Hoping to have fish & chips on the foreshore this evening. Blow me if this place wasn’t closed! Ruined our plans. Makes no sense to be running a business and not open on a bank holiday weekend. Why doesn’t the owner sell the business to someone who really wants to work hard and provide a service for Laugharne residents and holiday makers alike.

Tried several times to get fish and chips from this shop during our week's holiday in Laugharne but no matter when we went it was always shut. No notice in window explaining why or advising of new hours. Eventually asked lady serving in the nearby gift shop (highly recommended by the way, beautiful gifts!) if she knew what their opening hours were and to my amazement she advised that the shop has closed permanently, v disappointing. A notice in the window letting customers know this might have been helpful.

We visited this shop a number of times during our two week stay in Laugharne before we actually found it open. Chips were hard (sounded like gravel being dropped on a tin roof as I put them on the plate) dry and luke warm despite eating them within five minutes of leaving the shop & priced at £4 regular and £5 large. Whether they were trying to create a triple cooked effect, I've no idea but really didn't achieve it. Battered sausage wasn't battered once you cut into it as the batter just fell off the sausage, again very hard and very dry. Menu quite limited and premises not particularly inviting. Staffed by two ladies who really didn't seem particularly happy to be there and definitely could never be classed as friendly and welcoming. Wasnt offered salt and vinegar which would have made it all a little bit more palatable. So disappointing after a long day exploring the beautiful local area.

Would love to review, however when we got there at 7.05pm, it had already closed despite the info saying 7.30pm! No info on the door, or even a note to say ‘sorry closed early’ . So many people were turning up, just to be disappointed, especially during holiday season.

Popped in and had a regular portion of chips. The chips were a good portion and so was the price but the quality was poor including some bad ones.

I've been to a few chip shops in my years but these were the best chips Iver ever had, anywhere. Not the cheapest mind

Really tasty fish and chips, freshly cooked and with a great batter. Gravy and curry also were good. Just remember to take some cash as they don't take card payments.

On a cold day, I was very glad (with my wife and our friends) to have some lunch here - we had the Welsh Cawl and bread. It was really excellent. And quick service. My wife and I will be back in Laugharne in a few weeks time - I hope we can come back for the Welsh Cawl. If Dylan Thomas was still alive - I am quite certain he would be eat here too! (Well, we can all imagine, can't we!)

We visited the area for a week in August, and visited Laugharne Castle and the infamous Boathouse where Dylan Thomas got his inspiration for his writing. Lunchtime came, and we spotted this Chippy laid back a little bit. A very friendly lady took our order and explained that the cod would be cooked fresh. Sure enough within a few minutes we were called and served piping hot fresh cod and chips, including our granddaughters childrens Cod bites. We even had a jumbo sausage for our pet dog! We sat outside on benches, and thoroughly enjoyed our delicious freshly cooked fish and chips, the best we had in the whole area! Fully recommend this family and pet friendly chippy, awesome fresh food, with great service and friendly chat.

Expensive for a small portion of fish and chips, no forks, served in a carboard box, and do not try to enquire about issues you may have, an older woman becomes very unfriendly, even if you try to explain in a polite quiet manner.Parking: No parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair friendly.

£5.50 for a ‘child’s’ meal…..came with 2 chicken nuggets!!!! (Just come back from Mevagissey in Cornwall and we paid £3.50 and it came with 4 nuggets!!)Chips were average, just like the unfriendly service and run down shop. Overpriced and portions were poor. Won’t be returning

We have been here numerous times in the past and they were excellent 10/10. So, we came back again looking forward to our fish and chips. The chips had a mixture of small pieces which were more like scraps. The fish was extremely greasy. On returning to ask if we could have new chips, we were greeted by a very rude lady who refused to do so and told us there was nothing wrong with them. We did finally get the money back for 2 portions of chips but maybe we should have realised why there wasn’t a queue at all. Very disappointed!
