Dick Barton's Chipshop in Swansea

Very tasty - best we’ve had in a long time

Great crispy chips tasty large cod massive was about 15 inch's will defo go back

Nice fish, but make sure you have freshly cooked chips

I'm withdrawing my previous review. edit service to 0. As was shut at 130pm and not 2pm when I got there after driving 10 miles.

The best not only for food but customer service is fantastic

Absolutely gutted, tried here for the first time and can honestly say I wouldn't bother going back, unwelcoming atmosphere dirty tables , massively over priced for the portions and very greasy, staff were quite rude and not very welcoming maybe we caught it on a off day but after that experience I wouldn't Try again.

Amazing fish and chips and great price. Very helpful and cheerful staff. The portions were hugh. Highly recommended. And a 5 minute walk to picnic tables at the beach. Thanks Ps mind the seagulls ha ha

We arrived on a soggy afternoon to get chips for dinner. The staff were friendly and the chips were nice.

Great fish and chips large portions

The fish was below par because its full on bones and should be cooked to order so its not sat around. I know busier fish and chip shops that do this so its inexcusable ive tried the fish a few times its certainly good but not top tier . Onto better news i have never had better chips anywhere they are sublime and the family that run it are very committed to their business and lovely people. Im not knocking their business , im having a honest opinion and its just my opinion its about preference. Still 4 stars because they cant be beaten on chips and i have eaten all around the u.k

Having used Dick Barton's many times years ago after a day on the beach we decided to call in recently. The fish and chips were generous portions and a reasonable price. But the fish was awful. It felt and tasted stale. It wasn't cooked to order, so I had no idea how long it had been in the hot cabinet. As if staff thought they could get away with serving up old stuff to us as we weren't regulars. We won't be returning.

Proper tasty fish and chips, it doesn't get any better than this boys no it does not.

They accept card as well which is great!

Wow!! Best fish and chips ever! I was told that when I get to the UK, I should definitely try fish and chips. This was my second time having it in the UK, and I found the best fish and chips restaurant ever! The fish was giant, fresh, and so meaty. The batter was perfectly crispy, encasing the fish in a golden crust that made each bite a delight. And you know what? The fish should go with the curry sauce—it tastes so good! The curry sauce added a unique and delicious twist that I wasn’t expecting. The chips were so crisp and delicious, perfectly complementing the fish. They were thick-cut and fried to perfection! The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. If you’re ever in the UK, especially Swansea, this place is a must-visit for an authentic and unforgettable fish and chips experience! Simple yet best!

Best chip shop in Swansea, staff and owners go the extra mile for you, 5star service & food.

Came in 7:45 completely oblivious to time and they served everyone with some humour! Always good food and good atmosphere!

Really nice helpful staff and great food

Absolutely amazing cod and chips we had there last month. Large fish is actually giant and you can't finish it on one go. We shared large cod and large chips with me mrs and had full bellies:) Staff amazing and friendly! Nice old school chippy!

Not a bad chippy - also takes card payment unlike others in Mumbles! Easy and convenient parking right outside with quick service

What a brilliant chippy, lovely food, highly recommended

Excellent Fish & Chips. Good sized cod, crisp batter. Batter and chips well cooked, dry with no dripping oil. Definitely in the higher quality tier for fish and chip shops. Price ok and in line with the quality.

Can't believe it £14.20 for fish and chips rip off I ended up in spar next door but 1 and bought 3 sausage rolls for £1.49 and 4 medium pasties for £1.49 then paid £3.20 for a regular chips could only eat half of them never go again

Great food. One of a few good chippies left.

Absolutely the best fish and chips in Wales , I haven’t had them for a while but the minute I was back in the area I had the most amazing meal , keeping up the family tradition I can’t wait to go back

Amazing once again - fish bites, chips etc. Cannot fault this eatery - only wish we had a quality chippy like this where we live. Batter crispy, chips cooked well.......thank you. Will ONLY come to this chippy when in Mumbles..... (ps. I gave you the personal feedback)

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Who let us sit inside as the weather was grim with our dogs. They even treated the pups to a sausage each which Ted n Twiglet give a paws up in being very tasty. Us humans had fish n chips which was freshly cooked, seasoned adequately with salt n vinegar! Delicious crispy batter with light steamed fish inside and the chips were neither thin or thick, too crunchy or soft! This place knows how to cook proper fish n chips - best I’ve had in a long while!

Wonderful staff who were so kind to our pups Ted n Twiglet! The fish n chips were freshly cooked, delicious and not over priced. The service genuinely friendly! 100% recommend

I hadn't been to this fish and chip shop for over 40 years. It was still as good as I remember

Extraordinary, had a great meal from here last night 15/09/23. The Cod was massive 🤣🤣

We had the best fish and chips I have had for ages. The small fish was huge and the chips lovely. We even got to sit it as it was just before closing time. Such friendly staff

Fantastic food, hadn't been there for years. My new go to chippy when I am at our caravan.

Was passing by so called in - had fish n chips, battered sausage n chips. Big portoins, hot, fast service. Would certainly go there again when in Mumbles. Thank you.

Horrible more eyes and bits than chips and at £2.20 a portion not cheap haven't been there for years be years before I go back as well

Hit and miss,sometimes good sometimes not so good ,always a queue,can't understand why,I live locally and generally travel to bay chippy in the sandfields which is 2-3 miles down the road but worth the drive/petrol/time

Amazing food, a little expensive but due to location it was acceptable. I had a large cod and chips which was perfect, few annoying bones bin it but in the whale I was given there was 8 bones so no complaint AT ALL

It's the worst chip shop iv ever been to terrible food over priced awful I would not recommend to my worst enemy

Best chips for a long time and great friendly family ran business

Great food great service a well run family concern.

10/10 for both the food and service, thank you and see you soon! x

His name is Mosuly and his food is quality

Chips were dry and only Luke warm, this is not good enough for the price of nearly £4.00. We won’t go there again.

Great local chippy. Perfectly done for my taste.

Lovely food from a famous family run fish and chip shop. Mmm yummy

One of the best chippies in Swansea! Delicious!

Lovely fish and chips. Enough chips for the three of us and the birds! Really nice chippy. Back in mumbles on a day trip and more fish and chips from Barton's. Cooked to order in 10 mins, piping hot and absolutely delicious. Best fish and chips I've had for a long time.

I,ve tried liking this place as its only 500 metres from my home address but each time I visit I come home disappointed!I,ve lived here 5 years and visited around 5 or 6 times in this period and never had a decent bag of chips,just came back from a visit at 5 on opening time and yet again I have the afternoon leftovers,if you visiting mumbles my advice would be to call at bay chippy in Argyle St on your way for a proper bag of hot freshly cooked chips,come on dick Barton sort it out!you used to be the place to go 50 years ago

Just had the best cod bites, I was expecting small bite size cod pieces but they weren't small at all !!! Cooked to order they were crispy and large white pieces of fresh fish Would definitely recommend 👌

Had large chips and large cod today as well as a carton of curry sauce. Lovely friendly service as always. Phenomenal chips, even the bits taste good and a huge portion. Fish was like Moby Dick and tasted creamy smooth with crispy batter. Hiks chip shop in Brynhyfryd take note, THIS is now you do fish and chips, not your poor chewy imitations.

Overpriced and shut on a Friday night - what’s that all about? Chips taste dreadful go to fish and ale mumbles instead

The chips in this fine establishment are exquisite to say the least. My friends lily and carys love a good sausuage

Always quick and friendly service and a good selection of ready cooked fish, sausages, pies and plentiful chips in generous portion sizes at reasonable prices. Their 'fish bites' offering six small offcuts of fish in batter are very good value and will serve 2 to 3 people. Only criticisms - and hence 4 stars not 5 - are the ubiquotous polystyrene trays for everything. Mindful of the environment and plastic waste I do wish there was the choice of just paper for wrapping; also mindful of fish stocks, I would welcome information on where the fish has come from. Great food, but room for improvement in addressing the environmental concerns of todays consumer.

Went in for cod and chips but after seeing the extortionate prices we opted for sausage and chips. Good portion size but I’m still shocked at the fish prices! £9 for a piece of fish?!

Visited here 40 years ago on a family holiday as a child and I remember it was amazing then. Was pleased to see it still the same and had to try. It is still amazing. Excellent portion size on the edge of being too big (good). Fish and chips was very nice. Had to wait briefly for fish which is good as freshly cooked. Was very pleased to join queue of this busy chip shop which is always the best sign. Will be back.

Thank you for great fish and chips, lovely food, friendly staff, totally recommend

Tiny portion of chips. Past its best by 15 years

Amazing, cooked to order so really fresh. The cod fillet was white and chunky and the batter was crispy, perfect. I recommend it to everyone. It's the best

Very good chips shop,. Menu as per most chippies. There are a few tables inside, but not many, and I'd rather take out as very old fashion setup, and not inviting.

Lovely gravy and chips with a sausage in batter

The food is generally a bit over cooked, but the chips are good. Service is a little lacking compared to some more modern chip shops that have really started to up their game to become super efficient when dealing with large orders or many customers. We visited as a family and I’m afraid there was a lot of left over food that went into the bins in the park out front.

Absolutely loved the food hot fresh and stunning prices very good and staff very friendly and polite deffo recommend this place best around. 👌

Well we travelled to mumbles to this fish shop as it’s excellent value for money!!! Excellent size portions!!! And the food is so hot it was still hot when we got home to Skewen!!! Absolutely delicious and this is by far our favourite to be honest.

Absolutely amazing chips sausage and irish curry this evening!

Every year when we visit Swansea I have to have a rissole, and a Joe's. Well several rissoles (and several Joe's). Still on my quest for the best rissole. It's hard work but someone has to do it. Anyway, as we were passing on our way to Mumbles we noticed it was open. There were four of us in the car, we all had rissole and chips and we all said that they were great, both the rissoles and the chips. Can't wait to visit again. Just don't forget to have ketchup with it.

Lovely chips, great portions. Friendly staff.

Amazing fish and chips, fish was gigantic (and delicious). Very friendly staff.

Curry sauce was cheap, sausage was incredibly salty and the chips were dry/old. Needed a small mortgage to pay. Plenty of chips though and nice owner/manager hence the 2 stars instead of one.

Lovely place best food ever had a chip and cheese burger and woo 😋

Avoid like the plague. Used to love calling back to this chippy on way home from Mumbles and langland as a kid but has drastically gone down hill. Fish was the greasiest fish you could imagine, chips tasted old and you need a small mortgage to cover the cost. Will not make the mistake of calling there again nor paying for that standard of food.

A small portion is enough!! Lovely chips and large sausage in batter. Lively friendly service. We all enjoyed, glad we all only went for a small chips, we all left some!

Very Friendly staff, knowledgeable when asked for Allergies information. Good packaging, good portion sizes

Very clean place. Fish and chips were so amazing would give it a 200 star rating well done it’s amazing so cooked nice and is so very tasty

Lovely fresh cod, cooked to perfection. Flaked perfectly in a delicious batter. Huge portions. Staff courteous and efficient. A lovely treat for the family.

I go to the chip shop and purchase a large cod and small chips which I share with my husband I have a big appetite and I would challenge anyone to eat it on their own

Brilliant battered sausage and chips

Massive portion of fish and tidy chips I’ll be back!

The Cod and Chips were absolutely lovely. Great value for money too.

Mediocre, not awful but I wouldn't go back. They ran out of regular fish portions, you have to buy ketchup and vinegar. I'm surprised the salt"s free. The chips are just ok.

Very nice halloumi and chips. Portion was a good size, great value.

Great fish and chips, fresh cod, large portion sizes, chip portions are ridiculously large. Cooked fresh to order Would definetely return

Brilliant place haven't been the since I was a young boy like 35 years ago but thay the best we had chips left over and put them in the air dryer the following night and thay was the same

Lovely chips, always cooked too perfection, generous portions as well. Friendly staff and a landmark shop with lots of history.

Visited here last year after lockdown and came back this year and twice the fish and chips has been very good large chips is enough to share for 2 people will hopefully return again soon

Went back here after a while and extremely dissatisfied, chips were soggy and tasteless however chicken curry was poor , small chunks of heated frozen chicken cubes , aweful shameful to serve this , went straight in the bin after a few fork fulls . Recommend to stay away .

Lovely chips.first bag since 2019.

Amazing chips 😋😋 and great service 👍

Always superb service and fabulous fish with very generous portions.

Generous portions. Fun experience, great humour with the owner.

Fantastic fish and chips, huge portions

Amazing food and friendly approach! I am regular client and always very satisfied with them :)

Fast, friendly service and great food!

I used to go to this chip shop as a kid and it was always great. However, on this return trip decades later I was extremely disappointed. I ordered large cod and chips & waited 15 minutes for the cod to cook. The cod was...

The oldish guy who looked as I’d he was the owner was extremely rude to his staff, it was busy and he misheard the name the order the food was meant for. He was shouting and swearing at a young girl which was uncalled for!...

Nice chips, fish looks massive but that's reflected in the price

Very good food with lovely chips and a great view over Swansea bay

Simply the finest I have ever had what a wonderful family doing what they can in these difficult times A joy to visit always thanks Steve

Excellent food and friendly staff My dog even has a free sausage if he behaves 😊

Not good at all, very expensive, fish batter like sloppy bread, and cheap frozen fish. Chicken curry??? Small cubes of processed chicken in a supermarket tinned curry sauce. Never go back.

Been looking for ages that do proper chip shop chips and I found it today. I only had chips so can only comment on them but probably the best I've had. Completely covid safe with precautions in place. Will definately be visiting again soon,highly recommended!

2 x chips 2 x fish curry sauce and mushy peas . . £19.20 Okay a little more than I would pay but heard so many good reviews We went Saturday 19th was expecting good things But the fish was greasy where it was dripping and very boney at least 10 in mine and my wife's had more she left half of the fish and the chips May be a bad day at the office for you guys as the staff was very friendy But if your paying £7.10 for your fish I would expect it filleted properly Hopefully in these times you will get on top of the game 1 or 2 bones you would expect but 10 at least not good

Food was alright, but seemed a little pricey, however is probably average considering the area
