Finnegans Fish & Chip Restaurant and Takeaway in Bridgend

Delicious fish and chips!Portions too big yo eat all,but excellent!

Lovely and clean, spotless, in fact... the best fish and chips anywhere 😋 no question about that! I always go for extra large Cod & chips ,accompanied by a bowl of curry sauce. There is an extensive menu, with a great love this place.

Try the fruity curry sauce! Coorrr, lovely! Nice atmosphere, clean environment. Really nice chips and great fish. Eat in or eat out. Seconds from the sea. Recommended.

Exactly what you could hope for! Delicious options of fish and unlimited chips (although one serving was enough), the curry sauce and homemade tartare sauce was lovely too. Friendly staff aswell.

Great food great service and just a lovely place to eat

Stunning cod and chips just a little expensive.

Lovely fish and chips and you get unlimited chips.

Always the best customer service and food is always fresh, prices are fairly reasonable and the option to eat in or take out is a bonus👌

Could be cheaper although fish is always cooked to order. Can get very busy

Saturday afternoon and the chip shop was empty. No atmosphere. There were five of us, 3 under 12 cost £90 for 3 fish and chips sausage in batter and a pie and chips. Cans of drink were a rip off at £2.50 a can. Chips were sweet and old. Obviously blanched chips from lunch time re fried. For £90 we could have gone out for a decent meal at a restaurant. Incredibly over priced for very average food

Lovely fish and chip supper. Eaten in the restaurant.

Dropped in for a sit down meal, everything was better than expected. Fish and chips were delicious. Ate too quickly for a photo. Well worth a visit.

Lovely place I try to take my mother's friend here twice a year.... pricey food but worth it....😊 Seats need to be accommodating for the larger person and elderly as hard to get in and out as can't move table..

Very good food but extremely overpriced.

Food was lovely. Meals were large in size! A little expensive....cost me almost £20 for 2meals for my daughter and I plus a fruit shoot and a can of pop.

Great food, loved the Irish curry. Has been a must visit every time me or my parents have been.

A short walk from the esplanade is this fish & chip shop where you can eat in or takeaway. Fantastic service & all freshly cooked. Delicious with lots of choice.

Called in the other lunchtime with a group of friends and managed to all sit together as the staff went out of their way to accomodate our party although the restaurant was very busy and that is not suprising as the food was delicious and we didnt have to wait very long at all. I had heard the food was great and it lived up to its reputation.The cod was fresh and chunky , the batter had a wonderful taste and not too thick and the chips had a really pleasant home made flavour. Home made tartar sauce was an added pleasure. Considering the chips were offered on an " all you can eat basis" and the overall excellent quality on offer, I thought it very good value for money ........you must go !

Delicious, second time for us to visit

Fantastic cod and chips. Great service and staff.

So we have been here a few times but not in about a year ,I was surprised how quiet it was for half term but I suppose it is a Monday but the sun is out. I'm wondering if it's due to the prices £30 for two cans ,1 sausage cheese and chips and 1 cheese ,beans and chips is crazy even for sit down. Really disappointed . Update to reply to the comment from the shop - sorry you are correct I did forget the Glamorgan sausage BUT it definitely came to a few pence under £30 for chips ,beans ,cheese , Glamorgan sausage and a can and sausage ,chips and cheese and a can so I stick to my guns it's too expensive sorry . The air-conditioning would be great if the doors were shut and every food buisness should be clean . Sorry if offended you but that's my view . Most people I would assume would rather a lower price than extra free chips.

Popped in on Friday for a sit down lunch with friends - first time I’ve been but the best fish n chips I’ve had since I was a kid. The batter on the cod was absolutely *on point* and the chips were top too. Could not recommend enough - will definitely be going back when I’m next in the area. Staff were great too, very friendly and took great care of us at the table

Visited on Friday lunchtime and had the most wonderful fish, chips and mushy peas. Quality, freshness and taste were second to none. Will definitely visit again and would highly recommend. Easy 5 stars.

Very overpriced for what I had. You’re looking to spend around £15ish per person (which for a chip shop is significant). I do understand this is sitting in prices but still way too much. Had I realised before I’d paid and sat down I’d likely of not bothered. One plus is it is unlimited chips (but I’d prefer the price be reduced instead as portion is enough). The food was ok. The chips were nothing amazing but not bad either, just fairly standard all around. The waitress was helpful and made sure we had what sauces etc we wanted. For the breakdown of the score: 5/10 for pricing, 8/10 for service, 7/10 for food = 6.6/10 (3.3 star out of 5).

Best fish and chips in Porthcawl. Excellent quality cod. Thanks

I ordered breast of Chicken and Chip, but the chips weren't very nice, a lot of them were hard and crunchy. The Chicken was a little dry. Not the best experience

Great food poor seating for bigger people 6,4 20st I had to lean back on the seat to eat, portion sizes are brilliant for little eaters and big eaters. Take advantage of the unlimited chips with your meal.

Very expensive paid 3.99 for a kids plate of chips 5.50 for a normal portion

Plenty of room and we'll laid out. Clean and pleasant place to eat. Order at the counter. I ordered Cod and Chips. As I was about to pay, I was asked, "Mushy Pease"? I of course said yes, because it's normal practice. I was then asked. "Homemade Tartare"? To which I said, "yes". Here's the breakdown: Cod & Chips = £14.99 Mushy Pease = £2.75 Himemade Tartare = £1.00 Can of Coke = £2.50 Americano Coffee £3.50 Total = £24.74 I'll leave it to you, to decide as to whether you consider this good value. I will not be going here again.

Always had really friendly staff excellent service. Always call in when I'm in Porthcawl. I had chicken curry, rice and chips today. Mam had the mini cod option. Stunning food and a lovely welcome from the staff fetching my dog in. First question was do you want water for the dog. Thanks to all staff. Gorgeous food as usual 😋

Fabulous fish & chips freshly cooked. Even had a slice of lemon. Superb.

Very tasty fish & chips, a little on the pricey side, but this is a seaside resort and you expect slightly higher prices. We had our meal inside rather than takeaway and the place was very clean and in very good condition. The restaurant was recommended to us by a family member and I would recommend them to other family and friends.

When we walked in, the waitress, Mirran I think, was superb. She didn’t stop smiling throughout. The food was exceptional especially the light thin batter which was crisp right to the end. Chips that tasted like the potatoes they once were. And homemade tartare. I think the recipe is on the menu board. They must have excellent ventilation because there was absolutely no ‘chip shop’ smell throughout We’ll definitely return

Overpriced and nothing special, ordered chicken curry and chips. Zero chicken, thick goo of a sauce. All for the price of £11. Seriously this shop is taking the piss with the prices. It wouldn't of been so bad if there was actually meat in the curry. I'll stick to other places in Porthcawl. This place is a RIP OFF

A nice fish restaurant, but was a little expensive for the food served.

How anyone can complain about the food is beyond, we have been many times and are going tomorrow taking our mum and dad, have a lovely stroll round Porthcawl then off to our favourite place

Absolutely delicious sea food 😋

The lady in the takeaway section was unfriendly and did not smile and greet me back when I smiled and greated her. The man was also unfriendly and handed me my oder without even looking at me. The chips were not fresh and had been precooked. Their food is a hit and miss each time I have been. Sometimes lovely and fresh and other times precooked chips. Unfortunately last Saturday will be my last visit there.

If you’re getting fish and chips in Porthcawl, this is the place to do it. Fresh, chunky goujons with crisp batter, lovely chips, homemade tartare and a good choice of options for a chip shop. We sat down and enjoyed our food. They often have deals on but happy to pay more for high quality, clean restaurant and friendly staff. Always come when I’m back home.

First time at this chip shop. Fish & chips looked delicious & was very well presented , wasn’t greasy batter cooked lovely but unfortunately had no taste to any of it very disappointed ☹️

Quality food Pleasent helpful staff thank you very much

This is our 3rd visit here, the first time was beautiful, it was all perfect, however each visit it gets a little worse. Visited earlier in the week and the service was generally good, the shop was very quiet and we ordered food to takeaway to eat in the car on the sea front. The mushy peas and sausage were tasty and excellent, 9/10 for those, solid effort. Chips… bland, dry and tasteless I’m afraid (we both thought that) Fish (pictured) was ok however priced at £8.99 I believe… quite disappointing size for the price size. Sadly and with regret we’ll likely go elsewhere next time.

Spotlessly clean, lovely food and great service, we will return!

Plenty of choice!!! Good value 👍👍👍

Normally great fish and chips ,sprayed salt and vinegar on ,bland taste

No gluten free after previous advertised

The staff were lovely and friendly but the food was a bit of a let down. We ordered a fish and chips, scampi and chips and chicken and mushroom pie and nothing tasted that great, it was all a bit bland. The vinegar was also very watered down and tasted of nothing. Even though the staff were nice about everything and refunded a cheese rissole, the experience wasn't great and I wouldn't visit again. Reply: Google reviews is hardly a social media, it's a place to write about experiences which is exactly what I did. I put my honest opinion on here because I think it's important for people who want to visit to know what other experiences are like. We came to your shop because it had good reviews and were disappointed that it didn't match up to them. I absolutely did not get a kick out of putting up a review, as you'll see, I put 5 stars for service because I appreciate that the service was indeed good, just that the food wasn't. I have now changed the stars down to 2, and the overall stars down to 1 because I don't appreciate your attitude to my very honest and fair review. The whole point of Google reviews is to review what restaurants are like, I honestly don't know what you expected. My review mentioned all the good things about the restaurant e.g. the friendly staff and the speedy refund of the rissole so I don't understand why you are being so passive aggressive with your reply. Than you for your invitation to come back but you have just cemented my decision to not return.

The food is very nice can't complain. The only complaint I do have is the price, one jumbo sausage and chips twice came to a hefty £18.00.

Can’t remember the last time I had a chippy as nice as this. Absolutely banging

Not the best welcome, food bland and overpriced

Fantastic local chippie with unlimited chips and the best fish for miles. Paying a bit extra is well worth it for the quality of the food. Keep up the amazing standards.

Called in for Fish & Chips. All cooked fresh and tasted great 👍

Just curry sauce and chips for myself and an Irish curry for my hubby it was quite nice tea was lovely brough a can of coke that was 2 pounds a roll after I paid but did not turn up then asked for the can of coke was told you have to get it yourself then asked for the roll and was asked to pay again so that's not good but all in food was OK place looked clean

This place is something quite special

We visited to pick up a takeaway, but it was quite cold outside, so decided to eat in. Piping hot battered fish, chips and Irish curry sauce, washed down with a dandelion and burdock. Look forward to our next visit.

Great restaurant fish and chips first class 5 star. Service great. Dog friendly. Don't miss this place to eat if you are in Porthcawl

Best fish and chips Ive eating this year...!!!!

Lovely chips! But unfortunately a very rude and miserable staff member (gentleman in a fishermans beanie) made the experience a negative one. Came across with a rude and patronising tone, and made a snarky comment whilst calling for collection. Shouldn't be in customer service, a KP might be a more suitable role or something non-customer facing. It costs nothing to be friendly, let alone not be rude.

Great food, well presented restaurant. Staff very good. A little pricey but it is by the seaside

As always friendly staff, scrumptious food and a dog friendly designated area. Can't fault it. 👍👍

Got say prices were terrible. I ad special which looked same as normal meal for 6pound cheaper. But it was stunning food. Fish could had more batter for my liking.

We ordered chips and curry whilst we enjoyed some sun at the beach, the chips were lovely but £2 for a small curry poured over the chips is unacceptable.

Beautiful fish and chips,bit pricey but still enjoyed

Popped in for a quick takeaway before heading home after a day at the beach. Really good chips and pie. Had a chip buttie which was crammed full and a large size.

1st class great tasting cod and chips and nice tasting Welsh cider.

Really good fish and chips, staff really friendly. Resteruant was quiet when we went.

We drive around an hour and a half to get here have been quite a number of times. The staff make you really welcome and the fish and chips are amazing. You can sit in or take out and it's always been spotless when we have visited, you can also have a glass of wine with your meal if you like and there's lots on the menu.

Myself and three of my friends ate at this restaurant at lunch time today. The food was freshly cooked, absolutely delicious and the staff were very friendly. *****Star review from me and my friends!

Absolute rip off.. £8.60 for the smallest portion ever... try to find another chippie if your hungry!

For a fish n chips takeaway, this was very very nice. The staff were very nice and helpful and the food was all very good . I even managed to order the Whitebait which isn't listed on the menu. The wait wasn't too long either and there is a large restaurant area if you want to eat in . Only downside is it was hard to park somewhere to get to it but that's out of control of the restaurant.

awesome young friendly staff large food portions great value for money

Chips were hard and disgusting, some still had roots. Batter on the sausage was dripping with grease. Very poor quality. Waste of money

Ate here after walking the Coast Path from Port Talbot (15 miles). Food was very good, staff were friendly, and it was great to sit down!

The best and the most fresh and tasty fish and chips I have ever had. Very nice and clean restaurant. Very helpful staff. Thank you.

Really good sauces and unlimited chips 😋

Excellent Fish and Chips, freshly cooked. Really helpful staff, nothing too much trouble.

Plenty of seats, food was OK, but the batter overcooked and tough... And it took a long to arrive (we didn't order fish). Unlimited chips apparently, but requested a second portion which never arrived.

We were just visiting for the day, but all was very good.

Best fish and chips I had for a long time 🙂

Food is always excellent and service is good

Food great. Fish was beautiful. It lacked atmosphere.

Had a piece of cod here yesterday. Best piece of fish I have eaten in a Long time. Crispy batter pure white cod and cooked absolutely spot on!!

Wonderfully clean inside. Staff really friendly. We were met & seated as we were called in from outside The lady took our details for track & trace. Hand sanitizer provided. Showed to our table. Curry & chips were lovely, I would definitely have that again. Hubby had pie & chips, he enjoyed it. A small part of the seating area is dog friendly.

Very clean, lovely happy staff. Lovely fish and chips. A spacious restaurant.

The staff were very pleasant and the fish and chips were great the batter was light and crispy you couldn't fault it 🍽 a clean plate 👍

Food was lovely and freshly cooked, service was great staff really friendly and polite, place is spotlessly clean will be coming back great atmosphere

Fish and Chips midday today and was spot on - cheers guys

Expensive for fish and chips twice and 2 coffees £27.60

Very nice staff lovely food and clean we called in to have another meal it was perfect and very nice the food is always hot and l must say you don't have to wait long and the staff are very helpful.

By far the best fish and chips in Wales

Call themselves dog friendly… but only one dog is allowed in. Arrived with my wife, 1 year old and dog and we’re told we couldn’t come in as there was already a dog here. Don’t advertise as dog friendly, really frustrating and unhelpful

First class food staff very polite

Not sure what was award winning about this place... Half the fish wasn't available, some chips were hollow, gravy extremely salty, Ron Evans pie horrible, dog friendly but that meant we were hidden in the back by the toilets, very little light. Toilets wet on floor, no space to change nappies. Unlimited chips - husband liked that! - and good onion rings & mushy peas.

We had fish and chips in the restaurant, and it was so good! All the trimmings, i recommend the Irish gravy! smooth and tasty, lovely mushy pees, fresh Lemon on the side with an ice cold peroni to wash it down! Very pleasant experience indeed. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Half battered sausage and to be polite Al dente chips, this is after a 20 minute wait, so disappointing

Very friendly and helpful staff. Food was top notch, thanks

Lovely fish and chips and very friendly staff and they make a fine brew of tea

Had fish and chips. Fish was fresh and nicely cooked. The restaraunt was ok, nothing fancy, quite large , had no problems finding a table when others were full. Prices reasonable

We sat in it was lovely quick service and very welcoming

Great cod... and unlimited chips! Who could ask for more?
