Mansels Chippy in Bridgend

Lovely fresh fish lightly battered just how we like it the service from a lady called Ellie was lovely She was very funny and polite. I would’ve given this a five, but I did find the prices quite expensive.

Always freshly cooked fish and service with a smile. Staff are always friendly and up for a little banter. Jenna the cook and Ellie the server (mam and daughter) were their usual chatty selves, just the way I like it.

I recently visited Mansels Chip shop and was really impressed! The fish was perfectly crispy, and the chips were spot on. The staff were friendly and efficient. Definitely one of the best chip shops in the area. I’ll be back for sure!

The staff are rude, and clearly not trained in customer service. The staff are rude to customers faces and make jokes about them behind their backs. The restaurant does not pick up litter from the outside seating area. The food is not the best either, so overall I wouldn’t go here again.

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.

Always reasonable price, lovely battered sausage, huge portions, quick service. Three types of curry sauce. Best chippy in the town.

We came today after we found they sold gluten free fish and chips! To say we were impressed would be an understatement! All food cooked freshly, GF food prepared and cooked separately! Perfect portions, reasonably priced, friendly service and popular by many - all signs of an excellent chippy! Very happy! 😊

Sorry I go to Mansel,s regularly but today chips seemed to re-warmed chips nothing worse will return but only when a big queue is there so fresh chips

By far the best fish and chips I've had for a long time, a local got me to try the irish curry sauce (don't know why it's irish?), and it was lovely. Walked round the corner and ate them on the beach, I was even offered a free cup of tea while I waited for the fish to cook. 5 stars 🌟 all the way.

Irish curry and chips. Excellent.

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.

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!

Excellent food, chips are lush. service was superb

Excellent food as always, great polite staff! Always busy, credit to the quality and service they provide! 👍

Becareful to work out the cost of your food when ordering,purchased,two kids boxes and a minced beef and onion pie with a small bottle of pepsi max and was charged £14.60!!!! With two nagging grandchildren i paid and sat them down to eat in the nearest park as there was no shade to sit and eat!!! This is not the 1st time being over charged here either!!!!

Mansel's Chippy is a gem! * The food was incredible - crispy batter, fluffy chips, everything cooked to perfection. * Our server Angel was amazing, attentive and made our visit special. Highly recommend!

Fantastic find Gluten free menu

One of the best fish and chips I’ve had. One of the few things that would make me come back to Porthcawl. Great potions very friendly staff

Lush freshly cooked fish and chips. Very clean, service was great. Lovely people. Great little seating area for you to sit and enjoy the food.

Great chip shop. Probably the best in the area. Friendly staff. I only marked it down for atmosphere as once you've bought your food you are just sat outside eating them.

Beautifull fish and chips. Outside seating lovely staff . Repeat visit still good . Asked for two fish and one chips. Helpfully divided chips up into the two fishes trays.

The chips are the best I've ever tasted, the fish is great too.

Probably one of the best chips shops by far amazing customer service reasonably priced with fresh food with very little wait 100% returning

service is alright you’ll get it at any other chippy but oh my goodness the chips are not to be slagged off they are just cooked perfectly and they chuck plenty of salt and vinegar on there for you. battered sausages from here are great too don’t let any bugger tell you that beales is the better chippy. Uppa mansel’s they should get the royal seal of approval.

Amazing food.l with amazing views on the sea front . Big portions so best to share to cut out wastage.

Food is always excellent from this establishment, never had a bad meal!

Lovely chip shop never had a bad experience here food is fresh an tasty plenty of options they accept cash an card a good selection of drinks there's a few tables an chairs outside to sit on

We can’t thank you enough for helping us out last week! As a non-profit, it’s a nightmare to find catering that covers everyone on our film crew within our budget and is enough food to energise everyone for the day. Mansel’s were speedy, generous and the food was delicious. Thank you so much, we will definitely come back when we are next filming in Porthcawl 😊

We go to Mansels for gluten-free and ordinary options The best in the area Being Porthcawl it is sometimes hectic but we go out of season too Fish and chips delicious and despite skipping lunch I’ve never been able to finish my chips It may be small but gives good efficient service even offering tea or coffee while I waited for food to be cooked I will be sad to see this go when the fair closes. Please find alternative premises Mansels

Love this place. Delicious food and fabulous customer services

Would have give one star but I have used this vendor before and know they can do better. Chips were greasy and generally the rest of the food didn’t get any better I expect better quality as an all year visitor not just a high season tourist Finnegan's & Beales opposite wipe the floor with this no better than a fairground side stall

Chips should be cooked a few minutes longer so that they aren't white, needs to be a little brown because they look under cooked otherwise.

Great fish and chips. Friendly staff. Definitely coming back!👌

Lovely chips, friendly service.

Bought sausage in batter x2 and chips on 11/07/2024 my god it was shocking sausage was raw still perfect pink batter was all soggy and falling of the sausage on both the chips were whiter than white and all mushed together if I seen this before getting home I would have returned them for a full refund I usually go to Beals but thought I’d give mansells a try never ever again

The GF options are amazing. The food is amazing. Thank you for having so many options for GF.

Definitely the best fish and chip shop in the area. You’ll be offered a free tea or coffee while you wait for freshly cooked fish. They serve gluten free. Prices are competitive. Staff are pleasant. I drive seven miles rather than go to the three chip shops I could walk to.

very nice chippy perfect after spending time at coney beach

Nice fish and chips although fish was only lukewarm inside. Beware of the seagulls if you are having take away as they are like vultures and will swoop down and take your food 🦅

Delicious fresh fish and very good fries! One portion is enough for two! :D

Award winning (coeliac society) eatery serving fish and chips freshly cooked to order. Spotlessly clean. Friendly staff. Other gluten-free foods such as pies , gravies etc also available. Offered complimentary tea/coffee while food being separately prepared. Highly recommended but be aware portion was huge.

Visited mansels chippy a few time's, never had any issues with the food or staff, visted last night was a bit of a cue so elderly lady asked people in the cue who was having fish so myself and my husband said 2 , so finally gets to the counter order's the rest of our meal and waits 20 minutes go by after still serving other people behind me , to this old lady shouting at me saying you have to order infront of other waiting customers told her I have and been standing there waiting, I walked away in disgust never will go back two server's arguing with each other over whose order was whose going out such a shame went there a few time beginning of the year served by lovely helpful friendly staff

Bloody lovely.... large selection of gluten-free on the menu... staff are so nice..

Excellent fish and chips, portion so large I couldn't finish it all.

The food wad nice but there wad a lady that serv3d me that wad duper grumpy and mat have forgotten her manners. I just spent £40 and didn't even have a smile or thank you from her. Manners don't cost anything lovely.

Amazing place to eat. Now even better the gluten free options have increased. Staff lovely, friendly, helpful and fully aware of making sure there is no cross contamination

Best place in Porthcawl for fish and chips you want go anywhere else once you tried these out amazing 👏

Visited on the 22nd of may ordered gluten free fish and chips also the gluten free curry sauce all cooked fresh great food and great service also great price there are several options for the gluten free food the service was great even offered a free tea or coffee because of the wait for food not many places do that I would highly recommend this chippy will use again when visiting porthcawl again keep up the great work

I do not live in a town with easy gluten free fish and chip options. It has quite literally been years since I've eaten any. For the first time in a lifetime, I ate what could only be described as the most crisp, fluffy, fulling battered sausage and chips. With CURRY SAUCE! It was as thick as it was flavourful. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Lovely staff, lovely food. Thank you.

Absolutely stunning chips here.

First time having food from here with my son and we will be going back well worth the drive fish was stunning and massive, service from the 3 ladies and gentlemen was fantastic id recommend this to anyone who is looking for good fish shop already planning our next trip down

Lovely food and friendly staff

Our fish was bloody gorjus and the chips were nice to well worth the drive from aberdare

Best chippy in Porthcawl, prices are good food is much, we ofter drive down (40mile) just to av food and a sit on the wall at the seafront foe an hour out, food and service always been excellent.

The best fish and chips I've had in a long time. The batter was light and the fish was very tasty. I also love the way they go the extra mile with a hand towel and some tartare sauce thrown in with the price too. Would definitely recommend. 😄

Always great food nice and clean my favourite chippy

Needed a warm food snack, weather was dreadful but our welcome from the staff was so warming, had fish and chips and some chicken nuggets and chips. We were with our grandchildren we all loved it and the server Angel, was lovely to talk to and made our brief visit was a success. Highly recommend the whole experience.

Seaside fish and chips...what's not to like? Great idea of offering a drink while you wait as everything is cooked fresh.

Nice fish and chips, and not to pricey

Always USED to go here but after yesterdays experience never again! I got what I thought was a huge tray of chips, but turned out it was mainly scraps, see photo which is ALL scraps. The chips had a funny taste to them too and felt very sickly soon after eating the few actual chips that I received. I am still not feeling well the following day! Yes I should have said something at the time, but my friend (the driver) was in a rush to get back home. Always been fine in the past but as I say not going here again... And £11 for fish and chips?

Absolutely delicious fish and chips!! Great gluten free selection which is so incredibly rare!! Highly recommended. Big portions and well priced. Make this a must visit when you visit Porthcawl. It’s not a trip to the seaside without fish and chips. 😁

The go to chippy in Porthcawl lovely food friendly staff and right by the sea

Great to be able to rely on availability of excellent gluten free fish and chips plus other GF options. Always really good service also.

The very best fish and chip shop in pothcawl. The food is absolutely delicious and always friendly staff

Friendly service, fish was cooked fresh, both the fish and chips was faultless, Will definitely be returning on our next visit.

Best gluten free fish and chips! I thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful and it was cooked to perfection too. Rest of family had rissole or sausage and enjoyed theirs too

Best chips in Porthcawl! Lovely staff and good size portions

The food is incredible & the staff are so polite. They also offer a complimentary cuppa. A very welcoming place. They even had a seat for the pup 😁

I like this chippy better than beals if I'm honest. I tried finnigans in town centre and was not impressed with the price, nearly £9.00 for jumbo sausage and chips even though I was informed after leaving the review when I got home that it was unlimited chips and let's be honest most of the time one plate of chips is enough. The jumbo sausage and chips here is half the price of what I paid at finnigans. Will be back to mansels in the future. Just for reference a jumbo sausage here is £2.00 and at Finnegan's £6.00.

We always go to Masnels when we visit Porthcawl. Lovely food. Great service.

Great food,always fresh . Lovely friendly staff and good prices.

Excellent food. Good, quick service with friendly staff.

Lovely fish and chips could even sit outside

Wonderful staff, delicious food, freshly cooked fish on request, ample chips, and probably the cheapest I have found on a seafront. Would highly recommend and look forward to return visit.

Amazing fish and chips and plentiful also got curry sauce tartare sauce, a wipe and a coffee for 11.00 this has to be the cheapest i have had on any sea-side lately and lovely staff, would highly recommend!!

Absolutely delicious and the service was so friendly. Definitely will be coming back!

Amazing GF fish & chips today. Can’t recommend them enough. Extremely busy as it was Mother’s Day but so well organised, & even a complimentary cup of tea whilst we waited (which was literally only minutes).

Wish Id gone here a few days ago on my first visit to porthcawl when I fancied fish and chips. The staff even offered us a complimentary cuppa whilst our fish was cooking. Had a lovely curry sauce to. This is what a fush in batter size should be. Price was brilliant and staff were so friendly. Id say this is the best Chippy in porthcawl.

Lush just what you want by the sea highly recommend

The service was so prompt, staff are lovey, food was absolutely delicious. Hard to find a good chippy , it’s the only plaice for us now. Fish was perfect and the prices are so fare compared to other local chippys. Thank you 👌 Neil T

Amazing selection of gluten free options. I opted for gluten free battered sausage and chips, freshly cooked by Jenna and Angel. Absolutely delicious and the service was excellent, I’ll be back to try the gluten free pie and chips!!

Amazing Gluten free fish and chips - loads of GF items on the menu and always cooked fresh with no weird attitudes 👌 Can be very busy on a Friday or Saturday late afternoon which can result in some stressed staff, but they’re always friendly. On less busy days they’ll sometimes give a hot cup of tea or coffee while you wait. Generous portion sizes. Best GF batter around.

Was recommend this place by a lady we met on Ogmore beach walking her dogs and it didn’ disappoint; exceptional fish and chips!

First time trying this chip shop, Staff were really friendly and had a laugh and the food was brilliant, my partners friend is celiac and they even offered a lot of gluten free products which is rare.will be returning :)

Amazing food, really well priced The staff are so friendly, a great location right on the beach. Can’t wait to come back.

Recommended to us, so we thought we'd try it out, and happy we did. Great customer service, fish freshly cooked on arrival and lovely chips. A little quiet as it's out if season here, but nevertheless highly recommend. Keep up the great work guys

I have been using this chip shop for many years and it has been very good but the last few times it has been the worst food I have eaten, so bad it went in the bin, when ever I am in Porthcawl again I will have to start using another chip shop.

Delicious food, friendly staff, best chippy in Porthcawl.

Great fish and chips, big portions and great quality. Even have gluten free options.

Always lovely food. Great gf selection available.

Always great choices and the fish is amazing. Great customer service and friendly staff. We never go anywhere else xx

Good food however the attitude of the older lady on the counter put things to shame. Never encountered such a misrable person when it comes to customer service. Should of went across the road and paid extra

Gluten Free!! I had a delicious gluten free fish and chips here today and there is an excellent selection of more GF goodies for next time. I was also given a complimentary cup of tea while waiting for my food to cook. Location is perfect for enjoying lunch/dinner on the beach. Staff are lovely and always very friendly. It's the best chippie for miles.

Delicious bag of Chips.. Best I've had in Porthcawl..

OMG gluten free all year round. Cooked and served separately. Tasted amazing 👏 🤩 😋

Brilliant service, quick and easy! Fish and chips best I’ve had! Price was great too . Highly recommend

The cheapest and the best chippy in Porthcawl. Staff are great (lady still cooked me a cod the other evening, even though they were on the verge of closing) they also do gluten free!

Nice quick service. Good food. Been here before. All good 👍
