What Bethany Rose likes about Fairbourne Chippy:
Big portions,freshly cooked and served hot and tasty .The best chippy in Gwynedd. The fish was delicious and the batter spot on. Best to phone your order in first to save waiting. View all feedback. What RhinoKellie doesn't like about Fairbourne Chippy:

The cheeseburger and chicken burger just came as they are, no salad, no sauce offered. Very basic. The curry sauce and battered sausage was tasty thou... View all feedback.

The chips were OK but the fish was terrible really oily and the batter was thick and uncooked. I would not recommend other than for chips if desperate

Fairbourne Chippy, a charming seaside eatery, serves a classic fish and chips experience. While many visitors praise its freshly cooked meals and friendly service, recent feedback reveals some inconsistencies. Diners have reported undercooked fish, soggy batter, and plain chips lacking seasoning, leaving them disappointed despite previous visits. However, the curry sauce and mushy peas often receive accolades. Patrons appreciate the restaurant's traditional values, with hot, wrapped meals enjoyed against a picturesque coastal backdrop. Overall, while hits and misses exist, Fairbourne Chippy continues to attract those in search of a nostalgic seaside meal.
