Shane’s Traditional Fish and Chips in Bridgend - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The staff are always friendly and helpful, portion sizes are great and most importantly, it’s delicious.

Been there once the chips were awful. Thinking it was a one off I went in there again, unwrapped them when I got home and threw them out for the birds. Maybe third time lucky? Nope. Threw them out too. I've mentioned it to friends and neighbours who always used to harp on about how good cefn glas chippie is but I've not had one good experience. The chips are vile if you get them around 4pm, like they put them on the the day before and let them cook overnight. At least the young girl smiled once even though she looked like she just started her Monday morning office job. At least she smiled. Next time she might say hello. They take cash only, yet something like a sum-up card reader isn't expensive and easy to set up. Even finigelans in bryntirion serve up something semi-decent even though you have to pay sky-high prices. I wish I lived nearer to the hospital the chips in that chippie are totally amazeballs.

Food always freshly cooked. Get a card machine. Staff friendly.

Always had awesome chips here, got to be my all time favourite Chippy.

Always a cracking chippy, fair play! Better than our local ones by a mile! 👍🏻

Some of the best cooked fish I've had.

Nice fish and chips friendly staff

Congratulations to Shane, and all of his staff on an amazing first year. The food and customer service is always spot on, and this is why I absolutely love going there. I pretty much go there weekly to be honest. Keep up the fantastic work and standard of service everyone, and you will have many more successful years ahead of you 😁

Popped in 20mins before closing (5th August 2023) to be told they had just used up all the chips and are not putting anymore on as they are closing soon… I get no establishment wants to waste food which is why you always ensure there is enough for the shift. 3 other people walked in and were all turned away thats 4 paying customers going elsewhere. poor attitude from the staff working and poor management.

Great little chippy, service first class. But fish batter has changed since our last visit, we don’t think this is a change for the better

The two girls are just brilliant. Everything is fresh and cooked to order.

Reasonably priced food, and staff are always friendly Nd accomodating.

Lovely to see this chippy run and staffed by people who actually know how to cook chips properly! Chips are perfect as a result instead of being dripping in oil like so many places. We actually travel here when fancying chips because of the quality. Lovely staff too. Well done guys!

Only had pototo fritters but they were beautiful first time trying it from there will definitely go bk nowhere in Bridgend do them

Tried this chip shop recently and it's amazing the food is fresh and the portions are very big the fish is cooked to order and the batter is perfect. I've also tried the curry sauce and the beef pie again great everything is just what you want in a chip shop and the prices are great

Absolutely stunning food. Was a drive but well worth the few extra miles.

Fantastic since Shane took over in the summer. Been here several times recently and is now our go to chippy. Great portion size, lovely staff, and top value pricing. Go Shane!!!

Went today and what an amazing meal the fish and chips was outstanding, Highly recommended and the new owner is doing an amazing job

friendly staff lovely food would recommend

Tried for the first time since Shane took over and must say I couldn’t fault it! The chips were all good and sausage tasty and batter nice and thin (not thick & stodgy). The red curry sauce was also yummy with them. Have no been first time now that Shane’s had time to settle in I must say looks like a job well done. The waiting system is much better so customers aren’t getting wet outside and also specials such as the jumbo sausage, chips, sauce & can of pop for £6 is very reasonable! I would only say perhaps put more emphasis on the specials by putting some A4 posters up to advertise then may be beneficial. Over the years I have seen how the quality of the chip shop went downhill so much under the old management so I’m thrilled it’s back as it should be!

We used Shane's chip shop for a business lunch for some American visitors yesterday, the fish and chips was amazing and plentiful. very friendly staff and great service, would recommend and use again. Thank you

Haven’t been there since new owners , fish and chips lovely good prices , Well done 👏

I had fish cake, chips and risole (first time) and boyfriend had fish and chips and curry sauce absolutely smashing. It was so easy to take batter off fish too for someone who doesn’t like batter and was cooked properly 😊

Just moved to bridgend, so first time fish and chips, Unfortunately for us not great.my wife had small chips and cod,well cod was like a large fish finger,chips I could count,fish lots of bones,not much taste, I had cod medium chips,curry sauce with no taste.again very small portions,but medium chips are nearly double the price of small,and probably get 5 more chips,unfortunately not again. Thank Shane for the invite,today Saturday 27th August we came back young lady with the wilko jacket is my partner. Cod and chips again for both, Fish yes bigger but no taste soacked in oil no crunch,very thin for cod,chips again more but lots of bits not much taste, Not really something I do reviews but after our initial experience abd being invited back I thought well we will give it a go again. Unfortunately Shane we will not be coming back.

food quality is outstanding with the new owners and the prices are now fair! easily the best chip shop in bridgend.

Just had fish and chips for the family and I must say it was delicious would definitely recommend and will 100% be back. Large portions, reasonable prices and most importantly stunning!!

Top quality freshly cooked food, service with a smile, good portions at good prices. The fish was 👌🏻👌🏻 superb.

Snce the re-opening this week (15-19 August 22) my previous comments below still stand but I would add that the food is tastier, the service remains friendly and of the highest standard, and the menu is greatly expanded. Previous review: This is an excellent fish bar which cooks very tasty food to a high standard and at speed. The portions are generous and they do a good range of dishes. The value for money is also very good - they could ask more with the quality being so high. The staff are also pressional, friendly, and tolerant of tired people not making much sense after a long day at work.

1st visit. Good service, Prices good, Food good, I'm sure it will only get better.

Lovely to see this under new ownership!! Can’t fault our order today, was absolutely lovely. Fresh, piping hot and not greasy at all. The leek and cheese rissole is my new fav!

New owners and you can certainly tell! Best chips I’ve had in a long time, fresh and good size portion 👍🏻

Absolutely disgusting, majority of the chips were bad and clearly black and while trying to pick through the bad chips I came across a fried fly. I felt physically sick, I will never eat from there again. It would have been a zero star if I didn't have to leave a star to leave a review. 🤢🤬

Very expensive chip shop Irish curry I don’t think so . More like dish water slop . How the locals survive with this Shop I will never know This must be the dearest sausage and batter in the country £2.20 and not even cooked right If I could give a zero rating I would Avoid avoid 🤮🤮

Good food at a reasonable price

Lovely fresh chips and good selection of food available. Staff are warm and friendly and premises pristine clean.

Good service, good value for money

Bought a jumbo sausage on Friday from cefn glas chippy which at £2.20 is the most expensive in the area, and by far the worst I have ever had, I would recommend you do not waste your money, I will not be buying from there again. Terrible.

After approx 25 yrs coming here, I'm done with it now, yet again, like warm cardboard chips and watery mushy peas freezing cold in the middle, the fish was ok I guess but again, luke warm. I hate giving bad reviews and rarely do but the owners need to sort the evening staff put and get them to have a bit of pride in what they do.It used to be a lot better than it is now.

Staff not wearing masks, wont be going again. Chips cold

Me and my husband ordered from here tonight and couldn't eat it, the chips were all hard and didn't taste nice, the curry was like water, the rissole was cold and lumpy! Waiting time was ridiculous considering it was only me and my husband in the chip shop! Won't be going there again.

What a shame :( ordered today for lunch for the first time in a while, excited to get food from my favourite local chip shop. Got home ready to tuck in and was shocked at the poor serving size. Even for a small chips, they normally serve a great amount of chips. I counted about 20 chips in my serving. Only doesn't get 1* because they were good, and the fish was great as always. Unfortunately, I can't risk spending 5.80 for 20 chips, a fish and a small sausage, even if the taste is still there, so won't be going back again. Been going for 8 years too, gutted :(

Good good, been coming for years

They also do fresh authentic Italian pizzas now as well under the banner of Enzo's Pizza. Beautiful as is the fish shop. 👍👍

Very disappointed today (19/09/20) after my visit to the chip shop. Walked up to the counter at 13:48 to order food for five of us, asked if they had three portions of chips and the young man said no, he checked with the female who was cooking and then said they will put some in the fryer. I then asked for two jumbo sausage’s which were in the warming display cabinet and three pie’s. This is what surprised me beyond belief, SHE said I could only have what’s in the warming cabinet (sausages only) I understand I said but would it be possible to have three pies as well, which you always heat up in the microwave. Very rudely SHE said NO, you can only have what’s in the cabinet we can’t serve anything else. After over 15 years of visiting my favourite chip shop they have lost a loyal customer, all because a rude female employee could not be bothered to heat up three pie’s while cooking fresh chips. I hope this is a one off and I’m the only customer you’ll lose. Thanks!! Mark

Absolutely rank cold food and sauce

Not impressed by the hygiene of the girl cooking .long black hair just dangling down she then started scratching her head while cooking and then picking her long nailed finger nails whilst cooking the food ..NOT good hygiene practices

Great fish and chip shop, staff very friendly and food excellent

Lovely chips, good portions. Curry and gravy a little too runny.

Terrible chips. Arriving home, I unwrapped a greasy ball of overcooked chips, that could not be separated. Absolutely awful.

Great chips at great value and all done very safely with covid restrictions.

hit or miss , when hit lovely when miss bin ..

Let's hope it never opens again.

The food here is fantastic and very reasonably priced. Staff are friendly. Highly recommended.

1 of the best chippy's in the borough

Great fish and chips. Always fresh. I real fish and chip shop and doesn't break the bank.

Food always cooked fresh, fast and friendly service.

Poor food, very expensive and not very clean

Fab local chip shop. Just as it should be, we'll priced and perfect food...

Nice sausage and chips. Staff freindly. Good price aswell

Nice chippy, been there years, the local school children go there for lunch most days ,,clean ,good service, bit dated furnishings and decor, but well looked after, fish cooked in advance, so not as fresh as some other chip shops ,but good chip shop

New owners i think didn't taste like they used to.

Been coming here for years. Best rissoles and battered beefburgers.in the area.

Best chips around and I'm not being biased because they're my local. I've paid nearly £3 more at Finnegans and the chips at Cefn Glas are far better!

Very good food and value for money . staff very pleasant and efficient

Stunning food and staff. Their chips and chicken is delicious. I recommend

Geat fish and chips but you may have to wait a little while. But can be worth it.

Had food here last night and it was disgusting. Had a Saveloy, Cod, large chips and Irish curry sauce to share with my other half. Chips were very greasy, the saveloy was stone cold, the Cod was also very greasy and full of bones, and the curry sauce was really watered down with no flavour. All in all, I will never have food from here again.

Great food and staff excellent service

Did not enjoy the food what so ever wasted £3 of my money

Absolutely stunning fish and chips

Fair play cod is lovely but sometimes has bones then it's not nice.

Their rissole is best in South Wales.

Excellent service great quality

Never any thing there on a friday night only one chicken No fritters No rissoles No pineapples Can you wait for chips It as been run well for many years Now it's run down

Portions are shocking for the price

Bought 4 bags of large chips..got home to find they're was about 10 chips in each bag!!! I may as well of paid for an extra small bag! This happens every time I ask for a large chips! Seriously need to sort out there portion sizes and train staff as to what 'Large quantities looks like !!!!!!!! If I had a car if take them back and demand a refund!

The staff were very friendly although we found the menu quite limited, most importantly there was no cheese and chips!

Friendly staff and he best rissoles in Bridgend!

Always good food and very good portions!

Friendly staff and the food is always tasty and plenty of it.

Nice chips but lady in front of me was known to the lady behind the counter, ordered large chips, given a decent portion. I who go there occasionally straight after her ordered a large chips and pie given chips half the portion (one scoop not the two scoops she had). Not happy and not amused. Hope my experience not typical but suggest you avoid if your not known to staff within the business.

Limited range of fish but well cooked and good value. Chips best in Bridgend.

Nice friendly staff nice and clean goog food.
