Fantastic chippy. Everything freshly cooked. Fish and Chips got to be one of the best I've tried in North Wales. Fish was cooked perfectly, hard to get hold of a decent crispy fish. All responsibility priced as well. Definitely worth the visit.

Had small fish and chips £5.50. the chips were very nice, golden and delicious. The fish was a fair size, very fresh and the batter was crispy. Enjoyed it but couldn't quite manage all the chips. Good portion size and friendly helpful staff, will return 😀

The two portions of chips I ordered were fantastic, the 40 minutes it took to 'prepare' them not so much especially after being told we couldn't have fish as it would be 30 minutes to prepare 🤷🏼‍♀️. I wouldn't mind but there was only me and one other customer in the shop. I'm not sure what was going on as one minute customers were being told no orders were being taken as they were closing and 15 minutes later they were serving again with no mention of closing?!

Decided to go to the beach for a stroll and to grab some fish and chips for tea to end the day.

Stumbled upon this establishment situated in the middle of scouse Rhyl…

While the food was nice and piping hot the 30-40 minute wait was really frustrating. People being turned away because of the time it would take to cook their food would run over their closing time then people arriving after them being served. I stood and waited for my food and genuinely laughed out loud at the bickering going on between the 4 staff that were attempting to prepare simple fish and chips. The only male that worked in the establishment did nothing but moan and turn people away and cherry pick the orders he decided he wanted to make. Nobody knew what food had been prepared for a certain order and on a whole it was really comical to watch.

I think next time I’ll save myself the wait and grab something on the way home.

Food 8/10
Customer service 2/10
Comedy value 10/10

We got mini fish and chips and it was nice. The customer service there is absolutely awful though and ruins the whole experience. I have been to much nice chippys that also have good customer service.
We were stood waiting for 20 minutes with every member of staff ignoring us until finally one asked the guy cooking the fish if they were taking orders again?!!! They had never even told us they had stopped. They didn't even say sorry we are really busy but we will be with you as soon as we can. Just completely ignored. Once they finally took our order it took ages to finally get our order. When it's busy why are they only making fish to order?!!! Just put a couple of each in as extra so you can always have an order ready of needed! Then like 20 mins before closing, if you're quiet, stop putting extra in so they used.

Lovely fish and chips here. Cooked while you wait and we'll worth the wait.
