Cymmer Fish Bar

A long-standing favourite in the Cymmer area of Porth, this traditional fish bar has earned a steady reputation for properly cooked chip-shop classics. Diners give it a Google rating of 4.4 out of 5, and one Tripadvisor reviewer summed up the mood with a write-up simply titled an ”outstanding fish shop,” singling out the quality of the frying and the generous helpings.

Expect the full valley chippy line-up — flaky fish in crisp batter, hand-cut chips, sausages, pies and curry sauce — all served hot and ready to carry home. It is an unpretentious, community-minded spot where regulars are greeted by name and newcomers are made to feel just as welcome. For anyone in Cymmer or the wider Porth area craving a comforting, satisfying supper without a trip down the valley, it remains a dependable go-to that keeps the queues moving and the locals coming back.
