We use Mansel’s Chippy as they offer Gluten Free food. Our favourite is the Fish & Chips. Everything is cooked fresh as you place your order. There are a couple of tables and chairs outside if you choose to stay. We love this Chippy! The only bad thing is the Free complimentary coffee while you wait. We hate the taste of the coffee, so placed it in the bins provided. The Chippy is in a fabulous location so you can take the food away and sit in a multiple of places to suit yourself. The Beach is two minutes walk away.

Really enjoyed our lunch here. The chips were superb. The pie was hot and not microwaved and the curry sauce was tasty. We were lucky and had a lovely cold winters day to eat outside. Quality chippy and the prices were very reasonable as well. Recommended

Great fish and chips. But for me it's there gluten free menu , allegen and cross contamination knowledge that keeps bringing me back. We drive for over an hour in all weather's to enjoy their lovely gluten free fish chips and curry sauce.. And then a walk along the beach to burn it off, obviously 🙄 😁 I noticed on Sunday that they've added scampi to their gf menu will defo be trying that next time 😋

We sometimes struggle to find a chip shop that caters for my Gluten intolerant wife but we've found a real gem here. I had NORMAL fish and chips and also a Gluten Free fish and chips and curry sauce and I can honestly say it was all fantastic. Gluten free chips we have ever had. Gluten free fish was great Gluten free chips were great Gluten free curry sauce was great. It was so good, we went there twice in 2 days. I really can't recommend this place highly enough.

Our favourite fish & chip shop. Fish is huge & beautifully cooked - chips are the best I've tasted in a long while (golden, not greasy, not all bits - nice chunky chips). Not sure what we will do when the Porthcawl refurbishment starts as this is one of the businesses scheduled to be removed. Fingers crossed they will find a new premises.

Best fish n chips I've had anywhere for quite a while. Generous proportions. Really tasty fish - served straight from the fryer so could not be any fresher. Chips just as good - traditional/proper chips rather than the horrid process ones of so many outlets today. And loads of mushy peas to make a complete and satisfying meal. All at a reasonable price - what more could anyone wish for!

Food was amazing for one of my cousins kids as he is highly restricted on his diet and was able to eat a proper full meal for the first time in a while. The staff where great and able to have a little bit of a laugh and the atmosphere is what you’d expect from a sea front chippy but they did have dandelion and burdock which you don’t see often anymore 10/10 place to eat.
