Do…read moreyou have any idea how hard it is to not want fish & chips from this place for lunch every day? Let me tell you - it's pretty fucking difficult. Atmosphere: This fish shop is extremely tiny and takeaway only. There's only enough standing room for a few people, much less room to eat - no tables or chairs anyway. Customer Service: The people here are absolutely lovely and a great example of a local family run independent business. They are very personable and learn the names of their regulars and what they've been up to. This type of shop is one of those that you really wish to succeed. Food: I normally go for the regular Fish & Chips with gravy to dip my chips in as well. The fish is battered to perfection - delightfully crisp on the inside with tender fish in the center. They don't skimp on the portions either; the cod they use is huge and they pile on the chips for you as well. All this at reasonable prices. Even if you're not a fish person, Wainfelin Fish Ship also has loads of other options such as steak pies or battered sausages. My boyfriend loves the battered sausage with cheese & chips. Yum! Wainfelin Fish Shop deserves all the success it gets with regulars from around Pontypool piling in constantly. Sometimes I feel guilty for getting fish & chips so regularly instead of healthy homecooking, but with the quality at this place... the guilt feels oh so good.

The food is all locally and sustainably sourced, so it's a fairly guilt-free way to eat, calories notwithstanding! Many of the pies are made in house rather than ordered from a supplier, so it is always worth asking if there is something special to try. Portions are big so you probably won't need to go near the large options unless you're sharing. Prices are pretty cheap considering the quality and quantity of the food, and there is ample parking out back, particuarly useful if you choose to sit in the small cafe that adjoins to the takeaway.

We got there a few hours before closing time and couldn't get a table right away - we were told to come back in an hour but we asked if it would still be possible to get their fish & chips. They asked how many of us would want it and all 5 of us did. Ha! Luckily, they were able to hold enough for us to come back once a table was open. The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside. The chips were tasty and the mushy peas were actually good which I wasn't expecting! I'd travel all the way back to England just for this meal at the Scallop Shell.

I love the decor- very mythical fishermen with posters for movies and wanted signs. They have an extensive menu, including alcohol and their cider comes in 500ml bottles. I've been told it's quite expensive in local standards but for the atmosphere it's worth it. I'd like to give a shoutout to one of the chefs. We had shown up here and the hostess had said they were not taking any one without a reservation. But there were open tables. Disappointed, we walked out. Standing in front of the restaurant, trying to figure out what to do, the cook comes out and says they will make room for us. Absolutely the sweetest. We were so stoked to eat at this place again. He even brought out tasty food out to us himself!

The local chippy may have won some awards, but the takeaway vibe isn't so enticing. So when you want a bit more of a dining experience this is a modest cafe style setting that's nicely decorated in the centre of town. We parked in the back streets on a meter. My haddock and chips and Sam's cod and chips were freshly made and really good. Our waitrees gave us friendly service and was attentive. We went in the early evening in early Jan and it was pretty empty.

It's all to easy…read moreto be drawn into one of the franchises that are around thinking that you will get top quality fish and chips. The reality is that this small shop tucked quietly around the corner from Mermaid Quay offers the crispiest of batter and the best cooked chips you will find in this part of town. You may well find yourself queuing up outside the door for service but if that doesn't tell you something, when you get inside the door and see how well kept the food preparation areas are, and then you are greeted by the friendly staff who are clearly rushed off of their feet, you will notice that the prices are very reasonable. This is a locally owned store rather than a large franchise and the quality of the freshly cooked fish really shows the difference. If you're in the bay and want this kind of take away food then you should definitely make the 2 minute journey away from the bay to give them a try.

Its only a ten minute drive (traffic allowing) from Cardiff's City Centre but it feels like you are in the middle of the country with its well kept landscaped gardens surrounded by mature evergreens. The service was great and an AA rosette and an RAC restaurant award are testament to the high standards and superb food. I had the signature dish which was the low-braised Welsh lamb shank with rosemary, root vegetable mash and port and redcurrant jus £15.50 - it was DEEELISH!!!!!! You'd think this place would be pricey but its not. Early diners (Monday to Friday, 6pm until 7.30pm) can choose from the table d'hote menu, which offers three courses for £21.50. Within and after these hours, and on Saturdays, there is an extensive à la carte menu with main courses that range from £14.50. Sunday lunch is available at £20 per person and advanced booking is recommended.

This is actually probably the nearest fish and chip shop to where I live, however due to the excellence that Five Star (Station Road) and the good reputation of Top Gun, until recently I'd never even been to Victoria Fish Bar. The food in my opinion is pretty average, in particular I really wasn't that keen on the fish. The staff on the other hand were incredibly friendly and chatty and I almost come back purely due to them. What is special about this place though, is that it's one of the only Fish and Chip shops which is open on a Sunday. So whilst from Monday to Saturday I'd recommend going somewhere else, if you find yourself on a Sunday with a desperate craving for Fish and Chips, you know just where to go.

The food is as you would expect of a mcDonalds - fast food burgers, salads and fries, with desserts and milkshakes/soft drinks.

And we were so glad they did. It's a long drive from Crickhowell, but well worth it. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, Kate was extremely efficient in getting us all drinks as people met up and chatted. We were not rushed to get to our table, she appreciated this special event. The menu was wonderful, something for meat eater, fish lovers, and vegetarians alike. The food was divine - using locally sourced seasonal ingredients and I believe the vegetables come direct from Kate's dads farm. They actually tasted like the fresh vegetables from my childhood, picked from our back yard. My Scallop Ravioli was incredible and I'm told the beef and lamb were mouth watering.
