Franco's Fish Shop Limited in Bridgend

I paid 5 £ for a microwave cheese burger Ridiculous

Excellent and freshly cooked if anything, was too many chips fishbwas perfect.

Such a shame that the door advertises they close at 8pm during the week but it turns out it’s 7pm.

Had a takeaway. Food was all cold. No salt and vinegar on food and battered sausages weren’t good at all.

Delicious fish + chips + the rissole was perfect. The kids loved the fruity curry sauce + the portions were huge ...highly recommend going here

Nice chips, good service and value

Consistently good freshly cooked food with generous portions

So it’s treat time we were recommended to this place and quite frankly it was stunning. The fish was perfectly cooked the batter was light And extremely tasty. Love the chips and the curry was stunning! So overall very nice meal indeed reasonably priced considering everything is gone lately. The young lad who served us was very polite and friendly. This place is definitely a win-win for all the family.

Not suitable for vegetarians, cross contamination of surfaces & utensils!

Ooooh this was rather nice. I do like fish and chips but never seem to have it because it’s always too expensive however this place was not too bad and the fish and chips was stunning really thick plenty of fish and lightly battered perfect

Best fried fish in Porthcawl, great portion, with light batter coating.

Food excellent and service staff very friendly

Tasty, well-cooked food with generous portion sizes. There's indoor seating if you prefer not to take away. However, parking is very limited. The curry sauce and gravy taste like they might be store-bought.

Delicious food, outstanding service and fantastic staff!

Best pie and chips I've had in ages. I love their curry sauce... I wished they delivered to Birmingham

Good fish and chips but be aware very large portions

Portions are huge! Excellent value for money

Absolutely banging cod and chips..freshly prepared (unlike a competitor's claim to be porthcawls finest..it certainly isnt) beautiful piece of thick meaty moist skinless cod,lightly battered with gorgeous chips.This really has to be the best in Porthcawl and for under a tenner...and the restaurant is spotless..lovely friendly staff unlike another chippy mentioned here who are both rude and obnoxious.Visit Francos you really won't be disappointed.

Wow what a difference a year makes,won't be going back and we've gone here for the last few years.

Just as good as Roma gorsienon.

Chips were very nice, but unfortunately we had to wait what seemed like a very long time for them, the girls serving were lovely but had to remind one that we would like to have salt and vinegar, prices seemed a little high, that's probably because of the location

I only had a slush from here recently and other stuff agesss ago so I can't really remember anything

Great quality food and friendly helpful staff. Stopped in with family and friends. Really enjoyed the good, very good value and quality.

Unfortunately, they don't cater for allergies and cook the fish in the same oil as the chips very disappointing for this day and age with allergies

Not a bad chippy but been to better.

Great food and service was fab! Well done 👏

We were down just for the weekend popped into this place and very pleasantly surprised how clean bright and nice it was.The member of staff that took our order was very pleasant indeed.We both took our takeaway back to the Trecco Bay caravan park and we very much enjoyed our meal so well done.We will definitely visit again next time we book a weekend break down here keep on doing what you do so well Team Franco's.

Young girl was having trouble with the till, but couldn't apologise enough. She was very polite and a credit to the shop. The food itself was very good, and the only 'negative' was that the portion of chips was too big!!

Great service very nice staff, but busy so chips were slightly underdone for my liking. Best gravy I've ever had in a chippy

Food excellent Service very good really enjoyed my time there

Amazing Fish and Chips , curry sauce was best ever, don't do curry sauce like that back home.

Went to Franco’s today for Mother’s Day, what an absolute circus ! Went to the seating area and few available tables were still full of dirty plates and cups etc so we moved the dirty plates out selves. Went to the counter to order, young lad took our order but didn’t convince me that he took any notice of what I ordered. Anyway 30 minutes later we were still waiting for our food, I asked the lad what was going on and he said 5 minutes, the dirty plates were still on the other tables at this point. 5 minutes later he brought 2 of our 3 meals but no curry or mushy peas, another 5 minutes goes by and still no 3rd meal or curry etc so we went to the counter to complain, 2 curry’s arrived they were like mud consistency .. still no peas, chased the peas up they brought 2 pots over which were cold and dish was covered in spilled peas so didn’t want to pick it up. My wife’s chips were covered in black burnt stuff, really unpleasant to look at. Other guests arrived who cleared the dirty plates off the tables they wanted to use … think we will go to Beales next time

Food was cold the time it took too get to the table and so was the place we seated the hole place needs a clean I could skate on the floor was so slippery and the toilet was even more dangerous the staff are jest going through the baer not going there again come on it's a holiday town you need people in there you gowing to drive them away

Ate in, ordered a kids meal and a burger then was told theres no ketchup, ordered cup of tea to be told no milk, cutlery dirty, empty vinegar pot at the table and greasy salt cellar plus table was sticky.. All in all quite a disappointing visit

Good food, fish is always tasty and batter crispy. Always manage to get a table to eat inside. Don't know why people queue for beales when this is across the road

A little to loud for me, but that is a good thing as they are always very busy. Fish was the nicest I've had in porthcawl in a long time, and potions are very generous. Would definitely go there again

Great meal deals for kids Good size , would be ok for an adult.

Fab food and value for money. Proper home made chips

We ate in. F&Cs with curry sauce. The curry sauce was quite strong, which I liked, but my wife didn't. The fish was proper tasty with light fluffy batter. The chips were perfect. All served piping hot. Well worth the walk from Trecco Bay holiday park.

Consistently good, service, price and quality

Lovely food everytime, best chippy in Porthcawl

Really great choice for chips in Porthcawl! Attentive staff and amazing coffee too :). Will be back.

Food was good although sausage in batter was cold, very expensive for what it is,

Fantastic place the cleanest chippy I've ever stepped foot in The food and curry was the cherry on the top it was filling and not ar all greasy and the fish was moist 👌👌

First time calling, and the last! Judging by the reviews today must of been a bad day...ordered pie,chips! The chips came cold and looked undercooked! Never tasted chips so dry and flavourless! The pie had no flavor..it was like earing dry cardboard with gravy! Chips shop chips are meant to be abit greasy..these chips looked like they'd been left out in the air for hours!

Making a 20-minute detour because of all the great reviews, I arrived and was left waiting for my order to be taken over five minutes, although I was first in line, standing at the counter and by one of the tills. It was a busy Saturday evening, but there was no welcome or acknowledgement; the four young staff did the online orders in front of me as if I wasn't there. Eventually, I asked if I should order online, and one of the staff looked over and mumbled something about having to do another order. When my order was finally taken (two large pieces of cod and one portion of small chips), it needed to be corrected, and I repeated the order, took my order number and waited for a very long time while other similar orders (made after mine) came and went. After a further 15 minutes (understandable at busy times), I returned to the counter to enquire about mine and was told it would be a few more minutes, and it was, but the order was wrong and had been prepared as two fish and two chips. A simple mistake and easily corrected. I asked for the chips to be removed and a refund, which was done with one of the staff members complaining about ‘why’ it was wrong and cutting her eye. I took my refund and order, and my wife and I ate by the seafront. The fish was disappointing, tasting very old, looking discoloured and with a slimy texture. It was uneatable. After all the hassle of the order, I couldn't bring myself to make the 10-minute journey back for a refund and ate the perfect chips. Overall, the experience could have been better, and I won't be returning the next time we're in the area.

I paid £23 for a large COD and chips, a fish cake and chips, a side of curry sauce and also two 500ml bottles of Diet Coke. The price seemed very reasonable for such large portions. Me and my partner were very full afterwards. The food was very tasty. The chips were large and chunky and golden brown with a nice soft fluffy inside. The COD was also delicious. The inside has had a revamp since being taken over by new owners. Overall we had a good experience and will definitely be paying another visit in the future.

Food took over 20 minutes toilets were dirty toilet roll on ceiling wet and dirty floor toilet seat broken and stunk of pee

Cant thank the staff enough tonight for their support 16/9/23' grandson petriefied off the flying daddy long legs spider's' we went in' sat diwn to eat' 3-4 in shop flying around' sat in to eat' he had a melt down' he suffers with autisum' one shop lady went round shop killing em' and the other couple of ladies transfered our food to take out carton's so we could leave without causing my grandson any more unnecessary stress' again thank u'

Had cod and chips,cod was cooked with skin on,most chippy cod is skinless its only haddock were they leave skin on.the batter was very tough.

Had lovely fish and chips in Francos on Saturday 9th September the food was beautiful the fish was cooked perfectly and the chips were lovely too

Pleasant staff Fast and efficient Good food,generous portions

Fab friendly service, spotlessly clean, best chippy by far in Porthcawl.

Clean, good service and friendly staff. I don't eat out often but £13.55 seems a bit steep

Did my research based on Google reviews and it turns out the reviews were right! Great fish & chips here. Quick service, perfectly cooked fish, great chips - definitely recommend .

Had cod & chips. Freshly prepared. Absolutely lovely.

Stunning food always fresh good portions freindly staff spotlessly clean can't fault anything never go anywhere else

The best of the area both in door and take away. Great food and service.

The service and staff were excellent 👌

Definitely up to the mark every time. Well done Franco's.

Great service .Great food. Go and check it out

Lover grub excellent staff 100% recommended.. Larger portions when dining in . Ye great place .

Omg what stunning fish and chips Will definitely be back Batter was perfect not thick it was amazing Chips were perfect can't recommend this place enough This was an oap fish and chips

Usually really nice thtoughtout winter season, however young counter staff girls couldnt cope with being busy, nice weather...trying to rush but clumsy dropping food and messy..then not offering forks or napkins to customers after a long wait for food...

Lovely fish and chip shop,great size meals,lovely food great staff

Fish, chips and battered sausage were all very tasty!staff very pleasant and efficient!

It has to be 5 stars after having food twice at a nearby Fish and chip shop that starts with “B” and having to throw it away as it was saturated with salt. I called in to Franco’s Fish bar you don’t have to que outside. The fish was cooked to order and it was fresh. The chips were cooked perfectly and you can taste the difference at this plaice ! Curry sauce was good and Ice cold drinks ! Been several times since the standard is always perfect.

Best Fish & Chip shop in Porthcawl! Fish is always fresh and the batter is beautiful x Staff are friendly and go the extra mile.

Lovely food with quick service.

got attitude from the employees

Fantastic food, great value for your money! Would highly recommend it!! 👍

Amazing fish and chips, the staff go above and beyond to give you a great customer experience, well worth the visit and reasonable prices too .

One of the best chippys in porthcawl

Quick service, lovely food just a tad too much oil.

Be very careful of this chippie if they don't like you they spit on your food

Just had cod and chips. Not impressed seemed like chip were some old some fresh. Fish very watery like it had been cooked from frozen. Very disappointed as looked good in tray.

Avoid this fish and chips shop, staff are rude, chips are tiny and sharp, battered fish is dripping with water, and still has skin on fish. Veggie burgers were frozen still inside

Absolutely delicious fish & chips today, would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting Porthcawl. The fish was cooked fresh for us, the batter was light and crispy and the chips were fluffy on the inside. Served in a box, a decent size portion and easy to eat on a bench or beach.

Mum fell in love with a certain chef

Good food I would highly recommend

Great breakfast, great prices and great service. What more can you ask for?

The chip a bit flourie but nice

Quality Quantity Quickness Has all 3.. wonderful chippy

Superb food and good size portions.

Took our grandchildren here had a nice meal glad they cater for children like the usual fish fingers and chips.

The best fish and chips. Staff very friendly.

Best battered fish I've ever had. Massive portion.

Food was cooked fresh, not greasy and very tasty. Restaurant very clean and so where the toilets. Staff very friendly and attentive. Would highly reccommend and not hesitate to visit here again when next in the area.

I may not be the no1 fan of Fish n Chips in general but this place has the best employees out there. I forgot my sunglasses at the shop and I was already on my way back to London when I realised! A lovely employee from Franco's Fish Shop posted my sunglasses back to London in a lovely Fish n Chips packet - Thank you so much!!

Nice food, cooked fresh. Clean and pleasant, friendly staff. Prices are a little high is the only drawback.

Best fish and chip shop in South Wales, go on, try it, you will not be disappointed.

best chip shop in Porthcawl by far, forget the queues elsewhere this is the best kept secret

Every time I go to Porthcawl, I have to eat here, great food, friendly staff

Amazing food and reasonable prices! The staff couldn't have been more helpful or attentive! Definitely 5 star and will return.

Great fish and chips. A bit pricey but worth it!

It was our first visit following a recommendation and I have to say we were not disappointed, the food was first class, along with the courteous service from the staff. The restaurant is clean and well presented. We will return on next visit to Porthcawl.

Fantastic Fish and Chips. Was so pleased my research paid off before visiting Porthcawl. Portions were a good size, wasn’t greasy and was very reasonably priced. Plus the plus was spotless.

Nice meal at a decent price - too often chip shops with restaurants give tiny portions at inflated prices, but here it was only a little more than you would expect to pay for a takeaway and was good portion size

Perfect fish, staff very friendly 100% recommend

Good speedy service and tasty food
