Took my nephew for a treat. The chips were over cooked and the pie looked like it had been on display for a few days. It was dry and inedible. Years ago it was the best chip shop around, now it’s definitely one of the worst

The main meals are lovely and good value. The kids meals not quite as good but decent servings. Overall it’s good value for this day and age and dog friendly. I hope it stays good as a lot of restaurants have gone down hill since covid and are now too expensive.

Came in on a cold afternoon and we had a large teacake, custard slice, brownie, icecream and two hot chocolates between the two of us and grandson. Excellent service, great food and drink at a very fair price....really

Excellent friendly service. In fact this equals the very best service that I've had in any restaurant for a very long time. Excellent chips exactly the way that I like. The batter on the fish was lovely and crispy. 4 out of 5 for the fish itself.Update 3/1/24:-Excellent calamari salad starter. Good tarta sauce. My partner's hamburger dish was fine. Unfortunately, my haddock in batter fell well below the standard that I find acceptable. I don't believe that the fish was particularly fresh nor of fine quality. I left nearly half on my plate unfinished and uneaten. I paid good money this evening and I expect better. Sadly, this letdown seems to be the trend in many - once-fine - fish & chip restaurants.

Visited Franco's for the first time yesterday and would highly recommend. We had the cooked breakfast, including vegan option with super thick toast! Excellent service with very friendly staff, also baby and dog friendly! Will definitely be back soon.

Was very glad that we found this place. Went in for coffee and had a look at the menu. Was pleased to see so many gluten free options. Came back later with friends, we all enjoyed our meal. I had gf cod and chips, the others had steak and stilton pie. Nice setting and ambience, and lovely staff.Dietary restrictions: They do a gluten free batter, separate fryer for gf food. Also offered a potato topping for the steak pie. Salads etcParking: Plenty parking

It's one of my favourite places, food is out of the world. Great location on the sea front. Staff are always professional and

Doggy designated dining area which was excellent for us and pooch. Nice food and uninterrupted views of the beach. Polite and friendly service from all.

A fabulous dog friendly venue. So needed in this area. Us dog owners are year round customers, not just seasonal. Shame other establishments don't catch on as we provide extra income for you all. So nice to be inside in the warmth after a walk on the
I've been hear before with friends and always enjoyed, but my experience today was epic. Table for one, the view is special from mumbles to the steel works harbour and everything in between. Great service very polite staff, food was quick tasty and very filling, I had a veggie option there's quite a few on the menu. But looking around and I saw meat pies burgers and fish, what a place definitely on my list to visit again.Vegetarian options: I had Glamorgan sausages x 3 chips mushy peas and gravy. It was lovely, there was more veggie options available but I enjoyed my sausage and chips.Parking: There's a line of parking, but the place does getting busy. Try it and you'll see why.

Food was delicious. Fish and chips. Fresh and piping hot. The waitresses were fantastic, always helpful and polite. Atmosphere relaxed. Would definitely go again.

12 humans and 13 dachshunds enjoyed a relaxed dinner here. Lovely food, happy and engaging staff, a perfect combination! Very dog friendly, very family friendly, and right on the beach!

We visited Franco's on Saturday, 4th November 2023, with a view to having some lunch by the beach as we have done many times before because of the wonderful location and views, great staff, and amazing food.Unfortunately, we didn't get to eat. My dog will be 15 in January and had a seizure whilst we sat at a table reviewing the menu.I would like to thank the staff and other customers on adjacent tables for being so considerate and caring during and after his seizure.Once his seizure had passed and he was back with us, we carried him outside for him to recover totally before taking him home.I would also like to especially thank the very kind chef who brought him out a pot of doggie ice cream and some ice to cool him down, he devoured the ice cream without coming up for air and then wanted to chase the seagulls.I have washed your blanket that we wrapped him in to bring him home. Thank you, and i will return this to you at the earliest opportunity.My little man is doing well, and we have not had any further seizures. We really appreciate your kindness and will be back at some point to have our meal. Francos has always been a welcoming, friendly, wonderful restaurant that goes the extra mile, and I have been coming for the last 6 years. Thank you ❤️

We only had hot chocolate, it was lovely but a bit expensive, but DOG FRIENDLY MENU seemed to be in the perfect location. Hostess was so friendly and accommodating. I'm looking forward to going back in the
