Dolphin Fish Bar in Gwynedd

disappointing to see frozen fish being served in a port town a stones throw from the sea . if I wanted Tesco's frozen fish I'd go Tesco's .

Excellent, freshly cooked fish, chips & curry sauce. Decided to eat in and nothing was too much trouble for the great staff. Forget the big queues around the corner & visit the Dolphin - you won't be disappointed.

Best fish and chips ever. Family loved so much Highly recommend

Eat here. Chips were warm, and sausage was a bit warm. Prices are reasonable but didn't enjoy the meal as it wasn't very warm.

Delicious, fresh and great value for money ! The chips are the best we have ever tried! Better than any 5 star restaurant. Hardly any wait to get our food. Totally recommend a visit

Best chippy in barmouth in my opinion, very nice chips, big fish with crispy batter and very well priced. The staff are all lovely and very quick. There's plenty of parking around only a 1min walk, there's a big seating are next to the takeaway. Can get very busy but never waiting to long. Highly recommended. 💯😊

Lovely, welcoming staff who were so helpful when I turned up in the pouring rain with my toddler in a pushchair. (We were soaking wet!) The food was so fresh and tasty and the portions were generous. Our go-to chip shop in Barmouth from now on!

Average at best. Cod was ok and chips just tasted like there were cooked in old oil. Wouldn't go there again.

The haddock and chips were top notch. Recommended!

Really Friendly staff, nice enjoyable meal, clean and tidy and ample portions! Would recommend to others. The food was really fairly priced.

Went here based on reviews and was very disappointed, got haddock and chips twice, one was like a kids portion. The fish on both was very thin and consequently was dry and over cooked around edges. Chips were dripping in fat. Overall some of the worst fish and chips I've ever had.

Stopped in Barmouth on our way through, nice sunny "spring" day, popped into Dolphin fish bar to pick up some dinner. Had the cod & chips. Was very good. Service was great & nice and friendly. Would recommend. .

To start, Staff very pleasant....if I could give the young lady serving 6 stars from 5, I would. She works extremely well ( on her own)... Food , large cod, curry sauce....I'm afraid , although not horrendous...size wise poor and thin? It was very average. Nothing special.

Came for a takeaway today, 2 x cod and chips , 2 x jumbo sausage and chips and they were lovely, generous portions, the batter on the fish was nice and light and the chips very good too, service was also good the young lady was very pleasant .

Absolutely loved their Fish & Chips. Very friendly. The large is huge portion & the fish is a nice size too. Can't completely finish it in one go. They do really nice chocolate Milkshakes with the trimmings. Not too long of a queue as it's the other side of the town, the less busy side. But still very close to the beach. Easy access just across from Coop free carpark. Sorry no photos, I eat it before I could get a photo of it:)

Hubby and I usually go to the Carousel near to Barmouth town centre but were fed up of the miserable staff and the food has gone downhill. Tried The Dolphin and we'll definitely go back again. The chips, fish, fish cake and curry was scrumptious. Definitely going back!

Great takeaway, we had 3 cod and chips and 1 child's fish and chips. Food was absolutely beautiful, and was cooked to order. Would 100% recommend. Also the curry sauce was yummy 😋

Had fish and chips as an evening meal whilst on a brief visit to Barmouth. Excellent food and friendly staff & clean and bright cafe. Recommended.

There is a strange, rather unpleasant smell in this place which is very off putting when you're ordering food. The food is quite nice but the place needs to smell more fresh.

Rubbish fish and chips ,fish undercooked and chips all brown bits for £8 expect better

Friendly service & Great food. Fish was perfectly crisp.

We decided to sit in and eat. Had Fish and Chips with Curry sauce it was perfect lovely fish nice dry chips. would definitely recommend.

Cheap, cheerful, and reasonably well priced. However, avoid tea as it's like hot water.

Amazing atmosphere, everything was prepared freshly and tasted amazing. 10/10

Friendly service. There was a group of us who sat in for food. All of our food was great and thoroughly enjoyed. The chips were so tasty and I liked that the food was not greasy.

I have eaten all over the World this establishment has the title of being the worst ever fish and chips I've had the misfortune to witness. Absolutely Detritous you should be ashamed to take Tender for these offerings DISGUSTING

Best Fish and Chips in Barmouth :)

Excellent food and service. Freshly cooked to order. Love the fish ❤ Great family business. Highly recommended when you visit barmouth

Lovely friendly place. Very welcoming and the food was lovely

Excellent fish and chips in this restaurant. Lovely sitting and beautiful service. We had a very good time having our food with a quiet and tranquil atmosphere.

Fish and chip takeaway, absolutely delicious, couldn’t fault it, light crispy batter, chunky fish portion and tasty chips. Highly recommended

Visited Sunday 3rd Sep. Friendly service and fish and chips both cooked to order. Reasonably priced food with great taste

We had a large plate of chips here with the kids, mainly to get out of the rain and use the facilities. Unfortunately they were probably the worst chips we've ever eaten from a chippy, they were lukewarm and very much like cardboard.

Standard fish and chip fare, nice chips and lovely cod. Generous portions and fair prices. Eat in and Takeaway. Great location with lots of benches opposite to sit and eat your takeaway. There wasn't a queue when we arrived, but was one when we left.

Nice place Fish & chips were very nice..!

Excellent fish and chips and great service. Nice sized children's meals. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend and was a nice find after a day on the beach.

I had fish and chips and now got food position 🤢🤢

Very good fish and chips. Not cheap but not over priced. Make sure you leave plenty of time as often queues out the door.

Went on Sunday afternoon 6/8/23 , very quick & friendly service ordered haddock & chips & piece of cod had to wait 5 mins which staff did inform , not a problem while fish was cooked from fresh & well worth the small wait it was , I've eaten alot of fish & chips on my travels around the world in my lifetime my first time in Barmouth which I loved , but got to be in my top 5 at least absolutely beautiful keep it up guys well done 👏.

Very nice food. Having just driven to barmouth just what you need.

Best chippy we've had whilst in Wales. Queues were out the door but we'll worth it!

Queue was out the door but moving fast, happy friendly staff reasonable price and the food was tasty

The dolphin is just as good as the mermaid but without the crazy queues! Lovely fish n chips. We took our meal out but you can sit in. The dolphin is on a main road & you need to be careful of the traffic going past if you're waiting outside for your food as we were. Parking in the co-op & walking to the dolphin is probably the best option as there's nowhere to park outside. Very reasonable price & good service. We'll be back next time we visit 🙂

Very nice place to get food, we've eaten in and out of the shop and had equally nice food. The eating in area was nice and clean and the staff were very accommodating to a group of us moving a few tables for a bigger group. We all said how nice the food was from our varying orders. Will be going again.

Tasty meals We had haddock, steak pie and fish cakes , gravy, peas -all good A bit slow to open but we waited and it was worth the wait Stairs to the toilet are very steep so this could be a problem for some

Great service friendly.We had a very nice fish and chip meal with wine.

Excellent food and the staff are lovely.

We had some beautiful food here, in fact we went two days on the trot. The fish was very nice and cooked fresh, The chips were nice too. Staff were friendly and nothing was to much trouble. The tables were full each time we visited.

Great fish and chips. Wine as well.

We have been coming to The Dolphin for many years, love the staff and the fact the fish is cooked fresh. 😊 BUT the last few times as previous reviews have said the chips are skinny, greasy, hard and inedible. ☹️ We stopped going, but recently were told the fat chips were back!! We went again and sadly still skinny, horrible chips. Won't return again unless chippy chips are back.

Great service and staff , fish was nice but the chips were awfull. Looked like mcain french fries and was very greasy, not chippy chips at all.

This chippy is banging I literally don't understand the bad reviews. The chips are thin for chippy chips but they're really soft and tasty, if you want dry chips then this isn't the chippy for you but if you want good old fashioned soggy chippy chips then this place is brill. The fish and peas were beautiful!

Just had £20 meal from this chip shop for two people, sorry to say the chips were awful, all in bits and rock hard. Not sure if they are frozen like French fries or just left over from lunchtime. The oil they are cooked in also had a strange taste to it, so all in all not a meal we enjoyed or can recommend.

Do not waste your money !! Ordered chips and gravy cost £4.30 gravy was like water and chips wasn’t proper chips all skinny little bits poss frozen chips all of it was binned

Unfortunately the chips were quite dry and very brittle. The pie was good though and i also had chilli and cheese on the chips. Good job too, as the chips were poor. The staff were pleasant and the service was speedy. The prices were reasonable.

Went in today and the chips were disgusting just bits NOT chips the fish was ok but I would recommend NOT getting chips here , Never again

The best fish and chips we've ever had by the seaside. Quite a queue outside the shop and had to wait a while to get in and be served but the food was worth the wait. Perfectly cooked large cod fillet and the same for the chips. No soggy bits or overcooked bits, just perfect throughout. Reasonable prices too given prices have increased for everyone. Would definitely visit again if returning to Barmouth.

Sorry mate, chips are unhealthy, thin chips are extremely unhealthy, please bring back the fat chips!!

Just awful, We only ordered two bags of chips but they went in the bin. Just bits that most chip shops would throw away and the taste terrible because the oil was so dirty.

Amazing fish and chips with a choice to eat in or takeaway. A touch on the pricey side but great food and service.

Great chip's and used new potatoes they were lovely nice sausage and mushy peas The girl who were serving were very good and quick worked well under pressure well done

Chips are so oily and small cut.Not sure how you can get it so wrong.Even my teenage child left his and said chips tasted weird and he eats like a bill.

Oh dear !!! Was looking forward to fish & chip takeaway overlooking Barmouth Beach. Sadly felt let down by our chippy supper. Chips were small, more like french fries & very oily. Fish also oily with a very thin coating of batter. All in all not very much impressed with what we received.

We’ve regularly visited this chippy, during the last few years and it’s been our favourite, but what has happened to it this year? The chips are awful, lots of hard small bits in the bottom of the tray and cut like French fries. If I wanted fries I would go to McDonalds!

Service was excellent but the food led me down I was expecting fat chips and I got skinny fries and the fish was smelly

Chippy dinner,and you can have alcohol with it. Winning!

Nice people. Fish was nice but chips were undercooked and oil tasted stale

It was a really bad weather day but this was superb for a fish n chip lunch.

Absolutely lovely chips and good value. Good selection and staff great . Nice sit in area get out the driving rain and gail force winds. 👍

Good fish and chips. Speedy serve de and much less of a queue than the one by the sea. Only thing was that they added A LOT of salt so may be worth saying no salt!

Best chippy in barmouth, great prices

Its ok. Not much else I can say

Traditional eat in or takeaway chippy, but with some less traditional specials. I was tempted by faggots and chips but went for haddock in the end. Fantastic! The chips were lovely, but the fish was outstanding. Meaty, succulent and so fresh and the batter crispy and not too thick. Friendly staff. Just a great experience.

Visiting area for weekend, walked to town to pick up some tea for me and my partner and two dogs. Got me cod and chips, chips and fish cakes for dogs. Had chat with owner who was very pleasant. Food was nice and price also was good there. Would recommend this chip shop. Also cooked in veg oil.

It's important to say we all had upset stomachs after our visit to this establishment yesterday, very poor food, very sticky tables, damp grotty salt pots. And expensive too. My advice to you is sell up and let somebody take over that knows what they are doing. (horrendous)

Haven't been in here for ages and after the refurbishment of the shop we thought we would give it a go. Never Again ! The fish was ok, the chips weren't hot and the peas were absolutely revolting. So it looks like the Mermaid is...

The food was absolutely amazing ,fresh fish not dry at all chips were almost like home made chips 😋 all I can say I will be going to this place again

Great place for fish and chips in BARMOUTH

Great staff Awesome chips Excellent sausage Shame about the fish.. It didn't smell or taste very fresh.

Was nice and easy service and it was quick, chips were lovely. Really enjoyed would recommend.

Lovely freshly cooked fish and chips lunch at thr seaside . Good sized portions . Perfect

After experiencing the long queues at the Mermaid, we thought we'd try The Dolphin for our fish and chips family dinner, and so glad we did! No queue, Fish cooked to order, good chips and prices slightly cheaper than the Mermaid, all accompanied with friendly and great service. We would definitely go here again.

Had fab fish and chips/sausage and chips from here yesterday. The food was cooked fresh, the fish was really good, the quality and taste was way above our local chippy. Nice and friendly staff. The price was very reasonable too. Can highly recommend this place.

Cooked fresh, tastes amazing. One of the best fish & chips I’ve had in a while. Wonderful to grab to-go and then munch with a view of the sea

Exceptionally tasty nice fish and chips, probably one of the best I've had - just such a shame that they fry it in palm oil (had to ask which oil they use for my vegan sister).

The chips were very greasy and full of "scraps" that looked like they had been in and out of the fat a few times. The cod on the other hand was delicious and the batter was perfectly crisp and light. Unfortunately the table cleanliness was...

Amazing fish and chips, very busy, very organised so great service and a really organised team. There are other chippies in Barmouth some with great reputations but trust me Dolphin is fantastic. Fresh, hot, beautifully cooked. Thank you

Such amazing fish and chips! It was fresh and not greasy at all. We had it with mushy peas and curry sauce and would happily have gone back every day!

This fish shop has fab food. Staff are lovely. Nothings too much trouble, if it's not cooked they will cook it as you wait!! A range of different foods but a lush fish n chips too!! Was so thankful that they had ice slush drinks there too, appreciated very much in the recent heatwave.thanks folks!,

Hi had lunch in this place beginning of July, though it was only right to give a review, the fish chip peas, gravy and a cup of tea was fantastic, and not over priced the young lad who took the order and served it was extremely pleasant, next time I'm in Barmouth I will definitely visit again. 5 star.

I was in town and thought I'll try this fish and chip shop, for the money great, but the chips were clumped together, the box they came in was flimsy and the chips tasted like fish even though I only had chips, and curry sauce. It tasted like they never changed the oil which is bad considering some people may have allergies. I felt ill later that day. Will not use again...

Very clean good price delicious food and kind friendly service from staff food cooked fresh so not dried up recommend a visit.

Our first time in Barmouth & after an early evening stroll we called for a drink then decided to try one of the local chippy’s. Just by chance we called at The Dolphin & we both absolutely loved their food. We had a 5 minute...

Only had a portion of chips but they were beautifully cooked and lots of them.

Have been coming here for years,recent change in ownership and its really gone down,been twice now and the fish is awful,slimy ,greasy thin and tasted stale,chips hard and tasteless.so disappointing.we won't be back

Been a customer for years,but this place has changed hands recently and sadly not as it was,have tried twice now and fish is awful,slimy,greasy and tastes stale,hard chips,so disappointing

Thoroughly enjoyed our takeaway fish and chips from this establishment on 8 June. Very reasonably priced and so tasty.

dry fish, good chips, terrible peas, watered down curry sauce, very good tartar sauce.

We were disappointed with our meal today. It's just not the same anymore. Suffice to say we will not be going again.

Great choices and kids menu. Only one veggie option but it was a lovely homemade veggie lasagne.
