The Bay Chippy excels in providing generous portion sizes at wallet-friendly prices, with meals ranging from £1 to £10. Patrons rave about the crispy batter surrounding the fish; it’s both light and satisfying. The freshness of ingredients is another highlight. Everything is cooked to order, which might require a short wait, but the end result is always worth it. Customers appreciate the thoughtful touches, such as a slice of lemon included with fish dishes—details that elevate the experience. Family-friendly atmosphere is a big draw, making it perfect for groups, and the kids’ menu really appeals to families. Add to this the friendly and welcoming staff, and it’s no wonder that reviews from locals and tourists alike sing praises.
Most Disliked
While The Bay Chippy offers remarkable value, a few minor issues occasionally pop up. Some visitors note that during peak hours—especially Fridays—wait times can extend, leading to a crowded atmosphere and a reduced comfort level. Moreover, there have been mentions of missing condiments in takeout orders. It’s not uncommon to hear about a forgotten sachet of mayo or curry sauce, so double-checking your order can save disappointment later. Being a small establishment, it might sometimes feel bustling, and those looking for a quiet dining experience might find it a tad too lively during peak times. Nonetheless, these small downsides hardly overshadow the overall great experience at The Bay Chippy.

I recently grabbed a portion of classic British fish and chips from The Bay Chippy, and they did not disappoint! The chips were classic british chips just the way they should be. As soon as I got home, I couldn't resist devouring them so quickly that my best friend had to complain! That alone tells you how good they were. If you're after traditional, satisfying fish and chips, this spot is worth a visit.

Absolutely fantastic fish and chips from the bay chippy. 3 x portions of regular cod and chips, plus a scampi with chip butty, which was more than enough to fill 4 of us up. Everything was cooked freshly to order which meant there was a short 5 minute wait after ordering, however I'd happily wait for the freshness received. An optional slice of lemon with every fish dish, which I've never seen from a takeaway chippy before but it was a very welcome addition! Inside was lovely and clean, the staff were very welcoming. Only downside is we ordered 2 sachets of mayo, but once I'd made it to the beach with the rest of the order I only noticed they were missing then. My own fault!

I have been in the UK for more than 20 years, tried many fish and chip shops throughout the UK, the Bay Chippy fish and chip is the best I can tell. One bit and .... I am hooked 😀. I would recommend all visitors to Swansea give a try, you will never regret it.

Fish & Chips 😍 Really happy with the service and kindness of the staff! The fish and chips were freshly made and it was delicious. And as you can see big portions so you will be full afterwards. Easy to park if you are planning to collect your meal.

Moved into the area a few months ago and The Bay Chippy has been such a staple, especially as the weather's gotten warmer! Cannot recommend this store enough, their portion sizes are more than enough and sure to leave you full (especially if you get a large). The staff are friendly and a delight to chat to, definitely visit if you're nearby! What we got: Large Fish and Chips - crisp batter and well cooked fish, not too oily and fresh tasting. Chips, generous portion, and fluffy on the inside! Generous portion sizes and a massive fish! Battered Sausage Steak & Kidney Pie - filling and a nice pie.
