Trenchers

Proper fish and chips done right, where locals queue for crispy batter and fresh catch overlooking the harbour.

You're walking down New Quay Road towards the water when you spot the queue snaking out the door—that's Trenchers. It's the kind of place that doesn't need to shout about itself because word of mouth does all the work. The batter's consistently golden, the fish actually tastes like fish (revolutionary, we know), and they're not afraid to switch up what they're using depending on what's been landed that day. It's family-friendly chaos in the best way: kids, couples, groups of mates all crammed in together, sharing tables, getting properly stuck into their suppers. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious—just brilliant seaside eating done with proper care.
