Went in tonight for 2x mini cod, 2x large chips and a Fruity curry sauce. Costing me £25.20! The young girl serving was RUDE saying “you know what I cant even be bothered” Fish and chips looked as though theyd been sat in the range for quite a while! Music blaring around the whole shop. And understandably, I went in at 9.15, after working a full shift in a chip shop myself, so i do sympathise - To a degree. I understand that they were unable to cook, and it was simply what was remaining. It simply would have been nice to have been treated with better customer service rather than miserable staff with their phones in their back pockets looking unenthusiastic and as though they wished they were elsewhere. VERY disappointed. Food was salty, it was borderline inedible. Will not be back.

Expensive for what you get. Bought 2 cod, lathe chips and curry sauce. Everything was cold and the fish had clearly been sat for 30+ minutes. It's wrong that they charge so much for food that needs to be microwaved to be enjoyable.

Had 2 large cod with chips ,the fish must have been kept warm for ages as the batter and the fish was baked hard , could not eat 75% of it , it's a shame as Irene's is usually good.

Totally disappointed. Went here few weeks ago and lovely fish. Went Saturday at about 3pm and they were putting all fresh fish in the heater. Had a small cod and by the time I got home about 4 mins later, the paper was soaking and see through with the amount of oil leaking through. Fish was horrendous and just full of oil. Had to bin half of it

The portion of chips in the tray was woefully inadequate. The sausage in batter was inedible...honestly you should be doing be doing better than this. I have been eating chips from here for years and I am so disappointed. However the piece of extreme resistance was the lumpy gravy...check it out for yourself. Please do better.

Prices have gone up which is expected. However when the price of haddock is more than the cod but half the size I think that needs rethinking. Overall great quality food as always and the service always great.

Went here at lunchtime 12pm. The young lady behind the counter (with red & blonde hair) was excellent. Smiled when I walked in and said hello to me. Was able to answer my question about the curry sauce, which allowed me to make the right choice. The pricing is great for the portion size. You could even charge a little bit more. Definitely recommend this place to anyone to try.

Complete load of rubbish served Visited here last night after a busy stressful week hopping for a quick and easy meal, as stated it was a load of rubbish served. My husband wanted chicken curry off the bone more like chicken skin and chips, staff was also disgustingly rude and did not want to help as they could see I was stressed with a big order for my family. We then proceeded to ring up and tell them about the problems as the chicken wasn’t the only one as our pie wasn’t cooked and only had a spoonful of chips not enough to go between us all as she knew, they said to come down the next day to resolve this problem and, wasted my time again as they just turned us away will never receive food from here again food and service was disgusting with a side rude members off staff.

as a regular customer refused service for being exempt from wearing facemask, when I explained that I was exempt I was questioned over this. Staff then requested a show proof, this has made me feel anxious that I needed to prove why I wasn't wearing a mask.Avoid buying any food from here, there are better, shops in barry to go.

Absolutely love this place! Chips fresh & crispy every time and the portions are generous. Yes it's a little pricy when you compare it to fish & chip shops away from the seaside when you're visiting but you're paying for quality. A big win is definitely the fish bites, they're more like mini fish and come in 3 or 5 portions!

Very hit and miss at the moment. There was a time it was very consistent but countless times i find myself giving in and going back despite having said after previous meals that's my last time. I find the batter on the fish is usually not quite done not everytime but it is a problem. The main problem is portioning honestly some times I've order 2 large bags between 2 of us just to be sure and still always tiny to the point where my girlfriend even says and tbh that is a rare occasion. I hate to moan over the ammount of chips infront of other customers just makes you look petty but honestly for this reason I probably wont be coming back anymore if has happened so many times I just cant be bothered to chance it. I think it's because they have alot of young staff coming and going and tbh without sounding rude some seem pretty clueless.

Waited almost 45 minutes for my "fast food", Honestly mcdonalds how can you let a restaurant be like the one in barry..... food always takes way too long. When you receive it the staff member looks and sounds like they want off the planet, then when eating it, It resembles eating a board of MDF from B&Q. Charging silly money for food on par if not worse than a £1.39 rustlers burger...
