Lakeside Fish Bar in Torfaen

Good service, good food, order fish on arrival though as it's cooked to order.

Second and last time I will attend. Don't get me wrong this is just like most other establishments like this. Overcharge and under-deliver. I could stomach that; its the attitude that comes from the staff that makes every mouthful taste like sawdust. Or maybe it just tastes of sawdust and the staff's attitude is the rotten cherry on top. Who knows...

Good chippy, cod is always cooked fresh and very good, you have to wait but it is worth it.

Excellent chip shop always nice and friendly staff food is very good cheese chip banging 😋

Exceptional fish and chips every time ,Staff are amazing too 😁

Best fish & chips in Cwmbran By far

Lovely fish and chips always. Some of the staff are miserable and not friendly though. Which is off putting makes you feel uncomfortable in there.

Staff were not friendly and inviting,Chips were black and warm and a very small portion,Saugage was nice and chicken and mushroom pie was lovely,I do not recommend.

If you want chips order them a day in advance.

Plenty of chips cooked like they should be worth a visit

The food was very good(fish&chips)😋

Avoid if possible only serve one person at a time and will not even take the order of the next person until that person has finished and had thier order handed to them awful service. Do not ever try going there just as they are closing either as you will be screamed at CLOSED!!!!!!!

One of the best places I've been to for taste in food and friendly staff well worth coming from Newport thank you to all work there 😊

Friendly helpful staff, decent food at reasonable prices, happily use them again.

Had three brilliant fish and chips. Fish freshly cooked chips yery good. Not cheep but fish is expensive. Will return . Not really by a lake but what ever..

Staff are friendly and helpful The chips are delicious Nice competitive menu Value for money

Lovely traditional Chippy... Friendly staff and nice freshly prepared food..

Great traditional fish and chip shop with excellent staff, friendly and efficient. Definitely recommended

Stunning food. Service and help

The smell of the cooking the is like the taste fantastic beautiful every time 😋

Always good chips , good value ,staff friendly

Nice fish and chips but very dirty floor on the side the cook, with cooked food just lying in the floor. Very miserable staff

Great service and great food good atmosphere nice friendly staff

Best chippy in Cwmbran bar non!

Excellent fish and chips cooked to order. Parking right outside.

Chips were greasy.. They didn't look nice either. Not sure if they been standing around. I called in at 1.45pm and was the only person in there. Maybe the locals knew something I didnt

The chips was a hit and we will be back to try the fish next

We come all the way from Blackwood speaks for itself

Gob smacked with there prices! I know everyone is putting there prices up but £5.3o oddfor a cheese beans and chips is ridiculous.. will take a pack lunch to the park next time😅

We had fish chips curry sauce . Tasted lovely and staff Real friendly I rang order through so much quicker We will definitely use again

Decent food, a little pricier than I'd like. Slow service, even when there seems to be plenty of staff.

Very slow service and soggy chips.

Decent chippy but like most of them getting a bit pricey of late, usually a bit of a queue

We popped here yesterday for the first time. The staff were so lovely and efficient. The long queue said it all, yet the wait was not long thanks to the excellent staff. All our meals were freshly cooked and piping hot by the time we got them home. All fish is cooked to order and started while you queue if you ask. Of course things are expensive now as their oil and heating bills have doubled. But worth it for such great quality.

Really appreciated the local Lakeside fish and chip shop. Our kids played outside and the friendly staff even brought it out to us. Nice selection of side orders and sauces too 😋 They will be our regular treat.

Very nice, good portion size. Getting expensive but isn't everything 🙃 will be back and recommended

Fish is always cooked fresh to order

Food is really nice, especially love the chicken, service always seems to be super slow though

One of the best chippy in Cwmbran and staff are all nice and polite

Had fish and chips Friday 29th April ..must say it was the best fish we have had from there .. girls are lovely, always rushed off their feet, but always smiling and polite to the customers 😄

Chips soggy! Sausage and batter greasy, no taste. The girl serving should be sacked as is not bothered The walls have tiles missing. How can a chip shop be so bad?

Pies hot and crisp not soggy as they should be, but the chips very poor a lot of eye's in them they would have much better rating if not for that.

My husband came home with 2 large curry sauce and chips and a jumbo sausage and batter £11.75!! That's absolutely ridiculous, even worse was the chips were so anaemic, swimming in gravy that you couldn't even pick out a chip, a whole mushy mess. My poor husband got the wrath at how poor this meal was Chips and gravy straight in the bin and replaced by frozen chips, how to trigger a bad mood when your looking forward to a very rare takeaway from the chippy. Pontnewydd chippy so much better.

Staff lovely but very over priced food was lovely

On arrival greeted with nice friendly staff Fish & chips cooked fresh & tasted amazing

Love the food here always go there for my fish and chips, fish well cooked chips ok. Always liked Pages but find these are better.

Visited here today and staff weren't wearing masks or face shields so walked straight out and went somewhere else where they don't put people's health at risk.

Nearly all of the chips were bad and inedible. Unfortunately, no staff or customers were social distancing.

Always good fish and chips but runs out of curry too early

Friendly staff, covid 19 restrictions in place, food really good and hot and nice portion sizes

Really good food, very clean, good covid rules would recommend

Love there sausage and batter. Potions are perfect.

Excellent food 😋and staff are very helpful great service 👍😀

Good service and good quality fish and chips

Chips were aweful hardly any fish in the cod in batter the shop was rather busy

Totally overcooked piece of Cod, if of course it was Cod as it was completely unrecognizable and showed no sign of ever experiencing life or moisture. Having peeled off the dry crumbly batter I discovered an even drier brown fish hiding amongst the spear like sharp brown objects sold as chips out of this establishment needless to say it went in the bin and we won't be returning unless we become struck down with Alzheimer's and manage to forget this evenings awful experience.

Il never visit and buy from lakeside chip shop the prices are crazy cheese chips and beans £6.95 chips aren’t clean cooked in dirty oil daylight robbery

Always lovely food and customer service

Great food cooked fresh fish. Friendly staff. Safe queuing

Humongous chips ...awesome staff ...love it

once again i turn up at your chip shop at 21.00hrs to which you state you are open til 22.00hrs and yes you are shut!!!!! what kind of setup are yo running here? this is not the 1st or 2nd time ths has happened!!! pleease peple stay awy!!!!

Best fish in cwmbran, cooked fresh and batter superb, unfortunately rang to place an order as on a lunch break and left a message to order fish to be cooked by a certain time and they told me they don't listen to their messages!! After queuing and waiting for fish to cook I wasted 20 minutes of my hour lunch. Couldn't fault fish and chips though but know not to leave a message next time

Very over priced first visit and bought fish n chips plus a jumbo sausage. I honestly think there was more cod in a fish finger than what they served to me. To add insult to injury there were a handful of bones in it plus they leave the skin on which I hate Jumbo sausage was so dry and felt had the texture of a pepperami without the taste. Wont be going there again. If you love your fish n chips go to the harbour just outside newport town centre great portions, lovely thick cod and much cheaper.

Timed it right,no real queue .good fish and chips.cant understand why chips cost so much though??????

Our first visit to a takeaway in months, pretty disappointed to have ordered and paid for 2x sausage and chips to get home and find we were short changed a sausage, gutted. Ok otherwise but won't rush back.

Nice food, nice people and it's my in local chippy located in a very nice area of Cwmbran. Not the cheapest, but still very reasonable. Usual choices you'd expect from a Chippy. It's always clean inside. My only slight gripe is that they don't seem to be able to keep up with the flow of chips sometimes, occasionally you'll have to stand idle in the queue waiting for chips to be cooked, which isn't a massive problem unless you're in a rush

The only fish and chip shop that i know of that don't sell the popular beefburger in batter or potatoe fritter shame on you Lakeside fish bar plus found them a bit expensive for some of there food i paid £2.10p for a small bag of chips and about half of them went in the bin due to being full of black eyes won't be going back again

Food was all cooked fresh, the fish was massive, lovely chips but way to many, all in all, the food was second to none, absolutely delicious!!

Food is soggy. Slow service and very overpriced.

Chips are overcooked and very small portions

What a poor amount of food paid £20 for three bags of chips and fish &chips and the bags of chips we're not big enough for a small child .gravy was tastless and salty inly used half small pot cos not enoufht chips definitely will not be returning ....... as you can see in pic a handful of chips is not what i expect when i pay for a bag .....

if your'e out and about and rely on this companys opening times to be fed! well you'll go hungry, twice my wife have turned up between 9.15 and 9.30 and the shop is shut, false advertising comes to mind, stay away.

Really great fish and chips, although parking at lunch time can be hard. The fish is also cooked to order so there is a 5-10 min wait which isn't great if you are in a rush.

Waited and waited and waited for chips when they arrived the it was standing room only queue was out the door, soggy oily pale worst chips I've had in the UK, the portion was pathetic I think the cooked chip's were to be spread between the whole queue unfortunately we were at the front they got binned not even my dog would eat the chips, The person behind the counter was overweight sweaty greasy hair bad attitude slamming the till shut yuck! didn't order anything else I'm glad if a chip shop can't even cook chips what hope has got? Would have given 0 stars if possible

Good quality and great value for price

Sausage and chips portion size very small expensive chip shop curry and chips not exactly nice tasting everyone left it! i will certainly not be a returning customer!

excellent food excellent service

Ridiculously small portions. Over cooked chips and very greasy.... if you are happy with these chips try pontnewydd chip shop it will knock your socks off...

Great fish and chips, although always running out of curry sauce.

On our way through we stopped at chip shop to get evening meal for the family to take out to caravan. The service was OK but prices were a bit expensive especially due to portion size. However when we drove to destination a few miles away we had discovered that nearly half our order wasn't in the bag. 😱

The chips had no taste to them at all and a bit soggy. I asked for a small portion as in other places this is enough for at least 3 people, not here, a very small portion, not worth the £2 odd. So asked for a large which was I think £3.30, way too expensive for the amount you get. The pie I asked for was very dry on top like it had been left in the warmer for hours. The chicken was very pale in colour and also dry. Wont be goin back anytime soon if ever. Will be going back to Pontnewydd chippy, a little more expensive but much much better quality!

Liked the food but didn't like the prices. Expensive chippy

No real complaints. It's all good really. Not soggy, not greasy. Reasonably priced etc. As a local it's sometimes a pain waiting because they run out of chips a lot and every other visit I have to wait a minute or five until chips are cooked. At least they're freshly cooked :-)

Over priced , tiny portions and incompetence from the staff , how this so called chip shop is still trading is unbelievable. I am all for supporting local bussiness but not when they are ripping you off ! Avoid at all costs !

Charged me for a corned beef pasty that was as hard as a brick and not edible.. And at a ridiculous price..

A bit expensive we thought when two of us had chips with curry sauce.

Staff are very polite and welcoming, the food is delicious, traditional and reasonably priced.

Great quality sausage in batter and chips. Batter crisp and tasty and sausage good quality. Chips hot and fresh. Well worth a visit and the tastiest that I have had in Cwmbran

Fish freshly cooked lovely meal. Always quality food.

Nice traditional British fish and chips.

£2 for a small chips and they were small won't be going back.

Lovely chips.freshly cook. fish.good choice of currys

Great food, speedy service. Helpful friendly staff. Would recommend to all.

Best fish and chips in area !!!;;Helen x

Small chips £1.95 small curry sauce £1.35 portion size was tiny. A child portion. Lots of tiny over cooked chips, curry sauce was so thick it fell out of the really small pot in a lump. Too expensive and quality not very good.

Lovely food and friendly staff 😀

Gave this place another try after my 1 star rating 3 years ago now, we were in boating lake so it's convenient. Have to say, not much has changed, absolutely appalling customer service, extremely slow and prices are still extortionate. Food is average at best, I think the produce quality is cheap and nasty but they still want to charge you the earth for it. That's twice now, never again ...

Awfull place staff rude and very expensive! made me feel like i was wearing three heads. If i could give it a zero star would.

This is a really busy local chip shop, with great staff and great food! The portions sizes are great here 5* all around!

OK for a fish bar, fish had bones in and the medium chips are enough for 2 people.
