Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips anchor the reviews, with one coeliac diner praising the gluten free option served with mushy peas as excellent and filling, and another calling the crust crunchy and portions large. But recent visits describe a decline: onion rings cooked from frozen, a wrong sauce order, fish broken in half with batter containing no fish, and two reports of greasy, old-tasting oil leaving an unpleasant aftertaste.

“I visit Pitlochry recently, and this was the best Fish and chips I ever ate in my life! It was incredibly delicious. The fish is tender, the crust is crunchy, and the fries are also really good. I was also shocked by how large the portions are. The UK is so expensive, but these guys still care about keeping the prices down as well. Loved every bit of it, and will gladly come back.”

“Two weeks ago someone posted that this was the best fish and chips they’d had in the UK. I read that, got excited, and drove to Pitlochry. The fish was broken in half. Several pieces of batter had no fish inside them at all. It was greasy …”

“Our fish suppers had an unusual and unpleasant taste about them as if the oil they were prepared in was either old or bad. The fish was quite greasy, so that didn't help either. It left us with this unpleasant taste in our mouths for some …”

“This place has changed hands. Not for the better. Fish and chips with a portion of oinion rings. Not as crispy as before, onion rings are cooked from frozen. Requested salt and sauce got vinegar with salt and a squirt of brown sauce. Will not be going back.”

“Superb fish and chip shop. Called in this evening as the gluten free option caught our eye the other day. Being a coeliac fish and chip options are limited so really glad these are gluten free aware. My gluten free fish and chips with mushy peas was excellent. Filling and reasonably priced too. My partner's 'normal' fish and chips were equally delicious. Very friendly staff and quick service. The only downside is we're here on holiday so can't enjoy this every week. Will definitely use again when we're back here in the future. Excellent.”
