About Golden Chip Linlithgow
On High Street in Linlithgow, Golden Chip is a fish and chips restaurant serving both walk-in orders and seated meals with table service. The special haddock supper stands out on the menu, made with crumbed haddock and two pieces of fish. The haggis supper and a standard fish supper are also common orders, with the fish and chip meals served as a full "supper." Walk-ins are welcome, with no reservation needed, and staff bring orders to the table for those eating in. Parking near the shop can be hard to find, so many customers arrive on foot or allow extra time to find a space nearby.

Customer Review Summary
The haddock supper draws the most consistent praise, described by reviewers as beautifully crumbed with quality fish that holds its crunch, and a haggis supper is singled out as another favorite, called perfect by one visitor. Several note fast service and a clean, large shop, though staff mood comes up repeatedly, with reviewers describing them as seeming angry or checked out. Complaints recur around inconsistent frying: chips described as dry or reheated-tasting, batter that's grey or undercooked, and fish soaked through with excess oil. One reviewer reports finding a hair and a piece of paper in their order, a serious lapse they still say wouldn't stop them returning. Others call portions small for the price and say the shop isn't what it used to be. Parking near the High St location is noted as hard to find. Despite the mixed frying results, the standout haddock and haggis suppers keep several reviewers coming back.

“Absolute rip off. Used to be known as a great chip shop. Chips an fish very soggy, no crunch. Tiny portions and very disappointing. Try to avoid.”

“Coming here to write this because I got a battered chicken supper last night an I was so mad I just couldn't bring myself to ringing up and complaining because It's not the first time this happened either. It doesn't happen a lot but last night's one was horrendous. You could see the batter was severely undercooked from the outside it wasn't Brown enough. It was just golden brown but you could see it needed a little bit more time I could see the and I'm not even a chef. Long story. Cut short though. When I bit into it and started ripping into it, there was a big chunk of uncooked batter the size of a chicken nugget an there was also a hair in the chicken and the chips were also undercooked an They were hard like inside hard and also there was a piece of brown paper on one of the chips. Didn't see it at first but I felt it on my tooth and then I pulled it out and I was like where has that come from because i don't think they have brown paper in that chip shop sorry no photos to share cause just ended up giving it to my dog hasn't put me off the place like as I will definitely order from here again still just had to get that off of my chest an thats the only reason I've given a one star review this time”

“Absolute let down to be honest, waste of 23.50 for a supper for myself and my sons small meal, fish was Absolutely caked and ringing wet with oil soaked right through to the bloody fish itself. Everything was drenched in oil the batter was that soaked with excess oil it literally slid off the fish. Not impressed at all”
