Chip Box 4 in Ceredigion

This place used to be so good. Today chips were soggy, fish batter was thick and not fully cooked. Very disappointing will have to find somewhere new!

Absolutely disgraceful 8.50 for kid mini fish and chips what they dont tell you is the price on the board is just for the fish its 3.10 on top of every meal

Curry sauce was on point. Portions a good size and fish was decent! Facilities were generally tidy. Would recommend!!!

Best chip shop in Aberystwyth! Been several times, always cooked fresh and tastes amazing. Would highly recommend.

Really good food and really good service. Pricey but aren't they all nowadays. Would STRONGLY recommend if you are after some fish and chips on the seafront!

OK, so this place looks run down from the outside. However, this place does probably the best fish and chips in Wales.

Called in for some chips for my journey home. The portion size was extremely small for £2.70 - a small square box. However, they would have been worth it if they had been good. They weren't. I struggled to eat them as they had clearly been refried. This was a Wednesday night so it was very quiet. I was the only customer. I won't be going back

Smallest fish I've ever had, not worth the £6.80 charged and over cooked,will not be visiting again!

Chips were vile, borderline inedible. Some were so hard you could break a tooth, while the others were sludgy and tasted disgusting. Most of the meal was fed to the seagulls, and even they didn't seem impressed.

Chips were barely edible, some were so hard you could break a tooth, others were sludgy and tasted nasty. Sausage was average. Really poor effort serving food as bad as this.

We’re from Yorkshire so could have a biased view on great fish and chips but honestly, these were the worst fish and chips we have ever tasted. The fish batter was soggy and the chips were crispy and weird. We were super disappointed after seeing 4* star average on here and google reviews. Either we’re too used to great fish and chips in Yorkshire or this is just a naff fish and chip shop…

Chips were dry, asked for the cheesy chips, came with too much cheese not enough chips. Half of the chips were hollow and crunchy with how dry they were. Potatoes used did not seem fresh enough either. Half of the space is underutilized/blocked off. Cleanliness was middling, not dirty but not clean. And the cost is far too much for the poor quality.

Cod is very good and the service is quick. Totally recommend it.

Great place to have fish and chips in Aberystwyth. We were looking somewhere to get fish and chips to takeaway because we had our dog with us. We ordered cod and chips, which was £9 a portion. It was freshly cooked in front of us, and it was delicious.

Looking forward to fish n chips and wish I had gone elsewhere. Chips although fresh tasted as if they had been part cooked then recooked and the fish batter was very oily, only saving grace was that the inside of the fish was nice.

Excellent fish and chips and good price. Everything cooked fresh.

Dissapointing fish and chips. Not very hot, chops had lots of bits and one of our party ordered sausage chips and gravy. The sausage wasn't there. Normally excellent food but sadly not this time.

Had the very worst fish and chips I have ever had. Fish was literally 95% batter. Completely cheated!

Went here for some fish & chips with our friends who use this chip shop all the time. They were surprised at how awful it was when we went. They cook your food to order, so you expect it to be good. Down side is that you have to wait outside in the rain. Chips were greasy, but OK. But the fish!! All 4 pieces overcooked, but 1 more so and the small cod was so overcooked it had rolled up like a Swiss roll! When we opened it up the fish was brown and grey, there was no way I was going to attempt to eat it! Curry sauce was like gloopy gravy with some curry powder in it. Needless to say we had no choice but to take it back. They offered to cook some fresh, but as we were told that it was the same lot of fish we opted for our money back. Very disappointing.

With Aberystwyth being a seaside town I thought I was in for A treat but to my great disappointment this was the worst Gish and chips we have had the misfortune to purchase The chis were greasy and full of stale oil and the fish well yo start with the fork could not break the batter and the cod was so over cooked that it was yellow and rubbery Avoid this place … wish we had😢 Worst chippy I have ever been in

The worst fish and chips I have ever had the misfortune to waste £20 on . Chips cooked to the point of being nearly burned and cooked in dirty oil ,the fish was so overcooked it was like rubber,and the batter was that hard ,I nearly broke a tooth

Alway pay a visit when we’re in Aberystwyth. Conveniently situated opposite the pier, enabling you to soak up the scenery while enjoying your supper.

Decent fish and chips, really quick service and fairly cheap.

The worst fish and chips I have had the misfortune to buy Dirty fat taste to chips and fish so overcooked it was like rubber Expected better from a seaside town

Terrible food and I was ripped off by the girl who took the order Never again will I go back

Perfect chips and cheese with vinegar.

Nice, small chippy right on the seafront. It's hidden away literally so the term hidden gem is appropriate!

Cost nearly £20 for two fish & chips. Expected to be really nice when in a sea side chippy but how wrong was I. The fish was a size of a cipper and greasy and so was the chips and only a small portion fir £20. Not nice at all don't waste your money at this chippy. NOT RECOMMENDED

worst chippy i,ve ever been to .fish was burnt n chips were thin and hard

Mini fish & chips - the fish was fresh, well battered & not overly greasy. The chips were fantastic - crispy, tasty & more than enough for a small portion. I'm definitely but from here again next time I'm in the area 😋

Lovely fish and chips. Crisp chips, fab batter and tasty curry sauce. Best I've had in a long while!!

Left disappointed, over priced, grease and the burger came with nothing more than a bun. Plus the card machine wasn't working

Great place for your fish and chips they are lovely.

Didn’t have full menu on offer and didn’t have ketchup to purchase or have on the side. Went back and as unable ti purchase drinks due to price limit of£10. Very disappointed after being recommended here.

Food was much nicer than the staff

Last year generous chips was £2. Now charging 2.75 for stingey chips. Not going back.

We visited Aberystwyth while we were in the area, and stumbled across this place, which had plenty of customers waiting - the best measure of a good chippy. We were not disappointed. Easily the best fish and chips I have had for a very long time! Really enjoyed them!

We had a fantastic weekend in Aber and to top it off we had the best fish and chips we've had for years

Best fish and chips in town. You've got to eat outside though, and hope there's a shelter available so you can keep the pigeons and seagulls away...

Probably the best choppy I have been to, Fish is so fresh

Do yourself a favour when you fancy fish and chips, go here, best fish and chips I think I have ever had. The batter was light and fluffy. Only negative point, was their large battered sausage was 2 small sausages, and the cod was 2 small portions instead of a regular size, but tbh that's just a very small negative. 9/10 for this place.

Ordered a coffee, small cod and chips.. only to receive a greasy cod that was stuck to the paper and cardboard style chips, they then told me they don't serve coffee in the summer, however it was advertised on their menu. The card machine was not working, no signs or mentioned before ordering. Just terrible service and rude staff.

Fish and chips were nice, but expensive. Service was good, somewhere to sit whilst you wait, but there was a not very nice aroma

Should of gone elsewhere to eat

Best fish and chips in Aberystwyth

Curry was the best.. and chips was nice too..

This place was vile . Really grubby. Woman serving touched cash then picked eggs straight after. Wait horrendous. Rude hostile grubby staff

Chips lovely, but someone stole my hat

Ordered 1 large fish and chips 1 small fish and chips 1 jumbo sausage and chips 3 curry sauces. Food was decent average. But when we got back to caravan park and opened it up no large fish. Phoned no answer. Text the number to say what was 3 days now and no response.

The location of the place is near to the seafront and the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food and service was amazing. I would highly recommend this place to people who love eating fish & chips by the seaside.

Tiny chippy on the sea front in Aberystwyth. Takeaway only, with no space to wait inside after you've ordered. I got quite cold waiting outside for what seemed like an unduly long time. Chips and curry sauce were okay, but the cod was very mediocre. I was disappointed and certainly won't be rushing back there next time I'm in Aber

Popped by with Grandma, loved the chips, fish really nice but greasy bottoms.

Long queue outside but well worth the wait. Whenever I'm in Aberystwyth

Great chippy, the chips were fantastic, really tasty, with a nice crunchy outer

£16 for fish, small chips, small curry sauce and a sausage! It was nice, but not for £16 especially as there are alternative options nearby. Small corner venue that looked unfinished inside, staff were nice enough but also not really interested in the customer or service.

The most amazing double-cooked chips - well worth the wait!

Stopped on route through on way home from St David’s. Read the reviews and thought we would stop for a takeaway. I had fish and chips and hubby had pie and chips and we shared a yummy curry sauce. Excellent food! Delicious, freshly cooked and I recommend strongly.

Greasy food and hygiene rating is cleverly hidden on bottom of door. For a sea side location, wouldn't say the food was fresh and batter was raw in parts. Shame

We visited this small chip shop after a ride on the Vale of Rheidol steamrailway and a couple of hours in the Welsh National Library, near the University. Our (local) friend suggested this location. It is a bit of a wiggle to get to the sea front, but parking in April was free (after 6pm) and there were spaces. Opposite the pier, is Chip box 4. Quality and quantity were excellent, and the items were fresh cooked. Cod roe and chips, vegetables burger, large battered sausage with large chips to Share came out at less than £20. Eating on the sea front even had the added free Sea Gulls, unsuccessfully attempting to scrounge a free meal. Large, bird proof, waste bins readily available for the used packaging. Highly recommended

Tiny premises but there was a warm welcome, service was excellent and the food was freshly cooked. The short wait was more than worthwhile. The fish and chips were perfectly cooked and the fish was delicious in a lovely crispy batter. Only sorry that we're just visiting, this would definitely be a favourite if we were local.

I don't like to post negative reviews but we went here on a recommendation in the middle of a sea storm. The staff were nice enough but the food wasn't great. Maybe it's a regional thing but crunchy chips and dry, tasteless, battered slimline cod isn't my thing. Curry sauce was good though.

Lovely chippie... take to the front and watch the sea as you eat... butcwatch out for the seagulls!

Had a take out on Bank Holiday Sunday, although it was heaving the staff dealt with orders quickly and efficiently. Excellent chips too!!! Recommended

Not very impressed chips looked and tasted like they had been reheated also a staff member came in off the street in pyjamas and dressing gown and walked in behind the counter where the cooking was taking place and no one was wearing any aprons or uniform. Would not go back there again.

Very slow service chips were lovely but my cornish pasty was awful not only was the pastry crispy and dry all the way through, but the filling was non existent

This used to be a lovely chip shop but it was awful now ... the fish was slimey and batter wasn't cooked enough. The chips were full of eyes and tasted like they were reheated 🤢 also only 1 hygiene rating and was so low on the door I missed it .... was unable to eat them and to far to take them back....

Lovely cone (cup) of chips on the prom

Amazing cheesy chips. £10+ to use a card.

Fish and chips on the seafront.... it's the law! Box 4 is literally a stone's throw away from the salty brine of Cardigan Bay So, how about the food. Chips - okay, but I've had better Cod - very good Roe - overcooked, almost burnt...

Visited this fad chip shop after searching for food last week and we were surprised how good it was will go again 😋

Whenever we visited aber. Chip box 4 was the only place to go. Went as usual and oh dear. A sad and soggy cod snd hard unpalatable chips. Nothing like what we used to get. Ever their hygiene rating has plummeted. I understand its changed...

Best chippy in Aberystwyth!! Had to wait for the fish to be cooked but wow. Beautifully soft fish in a crunchy batter. Superb chips. Often wondered why there was such a queue outside. We used to go to the pier for fish & chips - not any more!!

Just was served the most disgusting fish cake I have ever eaten. Suspect it was deep fried in the worst/oldest oil available. Will never go there again

Absolutely delicious fish and chips.

Perfect fish n' chips after spending some cash in the arcade opposite. Lovely. Thank you!

Had to wait for the fish and chipsd asked for salt only vinegar put on the fish and chips both were chucked back into the fryer very greasy AVOID this shop not the cleanest of shops had lot lot better

Unfortunately after being told to go here I was disappointed, the chips were so hard I actually cracked a tooth. Rock solid.

Needs to be said that this place has a condemned kitchen. It isn't fit to serve food and yet its still open bafflingly.

Biker heaven !! On the seafront and excellent fish and chips .

Maybe the best fish and chips I've ever eaten, all cooked fresh

Nice freshly cooked fish and chips 🙂

We always buy fish and chips when we're visiting. Beautiful piece of fish and the batter is crisp and tasty as are the chips. Efficient service, always freshly cooked.

Great seaside chips xx fish was delish and peas were mushy 😊

One word - delicious. Cooked to order cod and chips. Tasty fish, drained well so not swimming in grease like others can be. Good chips and portions plenty

Would you like some chips with your salt? (Nice food, polite staff, too much salt)

Chips with scratchings like it used to be,everything was just cooked well,nice cod,nice mushy peas and good curry sauce,reasonable price.

Fish tasted very good, we ordered fish with cheesy chips and unfortunately we've got grated cheese which wasn't melted. It wasn't what we expected, that's why only 3 stars. 2/10.

We used to eat here often when working in Aber , we liked the fish and chips so why change it, however the place changed hands and have gone down hill but we continued to use them till one day I was on my own...

Fantastic chips for lunch. Perfect mix of light and fluffy chips with a crispy outside. One of the best bag of chips in a long time.

The chip box 4 serves the best fish and chips for miles. So much so you do have to queue for quite a while at times but well worth it

Lovely food, bit of a wait for it as its popular but great when we got it. Will use again when back in the area

Best chips ever had, perfect way to finish a beach day out

Service needs a look ....when you order food for a family of four you don't expect to be juggling that food because it hasn't been packed and you certainly don't expect to pack it yourself when you ask for a carrier bag to put it in! On the plus side the Fish and Chips were delicious with a not too crisp batter and Golden chips. Come on get your act together ... and make it 5 star.

One of the best fish & chips I ever ate

The fish was lovely but the chips weren't too nice

Awesome food but long waiting hours. Birds around are very annoying and create a mess so avoid eating around that place. It's seems the fish portion size has decreased over the months.

Only had chips but they were pretty awful not sure if they'd been recooked or something but only had half as I was staving and binned the rest

Great fish, great chips, made my day!

This place is vile. Just don't do it. Food hygiene rating of 1. They hide it on their door. Staff are miserable. Food is not that good. The whole place is a filith pit, it stinks out the area surrounding it for yards. Not recommended. They play stupidly loud music. Not a fan. I lived above these guys and let me tell you, seeing the rot and flies in the back of their place is enough to make you sick.

We weren’t sure which chippy to try in Aberystwyth. We found this little place and thought they’d be ok but didn’t expect too much. Wow, were we surprised. It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted Fish and chips this good and at such a...
