About Tides of Rhyll

Right across the water in Rhyll, this breezy coastal fixture turns out proper seaside fish and chips wrapped in crisp, golden batter without the oil slick. Island regulars bypass standard takeaway counters for hefty fillets of fresh flake, handmade potato cakes, and hot bags of chips dusted with chicken salt. The kitchen goes well beyond the fryer—think charred king prawn skewers, tender grilled blue grenadier, and tender octopus tentacles that sell out quickly. Grab an outdoor table in the sun with a glass of wine, unwrap a combo pack, and watch the tide drift past the bay.

  • Classic Fryer Staples: Crisp, non-greasy fried flake pairs with thick house-cut potato cakes and generous bags of seasoned chips.
  • Beyond-the-Basics Seafood: Daily boards run past ordinary takeaway with charred king prawn skewers, squid tentacles, and grilled local fish.
  • Bayfront Setting: Outdoor tables sit right opposite the beach, complemented by nautical memorabilia and welcoming service.
