Visited after seeing some reviews on Instagram and it didn't disappoint! Lovely staff and delicious food. Big portions too. Will definitely return and Will be recommending to family and friends.

Absolutely amazing cod and chips and its the best cod and chips I've ever had. My grandad said its the best cod and chips he's had in 30 years. I loved the atmosphere of the whole restaurant and the staff is amazing. I have absolutely no complaints.

I have had numerous take aways now, but my first time to eat at the restaurant last night with my colleagues. All I can say is wow!!! This is a hidden treasure in bargoed. First off, I got in contact as their website showed they were fully booked (i can see why!!) - just by chance they had a cancellation and were able to accommodate us. I even had a phone call off Drew the evening before to make sure I was happy with seating arrangements! Food was absolutely outstanding, every single one of us thoroughly enjoyed !! Big portions, and piping hot! We had table service from a lovely young girl and she was also fabulous, excellent at her job. I can't think of a single negative about this place, even the decor inside is lovely! 10/10 Cant wait to come back, Thanks drew and team!!! X

Great fish and chips. We popped over from Merthyr and enjoyed it.

Very friendly staff, great quality food and fast service. Absolutely loved the fish and my partner loved the chicken burger. Would definitely come back in the future.

Absolutely stunning place. Food was 10 out of 10! Lovely seating booths upstairs telling you about the different collery's. Seating downstairs too. Definately will be back.

Nothing short of sensational! Probably the best fish & chips I’ve ever had (and I love fish & chips!). We ate in, and had a booth upstairs which was really comfortable. The decor pays tribute to the coal mining heritage of the area and is done really well. The food was terrific. Amazingly crispy and tasty batter, huge pieces of fish (we had cod & hake in our family and they were both brilliantly cooked), really tasty, well-cooked chips, and delicious sides (curry sauce, gravy) Nothing was greasy at all. The kids also had desserts which were great portions too. Really clean restaurant / takeaway area, super friendly staff (we were served by Drew who was great). Cannot praise this highly enough...will definitely be going back!

Can’t recommend this fish shop enough, I had the gourmet seafood special, it was stunning and cooked to perfection! Beautiful setting and the staff were amazing! A very easy and well deserved 5 stars
