    Hear ye, hear ye! This be the place to go for fish & chips in Arran! No place better. But then…read moreagain, it's also the only place, so thank goodness for it! Never have we visited Arran without a stop at this essential chippy. LOCATION: Fantastically located just across the road from the Brodick Ferry Terminal. Great positioning to enable a quick fix immediately upon arrival on the island, or as a last spot before leaving the island. FOOD: Full menu includes all the delicious items you would expect from a Scottish chippy. Over the years, the fish has gotten noticeably thinner and batter quantity has grown. This is not ideal, so hopefully the trend won't continue shifting. However, as mentioned earlier, it is the only chippy on the island. Separately, the battered haggis and black pudding is simply fantastic - not a bad word to say about it! Meat is sourced from the local butcher. SERVICE: Hours vary throughout the week & might change over time. Most recently, they have been closed on Tuesdays and usually shut by 8pm on days when they are open. Further, it's possible they may close a few minutes early if business is slow, so plan your visit with plenty of time before scheduled closing, else you might be unlucky. Unfortunately, after a long afternoon hiking Goatfell last summer, we arrived just a few minutes before closing with great anticipation, but found the keeper locking up and riding off on his bike (& not interested in how far we had traveled just for a taste of his fish & chips!). Disappointing day, for sure. The next day, we ran in to grab an order before our ferry ride, with another family arriving just after us. Our order took 30-minutes to prepare given the influx of business, so we ended up needing to push them to prioritize our order before nearly missing our ferry! Ultimately, this spot is a "must visit" during an Arran trip, and we have certainly had many exiting experiences here.

    The best fish n chips on the island! My family has been coming here for years and this is the only…read moreplace they recommend for fish n chips. Was not disappointed!

    Been here several times for food after a day of trekking around Portrush…read more The one thing you are always guaranteed here is slow service. The biggest issue here is most of the food is made to order rather than having a steady supply of food ready. More often than not they are queued right out the door, again this is due to the person taking the orders disappearing after every order to do some seemingly imaginary task out the back, before returning to take the next order. They offer telephone orders so this also contributes to the extraordinary waiting time. Wanna beat the queue, ring your order through. The food here is just ok. I ordered the goujon special and when I got it home the chicken goujon a where actually closer to nuggets. Given the fact they were so small, I ate my right hand that night. Also the gravy is watery. I would suggest the cod goujons for a hearty feed. Overall the Dolphin is decent and the staff are polite and courteous, they called me "Sir". This pleased me, so I bumped them to 3 stars.

    I feel obliged to say from the off that I may have been a bit the worse for wear when I visited the…read moreDolphin, but not so bad that I cannot remember a very fine portion of fish and chips slathered in salt, vinegar and tomato ketchup. Surely the only civilised way to have it, no? The cod was firm and white and the batter suitably thick with a dash of grease. Perfect. The chips were not just so good and I fear they may have seen the deep fat fryer more that once, but hey, there are worse things in life to worry about. And I'm pleased to report that the two cost me a purse friendly £4. High fives to that. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I have cod and chips again? Darn right. But with a side of onion rings next time. Seriously though, the Dolphin does just what you expect it to - serve up lots of portions of fish and chips and pasties and sausages and onion rings. It's not sophisticated and I wouldn't recommend making eye contact with other customers late at night, but it hits the spot.
