I came down from BIrmingham today to visit my brother who said I will take you to a nice take out fish and chip place. Which was Iestyns in sabastopool Gwent. What a fantastic fish and chips best I have had in ages crispy batter the cod fish was huge so tasty not oily lovely tasting chips. I was brought up in Cwmbran moved away 40 years ago. The taste reminded of the good old fish and chips we used to have. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Would definitely visit again.

My new favourite chippy! Food is amazing! Great portions, lovely and welcoming, too! If you have never been please go! Well worth the travel! Located by the canal where you can always enjoy having a scenic walk! Or short drive to the Pontymoile Basin! Let's not forget about the Boat Lake in Cwmbran. Great location! Wherever you decide to have your food, you'll be well pleased! 5*

Terrible food! After fancying a minced beef pie for a few weeks, we decided to call in to Paige’s for a takeaway meal. Chip shop food is not our usual preference, but thought we would give it a try. We ordered a steak and kidney pie, minced beef pie and large chips. When we got home with the food it was cold, and the minced beef pie turned out to be what I think was a chicken pie. I say I think it was a chicken pie because it was just a congealed mess with no evidence of any chicken. The chips were cold and all mushed together and very greasy, needless to say it went in the bin. Never again!

I have used this place for many many years for all different varieties of food. From a bag of chips when peckish to a full meal for all the family. You won't find better than this well established business anywhere. I have travelled all around the UK on business and yet to find anywhere that comes close to this place. Not only is the food and produce of the highest quality, the staff are too. Always busy working and serving but always have time to engage with their much valued customers. Many businesses are always focused on making money but not too keen on giving back. This business is the opposite of that, they regularly support the community with offers such as bags of chips at 1p a portion. You have to go there and try for yourself. You won't find better.

Apart from the customer service from the lady at the back of the kitchen, the lady serving I thought her service was trendful, it was a zombie expression. The chips were that hard and cold we just threw them away. It was rubbish.

£10 for fish and chips? Came down from Blaenavon for food but for that price I turned right back around. I have tried the food before and it is okay so it's not a quality issue and staff are decent but £10 without considering a drink or perhaps a pot of curry ect it's a little bit on the high side. Hopefully the prices come down a little bit soon and I can return to try again. I'm sure the chip shop staff can justify their costs somehow but as a customer I can't see £10 for fish and chips being good balue for money. It's great that the chip offers promotions occasionally and I'm sure people capitalise on that but in general if a customer is outside of that promotional scope then things can get expensive quickly, especially for a family meal as an example.

We are regulars and normally love the fish and chips from here but last week we both had cod and chips and it was very poor, batter was soft and gooey and I have no idea what the fish was but it certainly didn't taste like cod. Both of us said it was completely tasteless and has put us off from returning.

Food was okay but I didn't get what I ordered. I ordered via click and collect, which wasn't ready for the time I picked. Got home and realized something they'd forgotten something from my order and when I sat down to eat they'd given us the wrong pies. A large chips was quite small in comparison to other local chippies. Staff were friendly however.

This was my first visit as a new resident. Please avoid! The chips were mostly black and pale and incredibly greasy. We threw more chips out for black marks than we actually ended up eating. The fish was okay but the ladies serving were looking really fed up and unimpressed! Overall a terrible experience and we had to go back out to get different food. This place looks nice but possibly the worst quality chips I’ve ever had! The good ones didn’t even taste good! It is a shame and I hope for them it improves.

Ignore when I went in despite staff waiting for food to cook and no one else waiting. No acknowledgement of my presence and left to wait for ages to order despite all staff being free and nothing busy. Such shame. Left and went to pages in cwmbran who were brilliant! So sad.

We were really looking forward to a fish and chip dinner. Two mouthfuls and it went in the bin. Greasy and soggy chips, dry fish (even the dog didn't want it). Food seemed like it had been left over since lunch time. Absolutely gross.
