Phil's News & Cafe / The Tasty Plaice in Bridgend

I always enjoy going to Phils Cafe . Excellent food at very reasonable prices . The staff are excellent friendly and helpful . If you're in the Bridgend area call in you will not be disappointed...

Excellent food but expensive for amount given.

Credit crunch breaking absolutely fab quality and value for money fast service good staff dropped the car off for a service 👏 👍

brilliant every time Been there again today Great service Great food

Always great portion sizes, amazing quality and friendly service. Best fish and chips in Bridgend in my opinion

Cheap nasty breakfast, made the boys sick all day bacon that was gone over date , tastes dead sick

Love coming to this place food is always served hot better than most restaurants

Great place ...always rely on phils.. top food perfect cuppa

Best fish & chips in Bridgend. Always fresh, always hot, always excellent taste.

Nipped in with my mam after a busy day to get some food we had fish, chips and curry sauce. I never leave reviews but I had to because honestly it was the NICEST fish and chips I’ve ever had. Fresh, tasty, and the staff were so lovely 🥰 definitely be back ❤️

Lovely Bacon butty and a cuppa. Nice.

The fish and chips is cracking!

A valued commodity of Bridgend Industrial Estate, with lovely staff

Great smiling faces at Phil's. Fab service with nothing too much trouble, fresh, tasty food.

Cafe with an above average service and food. It may not look much from the outside, but this bustling little cafe offers much more on the inside. The servers are quick and efficient, the food is great value and the coffee served from the espresso machine, well that's tops off a great meal.

Stopped by while my car is having its windscreen replaced by the nearby National Windscreens - quite an unusual (in a good way!) cafe which also doubles up as a shop / news agents. Not seen anything like it before, quite a tidy little business model. I had some food in the cafe, jumbo sausage in batter and some chips and the portion size was fantastic and really filling. The chips were really nice and not greasy like some places and the jumbo sausage in batter was also cooked to the same perfection, plenty of taste and not greasy. Would recommend a visit and would return in future if I am ever in Bridgend again 😄

My regular for a chippy tea ever since I moved to Bridgend 6 years ago. Happy to travel from Broadlands, despite closer Fish n Chip shops. Had double cod and chips last night, huge portions, freshly cooked and perfectly cooked chip shop chips. Great value considering increased takeaway prices over the past few years. Really cheery and friendly young lass served me too.

Best cafe around the food was excellent and the service was outstanding, will be going back many times

Lovely place, lovely food, brilliant price

Lovely food, massive portions! Could definitely have shared a portion of chips between two! Fishcake were very tasty and the curry sauce was the best we’ve had. Two portions of chips, two fishcakes, a bread roll and two cans of pop came to £15.

Used to love this place when I worked in the area so popped in today when passing. Lady serving had an attitude and charged me extra as I wanted my battered sausage wrapped separately to my curry chips and cheese. Overall was very poor value compared to how it used to be £7.85 for small chips curry sauce nd cheese with a battered sausage and portion was very small. Ohhh well I wont make a detour next time im in the area.

Food was very nice how ever as we are sat down eating our breakfast one minute late one of the staff comes round with a hover and we couldn't even enjoy a conversation

Best fish n chips in Wales by a long way!!

They are very friendly and great service

Excellent cod & chips, and very good value (half what you might pay in London). Suggestion - options of fish other than Cod would be great. The best f&c I ever had was Alaskan Pollock. But even Haddock would be great, and takes the pressure off the poor old Cod!

Best chippy in the area, staff are extremely friendly, good prices , shop attached useful too

Best Cafe and Chip Shop in miles . Highly recommended!

Decent cafe not great food but good 😋

The opening times are wrong. The café is open much earlier than 11am. I recommend the freshly cooked breakfast. 👍 Edit: just paid another visit. Small price increase but still a great breakfast.😋

Good food, good service Down to earth people All the staff are great 👍

Recommended ham, egg & chips! Good food 😋 & sensibly priced menu.

Always find that the staff are really friendly, cheerful and helpful. Food is always hot and tasty.

Best chip shop I know and great coffee!

Great food, service, and a place to sit.

Fabulous poached eggs on toast. 🍳

Good brekky. Can't fault the service. Does depend on when you go in how the foods cooked though as been a few times, and sometimes it's better than others.

What a wonderful little cafe , derives was amazing not to much hassle at all for anyone , spotlessly clean even down to the facility’s , an abouslite please to be there will come again any time p

Supplied the food for year 6 prom party. Easy to order, food delivered hot, labelled, and most importantly everyone enjoyed the food. Thank you

Breakfasts are good. Fish and chips are average though. Batter on the fish is very floury and has no crispness to it.

Great for breakfasts, mags, fags and booze. Fresh sandwiches and salads made to order.

Great food and staff are friendly.

Not bad at all for a nice breakfast, only problem is it can get quite busy at times and that can lead to a lengthy wait. Other than that it is good value for money & plenty of parking right outside.

Chips, cheese and beans - best place to get them!

I dined in and the food is beautiful you won't eat in a better place and the staff are so polite and helpful me and my son love it there we go for our fish and chips every Saturday it's worth every penny and everything is fresh I have tryed breakfast rolls and their full breakfast beautiful food

Best place for breakfast, lunch or snacks from shop plus open all day 👌

The best fish and chips for miles around in my opinion. Lovely piece of fish in a delicious batter.

Fast friendly service. Good quality food

Still excellent value for money

The food was delicious and the service was amazing♥️

Adam n Tyler Had The l cod chips and mushy peas .. fantastic quolity Thoughly recommend ..lovely friendly staff

Delicious food, lots of gluten free options, takeaway, delivery and lovely staff

Lovely fish and chips cooked while you wait. Very generous portions, excellent quality. Use this place fairly regularly always satisfied. Considering cost of living, supply increases etc, price is not too bad.

One of the best breakfasts around 10/10

Come down Wednesday 2 of December had small fish and chips and a can of coke was charged 11 20 which I thought was deer didn't say anything because they were very busy will definitely watch next time

Very nice service, nice food, very tidy and clean. Lovely jubly good bruddy rubry.

Try this place out, you'll be very happy, excellent service every time I've visited there too.

Decent breakfast for price, friendly staff and service parking very convenient 👍

Nice food and quick service. Only criticism is credit crunch breakfast was a little on the small side compared to what it said on menu and bacon was not the best

Newsagents and a chippie with sitting in available, always busy as its very popular.

Friendly staff,quick service value for money.

Great food, good prices and big portions. Staff are friendly and good service is guaranteed. Probably not the place you would expect to find a fish and chip shop but it works! Park right outside and if you need to wait, you can go back to the car and have it brought out to you! The "plaice" to go....(!)

brilliant service lovely food 👌

THE BEST CHIPS I've had in a long time, and I like my chips!

Great service..fish and chips carried out to our van in the carpark!!! Delicious and great value, friendly lady who served us,would definitely visit again.

Lovely food. Fish cooked fresh. My favourite chippy in Bridgend ❤️

Very lovely and prompt service. Offered my son a wet wipe as we'd just been for a hair cut. They had no small sausages left so gave my son a jumbo sausage which he was extremely happy with lol.

Phil's Cafe was the first place I called on my way home from 9 months working overseas. The best value for money fish and chips in the Bridgend area. I wish they would open up in Dubai.

The service was very good as was the food, it was all freshly cooked. The portions were of a good size and priced fairly. Thank you.

Very good place. Phil cooks a good fry up

Brilliant breakfast, well worth the money

Fantastic food, always fresh and piping hot. Great service and a fab choice of food from salads/rolls, breakfasts and chip shop food. Easy to park and lovely staff.

Tried his fish and chips last night excellent quality polite staff and a fair price and good parking facilities always recommend ROB C

Great food & awesome staff. Nice range and the prices aren't crazy.

Food is normally very good. Fresh and hot. Staff are friendly and helpful.

In all honest one of the best fry ups and chippy in the bridgend area

Always first choice when I'm in the area!

Brill breakfast all staff was brill food was hot

Fantastic service and very good food and much more in there. Awesome place

Good little cafe and shop, prices are a little expensive but the food is good.

Great chips and curry sauce with a fab mug of tea

Try the fish and chips, absolutely amazing

Lovely chippy. I was starving at work and decided to have a pie and chips.

Food is good but it is getting to be too expensive there. When I order the same order the price ranges from £3.75 to £7.65. I always ask beforehand how much it will be so I can change my mind if they decide to charge whatever they want that day!

Pay way to much for a small breakfast.Coffee way to strong with no extra milk on tables. I wouldn't recommend.

Decent fish, chips and curry sauce without paying a fortune for a measly portion 😎

Great food. I go here most days. They are happy to take large orders

Always have fish and chips from here when we come home to visit the parents. Huge portions :-)

Great place to grab some food and a paper for the racing.

Lovely place and lovely staff always a warm welcome. Take away salads and rolls and lovely to. Highly recommended

Nice breakfast and speedy service

Great place friendly staff great food

Always a good portion and really friendly staff.
