Absolutely disgusting - I have just thrown it in the bin. Nearly £10.00 down the drain for inedible food! I was told no card but cash and to go over the road to the cashpoint! I should have just got back in my car and come straight home then. I advise that you don't go there - definitely the worst fish and chips I have ever had!

The greasiest cod in batter I’ve ever had! “Large” cod was small/medium in reality. This was good because it was barely edible. Chips were rank. Lady serving had the personality of a jellied eel. If you like soggy under-cooked chips and fish that’s been hanging around in the hot cabinet overnight this is the ‘plaice’ for you!

Fried rice was inedible. Awful taste and black. Chicken balls were awful. Couldn't eat them with the grease dripping from them.

One major problem with this chippy - THEY CANT COOK CHIPS ! Always soggy and raw ,totally disgusting , last 5 times I’ve been there it’s exactly the same ! The staff are also very rude and don’t care if you complain ! Last time I’m ever going there , waste of money - avoid !

I often visit this shop. It is usually around lunchtime. The lady there - she looks about 15 but told me she has twin daughters of about 18 and an 11/12 yearold son is extremely pleasant and always seems glad to see you.

Insanely disappointed. I have been going to this chip shop for over 4 years and never had an issue, infact it was my favourite chip shop. Today i ordered a online for the first time because i couldnt make it in person and to say what arrived was appalling would be an understatement. I ordered a large bag of chips and what arrived was half the amount of a usual small size from this very chip shop. This 'large' only fed one person. Safe to say i will no longer go to this chip shop nor will i recommend it to people i know

Utterly disgusting food, this has to be the worst pie and chips I have ever had in my life. At 70 years of age that is saying something, the staff were pleasant, that is the only thing it has going for it. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Asked for a quarterpounder with chips. She was ready to put my burger patties on a crusty bun topped with butter. Excuse me? You should probably close down if you dont even know what is a burger.

The cod was really fresh and nicely cooked. The chips could have used another minute or two for my taste. Overall, it was a nice meal and service.

Nice local shop offering nice chips and 🐠, with lots of option for chicken, sausage, batter. Etc, nice staff too. But need to get a functional POS machine, not everyone carries cash about.

dont bother to go here. As no queue out of door like a while ago. Went to pay bycredit card and was told no card. Go over to cash machine as chips were getting cold. So walked out and left my order. No notices to say cash only whilst machine lays idle at back of shop.

This place has really gone downhill. To be fair the Cod in batter was v good and the chicken was ok….BUT the chips were a great mass of congealed potatoes. Massive portions don’t make up for poor chips. In a chip shop. Sort this out and I will be back.

Shocking this fish and chip shop is not worth eating from especially at the prices they expect you to pay. You expect good quality not oily food from the fryer that hasn’t been changed for a while.

Always go to Express Takeaway in Caerphilly for fish and chips. Cooked to order and great. Tonight feeling lazy so went down road to local chippy. Soggy chips, soggy thick doughy batter with fairly good size fish but tasteless and the crowning glory - bones. Glad I can see well or I might have choked. Bones equals nor care in prep in my book.

Fish and Chip shop prices gone up again since new ownership. Chips a little under cooked when visited Monday evening at 7pm. Fish was OK, skin on and quite a few bones to watch out for. Their Chinese curry sauce is recommended and tasty. Place has been there for 40 years + and they should try a bit harder. Some of the staff are miserable and not welcoming. Trying not to be critical as it's been there for 40+ years and ok for some chips etc.

2 x large chips and curry sauce this visit. "Will this be enough for 4 adults?" I asked. I needn't have worried, it was a mountain of chips and delicious too! This is a great chip shop and probably a good job it isn't too close to my house or I would be like Mr. Creosote. A big, happy chip-laden Mr. Creosote. Fab staff too. 👍

Tried this place for the first time while Younger's was closed - I won't be going here again.... The chips were nice but the Fish was dreadful, there were more bones than fish and the batter was all slimy and just slipped off the fish as it wasnt cooked properly. I've obviously been spoilt by Younger's Fish bar close by -Will be giving the Fisheries a miss from now on. Seriously disappointing

Went to this chip shop and asked for albino chips and dishcloth fish. They said they don't sell that. What liars, that's what I've had time and time again. Hard chips, not cooked properly. Batter on fish not crispy, as it should be, soggy as can be. Threw it all in the bin last time, and what little my wife are of hers made her I'll. Never, ever going there again. Disgusting food.

The chips were average, the service was unnecessarily hurried. I was the only customer there. The lady serving was in such a hurry, she microwaved my Clarks /Victoria Pie or whatever they call them these days which means it was just a squishy pie. Huge portion of chips....

Dissapointing both times we have been. Staff were less than pleasant on the first visit. Unbelievable in 2020 that they are cash only, even in the Covid-19 pandemic.

Excellent. Visited at varying times including lunch. Their chips are very tasty {not greasy} As well as being "proper" size chips. None of your 'bits' for chips here. A welcome change from other places we have tried. Fishcakes and pies are fresh and tasty. Staff were polite. We recommend The Fisheries if you like freshly cooked, great sized portions... {larger than average} tasty food. Good prices.

First visit to this chippy as we couldn't park outside our usual one. I wish we had not bothered. The chips were soggy and greasy, many of which were black. The fish (cod allegedly) was flat with the skin on and the greasiest batter I have had the misfortune to encounter. All of it went in the bin.

Awful service. The people who work here are absaloutley vile to the customers. I recently gave it another chance and instantly regretted it. I left before ordering after the way I was spoken to. If I employed people who treated my customers like dirt I would sack them. It doesn’t take much effort to be mildly polite to people (even if it isn’t your job!) and it goes a long way. Especially when there are plenty of other chip shops around.

Was visiting family in Cardiff and decided on fish and chips. Reasonable portions so all looked good. That's where it ends. Batter soggy and very greasy, not at all crisp. Skin left on the cod under the batter and some very large bones in one of the fish pieces. Chips were edible but bland. Certainly won't be returning.

Very disappointed. I went in here this evening, I looked in the food range and everything with batter on looked burnt so I decided to have a chicken leg and chips. I asked for the chicken to be cooked in the oil, when I got home I opened the paper and the chicken looked pale and when I cut into it I could still see blood and it was cold. Never mind I thought the chips would be OK, how wrong was I..... They were also cold and they looked like they had been there a while, they looked like scrumps.. Needless to say I won't be going back there agin. If I could give less than 1 star I would

I've ordered from these 3 times. Every time the chips are beautiful! Every chippy I've tried in the last 2 years have been awful but this place delivers every time. Just Eat said it would take an hour to deliver but only took half an hour. Tried the burger meal, which comes with chips and sauce (I had curry) and it was really nice! This has definitely become my regular choice
