Excellent fish and chips, good value for the portions (way bigger than our local London ones). Staff were super friendly and even offered a top tip for parking the next day at the market.

Excellent takeaway chips, not at all greasy, freshly cooked and hot. The medium size portion (£4) was enough for two of us (not young). Good service with a reasonable price.

Dreadful quality, cold, greasy and tasted dreadful. Fish cake had no fish in it, chips scratty and felt like leftovers. Had tried to get a meal the night before they but didn’t bother opening. Waste of time and money. Even the dogs turned their nose up at it

Chips tasted like they were reheated, soggy and powdery potato. Home made burgers clearly weren't, stale buns, sad salad. Friendly staff.

On my first visit to this chip shop I found the service to be very slow. The chips weren’t great and the fish was poor. Not a good service either. However, I decided to give them another try today which was a Saturday. Their website said that they were open at 5pm on Saturdays. So I turned up at 5.15pm to find the shop in total darkness with signs on the door/window saying they were open at 5pm on Saturdays! That’s the last time I visit this chip shop!

One of the best places, locally for fish and chips, regularly stop there on Friday evenings on the way from Aberystwyth. Usually very quick to have it all ready when we walk in, especially the mozzarella sticks. Always very friendly.

Ordered a large portion of chips got home to discover half was inedible hard pieces of batter, scrapings or ends of chips, i wouldnt have minded paying more just to have a real portion of chips, lesson learnt go somewhere else.

Popped in at the weekend. Distinctly underwhelmed by the food - the chips were pale and undercooked and the haddock was very overcooked making it very tough. On the positive side portion sizes were relatively large, the prices very reasonable and the staff friendly.

Every year at festival time we buy a takeaway from here and every year we say ‘never again’ but, like having a baby we forget and go in again. The chips are absolutely disgusting and only fit for the bin. They are nasty, multi-fried specimens and the ‘buttered roll’ is a barely buttered, stale barmcake. I didn’t have the fish but my OH said it was fine and the pees were as you would expect. The customer service is excellent but they should fry fresh chips towards the evening.

Unbelievably slow service. Regularly waits in excess of 40 minutes even when only a few people in the queue. It should only take a minute or two to serve each person. Food quality varies. Some time excellent some time average. EDIT Based on owners comments : Each time i have visited the chips are ready and waiting and there is a whole stock of fish in the warmer, so to try and make out each order is freshly cooked is very disingenuous. Ive added a picture of last nights food. (July 2022)Disgusting. We wont be visiting again. Soggy batter chips that are black, Still have queues up the street a year later. No other chip chop is this slow to serve. Something is inherently wrong.

Living locally I visit this chip shop regularly. However it is fast going down hill. The service is frustratingly slow. The quality of food has gone down hill also. Fish is often soggy and full of oil. Last night was the final straw. The chips were black. The batter was vile. The experience topped of by the Tuting and moaning about customers still joining the queue outside the door after 8pm the closing time. Seems bizarre to be so reluctant to make hay while the sunshines. Such a shame as we’ve tried to support this business as much as we can. However with the 20 minute wait time it makes more sense to go to Kington instead which is hands down a much better fish and chip shop

We used the takeaway during a weekend stay in Hay. With restrictions in place, pre-booking necessary in most places and not wanting too much, this was an ideal option. We had a small wait due to a queue before placing our order under sensible precautions. Service was friendly and efficient and after a further few minutes wait we were served a very decent selection of fish, chips & pies which was much enjoyed on a nearby bench in a pleasant early July evening. The scampi was really nice.

Unfortunately wasnt a great experience ordered a small fish with medium chips, the fish batter was unbelievably oily, no crunch at all to the batter, just fell apart. Oil was all over the chips so made them very soggy and was given vinegar on my chips when only asked for salt but understand that sort of accident can easily happen.

The owner is back running the establishment . It shows. Our takeaway was amazing: * my cod - golden batter with a delicate crunch, fresh, flaky fish. NO skin or bones!! * chips totally fresh. * my son had the chicken bites. A great upgrade from the standard chicken nuggets. I can honestly say that the small portions are large. The standard portions are enormous. My cod was the size of a whale!!!! Great cheerful service from Terri

Absolutely terrible. On arrival we noticed how the hot counter was filled with food, all looking like they’d been cooked hours ago and yet we were the only customers in the shop at approximately 2pm. We decided to order 1x fish & chips and 1x sausage and chips. The chips were very pale in colour, so soggy that they were stuck together, warmish and clearly had been sitting there for quite a while. The sausage was nearly inedible, our daughter complained that it was very hard to chew and this again had clearly been cooked a while prior to our visit as it was dry. The fish was ok once it had been removed from the thick and soggy inside batter. Can honestly say it’s the worst chippy I’ve ever been to. We gave them the benefit of the doubt when we could see the chips being put in the tray but honestly, we should have cancelled our order and gone somewhere else. Don’t waste your money.
