Delicious cod and chips, really good sized cod. It's always busy here as the food is so good. As the cod is normally cooked fresh to order, would be helpful if the staff asked asked you on arrival if you wanted cod, rather than wait when you get to the front of the queue. This would reduce waiting time. However, the 20 minute wait was worth it. Staff are always so friendly

After watching a rugby match we walked to the main road and decided to go into the Risca Fish Bar to get our supper. What none of us expected was to purchase chips which had been cooked to absolute perfection. They were superb: so good that three of our group went back for more. The other items we had were good but the chips made the meal.

Thought i had found a good chippy, until one day in Jan 22 i ordered my usual with a buttered roll. There was a young man working there that day. I asked for a roll and he picked it up with his bare hands. This is when covid was high. I said i cant believe you just done that with all the covid rules they had in place. The lad found it funny and said they butter the rolls with no gloves anyway. So basicly telling me what you dont see they dont care about. It wasent taken seriously, I got my hair off and told them i will not be back. Also the batter on my cod was soggy and NOT crisspy. Big fish down the road is worse. If you want a good chippy in Risca then its Churchels all the way. Also there is a good one in ty-sign ive yet to try.

Historical the fish and chips were first class in the last month or so fish has been all batter and very little fish and the chips have been cold and looked as if they were cooked much earlier and warmed up. It has put me off fish and chips

We were travelling from Warwickshire back to Dorset along the M5. We felt a detour over the bridge and down the M4 was an opportunity too good to miss to treat ourselves to lunch from the Risca Fish Bar. As we were nearing Newport, I asked my wife to phone ahead to order our meals. Worryingly, there was no answer and I was now thinking the place might not be open for whatever reason. We still carried on with our plan driving up the A467. As we approached Risca Fish Bar we found our fears were unfounded as the front door was open and open for business. Phew ! Not a wasted detour. Our usual, including, Cod, chips burger in batter and Irish Curry Sauce went down a treat. Oh yes I asked about the "heartstopper" when the phone was not answered and I was told they had a really busy half hour and couldn't get to the phone. The moral of the story. If you don't get an answer on the phone, don't worry, keep the faith and make the trip down there !

Visited Risca fish bar on 08 - 06 - 2021 and purchased 2 x cod and chips to take away ( £12.75 ). Living quite close, the fish and chips were on the plate within 10 minutes. It became immediately obvious that the fish had been cooked a long time before we were served such that the batter was hard and brittle and any attempt to cut through it would simply result in the batter disintegrating. As for the fish itself this was discoloured from being kept under heat after cooking, difficult to cut and devoid of any moisture. Still find it difficult to believe that staff served such terrible food. Never again!

Lockdown to Wales finished on the 12th April. We were at the Risca Fish Bar on the 15th ! Good Covid precautions were in place and well instructed. Having waited many months we made the trip to Wales at out earliest opportunity to enjoy lunch from the Risca Fish Bar. We were not disappointed, we never are. Excellent fish and chips and the compulsory "Irish Curry" sauce. Well worth the trip as always and we shall make the trip again soon.

Desperate for this "lock-down" to end. I would make the 93 mile trip just for a sniff of the Irish Curry on a sausage in batter.So pleased we visited about a month ago before all this started. It was as good as I always remember it If they had been open on Sunday I would have been there again too ! I am counting down the days and can't wait for the Risca Fish Bar to open again.

When I get a yearning to go to the Risca Fish Bar it is quite serious. It means about a 220 mile round trip from Dorset. We made the trip being a little worried that they would be open only 2 days after Christmas. We arrived early, so we used the time wisely visiting my 93 year old Auntie. At about 11.45am I phoned ahead and placed a telephone order. We arrived at 12 noon, the meal was all present and correct. Their meals never disappoint and this was no exception. Hot, flavoursome and the fish perfectly cooked (as was everything else) We took a brief stroll around Risca before making the home journey to Dorset. On studying the local history came to the conclusion that Risca Fish Bar must be the greatest gift and asset to the people of Risca since the gifting of Tredegar Ground Park to the people of Risca in 1903 ! It was a three and a half hour drive home, but worth every mile !

What's more, the fish and chips are delicious and receive many compliments from our patrons.

I have been visiting the Risca fish bar for over 50 years under various ownerships. My family all originating from Risca, we visit here three or four times a year. This place has everything, flavour, good sized portions and friendly service. You can't go wrong with this place. Risca has a few good fish and chip shops, but this is the best. Ask about "Irish Curry Sauce" I always do !

The food is great , but the owner needs to sack one female older member of his staff, totally rude, arrogant and abrupt. Example " what you see is what we got " " tell the next customer who comes , that's it, we're closed " this comment was directed to a younger member of the staff. Sorry but it needs to be said.. But the food is great .

Being accustomed to the fish and chips in Scotland I was amazed that at 9 in the evening they had one piece of fish left and chips had been in hot cabinet for a while. If you were in Scotland they would have cooked fresh for you and you were prepared to wait - no such suggestion here - maybe it’s a welsh thing.

Never a bad meal. Always fresh, they will even cook WOT they hav' nt got in the range, that you really would like. Not expensive, good management/owner nice staff. Busy dinner times, as they have a small cafe .But they don't keep you hanging about in the shop or cafe. All round experience for many years 100% . Well done "risca fish bar." Here's to many more happy, and good years, for yourselves and your customers. 👍...
