New Celtic Restaurant in Ceredigion

I had the Turkey dinner and it was processed meat and microwaved, reheated mashed potatoes. It was absolutely disgusting! When I started to complain I was cut short and told, "Thanks for that. Goodbye". This restaurant has won awards. Why, I don't know. I'll never eat there again. They don't care though because They make all Their money from gullible, hungry tourists. What a let down!!..

Chips were a little underdone but in general not bad. Bit too expensive too

It's quality affordable food. Chips are cooked separately from everything else so they are vegan and gluten free.

We were looking around for a place to eat and settled on this place. The staff were all very friendly and answered any questions we had. Took our order and we didn’t need to wait long for food or drinks. Made a joke with our little boy which was well received. Food is a decent price and plenty of it. I usually stay away from lasagna as it’s never as good as home made but it was brilliant. Everyone enjoyed their food. We had fish and chips , toasted sandwiches and pizza as well. All came out hot, tasty and not much left. Would definitely come back next time we visit. Staff are lovely and the place itself is a lovely looking place. Dogs welcomed outside too which was fine by us. Well done all.

We come here every year during our summer holiday and the fish and chips are always fantastic. We can also recommend the curry with 'half and half' chips and rice. Friendly and efficient staff are always on hand to look after us. Very highly recommended.

Best fish and chips we have had, our grandkids ate everything, which is quite unusual. Very friendly and helpful staff, thoroughly recommend.

Had lovely pancakes on Saturday and scrambled eggs on Sunday. Lovely staff and good food, recommended!

My daughter had something in her drink I took it back to get it changed from that moment we were treated differently to everyone else! The food was amazing the attitudes of the two female staff were disgusting we were the only table left with all our finished plates on it and the only table that had to ask for the bill. We always visit Wales we always visit this restaurant we won't be visiting again! Just to add the male member of staff was friendly helpful and very polite!

Great takeaway , great restaurant. Food is lovely. Not just chippy grub lasagne and chips 🤩 if your in the area well worth a visit

Fantastic Restaurant, free car park close by on Harbour. Good menu with plenty of choice and reasonably priced. Great food and ample portions. Excellent service, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. This restaurant is well worth a visit.

Very good, food excellent, staff very friendly and obliging

Best food in Aberaeron 100% chips outstanding toasties amazing just go there and thank me later 😋

The fish and chips were very fresh.service was good, good value for money.

Good meal, but a bit on the large size for me. Would use again.

Walking through Aberaeron and found this place to eat. Very friendly staff. Clean and nice atmosphere. Food is exceptionally good and value for money is also great. Would definitely recommend

Friendly staff and very prompt table service. Food was great with plenty of choice! Can see why it comes recommended. Nice location to watch the harbour once the works have been completed.

Very friendly service and good quality food and cake - the cappuccino was awesome

Aberaeron a bit over blessed with gastropubs on the upper middle of prices So good to find this Chipper with restaurant at the back Good menu with lots of choice priced between £8 to £13 Just had a refurb so a bit more like a Pub than chip shop Also serves Alcohol Would have nice views but the never ending harbour works put paid to that

Had a lovely carvery with my husband to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. The food was very well presented and tasted delicious. The staff were very polite & friendly. Highly recommend 👌

The New Celtic is such a find... Great food... My Fish & Chips were freshly cooked on the spot & the Family were so Happy also with all their food.... Michelle... What can I say.... Service & personality all done with a smile .... And Charlotte you waved goodbye to us... Seriously Guys & Gals... If you haven`t ? You certainly will now.... Exceptional & the beer was also Amazing... 5Stars for you all Lovely folk of The New Celtic Restaurant !!! Rob ( Composer)

Went to this restaurant twice while in Wales. A very warm welcome both times, taken to a nice clean table and order taken promptly and delivered within a reasonable waiting time. The food was very good, first time was cod and chips with mushy peas second time my husband had the hunters chicken and I had the bacon steak, very nicely cooked and I got two bacon steaks which I was surprised at, we really enjoyed our experience in a lovely clean restaurant with nice views out the back. I highly recommend this place to eat when in Aberearon.

My husband and I have been stopping off here for our lunch, on the way to Llangrennog, for about 9 years now. The food is always well cooked and the staff are polite. Hubby has cod which he says is always just right...white and flaky..and the chips are always fresh and crispy. I have chips beans and cheese. You can't say much about beans and cheese to be fair, but I love them. There's always plenty of cheese and beans..enough to take some home for tea. Portion sizes are jolly good year after year. Don't ever change and see you again next year.

Ordered the Celtic Burger, and my wife had the southern fried chicken burger £17 for each, the Celtic burger was tasteless and in my opinion was a cheap frozen pattie the so called chips in skins were just cheap frozen chips, no garnish just a burger on your plate and a bucket of cheap fries, the so called southern fried chicken was a frozen piece of processed chicken, £34 for two substandard burgers, I don’t mind paying for a decent meal but this meal was far short of a decent meal, in fact I would call it a rip off, if your going to charge £17 for a burger I expect something better than frozen food get your act together and stop ripping people off.

Standard food. Nothing that was a standout but nothing that was inedible. Tables took a while to be cleaned even though the place wasn’t busy. A positive about this place is they’re pet friendly.

Arrived about 11.30am so opted for the full Celtic breakfast which came with tea or coffee. Good portion size, 2 bacon/2 sausage/1 egg/beans/tomato/mushrooms/fried bread and toast. Very good quality and served promptly. Staff all very polite and friendly. Good value for money, nice and clean so would definitely recommend and return

Well fish and chips what can you say accept delicious fresh and served with a giant friendly smile by lovely people. Great place to grab a tasty fish and chip supper .

This used to be a great restaurant cafe, but maximising profit now seems to be the priority. In the last couple of years, prices have increased and portions have now got to the stage where they are only child size. And we are only talking relatively cheap ingredients like chips and salad. I have mentioned this a few times, but the management don't take any notice of feedback so we won't be returning. We will now go elsewhere, so we don't leave a restaurant and we are still hungry!

We grabbed take out of a Saturday night and despite the place being very busy service was super speedy. The food was fresh, piping hot and delicious, we had fish & chips and sausage & chips and both disappeared very quickly!!!

Everything about this place is just incredibly average, the fish and chips were good, and the chicken pie was also okay but the mushy peas weren’t for me. The service wasn’t bad and neither were the prices but nothing was super great.

This is a very busy place close to the harbour, people sitting outside on the day, middle of August. Ordered Fish and Chips, Scampi and the special, I think it was called the fish basket, this wasn't as good as I hoped for but everything else was perfect. Service was really quick and there's plenty of seating inside too. Staff happy to give out plenty of sauce sachets for no extra charge, it is really frustrating when a chip shop charges extra for sauces. While waiting, looking at what other people were eating, the burgers looked very tasty, one to remember next time we're in beautiful Aberaeron, a very special place.

The service was quick but the waitress got the order wrong at first. We both had bacon, egg, chips and beans. The egg and beans were fine, but the bacon was undercooked, pale and very tough. And more than three quarters of the chips were actually just bits, more like the scrapings! We actually left most of our meal as it just really wasn’t that nice.. This is usually a good restaurant and it was really busy. ….But this doesn’t really encourage me to recommend or visit it again after this experience for a sit down meal.

Good food & friendly service - will do grilled cod with no batter - my wife can't eat batter - it makes her feel ill - not many places offer this option ....👍🏻

Lovely tasting food very filling friendly staff and excellent desserts 🥩🍟 🍨😀

This restaurant has lots of choices and caters for children, also dogs are welcome outside, lucky as we had 2 children, 2 dogs and 4 adults. All the adults choose all day breakfasts. These were large and came with fried bread, toast and tea or coffee. My vegetarian was so large and although I finished the meal, the toast I passed to the others. Also it was very reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. I’d recommend this restaurant highly.

Visited for lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon. Extremely warm welcome on arrival. I had the cod and chips from the specials menu. Beautifully fresh flaky cod in a crispy batter, chips fresh and tasty definitely visit again when next in the area .

Absolutely beautiful fish and chips in a lovely setting

Best chips we have ever had, great service out door eating area for you to bring dogs would recommend 👌

Lovely fresh fish and chips and mushy peas. Really friendly service and dog-friendly veranda. Turns out our dog (Tina) really likes cod!

Went for breakfast. Tried the Celtic breakfast and it was absolutely superb. Large portion, well presented and extremely tasty. I often visit for their fish and chips, which are equally outstanding. I am a regular visitor to Aberaeron and always try and make a point of calling in.

Overall good, a bit of a wait to get seated but service was quick and efficient. Potions were plentiful and tasty. At the time we went the car park next door was freezing or appeared to be as there were no pay machines or signage anywhere to be seen.

Really lovely food, reasonably priced and the staff were really welcoming. Highly recommended 👌

Various menus to choose from, Kindness and pleasant service. I accompanied my meal with a glass of French MALBEC. Excellent !

Great fish and chips, absolutely gorgeous.

We ate outside for a late afternoon dinner. The weather was breezy with some drizzle so they quickly put out the retractable awning to keep us dry. The food was very nice and they were happy to make me a full salad, even though it wasn't on the menu and it was lovely! Prices very reasonable and great service.

Great breakfast and local choices

Food took ages and didn't taste very nice and kids around 13 were eating with their mouths open and shouting. I couldn't enjoy my meal at all

Eaten here a few times and never disappointed Good selection of good food and great staff

We had fish and chips to take away from the new celtic. The chips and fish were lovely but a large portion of chips was a bit on the small side! It's good that it doesn't come wrapped up in paper but in a cardboard take away box. Very nice fresh fish and chips. New update! We had a sit down meal it was amazing very happy will definitely go back! I had scampi and it was top quality!

Decent food, decent portions and good service. We dined in, was first stop off from Fishguard ferry when touring Wales by motorcycle. We both had cod and chips, despite being on the daily specials was normal price. But did seem to be very freshly cooked; we were waiting a short while and it was piping hot when it came out. Coleslaw was an especially nice addition. Coffee was also piping hot and decent. Dessert was apple/fruit crumble and cheesecake, both also good. Price was a bit on the upper end for my liking but I'd rather pay €20 for something I enjoy than €5 for something I don't. Recommended.

Best fish and chips ever, great service

Fantastic place. A really extensive menu, great service, and wonderful, freshly cooked food.

While we were walking around Aberaeron, we wanted something to eat. We noticed The New Celtic and went in. What a superb, clean and tidy place. We went past the serving counter into the seating area. We were shown to a table in the far window. On a good day the view would've been of the harbour but, unfortunately, there's a lot of refurbishment going on at the moment. Our order was taken [hunter chicken for me and prawns in garlic sauce for my wife. Both meals were well presented and delicious. The service was very friendly and attentive. The cost was extremely reasonable. We would thoroughly recommend the New Celtic.

Good fish and chips. We ate inside with fast intelligent service. Menu is wider than fish and chips. Good looking cakes. Plus if they are full there is a take away.

Came here yesterday evening (Saturday 20th July) and from the time we entered we were greeted by the most polite and happy staff! 7 of us in total so expected a bit of a wait but no, the food was with us quickly and everyone enjoyed! Delicious food, large portions excellent value for money!! Would highly recommend!!!

Much better food in the fish an chip shop on the high Stree

Had sunday roast I had beef very good

A good takeaway service. Dinning in is a bit pricey. Though the portions are large.

Veggie burger was lovely. No nonsense. Chips amazing as always.

Very friendly staff and lovely food, always go here when in town, we were really looked after. Great for gluten free too.

Opted for the Lamb..Packet meat 1st and last call.Really nice Staff.

Best breakfast I have had in a very long time and wonderful friendly service as well.

Great food at reasonable prices. Very friendly helpful staff

we have been stopping here for years for fish and chips. Utterly reliable and anticipated, our stop at Aberaeron has been for years the start of our holiday. Not this time - tiny fish (normally so generous) and chips no seasoning despite being specially requested. The main disappointment however was the size of fish which was really a joke, Stopping at Aberystwyth next time.

Very helpful to me today, a single person with a dog. Good service, good food and kindness

Popped into this restaurant a couple of days ago and we were glad we did. We got a lovely table by the window. Good service, fast and polite. We fancied something a bit plain so had sausage egg and chips which was delicious and very reasonably priced. The wine was also very good, Nice place

Really enjoyed the meal,we both had fish and chips with peas my husband had curry sauce, huge portions.it can get really busy on one occasion during the summer we have had to queue and wait a while to get in, which is a good sign. Also it is quite expensive for a fish and chip meal but really very nice.

Average food but expensive prices. Guy didn't know what drinks they served. Minimum effort of friendlyness and customer service.

Ordered three kid's meal where we were told that the curry was curry half and half (chips and rice) or full portion of rice or chips. The two kid's curry came out - one half and half and the other was rice only BUT the rice only was exactly the same size as the half snd half portion (rice and curry) but there was additional chips SO the portions were not equal!! My son ate his curry and rice - 4 mouthfuls for £7.95 but were told that they could only take a milkshake off the order because he had eaten it all!!! Absolutely disgraceful. We're regulars here but they've now lost four customers. Shameful portions and staff attitude poor.

You can't come to the seaside without having fish and chips (and 2 sausages for the dog) and there's no better place than The New Celtic Restaurant. Although the queue was nearly out the door - testament to the excellent freshly cooked food - I only had to queue 5 minutes for our food. Will be back again during the weekend

Busy chip shop, pleasant friendly staff. However, I was so disappointed with my food. I ordered chicken curry and chips. The curry wasn’t your normal chip shop curry it tasted like a masala sauce you get out of jar from Aldis. There’s was only 3 pieces of chicken. The chicken was cubes of meat like the chicken you use from a frozen bag. I would have taken it back, but I didn’t realise this till I got back home to eat this. After a couple of bites I had to throw it in the bin. As this was not to my liking. I’m m such a huge curry lover 😔 sadly disappointing and still hungry

Top notch food and reasonable prices. Service was good too.

Have visited Aberaeron many times but have not been here. Friendly welcome on arrival, decided on cheese and leek rissole with chips and baked beans for myself and, sausage/egg/chips and beans for my Husband. Very tasty and a good portion size but my rissole was quite cold inside. I can eat food that’s not hot so not really a problem for me but some people might not like it. Lovely cappuccino coffees and very good service so would definitely return.

Best takeaway fish I’ve ever had- fresh and made to order

This is a modern and stylish looking restaurant / fish & chips shop / ice cream shop! It's clean and possibly one of the nicest shops I have visited during my travels in the UK. I purchased 1 large cod & chips that was supplied in a nice box and cost just over £10. Both the cod & chips were ok, however being an honest reviewer I cannot say they were the best fish & chips I have ever had, but they were certainly good. The cod wasn't as chunky or white as some I've had, the chips were a little dried up and varied in size, and the batter was not as crispy as some. But if you are in the area this is a very nice place to eat 😃

Huge fish and chips, very nicely cooked.

Really nice place and atmosphere, food was also excellent

Fantastic place for a good breakfast 👌

The perfect example of what it means to have a hearty meal that fulfils your hunger and soul. The veggies breakfast was absolutely spot on with freshly prepared , tasty meals . The unique flavour imparted by cheese in the vegetables sausage was a pleasant surprise. Even the tea and tomatoes tasted way better than any other meal I have had . The staff are lovely, patient and enthusiastic. Comfortable seating and warm ambience. Walking distance of all public car parks .a bit of a heads up - fried bread is included as default ( it is Wales after all !) make sure to request alternatives if that is not your thing. Will be back .

Had lovely Eggs Benedict with Latte, warm and welcoming staff, excellent service. Great Breaksfast to start your day!

Very friendly staff and good food

Had the must wonderful meal with our old parents. They had cod and chips, the wife had scampi and I had the burgers faggots and gravy with chips, which maybe had were the best I have eaten in years!

Visited today, lovely food, all hot and tasted fresh, chips were best chips we’ve had in a while, fast polite service, definitely good value for money - will be returning

Always great quality and excellent service! Our local government to restaurant. 😁 Why force me to write a minimof 100 characters? Idiotic !

Took my 1 year old daughter out for food which was lovely until the atmosphere was ruined when i realised there was no baby changing unit even though there was a sign for one on the toilet door. i had to change my child on the toilet floor which is extremely unhygienic. i appreciate there has been renovations but taking away a baby changing unit and still having the sign up for it is just awful. to anyone thinking of going here and you have young children then i don’t advise it as you will have to change them on the toilet floor.

Popped to aberaeron one day while staying in new quay,while wandering through the town we came across this place and had to pay a visit and so glad we did, has to be one of the best breakfast I've ever had and at a good price too. Highly recommended and ill definitely be back here

Excellent place to eat, best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Staff are always smiling and friendly, love the refurbishment. Everything cooked to perfection, can’t fault this place at all

I visited The New Celtic with my family for lunch today. My husband and I both agreed that it was the best fish and chips we’ve had in years. The chips in particular were absolutely delicious. The service was friendly, the pricing was really good value, and the location of the restaurant is fantastic - right by the harbour. We will definitely be back soon. There are a couple of things that families like ours might want to be aware of when planning your visit. First is that you may need to queue for a little while to get in. If you can keep the kids happy during that time, it is worth it! Second, they are in the process of refurbishing their toilets and there are currently no baby changing facilities. You need to go to the pub next door for nappy changes. Hopefully those facilities will be installed soon, but in the meantime if you have a baby you will need to take them next door.

Lovely place to go for food. Polite and friendly service, nice atmosphere and we all enjoyed our food. Katsu curry was one of the nicest i have ever had

Take away. Best fish & chips in Aberaeron.

Excellent. Very busy, but very efficient staff. Good value . Lovely setting. Right on the harbour.

You will have to travel a very long way to get better fish and chips than this place and I've had some goog ones worth a visit to Aberaeron just for the fish and chips here

Staying in the area over half term with the children. We visited 3 times over the course of the week, every time was brilliant. The staff were friendly, smiley and couldn’t do enough for you. From what we gathered, the restaurant has recently been refurbished and what a refit it is. It felt like home from home, comfortable, warm and inviting. We will definitely be back when we are in the area again. Well done! See you soon!

Not for me , I found chips under done , fish , batter was under cooked outside crispy , but inside not .

We've been going to the Celtic every month for the last 9 years but tonight was the worst service we've ever had! We had to wait 10 minutes to be seated, our drinks order was taken quite quickly but 30 minutes later we were still waiting for our food order to be taken. The table next to us had their food as we had our drinks, they'd even had their dessert order taken and brought to them whilst we were still waiting to have our food order taken. They've had a refurbishment done but the service was very poor, unfortunately, due to the poor customer service, we won't be back! Very disappointed!

Soggy mess. No care taken over the quality in winter. Chips taste like They were warmed up in a microwave

Fantastic takeaway fish and chips on sunny winters day. Good service, reasonable price. Cooked fresh. We didnt eat in but enjoyed the take out option. Diolch

Best fish and chips we've had for years well done to them 👍👏👏

Decided to pop on for breakfast on our way back from a couple of days away. We had seen this place on the first day and thought we must try. Service friendly, food hot and delicious, my egg was a little undercooked for my liking but each to their own. The premises are well kept and the view out onto the harbour is spectacular. A little gem in the middle of a beautiful unspoiled town.

Excellent menu, and very friendly and patient staff even on a busy Saturday lunchtime.
