Best fish and chips I have had for a long time. Freshly cooked and served with a smile. Our two dogs enjoyed the cold sausages they had ready for the dogs, very thoughtful. Lovely location.

We struggled to find anything to eat in Dinas Dinlle on a wet and miserable Sunday night in July. If the weather wasn’t enough the service with no smile and no change was going to add to our misery. We found the only place open in Dinas Dinlle so we swiftly ordered our (spicy?) chicken burger with one lettuce leaf and one spreading of mayonnaise. We also needed to purchase some cheese & lettuce to take away as one of the party of three has a gluten intolerance. This is when things got complicated. We were charged £1 for the cheese, and happily paid £4.70 each for two burgers. total of £10.40. When we asked for some lettuce we felt like aliens. Again we kindly gave £2 towards the cheese & lettuce only to be told when asked that there wasn’t any change from £12! The shocker was £1.60 for a small sauce size carton of lettuce!!! Crazy so like aliens we walked out not to cause a scene….

Awful. Batter on fish was heavy and uncooked. Should be light and crispy. Try keep the battery cool and more air into it. WHY would you put dried mint into your peas. Fawl. Chips okay but could do with more colour. I'll not be going back. EXPENSIVE

Regularly visit this chip shop and enjoy the food however the man behind the counter was beyond rude today, spent £13 on chips for me and 2 kids, got the chips and the kids asked for ketchup, asked the man for some ketchup and was given a little sachet which was 15p, said I only had my card and was told ‘that’s not going to work, next please’ and took the ketchup off me!!! Bloody cheeks. I’d almost understand for a large pot but this was a little sachet for the kids, could have just accepted my card payment or given the kids a satchet, I’m here spending my money all the time. Rude.

Awful service, poor food. After looking forward to fish and chips at the seaside we were really disappointed to be met with terrible service from a guy who treated us as an inconvenience. He was extremely rude when we kindly asked if we could have some of our two portions of fish and chips put into a third container for our one year old. He told us we would need to buy an extra child’s portion of fish and chips but eventually and begrudgingly gave us an extra container and told us we could separate the portions ourselves and would have to be charged extra for the container!! We were the only people in the shop so would only have take an extra minute of his time. The food was not great, fish very greasy and uncooked batter and the mushy peas were not green and very watery! We never write negative reviews but we stress to avoid this shop at all costs, they clearly do not want the business!

After already spending £15 in the shop we decided to stop and have fish and chips. We had decided to sit outside as it was a pleasant day. Food was ok I have to say, but after a while and after our young children had been chased by wasps we followed the sign displayed “ eat in or take away” so we decided to eat in. Whilst enjoying our food we were promptly asked to leave the restaurant by the older man who had cooked our food. His explanation was it’s not fair on the other customers who pay £9 for fish, chips, bread and butter and a coffee and we had only paid £6.40 for take away fish and chips. After explaining we came in away from the wasps he stated it didn’t matter we were still not allowed. THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE RESTAURANT, just us ???? Had this restaurant been packed or had I been asked to pay a couple of quid I would understand.

The batter was soggy and under cooked on one fish yet burnt and hard on the other. The chips were soggy and the oil or lard must be out of date and need changing as it had a strange taste to it. The mushy peas tasted just like marrowfat peas out of a tin I couldn't taste any bicarbonate of soda. We paid around £15 for two fish two chips and two mushy peas and can honestly say it's the worst meal we've ever purchased. I now wish we had read other reviews on TripAdvisor as we would have stayed well clear.

Well we have been a regular at this chippy this is our third season at the nearby caravan site ..... this year it has gone down hill. We had fish and chips each ......... the fish contained more batter than fish and the amount of chips you receive now is so tiny and not a fair portion it is not a patch on previous years. This was mentioned to us yesterday at the campsite .... we were told to avoid it but it was too late for us. It is then obviously not a blip in our case that is how they are now served ... so avoid and dont waste your hard earned money ☹️

On Thursday 4th August at about 12.00pm I went into the Surfer at Dinas Dinlle for a coffee and a piece of cake. I explained to the lady that was serving that I would eat the cake in the cafe but could she put the coffee in a takeaway cup as I would finish it whilst walking. I was walking from Trefor to Caernarfon on the coast path.About two minutes later she brought over the cake and the Americano coffee in a takeaway container. The coffee was £2.00 and the cake £1.75. I eat the cake and read a newspaper I had brought in.After about 5 minutes a man who I presume was the manager came over and said I could not drink the takeaway coffee in the cafe. I explained what had happened and asked him to check with the lady who had served me. He was very aggressive, which was quite out of place for a quiet cafe The man came back very irate and said even though she had served me the coffee in a takeaway cup in the cafe, I was not allowed to have the coffee inside the cafe. I think he didn't understand that there is standard rate VAT on hot drinks if they are consumed inside or outside unlike certain cold food. He said I had to leave immediately. I am 57 years old and have never been thrown out of a cafe in my life. Even though he had a threatening manner, I told him that he was not chucking me out and I would leave when I was ready. I also told him that as a regular contributor to Trip Advisor I would be putting some comments on Trip Advisor. He told me that he did not care for trip advisor using swear words as he did.He went off swearing at the assistant in Welsh and came back about a minute later. He sat opposite trying to intimidate me. I carried on reading my paper and tried to ignore him. He picked up part of the paper which I was not reading and started reading it himself. He then then threw it back at me and walked out of the room.I did not see him again. I then packed up my stuff and left the cafe and carried on along the coastal path.I was sworn at in a very intimidating manner, racially abused and felt physically threatened by this man.When I got back to Wolverhampton that evening I lodged my complaint with the policeI was hoping for some type of apology . The man has denied the incident ever took place, for this reason I made a formal statement. He was subsequently convicted of a public order offence.

Perhaps the quality depends on who's working there (looking at the other reviews), but our experience was excellent, and this was the best seaside fish and chips I've had. The fish was battered and fried on order, and the chips were fresh. It was delicious. The ice cream from the attached shop was to die for. Creamy, rich ice cream from a local farm.

We both ordered the cod special ( fish, chips, bread and butter and a mug of tea/coffee ) @ £8.95 each then we ordered a portion of peas each which came in a gravy boat the chips were hard, batter on the fish full of oil and the staff all 3 of them never smiled once while we were there.

We ordered 5 lots of fish & chips. A seperate chips then extras too on top. Over £30!! This was our last night and was supposed to be a treat! The chips were not brilliant, the fish were just about cooked. (despite having waited about 25 minutes for the food!) My dad asked for lightly battered fish to which the guy replied no sorry and was not done! Man behind us also asked the same and was told yes no problem!! There was a woman and man working that night and I do not think they smiled even once??? Do not go here unless you really have no other option available to you at all! We were going to go to Caernarfon but thought we would support the local chip shop instead = big mistake!! We took our food away wish now had eaten inside instead and could have told them what I actually thought of their food!

We stopped by this fish n chips takeaway on Monday evening for our tea, as it was wet and rainy. The service was quick, but the chips were awful. They were like the size of nimble sticks, they didn't look like chip shop chips at all and were swimming in fat/ grease. The price of £2.40 for a large chips, they were the worst I have ever tasted and ended up putting them in the bin. Thank god I ordered fish cake and sausages, as they were a saviour and tasted great on a sandwich.

Popped in off the beach in Dinas Dinlle as the kids were hungry. The chips were really nice. I was pleasantly surprised as I was not expecting too much from a seasonal cafe. The chips were hot, fresh and tasty. We will be back and I have spread the word to family and friends.

I've just returned from a weekend staying at a caravan park down the road from the surfer chip shop. We arrived at about 8.50pm starving after a couple of hour drive. We entered the shop to a young boy, an older woman (who glared at us and then looked at her watch) and a younger man who all looked at us like we had 3 heads. We werent acknowledged at all. Think they close at 9, but if they were closed that's fine, we'd have gone somewhere else. The food was overpriced, small portions and the fish was full of bones. The food was wrapped, slapped on the counter and left there by the young boy who then served someone else. After a minute he looked at me, pointed at the numerous wrapped items and said 'there!' I asked for a bag and anyone would've thought I'd asked for the contents of his till. I know you have to pay 5p for a bag in Wales but having just spent that much on chips it wouldn't have made any difference. No bags....had to carry across to our van with poorly wrapped half open chips where grease ran out of the packet down my daughters leg. Think Alex polizzi would have a field day here!! Avoid at all costs!!

Yes, this was an adult portion of chips! £1.85 plus extra for fork and sauce. I feel ripped off. (Over a £10 for a family of five just on chips)

I have to give credit to the four young lads behind the counter! How they served the demanding never ending crowd in front of me at such speed I'll never know! The two infront of me ordered 13 bags of chips and were served in the blink of an eye. The place itself though is a bit of a let down- not very clean looking - the chips are ok- the sausages and fish looked awful. Husband took one look at the sausage and thought it was still raw and decided he couldn't face eating there at all but with a starving 4 year old wanting chips i bought one bag. Would not go back to be honest. Pricing similar to other chippies in the area.

Glad to see there was a place here for tea, but clearly the captive market means that no effort is needed, hence the take-it-or-leave it attitude. My tea was in a very floppy plastic beaker, so I asked for another one to place it inside to make it stronger. Blank looks all round! Then an older lady took over and provided a stronger cardboard cup, but with a manner so severe that what should have been a helpful act felt like some kind of punishment!

I should have been suspicious by the fact no one was eating inside The Surfer, and the over priced menu. However, it was wet and rainy and the children were hungry. I can't even rate this as half a star, but I have had to give it one to write this review. The fish and chips were swimming in grease, the bread was stale, all for the pricey sum of £30 to feed a family of 4. Avoid at all costs!

This used to be a good little fish and chip shop, not any more! We got fish and chips - so much grease on them I think the fish was trying to swim away in it! After eating only a few mouthfuls I gave up and threw the rest away . Will avoid unless some drastic changes .

As a local I have been in this shop/cafe a few times to pick up bits and bobs. Never really thought twice about the service. However today, we were on the beach an my friend was unfortunate enough to be stung by a weaver fish..... very very painful! We had both heard that the hottest water you can stand is a good way to help stop the sting in it's tracks. My friend was in a lot of pain so I ran quickly over to the nearest cafe/shop, which happened to be this one. I asked the gentleman behind the counter (who I believe to be the manager/owner by the way the young lad working there looked scared of him!) for some hot water, explaining the situation. From this moment I knew he wasn't going to be of any help! He said no, and ushered me out to the warden next door, who wasn't there, so I went back, and pleaded for some hot water.... He muttered some expletives under his breath, snatched my container and started to fill it. He then told me I'd have to pay 50p for it. (There was approx 100ml of hot water!) I had no money, so he poured the water down the sink and gave me my container back. At that point I got cross, told him what for and walked out.I couldn't believe how unhelpful he was! And turning my desperation in to a sale! Horrible, selfish man is all I can say!I did manage to get some hot water btw, from the lovely staff at Bwyty Lleu a bit further down the road, they even offered to help my friend off the beach and come to sit in their lovely cafe :)

On a cold October day beside a lovely beach the blue light from the fish and chip sign beckoned us in.... One adult and three kids -a cup of coffee, 3 x chips and cokes please... £14... gasp... expecting the biggest plate of chips for £2.50 per portion. With huge disappointment we received what looked like the bottom scraps from the frozen chip packet... tasted like they had been fried, left to go cold and then reheated... no potato just fat...The guy cooking was rude and thumped around with a bad attitude... facilities lacking as well, no towel or hand dryer- had to use toilet paper to dry my hands.NEVER AGAIN - stay away from this one...

Run down and shabby, service with a frown from the owner. STAY AWAY! - Kids had some iced lollies and a small coffee for myself to take away. Thought I had miss heard when the bill came to £5 - the coffee was £2.15! I would not have minded if it was an excellent coffee in a classy joint. Even had the audacity of selling out of date packets of honey roasted nuts for half price!!

Very pleasant staff but food to me was overpriced for the portion size especially in the take away section. At home we pay the same price for a fish twice the size. Ideal for a quick snack or warming cup of coffee on a cold day but I wouldn't go for a special occasion

AVOID THIS PLACE! Overpriced, small portions with waiting times that ruined our day. Wouldn't recommend and won't be going there again. We turned up for a quick bite to eat before going to a show in P
