Alandas Fish And Chip Shop in East Lothian

Smallest smoke sausage supper you have ever seen. Not even given half a smoked sausage. Not worth the money. Chips tasted sweet and a lot burnt. Overrated chippy

Never tasted food so bad put large order in the kebab meat frozen and the wood fired pizza was like rubber the batter was hard a a rock phoned them and they said there nothing they can do would never go back would rate the worse chip shop in lothian

Really nice fish but the chips could have been better.

We preordered breaded fish suppers tonight and my husband collected. The breadcrumbs were so thick and hard I couldn’t eat it. The fish wasn’t fresh. The fish at Alandas van at Longniddry bents is delicious although smaller and more expensive. I’ll be avoiding the shop in future. Waste of money.

This was our third trip, location is great But the food was awful, we had to rush home as we got dodgy tummy and threw the food in bin. It was quieter than previous visit we think they had cooked too much food, and re heated as everything was not eatable.

Excellent fish bites, sausage, and chips. Cooked to perfection, only gripe was the boxes was leaking oil from them and wasn't offered a bag.

Terrible undercooked food - fish cut down the middle - 1 half of a fish and undercooked chips - swimming in oil 🤮 £15 at The Fringe and van was at George Street Edinburgh - went in the bin

The Cauliflower wings were very tasty but the breading was still raw in a few places. The fish was good but it was a bit unusual that it was so big and that you had to eat it without cutlery. Unfortunately the fries weren't salted at all but everything was very freshly prepared

Just had a take away from alandas preston pans and it was honestly the worst chippy av ever had. The burgers where burnt to a cinder and chips where soggy like they had been lying for days. Feel sick now. Gave it a try as my usual go to where closed (jazs and the good catch) would avoid this place at all costs

Had haddock, chips and mushy peas. I thought the fish was well cooked and tasty. The chips were very average. The mushy peas were rather watery. I know prices have risen but £13.50 is expensive. I paid £10 for better quality in Scarborough a couple of weeks ago.

Really nice food, the large fish was huge and tasted delicious. The chips were just as nice and you got plenty to share. My son had mozzarella sticks which he gave the thumbs up at. We also saw that they had a huge wood fire pizza oven and was gutted to have not noticed this place sooner. Just a couple nights previously we had the worst and ridiculous priced domino’s ever. Staff really friendly too.

Called in for fish and chips and was presently surprised at the quality of the food considering it was a mobile catering van. The fish was cooked to perfection and chips were perfect colour and texture. The cost £12.50 which was quite expensive and the portion size was a bit disappointing. My only criticism was the menu wasn't as advertised online and was unable to get any mussy peas or curry sauce to compliment the meal. Don't know where the wood fired pizzas were or the other foods advertised on the website/ Facebook page. Overhaul a good experience

Just been to this chip shop tonight. We bought 3 portions of fish and chips. To say it was disgusting was an understatement. We threw the fish away, and the chips look like last nights.

Good food delivered quickly. Unfortunately there was a small mistake with the order. I phoned and it was rectified so quickly. Impressive service

Really good fish and chips and bolognaise pizza ordered from here on Monday 20th of May, Couldn’t fault it. Service was great, we had to wait around 15mins but never ever have a problem waiting when it’s fresh food you are receiving, 10/10 for both dishes!!

Thought I’d give this place a try as I was craving a good fish supper. 90 mins in I called to ask how long it would be, I’m happy to wait a long time for good food. Was told it was with the driver. 30 mins later it still hadn’t arrived so I could only assume the driver had about 10 orders to deliver and I was at the end of his run. Obvious concerns for the food quality if it was with the driver for half an hour, so I called again and was reassured it wouldn’t be long. Anyhow it finally turned up. Box had a hole in the top from being crushed in the car. Box was soggy from the grease and the batter was also soggy and lukewarm due to the time it had been lying. 0/10 would not recommend.

I had a fish supper from the Longniddry Bents van and were so disappointed. £12 for a wee bit of fish in a lot of batter. My serving was half a fish literally cut in half longways. And it wasn’t a big one. There was a large part of the batter that was just that. Batter and quite greasy batter at that. The chips were good but they’re wasn’t many of them either. It’s such a shame but we won’t be back. Alanda’s chippie shop in Prestonpans is however, better. You at least get a decent sized fish. And to charge £12 is daylight robbery.

Lovely piece of haddock, cooked to perfection not greasy at all. Quick turnaround too. Just wish I'd realised the truck is in a different location so we could try something a bit different

Best Pizza in East Lothian. Great staff and always a warm welcome!

Great fish and chip shop, never had a disappointing meal from them. Their pizzas are also really good.

We love this takeaway. We drive from Edinburgh for their stuff. Great menu tradional Italian home cooked food as well as the usual chippy stuff their pizzas are AMAZING. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I always like to try leave a tip for them. But unfortunately on Christmas eve I didn't have change We got the last of what they had left before closing beautiful place. I'll leave double tip next time. As they gave us a free sausage 😋

Great place to eat and location

Absolutely delicious. Ordered Fish & Chips and they honestly live up to their reputation! Fish was fresh and chunky, batter was crisp and light and the chips had a nice crunch to them. I'm salivating just writing this ... away to order another portion ...

Best fish and chips in the area, much enjoyed with a walk on the beach!

The worst fish and chips I've ever had. The fish was swimming in grease. DISGUSTING!

Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long, long time from their Prestonpans branch.

What a rip off! I’ll easily pay £4.50 for a portion of chip at The Fringe, but it needs to be for a half decent portion! The portion I was served would have barely fed a half dead amoebae! Know times are hard, but come on! Times are just as hard for the punter! The only award I’d give is for rip off portion!

Their Prestonpans chippy is the best there is. Bar none. Good portions, gorgeous fish, big and fresh. The chips are good too, very generous with sauce as well. Every time we drive thru Prestonpans I have to get a fish supper there :) The stall by the beach however is way overpriced for much smaller portions, sadly.

£15 for a very averagely-sized, extra greasy, low-on-fish haddock supper at the Fringe. Disappointing. No napkins available, either.

We had mushroom pizza and a calzone, both freshly made and extremely good. It is a nice, clean and up-market take away at reasonable prices. Great! Always order and collect (if you can get through, they do not often answer) do not use the home delivery service (awful cold soggy chips after a tour of East Lothian).

3 years ago was delicious but now a days, it is the worst ever. I Had some fish and chips at Edinburgh fringe festival and was not tasting good and also i started to feel bad stomach and headache. Also another person who ate and was pn my group was feeling the same. It is coming very fat woth a lot of oil. Bueght. Avoiding for next fringe year.

Maybe use proper doner meat, instead of something that resembles sliced up shoe leather?? It was also cold by the time I got home (wallyford!!). Managed to heat it up a bit, but still, come on guys....

Fish and chips good but price extortionate. For £12 we received a fish sliced vertically in half ie a long half piece of fish. I’d hate to know how much they’d charge for a full fish supper. This is nothing but greed as no other chip shop in the area (that I know of) charges those prices or gives you half a fish

Very hit or miss chippie. Sometimes good, sometimes not. My most recent visit was very disappointing.

Used to be good, went for lunch with the family after spending all morning at the beach and was so looking forward to it. There was very little fish in it, more than 50% was just batter. Fries were horrible, scampi was horrible. Overpriced for what we got and such a disappointment. I had this horrible grease feeling in my stomach for the rest of the day. Not going back ever again.

This is for the Bents Longniddry. We visited this place after our family walk and it was good. I think the service is good, its Edinburgh prices but the food we had was good and the location was lovely so I dont begrudge the cost. The bacon butty was dry but the chips were good and we are looking forward to going there again. As I said, its a bit pricey for what you get and given its a bit pricey I might have expected a bit more but we ate it all up and enjoyed it so a well deserved 4 out of 5.

Best fish I've had batter thin and crispy 👌

A nice little spot for fish & chips by the sea. Good system even though it was really busy, the lines went down quickly. Decent food too.

Fantastic, best fish and chips I’ve had this side of the Forth. Super thin and crispy batter on a good slab of haddock, chips cooked beautifully. Highly recommend!

Fish n chips were fab. Fresh, hot and crispy. 👍

Meadows festival, 2023. Sunday 4th June. Im fed up getting bog-standard food. Our fish suppers were not cooked properly. White batter inside and soft white chips. Yuk! Why is it so hard to find consistency these days? We had fish suppers from Alandas at the Edinburgh festival in 2022 and they were nice, (albeit expensive for the size of portions), so we tried them again at the Meadows. Maybe the staff were trying to serve as many people as possible on a very busy day. Please slow down guys! We will wait for crispy batter and golden chips!

Great Value. Decent size portion. Nice tasting massive fish . Will definitely come back again.

Lovely fresh cooked fish with crispy batter. Chips OK

Chips were not so good. The fish was excellent

👌 chips 👌 calzone 👌 pizza. Good prices, recommended

Delicious food, regardless of what you are taking. Portions are big and well worth the money.

to be totally honest ...always thought Alandis was amazing bt my last visit ??? Food jst wasn't up to par

This is for the Bents Longniddry. Worst battered fish ever. Hunt the fish , all batter Been singing your praises for years as Best F&C in the area but tonight has put you to the bottom on the list. 18.00 he. Very busy but no excuse!

This review is for Alandas at Longniddry Bents. A good choice of food on the menu, some chip shop regulars as well as some more unusual options. It was a beautiful Sunday evening when we visited and there were plenty of people out for a fish supper. The queue went down quickly though, and all of the staff were friendly and professional. Great to be able to add your own salt, vinegar, sauce etc. The food was delicious, only made better by the view of the setting sun over the Firth of Forth. Dinner with a view indeed!

Disgusting reheated food. Binned the lot. Wont be back.

Resolved an issue that was almost certainly my fault. I’m a regular because the food is outstanding, and that was matched today by the way in which they dealt with my call.

Nice food but way ever priced very small fish too compared to others.

Went to the shop to order to ensure the food would be hot when we got home. Ordered 2x fish suppers and pizza at the same time. When the pizza was ready we had to wait while other subsequent customers and home deliveries were served before us. Pizza not so hot by the time we got home. Pizza was ok but the pepperoni tasted cheap and nasty and the fish and chips were just edible. NOT Recommended - very disappointing

Absolutely disgusting chips snapped like twigs definitely reheated never going there again

Poor fish and chips Batter was burnt and brick hard could’ve been used as a door stop . Staff were unorganised and expensive for what you get

Got spaghetti carbonara it was disgusting,, sent it back got another one disgusting

Great food Lovely setting right on the beach Staff lovely and friendly Fish and chips to die for. I will be back

The fish and chips are cooked to perfection. Fresh and tasty & even the packaging ensured that it remained hot without becoming soggy. Benes is also good but I think Alandas has the edge!

Usual high standard of food and friendly staff.

Absolutely disgusting, chips last nights I think and well overcooked, inedible, burger to well done. Cheese falling off the pizza and the wrap had salad on it which I asked for none. Be the last I order from them. £26 down the drain.

Chips average, and black pudding was dried out. Phone in your order as took 15 minutes when walking in

food is not very good and their atmosphere plus the attitude is very bad. DO NOT RECOMMEND to anyone.

Gutted at how bad that was after hearing so much about it and paying £35 for 3 fish suppers! One piece of fish per supper and it was very small and not much flesh, batter was hard and brown and lots of it. Chips were also hard and brown. And the whole thing was swimming in salt and vinegar (as someone who loves salt and vinegar I never thought I’d say that). Possibly the worst we’ve ever had. Gutted!

The pizza is sold as Neapolitan, but is American at best. The dough tastes floury and too much extra is used during the baking process, so that masses of it stick under the pizza. In the end you just have flour in your mouth and a heavy stomach. I had the Pollo pizza with chicken. Unfortunately this wasn't seasoned at all. It's a shame since the store actually has a very good stone oven. I recommend type “00” as pizza flour.

Got fish and chips as well as pizza on delivery. Food was delivered fast, much quicker than the online expected time. Hot and tasty!

I've changed to using Alandas as their food is great, they deliver on time if not earlier than expected, great delivery drivers. Cannot fault their food or service at all. The burgers from the grill are a must try.

Having been born and brought up in Longniddry, way back in the 50's, I looked forward to going back, and to see just what the chips were like at Alandas The chips were lovely, but you got a tiny amount for the amount of cash you paid for them. And ,they were not serve up in boxes. There was a bottom plastic thin, with a couple of napkins on top, Trying to carry open food to the car on a windy day was not easy, and quite a few chips fell off, Prior to going, I had managed to get the menu up, ,and found there was very little choice, and it was expensive. Add to that the parking charges, it was an expensive trip out. Not somewhere you could afford to visit very often.

Hectic springs to mind and a bit faulty towers but food was delicious so all good and a lovely little beach to eat your food and enjoy the views 😀

Nice chips and nice sausage, loved the wood fire pizza oven, my partner loved his burger, it looked so tasty wish I had a burger

Just picked up my order as they don't deliver to Tranent and didn't get what I ordered they forgot my kebab pizza gave me a margarita instead tried to call no answer won't be back

Threw to 🦅🦢, who had difficulty as batter like concrete. Fish dried out & unpleasant . I called to complain , person agreed maybe it was " overcooked ". Did offer another "fresh", although that would have meant driving back . Always disappointing when bad food knowingly served up .

Worst chip shop I’ve ever had, Hamburger was raw in the middle and not edible, and the fish was horrendous, staffs attitude was terrible, would never recommend

My Husband asked for 2 fresh fish for his 2 fish supers only to be shouted at !!!! No he had to take the fish that was there on display it’s appalling at that price we can’t even ask for fresh fish and the way they spoke to him he had asked for his money back they didn’t like that !! We got our suppers from long Niddrie excellent service

Great choice of takeaway menu. You may find lower prices but you get what you pay for . Very pleased

Over priced with a arrogant attitude and bad service.. the the fish was cold and the chips ???? 🤮…. I torn around the truck and I see the chips on the floor out side next to the rubbish.. orribile 🤢🤢🤢

Family of 4 eaten from here this evening. All very happy with the food. 2 pizza, fish and chips and sausages. Decent price for decent food, good portions, very clean premises and friendly staff.

Extremely poor fish and chips. Visit on Sunday night at 6pm. We noticed that it’s changed ownership but we thought give it a go. When we opened the box the top layer of batter came off fish in one sheet. It was so dry and extremely poor quality the whole meal.

Ordered breaded fish and chips to be delivered. Delivery was on time. Food was not the same standard as we previously had. Very disappointed. Fish had way too much dressing and seemed to have been over cooked making it unpleasant to eat. The amount of...

Best local chippy, good pizza too

I ordered a delivery 25/02/22 and about an hour later I phoned to see where my order was, the manager answered and was extremely rude and said we are busy your order has just gone out with the driver, I live less than 5 minutes...

Possibly the very best fish and chips in the Lothians. Well worth a detour. Busy enough that they're always on the go, and your food is freshly cooked.

I ordered a delivery 25/02/22 and about an hour later I phoned to see where my order was, the manager answered and was extremely rude and said we are busy your order has just gone out with the driver, I live less than 5 minutes away from them by car, so 25 minutes later I phoned to see why my order hadn't arrived again only to be snapped at by the manager who told me that they had try to deliver it but no one answered the door, I told him that this was impossible as we had been looking out for the delivery. he then got on the phone to his driver who then phoned me and asked for my address and said oh I tried to deliver it to a different address, I'm about 15 minutes away ill get it to you as fast as i can. I was really annoyed by this point and i phone for a partial refund as i knew that my food would now be told. The Manager was EXTREMELY HOSTILE AND RUDE and proceeded to say that the food was coming back to the shop and he would give me a full refund, i asked him could i place the same order with him and come down and get it, to which he replied no it will be another 45 minutes before i cook it and put the phone down on me. honestly that is the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE i have ever experienced and i will never go back, the most frustrating thing was we had to go somewhere else to eat, but because a refund takes so much longer than a transaction i am now out of pocket until the money arrives in my account

Stale batter on the fish which was greasy! soggy sausages under average fish and chip shop

Lobster roll with Parmesan and truffle oil fries were delicious from their street food menu. Super satisfying and filling too!

Got two fish suppers on sat 22 January around 5pm and the quality of the fish and batter was extremely poor the batter was brick hard and the we could barely find the fish in it. Sorry but I was expecting much better. If you’re advertising quality you need to deliver it 🤷‍♂️

I order the mixed kabab. P.S when it came I got it delivered. Small box hardly any meat or chicken or Kabad in box. I phone up to complain and the girl I spoke said she made it up. You get 4 prices off each....

Fish like a mini whale 🐋 lovely pizzas too

Had a pizza from this place, not impressed , greasy and most the topping had slid into the corners of the box. I’ll not be back.

The Food was Delicious and there is a tremendous choice.

Fresh fish absolutlly love it big portion

Been to the van a lot this year but the last 3 times have been terrible. Won't be back. Yesterday was the worst yet. The batter was an uncooked soggy, doughy mess inside. Absolutely disgusting. The fish was so small, such a rip of at...

Not worth £19 fish and chips. Greasy and very oily chips not cooked properly, lots of small pieces underneath. Only fish was good. Overpriced and not reccomended.

Great food only down fall was they ran out of fish at 5.30 pm .
