Quick info
About Crown Chippy
On Main Street in Ayr, Crown Chippy is a fish and chips takeaway run as a walk-in counter shop, with ladies at the front serving freshly cooked orders to the people of the town. The kitchen focuses on the classic chippy staples, from regular and large fish suppers to crumbed bread as a side or add-on, and juice is available for younger customers. The setup is old-school in approach, with orders placed at the counter and the food fried fresh to order rather than held under lamps. The shop takes walk-ins throughout the day and serves the surrounding neighbourhood for collection.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the fish supper, praised as freshly cooked to order with a light, crispy batter and very fresh fish. Close behind are the proper chips and generous portions, which several call good value and a fair price. Individual diners also single out the black pudding as beautiful and a fish ordered with crumbed bread as really nice. The women serving come up repeatedly as lovely, friendly and funny, and one reviewer mentions a really nice owner. Visitors staying in the area and one diner who drives from Newton Mearns say they made the trip specifically for it, and one calls it a top old school chippy. No complaints appear in the reviews. One family notes their daughters were given juice as a treat.
