Went to buy Fish and Chips in Dick Bartons last night and large cod was £11.50. 3 with chips would have been 45 quid. It got me wondering what the best Chippy in the Swansea area was, are they better value and how do I keep them warm when I'm travelling back? |  |

Hiks is supposed to be very good. Carry them home in an insulated shopping bag that you would bring frozen food home in. |  | | |

Put them in the passenger footwell and stick the heater on for the drive home...
£11.50 though....That's London & SE prices
I used to love coming home because everything was so much cheaper - beer, eating out, shopping etc... but not anymore. I noticed it after Covid - everything had shot up in price. |  |

yep, though checked online and Hiks is 9.75 for large cod and is supposed to be really good. one of my mates said Codbox is good as well. I travel through Swansea on way home so any good chippy is worth a look at. You can have a massive Chinese meal for the same cash. | |

Back on the sixties , it was a meet place for us posers who had cars
It was dear then probable two bob for a fish dipped on axle grease
They served them in a plastic box with a wooden fork , which was rather pretentious but it kept one’s fingers free of grease which was essential if you were a fussy tw@t like me who was car mad
We had a break in Hexham last year and went to a Classic Car meet
There was a Hillman Minx series 3 there , immaculate in BRG
And yes , I had a quiet blub
Bluddy Swansea and it’s memories never leave you |  |

Colwen Ave Winch Wen , £7.50 for a huge portion of chips and a more thana decent sized piece of cod and mushy peas., can't j help with the wrapping other than to say living close enough the traditional wrapping paper is more than good enough to ensure its still hot when putting on the plate. | |

Anyone tried Smirkin’ Cod? Always fancy it on the way back from games.
I agree Hiks is very good.

Not had a take away but sat in a couple of times and thought it was very good. | | | |

Anyone passing Hirwaun, call in at Penalunas. Best fish and chips in Wales.
Reasonable, and the fish cooked to order in about 8 minutes. Well worth the wait. |  |

I do have fond memories of summer afternoons eating on the lawn outside Dick Bartons with so many other families. The queue of traffic coming back from Caswell and Langland was immense. | |

Guy who owns Dick Bartons is a cracking fella, did work for him yr 18months ago, not had chippy food for well over a yr though so I don't know what his F&C 's is like. | |

Ron Evans Pies in Taibach for the real rissole and pies from back in the day taste wise .
Over the counter service and the front of house staff , really good pricing too .
I normally go to my local chippy if in a rush , £3.80 for a large bag of chips , trade costs .
That portion of chips will last over two days , micro necessary on the follow up meal .
To eat that lot freshly cooked with the advice I had an eight minute wait for the chips .
Really not a problem for the quality I recieved , piping hot and really done the lob . | | | |

Don’t get me wrong. Nothing wrong with Dick Bartons chips at all. It’s also a kind of Swansea institution, which I like.
I just prefer Copperfish. It’s more of a gourmet chip shop than a traditional one. More of a treat than a regular. | | | |

I used to go to Sweetmans for a pastie then Covelli's for the chips. I lived so close to Johnnies that they kept me alive for a good while.
Hardly eat chips these days so it is good to know what is great out there and with my current job I am in the position to swing by them on the way home.
I regularly forget about the Copperfish so thanks for the reminder.
I went to Penaluna's in Hirwaun a few years ago and indeed it was good. | |

Agree with both. Rissole & chips 9 pence (old money) in Johnny's. I bet there's not many on here that remember old money. | | | |
