About Village Plaice
On Heol Llanelli in Kidwelly, Village Plaice is a fish and chips takeaway with three items on the menu. Homemade Rissoles are made on site, including a cheese rissole option alongside the standard version. Chicken Curry And Chips also features on the menu, giving an alternative to the usual fish and chips order. Fish is cooked to order rather than held in advance. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, and the shop usually has a wait at busy periods, though large orders can move through quickly. It opens Tuesday to Saturday and stays closed on Mondays and Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Fish cooked fresh to order draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling it outstanding and worth driving out of the way for. Close behind, the chips earn frequent mentions, though several describe them as undercooked or "bitty" rather than crisp. Other named favorites include the cheese rissole, singled out as among the best tried, and one large Saturday order that came with a free bottle of pop and a wait of only fifteen minutes. Service is generally described as friendly and quick, with clean surroundings and reasonable prices noted more than once. One long-time customer, however, reports that food quality recently declined, describing soggy batter, watery-tasting fish, and undercooked chips, and states that two people in their party were sick for several days after eating there; that reviewer also says calls to the shop about it went unanswered and found the staff notably less welcoming than before.

“Stopped here while travelling through for work. Some of the best chips and cheese rissole I have ever tried!”
- Jodie Chardie
“I have been using this chip shop since moving into the area for the last 3 years, my original review was outstanding food, the last twice the chips have been under cooked,the fish tasted of water and a sour taste and the batter each mouthful was a mouthful of soggy batter/fat, out of the 3 meals we had 2 of us was very sick for a few days, only 2 had fish so i can presume it was from that. Yes we did call and report to the shop but was ignored after 2 calls follow up. I felt awkward going in, no hello or pleasant response as i normally received, the business has taken a turn, not welcoming, bad food and one i will never return too, I do hope the owner ( lovely lady ) reads this and addresses, such a shame for once Was the best chips in miles ...”

“It's worth travelling the extra miles to get to this Fish & Chip shop. The fish is outstanding and the chips are not bitty and cooked to perfection.Plus you get wonderful service with a smile. Highly recommended.”
