    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!

    Great place that should deserve a lot more attention…read more A little difficult to find, and definitely need a second pair of eyes... The outside of this place was an industrial-looking building that nobody would have thought it's a fish n chips place. Parking was TIGHT! So be warned!! The moment you walked in, it gave out an old harbor diner feel (not sure if that's how you describe it)... Tile flooring, straight 90-degree wooden booths. They have both takeout and dine-in service, so we decided to enjoy the moment and sat in for our fishy. Most of the items have both regular size or what they called a "supper" size, which just means more on the chips... or fries for us North Americans. We ordered the classic Fresh Battered Fish and a Pastie (huh?) As you wait for the goodies, you could hear the sound of fish or chips being fried, that's really music to my ears! The fish was LONG! Fried to perfection with minimal batter, just the way it's supposed to be to showcase the main character- FISH! Despite ordering the regular fish n chips, the portion of the fries was perfect for us... those fries were THICK CUT and the size of my thumb!! And then, our mystery Pastie arrived. My first thought was "a flatten ball of..." FISH PASTE and potato (pure guesses on the potato part, not 100% sure). It was a very interesting fried loveliness for us... it tasted a little like those Asian fish sausages with onions. Overall, CHEAP and WORTH THE DRIVE! Both of these combined were only GBP 8 something (about CAD$13)! If you ordered the exact same thing back home, the fish n chips along already cost more than $13.

    Consistently good sized portions, thankfully never too greasy like some other establishments. A…read moreneighborhood restaurant with locals and visitors, they treat everyone as family. Prices have been kept fair as of the last time I visited in 2025.
