Out of no choice as my regular chippy was closed , I had no choice but to visit Fintans again in Whitchurch. I knew it would be terrible food and I was right. all the chips are mishaped and some were curled up and discloured. Was there anything tasty and attractive about the food NO. The chef needs to quit or get some guidance from the chef in Fintans Llanishen . I suggest look at the quality of chips being served and say would I eat that. Would those chips being served win awards NO Look at the feedback on tripadvisor and Google and think why so many poor comments. Im definately not going to be a regular as it will be disappointing on every visit, the one of visit twice year is ok as im not wasting my cash.

The Haddock was lovely but the description said "skinless and boneless" but there way skin on the fish. Luckily there were no bones. The chips were a bit dry and not cooked enough. They weren't crunchy on the outside or fluffy on the inside and the Colliflower In Batter was under cooked, very small, (I only received 4 pieces) and not worth the price.

I've worked there as Frayer before and I must say something went wrong Spiro. Your standard in comparison to top gun is downhill, dunno who is on Frayer but dude , fish is done when it floats, let it drip and check for white spots, don't over flour it , just tap it slightly shake of dip in batter let it drip of and as you put it in oil going be it a stir holding via tail part. Or next time I'll fry it myself. Kinda disappointed ☹️. Damian.

Called in as we were in the area. Ordered fish bites, 2 jumbo sausages and a large chips, thinking the chips would be enough for three adults, but nope. It was a shocking portion of chips, compared to most other chip shops, and for the price (£4.50). The staff in the shop were nice and there was nothing wrong with the food itself, but you're better off ordering a portion of chips per person.

Fish was amazing, best I've had from a chip shop in years. Chips!!! Well! They were so undercooked they looked anaemic. The amount I received for the price they charged, was daylight robbery. Ordered some minty mushy peas too. Went straight in the bin! They tasted like a mushy pot of powder, which in no way tasted minty!! Was so disappointed as I'd heard good things about them. Would most definitely order Fish from them again, but as for anything else, no I wouldn't

Ordered last week and all the food was really nice, so much so I added this compliment to this evening’s order. What a total difference in quality and service! The fish fillet was the smallest piece of fish that I have ever seen eventhough a large was ordered and paid for. The chips were not fresh and were all congealed into a stodgy greasy solid block of greasy cold potato. The pasty was very greasy too due to it being wrapped for so long and the curry sauce was stone cold. I ring the restaurant to complain and was informed that the food had been prepared/wrapped as soon as I submitted my order and the the Just Eat driver cancelled so they had to wait yet another 30mins for another driver so this was the reason all the food was cold. However, this is not a reason to justify the size of the fish and they should not have wrapped the food until the Just Eat driver arrived being it literally takes only minutes to wrap at a fish shop. What a total waste of £17+

Very disappointed with tonight’s visit!! My wife drove me here after a lovely evening out, as we had lovely fish and chips from here about a year ago. I ordered the chicken curry and chips at a cost of £8.05 when I got home the curry was dry and tasted powdery, there was little chicken considering the cost and the chips were undercooked. Overall inedible, I attempted to eat but really wasn’t enjoying it at all. Will be reluctant to return.

First, I visit both store lications (Pentwny and Whitchurch) and there is a disparity in the quality and service between the two. Starting with Whitchurch: The service isnt great. I'be been in several times and there have been large numbers of people waiting for an order, yet you'll see staff wandering around aimlessly or chatting instead of serving or preparing. They dont prioritise grab and go orders, so there is often a long wait for simple orders simply because the 5 people ahead are waiting for fish to be cooked. (I once was asked to wait 20 minutes after ordering a single pie that was on shelf ready to go...?) The food quality is typically good but again theres a disparity between locations, with the chips here being lovely but battered products missing the mark (over or under cooking). Pentwyn: Service is better but again, if you are in a queue, even simple orders will have you waiting. The staff are however always active and friendly. I prefer the side orders and fish from this location, always done perfectly. The chips are a bit hit and miss though. I've had several experiences whereby the chips are undercooked. But, overal the food and service are good.

So DISHONEST! Every Tuesday, there is always chicken promotion - 9 pieces for £9.99, and each time the server will ask whether it is ok they switch some of the pieces to chicken strips which is smaller. In other words, they will still charge me £9.99 for 5 fried chicken and 4 small chicken strips. They will come up with all the excuse like it will take longer to cook the fried chicken.. we need to wait longer blah blah. Same excuses every week. They even charge £10 instead of £9.99 as displayed.

I recently visited Washington machines outside the Chip shop and was quite disappointed by what I witnessed. While waiting outside, I saw a staff members taking a smoke break right outside the building. What concerned me most was that they were wearing their kitchen aprons and uniforms during this activity. This is not only off-putting but also breaches basic hygiene regulations. Wearing kitchen attire while smoking and outside the kitchen area is simply unacceptable, as it raises concerns about the cleanliness and safety of the food being prepared. I hope the management takes immediate action to address this issue and ensures a higher standard of hygiene in the future. Until then, I'm hesitant to buy from here!
