  “I have been a customer of Station Road Chippy for 40 years and have left positive reviews in the past, but after the appalling experience my brother and I had recently, I will never go back. ​My brother is 80 and has Parkinson’s disease, and I am disabled, housebound, and only manage to get out once a week at most. My brother brought me out for a fish supper for his birthday. Because of my mobility issues, I couldn't get into the shop without my wheelchair, so my brother went in to order. He ordered a pastie for himself—asking for something soft as he has difficulty eating—and a fish supper for me. The bill came to £18. ​When the food arrived at the car, it was completely inedible. The pastie was awful and inexplicably contained a single chip inside. My fish supper was just as bad: the chips were rock-hard like bullets, the fish was burnt to a crisp at both ends, and the batter had fallen apart with hardly any fish inside. ​My brother took the food straight back inside to return it, but the woman working at the counter refused to replace it or give a refund. When he came back out empty-handed, I asked him to go back in and request that she come out to speak to me at the car, as I couldn't walk inside. ​When the staff member (a woman in her 50s/60s with dark curly hair) came out to the car, there was zero empathy or basic customer care. Instead of listening, she was dismissive and cheeky. She made excuses, claiming my brother "just didn't like the batter," completely ignoring that the food was burnt and rock-hard. When I explained that it was my brother's 80th birthday and that we are both disabled, it didn't phase her at all. ​She then offered half the money back, which made no sense given that neither of us could eat the food and the entire order had been returned. When I asked her to bring the food back out so I could show her the state of it, she made a sarcastic comment asking if I didn't believe her. When I opened the box to point out the burnt fish and hard chips, she simply said she had "no time for this," complained that she was getting wet in the rain, and walked away while I was mid-sentence. ​We ended up throwing the entire £18 meal into the bin. ​What should have been a nice birthday outing turned into a stressful, upsetting experience. To treat two elderly, disabled customers with such hostility and disrespect—especially people who have supported this business for four decades—is beyond disgraceful. I have photos of the terrible condition of the food, and I will be taking my business elsewhere from now on.”

  “Drove half an hour to larne to get the famous Christmas chip we seen on TikTok, obviously a really fab chippy the amount of people standing waiting on their food could hardly get in the door only to be told, it’s a 40 minute wait and no Christmas chips! Absolutely gutted. Tried ringing, phone off hook, nothing on their social media to say Xmas chip sold out. GUTTED! 😭”

  “Heard so much about the Christmas chip so decided to give it a go. So disappointing. Ordered 3 Christmas chips, opened them up and 1 had no cocktail sausages. Hardly any turkey to be seen on any of them. Very small portions and very minimal (tasteless) gravy - we had to add our own. Not worth the hype at all unfortunately.”

  “First stop when we arrived in northern Ireland, ordered 2 small fish and chips and if thats a small potion I would love a large. The fish was beautiful and the chips were perfect. The place was very clean and the staff were friendly and welcoming would highly recommend”

  “Well, to anyone who lives in Larne, this is the chippy of all chippies! There is nothing bad here so roll a dice, spin a bottle, flick a coin and pick at random you will always hit a winner. Jackpot every time! I need to add that they have start selling a ‘fruity’ curry sauce. I won’t swear but I want to! Fragglerock me! It’s soo good! I have had a chip with a side of this sauce 4 times in 7 days. The days I haven’t had it I crave it. Every night I dream about it. It’s not healthy, who goes to a chippy for healthy! Rock on and eat it all!”

  “One among the best chippys we've been to!!! Delicious fish, cooked to perfection in the tastiest batter. Chips are in a league of their own. Not too chunky, not too skinny, not too crunchy and not undercooked - perfectly done! We couldn't get enough of their curry sauce!! Just divine. The food was so good we drove out of our way during our road trip holiday for a second visit. All of this quality food at a very reasonable price. Friendly staff, very clean, free on-street car park and off-street parking lot round the corner - what more could you ask for?”

  “A great place the issue is they keep you standing at the locked door and only let you in exactly at the opening time l have seen people arrive try the locked door become upset and Leave to go to an other lunch option thats open! With fast food available in Larne at many venues they are tempting there established loyal clientele. Stop doing it remember it rains and blows outside!”

  “Paid £5.20 for Battered Sausage Supper. Honestly I was told. "Try The Station, grubs great and you get plenty" Well live and learn... I seem to have gotten a portion a child would eat. See the pic. Value for money??? I think not. If I had the time... I've had taken it back. And they weren't under pressure.”
