IT’S National Fish & Chip Day today (Friday, September 4) and customers using Barry eateries have given their Tripadvisor reviews.

National Fish and Chip Day (NF&CD) first took place in 2015 with the aim of giving fish and chips the recognition it deserves and helping to secure its position as the nation’s favourite dish.

The event takes place on the first Friday in June every year, but this year it takes place later than planned due to the covid-19 pandemic.

But in Barry, as championed on Tripadvisor, customers haven’t cut the mustard with their opinions.
