Risca Fish Bar in Caerphilly

Great food at a very good price, Staff friendly

The guys are great here. Really friendly. Good food and good prices. The only place to get my favourite pineapple fritters.

Always a great meal from this place! My husband's favourite. Sad that the seating area is always closed.

Really nice food and it's opposite a park you can sit and eat your food. Highly recommended.

Easily my favourite chip shop in this area. The service is very good and the food and portion sizes are also good.

Always made to feel welcome and appreciated as a customer, good portion sizes, plenty of variety. Won’t use another chippy

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

Friendly people,served with a smile,Yummy Fish and chips,very good price compared to London.

Chips were soggy; but the cod was good..

Really nice fish shop, very friendly and talkative. Will let you know how long the food will be if you have to wait. Fish waa lovely and their curry sauce is how it should be - delicious. Will go back!!!😊 😊

Love the fish chips go there every time go to risca

Always great service and fresh tasty chips

Fab food . Great staff . Service is brill . Its a Must for a visit

The best chips in risca always loved this place growing up and I left risca for about 7 years recently moved back and it’s still the goat

Nice food , friendly welcoming staff

Awesome, friendly lady served us and very nice Irish spicy curry and chips with jumbo sausage. Would recommend 1👍

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.

Generous portions, good quality, friendly staff and reasonably priced. What more can you ask for?

Great service and work well up to scratch

Only had chips but probably the best chips I've ever had

Good food great staff always in their

Amazing chips, great service, love that they have 2 collection points to maintain social distancing and only allow 2 customers in at once, very friendly. Will be going back!

Lovely fresh cooked fish although a little greasy and the chips could have done with a bit longer. But still enjoyed

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

Great service Food was really nice seasoned well piping hot .The sausage in batter was tasty , not too much batter and hot till the very last bite .I will definitely eat here again

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 !

Fantastic food and service go there once or twice a week

Stunning food. Excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend

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!

My fish and chips very good, fish just right. But! My wife's pie under cooked or warmed, hard pastry.

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.

Nice food, Terrible service from the male behind the counter

The fish was freshly cooked and was very tasty.

Best fish and chips.. Chips are a fabulous taste You won't be disappointed

I will only ever get my chips from here. The staff are always lovely, chips always perfect, good portion size. Their COVID set up is easy to read and use. Highly recommended !!

Great food GREAT service reasonably priced

Always lovely food and very friendly

Greasy chips, tiny portions - overpriced. Better off going down the road to Big Fish or Churchill's

Had what looked to be a nice size peice if cod, was dissapointed to find it was all batter and very little fish. Chips are nice but very stingy portions for the price. Average at best.

Good quality food. Considering the current situation (Covid) the shop is well set out and only 2 allowed in at a time. And, the staff are lovely.

Chips were very good. Service was also good. Cost was good also. All in all a good experience

Lovely food well worth going to

Excellent quality and portions friendly owner and staff first class always been my regular chippy

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.

Currently here just had a cheese burger and chips wow tasted very nice staff very nice and welcoming will definitely come back and also reccomend to anyone in the area top job

We haven't been here for a few months being a two hour drive away. We will have to phone ahead and make the trip. Other places just aren't up to the mark compared to here !

Never fails lovely food fun staff, use this place a lot.

Great meal very helpful staff.reasonable prices

Leighton and his colleague provided a mix of fish and chips and sausage and chips for 60 people complete with a lend of vinegar and salt cellars, napkins and plastic forks. All packed up in boxes and red hot and bang on time. Excellent quality food.

Lovely fish shop, first time we tried here and will defo be going back, chips were lovely highly recommend, can not wait to try the fish in better

Good fish and chips. Friendly staff who know how to make conversation..( and a bit of banter)

One of the best fish bars around. Run be an amazing team!

Irish curry is the best from here

Excellent food and service and spotlessly clean.

Lovely chips. Nice clean shop. The Irish curry is so tasty. Conveniently situated right in the middle of Risca and oposit the Park.

Great chippy..good service Nice portions Family love it here In risca town centre walk from the park Would recommend

Best chippy for miles! Friendly and helpful staff, perfect chips and really crispy batter. Yum Yum.

You have to decide what you want when your there as don't know what food is ready. Chips mostly cold and pale. Service fine. But like the heading states hit and miss regarding quality

Need to change oil pie pasties and curry nice chips looked good but tasted stale oil

Always a fantastic meal here highly recommend

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 !

Came here because of the reviews and the reviews are the this place is the best fish and chips I've ever had!! Knockout

Leighton and his staff have been generously supporting our local charity fund-raising event for many years, providing us very reasonably-priced fish and chips with prompt and reliable delivery. What's more, the fish and chips are delicious and receive many compliments from our patrons. If you want a fantastic meal and/or you want to support a business that supports its community, Risca Fish Bar should be your choice! Janet Evans Rhiwderin

Good food friendly staff highly recommended

Husband has been a customer for life, now my fave too!

I have been going here for years. Great chips, friendly staff.

Stunning Fish, Chips, Curry Sauce and a nice cup of tea, can’t beat it. Really tasty, filling and fab service too. Thank you xx

Phoned the Risca Fish Bar ahead knowing when we would be back to Risca after a 400 mile journey. It was a great meal as usual. fresh and tasty, complimented by a bottle of Dandelion and Burdock ! This place can't be beaten when it comes to fresh fish and chips. We knew we were home !

Probably the best fish and chips in Risca

Great chip shop and staff are very nice and friendly

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 !

Been coming to this chippy for years. Nearly always a queue, which is a great sign for a good chippy. I have coeliac disease (gluten free) but have never found a problem with the Chips or the cheese and chips, which is what I normally have. Family tell me how good the cod and sausage in batter is !

Beautiful fish and chips. I like the fact that they have 3 different size for a portion of chips. Great friendly staff that serve you quickly

Enjoyed the meal, good old fashioned fish and chips and polite staff.

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 .

Really nice food. Never had a bad meal. One of the best chip shop in the area. Highly recommend.

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.

Its a 215 mile round trip for us. Knowing what time we would arrive at the Risca Fish Bar we ordered ahead. Our fish, chips and not forgetting the irish curry were timed and cooked to perfection as usual. Service with a smile was appreciated too after the long drive.

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. 👍...

Best Irish curry sauce around!! In fact best chippy around chips always nice and cooked properly!

Esperamos volver a Risca para conseguir nuestra cena. Vale la pena también. Una comida estupenda, todo. Como de costumbre. Habiendo perfeccionado italiano elegante café para servir, el personal son ahora capaces de escribir en galés, "saveloy savaloy"! Ahora con la entrega de la acera!

Always a freshly cooked quality assured meal here. We drive many miles for it. The Irish Curry sauce is something else. Don't believe me ? See photo !

Another great fish and chip lunch, complete with "Irish Curry" sauce. The younger staff need to learn a bit of Italian so they can serve a Latte or Capuccino ! Worth the trip everytime !

If you go into the gosh shop or the cafe nothing is to much higher trouble always have friendly staff and never have to wait for food to be cooked

Called in after a busy day the shop was very clean and tidy and obviously popular considering there was quite a queue. The fish and chips were freshly cooked and I couldn't wait to get home and eat it. Reasonably priced.

Every time we visit my chubby Auntie in Risca we get lunch from here. It never disappoints. Always cooked fresh and excellent value for money

The best place for chips in Risca. Always go here now for the fish as good portions and the best tasting chips in the village.

Has been my favourite chip shop since I was a little girl and still is.. :-)

He estado visitando la Risca pescado bar durante más de 50 años, en diversos ownerships. Mi familia todos originarios de Risca, visita que aquí tres o cuatro veces al año. Este lugar lo tiene todo, sabor, buenas raciones tamaño y un servicio agradable. No te puedes equivocar con este lugar. Risca tiene unas buenas fish and chips tiendas, pero este es el mejor. Pregunte por "Irish salsa curry" que siempre hago!

We ordered cod and chips twice and mushy peas. The staff were really friendly and chatted. Our order was put together quickly and cost £10.60. When we got the food home and tried it we were delighted, the chips were perfect, the fish tasty and the batter crispy. Recommend this place highly.

Good value fish and chips and very friendly and efficient service. Delivered 24 packs of fish and chips neatly wrapped and boxed to a get-together I was having a mile or so up the road bang on time. They even lent us their salt and vinegar dispensers for the evening!

If you ever want fish and chips this is the place to go. Prices are reasonable and if anything portions of chips are on the large size.

We love the Fish Bar for their Chips. They are the best around and we think they are excellent value for money.

The staff are lovely, the prices are great. The chips are amazing! If your in risca and fancy a chippy dinner this is the place to go.
