  • We continue to look for the best Fish & Chips in Porthcawl.
    This time it’s the turn of Mansel’s Chippy on the Eastern Promenade and we eat them on the sunny but ‘windy’ Coney Beach.
    Apologies for the wind noise in this video but hopefully you can hear us. It was windier than we thought.
    So, it’s the turn of Mansel’s Chippy which is only a few yards from the entrance to the fairground and opposite Salt Lake Car Park. As with all the other Porthcawl chip shop visits we are ordering the same thing Fish (cod) & Chips and a curry sauce (Irish Curry).
    The fish was cooked to order and they did offer lemon and tartar sauce. While we were waiting they also offered us a free ‘tea or coffee’.
    Mansel’s Chippy does have offers on certain days of the week and we mention one of them in the video. I would check their Facebook page to see what there is when you visit
    Remember, these are our personal opinions and we pay for all food ourselves. We are not associated with any of the chip shops.
    You can see all our Porthcawl chip shop reviews as we do them in this playlist: • The Best Fish & Chips?

    Well done again both, happy that the weather was better at last.
    We usually go to Mansel's and find them really good and consistent also just a quick walk to Griffin park with lots of seats in the sun.
    I am sure that even though it is still February, if there was no lockdown you would have had more company on the beach on a sunny day.
    A good offer from Mansel's on the meal for two. I suspect I can travel the few miles for a takeaway as long as I don't linger? or at least let's hope the travel restrictions are over before the offer :-)
    Keep safe both.
    Looking forward to the next one.

    Very nice video, now I definitely want to eat some fish and chips :) it reminds me of the time when I went to England on a bus trip with school, and had fish n chips on the beach in Brighton :) good times. Hope I will find some fish & chips here in Benidorm as well!
    Great channel, new viewers here, and also a small channel :)

    I'm from Porthcawl, we went there back in December when I was home in UK from Saudi. My daughter got dive-bombed by the Seagulls after her chips... which was entertaining. Mansel's is a great chippy but to be fair there aren't any bad ones in the Town but that's just my opinion. Love your videos guys, keep shooting

    Spent a lot of time over the years metal detecting Coney, lots of ring pulls, bottle tops etc, no chips though. If you like curry sauce as do I, get yourself to B&Ms they do mayflower chinese curry sauce in powder form for a pound.
