There is also a chip shop and a bit to sit in. Unfortunately, I have never sampled either of those so this review is all about ice cream. I'm sure I should dazzle you with some facts about how long they have been established and all the awards they have won. But I can't. See when I go to Equi's all I'm thinking about is which flavour is going in ma belly. With two cabinets to chose from it takes me quite a while picking which of the 20 odd flavours to eat. It's why I take smudge, people are far more forgiving of indecision from a small person. But it's rather unfair seeing as she decides in nano-seconds and never suffers from selectors-doubt. This visit I chose a chocolate dipped cone of cherry vanilla ice-cream, g got a chocolate dipped cone of mango ice-cream and smudge a tub of chocolate ice-cream. It was a very quiet journey home with with everybody concentrating far too hard on their ice creams to risk melt related wastage on conversation. Equi's ice cream is creamy, soft and the flavours are always perfect. Punchy, strong and guaranteeing that I'll be back soon.

Equi's has been there for as long as I can remember, and has both an ice cream parlour section to the store, and a wee cafe/restaurant section which has a basic chip shop/traditional cafe type menu!

In short, this place is okay, passable, I've had bones in my fish before but you won't hate the food, it's ok, but it's no Divitos, they really need to step up their game, especially with their local competition

I was sick once in here from a greasy fish and chips (a one off, to be fair) which wasn't dealt with very well by the management which ended my weekly visit to the place, a weekly visit which lasted some years. In recent years, the prices have also escalated way beyond that of other chip shops. It's around £5.30 for a fish supper, and although it is absolutely immense, the portions don't justify the price. Hilarious to note, that when you get chips to take away (which cost around £1.40 or £1.50 or something ridiculous) they actually spray on the vinegar which can only be designed to save pennies on vinegar every day. I don't know. I like the place, it's great, with good ice cream as well I should note, but I can't help but feel that the management are greedy. There used to be 3 or 4 Onesti's in Motherwell, now there are only 2, with this one being the most popular due largely to its location. Thoroughly great food, no arguments, but.. *sigh* I've said enough. They also do home deliveries which get to you in above average condition.

Went recently after I got booted out of a Poker tournament at a nearby pub to cheer myself up and.. well.. it worked. The fish and chips is stellar, amongst the nicest you will taste anywhere in Scotland. Freshly prepared, piping hot and crumbling to pieces in a light cripsy batter. It got a facelift recently and has made the seating area inside even nicer. I'd rather come here than Harry Ramsdens any day of the week. They also do takeaway and phone orders.

We went for lunch about 1.30ish on Friday afternoon. It was really busy but luckily there was a table free. The lunch menu is £14.50 for 2 courses and I thought it was really good value. The food was sublime (not what you would expect in Uddingston!). I had a Butternut Squash Veloute with a poached egg and some a parmesan twill. Watching all the food programmes going, I had saw this made a few times and always wanted to try it. It was soooo good. Basically it is just a fancy soup but the beautiful poached egg and the veloute were so delicious and creamy. I then had slow braised beef with mash potatoes, glazed vegetables and gravy. There was a huge portion of delicious soft beef. The mash was creamy and yummy. All in all, it was one of the best dishes I have had in a long time. We then shared a Banana sticky toffee pudding as we were too full to have one each. The sponge was lovely and soft and the bananas were caramelised on top. Truth be told, I could have probably ate this myself looking back. Staff were lovely and attentive. I never tried any wine but they had an extensive list. Go here if you want amazing food at a reasonable price.

I ask for white pudding and whatever my girlfriend wants, something *always* happens to confirm that they heard what I asked for (e.g. cashier asks the fryer if it's the same price as black pudding, fryer confirms) then they give me a black pudding supper!!! WTF?! So I say to them, "that looks like black pudding, I asked for white" then they grudgingly start frying the correct one. The above scenario had played out all but one of the times I visited. Two of those times I waited for my girlfriend's food to fry then after being offered black pudding they tell me they've no white! I just don't understand it, bizarre that they seem to think I'd just take black pudding because that's what they'd prefer to serve? They still get two stars because despite the supper lottery, their food is rather good.
