About Johnnies

On Chapel St in Swansea, Johnnies is a fish and chips takeaway with 23 items on the menu, including plaice and haddock. Payment is cash only, and orders are placed and served at the counter on a walk-in basis. The range extends beyond fish to battered sausage, fishcake, and cheese and leek rissole. Chip portions run large, with a single box reported as enough to share between two to four people. It opens Monday to Saturday and stays closed on Sundays, with a queue common on Friday evenings and around peak early-evening hours. Dogs are welcome inside. Plaice can run out when demand is high, leaving cod and haddock as the fish on offer for the rest of the day.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return most for the chips, praised as lovely and fresh, with portions so generous that one box or two large servings covers two to four people. Fish gets close behind, with haddock, a cod bite and a crisp batter singled out, while a small sausage, a fishcake and a cheese and leek rissole are described as tasty. Reviewers repeatedly call the counter staff friendly, helpful and approachable, and a few mention the owner checking quality. The main caveat is the wait, with several noting a queue or a long delay on busy evenings, though some say the food justified it. One diner found the fish bland and under seasoned, with soggy batter and a greasy vegetable oil taste. Another received a takeaway missing a battered sausage and chicken nuggets, though they were unsure the nuggets were ever ordered. One reviewer notes that plaice was unavailable because of low demand, and another mentions the shop is cash only.

    “The food was good but the service not so much. We took a takeaway without checking the order and we didn't get our battered sausage or the chicken nuggets. Looking at what we paid it's possible the chicken nuggets were never included in the order though.”
  • Matt Gorham
    “Just great fish and chips. Bit of a queue on a Friday night but that’s a good sign to me! As ever we over ordered chips and two large did more than enough for four of us. Lovely crispy batter.”
  • Hywel Thomas
    “What a fantastic chippy this is in the Mumbles. Great selection of food on the menu and the portions are a great size. The young ladies working behind the counter aren't a great bunch, hard working and friendly. It can get busy, so be prepared to wait a while whilst they cook your food 👍”
