The Lime Crab in Ceredigion

Great to have a vegan option, and it's lovely and flavoursome too!

Good portion sizes, great quality and fairly priced. All in all I would recommend and look forward to revisiting 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Very average. Fish and Chips not cooked to order. Very expensive for what it was - including Curry sauce - £13.80. Better food and value elsewhere.

Just had lunch at the lime crab as shown in the picture, I can tell you it was bloody tasty, really nicely cooked food. The staff were well happy too. Sat outside with the dogs, I feel satisfied until dinner now 😋

Great location on the sea front at New Quay. Cod and chips was amazing…was all freshly cooked and you help yourself to salt and vinegar. Few tables and chairs to sit at and enjoy .

Gluten free fish and chips. Even had gluten free vinegar! Delicious

Best fish & chips in New Quay! Consistently great fresh fish 🐠

Great food, friendly and efficient staff. All food wrapped/packed in paper boxes/wraps.

Always great fish and chips here and a decent sized portion. Very friendly and professional staff. 👌. Highly reccomend the cod bites. Amazing batter on them!

the food we had was all the same colour...taistless.. what a let down after reading the reviews ... the chippy on the holiday park was better

Had gluten free cod, chips and peas for tea tonight, my son had the same only with normal batter. We ate at the tables outside watching the world go by and the waves crashing in to the harbour, perfect. The food was outstanding, the portions huge and very tasty. The complimentary tartare sauce was delicious too. The lady serving us was very polite and helpful. They even let my wife eat food from another establishment with us too.

amazing fish bites awesome taste and price

The best place in New Quay to have a fish and chips! Fresh and tasty! We will come back to Lime Crab every time… There are a few tables and chairs to sit down but it is worth to take it just a few metres away and sit on the bench and admire beautiful seaside or even be lucky and spit dolphins that coming close to the shore! Beautiful fish and chips and great value for money :-D

Lovely stop off point after a walk on the beach. Freshly cooked fish made to order, great chips as well. Plenty of options as well, my partner who is vegetarian had a Cypriot halloumi and chips.

Called in Thursday 3rd October, sunny late afternoon. Got sea-bass and chips and cod and chips, cooked to order. Large portion size but expected at nearly £25 in total. Cod was good. Sea-bass was very greasy and "fishy" (yes, I know, but it was a far stronger taste than previous sea-bass from elsewhere). Chips were under-cooked and greasy. The cardboard serving trays were soaked with fat/oil within a couple of minutes. Afraid we were underwhelmed after seeing all the reviews.

Me and my best friend/ brother cycled from Lampeter to new quay and we came to the lime crab to be welcome so nicely and by far the best chips me and my best friend have had in a long time

i know everyone raves about this place, but I must say that the fish and chips were very average. Rather greasy and neither were nice and crisp. Shame really as not that difficult to get right

Quick service, food fresh and piping hot as it’s cooked to order and the staff are great too. Really well priced for the portion size, quality and location - it’s obvious why this chippy is the busiest out of them all but I promise it’s worth the wait! Batter was light coloured with just the right amount of crunch and fresh white flaky cod inside served with proper chippy chips! They came with a lemon wedge and tartare sauce in a cardboard box - no polystyrene! There is a small section of tables to eat in or you can take your takeaway box round the corner to the harbour and watch the sea - if you’re lucky you might spot a dolphin or two as well! Two small points of feedback - the price of the calamari was quite high in comparison to other places. It would be nice to have the option of a larger portion of curry sauce as the tub is quite small. However, it is a good price and next time it means I’ll just order two!

Nice food, plenty of it. We had the mixed platter(didn't expect all those chips) which was great. Never had White Bait before, it's a tiny fish, cooked whole, what a lovely fishy taste, would definitely recommend.

Staying on holiday about 5 miles away so was looking for a decent takeaway, and I can safely say it is one of the best fish & chip shops I have ever been to , it was all freshly cooked and the piece of fish was huge , the chips were lovely and I highly recommend the curry sauce,all in all well worth the drive.

We're here on holiday. Delicious freshly cooked cod & chips served with tartar sauce. Very reasonable price for a seaside town. We'll definitely visit again.

After reading the reviews we were extremely disappointed by the quality of the food served to us. The chips were overcooked and had been standing too long. The pie had not much filling and the pastry was very dry. The fish was nice. Won’t be returning.

fabulous food, location, service! thanks people

The fish and chips are about without doubt the best in many years. The chips nice colour well cooked and no grease. The fish again lovely thin crispy batter and quality fish. The food is 10/10 but what spoilt it for me was the price of the mushy peas. The smallest of containers priced at £2 I felt exorbitant and hence the reason I did not give “Excellent”

Cod & chips £12 is enough for 2 people to be honest and was just average 3/5

Ordered chicken curry and chips, scampi and chips , while it was quiet. After 15 minutes of waiting, one of the staff of 6 came up and apologised that they were still waiting for the scampi. Another 5 minutes went by and finally we got our order . Disgraceful I think after waiting 20 minutes. Too many staff doing nothing and playing on their phones. 😤😤

Probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! Curry sauce was immense. Chilli mango prawns also a delight. Couldn’t recommend enough Only downside was that they don’t offer a bin outside and they supply the whole town with food.

Had cod and chips here today large portions probably to large and expensive tasteless cod with soggy batter and horrible tartar sauce won’t be going back there again

Probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! The chips had flavour and the batter was a good texture, not greasy. Definitely coming back to try the other options like chili lime crab and prawns.

Fantastic little fish bar! Food was incredible, beautifully presented and very fast service. So glad we stumbled across it. We'd like to return to try some other options on the menu - great variety available and good value for money.

Very tasty fish and chips. The chicken curry is stunning.

Gluten free options available! Good size portions, lovely food and happy staff

Great range 'specials' Lots of gluten-free options! Gluten free fish bites were delicious. As were the chili mango king prawns. Highly recommend!

The brother said the little nippers sausage was tasty and the halloumi was heavenly. There was a lot of choice, some of which I have never seen in a British chippy, such as chicken curry, lobster, prawns etc. my mother had the chicken curry and my acquaintance had the steak and ale pie. The fish smelt and look deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious.

Called today had cod and chips and curry the best I have ever tasted also had sausage and chips both were very large portions everything was cooked to order so didn't mind waiting would recommend very highly well worth the money

my partner had the fish platter, which she said was very tasty, rather large portion for her, i had the sausage and chips, both portions were large and tasty, the staff were friendly too, gave it that personal touch, plenty of space to chill and take in the views whilst having good local food, at a fair price,

Really fresh and lovely light batter on the fish. Great curry sauce!

Excellent quality fish and chips. Extremely clean operation. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable in allergen control and halal options. Only slight negative was having to eat the food in Extremely hot and sunny conditions as the seating is very limited.

The Lime Crab has the reputation of being the best place to get fish and chips and as vegetarians we were excited to see that they had halloumi on the menu. The ladies running the front of house where doing a sterling job keeping on top of the orders as it was super busy. I was watching something that looked like crispy battered halloumi being packed up for other customers. When our order was being packed up… I realised that what I had been watching wasn’t the halloumi and I was pretty disappointed that the halloumi isn’t actually battered at all it’s just deep fried what a crying shame! The halloumi was nice (chips pretty soggy and disappointing though) but OMG please consider battering it!!! It would be freaking outstanding!

Absolutely Bangin sea food plater! £13.30 well spent highly recommended 🦞 🍤🍟

Beautiful fish and chips, roughly £13 for cod and chips. Squid and chips was also lovely. Very little seating available.

Delicious fish and chips. Would recommend the haloumi too. Would be great if more undercover seating!

Quality fish and chips. Fish has a light tasty batter with good quality fish. Chips were lovely and fluffy with a crispy outside. Comes in a tray with tarter sauce and lemon. The best we tried in New quay.

Best cod, chips & tartare sauce, with a big fresh wedge of lemon. The mushy peas were nice too, but the curry sauce was absolutely delicious.

Had great scallops and chips. Very friendly staff and got a table with a sea view.

Good food . No bins and tables needed cleaning.

Yummy! Fresh, delicious, lots of variety to choose from. Very happy customers. Giving a 4, rather than a 5 as I would have preferred more fish and fewer chips, but it was still great. Ate it on the harbour wall whilst watching the dolphins. Perfect!

Great British food, and service. Always very busy which says a lot about the business. Everyone mingling outside chatting with strangers whilst your waiting for freshly cooked food is nice

Just ordered fish and chips and was amazed at the quality! The fish tasted fresh and the batter was crunchy but not too thick. The chips were what you would come to expect from a sea side fish and chip shop - delicious! The portion size was generous for the price. Overall, I don't have bad thing to say about this place. Would highly recommend.

Tried The Lime Crab based on the many positive reviews online. The food did not disappoint and we went back for more on pur last night! Perfect chips, huge portion of halloumi and absolutely delicious curry sauce.

Had a lovely meal on a weekend away. The food was amazing and so fresh. Found it to be reasonably priced and would definitely have it again! Special mention to the curry sauce which was great!

We stopped here today and what a delicious meal we had. The fish and chips were really good the best we have had in a long time. If in the area highly recommend.

Had heard so much about this place that I’d became sceptical….. turned out to probably have been the best cod and chips I’d had in years!

Love getting fish and chips here!

Great food. They do gluten-free options on most things. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Food was lovely and large portions.

Very near to new quay boat services and the beach. Nice small restaurant with 3-5 tables for seating outdoor. No indoor eating. Best to hang out in summer. Had lobster and chips and was yummy. Nice and fresh fish are served with proper masala . King prawns and platter was also nice. Accept card and cash . Near by pay and park available .

Quite possibly my favourite chip shop in the UK. Amazing menu that has a few dishes you wouldn't normally expect to find in a seaside chippy.

Friendly, efficient service, immaculately clean and the best cod in batter I’ve ever eaten. The chips could have done with a bit longer in the fryer for my taste but otherwise great. And the menu choice is superb.

It's a long time since I've have such good gluten free fish and chips 🤩

The food was fantastic and arrived at the time quoted when ordered, faultless. Highly recommended

Possibly the most expensive but best fish and chips I've ever had. The mango king prawns which I had were delicious. And the rest of the family's food was very good food indeed!

Delicious light crisp batter on our cod and sea bass, chips were very good too. Not cheap but decent portions and complimentary sauces. Price is what you'd expect at a seaside resort

The reviews we had read beforehand meant that our expectations were high, and we weren't disappointed the food was superb, the best fish and chips we've had in ages if not ever. The batter was light and crispy and the fish moist and beautifully cooked. As we're the chips, will definitely eat there if and when we next visit New Quay. Also a lovely setting overlooking the harbour, and as it happens even the sun was shining.

Best Fish and chips bar far. Highly recommend

Stood waiting to be served, was asked if I'd ordered even though she had seen me walk in. Said I hadn't and she told me to move to the other side of the counter which I did. She walked that way, ignored me and served someone who had walked in behind me so I walked straight back out and spent my money at the Captain's Rendezvous who were lovely and the food was perfect. Very rude. Would put zero stars for the lack of service but I can't.

Friendly helpful staff. For the vegans they do chickpea goan curry with chips which was nice. They do separate chips if required so they aren't cooked in the same fryer as the fish. Would be nice to see at least one more vegan option like a battered sausage or banana blossom but they said they were looking into doing more in the future.

A must to visit in New Quay. Good food at a good price

The staff are amazing and so curtious and friendly. The food is absolutely beautifully cooked and across the board, I would have to give the lime crab an absolute 10/10 5 stars staff and food

Chips had been warmed up not cooked fresh.

Without doubt the best Cod and chips that I have ever had. Cod cooked to perfection and must have weighed about 12oz. Excellent service and excellent value. Will be back!

Some of the best fish and chips I have had. Partner had cod and chips, I had the seafood platter. All cooked to perfection, good sized portions, staff friendly and, you can put your own salt and vinegar on, as much or as little as you want which is great. Sat outside and although it was drizzling with rain we were dry under the canopy. Good value and would definitely return when in the area again.

Fantastic food great service. Food was hot and fresh. Really good value for money and very generous portion. We will be back in July. We'll worth walking the 13 miles.

Bought two portions cod and chips one with mushy peas. Not impressed with cod - small thin pieces, poor batter and after taste of oil. Chips ok.

We had done a boat trip and decided to get a fish and chips lunch. I ordered two children's fish bites it was 13.00 for the two . The quality and size of the fish bites were brilliant. I had the fish and chips it was 11.50 included in this you get a wedge of lemon and a pot of a good quality tarter sauce. The fish was a really good size and a large portion of chips came with it . Everything was cooked fresh you get given a buzzer and this goes off when the food is ready . They offer you salt and vinegar to add yourself which I think is a nice touch . The staff were friendly and we didn't have to wait too long for our orders to be prepared.

What can I say except they do superb fish and chips and loads of other things too. Cooked fresh every time .Well recommended.

Amazing seafood! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommended

Offers something different to traditional fish and chips with squid and mango prawns amongst the offerings. Food is really nice with a small outdoor seating area overlooking the bay

Delicious, freshly cooked cod and chips. The best I've had anywhere for years. Why can't they all do it like this!?

We are a family of 5 with 2 children who are coeliac. (Cant eat Gluten). This place was a breath of fresh air. Dedicated gluten free fryer available all week and a wide choice of options available both for adults and kids They had gluten free stickers to clearly mark the boxes and could offer gluten free vinegar . The food items were freshly cooked, piping hot and the batter was crispy and not stodgy / soaked in fat. The cod was a thick piece of fish and had a good flavour / texture. They also had an area outside to sit and eat. Not the cheapest in the area but well worth the visit. Well done guys! fish and chips with a dedicated fryer and a wide range of choice including gluten free vinegar. Why can’t all fish and chip shops be like this.

Superb quality. Recently had Lemon sole and chips. Absolutely outstanding..

Order and then collect when your buzzer lets you know it’s ready. Sat on the harbour wall with our cod/scampi and chips. Plentiful portion - hot and tasty!

Didn't deliver so collected it myself. It was absolutely lovely and so much of it we were very full but couldn't eat it all. Just disappointed that our curry sauce and gravy was missing from our order, but when I rang to tell them they offered me my money back from those items. 🙂

We saw this place when staying for a week and having read reviews about the food decided to save it until the last day & it was definitely a case of saving the best till last. This place does more than just fish and chips with other dishes including prawns, squid & whitebait. I had cod & chips with a side order of chilli & mango prawns my wife had the seafood platter which was a an amazing mixture of seafood including, fish, squid, prawns & scampi with chips too. The quality was excellent the portions very generous & the chilli & mango prawns were every bit as good as they sounded. If you are wanting fish & chips or something a little different in New Quay then this is the best place to go.

Visited twice on our recent trip. Food and service were excellent on both occasions. Good value and good portions, all food is cooked to order and very tasty. Served with tartar sauce and a wedge of lemon. All fish (cod and seafood platter) was very fresh and top quality. A definite must visit in this town.

The most lovely food in a long time! COD & chips, 3 seafood platters & chips. Hot, cooked fresh, tasty & really good sized portions for the price.

Ordered the special which was lemon sole and chips at lunchtime. Food cooked to order so the wait wasn’t an issue at all. Like the way they give out devices that beep when food is ready. However the chips were awful. They tasted as if they were leftovers from the previous day and reheated. Not good at all. Then the lemon sole tasted off and didn’t eat it. Overall a very unpleasant and expensive experience having paid £12.50.

I had the BBQ Pulled Pork with chips and my wife had the seafood platter with chips. Both meals were delicious- thus is a top class takeaway.

Really friendly staff, and amazing chippies. They do serve Vegan chips but make sure to ask first as they cook them to order.

Fantastic fish and chips with a small outside seating area overlooking the bay,good comprehensive menu and good sized portions

I like they have the classics but they also have some things you don't usually see in a regular fish and chip shop. Chips were crispy and fluffy and the batter was crunchy and not overly greasy.

NEW Quay seafront restaurant. Food to order.. we had cod and chips with scallops . The batter was so crispy ..def worth a shout. Parking is hard to find but before April there appears to be no restrictions. & there's dolphin watch boats you can charter on the harbour .. a good day's activities

We had a Seafood platter and a cod and chips. The food was really enjoyable. Fresh, crisp and tasty.

Fantastic Gluten Free Fish and Chips for lunch. Also great Pie and Chips for non gf I would highly recommend a visit when in Newquay Thank you

The best halloumi and chips in the world. Clean environment. Food well served. Plastic free Great location. Lovely fish too

Fantastic, fresh food not the cheapest but AMAZING taste, service is wonderful, choice is super. Super friendly staff .

The best fish & chips in a very long time... I'm sorry but why can't all fish and chip shops be a great as this one!! Very helpful, friendly staff, especially when asking about gluten free options for a member of our party who is coeliac. So many gluten free options and all cooked in a separate fryer. When food is cooked it is also stickered Gf for clarity. Excellent and so rare to find. My daughter was so very happy to eat delicious fish and chips and fried Halloumi. The fish was beautiful, curry sauce is a must and the chips were pretty great too.. Keep up the good work Lime crab, would recommend highly to anyone visiting New Quay.

Best chip shop I've ever seen. Great food and many choices, it's a must go to when in Newquay. Normal choices of fish, pie and sausage and then there's the halloumi 😀

Great service, ready within minutes of arriving to collect.

We visited yesterday and ordered a seafood platter. Wow, what a delight!! The fish pieces were perfectly cooked and the chips were amazing. Great value and a friendly service

Great chips, but have come again on Monday only to find it closed with no sign saying as to the reason why or any opening times (Google says they should be open)
