EAT.

Takeaway fish and chips is a staple of seaside holidays. Piping-hot chunky fries with freshly battered cod, eaten with a tiny wooden fork overlooking ebbing waves… It’s a simple but sensational moment, that’s for sure.

When the coastline is as extraordinary as it is in Pembrokeshire, you don’t always want to hide away in a restaurant. Sometimes all you want is reliable fish and chips on the beach.

Ask any local to name a local chip shop and soon someone will mention Feccis. Synonymous with fish and chips in the area, this Tenby eatery is a household name and rightly so. Call into their place on Lower Frog Street to eat in or pick up a takeout; you won’t be disappointed. An alternative in Tenby is Park Road Chippy; both boast generous portions so make sure you’re hungry.

Hooked @ 31 is an award-winning choice in Fishguard, having been named one of the UK’s top ten recently. Pick up your mains and desserts here; they sell homemade ice cream too. We like to pick up a scoop whilst we wait for those chips to fry!

Winner of the “Best Use of Pembrokeshire Produce” award is Something’s Cooking in Letterston. Choose to dine in or eat out here; either way, this is heralded as one of the best in the region. Coeliacs will be delighted as they offer weekly GlutenFree nights.

Off The Hook bistro is one of the newest chippies around and is certainly one to try. This Broad Haven-based eatery offers all the popular dishes as well as regular themed offerings such as a Spice Box and a Roast Dinner special.

Steps from Pembroke Castle is Rowlies where you can eat in or take away; a real favourite in the south. Choose from Moby Dicks or Coronation Chippy in Haverfordwest, Peter’s Plaice is where to go in St Davids and it’s all about The Shed in Porthgain.

You’ll find Mor Ffein where Bowen’s used to be in St Dogmaels, Argosy in Saundersfoot by the harbour and The Contented Sole in Narberth. Marble Hall is the one to beat in Milford as is Teifi Chips in Newcastle Emlyn.
