Quick info
About Fairbourne Chippy
On Station Rd in Fairbourne, Fairbourne Chippy serves fish and chips cooked fresh to order, with Cod, Mini Cod and Plaice alongside Small and Regular Chips from a 33-dish menu. Tinned Roe also appears on the menu, alongside the usual range. Spicy curry sauce and mushy peas are offered as accompaniments. The shop takes walk-ins, with tables inside and benches outside for eating on site, and a wait can build since food is cooked to order during busy periods. It opens evenings only, Monday to Saturday, and stays closed on Sundays. Public toilets sit opposite the shop.

Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips cooked fresh to order draw the most consistent praise, with several reviewers specifically highlighting the spicy curry sauce as a standout alongside mushy peas. Portions are repeatedly called decent to generous, and diners note the batter comes out crispy without any greasy fish or chips in sight. Seating both inside and on outdoor benches gets mentioned favorably, and staff are called friendly and pleasant across most visits. One reviewer, however, describes a very different experience: staff who were "miserable, inefficient and very very slow," with a simple chips order taking nearly 20 minutes and a second order sitting finished for 10 extra minutes before being handed over. Aside from that account, the pattern is overwhelmingly positive, with multiple diners saying it ranks among the best fish and chips they've had and stating they'd return.

“Fish and Chips good and decent portion. Staff miserable, inefficient and very very slow. I have visited twice this week. First time for 2 portions of chips which took nearly 20 minutes waiting ready while other orders were carefully prepared. Second time our order was cooked in 15 minutes. It took a further 10 minutes of messing about doing other stuff to finally wrap it up and hand over.”

“Easily the best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time. Tables inside or benches outside. Clean public toilets opposite”

“We were staying a few miles away from Fairbourne, but were in Porthmadog when we decided to find a chip shop on the way back - and chose Fairbourne chippy based primarily on their reviews. And we were not disappointed! …”
