  “Utterly disgusting. Zero Stars. First bowl of Cullen Skink arrives, bowl of dried diced potatoes, no liquid whatsoever, sent back to kitchen. Replacement bowl arrives after a very long wait, bowl included dried thumbprints, dried splashes of food. Came with buttery from first bowl, again reheated, hard and inedible. Went to ask for Manager, was told no Manager on a Sunday, when asked whom was in charge, was told the two member's of staff on duty take it in turns. Not fair on customers and young unexperienced staff on duty. Waiting on Manager to call me on Monday”

  “We visited on a Friday night and although early it was predominantly filled with elderly couples and similar aged groups. It seems that many are regulars as the staff seemed to be very personable with them with was nice to see. The portion sizes, especially the chips were small and the chips were also a bit too underdone which seems from other reviews to be a consistent complaint. The mushy peas we got lots of although weren’t very hot. All things considered my grandparents would have loved it here but honestly I won’t be rushing back. At around £40 for two fish suppers and two soft drinks it really emphasised how expensive a simple fish supper portion is now. It was all fine, nothing wrong with it but expensive for what it was. Service was excellent throughout though. All staff were very polite and attentive.”

  “This was by far the worst fish and chips I've ever had. I should have known since the restaurant was empty when we arrived on a Friday lunch. And their sign claimed they were famous for their fish and chips. The chips were nearly raw and the fish was soggy and had no seasoning or flavor whatsoever. Will never come here again.”

  “My partner got me chips and tuna mayo to take away. When we got home and I opened it up I noticed the chips looked incredibly pale. I tried three of them and all three were hard and not cooked properly. £6 wasted. Would not recommend.”

  “Cullen skink was just a plate of potatoes. The "soup" just tasted of cream. It used to be much better.”

  “We were at Ashvale takeaway in Aberdeen over the weekend and picked up lunch for myself, my wife and an elderly lady we were visitillng. The fish was incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, juicy, and absolutely delicious. Seeing the smile on her face made it even more worthwhile. We enjoyed it so much that the next day we decided to visit again for a takeaway in the evening for dinner with another friend — and once again it did not disappoint. The quality and flavour were just as fantastic. A big shout-out to the whole team, and a special mention to Kenzie who served us on both occasions. She was quick, hardworking, and provided genuinely lovely service, all with a warm smile. Her friendly attitude really stood out and helped make both visits even better. Thanks, Kenzie — you’re doing a fantastic job for Ashvales 👍✨🌟”

  “Food portions are tiny and chips are always undercooked unless you ask for double cooked. Feels like they reduce the portions if you dare ask for your chips to be served not hard in the centre. £4 for a regular and they give the smallest portion of chips I’ve ever seen.”

  “Aberdeen doesn't have a lot of fish and chip restaurants, which gives the Ashvale a slight advantage but when you're in the mood for a chippy its great to be able to sit in and enjoy it! They have a wide variety of all your chip shop classics, including a teatime flyer: which is a selection of them, including tea and toast or your choice of fruit juices (surely a can of Fanta or Irnbru could be included also?). I would always recommend booking ahead for a table as peak times can get busy. They have also just increased their opening times, which is good if you're not one for eating early. We had used a TasteCard on our visit which gave us some discount as the prices are quite high but you do get what you pay for, large portions served fresh and with some homemade toast... you can't go wrong!”

  “Great fish and chip! Ordered the 2-course lunch sets and love them all, especially for the starters haggis bon bons and smoked chowder. The fish and chip is top notch. The staff are friendly and polite as well. Will definitely come back when visiting Aberdeen.”
