Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The fish at The Chip Box 4 earns praise for its freshness and light, crispy batter, often described as sublime by satisfied diners. Many customers recommend the mini cod and chips, an excellent choice for those preferring a lighter meal. The chips, perfectly crispy and plentiful, complement the fish and often catch rave reviews, especially when drizzled with vinegar or topped with cheesy goodness. The service also garners positive feedback, with staff known for their friendly demeanor even during peak busy hours. Plus, being a local favorite, the bustling atmosphere adds to the experience, making it hard not to feel the community vibe.
Most Disliked
While most reviews commend The Chip Box 4, some highlight occasional waiting times during peak hours, especially on Saturday evenings. The bustling crowd can lead to a longer wait, which might deter some diners. A few complaints mention inconsistent cooking, with some diners receiving overcooked fish or chips during particularly busy periods. The straightforward interior may also come off as too basic for those expecting a fancier dining experience. Lastly, limited menu variety—though typical of a fish and chips shop—has been noted, mainly for those seeking gourmet options.

Was attracted by the crowd waiting outside this quiet corner shop and decided to join the queue. So glad that I did. The menu is simple but everything I tried were nice. The fish, chips, mushy peas... If you ever visit Aberystwyth, try this fish and chips place. I heard it's one of the oldest shop here.

A real authentic chippy on the seafront! The option to get mini cod and chips was very welcome as I rarely manage a full fish and chips. It's not flashy inside, but it's a classic chippy with friendly and fairly quick service. Once you've got your food, you only have to cross the road and you're by the sea :)

Great place to have fish and chips in Aberystwyth. We were looking somewhere to get fish and chips to takeaway because we had our dog with us. We ordered cod and chips, which was £9 a portion. It was freshly cooked in front of us, and it was delicious.

Mini fish & chips - the fish was fresh, well battered & not overly greasy. The chips were fantastic - crispy, tasty & more than enough for a small portion. I'm definitely but from here again next time I'm in the area 😋

Absolutely sublime fish and chips. The shop is extremely unassuming on the corner opposite the pier entrance. Not at all flashy, looks a bit run down and dingy. We were queuing behind a few others tourists. Although we were the only ones to be served at the time, they didn't just dish out the food pre-cooked, they actually took the time to fry our portion. The chips were amazingly perfect and fish was outside. The batter was light and crispy and fish tasted really fresh. Some of the best I've had. Please keep up the excellent quality and don't start serving bad food.

My best fish and chips ever. This is a takeaway chippy with some seating outside across the road from the beachfront.
