The best fish and chips that I have ever had. As well as the standard favourites, they also have…read moredaily specials, depending on what was caught locally. The food is all locally and sustainably sourced, so it's a fairly guilt-free way to eat, calories notwithstanding! Many of the pies are made in house rather than ordered from a supplier, so it is always worth asking if there is something special to try. Portions are big so you probably won't need to go near the large options unless you're sharing. Prices are pretty cheap considering the quality and quantity of the food, and there is ample parking out back, particuarly useful if you choose to sit in the small cafe that adjoins to the takeaway.

Assured that it was a good one by a passerby I ordered cod and chips and it was served up barely after I had sat down to wait the customary 10 or so minutes. Not a good sign. The chips were ok, although definitely not on the "freshly cooked" side. But the fish was the worst I have eaten in my 49 years. It gives me no pleasure to leave negative views but by the time I realised how bad it was...grey, over cooked and abysmal, the night was too cold and I was too far away to do anything other than munch some chips and dispose of it. All I can hope is I don't get sick tomorrow. If this review ever gets back to them I hope they sort that terrible muck out. I didn't even mention the soggy batter.

Sometimes it can be a bit of a gamble though on what the chips are like, I always try and get mine from a fresh batch and always willing to wait. I'm not a fan of plastic containers in chippy's (bring back the newspaper!) so the fish can sometimes be a little soggy but still remains hot and tasty.

And one thing's for sure.... I missed out all this time! ~ Atmosphere: Out of all the chippies in Cwmbran town centre, I would say Mr Chippy has the most uninspiring decor. This place is a takeaway through and through and looks more like a prison kitchen than anything else. Regardless, I've never been someone to put much weight on decor. However, the atmosphere should be something you keep in mind depending on what kind of mood you want to go for (maybe not a great place for a first date!). ~ Customer Service: The customer service here is awesome! Everyone was very friendly. I had a chance to witness interactions between a few regulars and the staff; the staff knew all their orders and made conversation. I'm completely not surprised that Mr Chippy has its share of loyal customers with that kind of service! ~ Food: I ordered my standard: fish and chips with gravy on the side. The food was very enjoyable overall. The fish was tender and moist. The only downside is that the chips had a strange aftertaste to them - I couldn't really put my finger on it. They tasted.... extremely waxy if that made any sense? I covered them up with my gravy so it wasn't a big deal but it was definitely offputting. --- I'm quite happy with my experience at Mr Chippy and would be happy to come back. I didn't get ill from the aftertaste from the chips so it probably wasn't anything unsanitary. The fish was delicious and they had great service, so I wouldn't say no!

Not sure the rationale on this but the front of shop asked the management who confirmed only an adult size portion is applicable with a kids meal. Ridiculous. We have eaten two meals in the restaurant in the last week alone. This decision doesn't make sense as the girl on front of shop showed me they have the smaller dips size it's just management we're having a tough line on something so small. Guarantee won't be coming back as went around the corner and explained Pages position and obliged a small container of curry at a reduced price.

To be fair, the…read moreestablishment that received all these commendations was the Pontypool branch - this Cwmbran restaurant is an expansion from the success of shop number 1. I haven't personally been to the Pontypool shop, but I can't say that I'm too impressed with Page's. Atmosphere: There's 2 entrances: 1 to the restaurant itself and another entrance for purely the takeaway service. Slightly confusing when I've never been here before because the takeaway entrance is the first thing you see and the restaurant entrance is around the corner, but I eventually made it to the right place. The decor of Page's is simple, but very lovely and clean. A huge step up from the typical grimy chippy. Customer Service: Pretty decent. We were immediately greeted and shown to our table. The food took a bit longer than I thought it would for a chippy, but I assume it's just because everything is cooked fresh to order, so that isn't too big of a deal. Food: --- What we ordered: ~ Seafood Platter for Two (£7.95) Calamari rings, king prawns, cod croquettes, and fried battered whitebait. Came with sweet chili and tartar sauces. Really delicious. The calamari rings, king prawns, and croquettes were all cooked perfectly. The whitebait was alright, but too fishy for my taste. Cooked well I think I just didn't like it personally. The starter was really delicious, but I do think that it was really expensive for what it was worth. ~ Cod & Chips w/ Garden Peas (£7.25) ~ Gravy on the side (£1.50) Nice, but overpriced. The worst part of the meal was the gravy. Was really bland and absolutely tasted, and was a tiny portion for how much I paid as well. To get any flavour into the gravy, I just ended up splashing in some vinegar and lemon juice. The cod was very lovely and cooked well. Succulent and juicy, with thin and crispy batter that complemented the fish rather than overwhelming it. I'll never understand why some restaurants leave on the skin though! Unfortunately I wasn't too fond of the chips. They were slightly too hard for me. The garden peas were... well they were peas. --- Overall, Page's Fish & Chips really know their way around cooking seafood. The seafood platter starter and also the cod were cooked immaculately. However, everything else fell a bit flat on its face - especially the gravy! Judging from the food alone, I wouldn't mind returning. However, with the hefty pricetag along with it, it might be a while until my next visit.
