The Creel in Gwynedd

We had fish and chips and we can’t really complain. The chips were lovely and hot and the fish was nicely cooked. Just what we both needed after a hike up Snowdon.

Fish was just batter , was way overpriced ,£50 for a family of 4, and couldn’t finish as it was greasy , never going back ,the old woman serving us was miserable too

Worst haddock I've ever had from a chippy. Hard stale batter with hardly any fish in for £7.75

The best fish and chips I have had in a long time!

Really rude staff never smiling over priced fish and chips fish should be lovely from close to the seaside had better from a town also charge vat only positive is it was hot. Fish n chips sausage chips curry just under 30.00

Incredible quality of food and superb staff who work tirelessly in such a busy town.

As most of the other reviews have stated the fish is so dry and overcooked even soaked with gravy it was a struggle to get it down. That was every fish in our group. They could do with reading these reviews.

batter was dry and ruined the fish, and the chips were a bit greasy. Not a very pleasant meal and would not reccomend at all. With the price being over £30 for two of us and waited 30minutes

Absolutely beautiful fish and chips ! The bill was very expensive ! Clearly boosted by the location .

Chips skinny type not chippy type but are tasty enough. Fish is weird texture and batter is thick and strangely bright orange, not sure if a colour is added or turmeric /something to make it such a ridiculous colour . Over cooked batter . Don’t eat more than two forks of fish . Disappointed

As good as fish and chips can get- six of us enjoying great food and eaten outside in the sun! Really engaging staff and good value. Not sure about the negative reviews below as the prices are really reasonable

Overpriced and ridiculously long wait time!

Possibly the worst value for money in my experience. You place your order then have to wait outside until your number is called and collect you food already wrapped and ready to go. The portions are miniscule compared to my local and a large fish and chips would be the equivalent of a mini at home, and the small fish (which looked suspiciously like a large one cut in half) and chips is like a child's portion, and one of each cost us £18, as compared to £11.50 at home. The fish (Haddock only, don't do Cod) was dry and thick in batter, and the chips were a bit greasy. Not a very pleasant meal.and would not reccomend at all.

I had high hopes having been recommended by friends, sadly I was disappointed my fish was dry and overcooked! My husband’s fish was OK. They were very busy and short staffed so hopefully succulent fish next time.

Amazing chippy! All super fresh and home made tartare sauce was so good. Smaller size of portions but I don’t mind that for quality.

Absolutely superb Haddock & Chips this evening! Thank you!

This place has the best fish & chips I have ever eaten, I can’t wait to go back!

We’ve been coming here for about 5 years and it’s been consistently one of the best chip shops I’ve ever been to. Large chips are huge and the fish portions are also very reasonable. Highly recommended.

Good to visit again after long closure. Fish and chips still good.

Didn't have high expectation being the only chippie in the village as most times in this scenario they don't step up. But couldn't have been more wrong here. Most places were closed for food on a Thursday in October, so it was a chippie tea for our last night. Food was cooked to order and you got a buzzer (seen in restaurants) for when your order was ready so you could sit in car waiting the 10 mins. Haddock was top notch and stayed crispy to the last mouthful, chips well cooked and a decent size. Special of salt n pepper chicken and curry sauce also excellent. All a decent price including mushie peas which was a good size. Friendly staff... Nothing to complain about.... In my top 5 chippies in UK.

This used to be a great fish n chip shop now it is very ordinary especially the fish!

Horrendous customer service. Very rude.

The very best fish and chips I have ever eaten. Batter the finest.

Massively over priced Poor portion sizes Avoid

Great food, really fresh fish and staff in there are friendly

Chips under cooked fish batter was very hard would not visit again

Website says open Tuesdays, but all closed up with all lights on!?!?!!

Fantastic cod cooked to order and served by a lovely team and best of all a discount for motorbikers because we are some of the nicest & politest people around.

Amazing chippy and discount for us bikers! Highly recommended.

Great food as well as friendly and efficient service, all for a reasonable price!

It was the best fish and chips and curry sauce we have ever eaten Mervyn and jeanne davies

As you can see from the picture…the portion size of the LARGE chips is abysmal at best for £4! My local chippy does a large portion of chips which feeds 4 of us (2 adults and two kids) easily and sometimes there’s left overs for £3! Come on guys…This was just ridiculous! My advice is to check your portion size in your tray before leaving (I didn’t). The rest of the meal was fine, fish was nice, gravy and curry sauce was decent so you get 3 stars…just the chips let it down so minus 2 🤣🤣

Best fish and chips I’ve had in ages! Service was friendly, efficient and accommodating. Delicious food, will certainly return.

Good fresh fish and perfect chips. Closes at 2 sharp as does the Mexican place down the road.

Not the best chips ive had, expensive to!

Great fish and chips, chicken bites were loved by our kids too

Appalling customer service. After waiting for an eternity I got ' buzzed ' in for my overpriced fish and chips and asked by the disheveled woman serving, if it was mine and she said very abruptly ' why, have you got a problem? '......I couldn't believe it and rolled my eyes as I walked away and then she shouted ' why the need for sarcasm! '. I gave her a piece of my mind and shouted she seriously needs to learn about customer service. What a horrible person she must be. On the outside and the inside!

Bought 2 cod and chips, 1 cod was ok, 1 was almost entirely batter. Had to share so that one of us wasn't left with practically zero fish. Chips were decent but really, this wasn't good enough

By a distance the worst fish and chips I’ve ever been served in my entire life. £20 disgusting and now we both feel ill. Abysmal.

Gave me the worst FOOD POISONING ive ever had , RUDE service. Brits Beware

We had average fish and chips which was expensive. The customer service left a lot to be desired they were quite grumpy ! Asked twice for lots of salt and vinegar but they only put it on the top so none of the chips had any. Honestly when you pay £18 for fish and chips for two, you’d at least expect them to be more accommodating. I left most of it because the chips were tasteless.

Coming from the West Midlands and some amazing fish and chips, this food did not compete at all. We were really disappointed. Chips were sloppy and the batter on the fish was overcooked

Pleasant service, polite staff, owner comedian funny conversation. Defo call again. The Bethesda boy

Well worth the queue. Great fish and chips and the home made tartare sauce is very good indeed!

Good fish and chips, usual sea side prices only gave 4 stars because what self respecting chippy doesn't serve battered sausages? I mean you have sausages, I presume you batter the cod yourself, so what's stopping these two things coming together.

The best fish and chips I and my wife have ever tasted, and my wife hates fish!!!

Mushy peas 😋 really good, chips too, expected fish to be amazing but wasn't much more batter than fish.

It's difficult to find great fish and chips these days. Here is the best I've had in a long time. Well done there 👍

Good quality, Good service, Surreal Prices - But your are in Abersoch if you don't want to pay these price drive to the chip shop in Morfa Nefyn but they will be cold by the time you drive back to Abersoch to eat them !! We had freshly prepared cod and chips (with Curry sauce just for me) and home made tarter sauce, the home made tarter sauce is the best and well worth paying a bit more for ! As I've said its not cheap, but it is very good quality and your are in Abersoch !!!

Good fish and chips. Good portion sizes.

Fast service, really friendly great fish and chips but a little pricey

Expected it to be nicer to be honest as its the only one in the village and ive heard lots of people talk about it

Prepare to queue for food. Cooked fresh and tasty

Shockingly awful. You would think.being by the sea the fish and chips would be perfect. Wrong !!! Chips were not cooked properly Nd the fish was just dreadful

Portions are ok for a busy place and the fish is cooked to perfection. Reason for the 3 stars is the are a little undercooked for me.

Fish and gravy yummy, chips OK too much salt put on though and bit expensive for fish and chips

Nice chips, good covid safe queuing system, have been again since

Beautiful fish and chips for hubby. I had scampi, lots of it. Took it back to the motorhome and added salad and it was delicious.

This was an amazing chippy but sadly like the rest of Abersoch it's out pricing it's self, such a shame, too expensive and food is nothing out of the ordinary....

Had to que to order then get a pager and wait for it to be prepared so the wait was ages expensive greasy soggy not very nice at all

We had fish and chips and mushy peas very nice had a bit of a wait as very busy but worth it

Great chips but only average fish for the price. Give us a proper batter and I'll give you four stars!

Always enjoy fish and chips from the creel but had them tonight and they were even better. Would recommend

How did this place every get 4 stars ?? Cannot be genuine reviews- Food is below average but price is well above average.

Fish chips and peas £9.75 , most expensive chippy on the planet, and very average... dont bother find another.....

Food ordered for collection & it was ready right on time. Hot & well cooked fish and chips. Excellent!

Sort your social media out. I went elsewhere because it says your closed on a Thursday

Good quality, mediocre service, surreal prices. I had freshly prepared cod and chips and the quality was very good (not excellent, but good) - however had I felt more bold I would have walked away at the price of £7.30 for this.

Served us and stayed open later, as we turned up late. Amazing customer service and super friendly

Busy chip shop usually means a good one, this was, all food tasty and well cooked. Worth a visit!

Waiting about 10 min after ordering,Paid £2 for a jumbo sausage only got a small one. Chips were not very hot the cheese on top didn't even melt. Not great 😡

Great fish and chips, will certainly be back!

From the get go staff members were very rude, not friendly at all and no please or thank you throughout our order. Over priced menu, fish and batter very greasy and heavy. Would not return again based on the rude service. Manners go a very long way!!

Very good quality food, it leaves you saying "I really enjoyed that". Much better than the so called Mexican restaurant down the road.

Never had an issue with the fish, chicken, sausages or the chips! Always nice had the mackerel goujons with chips and tarter sauce, was lovely.

Worker was rude! Wont be returning

Nice small traditional chippy but the batter on the fish was very thick, the fish wasn't the best. Probably wouldn't go again.

Good chips and really generous fish portions! 😋

Experienced there fish and chips. Highly recommend it

Nice and fresh, very busy but we all thought the fish was smaller than expected

Fabulous fish and chips - always great quality and great service

Fab service,great staff and delicious food as always .Diolch ❤

The fish & chips were great when we got them, but over an hour to get them (from joining the queue to getting the food)!?

Lovely food, quick service. Well worth a visit

Lovely food. Reasonable prices and friendly staff

Food good and prices fine. As it's busy the fish are fresh out of the oil and delicious. Good one in/out covid control. Shame those in the queue felt obliged to stand half a metre apart, but that's not The Creel's fault.

Very nice food the very best and lots of the food +++++++×

Great fish chips & peas fantastic staff

lovely food and very busy which often means a place is good. Long queues but worth the wait.

Fast friendly service. Lovely food

Good fish and chips. Well worth the wait but a long queue at the weekend!

Top notch fish and chips. All perfectly cooked - would buy there again.

Lovely freshly cooked fish and chips.. not too expensive either.. really enjoyed it

Best fish and chip shop in North Wales...delicious

For me it was just OK. Maybe I went on an off day but when I finally got to the fish with so much batter it didn't really taste of anything. Chips rather bland too.

Plastic free wrapping and excellent food, particularly the cod and pies

Great fish chips and peas. Would have given 5* but the batter was a bit too thick and the older staff were a bit grumpy with customers - never saw them smile once. Obviously doing good business with a Dyson fan on the counter. Keep up the good work but please try smiling and make your customers feel more welcome and a little less batter! 😁

2 separate fish, 1 fish and chips ordered. Ended up with 2 x fish and chips. Could have forgiven that as the fish looked thick. How wrong we were... Chips were excellent and the fish were tasty (hence 2 stars and not 1), but the fish were very thin, seriously lacking meat which left us feeling very short-changed. A shame because the staff were friendly and what little fish we had was tasty.

Really good fish and chips, good portions enough to keep you going after a day on the beach. Highly recommend this takeaway.

Worth the wait. Great fish and chips and big portions too...
