Stumbled across this place whilst we were on holiday at Sarnau. Kids wanted fish and chips so after walking around cardigan we grabbed food from here, Queue was big (good sign) but they soon got through everyone. We then went back to the caravan. Still piping hot. Chips were the best I’ve had in years from a chip shop. Fish was lovely too. Batter was perfect. Not too thick of battery or sickly. Was so good we returned at the end of the holiday too.

8.50 for the tiniest fish and literally 15 chips mostly refried bits. 3 meals costing over £28 ! Sorry but being a local I can’t justify the cost. Mushy peas very strange to .

Absolutely awful experience, have eaten at here many of times and never a issue, found hair in my food, when told a waitress she looked and said “oh yea” and took it and walked off. No apology given. Still charged full price. Will never return which is a shame as I’ve lived here for 17 years and always used it. Feel completely sick. The food gave my mother a upset stomach also which made things 10x worse

Cardigan Arms is a must place to visit without a doubt. The fish and chips is fantastic, delicious, very moorish and worth every penny, also the price is very reasonable. I try to go very week if I can and would I recommend it to others, definitely without a doubt. The locals know just how good this place is and it's very popular. If I could, I would rate this place every higher than five, so five stars it is. Enjoy.

This chip shop was reccomended by a former local as one of the best in the town. I am certainly not a local but we were not charged to sit down, the portion size was decent and I'm a guy who loves my food, The food was well cooked and I cannot fault the service. As a foodie I liked this place and tried a rissole for the first time. 😋

Have been coming here for years but now find portions are smaller, overpriced and food cold ….. with a hair in it! Half the table had their food and had nearly finished before the other half of the table got theirs. Standards of hygiene have dropped, portion size reduced but put on smaller plates to try to make them look bigger, and prices are far too costly now for us to continue to visit. I appreciate all costs have increased but to see standards overall dropping have been the tipping point, and sadly, we will be looking elsewhere in the future.

We popped round the fish and chip bar and ordered one small chips and 2 sausage and chips and MY GOD!!! The chips weren’t swimming in grease like other fish and chip bars but were perfectly seasoned! Also, there wasn’t to much salt to send someone into a cardiac arrest! This was AMAZING! Definitely recommend

Absolutely disgusting chips, dirty toilets, the girls were young and inexperienced, i had the chicken curry it came in a breakfast bowl and it had 6 tiny pieces of chicken the bowl was only quarter full and it didn't even cover my chips, i will never go back in there even if i was starving , ps £1.00 for a slice of bread and butter, i spent £10 i felt i was let down badly 😞

Vegetarian rating: 3 (not much choice) This fish and chips shop's vegetarian burger would *almost* be superior to most other similar eateries - except sadly, the burgers were slightly burned at the edges. The bun was good quality, despite being white bread. Also, there were some cucumber and tomato slices. The chips were very good. So well worth a visit, in the hope that the veggie burgers don't get overly grilled. It wasn't the cheapest meal ever at a fish and chip shop, but the quality ingredients and the quantities were good value for money.

A basic but perfectly good fish and chip bar with an extensive menu. There were clues that cleanliness might have given way to economy because the salt and pepper were in cheap plastic shakers that had been refilled repeatedly but never cleaned. We were the only people in there at the time but service was still a bit slow.

Ordered fish & chips, seemed promising as there was quite a wait whilst the fish was freshly cooked. It was a nice piece of fish with crispy batter, but unfortunately it was very greasy. As it was in tray with the chips they became greasy too.

Last minute decision to have fish and chips so checked out the reviews which were mixed. Decided to give them a try as close to our holiday accommodation, First impressions was a good traditional chippy with no frills. Picked cod and chips from the large chalk board menu and waited a short time for it to be freshly cooked. Returned to house, plated up and ate. Fish was moist and tasty and the chips retained their crispness. All in all very satisfactory and would recommend.

Have been to this chip shop for years and went today for a full breakfast. What a disappointment. The food was cold, burnt and completely inedible. Food on plate that shouldn’t have been there. They didn’t know what a cappuccino was and so offer a so called milky coffee instead that arrived looking like a cup or tar. Tea looked and tasted like it had been stewing for days. When the rude waitress came over her customer service was non existent. Basically looked at us and said what’s wrong with it. Picked up the plates and left never to be heard from again. No apology or offer of replacement or anything. Extremely poor!!!! We have up waiting and ended up leaving and had a lovely breakfast at StationRd cafe over the bridge instead. Shame I didn’t get pictures of the inedible food before it went back but i did get one of the “tasty” toast.

To maintain our tradition of eating a chippy tea, out in the open air, whilst on holiday we called in to the Cardigan Arms on 22.02.2022 and sat down by the river to tuck in This is a great little chippy serving good quality, fresh fish, well battered, a good sized portion of chips (even the small sized portion had a good quantity) and a wide selection of other items (my wife doesn't like fish so it's great to have a choice of chicken nougats for example rather than just pies) We loved it, the tradition continues and would highly recommend

Fire traditional fish and chips this is one of the better ones. Although the peas were a strange vivid green colour not something I've seen normally for a chippy. The fish is cooked to order but doesn't take long because you're asked as you walk in what you'd like so by the time is your turn the fish is cooked. Taste wise it was ok not the best but definitely not the worst.

Went for a last dinner with family, and the food itself was wonderful. However, the whole experience was greatly disappointing when it came to the service itself. Ordered drinks and there was an incredibly long wait between that to get to order the food. After eating, a waitress came and took three of our five plates, but never came back for the other two, leaving them on the table. The table beside us were given 2 rounds of drinks, starters, mains and a dessert in the time we had one round of drinks and our meals. Would've ordered dessert, but didn't end up doing that as we felt quite forgotten
