Yallops in Swansea

While on holiday my wife and I both had cod and chips. The shop exterior looked quite smart so we had high hopes. VERY disappointed. Cod portions were unbelievably small - each about the size of a fried egg. The chips were nasty and soggy. The batter was poor. Would never return. Later in the week we discovered Copper Fish near the pier which were amazing.

Didnt get to try the food unforrunately .. The only fish and chip shop in Mumbles that is open before 5pm .. cash only but you can pay £1 to use their cash machine .. umm no thankyou

Had chicken nuggets and chips on holiday. Nuggets were okay but chips were soggy and undercooked. Also cash only place but they 'conveniently' have a cash machine which charges £1 for transactions. So essentially prices are £1 more than you'd expect if you don't carry cash.

Chips are good. Staff are grumpy. They’ve made “cash only” into an ideology 🤣

Genuinely lovely chips and a great vegetarian selection. We ended up with a couple of portions of large chips, 3 cheese rissoles, 1 corned beef, and a couple of Richmond meat-free sausages (battered) - all great, nice that the vegetarians in the family could have a full meal that wasn’t just chips. Even the gravy was confirmed meat-free!

Cash only. Fish n chips ok. Appreciate fish cooked to order because of price but leads to soft batter. Nice to see good vegan range. Despite my comments one of the best in the area and I'd go back.

I would’ve scored 5/5 if there was homemade tartare sauce as this looks great from all the other reviews. We went on Saturday evening after the football and they had sold out- completely understandable!! The fish was crisp and fresh, as were the chips. Mushy peas were tasty but they had ran out after 2 portions (we had wanted 3!). Curry sauce was a good replacement. Great value for money. Cash only!

If u never bin mumbles before . just stay away and find somewhere eles , very expensive and very bad, Very dirty oil

We where Most disappointed with our fish and chips the fish was dry and the chips were tasteless it was not worth the money we paid we will never go there again

A very delicious fish and chips house. The portions are quite satisfying, the fish is tasty, and the chips are like freshly peeled, homemade, mom's potatoes! If you ever find yourself in Swansea, this is the place you must visit: Fish @ Yallops! Moreover, the staff is so courteous that when we mentioned we would eat in the park, they even brought the takeaway order to our table!

Decent fish and chips. Cash only. Seemed popular with a wait, but if it meant food that's not a problem

Awful, don’t waste your money! ,will never call again , terrible potions of the cod bites , looked more like scampi they were so small , rissoles all dried out , complaints ignored, much better portion sizes, quality and service at copper fish at the pier ,

Awful customer service, portion sizes are a joke. cod bite the size of a chip.

Overpriced, had chips which tasted so awful I was nearly sick.

Called here today for some food, 8.6.24, at 13.15, we walked in and the big guy behind the counter was blowing his nose into a hanky, he threw the hanky in the bin then with his hands started rubbing his nose clean, did not wash his hands, then carried on cooking, we were disgusted, we walked straight back out, SHOCKING!!!!!

Exquisite chip shop! I Was kindly served by a kind young man called Harry who handled my order with extreme care and precision. Thanks very much!

Gorgeous piece of plaice on Friday, cooked fresh to order and was super tasty. Home made tartare sauce was icing on the cake though for best fish and chips I've had for a very long time! Plenty of parking nearby and a nice park directly opposite to enjoy your food - the seafront unfortunately was a building site otherwise would have perched there! It's cash only though which seems a bit odd these days - cashpoint directly outside but charges £1 for withdrawals :-\ That loses a star for me sorry!

Fablas food, worth travelling down from the Diff for a belly full of grub.

The worst chips I've ever eaten.They were cold and not fresh.I don't recommend this place at all!!!

Family day out, kids in the park and fancied fish&chips but told cash only, lots of posters to say cash is king etc- yet the cash point in their charges me to withdraw? How is that fair? They said its nothing to do with them but shops are paid to have a machine- if cash is so important Atleast opt for a free cash machine. Everyone left disappointed but I refuse to pay for cash and not practical to walk up to co-op with kids so we went elsewhere.

One of the best fish and chips we’ve had, we go all over the country in our VW camper so have visited quite a few! It’s cash only btw

Service was very quick. Quite expensive for what I received, but that's just the norm now for most chip shops. A little disappointed with the sausage in batter but the curry sauce made up for it as was full of flavour.

Quality of food was good but expensive.

After two months on the road in our motorhome, we've stopped at many chippys. Best portion size and very friendly and welcoming to us tourists. Recommended an amazing hike which was one of the best we've ever done. Large chips and rissole was so good we went back the next night! Shame it wasn't open but will definitely return again when in the area. Thank you!

Brilliant value for money on the food with fair portion sizes. Curry sauce and corned beef Rissole are my favourite menu items, much nicer in comparison to some other local tradition chip shops. Only downside is the only accept cash but they do have a cash machine located just outside.

We went here on Sunday and we got two chips and fish cakes which were ak but one was salty and the other was bland and the chips did not have much flavour we also had two large chips and gravy which had more flavour and we're better but were not amazing all in all good fish and chips but wouldn't be my first choice when I am down mumbles

If you are in the Mumbles and fancy Fish and Chips you can't do better than Yallops . Quality , value for money and great people , give them a try , you will not be disappointed ! Just to add , I note some people are complaining about wanting good Fish and Chips and then moaning about pricing , the prices charged here are in line with a quality product across the UK , and maybe they haven't noticed but the cost of things has risen a little lately - if they want cheaper good luck to them , you get what you pay for !

Having had a long day travelling to the Mumbles, the wife and I were really looking forward to some local fish and chips. However when I saw the prices I opted for just for a large chips. The chips themselves were fine, had better but also much worse before. However I would definitely not describe the portion as large more like a small and at £3.90 a portion, sorry but they are a complete rip off.

Nothing better than eating Chips by the sea.

Great chips, very generous portions, very tasty perfect. friendly staff, Eat in or take away park just across the road with picnic tables.

We had medium cod, chips and mushy peas. The fish wasn't very big but it was very nice. Chips were very good, as were the mushy peas. All for around £8. For reference, the large cod is £9.10.l We will be going again.

Great food, it's cash only but their is an ATM on the outside. Service was OK obviously new staff. Now the menu makes little sense. There a couple of ways to buy the same thing atvdifferent prices. The large cod isn't that large but it is very tasty. We bought cod and chips and a battered sausage. We would have been better buying a large fish meal, and maybe a sausage meal , sadly I can't remember the winning combo. But as it was there was enough anyway. Don't just rush in and order, spend minute read the menu and you could save some money. But to reiterate the food is great.👍

Back home in Spain now,and still dreaming of the tastiest fish and chips I've ever had. The owners are so friendly and patient. Very clean. See you next year guys.. xxxx

Have eaten here since I was a child and the food is always top notch! Chips are always delicious and I still all these years later travel down just for their gravy. It’s the best chip shop gravy ever! ❤️

Great piece of fish cooked fresh to order. Free homemade tartar sauce was super and chips were perfect. Will be back again this weekend.

10/10 chips, fish was crispy and succulent. Very friendly staff, especially one girl in particular - would recommend for an easy lunch if you’re in the area!

Great food, great value and great prices. Thank you.

The most expensive and smallest fish portions I have ever come across. Chips were less than average quality. Cash only - claiming to be afraid of 'big brother'.

Great food friendly stuff cash only too love it!

Lovely and clean, food cooked fresh. Quality offering of food. Cash only but there is a cash point

We bought 2 portions of fish bite and chips. The fishbites were so small, that if it wasn't for the batter, it could have passed for a big chip, and yet it cost a staggering £1.60! Half of the chips weren't even cooked. We bought 2 portions of fishbite and chips and two cans of Tango and the bill came to £11.90. What a rip off. Never darkening its door again. ! YUCK!

The cod and chips were really good. Best we've had for a long time. The service was excellent and the shop was very smart and spotlessly clean. Highly recommended 👌

Fresh fish and chips. Lady over counter helpful, portion sizes reasonable. Recommended for a quick lunch. Cash machine on site

Cold chips even though we had to wait for some items to be cooked. Cash only too

chewiest awful chips I've ever had the displeasure of trying to eat. Dry, lacking moisture, as if they had been put in a dehydrator. Bought these passing by on the way to the beach so not possible to return to the shop. At £4 a portion, also the most expensive chips I've ever purchased. The fish portion prices were ridiculously high at £9.40 for one small cod. I had high hopes I'd enjoy these chips since the place was recommended to me by a friend, sadly disappointed and will never return.

£13.95 for large Fish and Chips,a very don’t care less attitude from whoever was working behind the counter.Fish was "ok" chips were old and re-heated,cash only...I even think they charge 50 pence for tomato ketchup,dont waste your time and money going here,not what it used to be.

£9-10p for a small peace of fish, No chips, I know fish is expensive But that's a rip off, can get twice the size in chip shops for £7 to £8 pounds With chips,k9

Good to see battered vegan sausage on the menu. Unfortunately the batter wasn't properly cooked and was soft and not crispy as you'd expect. A bit expensive too.

Lush! Lovely food… lovely welcome..fab staff reasonably priced .. we enjoyed the sausage and chips gave my nephew extra chips as well 👌🏽

colwyn avenue chippy is better. no cheese.

Really good for a chip shop that we just stumbled on.

Came here on a bank holiday. No cards accepted. What kind of respectable place doesn't take card. Such a dodgy practice.

Delicious!!! The food was cooked exceptionally, the fish was lovely and thick with crispy batter. The pies were well cooked and soggy and were flavoursome. The chips weren't greasy and a reasonable portion. The curry sauce was "perfect"(my daughters verdict). We would have given 5 stars but we was not impressed with the way the owner/manager spoke to the young girl who served us. She was a pleasant, efficient young lady and didn't deserve to be spoken to the way she was.

always go here when we are down the mumbles. very good food

Fish freshly cooked, and good service, but be warned it’s CASH ONLY, nearest Cash Point at CO-OP 150m away.

Really nice fish cooked to perfection. Dogs were allowed in while we waited 👍🏽

Haven't eaten there in about 20 years and I'm glad I've returned...fish chips and mushy peas were outstanding 👌...staff polite and price not bad either

Had food here today what an absolute joke if a place super crazy prices and food was absolutely disgusting. Wife had a big plack hair wrapped up in her food. Avoid avoid avoid. Should be ashamed of themselves

Amazing fish and chip shop! Would defo recommend 💞 fish and chips cooked to order, friendly staff and good priced. 10/10!

Outstanding crispy chips with a lovely Rissole made by friendly staff it also has a great little dine in seating area, will definitely come again.

Popped in lunch time on a Friday, ordered two fish and chips, lady behind pointed out Friday special, two cod large chips and mushy peas, £2.40 cheaper, food was cooked fresh and was delicious. Also able to eat inside as was a bit windy outside.Thank you.

Ordered cod and chips for the family. The website mentions large and small cod, but they only had one option at the shop which was priced at the website large price but was certainly small compared with a standard serving at my local chipper at home. There were bones in one peace which is unusual for chipper cod. The chips were very average and a bit soggy. Overall we all thought the quality was poor for the price and decided we wouldn’t go back. Also, we phoned our order ahead and was told it would be 10 minutes. We might be wrong, but we got the impression that the order wasn’t started until we arrived for pick up. Cash only. Cash? Can’t remember what cash is.

Delicious food. Hot and tasty. Quick and friendly service. Excellent portions. No complaints at all. Best chippy in Mumbles.

When I come to the UK, I really like eating fish and chips. But these were the soggiest chips I've ever eaten. And there was no ketchup either. Cash only. 1 Star for the very friendly staff.

Really good food fish and chips I would say best in Swansea 100% unbelievably good food.

Cash only! What century are we living in like!!

My fiance and I visited today. Both had the most delicious fish & chips. I also had curry sauce. Was a bit disappointed as mushy peas & baked beans were unavailable.. but still that was only minor. Would have liked a napkin to wipe our hands after is another minor. All in all the food we had was great! 👌

Very nice treat with the grandchildren after a nice stroll on the promenade ,friendly service, and generous portions, definitely worth a visit!!!!..

Chips are always good here, only downfall is not taking card payment as we had to go find a cashpoint.

Dog friendly nice food nice staff.

Cod & chips is one of the top takeaway or eat-in meals on the menu. Mouth-watering 😋

Excellent sausage & chips at good value.

Genuinely brilliant chips, probably the best I've had in 20 years. An outstanding combination of excellently cooked chips (soft on the inside with a lightly battered exterior) without much grease at all. The staff were lovely and seem to genuinely care about doing well. I'll definitely go back when I'm in Mumbles or near Joe's!

If you're down mumbles way, then Yallops is your must go chippie for really good fish n chips. Best enjoyed on a bench on the sea front with plenty of salt n vinegar. The smell will drive everyone passing by crazy and make them really hungry too. The food is always reliable. Mumbles prices, and cash only. However, worth every penny.

El mejor Fish & Chips que hemos comido. Buenisimo y muy recomendable. Sirven mucha comida, ideal para llevarse la comida....

Fish aand chips soo expensive and full of bones , garbage!

Haven't had chips for a while, was on holiday and really enjoyed it

Excellent food and a nice seating area. Cash only with an ATM that charges £1. Annoying but not unreasonable.

Horrible fish it was all soggy and chewy, we had two fish and chips in a tray and a gravy £23.50 what the he'll is going on with the chip shops with these prices, are they tying to close their selves down.

Very slow service, very expensive and some of the worst fish & chips I’ve ever had. Was the fish fresh or frozen? I would guess frozen.

Lovely fish and chips which 8s reasonablypriced, friendly and helpful staff

Decent cod chips. Their jumbo sausage in batter was even better. Best I've had in Wales so far

Delicious batter. Perfectly cooked fish. Lovely service. Highly recommended.

We had fish and chips, beautiful

Expensive, slow service, cash only, but nice curry sauce

Lovely fresh chips and cod bites were delicious. Not overly expensive. Staff friendly and helpful. Would recommend 👍

Great service and amazing chips. Very well priced. Thank you

Nice Welcoming staff, but awful, soggy chips, bitterly disappointed

I enjoyed my food here. The service was great and the food was fresh and hot !! You do need to have cash or you can use the ATM machine in store. I definitely would come back again when I visit mumbles !

Ordered x 2 fish bites and chips received 6 tiny pieces of fish most of which was batter The chips were ok although expensive for the amount you got

There were 20 of us. A lot to ask but the owner accommodated us and was very generous. Huge portions of fries and fish was good too.

It was a pleasure to deal with Nick in order to arrange food for a Summer school trip in July 2022. I sent the order to him beforehand and spoke to him on the day about twenty minutes before we collected the food. Food was cooked for 48 pupils in such an organised way, each meal was labelled and all staff were friendly. Pupils and colleagues thoroughly enjoyed the food and am looking forward to return next year. Roedd yn bleser, diolch yn fawr iawn.

Not worth one star Slow service poor quality food. 😕 best place for it was the litter bin.

A great fish and chips Massive portions Fresh cooked fish Lovely curry sauce Kids had chicken nuggets, chips and beans Delicious Super friendly staff and place was really clean!!!

Dodgey fishcake, and the last time it was a gone off rissole. One bitten twice shy. Only this it was twice bitten. I should have known better, silly me

Amazing chips and friendly staff!! Only downside is that it's cash only.

Went at 5.30pm and they had no customers and no fish cooked (so not expecting any). Partner really fancied chips. Very expensive. Chips were cold, greasy and soggy. Only take cash. Thrown most of it away. I haven't reviewed on here for years, but I'm writing this review sat across the road as it was so bad. Go elsewhere. A business like this doesn't deserve customers.

Excellent food, good staff and dog friendly.. 👍

Fish and chips were fine as was the service
