Monnow Bridge Fish and Chips in Monmouthshire

Great fish and chips staff always friendly and welcoming

Awful fish and chips actually vile.

I very much injoy my fish chips at monnow Bridge I go there often good value for the money as I'm an OAP this I just some of my motor bikes and my man cave

Lovely food friendly staff thank you

If I could leave 0 stars I would!!! This was always my go to place in Monmouth for fish and chips. Went this evening however and the service was horrendous. Very slow. There was only one member of staff working, which I appreciate may have been difficult, however it was not busy and her customer service left a lot to be desired. Then when I actually tried the food, the chips were the worst I have ever tasted. All I could taste was stale fat. It appeared they had been cooked and then left a substantial amount of time and then cooked again quite a few times. They were so bad I was unable to eat them. Definitely not worth the amount they charge and I will not be returning !!

26th July 2024. DONT waste your money by taking chips away at 3pm Skins were hard and chips were white. Awful Chips. I ordered pie & chips and a curry sauce and chips..Never worth the £9.45. On a plus..the birds liked the chips

Very , very slow service 45 minutes for food to be served (no queues) no apology for delay and blank looks when chased up at 30 minute and 40 minute intervals😔

If I could give minus stars I would, paid £26.00 for fish and chips for me and my wife . The chips where un-eatable the worse chips I’ve ever had all I can think is they had gone cold and been re fried and the fish soggy, chips were that bad and as you can see by the pictures one broke a filling. We had to throw most of the chips away… 1st time last time using this establishment and last time.. There a chip shop at the top of the road opposite Iceland I recommend them…

We sat in the restaurant, it's clean , comfortable and warm. Ventilation prehaps isn't the best, so had the large folding doors into the garden not been open. I think it would have been a tad smelly ( past the normally chippy smell before someone says that ) The garden is great and has several tables with umbrellas in an enclosed area. Toilets are clean and well maintained. Food across the board looked good, I wasn't a fan of my haddock in beer batter so would choose something else next time like the scampi which a friend had and it was good or the chicken stripes which where great too. The staff here are absolutely brilliant so helpful and friendly we were a large group and they dealt with us well, it was also busy either other groups. One of the staff members' family members, maybe the daughter, was helping out and was so excited to be doing so and was doing a great job, well done to them. In all a great chippy and would recommend Thank you to all the staff on a hot and busy night

The most delicious fish and chips in Monmouth! Will definitely return.

As soon as I walked in my order was taken, one or two people waiting for the fish already in, so it was just a few minutes 😁 We had fish and chips, sausage and chips with the curry sauce, and we finished the lot 😋 the prices were reasonable and the portions were good, definitely will go back 😁

Excellent fish and chips, also, good homemade chilli. Finished of with a tasty apple and rhubarb crumble.

Come here the last few year.. Food excellent... Felt exited driving up from Bristol... Looking forward to buying fish and chips to eat out and look in beautiful views. Well so disappointed won't be going back.. Very small cod.. More batter than cod.. Chips mainly scrumps also brought to drinks £22.50...if they were as delicious as befor...price wouldn't off bothered me... Thanks for the disappointment 😕 Hope you sort it out.

Absolutely fabulous food, great service, beautifully clean, will be coming back to eat.

Very quiet period when we visited. Staff were still busying themselves. Food was excellent as always

Wow what can I say every time I've been impressed very tasty fresh chips and very generous portions. Highly recommend

Beautiful fish and chips, nice tea and coffee, very clean.

Food was very tasty and staff were very friendly

Over charged on food :( when questioned the change I was made to feel I was in the wrong the assistant finally gave me the correct change - £4 odd and wouldn't engage and turned her back on us :(

Wow mobydick on a plate ,perfect fish crispy batter could'nt be better ,generous chips mushy peas ,wife ate jacket potato, lovely crisp salad, pot tea for 2 prox 19£ the lot very tasty enjoyed a fine meal quick service,we 1st in restaurant and in minutes was full of happy customers ,can't wait to go back .

Found this place by accident and so glad we did. Friendly ladies behind the counter, we had 3 mini fish and chip meals and wasn’t expecting 3 choices of curry sauce. Plenty of batter on the fish and who doesn’t enjoy some crispy batter bits thrown in with your chips. We travel a lot and got to be the best fish and chips we’ve had in a long time. DELICIOUS!! Good price too at least than £25 for 3 meals we were all satisfied with the serving. Thank you.

Service is fine but the chips and fish were awful chips full of fat and the fish was dry and overcooked

Absolutely appalling chips were just bits £12 wasted

Undoubtedly the best fish and chips in Britain

Food wasnt fresh. Unwelcoming staff. Processed food. Overly priced.

Got some fish and chips, jacket potatoes, cheesy chips and halloumi fries. Prices were reasonable and portions were really good. Quick service but the lady who served the food was a bit short on responses which felt unwelcoming. Probably because they were busy. Plenty of seating inside the shop or even just outside, there are benches to sit and enjoy your food to good views. You may have to share your food with the swans and ducks lurking around though. Definitely recommend it and might go back again.

Very good food had a job to eat it all 😊

Twice I have tried to get chips at this shop and the staff have just walked off from the counter, as I have limited time I don't think this is very satisfactory.

We ate inside and had the seniors menu expecting a smaller plate given the £7.95 price. The food arrived reasonably promptly as did the included pot of tea etc., and I was pleasantly suprised at how large the serving was. Great value, good service and as good a fish & chip meal as we've had where we have paid double the price. Our default destination when we re-visit Monmouth.

Had a lovely fish and chips and chicken and chips salad curry sauce we sat in but you can take out which is nice as you can sit over the road by the river staff friendly

£5.05 for a large dried wrinkled sausage and a portion of chips, absolute rip off I nearly died when he told me the price.

Called in at 7.41 for 2x fish and chips and they told me I was to late, went elsewhere. I will not darken their door again.

I'm only 24 but nicest chips I've ever had in my life! :)

Basic fish n chips for a Friday night quick meal. I enjoyed my chips 😋 you get a decent size for what you order. We sat on the benches overlooking the river. Inside cafe.

Had fish chips peas. Fish had more batter than fish. Chips was looking like scraps. ( Must of been what's left from the woman that served herself that walked in front of me entering the chippy as she served herself chips ) Had to go to counter ask for service. No one came to ask if all was ok. No one asked if all was ok on paying. Clothes are drying on the radiator in the sit in dining area. Recommend people to go elsewhere for sit down dining.

Why is it that, nice looking places turn out not so nice? Fish was over battered ( crispier than others ) like crisps falling off, chips were only a few full ones ( buried beneath was scraps). This was eating in, so would not like to see what you get when you take it out. Maybe they don't really like passing trade 🤔🤔, service was nothing special either.

Very nice food, however staff could be friendlier. Also, to consume less plastic staff should ask whether you want to dine in or have it as takeaway.

Cold chips, my husband took his back, l threw mine away. Has it changed hands

Lovely chippy meal in the rear courtyard.

Not a great place to eat. Poor quality food . My partner also had what appeared to be a woodlouse in her fish in breadcrumbs. Apology from young man serving and no charge for her meal !!!! No approach by management rather leaving young server to deal with complaint........ sad.

great fish and chips, will certainly go back when passing

Excellent can't wait to go again best Fishn Chips I have had in years and actually will be visiting on the 21/5/2022 and as we are in Monmouth again on the 10/6/2022 at the theatre we will probably visit again great price as well super friendly.

The most miserable , rude , unhelpful staff . Completely ignored until they felt the time was right , would rather be checking their phones and laughing with other staff members . Literally throw the food on the counter can’t even put salt and vinegar on . Worst place ever ! Needs training in everything basic especially how to speak to customers!!

Excellent food, courteous and nice people, well priced and clean, recommended!

Probably the worst food I've ever had from a chip shop. The venue itself is what's saving this from being a 1 star review. The good: This place was really clean, staff were friendly and dogs welcome in the garden. Portion sizes were large and presentation of the food was really good. Good selection of cans of pop. The bad: The food. There were so many bones in the battered fish (I know, it's fish you can expect a few bones) but there was so many that it was completely inedible. The cheesy veggie burger was incredibly dry (i asked for two sauces, and recieved the tiniest amount of mayo and none of the other sauce). The patty was less than half of the size of the bun, and the bun was stale. We had a portion of curry sauce each, and it was so salty neither of us could eat it. Cost £18 for food we couldn't eat, and nobody came round to make sure the food was okay.

I won’t have food here again my chips was not cooked tidy my pie was cold and I won’t have food there again I give them one star

22 minutes for someone to take my order, and that was because I was putting my coat on. Uninterested staff in a half empty restaurant. Can't imagine what they are like when it's busy.

Portions are very small for the price, had a very small amount of curry in a pot. Not great! Wouldn’t visit again.

Rubbish portions for price. And staff just don't seem to care. Avoid.

Shocking, if I could give no stars I would do. Fish was dry and possibly warmed up from the day before. Even the seagulls wouldn't eat it. Avoid at all costs👎

Lovely food!!! Fish and chips was absolutely beautiful, freshly fried and flavoursome. Service was also great, staff friendly. Good value for money.

Pleasant young man counterpointed by an unsmiling woman prepping and frying . . . This was a meal to fill time so asked for takeaway to eat in the rain by the bridge. The chips were in the top few percent of a long lifetime of eating chips and fries all over the UK and the world. Fresh, crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. The fish (cod) was fresh from the fryer and texture was fine though this was not the deepest flavoured fish . . . batter was excellent though I'm not supposed to know (Shhh . . . don't tell!). All was served in a papier-mache clamshell, great because they bio degrade and can be recycled, the polystyrene ones are an ecological menace! Price wise, a little over the top but then, Monmouth is a surprisingly pricey place considering itself very 'upmarket' - M&S and Waitrose cheek by jowl!

Popped into day 4 dinner on our way home. Had the chicken curry, it was nice but small and hardly any curry sauce.

Very slow service Very greasy Pink in the middle sausages Staff happy to use hands to pick up chips that have fallen out of the tray,then put them back in. Would not visit again

Very disappointed, fish tasted of nothing at all, very watery maybe frozen, but the worst part was we spent days after with food poisoning. My only advice to anyone thinking of visiting this establishment is best to keep walking up the street to the proper chippy and save yourself a dozen toilet rolls in the process.

best fish n chips in wales Rory Price is the best staff member here !!!

Best chips in town and great tasting curry sauces, not the best fish but other items on the menu great. Highly recommend

Good crispy batter and chrispy chips that melt in your mouth. Cone of chips available for snackers. The smaller Senior citizen meal good for smaller bellies ;)

Some lovely fish and chips here brilliant takeaway if your stopping by Monmouth

Very very disappointed. Overcooked fish in soggy batter served with under cooked chips. Found a small piece of blue plastic in the fish.Every piece of fish was full of bones,not great with kids at all,vile at best

Great experience, the fish was piping hot inside crispy golden batter and the pot of tea was cracking. Would recommend as a pitstop

Lovely fish and chips.They make their own curry too. Restaurant and take away facilities. Friendly staff. A one minute walk from the river where you can sit and relax.

Great chips & the fish was very tasty 😋 fish batter was softer than we would like so good but not amazing

Chips were ok. But bland curry sauce, sausage like rubber, obviously been reheated. And the fish was flaky and stingy. Not a patch on queens fish bar a few yards away

I shared three small battered sausages and a medium portion of chips here today at lunch with my two sons. The sausages were delicious and the chips were some of the best I've eaten, as good as the best French pomme frite or Greek chips.

Batter and chips were drier than gandhi's flipflop and there was more bones in the fish than in a graveyard

Delicious fish & chips, and the usual other savoury foods, well priced.

Very disappointed fish was dry and tasteless. Chips were poor gravy like water .very poor quality. Would definitely not recommend or return.

I have visited this chip shop from cardiff many times and have never been disappointed. They make the best and tastiest fish and chips ive ever had.out of this world

Piping hot food, good service, and pleasant seating area to eat in.

Terrible food and terrible service was waiting 20 minutes before someone came to take our order and another time one of the waitresses was sat with her feet on a table.

Excellent fish and chip shop with fresh fish and fresh chips. The reviews are true and you can either have some take away or you can sit inside and enjoy a delicious meal. The staff are friendly and helpful and there is something homely about this place. Very happy that I have discovered this place and great that I have the option of sitting in and eating or take away.

Fantastic place, the chicken curry & chips is to die for, plenty of other options to.If you want to have a sit down meal there is a little restaurant at the back .

A very lovely chip shop. Service was great. Staff very friendly. Pity they haven't a chip shop in Lincolnshire. Was on holiday in the area and went for our tea twice. Will visit again if i am in the area again x

Arrived at close to closing time with very few options left. Chips were good.

Worst chip shop chips ever!!!!!! Wasted my money! Hard and scrunchy! 😠😠

The best fish & chips ever,anywhere.well worth a visit.

Not the best fish and chips in town

Good food. Excellent service and reasonable price. Couldn't ask for more...

Wet batter very twangy fish didn't enjoy

My favourite chip shop best chips in town 😀

It's a lovely town with lots of history but the chip shop was ok

Small cafe on the back of a chip shop, nothing really bad to say about it, it is what it is. Unless you're starving go for the oap smaller meals, enough for me and I've a big appetite.

This place is friendly and clean but the portion sizes are small. My wife had baked potato with cheese but said the cheese tasted very cheap and not as it should. Get a bag of chips from the counter, don't use the restaurant, they are nice and a bigger portion.

Lovely chips, certain staff however, need to go on a customer service course. I thought one was about to smile, but I think she had wind. Don't ask for a fish cake, if theres none on display. My God it's like you asked certain staff to bite off your toe nails. As I say though, nice chips. Just go in, keep yah head down and dont smile. You'll fit in lovely.

Great food at a decent price. Always going back

Lovely curry and chips. Have this as a treat every now and then. Nice friendly staff

Chips are out of this world. Can't wait to return.

Third time visit due to the great Chinese curry option. Really clean and tidy cafe at the back.

Not bad food but service and friendliness needs working on.

Absolutely revolting food had fish and chips from here last week haven't been right since the fish is just batter there is hardly any fish inside the chips are discusting hard crisps and the staff talk to you like your a dog not to mention just how expensive it is really horrible will never return queens fish & chips are the best in Monmouth by far

Very good! fish was a bit dry think it had been sitting in the warmer, chips superb had the senior citizens at 5.95. Excellent value and staff very good. Would be nice if the fish was cooked to order.

Have used this chip shop over many years and food has been very good. I went there this evening and had a very poor experience I was told I could not have fish as they were closing at 8pm. It was 7.50. Poor attitude more interested in closing and cleaning up than serving a customer no wonder these businesses struggle.

We always stop here on our to Wales best fish & chip in all of Wales and a great cup of tea. Staff are very friendly and efficient

Lovely food and helpful and friendly staff! !

Just had chips they were awful dried up greasy with more bits than chips don't go there

Love the chips here..and lovely ladies

Best chippy in South Wales and has been for 30yrs at least! Monmouths finest

Somewhat unfriendly staff and pretty awful fish and chips, at near twice the price I would pay in Birmingham.

Nice traditional and good value
