Decks in The Vale of Glamorgan

We were walking along the pier on a hot afternoon. Fancied a whipped ice cream and saw this place give it a try. We had a mixture of ice cream on tubs, whipped ice cream on a traditional cone with flake. All good but a little on expensive side. The guy who runs it is retired chatty all good.

Lots of selection of ice cream to chose from different flavours. We both had an ice cream which was delicious. Lovely location on the pier.

Had my first ice cream cone in 20 years at Mint and Mocha on Penarth Pier. All the staff were knowledgeable on gluten free products and protocol, new tub of ice cream opened to prevent cross contamination!! Gluten free sugar cones were great!!

A great musk that serves a variety of seaside style takeaway food. The main reason for the visit is the ICECREAM it’s simple delicious.

Just tasted like processed fish from a catering company- flat and unappetising. Best thing was the packet of sauce.

Visited for the first time and I must say this restaurant is just perfect, A warm friendly elegant atmosphere and the food is just perfect. Every spoon full leaves u wanting another. Incredible flavour and perfectly cooked. Loved the rib eye and scrumptious chips and sauce decadent. The muscles were so fresh and just tasted so good. We enjoyed this wine really amazing. A definite hidden gem in Penarth. Really enjoyed my dinner just a very well done to you all.

Chips were nice and tartare sauce was great but the cod was awful. It definitely wasn’t fresh (frozen!) and the fish inside the batter was a mushy grey mess. Batter was crisp but very greasy. I’m originally from Brixham in Devon which is one of the biggest fishing ports in the South West and used to work for a firm supplying fish to the catering trade so I know how the difference between fresh and frozen. Ended up throwing away over half of my meal - no joke when you’ve just paid £8.50 for it! Definitely wouldn’t buy there again.

Excellent welcome , just wanted a quick snack and drink ,food was fantastic served by Libby who was amazing made us want to come back soon look forward to next visit.

The perfect setting for a fabulous 18th birthday celebration!! The staff here went above and beyond to make the occasion so special for my daughter and all of us... Thank you Lauren for the wonderful cocktails (sampled the night before 🙈) and Claire the Manager for a wonderful service 💕

This has been the first place our family has visited when local lockdown has eased. Although it was a windy day we found a sheltered spot to eat our freshly cooked fish & chips from Decks on Penarth Pier. It is a lovely little takeaway serving drinks and snacks - friendly staff and hand sanitizer! Will keep returning.

Freshly prepared fish and chips cooked whilst you wait. Lovely crisp batter even get a wedge of lemon and tartare sauce Coffee is good too

This used to be Pier64We live close by so used it a lotThe kitchen was too small for the number of diners, so service was slow.The Deck has extended the eating area, by building a waterside deck at Marina levelDidn’t have food, but this might be a problemSame kitchen, more covers?Anyway, it’s called the Jetty Bar, it’s a floating pontoon, so gets a bit wobbly if people are walking on it! Nice view at water level, with swans and ducks swimming around.At this lower waterside level they offer a meat platter, chips and toasties, weird!On Sundays, the blackboard said “bottomless gin, lager, Prosecco” for £29.95 at lunch time. The two choices to eat were roast beef sandwiches or mussels with chips.Lacking some imagination!Guessing the small kitchen can’t copeCovid restrictions OK, although what used to be the bar is rather empty and echoingSmoking is forbidden everywhere, you have to go outside to the road. Many will agree, but for those who like an occasional cigarette will look at the grassy knoll to the left of the entrance and wonder why they removed the seating areaNo smoke from there would bother anyoneAnd booking?This is really weirdYou can book Jetty, Balcony or restaurant (last two have a good looking menu) but if it rains, you lose your booking on Jetty or Balcony, unless there happens to be an inside table free...Take your chance on outsideWill try again for an inside meal

Despite limited offer of cooked meals on offer, all we could manage at mid-morning was the coffee - delicious, too. Great view from pier.

The scampi and fish were freshly cooked. Very plentiful and hot. Can sit on pier and watch the world go by. Good value... Plenty of choice

Visited lunchtime Monday while out for a walk. I had the bacon and egg sandwich, upgraded with an extra egg, and my mate had fish and chips. Both were cooked to order and served up hot and delicious, accompanied by a cup of proper strong tea. Best cafe I've found in Penarth so far. Highly recommended.

Lovely food, served by lovely people. Very reasonably priced. Very highly recommended. Breaded mushrooms, chips and sweet chilli sauce...absolutely lush!

A stop at Decks has been a must. They make the best chips, a perfect accompaniment to sea air! Excellent service, friendly staff and there's no waiting ages for your food. Love Decks.

We always get chips for our granddaughters here, they love them sitting on the pier. Friendly staff and you don t wait long for them to be cooked.

Best place on the pier for chips and quick coffee. Friendly staff and the owner. Always get something here. Ice cream for kids or tea for wife.

Freshly made, chunky straightforward crispy chips right til the end. Well worth the wait til cooked. ScrumptiousWe also tried the cheesy chips as I hadn't had them for years. Great, but you can't beat traditional chips, salt and vinegar. Great place to sit and watch the water

Excellent icecream, the very best, on the pier, who can ask for anything better? A good range of flavours and cone sizes, they do drinks and other eats, but we love the icecream

Apart form the obvious delights of a well-preserved, well-renovated, and well maintained Victorian edifice - Penarth Pier has a more intriguing aspect - inasmuch as its boards are embellished with brass plates in memory of many Penarth people. The is history underfoot. We have placed plaques there ourselves - and keep them polished. We polish them mainly through the inspiration of seeing that other people polish theirs. It's a living tradition and one we like to see maintained. Food is available on the pier (and concerts or art exhibitions on occasion). It is a splendid place to visit - or, if you live in Penarth,a lovely place to take visiting friends.

You can't beat eating fish n' chips on the pier on a sunny day. The staff at the Decks are very friendly and even provided us with a tray when they could see we had a lot of food to carry. Had lovely Joe's ice cream for dessert too.

Found it difficult to find anywhere to eat after arriving late afternoon in Penarth.One of the things we were looking forward to was fresh fish and chips by the sea ,it's a must for us when visiting the seaside.As stated could'nt find anywhere except this place ,it was edible but not fresh frozen fish and chips and an extremely long wait for our food.The staff were really nice but a lot to manage on their own.The coffee was really good just a shame the food is not fresh as price wise they are very competitive.

With plenty of places to watch the beautiful view, it would be awful not to have a hot cup of coffee and some Welsh cakes to enhance the experience. Very friendly man serving, and good coffee too. Competitive prices for the area. Good deal on the Welsh cakes.

On a nice day what a good place to relax with an ice cream or just read the paper.

Had a very nice fish and chip tea here. Benches looking out to see eating your food - what more could you want.

freshly cooked,tasty and filling,all eaten in the open air on the pier.cannot fault it! The service is friendly and the prices reasonable

Visitamos el muelle en un cálido julio después de tener un antojo para pescado y patatas fritas británico antiguo.

Lovely fish and chips, amazing ice cream, very friendly service. Perfect for a quick lunch/dinner or special treat on a visit to Penarth Pier!

Sunday morning lie in....nothing for breakfast....we'll go to the pier! Perfect bacon and egg sarnie 👍 Coffee was a bit weak 👎 But can I really complain Whilst I'm watching the brave Dip their toes in the sea And the little yatch's fly Away in...

This is a little kiosk on Penarth pier - a lovely place to stop and buy something to eat on the seats nearby. The chips we had were lovely and crispy. It was a shame we didn't have room for Joe's ice cream afterwards.

Always stop here for coffee when visiting the pier, value for money and good coffee staff are always very friendly

We've been waiting nearly 15 min for cheese on chips from microwave :-( When I asked for refund I have got the order straightaway. They couldn't understand why I don't wont wait any longer. No apologies given

Gran ubicación y personal amable pero el bacalao y patatas fritas eran pobres bacalao cocinado de congelados, aguada, gris y poco pescado que se pueden encontrar dentro de la masa. Patatas fritas no es el mejor.

Helado sabroso pero si quieres lo real, tienes que ir a Swansea. Jo, es sencillamente el mejor. Hay un parque en Roath para Jo, s los aficionados.

very friendly staff, lovely joes ice cream, great value, nice food, being a local its where i go when i go to the pier. well done decks!

I love it! The food is great quality, freshly cooked, good value and the service friendly too. I was told they are well known locally for being the best place to get fresh, crispy chips - I had the scampi and chips and it was awesome! All served with a wedge of lemon, tartar sauce (and its worth paying the 80p difference for the larger portion too, if you're hungry). Top it off with a Joe's ice cream - over 10 flavours to choose from, but my favourite is the caramel crunch, with pecan nuts. When I was there, someone else was being served a bacon roll - the smell was divine! I will definitely be coming here again.

Visited Penarth pier today. Delighted with our scampi, chips, ice cream and tea from Decks served by cheerful and helpful staff. I would really recommend this kiosk on the pier!

Decks is an independent cafe serving excellent freshly prepared fish and chips, veggie burgers, tea and Joe's ice cream - my particular favourite being the peanut butter with chocolate peanuts. I live in Penarth and take all my visiting friends and family to Decks for classic chips and ice cream on the pier - the ultimate sea side experience. Friendly staff, great food and a great location - what's not to like!

Perfect food to enjoy on the pier overlooking the beautiful views out to sea. A range of different options offered, from cod and chips to delicious ice creams. I tried the veggie burger and chips which was really tasty and good value for money.. Just what you need after a long walk along the beach!

No Mr whippy! I had to order ice creams for my children in two separate establishments due to one of them only liking Mr whippy style ice cream,

Sad to say that this place is only open during the summer months and closed from September until May ish.

Meals or snacks on Penarth pier. Can sit and eat overlooking beautiful views of Bristol Channel. Good choice of well-cooked food served with a smile.
