Customer Review Summary
Haddock fish and chips draws the most praise, described as crispy outside, flaky and tender inside, with chips called fresh and golden. Lite bites with mushy peas also get singled out. Staff are called friendly and welcoming. One reviewer calls prices extortionate for a single fish and few chips, while another found the fish thin and sausage rubbery, though still quick and reasonably priced.

“Absolutely extortionate prices for a fastfood chippy. Suppers came with a single fish and a handful of chips. In 37 years of living in Scotland, I’ve never paid as much for mediocre food. Tourists, be aware. This is not your normal Scottish …”

“I just ordered haddock fish and chips for takeaway, and I have to say—it was one of the best I’ve ever had. The fish was perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, flaky and tender on the inside, and full of flavor. The chips were just as impressive—fresh, golden, and cooked to perfection. The staff were kind and friendly, making me feel genuinely welcome. It’s always great to see people who clearly care about both their food and their customers. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!”

“It was fine - fish was a bit thin and sausage was slightly rubbery. But a good price and quick food so I wasn't too disappointed. If you're eating in, there's unlimited salt and vinegar which does feel like a treat.”

“If you haven’t experienced the culinary carnival that is Smiffy’s Chip Shop, you’re seriously missing out. I walked in expecting the usual chippy fare and left feeling like I’d just dined at the five-star establishment of fried delights. The fish was so fresh, I half-expected it to do a little tap dance on my plate. The chips? Golden, crispy masterpieces—each one a starchy sonnet to the humble potato. The service? Imagine being greeted by long-lost friends who just so happen to be chip connoisseurs. The staff were so friendly I almost invited them to my nan’s birthday party. They’ve mastered the art of banter while expertly slinging out plates of perfection. Highly recommend? Absolutely. Smiffy’s isn’t just a chip shop; it’s an emotional journey wrapped in newspaper and sprinkled with salt and vinegar. 10/10 would return, even if I had to swim there.”
