Plassey Fish Bar in The Vale of Glamorgan

Still the best fish and chips in the vale

As always our gluten free and regular fish and chips were beautifully cooked, crisp, hot, tasty and very generous portions. Easy to order and collect. Highly recommend.

Reliable, town favourite for so many years. Always busy!

Usually lovely food but tonight the fish was awful and the chips were hard and a lot of scraps. Will definitely think twice before returning

Last Saturday popped up to get fish and chips. I was served by the owners son and he was very polite. How ever when I took my chips back because they were verging on ridiculously cold. He said to me that he would change the chips this time because it was my fault and my attitude was crap. Well he flicked my switch and I went from east to west in a split second. He then told me he would pay me £5 and a bag of chips to leave. My face started to twitch and isaid that bribery is illegal...so I left with another bag of chips. When I got home they were worse than the first bag. Surely selling cooked food thats supposed to be hot, and is not is a job for trading standards. And it looks like the tabards are passed arround by all the staff because they are filthy.

More than £5 for a large bag of chips to find was same size as a normal portion we ordered. £15 fish an chips for an average tasting meal?? Maybe just me missing something?

Great chippy, really good for Gluten free as well.

This chip shop has gone right downhill. Dried out pies and pasties all the time and todays special was undercooked chips

The meals of 2 cod and a single chips was the worse fish and chips ever purchased I have not bought from this restaurant for some years it has obviously changed hands since Georgio's All wet greasy batter hardly any fish and the chips were soggy with grease I will not be going there again

Chips wre hard no tast posably reheated had before and the food was outstanding.

I don't throw away food but I couldn't eat such bad fish. My girlfriend didn't say a good word about the chicken either

Beautiful food, reasonably priced, well worth a visit, great staff

Went here for gluten free fish and chips. Server reassured me it was gluten free and cooked separately. They had info on the walls about allergens in each dish. However, I was then feeling unwell straight after, so perhaps there was some cross contamination or not 100% gluten free. Very tasty, but perhaps not for you if you are coeliac.

Great fish and chips. Fast delivery. Do gluten free

Fish bites were ridiculous… where’s the fish?? Greasy and just batter! Chips were also greasy and I won’t be returning! How did they win an award? Wasn’t on quality that’s for sure!!

Rubbish service was in there half an hour they was doing everyone else’s orders before mine even tho they came in after me

Tasteless fish, not the best potatoes for chips but otherwise OK. Charmless service

Good size portions of chips, ordered 2x small chips 1x battered sausage and 1x chicken mushroom pie. Portions of chips were a good size, and of good quality. Chicken mushroom was nice coming out of the range with a good crisp and not soggy like others who just heat in a microwave. They also take cards for payment too which was very convenient

Very helpful staff, on time order, gluten free option is SUPER helpful. Regular fish and chips were a bit mushy, but appreciated none the less

Thick oily batter, average chips

Usually Plassesy Fish bar very good - however on this occasion, I ordered Gluten Free plaice and chips, amongst other things and when we got home and started eating it - well the fish and batter was so salty it was completely inedible and we had to throw it out. The other items were fine - it was just the plaice. So my partner called the shop to tell them and ask for a refund on the plaice and they flatly refused - in fact they were rude and unhelpful. It’s outrageous to treat customers like that. They have now lost these regular customers and I will be advising friends and family to give Plasseys a wide berth! From now on! 0/10 - definitely not approved.

10/10 every time. Our go to fish and chip shop, we wouldn't go anywhere else. Batter is excellent, curry is sauce i great and the chips are the best around

Pie and chips well worth buying. Shame the prices wasn’t back to 1970

Very tasty food. Hot and quick service

Very busy store due to the popularity it's gained, great but not the best in my opinion food if you don't mind waiting

The worst batter. Like road in the hole but with fish 🤮

A family take out from plassey fish bar recommended as we are new to the area ....... Overall rating is poor due to the quality of the Cod that's if it is cod 3 potions ordered ?.... service was quick in fairness on a very busy evening. I would rather have waited for better quality fish .... The chips were OK irish curry sauce and battered sausage good ...

I can honestly say everytime I go here people are queuing out of the door. Food is great, we usually have the fish and chips. It's freshly made, huge portions.

The chips and (battered) sausages are always good but if you're ordering anything with chicken it's often very poor quality. Although the service is always good and (as long as you don't order anything with chicken), the food is up to the standard of a local fish and chip place

Always easy to order and ready to collect. Best chip shop in Penarth. Very impressed with the gluten free food

rubbery chips to long under heat grey fish same problem all went straight in food bin notified chipbar they offered to sought it out

We had a delivery on 14th February 2023 for 6 people. It was a large order. Sadly it was stone cold when it arrived. We raised it with the manger who was dismissive and offered no apology or recompense. We have used this fish and chip shop for many years but no more.

Food wasn't hot, delivery was almost an hour later than expected. Disappointed

After phoning 4 times to see where our food was it turned up barely warm. Went to the wrong house was told would make fresh and be with us within 15 minutes. 30 minutes after that it turned up. Wont order again

Our delivery was 30 minutes late, even though I had a notification 15 minutes before delivery due that my order was on its way. The food was more lukewarm-cold, it wasn't enjoyable unfortunately.

Good quality food, very generous portions!

The food bought here recently was truly disappointing compared to other visits in the past. We fancied fish & chips and here is our go to place when in the area. You couldn’t identify the Cod as ordered, although it was okay to eat there was no skin on it at all and it was oblong shaped. To me it looked like it had been thinly cut from a frozen block of fish on a bandsaw, not the usual chunky and flakey fillet of Cod with skin on bought on previous visits. I’m an experienced fisherman and know the different fish skins served in fish & chip shops a thing I look for when consuming a fish dish. The meal was very greasy and not even one chip had any crispness to it at all, needless to say most of it went in the bin !!!

Cod & chips in a box! Chips cold, batter rubbery and too thick. Tasteless

The app had said the food had been delivered, when it had not. Food was cold.

Excellent. My son and I had Sea Bass and chips which was superb. The chips were perfect and the sea bass battered and cooked to perfection. There are even three choices of curry sauce flavour.

Lovely food. Large chips not very generous this time & slightly late. Won’t stop us ordering again though thanks

was really looking forward to this fishsupper with my son but unfortunately food arrived stone cold curry spilt everywhere really disappointed it was inedible will never order again.

Food barely warm, almost 2 hours to deliver from order and pasty was dried out and of poor quality..... Will not be ordering again.

Chicken curry. The chicken was absolutely vile.

Very busy chip shop, the fish and chips were lovely, the staff just need to smile a bit more

Chose a busy time but the queue moved. Staff cheerful and food portion’s excellent.

Always good service from Plassey Fish Bar

Hit and miss. Cold again this time...

Best fish and chips I have ever had in my life

Very cold reception by staff, chips very average, fish awful 😖 terrible smell batter was thick and full of oil . The only good thing was the curry sauce

Delicious, gluten free fish and chips.

When we got home we noticed that they had not included two pie we had ordered. We had to go back and get them and staff weren’t apologetic.

Perfect place for fish and chips ! Excellent value for money and the food is the best all round. Top service too.. You may find a bit of a cue here but that goes to show the quality of their food which keeps people coming back and its always fresh. There is no dine in service here. Park anywhere you can find parking. Enjoy

Bland chicken and uncooked chips

Fish chips and curry sauce ! Square shaped fish? what’s that about, dripping in yellow fat, definitely wasn’t cod took the dripping wet batter off the fish as it was inedible the fish was the same processed fish as in a cheap fish finger , never again, gone right down the pan , wont have a go about the gloopy curry sauce, chips were average

Really disappointed under cooked chips and awful tasting anemic looking chicken breasts . Had to cook chips in our air fryer for another 7 minutes. They were very busy at 18.30 but need to improve. Won’t go there again 😒

Absolutely fabulous and has awards for there food and they deserve the Awards for sure you won't be disappointed 😜👍🏼

The food was 20 minutes late and cold!

Gravy like water overall bland food but not terrible if your looking to fill your stomach with some stodge go here but if it's a tasty chippy maybe visit their competition down the road

Great service, and arrived much earlier than expected plus still piping hot

Food was very good, but there was no small fish and the guy wouldn't half a large fish which would of been easy enough so had no choice but to spend extra money on food that was going to be wasted. Could of been a little bit accommodating.

Best fish and chips in Penarth. Certainly 100% better than the Posh chip shop around the corner. Queues are usually long here but that's because everyone loves it. Portion sizes are brilliant, fish is mostly cooked fresh especially when busy. Prices are very competitive and service is quick. I certainly recommend this place!

I did ask for salt and vinegar, but they must’ve have the tub of salt on all of my food🤢

Good value for money. Great chips and huge portion of fish.

I have been using this chip shop for the last 25 years. I've always had good food and don't use another chippy in Penarth. I ordered takeaway as I was busy and the chips were underdone massively, some hard and cold in the middle! Not sure if there was new staff or something but really disappointing.

Hardly any gravy with the faggots ! Actually had to make some - disappointing

Great gluten free food choices. Good non meat options. Good size portions. Very good prices. Food clearly labelled "Gluten free" etc. Staff very open with customers and open to answer any questions

Amazing chippy. Classic feeling and food nostalgia is here

All lovely.Chicken was just a little dry.

The best fish and chips for miles! A huge cod, lovely fresh chips and the best Irish curry sauce too. A little pricey, it's the area, but totally worth it. Collect and drive on up to Penarth front to sit and people watch 😋👀

Lovely food, staff very miserable and ignorant.

Cool soggy and tasteless disappointing after seeing good reviews

Only half the order was delivered - nice food but missing portion of chips

Friendly staff, always a queue of people. Staff don't give receipts and will ask for customers orders in batch even before serving everyone, so can get busy and confusing to receive your order and staff get confused too.

Make sure you get them to triple check the order because twice just isn’t enough. Missing items and wrong items !!!

Thoroughly recommend the Sea Bass, absolutely superb.

Fish and chips at its best, nice big portions and reasonably priced.

Was horrible. Tasteless slop in a bag

The Clarks pie was so dry I couldn't eat it, the filling was all dry, cold and slightly overcooked chips

They are short changing thieves i used a £20 note to pay for £4.70 pie and chips. They gave me £10.30 back I challenged them about this and they refused to pay me the remaining £5. So I left

Food was cold upon arrival. Had to heat in the microwave. We ordered fish cakes and one on them was burnt on the bottom.

The best! Wonderful fish and chips.

The food is always of lovely quality here, however I have to say that it seems the prices are going up but the portions are getting smaller. Disappointing.

Was really late and forgot two of my curry sauces but good food

All lovely, little late but due to reasons beyond their control i.e. traffic.Driver was appologetic, friendly and polite.

New staff are less friendly but the chips are still great.

Our favourite chippy in Penarth. Well cooked fresh food. Generous portions. Not always a parking space outside so you may have to circle the block. Go and sit on the clifftop and watch the sea and ships.

No curry sauce which was disappointing especially as it was paid/charged for. The rest was nice, but not sure why this was missed

I had a very small chips and very cold not happy with the order

Ordered food at 5.10 to be delivered at 6.30pm, got message at 6.30 will be delayed. 6.40 got message to say food on way. 7.10pm still not hear called plassy street chippy to be told button to say on way pushed in error. The shop spoke to driver who said is 3 to 4 minutes away. Food arrived just over 15minutes later and was luke warm at best not great given what we spent on fish and chips.

Ordered on the app. Delivered to wrong address. 3rd time from this shop and every one has been wrongly delivered. They do not look at delivery time request.

Bought gluten free fish and chips for my wife. She said they were very tasty. And would definitely order again

Ordered fish and chips and a few other items and they missed the fish off the order. Quite important. When I rang up the did deliver it 15 minutes later.

Excellent service, Top quality food, Tasty and fresh, Would highly recommend this fish bar with friendly efficient staff.

This evening, I ordered a chip butty, large chips, rice and beans from Plasseys fish bar. Unfortunately although we were served first as there was no one else in the fish shop when we entered, we were the last people to receive our order. 4 people came in after us and they all received their food before us. I have no idea why this was. The person behind us had a similar size order including fish. We were given no explanation as to why we were made to wait for 15 minutes and received our order after people behind us in the queue had been served. The individual serving offered no explanation and it’s unlikely I will return as a result of this service.

Took 40 minutes for food to arrive when we're 20 minutes away, we had to pay by cash so surely the driver would have change?? Not in this case, wasn't enough change so we had to give more money, also sarcastic comment from driver, you'll have your money back if I remember?? Lost our custom.

1st order delivered when not at home. Ordered for 19.45 delivered 19.20. Not home so waited extra 25 mins. This is the second time this has happened

Ordered for my elderly mother in law. There was an issue with her getting to door but it got resolved and the fish bar were willing to go out their way to sort it. Thanks!

The chips were very cold. The fish was nice but the batter was very greasy. Too expensive for the quality.

Unfortunately, food was stone cold on arrival. Good portion size but unpleasant having had to reheat.
