Decided to give this place another try. Never again!, food went in the bin. Utterly Disgusting! I see the place is up for sale, perhaps the new owner will be able to make Fish and chips that are edible.

I always come here every Friday for a takeaway, I order a small chips and a large sausage the portion is absolutely massive! I can bearly eat it all, it’s so cheap for the amount of food you’re getting.

My saviour, let’s set the scene to really encapsule the reader, this is a GCSE mark scheme, in the dead of night, my sisters shaking sick, every other takeaway place is closed, as we stumble in pain we see the joy of the day, the contented sole, let me tell you you my soul was far more than content after this MUNCH, ABSOLTE SCRAN, don’t know what they put in the battered squad eye but it’s far more addicting than anything from Columbia, the fish and pigs that died for the food here should get a warriors medal for serving our country, once I eat from contented sole I am a fish, absolute flopper munch, make me content

The chip shop has been taken over recently by new owners I believe and what a difference. Prices have increased, portions have halved and it’s not as nice. Such a shame was easily my favourite chip shop previously. Hope they change things as I’d love to go back.

Went there 6.30 Saturday 21st only 2 people before me 1 got served and left tge other a medium sized order. They took my order and I waited, I heard the manager told 1 of the staff only to serve the larger order first. By this time there were several people there waiting I asked how long they said quite a long time so I asked for my money back. Terrible will not go back.

Cod cooked as it should be, very thin and crisp batter, fish white and not grey, boneless and skinless too, unlike that in a lot of other fish and chip shops. The chips are good as well. The staff are always pleasant, cheerful and friendly. I heartily recommend The Contented Sole.

Really disappointed. Haven't been to this chippy for a while but have been on and off for many years. Tonight, a Saturday early evening, I paid £2.80 for an extremely small portion of chips. When I opened them at home (5 mins away) they were luke warm, dried up and overcooked. By the time I removed the bad bits and the ones that were so overcooked they were like shards of glass there were very few edible ones left. The curry sauce was also cold in its carton (which is now half the size it used to be). A complete waste of money.

Absolutely gutted. I've been using this chippy for years and years and recently the chips have been much to be desired. Not very nice at all and taste as though the oil hasn't been changed in a very long time. The portion sizes are appalling. A large chips looks like the size of a cone of chips. I won't be using again as it's not cheap for what you get.

As always the food was delicious - piping hot freshly cooked and generous. the staff are friendly and efficient. The only downside was almost £10 for one fish and chips ------------ and this was in February - its probably more now as i know the lady said the oil and fish prices were rising daily. Well worth the trip - a treat once in a while

Worse chippy I have ever been in. Small children's size portions certainly not big enough for a hungry adult. Chips were awful so just as well it was small as they went in the bin. First and last time I ever use this place. And a smile and a thank you wouldn't go a miss when the food gets handed over.

Tried this following visits to usual suspects in the area... it has to be said this place is much better. The fish and chips were spot on. Portion size not daunting....fish and chips crisp and not greasy. Thin batter perfectly cooked....NOT that terrible orange carapace that other places dole out. Worth avoiding the chip shop monopolies in the area and try this The lady in charge has obviously been in the business for years and is hands on. Not children being left to deal with it👍

Couldn't fault the food, it was absolutely delicious, but I felt like whilst I was there that I was overcharged and then when we got home I realised why - they had got our order wrong. Got given a whole battered fish instead of a small chips and got given a large battered sausage instead of a small one. No wonder I had paid more than I thought I should have.

Can be hard to park nearby, fish can be overcooked, depending on the time of the visit, If it gets left under the hotplate it does dry up and it doesn't taste very nice. If it gets cooked while you wait then it's very nice! It does depend on who is on what shift, I have noticed on several occasions.

Simply the worst McDonalds drive-through I've ever used. Pitifully slow, screens not working, 3x out of 4 having to wait in the car park for food to be delivered, and all but one visit got the order wrong. Have given them the benefit of doubt 3x as they are a new outlet, but after this latest visit I have complained to McDonalds Customer Services by email and will see what they have to say. Wrong order (unsurprised as the person seemed to misunderstand everything), overcharged for items, extra burger added and charged for, again had to wait in the car park. As for the so called piece of bacon in the bacon mayo chicken burger, it was the smallest slither of bacon and I wonder if Trading Standards would be interested! Only noticed the incorrect order on the way home, in heavy work time traffic, so didn't go back to complain. Will not go back. Thankfully the other McDonalds in Swansea have all been excellent.
