Sat in and ate fish and chips. Was not disappointed and would highly recommend. The restaurant was clean and came with condiments. We had haddock and chips twice, my son had a jacket potato. The haddock was a thick piece of fish, suitable battered which was tasty and crispy. Chips were freshly cooked and complimented the fish. My lads potato was spot on. The whole experience was 100% pleasant , with welcoming and acommodating staff. You won’t be disappointed if you eat here, well we weren’t.

Fish & chips dripping in fat portions large but £17 for two fish & chips never again had to bin them . Not even the seagulls liked them far to greasy.

Stopped in here after walking up down lots of places in Barmouth that were either full or not serving food and were so glad we did. Really good customer service, great portions and the best chip shop chips we’ve had in a long time. I had the chicken burger and chips and my wife the medium cod and chips - both were served piping hot, nice and quick and tasted great with really friendly service.

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. 💯😊

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.

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.

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!

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Looks better from the outside. A bit unprepossessing on the inside. No need to book though. Nice moules frites. Depressingly they didn't know where the mussels were from- they are cultivated in the Menai trait and the Conwy estuary, but these could have been from anywhere. Never mind. Good and cheap and a nice bottle of inexpensive Rueda.

Fantastic service and gorgeous food as always. We visited porthmadog and our first destination was allports chippy. I would like to thank the 3 young gentlemen who served me, they were fantastic and they were very welcoming. The food we had was cooked well, and so tasty. My brother had sausage and chips, and the chips were soft on the inside and lovely and crisp on the outside. Myself, my mother and my other brother had the Southern fried chicken breasts. Our favourite go to food from this great chippy. The chicken was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavourful, with a lovely crispy Southern fried coating on the skin. I will definitely be visiting here again in the near future. Thanks again lads .
