Mermaid Fish Bar in Carmarthenshire

Very nice couple taken over, did not have to wait too long, good service, pleasant atmosphere. My order of cod,chips and curry sauce was delicious, best for ages.

Classic fish'n'chips shop as you would imagine. We were passing through and ordered our dinner there. Value for money is great and the food was great!

Recommended by our chimney sweep. Big cod portions well battered and cooked and lavish portions of chips keep us coming back. Food freshly prepared so use phone, online or app to cut waiting time if you’re in a hurry.

Good service, good food, friendly staff. Excellent chips!

Ordered by phone 20 mins before pickup. Waste of time as had to wait about 30 mins. in a normal que. Service was slow. Would not use again. 😞

Great chips. You'll need to wait for fish, as it's freshly cooked. Good value.

The girls are very friendly and chatty

Great food cooked fresh for you.friendly staff

Nice friendly fish and chip shop , good value

Lovly chips very clean staff go above and beyond

Great take-away fish and chip bar prices fall all pockets

Allways very nice food, and good vaule in these times.

Great food cooked fresh. Lovely people too 👍

Easy review- great fresh cod and chips Would go back . Lots of chips and large portions of fish. Limited parking but no problem parking over the road . They also offers a book ahead service to save waiting. All good

We called in at the Mermaid Fish Bar on our way to our holiday destination. We were pleasantly surprised at the reasonable prices but amazed at the size of the fish, they were huge! It was all freshly cooked and delicious. Highly recommended.

Amazing battered Cod and 🍟 chips

Not very nice tonight it was Greece and the chips were hard it's got Very expensive and it was a treat for us sadly disappointed

Always beautiful chips, love their home made chilli with chips lush x

Very sorry I called never again

Great service, polite staff and generous portions.

Fantastic food 😋, home made curry is Awesome 👌 Staff are brilliant, thanks 😊

Lovely food, good value, great customer service 👍

Having been here a couple of years ago pre Covid finally able to visit friends again she suggested chippie tea, straight away we said do you still go to the same one we used last time we were down. YES so off we went Fish supper, Faggots meal OMG delicious 😋 had to go back for a second visit before heading north to home.

Great little place first time being there as we have no power but the fish was fantastic and chips well what can I say we will definitely be back best in the area a great little chippy

Brilliant service, quality food, best chippy in uk.

My son got us takeaway last week lovely as always

This is our absolute favourite fish n chips in the whole world! The chips are always properly cooked and not pasty white like is the case in most chippy's. They take mobile orders too. You won't be disappointed.

Lovely food there, never disappoints

Best tasting batter on my fish ever. Well worth the visit.

Beautiful. Chips I love it here I wish I could stay here forever and eat everyone chips lol love it and great price

Always go here for chippy dinner. Best chips in area and fish is beautiful.

Natalie and Emma are fab, very helpful plus excellent telephone manner.

We usually go to Ocean Blue but as they weren’t open at lunch time we decided to chance it here. What a mistake! The chips were revolting, tastless, chewy and hard. They were a pale milky colour not golden brown. The fish bites weren’t really fish bites more the tail end of a smallish fish. The batter was soggy and to top it all we had to wait for this disgusting food. We will never visit here again. Disappointing.

3/8/2021 the chips tonight were amazing

Always a decent size Cod and freshly cooked Chips were great too , think there are new owners now so ?

You won't meet nicer people, nor be better fed chicken chunks and chips were excellent with no waste thank you so much hope to be passing again soon

Searcted Tte Goog for a fish and chip bar along our route. Found this place at 4.5stars and pages of reviews. Small fish and chips deal £4.30. Jumbo sausage in batter £1.60. Chips actually cooked to perfection, an- anyone reading through few reviews will know that's an honour. Fish cooked to order. But the best was the jumbo sausage in batter because the batter was as ttick as my waistline. Bravo Mermaid Fish Bar. I am smiling.

Big chips and the fish was huge.

We decided to have a chippy tea,the chips were terrible..they were dry and tasted terrible.felt like they were yesterday's chips being re cooked

Best quality potatoes and excellent choice of additives to eat with the chips. I'll go out of my way to have dinner with Mel and the Girls great prices to feed your terrapins too !

Ordered on line food ready on arrival massive portions of well cooked and delicious food great value for money

Always fresh & tasty! Never disappointed 👍😋

Excellent food and great prices, covid precautions are also excellent.

Had food on Tuesdays twice in the last 5 weeks and it was lovely, and i kept bragging it up we had the same on Saturday night and I'm sorry I'll think twice about next time 🙃

Excellent fish and chips. Cooked fresh and excellent customer service. Thank you

Have had 3 deliveries in the past month, on each occasion had delicious cod and chips, which were really superb, Delivered by friendly staff, piping hot and really was such a treat in these extraordinary times. We appreciate this service and thank the hard working staff for providing first class food. They were a little late last Friday but that is understandable under these circumstances and the food was still fresh and excellent quality. Just a suggestion maybe in the future a quick call just to say you are running late would be appreciated. this is not a criticism just a suggestion. Diolch/thanks again.

Lovely fish and chips , lovely staff.

There's a welcome off the staff. The food is cooked fresh and there's good value for your money. The shop is clean and well kept. Covid precortions are always adhared too.

Beautiful fish chips best I have had in a long while keep it up.

I'm so sorry to have to only put 2 stars, but for the last 7 years we have eaten and recommended Mermaid, but of late the food has gone down hill badly. Curled up very well done jumbo sausages the same size as a nor,al one because it's over cooked and shrunk. Chips used to be the best in the area, real potatoes but lately, over cooked and really fatty!! We collect our food to go home to eat, on more than a few occasions food has been missing from order and as we live 4 miles away not worth going back out for it, so have been over charged. I dont know what's happened, but we have tried complaining but Mel never seems to be there any more. I've always given 5☆ but I'm so unhappy with the service unfortunately it's a 2 now and we will not be coming back :( I always try and be fair, all takeaways have a off day, but the last 3 meals have been absolutely terrible, cold, overcooked, sloppy. Sorry to see such a good chippy go down hill like this, esp now there is a new chippy in town.... You need to up your game now guys, not give "Less than adequate food"

Awful food, I was dissatisfied as they used to be an excellent place to eat

Their chicken curry is amazing I dint go anywhere else for chicken curry my favourite dish with rice

Brilliant as always , they had a slight blip a while ago , but now back to normal.

Good food good price cooked fresh

Fantastic food good value and lots of it

Fish is always freshly cooked while you wait and huge, nice display of other treats, and plenty of tasty chips, can't fault it.

We are regulars at the mermaid fish bar all the girls working there are lovely and welcoming . The food is always excellent and fish is cooked to order meaning you never have soggy fish and the batter is always fluffy .

Good place with a great section. Fast service and nice staff. Great place to grab something quick and delicious.

Best in West Wales stunning every time I call😃👋👋👋👋

Best in the area. Can't be beaten.

We were in the area today and wanted a quick bite to eat and tapped into Google chip shops near me. The Mermaid was our nearest so we called there. I was pleased to note the food hygiene rating was a 5, so we were off to a good start. My husband wanted fish bites, which were cooked fresh to order, the fish was white and fresh. I had a sausage in batter, lovely crispy batter and we shared but failed to finish one generous portion of chips. The chips were also excellent, hot, fresh and crispy on the outside. The cost was reasonable at just over £6 in total. Great value for money, lovely food and we would definitely call again if in the area.

Stopped here on a recent camping trip to wales Kids loved the chicken nuggets And a very generous portion of chips Pricing was spot on Superb choice on the menu, wouldn’t mind trying the curry, rice & chips Very friendly welcoming staff Definitely come back when were next camping in the area

Had a meal here recently, and found a deep fried fly in with the chips, complete with crisp wing. Felt quite repulsed.

We regularly have fish and chips here. Well cooked, not overly greasy, nice fresh chips. Faggots, peas and chips are recommended.

Friendly staff great food 5 stars

Always good food here Excellent choice and always freshly cooked to order well worth a visit if your looking for good quality food

Amazing chippy, always lovely freshly cooked food especially the fish!! and reasonably priced. Always a warm welcome from the owner and the staff everytime I call by. Won't go anywhere else now a definite favourite with my family.

It was excellent service the food was excellent to

Perfectly cooked food every time . And staff are very friendly

1x Large chips fed 3 of us, with the addition of 1x fish, 1x chicken chunks and 1x rissole. They are currently selling a "Christmas rissole", but had sold out on the evening I visited.

The two girls working here are their to earn a wage full stop. The result very poor service, poor quality fillet of cod with bones, horrible thick greasy batter. This is the worse fish and chips I have had. Never again.

Very friendly staff, Good food, parking outside, what more do you need.

Stunning food and massive portions

Well what can I say, I work in a factory close by, and I live in the Neath, and once a week I will treat my darling partner and children to a chippy from this place, As I entered I was Wormley welcomed by the staff, upon ordering food I asked for a cod and chips, I I fact had half a whale and bag of spuds, fed the 4 of us, I have been a chef for 15 years and cooked for the likes of Lee evens, Joe joyner, Paul burrel, and the cast of green Street, this cod I would love to know we're it comes from as being a chef I know frozen to unfrozen, and this cod I can't seem to work out if it was frozen so I'm guessing fresh, £5 for this dish, it's a must try, lovely food lovely friendly staff and the regulars all seem to be so friendly, see you again next week.

The fish was well done ,a little on the small side, the chips, small in size but a lot for your money.

Always friendly staff and good portions

Always service with a smile and large portions

Best fish and chips in.the area

Amazing chips and they are open on a Sunday

Also delicious fish and chips from here. Fish is freshly cooked to order. Chips are delicious and I’ve not had any of those kept warm chips you can get in other places. Staff are always super friendly, excellent takeaway. Can also phone an order through to them. The only negative I’ve found is that their other shop sells locally made cheesecake, this shop doesn’t, which is a great shame 🤭, hopefully this will change in the future 😄.

Mel and his team always make us feel welcome! The food is great, food portion sizes are brilliant and its great having a specials board to choose from.

Fab fish and chips. Friendly efficient service.

Great food. Always fresh fish cooked to order. Very reasonably priced

Always a warm friendly welcome from everyone every time I visit used and loved by all my family over and over again best chippy in Wales 😋

Located on the right hand side of the road as you enter the village of Llandybie.The chip shop has a big range of choice with reasonable prices.You will probably have to wait 10/15 min for some things as Fish as to my experience it's been cooked from fresh,very nice too.It also has child menu.Being quite local I tend to phone and book in advance.

Disappointed,the fish had bones and the chips was cold

Great value and quality. Friendly service too.

The owner always has a smile and cheery hello whenever you visit. We don't call there very often but when we do it's usually for the freshly cooked to order fish and chips and maybe mushy peas. I don't eat the batter but the fish Inside it is really nice.

Great Food, good portions and friendly staff

Amazing chips, and a fitty works behind the till x

Best chips good service outstanding food

I was returning home when I saw this fish and chip shop. I decided to give it a try and am so glad I did for the food was superbly cooked. The chips, in particular, were the most succulent I had tasted for a very long time and the rest of the food was equally as good. For a shop hidden away from the main road this is a treat for any passing traveller.

Best chip shop in Ammanford and surrounding areas..always a bit of a wait, but at least it's all fresh!

Delicious food, fabulous service and lovely scenery.

Love the food. Sometimes you have to wait a bit but it is worth it.

One chicken & mushroom pie and chips and one jumbo sausage in batter and chips for £6.50. Good price. Quick service as well on a Tuesday evening. Welsh speaking staff too. Diolch yn fawr.

Delicious chippy. It's popular so expect a small queue and a short wait.

Brilliant service and beautiful food and friendly staff

A brilliant chip shop. Open late on sundays. Food is good, never disappointed.
