Carousal Cafe in Gwynedd

Had take away twice from here whilst in Barmouth. Excellent food and service. The best fish and chips I’ve had for a long time. Will definitely b back.

We have just been to Carousal cafe, we have never been to Barmouth before. I asked if dogs were allowed in and they was. Everything cooked fresh. We had mini fish sausage special. 6 nuggets and chips and savaloy. My lad said best nuggets and chips he's tasted. Very helpful and pleasant staff. Keep it up guys 👏

Superb. Best in Barmouth. Thank you

Really nice food, the mini fish I had was huge, prices are good

Massive portions cooked fresh. Really nice. Staff wise where very friendly. Outside of the building could do with some TLC which did put us off. But the food inside was really good.

Good donner meat and chips (not fries 👍) unfortunately they had sold out of the chicken, was good but too much sauce, next time think ill take my out preference for hot sauce but the food was a good standard for a chippy, good selection of slushies in the summer.

Amazing 2 for 1,get a free colonic when you buy chips and chicken donner from here ,literally s..t myself and throw up for 24hrs then spent 2 days in bed recovering, but as I said far cheaper than booking one of those expensive colonic irrigation things 😀 👍

Ideal for quick and easy food when out and about! Gorgeous chips!!

Brilliant place. Service is excellent, everyone is helpful and always smiling. We have kebabs, best ever, really tasty and great value. Menus is huge so lots of choice. And the food comes out in minutes. Can’t recommend enough.

Great tasty food, probably the best kebab in the area,and value for money.. Yummy fat chips too. Had their dognuts to finish.

Dope view. Nice staff and okay meals. I'll highly recommend

Good staff very polite and hygienic me and the family enjoyed the food will be coming back as soon as we can .Also do breakfast in the morning

Fish & Chips cooked to order and really nice. Cafe area clean and tidy, although the toilets are like something from the 70's, could do with a makeover, the hot air hand drier should be on antiques road show.

Great food and friendly service.

Fish chips and sausage with gravy, nice food

We stumbled upon this cafe purely because we fancied a chippy lunch! The staff were really polite and kind to us and the food was beautifully cooked...delicious! Will definitely visit again next time we're in Barmouth

Miserable service and overpriced food! Better chip shops are nearby and I’d suggest you go there instead rather than here. My bad, I just didn’t want to queue up at the competitor’s as it was getting late and I hungry. I won’t make that mistake again.

Very good value and high quality food

Excellent place we stumbled upon it as we were leaving and glad we did My son said it’s the best fish n chips he has had Nice clean and tasty and helpful staff We will pop in again on our next visit

Walked in and it was a disaster zone. All the tables and chairs were filthy. Slowest service in a chip shop that I have ever seen. Took us 35mins to get our order.

Fish and chips on the off chance and it exceeded expectations. Plus friendly staff and very clean.

Walked past on the way back to our accommodation last night & spotted the sign with the “C” out of place. Obviously been like that for a while, so is it on purpose? (You don’t spell “Carousel” with two “a’s”!) A few days later we needed fish & chips and the “Arousal” was the only one still open (it was about 9pm); but all they had left were chips and a few pies or sausages. I opted for pie & chips. Must say the chips and pie tasted like they’d been hanging around; the service was pretty unfriendly. Can’t understand how this place is still going as there is a huge space full of tables and it always looks empty when we pass.

Worst cos I've ever had. Greasy, cold, lacking all flavour, total let down. Don't bother

Thankyou for a lovely meal tonight and also we came here on Sunday night. Lovely clean establishment with very friendly staff and lovely food.

Fantastic!!! I walked in with just 15 minutes till closing time and asked for two fish and chips? No problems at all, cooked fresh and with a smile. As I was served, about 10 people followed me in and ordered all sorts from the menu. The guys said OK no problem again even after they were saying they had just finished cleaning, ready to go home. The fish and chips were lovely as well 😋

Saveloy was rock hard on one side. Asked for something really small and was charged well over the price. And to top it all of it was disgusting. The place had really gone down hill

CHIPS WHERE AVERAGE NOT THE BEST WARM FISH IS FROXEN NOT BEST VERY AVERAGE EVERBODY WORKS THE FOREIGN MERMAID FISH THE BEST

My favourite fish and chip shop in Barmouth. Very decent quality and cooked to order. Average prices. Definitely has the best seating area for eating in. Could do with more imaginative decor and be slightly more friendly, but I'm being picky. I still love it!

I used to go the the Carousel cafe a few years ago, it’s definitely not like it used to be. No waitress service, tasteless fish and chips. Won’t be going there again

Love this place, staff are friendly, foods always hot and fresh and portions are plentiful

Lovely food, quick service, very clean premises.

Went here 6 of us been coming to barmouth for decades never had food from here.we all had fish n chips was lovely n fresh . Staff helpful.. Will return on next visit

Lovely and friendly staff 😊 would eat here again

Great food & staff are very helpful

We visited this Cafe/Fish &Chip shop twice in a week and found both times very good, food is good and cooked well, lovely chips, fish, and chicken & mushroom Pukka pie. We also had a lovely cooked breakfast on the morning we were leaving, great service, price and quantity and quality, would definitely go again and will, and we would recommend to friends and family. Lot's of sitting space, no negatives here. See you again soon.

Avoid this cafe/takeaway. Staff hygiene isn't good.The service is rubbish, can't even get a smile, its as if they cannot be bothered. Toilet is always out of use. The food is awful as well as over-priced.

Better than the last time I visited updating to reflect.

Best fish and chips I have ever had in Barmouth and I have lived in the area for 5yrs

The food was bland , the server was rude and the toilets were dirty , no hot water. And no soap...

Lovely fish and chip shop is the middle of Barmouth. Plenty of seating if you want to eat in and the food is delicious and fresh. Really friendly staff too.

Pleasantly surprised called in on a very busy day food was excellent.

We went for fish and chips while visiting Barmouth sea side, and it was a very welcome break from the rain. The food was excellent and very good value, the staff were nice and friendly. The only things that let it down were that the toilets could do with a refresh and that ketchup and mayo are not available free of charge, but as a paid extra which was a bit annoying. 2 chips, a fish, a pasty, a coffee and some sauces was about £17.

Good food at reasonable price, friendly staff

WAITED 25MINS FOR A CHIP BARM. THESE GUY DONT HAVE A CLUE HOW TO RUN A CHIPPY. THEY TAKE ORDER AFTER ORDER AND GO THROUGH EACH ONE. ONE BY ONE. AWFUL! AND THE CHIPS WERE POO. OH AND THE PICTURE ON THE WALL ISNT STRAIGHT!!

Abysmal service waited over 20 mins for just a cone of chips, place was a mess, salt shaker was empty, cramped conditions felt like I was on a Japanese train. Food very average.

Ordered food for 14 people. Served quickly. No waste. Chicken kebab with salad was really nice. The seating area was spacious and clean, although we didn't eat in. Staff were friendly and polite.

Had a lovely breakfast, served by a very polite young man, perhaps need to advertise they do breakfast a bit more! Will definitely go back

Not the best place to go for something to eat, staff seemed like they didn't want to be there, chips were not the greatest, nuggets were disgusting, had to leave them, the fish to be fair was okay. Way overpriced.

food was average chippy food. The young lady was miserable, and i had the pleasure of wearing her germs by sneezing over me. toilet is out of use, but if you pay no problems 🤑

Absolutely brilliant food and customer service was the best lovely and clean and welcoming

The best fish and chip shop in Wales. We have to come here everytime we are on holiday. The staff are lovely and everything is freshly cooked.

Nice cafe in the middle of Barmouth town. Friendly staff Plenty of seating for eating in...or if you choose you can take away... Usually come here for fish and chips when visiting... A wide menu to choose from.. and reasonably priced.. Fish chips and peas around £10... Good portion size and the food is fresh and tasty...

Chips were really nice but last twice awful, thrown them away today, won't use again

Don't expect service with a smile 😊

Average food, average hygiene, terribly slow service.

Just popped in today for a quick lunch as we were walking around Barmouth. I had a kebab so definitely wasn't expecting anything spectacular but it was the best kebab I have ever had. The meat was seasoned so well that I was amazed. If you are ever in the area I would definitely recommend. The staff are lovely and helpful and the food is lush.

Well, good food, good service helpful staff and very clean. As a child we visited Barmouth so many times and almost 40 years on I got the opportunity to take my family, so little has changed its As if time had stood still despite the obvious you would expect, "the cost of everything" £11.00 for a jacket spud £4.50 for an ice cream and £8.50 for a sandwich, it was crazy, One chip shop had que's all down the road, you would have thought it the best chippy in Barmouth, my youngest (6) wanted large battered sausage and chips, no we only do small sausage not battered (£1.80 really small portion of chips £3.00) so most of the time we cooked our own meals in our caravan but sometimes you're out and you have to grab something to keep the kids happy. The carousel cafe was by far the most reasonable place to go, good fast food plenty of seating, clean and by far the better portion sizes offered than anywhere else. Only negative I will add is that the breakfast prices are not reasonable but then nowhere in Barmouth is and I think they have just priced themselves in line with everyone else.

Big wide open space. Plenty of seating/tables. Can order in or take out. Even do fresh cooked doughnuts and slushies! Reasonably priced, the fish was huge! Well cooked. Good portions. Clean and the staff are friendly. Would recommend this chip shop

Please avoid, the oil tasted old the fish was not flakey ot was mushy and stunk, as soon as I cut into it I was overwhelmed by the smell, the chips tasted like they were old and stale, there was blood all over the toilet, looked like a murder scene and even the coffee was disgusting 🫣 go to another fish and chip shop, they could not be worse than this. We all left our food, the only decent thing was the can of pop.

I give only one star as chips were not bad , we order kebab and it was horrible !!!!

I had an amazing experience with this Fish and Chips . The customer service was outstanding of this , and the product taste was exactly what I was looking for.

It is one of best food i love it

Can't fault the fish and chips, cooked to perfection and really tasty. Plenty of tables to eat in which was great as the weather was very wet.

Never again. Half way through meal to find a false finger nail mixed in with the chips. Staff weren’t too bothered about it offered to do a new portion but we refused as it knocked us sick. They refunded the meal once we asked. I would not recommend this place.

Avoid at all cost found a false nail in the food which was admitted fell off one of the staffs hands. Refund for meal given but not good enough this should not have happened. Food wasn't great to begin with but this sealed the deal to bin it

£15 for 2 cod with mushy peas and 2 drinks. Very reasonable price for a quick lunch. Family friendly place and not far from the beach.

Very fresh food, best Dona I’ve tasted. However it was quite expensive and the atmosphere inside was dull. Staff were ok

Great food but the service is a little bit slow and the general feel of the place is a little bit bland.

Strange place. Had an awful tea and coffee only so we could use the terrible toilets and owners whose entire life goal is to just monitor the washroom usage sitting on the sofa like entitled smugs lol

We've been here twice this week and have enjoyed the food. My friend had fish and chips with mushy peas on the 1st occasion and a Spicy chicken kebab wrap on the 2nd. I had salad in a toasted pitta and chips 1st then just a toasted pitta with salad on the 2nd. The food we had was really tasty and I have only dropped a star due to the lack of vegetarian options. From what I saw on the menu there were 3 options 1. Vegetarian burger 2. Salad in a toasted pitta 3. Cheese & onion pastie No halloumi which seems to be appearing in a lot of chip shops We also opted for the ice-cream which was Biscotti the other Oreo. Both were well enjoyed and £2.50 each

Excellent food and great staff.

Excellent restaurant that serves from morning to evening. Great food at great prices. Recommended

Fish had too much thick batter on, otherwise meal was ok

Best Cod and chips I ever had. Amazing for takeaway

Nice large shop food was cooked fresh as not that busy. Waiting 15 minutes. They use palm oil I had scampi & chips tasted very nice £7.50 they don’t do Tartar Sauce though. And I asked if they did fish bites said no. But could have said they do a mini fish 🥴 as an option sales staff needs training on serving the customers needs. Would I go ho back if in the area again possibly

Have been coming here for years but this time is different, awful food awful service, food rubbery, girl serving clearly didnt want to be there. Definitely gone down hill, this is a real shame

Food was lovely plenty off.options very kind staff would definitely recommend

Ordered take away which was freshly made and absolutely delicious, great value as well. Venue was a little basic but guessing for how busy it can get it's built for purpose. Will definitely return in the future.

A fish and chip shop that is reasonably priced. A good selection of kebabs and burgers cooked fresh by friendly staff. Nice food with a 5 star hygiene rating.

Nice place. Good food, big portions. Fish and Chips was one of best in my life. Price was as well good. We spend less than in some big fast food company. Specially food was make from fresh. Next time I will come again...

Ordered a portion of chips to takeaway, fast service, and chips are excellent quality.

Tight on food for the price you pay

Freshly cooked and delicious fish and chips, best we’ve had in a long time.

Easy eatery, standard chip shop fayre at proper prices. We arrived later in the evening expecting to be told takeaway only, to be pleasantly surprised to be able to be seated. Family of 6

Over priced and not great quality either. Try somewhere else

Lovely staff in a nice location

Asked for cheese on toast for my daughter and received very mouldy bread. When I took it back they just said sorry and didn't offer a refund or replacement! My husband then asked for a replacement as my daughter was hungry and they said they had no bread left. No refund offered. This was in the summer season of 2022 (to avoid confusion) The place was filthy and we actually sat at a table that was cleared but not cleaned. Staff obviously couldn't manage and were not sufficiently trained. I'm a local so it's sad to see. I understand mistakes happen, and a sorry and refund would have sufficed. But as you can see by the reply, the staff/management have zero customer service. I'd recommend the milk bar cafe just down the road...small but great customer service.

Chips were really tough and seemed to have been fried twice. A bit manky tbh. No free condiments either, if you’re gonna charge £3.00 for chips at least give me a nice hard sqeezin of sauce yep

Very disappointing, fish was fine, but served in a box with a wooden fork . Expect this with a takeaway, but not when eating in.

Had a chicken kebab .Well simply never had that tasty in my life .Worth trying , friendly staff and lot of range on menu.

Fish and chips were amazing. Huge fish... Loads of chips and I ate inside. Cost £8.50 Sept 2022

Came here before last year, so came back again as we'd enjoyed the food. They didn't disappoint, food tasted lovely and was of good quality. Only annoyance was the toilets weren't available to use, which is a no-no for a restaurant in my eyes

Great fish n chips , eating out of the box's inside dining ,nice but would have preferred a plate , call me old fashioned.

Decent takeaway, food was nice.

Very very Poor service, will not use it again

Good food and portion sizes for a good price. The chicken (kebab) meat is gorgeous. Plenty of seating and fresh air from the front walls opening out completely.

Was very busy, food was lovely, bit expensive but the portions were alot bigger than the other chippys

Rubbish breakfast wait was shocking

Fantastic. August 2022 We walked along the front looking for chips for lunch. They were all so crowded, massive queues. So we walked a little bit away from the front and found this VERY clean spacious chip shop. Lots of space to eat In. The portions were too big for me, so I had to share them. The chips were the best I've tasted in a long time, even better than ones at home!!😋 My husband said his battered sausage was delicious. The prices were comparable with the other shops. £6.90 for 1 chips & 1 sausage and chips. While we ate them a Lady asked where they were from, she said they looked really nice, not like the one on front. We will definitely be buying from these again. Well done. ✔

ended up wasting money for 2 portions of fish and chips not cooked right and chucked in the bin, vile never going back
