Evans Plaice - Powys

We had 2 x cod, scampi and chips. All cooked fresh to order and very good. Batter not greasy. One large chips was enough for us (we bought too much as had a small as well). £22.

Disappointing fish and chips, it really could and should be so much better. Chips mediocre old flavourless potatoes. To make matters worse they water down the vinegar. I visited with a family of five and we all agreed 6 out of 10 minus a point for the watery vinegar!!

Ordered for 4 people, large Battered Sausage Chips, 2 portions of 8 Chicken Nuggets and Chips and a regular Cod Chips and a Curry sauce which is delicious I’d heard Evan’s Plaice was good but all good was polished off.

Because I travel with business North to S Wales I have been using this establishment for many years, if they timing works out in the evenings. I know it has changed hands a few years ago but I have to say, since then it’s definitely gone down hill. It used to be a proper “chippy” with exceptional food, good warm service and a decent place to sit in and enjoy the food from the car. Unfortunately now, the customer service is short and sharp especially from behind the till. There are no more proper knives and forks, or even salt and vinegar on the tables. And worst still u can’t even get a proper pit of tea with ur food anymore. The sit in area is absolutely freezing every time I’ve been (might as well be sat on the pavement outside) and it’s sad to see such a great outlet go down hill. To top this all off, the food whilst it’s nice and clean, it’s bland and really tasteless, seems to be no passion to donut right anymore as there used to be. So disappointing I have to say because it’s in such a good location. A good business that needs to take note of the comments given.

We had a brilliant weekend in Elan Valley. Only exception was our food choice on the Saturday evening. We read the good reviews for Evans Plaice so decided to try the pizzas. They were reasonably expensive so we had high expectations. The quality was poor though. Cheese was way too tangy, there was far too much bread and the sauce for the base was not good. Such a shame we didn’t go for the fish and chips as everyone seemed to be enjoying those!
