Scampies Fish Bar in Neath Port Talbot

Sort out your times and when you close. Website states 21.30 I arrived at 20.30 and closed

TERRIBLE. Worst fish and chips we have had. Bought 4 large fish and two large chips for family lunch. All went in bin. The fish was mushy, like reconstituted cheap fish fingers, the batter was like eating a doughnut, so thick and heavy. The chips were scrappy, thin and hard with lots of black spots, inferior quality potatoes. Spent over 40.00 and all in bin. We have been here before, and left feedback for these owners, and previous ones, so have experienced the good quality food, and the latest were awful.

Gutted 🥲I saw some pictures on Facebook of their food boxes and the chips looked lovely, crispy and golden. Was really excited to try them. Called in today but was served pale soggy chips that had no crisp to them at all. Will try again next week and update the review

You can't rely on them to be open when they say they will. The opening hours for a Monday are advertised as 11-30am until 9-30pm but when I went there this afternoon at 2-00 they were closed, i'll go elsewhere in future.

Food is average at best, also they need to update their opening times on line has it says shop is open but it's closed

My daughter said they are even better than McDonald's fries and they were her favourite

Under new management It's gone terrible Half of the time they're not even open. I wouldn't even feed this food to my dog It's absolutely disgraceful The chips are gone table The people got it now Destroyed a wonderful business

The food was good, and price is decent, staff was also friendly, Just the only thing that was a issue was the chips being very soft and soggy, but above all worth having now and again to support it etc.

Lovely friendly service with a smile fresh food cooked beautifully best in town no doubt

This used to be our favourite chippie when I worked in Neath. Asked for jumbo sausage in batter and chips with curry sauce twice, were given jumbo sausage in batter, curry and a tray full of scraps 😏the few chips that were edible (less than a dozen) tasted nice so it’s a shame so much was only fit for the bin

I just ordered a delivery the money has been taken from my bank but for some reason they cancelled my order once the money was taken so I'm £20.10 out of pocket and no food never again would I go on this site.

Best smash burger around, amazing staff and great prices. Can't go wrong.

Had our first Sunday lunch from here today. A nice meal but what happened to the promised sprouts? Also needed more gravy but all in all not bad I would have given an extra star if we had received everything we ordered.

Scampi's lacks the quality of say Shilingford's, and strays away from the classical chippy in many ways, however retains relative affordability, convenience, and a style of its own. The chips here are not the typical chip shop chips, they are smaller type chips- not fries, but a synthesis of fries and chip-shop chips. This means the chips have more surface area meaning that salt and vinegar seasonings are tasted more. However, it does make the chips greasy and many people prefer proper chips than the type Scampi's offers. Scampi's is in a very convenient location being next to Victoria Gardens Bus Stops and close to Alderman Davies school. Expect to wait in a queue, usually with noisy children, if you wish to order from here. The price for medium and large chips are as follows; £2.50 M, £3.00 L as of the publication of this review. These prices are basically the same as in others chip shops. The meal deals here are surprisingly reasonably priced for example a medium chips with a sausage and a sauce of your choice is £4.50. However, the chips and portions are smaller than in other places. I found prices related to fish also reasonable and the sausage and chips cone for £2 is good for those with children. In conclusion, Scampi's is a medium range chip shop, exclusively takeaway, that lacks quality in most of its food but is nonetheless favoured by some people for it's smaller chips and affordable prices. As far as chip shops go it is a dependable, but not praise-worthy, 3/5. Additionally, It's closing times are quite early so having chips with your friday pint is not an option sadly. For this 1 mark could be deducted as the questionable early closing times loses the establishment money and the customer liberty.

If you're looking for value for money avoid scampis chip shop. Just ordered a large chips and portion of curry sauce for me and my partner. Large is a bit of an overstatement especially when I got home and mos of the chips are stuck to the paper. Will never use them again.

New owners in this popular takeaway when we went in today. The owner acknowledged all customers, and offered options to meals. We ordered a fish and chip "Friday special" which we shared as we have small appetites. This consisted of a standard size cod, medium chips, and choice of mushy peas, gravy or curry sauce. We opted for the curry and were offered a choice of mild curry sauce or Irish curry sauce, which we chose. The fish was freshly cooked for each customer as was the battered sausage which we had chosen to add to our meal. The fish was perfectly cooked, white, flaky flesh with light crispy batter, not greasy at all. The chips were tasty. The curry sauce was very tasty. The sausage in batter was well cooked and not greasy. Very impressed with the new owners and most important it is one of the only places that the prices are NOT GOING UP. We paid £8.40 for our meal and it was plenty for the two of us Well done. Highly recommended and will be returning soon.

Recently been taken over by new owners and the quality has improved massively. Amazing new deals every week, the food is divine and Shane always has new recipes, what an amazing cook he is. My go to takeaway now no matter what.

Stunning chips always been my go-to chip shop

They were amazing chips but it's so sad to see them closed down

Sorry the poorest chips ever. Went in for my daughter to have chips. They poured chips from the heater section into a wrapped take away. When she opened it it was just cold hard chips. Mostly the ones thrown away. Don't waste your money here.

Been a few times on my way home from college. Never failed to disappoint! The foods crispy and flavoursome, I would reccomend to others!! ^^

Excellent food very tasty highly recommended

The taste was great, shame the chips weren't a little bit more crispier and the batter on the sausages look a bit neamic could do with a bit more colour and the pickled eggs were not very pickled, other than this the price is great and the presentation of the place very clean and the atmosphere friendly.

Absolutely terrible, I came out of the con club about 4 and fancied some fish and chips. The chips were soggy and greasy, the fish was cold and the batter fell off. £8.80 trust me go to the model Windsor Road, cheaper and 100% better.

It's gone a bit down hill recently. The fish isn't up to standard and the batter is mushy. The fish smelt alot which isn't good.

We haven't been here for a while...and now I remember why.... although the chips are well cooked for the price it's a poor potion size....most other places a small chips will feed 2...here there's barely enough for one .... Better off going elsewhere...

Still waitting on my foid order that place at 12.47 still not came

Food was shocking chips were soggy and soaked in fat and pie was still cold in the middle.. I went here as the ratings were good. Walking home I passed the chip shop called Leon's which have no ratings and the food looked some much more appetising and value for money. Won't be coming back here.

I recently visited Neath for a work meeting and whilst there I had a chip butty with curry sauce from Scampies fish bar. This was my first visit and I was impressed with the lovely welcome and the prices. I ate my dinner in nearby Victoria Gardens which were clean and beautifully maintained. The food tasted fantastic and the chips were cooked perfectly.

Ordered a Sunday lunch takeout Oh my gosh ! absolutely amazing the meat was tender and soft, all the veg was fresh the roast potatoes and parsnips were crispy and tasty .The gravy was thick and tasty obviously home-made with the meat juices. There was enough for two dinners in one tray I definitely will be ordering next week thank you so much for the amazing Sunday lunch.The tray contains meat of choice or mixed , cabbage, carrots mashed parsnip,Mash potato which is to die for ,roast potato ,roast parsnips ,Peas ,sprouts ,Yorkshire pudding and stuffing, plus a large container of gravy and mint sauce if required .I will definitely recommend Scampies Sunday lunch to everyone amazing 10 out of ten .

food is nice aswell as cook dinners but have trouble with their orders , 2 cook dinners wrong meat that was ordered

Me and my Brother just caught closing time. Think it was the owner behind the counter. Top Guy Top food very reasonable prices 👌

Had Fish&Chips, great value and delicious.

My partner went here after i told him to avoid the place,had his order wrong ,overpriced,terrible customer service,one girl more interested in her make up and on phone to boyfriend! Pathetic,he wont be going here again,luckily i had lovely food from leo's which was fantastic,what a joke this place.

Food arrived early,driver was lovely but the food was awful spent All night on the loo the chips tasted like Chinese chips the burger was like rubber it seems that most chippy these days seem to be cooking their food hours in advance and leaving them sit in the warmer will never order from these again.

Ordered through just eat. Said delivery would be 20-30 mins took 1hr 10mins. Ordered a meal but came with no chips. Phoned shop to say chips were missing from meal deal, she asked where I was, I said waunceirch but she didn't take my exact address and said she'd send driver back up, but didn't sound genuine and how would she know where to send him. Then I rang back as I noticed ta sweet chilli sauce was missing too and the lady that answered just said 'ok' and put the phone down. This was 40 mins ago and still no sign of my chips and sauce! Awful customer service, do not order a delivery from this place!!! Rip off!!!. 😡

I love it here, The food is amazing and the staff are lovely.

Coming from the midlands, this is the single best fish and chips I’ve ever had, the fish was MASSIVE and very high quality, and the chips were also fantastic, very crunchy and personally cut to perfection. If you’re around Neath this is a must visit.

Cheese chips and beans with jumbo sausage, they are the best chippy in town

Ordered from just eat fish was small and dry and chips was cold

Food was tasty. Ordered 4 meal deals with chips but only received 2 portions, so not worth ordering meals, very disappointed as spent quite a bit of money

Good great value and always good food

ordered from just eat, really nice fish and chips and the kids and partner enjoyed the chips too. Only issue I would say is the chips are really quite greasy and could do with a bit more draining before serving.

Had better service before waited went in waited again and was ignored I don't appreciate it so I will be going elsewhere next time just because they are doing just eat as well and they missed part of an order so I have made my decision

This is the best chip shop ever, I won't go anywhere else , the food is outstanding, the staff are friendly polite .. Highly recommended to anyone ... 5 stars aint high enough for the quality you get from scampi's

Have to say over the years I have popped in for chips and curry sauce and never been disappointed. Recently I have found they deliver 😁 bloody amazing. The best fish and chips around and as for their curry sauce !!! Well I have now words. IT IS THE BEST . Thank you Scampies. We will be forever ordering from you

Not the best food is bland ,not that cheap either,not great to be honest,other places in neath much better value,i notice that the owners son in law has left a review as well,so i wonder now if the other reviews are false,just a thought,as its not that good,save your cash go elsewhere i would.

Always pop in when we can for chips, cheese and curry sauce! A must try! #ScampisNumber1

Having been round Neath Fair stalls and found all food to be overpriced we went to Scampi's. Freshly cooked fish, freshly cooked chips. Both very tasty. Also had jumbo sausage which was also tasty. Excellent value, good friendly service. Staff calm and smiling even though it was very busy on Friday evening of the Annual Fair. Well done ladies.

I went here with my husband after a long day out with no dinner. We were starving. To our delight Scampies offer a range of Quorn items, in addition to their extensive 'normal' menu. My husband had a Quorn fillet in batter and I had a Quorn sausage in batter. We also shared a portion of garlic mushrooms and a large portion of chips. The food was freshly cooked, hot and delicious. There was a lot of it, but we were so hungry that we devoured it all. The lady who served us couldnt have been nicer or more helpful. I would definitely recommend Scampies.

Fantastic food everytime I go. Best chippy in Neath.

This is far and away the best chip shop that I have ever been to in my entire life. They also have lots of vegetarian options too.

The gravy was really nice and the fish was well battered.

Perfect location right in town centre, ideal for a quick lunch or a treat after the cinema a few doors up. Good prices

I’ve had lovely food here & awful food here. Convenient if you want chips and you are in town centre. Wouldn’t really go here out of choice

Been there for the cone of chips and sausage. Beautiful chips, and very nice sausage. I'll definitely go back.

Chips always hot and fresh. Plenty of choice. Fish/pies/sausage/curry sauce. Staff very friendly. The go to fish shop in Neath town centre.

un eatable believe they were cooked in oil that was to cold to start soggy fish greasy chips taken back had refund

Really nice food & big menu to choose from.

have called in a few lunchtimes on Saturday while the weathers been good, and taken into the park to eat, chips are always cooked well and not to fat ( I like thin chips) good value for money and always fresh

Reasonably priced. Getting better I think due to.local competition in town. But best chips ever. Open on Sunday also

Lovely rissole & chips served here. I’ve never had bad meal here. Chips always cooked nicely. Highly recommend

Food okay ish, portion size was good but a little bit greasy and chips cut smaller than what most chip shops serve.

Really nice place staff are friendly

We called here on Friday night to grab a bag off chips on the way home from the cinema. They were fantastic. Loads of salt and freshly made. Very yummy indeed....

Family run fish and chip shops for over thirty years. Outstanding quality that is noticeably better than other takeaways in the area. Generous portions and epic value for money.

Lovely staff lovely food and good prices too x

Avoid the curry sauce. I bought chips sausage and spicy curry sauce on the way home from work. There was no one serving in shop and had to wait until someone came from out the back. The chips were mainly scrap ends but not too bad. The sausage was good but the curry sauce was cold thick and claggy. The smell coming out of shop is tempting but i would go elsewhere next time.

Fish and chips were ok but find the premises is getting dirty Looking inside. You don't get many chips for your buck either. You que for your food then leave as there's no seating area.

Service brilliant food is lush my daughter loves it that the only fish shop she will eat from definitely no1 fish shop in neath town always fresh chips

Last time i had chips they were not great,service ok seem more interested in their make up than anything else. Other chip shops in neath are much better,personally i wont go there anymore but my partner seems to like it. I would pay more and go elsewhere to be honest.

Best chippy in neath,food is fantastic and the staff are lovely and polite would recommend this place to anyone

Visited this fish shop on many occasions and each time the food and service has been excellent, will definately be back

A really nice fish and chip shop. Would recommend to anyone
