Visiting the area with my partner so we had quite a decent spread from across the ‘usual’ menu items.
The chips were tasty, classic chip shop style chips, freshly fried and with lashings of salt a vinegar.
Battered sausage was nicely battered, not thickly coated and nicely crispy. The sausage itself was the standard catering sausage but with the batter it was nicely elevated.
The saveloy was nicely flavourful, exactly as you would expect. It was also freshly prepared so the casing wasn’t tough from being sat under a heat lamp. That may be a good or bad thing for some people, depending how you prefer it.
Bread roles were nice and thick, nicely buttered. They were wrapped in paper not plastic so didn’t pick up any plastic flavour which was refreshing.
The highlight was the large battered cod. Price wise it was excellent value at £7.85. The batter was delicious, light and crispy. Cooked fresh to order, it was a nice piece of fish. One of the best battered cod pieces I’ve had a long time.
I do love a good ol' Fish n Chips. No.12 is a lovely place that cooks some very good food, reasonably priced and lots of items to choose from! Not a lot of atmosphere in the waiting/ordering zone: just a few leaflets, 1 chair and 1 table but that shouldn't be a problem since orders can be done pretty fast!
Very pleased to have this place as my local chippy!
My family and I have gotten fish and chips here on many occasions and it's always been consistently delicious. My primary highlight that I recommend is their battered fish.
Battered Cod Fish
The batter is light and crispy. I really hate it when I get fish and chips and the batter is overpowering and far too thick where it feels like I'm eating more batter than fish. That couldn't be further from the truth here.
Chips
Your standard chip shop chips. Nothing special, but consistently good.
I also regularly get their gravy on the side and it is bog standard gravy.
However, the reason for 5 stars is definitely the fish. I've had fish and chips from all around South Wales and this place is definitely my favourite so far!
