Plassey Fish Bar in Penarth

Plassey Fish Bar in Penarth, 2026/27 Good Food Award winner – Gold Seal.

Plassey Fish Bar on Plassey Street in Penarth is a traditional fish and chip shop that has built a strong local following for its generous portions, freshly cooked favourites and classic takeaway fare. Popular with both residents and visitors, it offers the sort of familiar, satisfying food that makes a proper fish supper such an enduring British favourite. With a straightforward menu and plenty of choice beyond fish and chips, it is a dependable option for a casual lunch or an evening takeaway.

Fish is naturally the main attraction, with battered cod, haddock, plaice, hake and sea bass among the options. The cod and chips is a classic choice, pairing flaky white fish with a crisp golden coating and chunky chips, while fishcakes and cod bites offer alternatives for a lighter bite. For those who prefer something different, battered sausages, chicken and a selection of pies provide plenty of traditional chippy comfort.

The accompaniments are every bit as important, with mushy peas, gravy and several curry sauces available to complement the main event. The Irish curry sauce has earned particular praise from customers, while a chip butty makes a tempting option in its own right, especially with a generous helping of curry sauce or gravy. Box meals combining fish, sausages, chicken or pies with chips offer a hearty choice for those with a bigger appetite. Customer feedback highlights the generous portions, good value and friendly staff, with many diners praising the freshly cooked fish and crisp chips. Plassey Fish Bar continues to attract Penarth diners with its broad menu of traditional favourites.
