The argosy fish and chip shop saundersfoot in Pembrokeshire

Long wait to be told cash only. Went to ATM, got cash and returned to order food. Another long wait for scampi and chips that were nearly inedible. Staff were friendly though!!

These were the worst chips that I had ever had.they were burnt and crispy and most went in the bin.if you notice the door is usually open which hides the food hygiene rating score of 1!!!!!

Left without ordering. Food looked terrible. Completely ignored by rude staff who looked like they could do with a good wash. Do yourself a strong favour and go elsewhere.

You should be embarrassed to sell food this awful and have no shame when I politely fed back. Greasy, hard, small chips, barely any cod with the yes you guessed it, greasy batter served with bendy plastic cutlery. My son couldn’t even eat his sausage and he’s generally not fussy. £40 for 3 x cod and chips and a small sausage and chips. Cash only too. Do yourself a favour and don’t bother.

Dreadful food. Ordered takeaway chips for 3 of us and most ended up in the bin. They were greasy, over cooked and most were bits. Tomato sauce was awful too. Staff were friendly but I'd never go there again. Atrocious Would've gone back and complained but didn't have time.

Overcooked greasy chips from dirty oil. Although he gave us another portion of chips some of them were still overcooked. Fish was good.

Absolutely awful, oil dirty, so greasy and restaurant and toilet filthy. Left and wasted most of it, expensive too. Has no.food standard ratings yet

Best battered sausage & chips i've had in a long time, good portions, Strong recycable bag to carry to the local beach. Good prices and nice staff. Full marks for this chippy.

We had delicious fish and chips last night from Argosy! Lovely friendly staff who couldn’t do enough to help! A very generous portion - all our friends were very impressed! Thank you Argosy! Can’t wait for next time 😋

We used this chip shop (being local) when it first opened and reviewed how great the food was and how great it was to finally have a nice chip shop The last couple of visits the food (chips) have totally changed for the worst, all you seem to get is a bag of bits not chips Very disappointed

Honestly Best chips we’ve had in the Tenby/Saundersfoot/Kilgetty areas Although to be honest the competition is not the best

Not worth the money and I am surprised they are still open. We had 2 portions of fish and chips. Really, I should of thought something was off when the order was ready within a minute. The chips were warm and full of hard bits. The fish had obviously been sitting around a while as the batter was soggy and soft, the fish wasn't even hot. Overall it wasn't worth the money. £21? Go to the fish and chip shop in the harbour. A thousand times better.

I ordered fish x 2, chips, pie and chips THEY WERE DISGUSTING WARMED UP AND TASTED DISGUSTING. The girl that served us and an elderly lady was sooo rude she had real attitude!!! She short changed the elderly lady and when the lady asked for her correct change she said TOUGH WE HAVENT GOT ANY CHANGE!!!!! The lady was upset bless her. I asked for my money back because the food was disgusting and she laughed and said NO CHANCE AND TOLD US TO LEAVE THEN WALKED INTO THE. BACK. WHOEVER OWNS THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE CLOSED DOWN I WOULDNT GIVE IT A 1 RATING IT WAS APPALLING!!!!😡😡😡

Have seen a few negative comments about the service and I think it’s completely wrong, me and my partner went here to eat and the young lady on the till was absolutely amazing couldn’t be more helpful, she looked very hot and tired bless her but still was very polite, nice to see such a young person out in the world making money for herself and not just sitting around doing nothing like the other half of her generation. JUST WANT TO THANK HER AS IT REALLY MADE OUR DAY !!

FISH & CHIPS EXPENSIVE AND SOGGY. THIS IS MY THIRD TIME TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. I HOPE THEY WILL IMPROVE THEIR SERVICE AND WUALITY OF FOOD.

This used to be a firm family favourite, but sadly its gone downhill. The chips were tasteless, the ketchup tasted like strawberries and the sausage was inedible. Our food went in the bin. I don't like to leave negative rewiews, but it was really disappointing and a total waste of money. Please up your game and invest in your produce.

I ordered chesey chips and curry sauce when it came there was NO cheese luckily my family memeber had cheese and gave me a little bit cheese this incident has affected my day

New owners. Expensive. Soggy batter. So sad. £37 hard earned cash wasted. I've previously travelled many miles to get fish here, But OMG it's changed. No customers was. a clue I ignored cash only taken HMRC bankrupt them and save the public from the horror.

I regularly organise day trips for a local community centre, and Saundersfoot was our destination this time. I popped into the Argosy a couple of weeks prior to the visit, as my charity wished to provide a chippy lunch for everyone. It has had a much needed facelift and is looking much more appealing. The new owner, a very pleasant young man, had a chat and offered us a great deal on 40+ portions of jumbo sausages and chips. We arranged to issue vouchers for the meals, and to pay once they had been redeemed. The plan ran like clockwork. The feedback from all 52 of the customers was that the food was great. Chips were dry and not greasy, and many said the portions were so big they struggled to finish their lunch. One lady paid extra for gravy on hers, and she said it was the best she’d ever had. Another commented on how tasty the sausages were, and everyone said they would be happy to return if they visit again. Many thanks to all the staff for making the event so easy, and good luck with your new venture. We will be back!

Didn’t even get as far as eating. Asked for my money back when I saw them line up freshly cooked fish across the surface / ledge at the front of the fryer, a surface covered in old food, scraps and uncooked bits - I hope potato rather than fish. The surface hadn’t been wiped down and was not hot enough to kill bacteria like the cabinets are. I’m not a food hygiene specialist but I have worked in a chippy and the whole place looked chaotic, messy and unclean.

Awful service. Terrible food. My husband was served scraps of chips. After watching his food be dropped on the floor and a big discussion on whether or not that should be picked up. Absoloutely shocking.

Well new people I noticed when I walked in ordered fish and chips my god I got home the fish was ok but the chips were like dinners warmed up worsted chips I have ever had

Probably the worst eating experience of my life cold chips hours old and try to charge us for food we didn't get. Even the seagulls turned their noses up at it. Never ever again

Always fancy a bit of fish and chips at the seaside. Wish I’d fancied something else after this visit! Chips so old and dry we sang happy birthday to them. Fish was in batter so thick that when we cracked it and found the way in, the fish had camouflaged itself in the batter and was inedible too. Argosy fish and chips. Saundersfoot harbour. Best sailed passed, we wish we had. Never again!

Avoid this place ordered fish and chips it was awful sure fish was frozen no batter chips weren’t any better,it arrived the cutlery was plastic ate inside not what you would expect if you eat in restaurant,went to the toilet no toilet paper or no paper to dry your hands.told the manager never done nothing about it would I return not if it was FREE.

Absolutely disgusting - first visit since new owners. Awful chips, dry, tasteless, not chip shop chips, like cheap oven chips. Small Portions - Service was poor, unfriendly, rude staff. Been coming to this chip shop for years, but our first time since the new owners, completely different vibe - don’t bother, go across the road to Marina chip shop!!! Will never use again!!!!

The worst chippie in Wales? It has to be up there. A shambolic serving system that keeps customers waiting ages even when the shop is quiet. The owners and staff are foreign and have no idea of manners and etiquette to the point rudeness. The...

Absolutely dreadful. This place always used to have a good feel, friendly staff, good quality chips, all round above average. However, there has been a change of ownership. We called in for our usual 2 portions of chips, to eat on the pier. We have...

Visited here yesterday as it used to be my favourite chip shop in Saundersfoot. Sadly, it is now the worst chip shop in Saundersfoot! Me and my partner purchased 2x 4 cod bites and chips. We were waiting a while, even though there was no...

The fish was amazing new owners were really nice superb fish and chips also it was cooked fresh did not have to wait long a super experience

What a great surprise! The fish and chips were served promptly. What seemed expensive certainly was not when we got home. Massive portions and fabulous quality. You can eat there now although there's no table service and you eat it like a takeaway, out of...

Just purchased chips from the Argosy chip shop in Saundersfoot, what a waste of time & money they should be reported to trading standards for serving what they describe as chips they are inedible totally overcooked you would need the teeth of a crocodile to...

I'm afraid I must echo the other recent comments. Fish was overcooked, definitely not cooked to order, goodness knows how long it had been in the warming cabinet. Very chewy, heavy and tough batter. No resemblance to cod. Very poor value for money. Chips passable....

Placed an order of 3 cod and chips,1 fish bites and chips 1 pie and chips, was told it would be 25 minutes, not a problem it was Good Friday and very busy. Chased up the order after 35 minutes and told it would be...

Argosy was always a great fish and chip shop, we’ve used it for years. So tonight’s appalling experience is worth a trip advisor post . Half an hour of waiting, all packaged in expensive boxing which was not needed and unfortunately the main ingredient in...

Very disappointed! We’ve been coming here for years because it was the best fish and chip shop in the village, if not the area. Looks like new ownership judging by the name on the food boxes. Portions now come in small boxes so the portions...

Absolutely devastated this used to be the best chip shop in town went there yesterday for a bag of chips they came in a box and they must have been cooked about 5 times so sad as this was a thriving chip shop last year

Don’t recommend! chips were so salty it was not edible chicken was not cooked properly staff were disgusting

We were a family of 4, we ordered 4 Cod & Chips to take out (restaurant tables were closed), we walked the short distance to the harbour slipway to eat our purchase, only to find the Cod/batter absolutely disgusting, it was rock hard on the...

Having a stroll around Saundersfoot we were passing and the chips smelled lovely, popped in and got a cheeky cone. Absolutely lovely and very friendly staff. Will try the full shebang soon.

had a lovely chippy meal from here ,,sausage chips and gravy piping hot food ..staff really friendly . gets very busy here

Worst fish and chips I have ever had. Gosh supposed to cod but small and grayish looking and full of small bones. There in the bin after getting mouthful of bones from first bite. Tried chips but they were awful - dry and withered -...

Absolutely disgraceful, I can't say that I was impressed with Saundersfoot anyway. Just another shabby seaside town.

Takeaway and cash only. We had fish, sausages, chips and curry sauce - all well cooked and good value for money.

Lovely food and not greasy. They must be using a quality frying oil for the chips to taste that nice. Good value for money compared to other establishments.

We were looking forward to fish and chips, but we're very disappointed. The chips were quite greasy and the batter was not crispy.

This establishment does not advertise its opening times so I specifically asked one day what time they closed. I was told that it was no earlier than 5:30pm. So, the following day, after a long walk, I turned up at 5:15pm to collect my fish...

Although we live quite locally we rarely go out for fish and chips but my brother and niece were visiting for a few days and we wanted to relive childhood memories of our holidays here with fish and chips walking along the harbour. The chips...

The fish and chips were so wonderful, we enjoyed them 2 nights running. These were the best we have had , at a very reasonable price compared to all around. Service was great

In the hope of some good old seaside fish and chips for lunch we found this business to be closed at mid day and NO OPENING HOURS DISPLAYED in the windows . Might be a good idea to let potential customers know if and when...

Value for money and OUTSTANDING fish and chips. Fresh, crunchy batter, succulent cod, Irish recipe curry sauce (to die for) and all for the princely sum of £15 for 2 of us. Staff immaculately dressed; spotlessly clean interior, adherence to social distancing - We will...

Never disappoints, freshly cooked and good quality, pricing spot on 2 x Cod & chips = £13 we’ll be back. Sincerely hope you’ll be open through the winter.

Had to wait in a que due to Covid regs but was it it worth it? Well, in a nutshell. NO! Greasy soggy chips, fish with skin on, soggy batter, bones and my sons fish was under cooked. A nice seafront treat for the kids...

The chips were the worst I’d ever had. A hot greasy mess: mushy and no crispyness. Fish good and well cooked but the soggy pile on top spoilt the lot. Would never use again.

Great portion sizes for us, fresh chips tasted lovely. Cash only which was no problem. The curry sauce is amazing! Not your normal green chip shop curry sauce. Really tasty we all enjoyed and will return.

Had to queue for a little while, but not a problem, but the quality of the fish and chips was very poor, fish very small and the chips not great, could not recommend it as a great fish & chips take away, could do a...

I went in at 5.05pm on a Friday - probably just 15 minutes too early so my food wasn’t the freshest, but that’s true of any fish and chip shop where they don’t cook to order. I would imagine they would have been frying up...

For with the skin on?chips cooked in old oil and kids serving with no customer service ideas whatsoever,and greasy.

Had a great Fish and Chips on the beach from this place. Good size portions at a very reasonable price. Cash only.

Friendly team who always welcome my family and I back every time we visit and always remember us which is nice. The food is lovely and by far the best chip shop in the village (knocks socks off the other one and cheaper). Reasonable cost...

Having visited Saundersfoot frequently over the years the Argosy has always been a reliable, clean and welcoming fish and chip shop. The food is ok, chips are always fresh and tasty but be prepared the cod isn’t skinned. Be prepared to pay cash only, as...

If it’s open, the fish and chips here are much better than at the other fish and chip restaurant opposite! But it’s not open often

I find this chippy very reasonably priced and you do get a huge portion of chips. The batter on the fish is very nice and the cod is cooked well... however for the passed couple of years every piece of cod I’ve had from here...

Don’t do large portion of chips. Don’t do large battered sausage but do large normal sausage. Can’t see how hard it is to batter a large one compared to a small one, which is so small you need a magnifying glass to see it. Not...

Popped into The Argosy fish and chip shop as the Marina was very busy. Enjoyed the chips and curry sauce, but the fish was very boney.

Normally go to harbour fish and chip but was closing so came to Argosy...mistake...don’t know how fish and chip shops can get it so wrong but these do...fish was fresh but batter was absolutely awful, chips awful, so all in all it was awful, threw...

Food tasty, price fair. Called during a particularly busy time, but service was excellent. Will call again

HEAVEN Would recommend this place I now use there mushy peas as a face mask and beat my meat over the curry sauce!

I was pleased to see the reasonable prices, in contrast to the fish and chip shop by the harbour carpark. Service was v friendly and the food was ok, both chips and batter a bit soggy and so, overall, a little disappointing.

Absolutely stunning! Best curry sauce and chips I’ve eaten in a long time! Friendly staff. Prices are reasonable for the area and the tasty curry and chips! Definitely visit here again. Only downside they only accept cash

This is my favourite chip shop in Wales. It has the finest batter and chips I have ever eaten.The prices are fair and the staff friendly and inside eating is very clean.

We enjoyed fish and chips, veggie lasagne and battered sausage between us and we all agreed it was very tasty and generous portions of everything! The fish batter was lovely and the fifth perfectly cooked. Great chips too! It felt clean inside and quite cosy. Would definitely go again!

Argosy is situated close to the main front. The dining area is screened off from the takeaway part which was very busy. Fish was chunky. Chips were fine though greasier than expected. The service was good - friendly and helpful.

My stomach won't tolerate fish so I've never tried it here but if the chips are anything to go by, the fish must be great. The chips are nicely crisp on the outside and flavourful to chew. Try them with the curry sauce which is nicely spicy and not the wallpaper paste served in some takeaways. Yum!

Stayed at Amroth for a week back in July and used the Argosy Fish and Chip shop a couple of times. The young lads serving were a little unorganized but friendly and they got there in the end. The important thing was that the food was good and very reasonably priced. I'd certainly recommend using this place for takeaway food if you're self catering.

Had a lovely lunch here the other day! Was brilliant didn’t have a battered sausage though as the boy behind the counter looked like he’d batter it for me

Fish was OK and reasonable size, freshly cooked though. Chips were poor and very few for £2. No curry sauce available !!

We decided to end our holiday with fish and chips in Saundersfoot, unfortunately we picked this chip shop. The fish was fairly small and not overly fresh, the batter was fine and crispy. The chips were white and soggy, it seemed like they had been cooked slowly in warm fat. Never again.

So .. We (4 adults ) are here on holiday ,self catering. Twice we have tried to visit early evening and both times shop was closed. Today I went into the shop at lunch time and asked what time they would be closing tonight. I had shrugged shoulders from man behind the counter and the answer..depends if it rains ! I said if I call around 6.00pm could he tell me then what time, he said if I answer we are still open, if I don't we are shut. Needless to say we didn't go back. WHOEVER owns this place needs a serious rethink if they want to stay in business.

Find somehere else to buy your chips! Hands down the worst chips I've ever bought from a chippy in my life. Pale, doggy, mushy, swimming in grease... Just awful. I even heard the guy working there complaining to his work colleagues how he hated people looking at him when he worked... Yes, in a customer facing role perhaps he should work elsewhere. The man that served me was very friendly and polite I will add. But please, don't waste your money here, your food will probably end up in the bin like mine did.

I don’t like to write a bad review but sometimes it has to be done☹️ The service was very good unlike the food we had two lots of cod and chips and two lots of sausage and chips price was good, kids loved there sausages shame can’t be said for the fish and chips. The cod tasted like it had been frozen ( which is strange for a sea side town) the batter was greasy and uneadabal and the chips if you can call them that were totally tasteless, mushy and ended up in the bin. Save your money and go somewhere els.

We went to get takeaway fish and chips on the Sunday night of the August bank holiday weekend. Yes there was a queue out the door, but the staff coped well with the demand. My chicken was lovely, the chips were tasty and so was the fish. Lovely mushy peas too. The staff were smiley and helpful. Great work guys!

I have given a good review in previous years but alas not this year. We ate in on Saturday 27th July in the early evening. I had the ham salad the main ingredient to fill the plate was iceberg lettuce with a couple of slices of tomato and cucumber and some bits of yellow pepper. My husband's fish was hard as if it had been kept to long and his chips hard and greasy.

Really enjoyed the fish and chips we had here the only down side was the fish had the skin on it but it all tasted really nice

The store is too hot, it took about 10 minutes to get served, the boy who served us was very friendly, though. When we finally got our food it was disgusting anyway. The chips were oily and bland, the fish tasted like batter and grease, and our sausages were filled with bits of gristle.

Hungry teenagers on the beach, spotted someone eating delicious looking fish & chips on the prom, which they recommended. They weren’t wrong...hot, big pieces of cod & service was friendly & quick. Happy teenagers & mum!

Your average run of the mill chip shop. It is a little pricey, especially the drinks but food is decent. Not the best chips in the world due to being very greasy but much better than the chip shop opposite

Don’t know why this place is getting so many bad reviews if you want basic fish and chips or sausage or pie and chips at a good realistic price and friendly staff in a very clean shop this as good as you can get five star rating

Highly rate this place, have tried fish & chips and also pie & chips, perfect and piping hot, definitely use again next time we visit.

Disappointed with food. Closed before 7pm which is odd for a business relying a lot on holidaymakers.

Had to have something from the 'chippy' while we were in Saundersfoot......visiting the coast would not be the same.....Fish, Chips and Peas..open to go and sit on the sea front and tease the seagulls.....Very good food in a wonderful location....

It has to be the worst place to go to have fish and chips. The toilet is the size of a shoebox, and the staff did not seem bothered in serving any body.

Not great. The only saving grace was that it was quite cheap. The gravy was nice apparently but the chips were soggy and bland.

Ok if you like greasy mashed potatoe, Very disappointed staff seemed more interested in checking their Rota.

Nearly every time we come down we come here , grand children love it food is fresh plentiful and service excellent regardless of how busy they are fish is really good as are the pies and curry sauce wow , kids menu available including milkshakes which my grandson Dylan loves

I can't understand the other poor reviews, my wife and I vised last week where we both had their cod and chips. Restaurant and cutlery was clean, service and food was good. Our only problem (if you think it might be) is that the portions were very large and I was well full on leaving. Our food was definitely not greasy (Tel No 01834 812161)

The 2nd disappointing fish and chip shop in saundersfoot. £5.90 for fish and chips, the fish was not fresh and was so thin it was like plaice, over cooked and full of bones. The chips were greasy and overlooked, in fact tasted like they had been warmed up. It was tipping down with rain, they don't take cards, had to run to cash point, wish I hadn't. My instinct told me not to return with the cash, if shop only takes cash (don't declare everything to the taxman!), wish I had gone with my gut. The worst fish and chips along with other fish and chip over the road. Never have fish and chips in saundersfoot, drive to Tenby.

We ordered cod and chips x 2 and a pot of curry sauce costing £12.60 and awaited our freshly cooked fish!! .... yeah we were looking forward to it too. Can’t express how disappointed we were, once we tucked in. The fish portions varied massively and the batter was and oily tasting gooey mess. The chips were greasy and to add insult to injury, the half decent curry sauce was a stingy portion.... the pot being just over half filled. Based on my experience I would urge you to look for something else.

First day in saundersfoot, thought we'd have fish and chips. Shouldn't have bothered. Chips were tasteless and the fish was just a mass of grease with the skin still on, all served by winner of Mr misery face 2018. If you don't like the job, work somewhere else

Ordered cod, chips and mushy peas. The fish and chips were awful. I think the fish had been cooked twice and the chips were so dry. Very disappointed.
