Express Fish and Chips in Ceredigion

The lady who took my order was abrupt and did not have a friendly manner. We found Express Fish and Chips expensive and the food was below par. Our order was a takeaway order, and despite asking for salt and vinegar on the chips, there was none. Fortunately, I checked the order before leaving, as some of the food was missing. There was no apology, and our food (£33 for four people) was merely placed on the counter. It was far too much to carry, and I had to ask for a bag. We wouldn't return.

We came her after riding the Vale of Rheidol Railway and taking the challenging Devil's Gate hike. We were very hungry after all of that tramping around. My friend had been here before and took us here, and I got the mixed seafood and chips. It was great. I had to resist the urge to inhale it rather than eat it slowly. If I am ever in this area again, I will be sure to seek it out for a return visit.

We used to dine here for breakfast and lunch with the family before covid . Always had lovely food and good service. Due to ill health etc We have been unable to visit until last week . Oh my goodness what a disappointment. Sorry we won't be back . My breakfast was a plate of baked beans with one small sausage one small rasher bacon and an over fried egg my tea was luke warm but my one piece of toast was ok . Girl that served not had much of a clue and very scruffy not even an apron on .My bubby had the larger breakfast but again not impressed especially when a little fly flew up at him out of the breakfast.

Called in on spec. Ordered 4 x fish and chips and one with a pot of tea and bread and butter. The waitress was prompt, polite and helpful but it was all down hill after that. The fish was passable but the chips of two colours, brown and white, some fresh and some possibly pre cooked. The bread and butter tasted more like bread and margarine and the teabag in the kettle was clearly a bulk bought cheapie, making the tea grey looking. The final insult was that neither the Heinz ketchup nor the HP branded sauce bottles contained the original sauces but had been filled with cheap rubbish. If you're going to sell low quality food and cut every corner imaginable then al least cut your prices and not charge high prices for low quality! Not recommended.

I understand it’s Easter but was very quiet when we went in for a takeaway had pie and chip pie was hard obviously stood a long time very dry chips where 2 different colours some where very dark brown but soft inside others where very pale and hard on inside not cooked through Not a cheap place so normally expect top quality the sausage and savloy where good though hope this is not the future of this chippie

We had a great breakfast, lovely feiendly staff, made us feel very welcome. Quick service, will come back soon. Keep up the good work team

Good fish and chips. Friendly staff and quick service.

Recommended by a local. I ate in and had the Cod and Chips with tartar sauce, which were lovely. The staff were friendly and service was quick.

Removed bathrooms and not the best

Had a take away, it was packed! The fish n chips were excellent, cooked to order and didn't have to wait very long. Lovely!

Excellent service and freshly cooked food will use next time we are there.

Outstanding breakfast.. and great service and welcome from the staff..🤟🏻

Good service and very tasty fish and chips.

Always great service, staff are always friendly and helpful. Food is amazing, so if you’re in Aberystwyth it’s definitely a place to try and being so close to the train station and beach, it’s ideal.

The food tastes of washing up liquid.

Very nice fish & chips, some of the best I've had to be honest. It was a pleasant surprise to have battered sea bass, which I've never had before. The chips themselves were also very good, as was the curry sauce. We sat in, which made it more expensive, but still cheaper than most restaurants, and it made for a good people-watching spot!

Cod and chips was very good, but, the staff, they were amazing. Was in town looking for my nans grave (not been in Aber for about 15 years). The staff were brilliant, 4 members of staff all helping, taking time out when they were already busy. Thankyou x

Great food, freshly made when I went in. Brilliant service, positive energy from the lady serving us, didn't catch her name. Vibes

Don't often pop in here but can highly recommend the chip shop and the cafe. The foods always hot and we'll presented they include a cup of coffee with the breakfast. I had a lovely bacon and egg bap my hubby had a breakfast. Both were delicious with a nice a couple of coffees. The staff here are Realy friendly and polite they certainly know how to make you feel welcome. We used to go a lot to the other cafe before it closed still miss it. Now it's nice to just pop in for hubby to get a tray of chips or brekie. He sometimes pops in on his own if he's in town without me. So go in if your passing and see what they have to offer can highly recommend the breakfast if you fancy one. And if you have a big appetite then your definitely going to enjoy eating here. I wish them all the best and hope that during these trying times their business continues to thrive. 😊

Great little cafe. Went two days in a row and had a great chat both days with customers and staff. Great service. Food was good, hot and arrived quickly. Top Stuff!

Terrible. Took our food home to find loads of manky fluff mixed in with the chips. Not very hygienic behind the counter either. Very disappointed.

Chips were overcooked but the sausage was very nice.

Friendly and helpful staff. They did an awesome steamed fish with spices, onion and tomato. Very good!!! One of the best I have had.

Very good, chips just right too

Absolutely amazing fish and chips! We sat in and ate rather than takeaway! The person who served us was really friendly and quick at serving our food! The fish and chips was by far the best we have had really light batter lovely tasting fish and chips not greasy at all. We took our dog in as they are dog friendly which was also a nice touch. Will be our first stop when we visit Aberystwyth again!

Visited here while on holidays, so of course had the fish and chips, really nice food, and fantastic portion sizes too even the kids meals

Gluten free fish was fish with no batter!!!!!!!!!! All the vinegar bottles full of fruit flies (3 out of 4), scampi was not scampi, food over cooked (sea food plater) kids meals came out about 15 mins after adults.

Lovely fresh food. Really enjoyed it

Really nice breakfast and fish and chips

Had fish and chips today had we are on holiday and the chips were trebbile they had been reheated, the fish was small but nicely cooked and we had 2 sausages aswell I don't think il be revisiting there they need to improve there chips

Expensive and the food wasn't great.

Absolutely fantastic staff and food, nothing too much trouble. Throughly recomend.

If you paid £15 for this, you wouldn't be disappointed, it was excellent. The fact it was well under a tenner made it brilliant, nice bunch of lads working there

I'm actually glad that Wetherspoons wouldn't allow us to sit outside with our dog and have breakfast. I would never have gone in there otherwise. We were allowed to take our dog inside the cafe whilst we had breakfast. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Couldn't do enough for us. The breakfast was outstanding! And very reasonably priced too! I'd definitely recommend 👌

Best chippy in town 100%. I love the curry sauce 😭🤩

Great local chippy. Perfect when waiting for a bus or train as right by the station.

Clean and freshly prepared food and friendly staff.

Let down by not having a toilet otherwise nice place

Had a burger and chips from here. Overall a very nice meal, made with good, fresh ingredients (Crisp salad, soft fresh bread) Very polite staff.

Fantastic gluten free chip shop. Even cooked me a fish without batter. Highly recommended

After travelling round Aberystwyth in the rain looking for these non existent gluten free fish and chip shops, I came across this place, and while they couldn’t do battered gluten free fish ( the chips were) they did a lovely piece of fish in foil that complimented my meal. They even let me and my little dog who was under the table to sit inside and eat them with enjoyment. You are missing a trick, because if you bought a deep fat fryer just for gluten free food you would get coeliacs visiting your fish and chip shop as there isn’t another establishment in Aberystwyth Thank you

Nice clean cafe and friendly staff. Good breakfast and reasonably priced.

Absolutely lovely food, lovely staff. Highly recommend!!!

Great service, Fried cockles are delicious.

Great fish and chips and a lovely brew

Nice clean place with friendly staff and the fish and chips were delicious, best I've had for a long time

A great breakfast. Definitely going back

Fish really small compare to other chippies . Other than that really tasty and fresh

Fab food, service was slow but everything was freshly cooked so im not complaining.

Friendly staff and good clean fish & chips

We ordered 2 mugs of tea and 2 fish and chips mid p.m.30 June. The fish and tea were fine. The chips were not. They had clearly been reheated and were barely warm. Half of them were inedible. The waitress said she did not know what the policy was when I asked for a part refund. The bill was £19.90, which I paid by card, but according to my bank account another £3.90 was charged, which I assume was for the teas. We are disappointed and feel cheated. We will not be recommending this place.

Fish was nice, tartar sauce a nice touch, sauces hot, but chips were a complete let down, hard and really dry, having to wait 15mins for it to be cooked, I would have preferred fresh chips,

Fish could of been cooked a bit longer

Adult meals slightly on the expensive side chips weren't fresh. But the table was was great and the chicken was lovely

Ok, bit expensive for what you get. Lemon was a nice touch though for the fish.

Really friendly staff - helpful when explaining what could be made gluten free too. Cheap prices and massive, tasty portions.

Good fresh food, came quickly and well priced

Geasy and swimming in oil. Twice in 2 weeks

Tripadvisor family stay well clear of this place.we ordered the fish and were told it would be cooked to order sound good?but what a con when it arrived the fillet of fish was 3oz without the batter and the majority of other fish & chip shops in the UK would have classed this as mini fish????we were charged £5.15p each no chips included.the batter was soggy and undercooked they do not know how to make proper crispy fish batter it is not rocket science and you can even purchase it in a mix just add water they are amateurs obviously???????? perhaps they trade on a one visit mentality.

On holiday, I walked a mile to this Fish and Chip shop and got there for 8:40 pm, only to be told that they were closed and they closed at 8:30! The website says it is open until 10pm! The lad that was in the shop said he couldn't change the website and that it had been like that for 5 years! Not good customer service at all!

Recommended to anyone in the area, one of the best fish and chips we've ever had. Light thin crispy batter on a succulent fish, lovely chips and homemade tartar sauce, lots of other options too. Friendly staff too. Can't fault it.

Visited family in Aberystwyth today and had 'the best fish and chips' I have had in a very long time! Delicious. 😋 Loved the lemon slice and fresh tarter sauce that came with it - Thank you. I look forward to a return visit and highly recommend to anyone visiting this seaside town.

Lovely cod bites with regular chips are more than plenty to eat glad I didn't have large lol

Great fish and chips. A little pricey.

After a reminder about the water bought not provided it turned out the 2 sets of mushy peas were missing too. They need to sharpen up the system which is rather messy with 2 people serving the food. Presentation was good and fish and chips were OK, but rather greasy and the fish not the freshest.

Tasty and now queue 2 mins from the beach

Good staff and good service also value for money

As always amazing service, the employees are always friendly and the food is fantastic, my new favourite weekly stop.

My partner and I have ordered from here several times. The chips are very tasty, the breakfasts we have ordered from here have been great - in fact my partner bought me one whilst I was in labour with our baby! The scampi, we think, is probably overpriced for the size of portion. Also, my partner was not the biggest fan of the fish, however I quite liked it!

Myself and my team have been coming here for over a month carrying our covid 19 testing. We ate here on our first day, and I thought it was the best fish and chips I had eaten for a very long time. Some of my staff had tried others around the town but still said it's the best. So its not just my review it's my team of 9 others review too. We'r leave on Friday 20th but will all be visiting before we leave for our journey back to Birmingham. Thankyou for great food.

I came here with my family and the food was really good perfectly cooked chips , curry sauce was on point all my family really enjoyed the meal would definately recomend

Love the staff amazing banter best chips in aber

Old chips, more grease than cod, and genuinely the worst fishkake I've ever tasted. Go to spoons opposite for a better experience.

Told to sit at one of 3 tables only all were really dirty and 2 uncleared. There were alot of other clean tables to sit at all distanced . Poor attitude and harsh tone from the lady to say the least. If you are going to be lazy you don't deserve any custom.

This place lived up to its name, express, and the breakfast was wonderful. Just what we had been craving. Staff were lovely and friendly too. We would definitely recommend this establishment.

Cant fault, lovely food and staff. Would reccomend :)

Great food, so fresh & piping hot. Clean & Covid-19 safe. Gluten free chips & peas went down a treat. Hubby’s fish was so fresh it could have swum out of the frier. Definitely recommend this place. We ate in an enjoyed every mouthful.

One of this nicest fish and chips Was cooked fresh and was so tasty not greasy !! Lovely and attentive staff members Only did one size cod which was the right size for me but not the biggest cod if you are more hungry

Brilliant lunch and tip top Fish and Chips on a rather stormy day. Highly recommended!

Keep a eye on what they charge you as "meal deals" won't be charged correctly... No toilet facilities

Came here for breakfast and they had a large menu which was all reasonably priced and tasted great

Wonderful takeaway service! Staff very friendly and food very good

Great service and excellent food

Very poor food. Not fresh chips, very oily fish. Friendly staff.

My wife and I decided to stop off here for a light lunch after a walk around the town. We were quickly seated and browsed the menu. We both chose Jumbo Sausage and Chips with Gravy and it didn't disappoint. A generous portion and very tasty. The staff were very nice and helpful and even gave my wife 20 pence to use the public toilets as their own had builders working on them. Would recommend this Chip Shop although Aberystwyth is looking a little run down these days (just like the missus .............joking lol).

Excellent service, friendly and knowledgeable! Needed a gluten free meal and had fresh cod, chips and mushy peas, no batter but that made it even better for me. Will definitely call in again, when next in Aberystwyth.

Lovely fish and chips and pleasent staff

lovely place, enjoyed the breakfast. staff were very friendly and welcoming. prices were good. provided dog bowl outside. covid guidelines being followed

Excellent range of food and drink at reasonable prices. Opposite the railway station. Friendly staff.

Great service. Very friendly. All cooked fresh. Love the cardboard boxes. Beautiful white cod and well cooked chips. If i didn't live 2.5 hours drive away i would be a regular!

Visited last week while on holiday. Great service and lovely food. And the best bit was the lovely lady that served us, who spent the time to talk to our youngest son who is autistic, She was happy for him to eat his own food while we dined. Just that little bit of understanding, time and patience means a great deal. Will definitely return when in Aberystwyth again.

We just turned up on the last very busy Wednesday evening of the Government ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme and were lucky enough to grab a table outside. There was a slight delay in getting served, but this was understandable. Once we were served, the food soon arrived.Basically this is a fish and chip shop, they serve tasty home made chips and neatly presented.The café is located in the centre of Aberystwyth, conveniently opposite the railway station. We will definately call again.

Very nice food and polite staff.

We stumbled on this fantastic cafe while on Holiday in August (2020).There were 4 off us and we really thought it would be difficult to find anywhere due to the Covid regulations. We had tried to book a couple of places recently and were told that the earliest we could book would be 10 to 11 days in advance (not good when you're only there for a week - take note, if you're going somewhere on Holiday try and book well in advance)Anyway, we got here on a Wednesday and ordered 3 Fish and Chips and one of our party had the Halloumi with chips.Portuons were excellent (9 sticks of Halloumi) and the chips were well cooked.The tables are separated by perspex sheets or screens and the staff take care to make sure you aresafe.There are also tables outside which will take up to 6 people.The service was excellent and we couldn't fault it at all.Total for 4 meals and drinks was around £35 but found it halved because it was an eat out to help out day.Cash was accepted and as it was so cheap (and I have still been paid fully during lockdown) made it up to £30-00The owner must have paid a lot to get his business to open and be safe for us so I figured if you can help, why not....

Fab service and lots of chips to go with a cracking burger.

Lady who served me was very friendly. She was running around dealing with customers in a very professional manner. Had two portions of chips to take home and they are the best chips I've ever had. Looked at the menu board as they do other meals during the day and seems a good selection only issue there's no prices next to the items except the fish menu. The portion of chips was £2.60 and there was ample for two of us.

We come here when we are on holiday, the food is always good and the staff are friendly. The fish and chips are delicious.

Amazing just what we needed staff very helpful

Had 15 minutes before our train (the last) and was incredibly hungry after a day at the beach with 3 young children, so we ordered here. Due to it being peak hour, it was incredibly busy (which was a fault of my own). It got to 3 minutes before departure and I had to get my family to leave to ensure they'd get home. The staff tried their absolute hardest and worked as fast as they could, but I had to leave with literally 30 seconds to spare before my trains departure. Also leaving the food behind as the last of it was just coming out of the fryer, and sprinted. I managed to just make the train with around 15 seconds to spare, turn around and there was a girl from the restaurant with our food, she passed it through and seconds later the doors closed. Thank you so much, our food was absolutely worth almost missing a train for. And your staff member is absolutely in the wrong industry! 😂

Three of us went away for a couple of days in Aber, as no restaurants were open, we looked for somewhere to eat, we chose Express chippy, there were tables outside so I sat and waited for my wife to return. When she finally turned up with our fish & chips we started to eat, the fish batter was like pudding batter & as thick, the fish was not cooked, the chips were like leather & as dry. We moaned about the quality & threw them into a nearby bin. How this place has such rave reviews is beyond me, utter rubbish. Use the chippy opposite the pier miles better.
