted as soon as I walked in, staff are so well mannered and friendly, looking forward to going back again. Definitely recommend.

Super impressed with the fish & chips we had on the weekend! Takeaway was fantastic and a great spot for a weekend treat! We’ll definitely be back!

Honestly the best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time. Customer service was amazing, everyone was so kind and polite. Will definitely be back again to try more things on the menu.

The chicken burger was inedible, I had to spit it out, it didn't even taste like chicken. The chips were absolutely dreadful, no flavour, I wouldn't feed it to the seagulls. The cod was like fish fingers, the batter was appalling. The workers were very rude and when we asked for salt and vinegar on the chips (in an attempt to make them taste like anything) they forgot the vinegar. Honestly the worst meal I've ever eaten, would strongly recommend not going.

Worst meal of my life Chicken burger not chicken Chips were a disgrace Staff rude and incompetent Never going back It should be closed on grounds of quality

good price, great selection and tasty food just watch out for those seagulls

Generous portions and nicely cooked. We ate in and couldn't manage all the chips!

Best fish and chips in New Quay. Friendly helpful staff, views over the bay. New owner in 2023 and with the quality of food and service provided they will do very well.

Worse fish and chips ever. Meagre portion and certainly not worth the money. All batter and very little fish. Disappointing end to a perfect day in lovely New Quay last Saturday.

Very disappointing compared to last years visit. Asked for 2 fish and large chips. Put together in paper bag. Not asked if want separate. Batter overcooked. Chips not great. Cost £16. Thought it funny no queue esp being half term. Will b my last visit.

One of few Chippies with Haddock on the Menu, Always cooked Perfectely. My Favourite Chippy in West Wales, They even double wrap for me so nothing goes cold on way home :)

A delightful visit! So wonderful to hear the staff speaking Welsh and offering welsh lessons whilst waiting for fish and chips, which were excellent. The staff are just lovely! Thank you for being so kind and welcoming!

FANTASIC! Had the small cod and chips with a small sausage on the side. Every bite was great and was sad when the meal was over! I’m visiting from Canada and will tell ALL my fellow Canadians to visit The Captain’s Rendezvous if they want...

Great chip shop. Plus they have slushies and ice cream 😁

Popped in as heard it was under new management and was pleasantly surprised with how nice the food was, ordered large chips and cod bites and both were amazing!! Big portions and the best cod bites me and my family had ever tasted, could not...

Friendly service good food at a fair price 👌

Absolutely lovely people to be greated by. The staff made us feel so welcome from the moment we stepped in. We went on a Sunday evening in April following the bank holiday weekend and even though it had been quite quiet during the day from the staffs accounts we were treated to beautifully cooked fish and chips which we took out to eat on the pier. It must also be said that the way the food was packaged made for easy eating but more importantly relaxed eating as the risk of seagulls coming in to attack was reduced due to the bags that thr food was in. Again it must be said that the food was beautiful - meaty fish and crispy batter with beautiful chips. This alongside the welcoming and warm staff made our Sunday evening meal a delight. Thank you again and we will be back!

Went in on a cold and wet day for some warming food. Gorgeous Cheesy Chips - very friendly & welcoming staff - highly recommend

Ordered haddock & chips cooked fresh lovely Cod & chips very nice Outside a bit confusing we waited to be served by the outside window only to be told 10 minutes later QUES inside then had to wait 10 more minutes fir the haddock to...

If you happen to be visiting New Quay and fancy a bite to eat I can recommend The Captains Rendezvous Fish and Chip restaurant. The staff were very pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble. The portion sizes were generous and the fish and chips tasted...

Really nice sausage and chips, will be back.

Read online they offer Gluten Free fish and chips on a Friday! Great!! Off to go to sit by the sea with our supper…. Only to be told no they don’t offer it?!!! Why state you do?!!! Sooo disappointed! One very hungry and hangry lady.

Great fish and chips and other hot foods , nice choice of hot and cold drinks , great service , lovely and clean and you can sit inside

Called in for a takeaway Fish & Chips tonight. Good service and excellent food. Veggie options also available for my wife.

Great fish and chips, cooked fresh and to perfection! Extremely friendly staff too, thank you!

Visited on the day that new owners took over. Very pleasant staff but slow service as they were busier than expected, sure this will improve. Fish & chips were excellent and good sized portions. Will certainly return.

One of the best chippys in the UK

Great fish and chips, reasonably priced (thank you) and served with steaming hot tea and friendly service. Also given real fish knives and forks with which to enjoy this fab lunch! Tim

Excellent freshly cooked Chips with friendly staff you can chat to while waiting,would recommend

Excellent service , very friendly and they also let our dog in the restaurant. ( as long as trained and clean )The fish and chips were yummy and the restaurant was very clean . Great value for money , huge portions 😃

Lovely chips and people working here.

When I come back as a pirate I want to rendezvous with you at this amaaaazing Chippy. When that crispy cod convoluted my tastebuds I almost had a premature death thanks for that I have high cholesterol

Checked the opening times on the website, which said it was open until 8.30 Weds evening, went there last night at 5.3p pm, to find it all in darkness, please update your opening hours

My 2 daughters called in for an ice cream having saw the picture in the window of the strawberry knickerbocker glory. Came out with a plastic cup filled halfway with ice cream. No sauce. No topping. No flake. Total rip off. Might be out of...

Fantastic, everything cooked fresh.

lovely sausage, pastie and chips. coffee is lovely too

Absolutely beautiful fish and chips. Also the gravy is amazing. Best I've had in years. Quick service by friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Went this Tuesday. Sat inside, the fish special, was special. Very good, wife said best fish ever.

Bit of a wait due to lack of staff. Nice food though.

One of the highlights of a trip to the seaside is always fish and chips, but sadly it was not to be on this occasion. We visited midweek at around 5pm only to find a number of items on the menu 'unavailable' which seemed odd....

One of the best places to go for Cod and Chips. Cod is thick and flaky, batter is tasty and beautifully crunchy. Chips are damn good too......throw in a pot of mushy peas and I'm sorted

Decided to try fish and chips here as the place was busy,big mistake waited about 20 minutes to be served,my order was taken I was told my fish would be 5 minutes,I have mobility problems 25 MINUTES! later I received my order, the young woman...

Ordered 2 x fish, chips and peas. Had to wait a while but it was lovely. I suppose it's worth waiting for if food is fresh and tasty when you get it.

Expect to wait but food was lovely

Quality of food poor, ordered cod and chips, cod was rectangular which you'd normally associate with frozen food, and it certainly tasted like it. Based on how long we had to wait given there was only 2 people in front of us you'd think it was cooked to order, but it tasted rubbery, batter not crisp, and given the price and where it was I would have expected so much more! Not for us!

Far too busy for the amount of staff on . Waited 45 mins in the shop to get served and then told to stand and wait for your number to be called . There was approx 30 families in front of me and in the...

Superb location overlooking the beach it is not surprising that there were extensive queues. Staff kept there head and us tourists were amenable in the sunshine.Food well cooked and plenty of it with space nearby to sit and watch as the world went by. Of...

No haddock, small amount of scampy and warm small chips

The central location probably keeps this place afloat. Whilst the food was hot and portion size good - the batter on the fish was flat and greasy and remarkably tasteless. Chips were average at best and the service was functional - no smiles from any...

When it's busy ring your order ahead of you can. We queued for quite a while to order then had to wait for our food. No ones fault it was just a busy Friday night in the school holidays. We were relieved when we ate our fish and chips and they were great. Fresh fish and tasty chips.

Really enjoyed the food from here. Better than the other chip shop which is near by. The fish was flakey and beautiful and the chips were fab too.

Staff have a terrible attitude towards customers. They seem to have forgotten if they didn't have customers they wouldn't have a business!

Amazing fish and chips, fresh light and crisp. There's an eat in option which is done as a self serve to prioritise the takeaway, and save you money. Better than getting fish and chips in a restaurant and you can use your fingers too! Very highly recommended!

No stars!! Keep clear!!!! Fish/chips /fish fingers /sausage/curry sauce Everything was inedible!! What a waste of money Owner and waiter weren't very pleasant and could do with looking more hygienic and scrubbed

The usual fish and chips. Liked it. Friendly service.

Saturday 23rd July 2022, approx 8pm - A long queue to order then another long queue for the order to be handed over. Approx 45 mins from start to finish. I was served 2 haddock that had been in the warning cabinet before I had...

Great portion size, delicious fish and battered sausage. Would recommend! Veggie breaded sausage was really lovely. Curry sauce was great.

Excellent service,politeness,friendly good portions of cod and place more chips than we could eat..not rushed as some places are to get you in and out as soon as possible

Excellent fish and chips (had the haddock). One of the best anywhere

We sailed up to new quay from llangrannog today to get lunch at the captain rendezvous and as usual absolutely fantastic - we are a family of 6 we had fish, chips, pies and sausage in batter and absolutely brilliant - highly recommend!

Two other takeaways were not currently offering haddock, so w tried the Captains and enjoyed it. The chips could not be faulted, the fish was a generous portion, but a bit heavy on the batter for our liking. Good service, not expensive.

The Good: Inside of the restaurant (from what I saw) was very nice. The bad: Ordered my food and sat down. Was then told I did not pay the extra fee for sitting in. I asked how much extra I’d need to pay but I was ignored. I was never given the option to eat in or takeaway and there were no signs stating this either but was forced to leave. Staff were not friendly in the slightest. DO NOT ORDER THE HOMEMADE CHICKEN NUGGETS. Very undercooked and the inside of the nugget made me question whether it was actually chicken I was eating.

Decent fish and chips. Very sociable staff. Clean and tidy.

I went to newkey on a day out with family, we went to get some fish and chips from here, the staff are very friendly, however I did have a bad stomach after eating here because of lactose intollerance, if you have a intollerance or...

With evening restaurant choices limited in New Quay we decided to eat in here, that was a big mistake. The food was awful. And service was unpleasant. The chicken nuggets were processed minced up chicken. We were so sorry we didn’t just get a take...

Expected a decent bit of cod being in this location and at £10 for a cod and chips, but was sadly mistaken chips tasted like they where from the day before heated in the oven , and cod i think had probally been in feezer...

The spring rolls are a favourite of mine, absolutely beautiful, great service. 🙂

Absolutely fantastic fish and chips
