Nelson Fish Bar in Caerphilly

We thought we would treat ourselves to Fish and Chips for a change and had 2 Fish bites each, a portion of Chips, Peas and Curry sauce. The first one we ate was just about edible and the second one looked a bit grey, my Wife left hers but I ate most of mine, I wish I hadn’t because next day I was not well, awful, never again.

Just had fish & chips from this well known chip shop. Absolutely terrible. Fish so over cooked we couldn’t even get a knife through the batter and dry dry dry. Completely inedible. All gone to the dog. And this was after waiting over 40 mins for this. Absolutely disgusting.

Always come here once a week for lunch whilst working, always fresh quality food and cooked correctly. Food us always hot and staff are professional. Looked at other reviews where it says staff are rude and would disagree, they're not chatty, but just doing their job!

Called in as recommended by a friend, I travelled from Mountain Ash for our fish and chip supper and I must say was well worth it, the fish was huge and good size portion of chips that came in a box with free tartare sauce, the food is good value for money and the staff were very polite and friendly, all in all we were very impressed with this chippy that We will now call our local.

Walked into shop was asked if I had a mask, i said I didn’t as I am exempt, from there on the mood instantly changed, if looks could kill!! Asked for cheese chips and gravy in a tray with salt and vinegar, was handed my food again with attitude and without the usual decorum you expect when purchasing something, I will guess this is because I am mask exempt as the servers attitude changed immediately after I informed her of this, if that’s not the reason then I would suggest providing people with a service isn’t the job for this particular person. Left the shop jumped in my van to eat my food, less that half a tray of chips, no cheese and no salt and vinegar and with my can and a bottle of water charged six 6 quid for the privilege! I’ll drive to the next village for my food tomorrow as the service and food here left me with a bad taste in my mouth, excuse the pun.

Before placing my order on the telephone I used Facebook to check out the menu and prices. I have never seen a chip shop offering such a fantastic choice of fish (plaice, haddock, cod, steamed salmon, sea bass, hake as well as fish cakes / bites, battered crab sticks and scampie). In addition to this the chip shop also sells a large selection of pies and pasties, chicken, sausages, chilli, chip butties, rissoles, curries, battered burgers, beans and so on. I ordered a large bag of chips, faggots, peas and gravy, a lamb and mint pie and battered calamari in a chilli dip, as well as two corned beef pies for tomorrows tea. The order came to just under £14 which was fantastic value for money. The food was ready when I arrived and the service was very efficient. I will definitely be returning soon.

Generous portions fish was really good , be prepared for a long wait ! Other phone orders took priority but food was good

A very stormy day ..hot delicious fresh fish n chips at its very best ..great value for money..lemon & tartare sauce too...bubbly helpful staff..busy cooked to order well worth the visit ..lots of choice on offer ..highly recommend!

Friday 5p.m. ate 2 x large cod plus chips & mushy peas + lemon slices/tartare sauce total cost £15.20. Waited 7 minutes as fish cooked to order. Sold in cardboard recyclable box to keep warm to take to car. Cod about 10 inches long; exceptionally fresh (the owners run a fresh fish shop as well), beautifully cooked, batter crisp. Chips cooked in good quality fat, tasted great - generous portion. Variety of other bites/fish available. You can ring ahead to avoid waiting so I have said bookings are accepted - but apart from 8 seats, there are no tables. Parking nearby awkward - best if someone stays in car and lurks.

Delicious food excellent menu. The fish and chips is enough for 2 the fish very tasty. It's very clean and staff very polite and helpful. Would recommend.

Service and food was fantastic, real chips and lovely fish. Will definitely go back 10/10 huge portions as well

Very nice proper fish and chips, not the cheapest but can't fault the quality or indeed the quantity

Getting two big for their boots.waited half hour for chips and fish bite due to telephone orders.fish bite was missed out on my order although was paid for.why cant they have staff on orders,and staff on walk ins? Simple.

The fish is as good as it gets, really nice size portions of chips. Cornbeef pie that's to die for (says the wife) loads of other things too. The only thing that I can say against them is the wait as they cook the fish to order. It's our goto fish and chip shop.

We visit here a few often a wonderful chip shop nothing to much trouble for the staff . Best cod around for miles the menu here is the best I ever seen for a fish and chip shop . Worthy of a visit excellent.

This fish and chip bar is as good as it gets,the fish is very good very white cod the owners ar fish mongers.we have had a few times now good meals takeaway .

Lovely customer service not notch fish and chips with plenty to choose from great place to take your bit on the side to impress

Best fish and chips in nelson. Good portions, freshly cooked, good service, clean. Fish nights r great. Good value. Lots to choose from.

food is good but the only thing you should be waiting for is fresh fish, people come in order sausage and chips and have to wait?, I have ordered fish in the past and then after waiting 15minutes had to then wait for more chips as they gave it to the person who was 4 beind me in the q

If you order here be prepared to wait 45 minutes and then be informed your request cannot be fulfilled as they are closing.

Absolutely gorgeous fish & chips from Nelson fish bar, we buy from here quite often. It can get quite busy so be prepared to queue but it’s definitely worth the wait, friendly staff

Best fish and chip shop in this area very busy that complements the choice of food on offer also staff are very good

have been going here every Friday for fish and chips excellent quality and reasonable price advise you phone your in advance especially peak times.

Always clean and food is fresh. The fish is of superb quality and the chips are always fresh. Better than any fish and chips I have had at the seaside. Would highly recommend.

Been here a few times since Webbers Fish Merchant took over, the best about without a doubt. Freindy service and lovely grub.

The range of items available is comprehensive as they are delicious. Run by a couple who also own a locally well know wet fish merchants, the fish here is superb. They also offer homemade fishcakes and chilli, as well as lovely Victoria pies.
