Simply put, the Fish& chips were great.. Freshly cooked on asking.. Definitely be returning to this business when we next want a fish supper... Update.... 30th August 2025. So again, tonight we've just enjoyed a truly delicious a wholesome fish & chips from this business.. We had the order delivered to the house and it was hot and honestly so fresh in terms of the quality of the Fish.. No hesitation in recommending this business..

If you scoured all of south wales you wouldn’t find better fish and chips than this place. Busy place and you can taste why, plenty of parking helps aswell, although I believe they do deliver aswell. Top class

Made an online order, took an hour and 10 mins to come, received wrong order, rang them to tell them, they came back with our order that somebody else had opened and said if we want that we can or just keep the order we had because they've turned the fryers off now, obviously we didn't want the other persons order as it wasn't what we would eat, so we went without food, delivery girl was quite cocky and unhelpful, the owner then said he would refund us which I still haven't received 3 days later and he said to pop down and have a free meal for the inconvenience but then got all cocky and chopsy when my partner went down the shop for this, so won't be using again, will stick to the old pages in Griff.

It's a no from me, first time visit, just the usual family order of fish, chips, sausages, pots of curry, chips were pale and warm/soggy and had an "old" oil taste, fish mediocre, sausages can't complain but the curry sauce is awful, waste of money, we all ust picked at the food which was then scraped in the bin, I'll give this place a miss in future

This is a traditional British Fish and Chip take away shop, very friendly staff, great food freshly cooked, I go there regularly and have never had to complain or return anything. I went this week and it was really busy, all of the staff got on with their jobs and I was chatting with Ray who was making light of things when you could clearly see he was trying to serve people quickly and professionally. All round great take away.

Sadly I have to say this chippy is very expensive and food is ok. Their issue is the awful quality of customer service. Always a long queue due to the fact they seem to prioritize their delivery service and deal with that side of it first- customers in the queue always come second best. If you can't give 100% to both services then you need to hire more staff to help or cease one of the services. REMEMBER YOU PROVIDE A SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC AND IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE 100% NOT 70% . SORRY.!!

This converted public house is only about a mile away from me which is great because it is better than a well-known restaurant/takeaway that I used to use in Cwmbran when I fancied fish and chips. With fish and chips you need to know what you are doing. Good oil, right temperature and correct timing. It sounds simple but so many get it wrong They don't here and everything is cooked to order as it should be. Very generous portions.

Best fish and chips I've had in years. Cod was outstanding. You'll pay about a tenner for large cod and chips. You can order on line but deliver only, an extra £2.00. Don't expect them to answer the phone, but when I've turned up the service was prompt. Nice staff, attentive and smiley..

Lovely fish and chips. The fish is cooked beautifully - the fish is tender and flakes nicely, the batter is crispy and it's not oily or greasy in the slightest. A place to go if you want some of the best cooked fish. The rest of the menu is as expected, with a decent range. The prices are very fair.

Visited here on 01/06 for dinner for my family (2 kids, myself, husband & mother-in-law) The chips are perfect - crispy on the outside, not greasy & then fluffy on the inside. My husband had fish & said it was really good. Everything was really well priced, to feed 5 of us was around £20, which is excellent value. The interior was well set out to manage C19 restrictions, with markers on the (spotlessly clean) flooring & screens at the counter to keep everyone safe. The place is owned by a young couple who are really friendly, as are the rest of their staff. Definitely recommend paying a visit if you’re in the area & looking for good food :)

I visit this fish bar regularly as its a short walk from my house and everytime the speed of service is ridiculously slow. I appreciate Covid has meant things are more difficult, however I see no social distancing efforts by the staff only by the customers so this is no excuse. The portions are a bit mean but acceptable and the food quality is OK. However if you are planning to visit, I would recommend booking a week or so off work as you Will be waiting.
