The Friary Fish Bar

Chips good, fish good, batter soggy — not cooked to order. If you want crisp batter you are better elsewhere.
Fast service — everything is precooked and ready to go, so if you want fast and you don’t mind soggy batter, you’ll be fine.

This is, in my opinion, one of the best fish and chip shops in Cardiff. They certainly have the crispy chips and tender fish that we all crave and imagine before we’re disappointed by the meagre semblances we unwrap from most other fish bars.
If you live in the Fairwater area, you probably already know about this shop; either you’re a regular yourself, or you’re one of those local who thinks bitter thoughts about the patrons who queue outside blocking the pavement. If you don’t live in the area, then I would wholeheartedly suggest a detour on your way home next Friday evening.
This shop can get busy around dinner time (surprise surprise), but there is a fair amount of parking around and the service is always surprisingly prompt. Enjoy.
