Quick info
About The Grove Fish & Chip Shop Ltd
On N Esk Rd in Montrose, The Grove Fish & Chip Shop Ltd has operated as a family business since 1959. The fryer range covers fish suppers, fish cakes and scampi suppers as regular orders, with breaded fish offered rather than battered fish. Chicken and burgers sit alongside the fish options for those wanting something different, and a battered smoked sausage is available as a side. Tartare sauce comes served in a tub with suppers. Multiple fryers run at once, and staff let customers know if a wait is expected when they're busy. The shop is a walk-in operation with no reservations, and it can get full at peak times, with orders collected at the counter.

Customer Review Summary
The fish supper is what reviewers return to most, with one calling it the best they had tasted in a long while and another praising a generous fish portion. Close behind are the chips, described as lovely and decent, and the smoked sausage, which a lorry driver passing through called ace. Diners also name the fishcake, scampi, mock chop supper and a tub of tartare sauce that lasted two suppers, and one notes chicken and burgers on the menu beyond fish. Friendly staff and a chatty owner come up repeatedly, along with reasonable prices and large portions, and a family of four says the kids loved it. One reviewer found the fish supper explained as delayed because all fryers were busy, but felt the short wait was handled kindly. Criticism is limited but specific: one reviewer thought there was too much salt, another noted only breaded fish is available, not battered, and one reports suspecting the fish supper and a King Rib were reheated rather than freshly made, after a request for fish without breadcrumbs went wrong at the start of the order.

“Chippy was full but staff so nice, no stress just explained all fryers busy. Not long to wait and well worth it. The fish supper was best I've tasted in a long while, well worth what I paid for it, but not expensive considering the size and taste. Will go back and recommend it highly. And staff/owners second to none.”

“The Fish and Chips where not good enough. Asked for special fish no bread crumbs poor start. Ordered Fish super but have my suspicions that it was reheated but definitely not freshly made. Also ordered King Rib this was definitely reheated as I seen then take it fully battered and cooked to reheat. Not impressed won't be back. Avoid at all costs. Very Disappointed”
