Kilgetty Fish Bar in Pembrokeshire

Best fish & chips my husband & I have ever had over the last few years, would thoroughly recommend this chip shop in Kilgetty

Rude rude people!!, my gf’s parents have moved into the village and always support local businesses. It’s the second time her mum has been in and has really rude service.. last night again in front of queuing customers in an aggressive unnecessary way told ‘Did you not read the sign, we’re closed!’ We will never use again.

I had cod and chips, coming from Kent I found it great value, cooked fresh, tasted amazing and big portion. Just what was needed after a day walking. I will be back again :)

Beautiful fish but chips are quite bland even with salt and vinegar and it's quite expensive I know we have inflation but usually pay £7-£8 anywhere else but £10 is extortionate I think it's captive audience

*Updated Review* Chips are back to a great standard again. Lovely food. Good service

Have grabbed fish and chips here several times and always been okay. Convenient location. However on this occasion staff were very abrupt to the point of being rude, they looked unkempt and uninterested in serving. Food was okay but not as good as it has been previously. Have been told it's under new management - they have a lot to learn as they are falling well behind other fish & chip shops in the area.

Quick service, cash only. Parking not good..

Just ordered cod, chips and (fruity) - traditional chipshop curry sauce along with beef and onion pie and chips. Food was prompt, fresh and delicious. Would buy from here again

We had fish and chips, battered sausage and chips, roe and chips. All freshly cooked and delicious. Parking is a nightmare with double yellows everywhere but people seem to risk it (when was the last time you saw a traffic warden)

Fish bites were absolutely fab, really tasty, portion of chips were a great size

My partner had chicken and chips here it was good value and he really enjoyed it

Brilliant fish and chips tasty fresh well done recommend this fish shop to all

Portion of chips bought and cost £3 and not enough to feed a child. Shocking portion size. £3 anywhere else would have given enough for two adults.

Absolutely cracking fish and chip shop, best in the area defo recommend to try it, we had a couple errors in missing stuff but we did have a big order, had gf options

We decided to call into the Kilgetty fish and chip shop. We had a look on the menu. We placed the order with the guy at the till. We handed over the money to the guy at the till. There was no please or thank you from him. I ordered the homemade chicken curry half and half, rice and chips. My partner ordered the cod and large chips. We waited less than 10 minutes, which was OK. The guy gave us our food. We had to ask for a carrier bag, which was awkward and annoying. We then got back and had the food. My curry tasted nice but it was a bit too spicy. My partners chips were nice. The fish was bigger enough for 2 people. The batter of the fish was crispy. The fish was nice and flaky.

Very rude man at the till taking orders , made you feel you were nothing but hassle by ordering food with him , eventually said cash only , so walked out thankfully , customers certainly don’t get a welcome from him , Such a shame Kilgetty Fish and Chip shop used to be the best in the area with people regularly queuing down the steps to be served but sadly no more Couldn’t tell you about the food as I am glad to of given that rude man our money !!!!

The worst fish and chips I have ever had in my life. The chips were terrible and not edible. They were warm and dry. The batter on the fish was greasy hardly any fish only thick greasy batter. I would have been sick if I had eaten it. They don’t take credit cards only cash. The man serving was not very friendly. It was only fit for the bin. If we had not taken them back to the motor home to eat I would have gone back and asked for a refund 😡

Great food but the man behind the counter was very rude he really needs an attitude check as this is not good he makes you feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome

Great food all round ,hence quite busy

Have read precious reviews that haven't been good but we got Really good fish & chips with good sized portions but the man serving was a bit grumpy,

I'm from Leeds, where the best fish and chips are served! Visited Kilgetty for the first time in a while and was very pleased. Some other customers ordered immense portions of loaded chips with sausage, looked great if really hungry or working but not my type of food. The service was very chirpy and chatty no complaints. Although my food wasn't 'Leeds standard' because of the batter used in Wales, my fish was very good. Pure white, tasty and a decent portion at £8.50.I had this as a takeaway with bread cake as I'm not a chip fan. No complaints, really nice fish.

Quick and easy supper pickup, we were only ordering fish and chips for five family members. The food was OK but the fish was very heavily fried and the chips were only cooked, nothing like my memories of eating fish and chips for years now.

Was not that impressed.serving of chips very small

Stopped for chips on a Tuesday evening, the kebab shop was closed so had to go to the chippy. Haven't been for a while but things haven't changed. Prices continually on the rise, tick. Miserable atmosphere, tick. Chips lukewarm soggy & greasy, tick. Oh one thing has changed, there was no grease proof paper it the box so my car seat got messed up! Thanks for that, shan't bother again.

Greasy thick undercooked batter on the cod shame as the cod was OK. Grease running out of thr box greasy chips and dripping grease on the fish.

Long wait for poor greasy fish.More greasy batter than fish, The chips were a soggy heap. Very poor quality compared with other similar establishments in the area.

Fish was amazing but chips were a congealed lump, mushy, stuck together nothing crispy about them and many had a lot of black on them, first time I’ve ever left 80% of my chips un eaten and so did my partner. Staff could have been more polite too, no rude words just sharp in tone and unwelcoming plus cash only was an inconvenience. All in all, doubt visit again.

All I can say is, you'll have a very long wait for your food, and when it comes, it's not worth the wait.it was luc warm and full of grease 🤬🤬

Absolutely brilliant and cheap

Good place. There are friendly and helpfull people.

Incredibly rude staff and half our order was incorrect won’t be returning

A good selection of foods, not all fish and reasonable prices. Certainly worth a visit.

Chips have got thinner but still remain undercooked and greasy, it's like they don't want to turn the fryer up! Have often been unwell the following morning! Food needs to be cooked at the right temperature (especially chicken).Having a server that shoves the food at you tops it off. As a local I shall be looking elsewhere.

Only down problem we had We had no cash so had to pop to the co-op and get some, food was nice

Sausage was nice, chips awful!... The attitude on the 2 old men serving was disgusting, very rude. It wasn't just a off day ether as I returned the next day and was giving the same attitude again. Can't treat customers with respect and act like you enjoy your job, sell your business!!

Food is great here , but owner attitude towards staff is horrendous, not great for customers to see and not the first time witnessed here

Staff are very friendly and helpful 🙂, food is always piping hot and fresh.

Great service. Highly recommend. The food was good and fresh, but it felt like there could have been a bit more of it. There is a sit-down area to eat in looks lovely (didn't eat in).

the standards of this have really gone down we stay in kilgety two or three times a year call in because its handy not been very good but the last occasion was terrible the wife ordered cod pieces and paid stood there for over half an hour being ignored while other customers being served in the end having to ask for money back will not be returning

Lovely food always cooked fresh

Sadly, they don't follow their own opening times as when we went, 20 minutes before they were due to close, they were already closed!

A very popular and busy fish bar. Fish n chips is no longer a cheap meal but our cod and scampi were delicious.

Why are the chips so bad? Don’t think I had 1 proper chip Lots of tiny bits No chance of a chip buttie🤣

Great food, good idea to phone order ahead.

Pucker chips, best in the county. Lad at the counter went the little bit extra with the detail of what we wanted. Brilliant, would reccomend

Delicious fish and chips. Portion size are big. Great customer service!

Been there twice both times chips where disgusting

Not great. Batter very thick and partly undercooked. Fish ok. Service very poor. If you don’t enjoy working there go elsewhere miserable people.

I am local and have used this chippy as long as I can remember. It has apparently recently changed hands. Ever since the prices have been steadily increasing and are now on par with the top fish and chip shops in Tenby (which are far nicer). A couple of weeks ago, I had a piece of fish and it looked like a really nice piece of fish. Within 15minutes I fell unwell, and it wasn't the first time this has happened with fish from here either. Seeing the reviews about undercooked chicken has made me even more concerned. As for the chips they're either anemic looking or hard. I will say fishbites are far better value than a piece of fish. It costs less and you get more fish. I would go into Tenby instead but it is such a chore to get in there at this time of year I tend to avoid the place. This evening I asked for chips and curry sauce. The curry sauce is now put into a much smaller tub. I queried this and they admitted the tub was smaller. I stated 'your prices are going up and up but your portions are getting smaller' the response I got was 'I know.' I have, on other occasions witnessed people returning their food either for the quality, or portion sizes for the price. Not something I ever witnessed until recently. I am also yet to meet a fellow local person who recommends this place. It is being kept going by tourists which is probably why the prices have gone up. This wouldn't be the first place in the area to increase prices to profit off the tourists whilst showing no consideration to the locals who the rely on in Winter. They charge £6.30 for chips, cheese and gravy which is extortionate! You can get loaded fries, made with all fresh local ingredients, huge portions for not much more up the road!

Best fish and chios we have had in a while. Up there with the best.

Sadly, poor quality chips (mix of over and undercooked, plus very bland), staff not friendly.

Busy, friendly place. Cash only.

I'm actually still in shock as to how abysmal my experience was in this establishment!!! Firstly the wait!! 45 minutes for 4 portions of chips and 1 curry sauce. We saw people come n and order and get served whilst we were waiting. We approached them several times. Eventually we got our very basic order, just as I was about to ask for my money back and leave empty handed...how I wish I did!! The food...disgusting chips in a sweaty cardboard box (what's wrong with paper??) all we could smell was damp cardboard, we put them onto plates and what a sorry sight they were. Tasteless, bendy chips. It really must depend on the constant new customer base with all the holidaymakers because i fail to see how it would garner any return custom, and certainly not from local people is my guess. Another to avoid, such a shame. No competition ensures it making money albeit from zero customer service and awful food offerings.

Been here previously and it was hood so went back beautiful food lovely crispy batter. 😋 friendly staff we went earlier in the night so kids wasn't eating too late food was cooked fresh and was lovely will certainly be back every time we are staying in the area

Fabulous pie& chips meal. Clean shop. Friendly staff.

Omg I have never been served by such a rude miserable man. I had battered sausage and chips, it was ok, the chips was not as fresh as I would of liked.

Fish excellent. Chips not so. But you are buying the fish.

Very generous portions of chips which is a shame as they were possibly the worst chips we'd ever tried to eat!! Most of them ended in the food bin. Much better to take a drive into Tenby for your chips where there is competition & probably a much higher standard of product.

Overpriced rude counter staff and stodgy chips

Very busy place but we didn't have to wait long and the food was delicious.

Chips were OK, nothing special. Fish was a bit soggy underneath, could have done with a few more minutes. But better than some.

The popularity of this place is baffling. I can only conclude that it is because:- It's the only chippy nearby, People have a low acceptance level, People are desperate and hungry. We called in for two bags of chips and sausage in batter. The portion size was meagre, and were the worse I have ever encountered They were anaemic, hard and beared little resemblance to any potato they may have come from. THE FIRST ZERO OUT OF TEN I HAVE EVER SCORED. The sausage was a challenge to bite through. I do not see how anyone could either produce such sub standard chips or have the audacity to sell them. But they clearly get away with it. I would rather go hungry than visit this place again. If it wasn't for the fact we took them back to the caravan, I would have returned them and asked for my money back!

We arrived on a Saturday night after a long drive and set up with our caravan. The staff were nice and friendly and the menu was the right size for a fish and chip shop. I seemed to be waiting a while, as the ordering system and waiting line are haphazard; a simple numbering system would help. That being said, the cook looked at me and asked what I was waiting for as he thought I'd been there a little too long too, and luckily, he was just boxing up my order. The fish and chips were very good. Just the right amount of grease! 👌

Gone down hill since our last visit.

Chips were really good but had to wait over half hour for just one bag of chips. Surely the sensible approach would be to complete quick/simple orders as soon as you can instead of making them wait for large orders to be put together?

It's a small chippy in a little village. Don't expect anything fancy but we've eaten from there twice and it we enjoyed it. They cook to order, so you may have to wait when it's busy, but both times we had a large order for 10 people and they got it right. The fish was good. We'd definitely take away from there again.

We regularly get treats from here. Today sadly will be our last time. We ordered fish bites and 2 jumbo sausages to be wrapped separately from the chips. Inside the fish bites box we discovered 2 battered sausages. (The jumbo sausages were wrapped separately) We need to be so cautious of cross contamination as I have a family member with a severe peanut allergy. I was assured that everything is cooked in palm oil. Is it normal/right to cook fish and sausages together? Many people eat fish but not sausages. I no longer have faith with your allergen policy.

Now we all know that there are staff shortages, but the shop had an absolute chaotic system - or rather no system at all. The girl served customer after customer despite the orders not being fulfilled. No numbers were given so the orders for the gathering crowd were called out. For a cash only food outlet, they even ran out of change! The food itself was so so. 50p for a tiny sachet of cheap and nasty ketchup. Not impressed.

Not impressed with attitude of staff member serving very rude and abrupt...chips were very dry and colourless...and be warned...CASH ONLY...but you only find out when you get to the till....

Having a Cafe for many years including frying Chips. I was in area so I thought I would purchase a bag of chips at midday. Friendly service. Clean environment. Sadly the Chips did not meet those highs. As many Chip Shops now sell bland plain whitish in colour Chips of a dry texture. These were the same. What happened to golden brown similar to our favorite Roast Potatoes. We sold brown in colour Chips. We're very popular.

I’m usually a respectful guy that keeps themselves to themselves and never complains about anything. However, on this rare occasion something had to be said. After a long day at the beach, our family were looking for some nice chips to finish a good day in the sun. COMPLETELY RUINED THE DAY. Everyone’s chips were freezing cold, chips not cooked, I suspect they were oven chips, gravy freezing and lumpy and the cheese, well I say cheese, I think it was plastic. Sent the chips back they came back freezing. On the third time I received the chips they were still not warm. I gave up in the end and disposed the chips in the bin were they belong. I strongly recommend to keep away, quite frankly the worst meal I’ve had outside my home.

Quite possibly the worst chippy I’ve ever had, we went there as a family of 7 on the way home from a lovely day out, we usually go to this chip chop but we won’t be returning after our experience. The chips came out freezing cold and we had to ask them to refry them which took over 15 minutes and they didn’t seem impressed. The curry sauce was cold gloop, the chicken balls were also supposed to come with a curry sauce and it took 3 people to ask for it before it came out and it was absolutely freezing cold and in one big lump , had to ask for it to be reheated but at this point I had just given up and wanted to get home. I’m not usually one to moan about food , but this standard was absolutely appalling, they couldn’t even send out cooked hot chips !!

This is the worst fish and chips ever, chips were freezing, we had to send them back 3 times to warm up and still not great. Stay away… had to ask 4 times for curry sauce for our chips and when arrived was freezing. Very disappointing.

Delicious fresh food, but just be prepared for a little wait while they cook it, we waited around 15-20 minutes, but definitely worth the wait.

Best fish and chip shop I've been in for a long time

Disappointing, was expecting everything to be better, 9.50 for chicken curry and chips, only found 5 or six slivers of meat! Very tight!

Great value - and great chips - staff always pleasant. Thanks

Called in today Easter Monday service was friendly and the chips were bloody lovely will definitely pop in again when in the area.

The food is amazing. But the woman who was cooking the chips and fish ect was so rude. Yes she was probably run off her feet. Sha had haf a really busy shift. But this is her job and we as customers dont want to hear her moaning about having to cook more chips. Talking to staff really rudely. About what was ordered and what she didnt have left. Was reslly rude to public walking through the door wanting to order food only to be told in a loud agresive way 'we are closed' there is a way to talk to customers and that wasnt the way. I feel sorry for the ones behind the counter too. I would not be there if she talked to me like that. We have been a few times and staff have always been friendly and polite. Maybe a people skills class would help. Dont know if i would go back it was quite embarrassing to wait and see that. What a shame as i said earlier food is amazing.

Excellent chippy 👍 good value for money and the chips were tasty!

It's Always good when you visit somewhere new, when there a queue almost out of the door fresh food pretty much cooked to order

Hi all.. Myself, my partner and our three children spent the day at folly farm.. Just five minutes down the road from folly farm we stopped at kilgetty fish bar.. This place provided plenty of room to dine in and eat.. We were made very welcome and brilliant customer service.. The food was absolutely delicious and plenty of it aswell.. The kids said this is the nicest chippy they've ever tasted.. We Will definitely stop by here again when passing.. Presentation of the staff and the place itself was immaculate.. I would highly recommend this place.

Very friendly staff at the fish bar. We sat in for our fish and chip supper which was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble they were exceptional in making us feel welcome. Lovely setting to have a meal, which was freshly cooked.

Ordered chips, sausage and gravy and a chicken wrap which cost £9.80. Service was good with a slight wait due to being busy. Food was lovely and I would definitely have it from here again.

Fish was fresh, didn't have to wait long.

Lovely food at a good price. Just had to wait a while, but everything was hot and tasty

Always good food at reasonable prices .nice staff

Awful place!!! No Pizzas yet advertised, young lad doing his best taking orders but shouted at regularly by man cooking in full view of customers. Chips dry and old , donor meat greasy and almost inedible big order but had to carry to car in rain as no bag offered . Man serving food extremely slow and no manners . Avoid very disappointed .

Reasonable quality but very expensive

Tasty, well cooked fish and chips. Friendly, helpful service

Didn't enjoy the food we had - fish and chips and sausages. To be fair the sausages were OK, but the chips were pale, soggy and soft. The fish batter was dark, quite hard and quite thick. This is a very busy fish and chip shop, I don't know of any other nearby. Ordering is a little chaotic as it always seems busy. When you arrive it will appear that there are lots of people waiting but no idea who is queuing to be served and who is waiting for their order. Just go straight up to the counter is the best thing to do if there is no obvious queue. Menu seems large but on arrival all that was ready was fish, sausages, fish bites. Limited parking outside but parking at the Coop is only 5 minutes away. Think I'll go further to find another chippie next time.

Four stars because they only take cash..

We were on holiday near Kilgetty and fancied fish and chips since our local chippie (in a seaside holiday town) is, shall we say, not that good. The portions from here were a good size but my fish had too much batter on it and was overcooked so there was not much fish flavour left; my wife said hers was OK. The chips were OK, thank goodness, but be warned the portions are very large indeed. We had a small portion between us and that was more than enough. We found the prices to be very much higher than at home – they must have wealthier visitors than our town does!

The food and staff are all great .until my family and i was looking forward to the special curry on thurs .it was very tastey except for the lack of chicken .so it was very overpriced .we wont be having this again .but all other food is amazing cheers paul.

Great chips with friendly staff, quick service.

Nice fish chips large portion and not that expensive.

We're only holidaying in the area so based on our one time visit ..... SUPERB. Chip portion would easily have served 2 people so will form part of tomorrow's fry up. Fish was excellent, all cooked to order.

Good food... Warning, portions are huge!

Good food, plenty of choice and friendly.
