Alfonso's in Scottish Borders

Best fish supper in the Borders.

Always had nice food from Alfonso's my only gripe is that they don't seem to deliver.

Kebab, fish, sausage or pizza...fresh and tasty! Don't listen people who complain! They've got sad existence 🤷 food always warm and staff always happy! Thanks guys 🤝

Clean spacious shop, huuuge portions

Very good fish suppers. Good portions and reasonably priced

The best calzone I've ever eaten. Regards. Poland

Hot fresh and very tasty food, I don't have a fish supper very often and this one was as good as any I've had, fish was perfectly cooked with a delicious crisp batter, proper chippy chips, lovely.

Lovely fish supper tho a little bit expensive

Spotless, great well presented food, a must for fish and chips but plenty of other great choices too.

Best fish and chips in the borders

Below average kebab, chilli sauce poor but maybe just my taste. Would not order again Went back and ordered a spicy haggis It was still nearly frozen in the middle I'm afraid the whole experience 😞😞

First warning sign is that it advertises `Fish`, not Haddock or Cod just `Fish`. Well Whiting is fish ... it`s also tasteless, but hey, no arguing that it`s anything other than a fish. Suspect I was served up either Whiting or at best frozen fish which looses all its taste in the freezing process. Second warning sign is that it was obviously pre-cooked and served up immediately it was ordered. The batter scored 0 out of 10. Nothing crispy about it. A dreadful gluey substance with the appeal of wallpaper paste. One of the worst Fish Suppers I`ve ever had. How this place has so many 4 star reviews is a cosmic mystery.

Fish and chips excellent as usual. Regular customer.

This is the best chippy takeaway in the Scottish Borders. On opening they have prepared and cooked loads of food for the customers so the turn over is quick so you don’t wait long. The place is immaculate and the staff very polite. I would recommend this place to anyone.

This is a fantastic chippy. Although it is the only one around for miles, I think if another chippy opened up nearby, they'd be hard pushed to beat Alfonso's. I gave it a 4 star because every now and then, the chips would be a bit dry or overcooked. Or the batter on the fish might be dry, and the fish itself might be dry. I do have to say, though, it's quite rare this happens.

We love Alfonso's! The service is great and the food is delicious!

My family absolutely love Alfonzo chippy food is always fresh and the fish and chips are just lovely .my kids love our Saturday night chippy

Great food large portions always remember their customers 😀

Excellent service, and very tasty food

Great wee chippy, beautiful fish and chips. I could do with wee bit more sauce, otherwise 5☆.

Amazing kebab supper! Well worth the drive out.

Fast friendly service and fish supper I bought was one of the best I've had in a long, long time. Highly recommend. Also noted they sell kebabs, pizzas 🍕 and soft drinks.

Alfonso should stick to making pizzas; the fish was dry, the batter lank, the chips full of oil. Mind you, the deep fried haggis was nice!

I work in the Border s General Hospital and my shift pattern does not always match with the opening times , However managed to get to this amazing place on 6th August I was first in lol ordered the amazing Pizza Calzone (Spicy) from menu AMAZING and Chips freshly made , server gave me a five minute notice while I sat in my car . Summary GREAT food GREAT staff and place is Spotless so the best takeaway for me in the Scottish Borders Steve Dunn Woop Woop

Superb food, especially the mixed kebab.

Absolutely fabulous staff extremely efficient massive range of choice on offer and looked very nice. The fish and chips was very well cooked and tasty

very good fish & chips, with plenty of other choices of fast food options. friendly helpful staff.

Don't bother. We both had fish and chips tonight. Horrible soggy chips and a very small piece of fish for £20. What a waste of money.

Chips edible. But pizza and scampi were soggy, and the 'spring rolls' were goop fried. Wasn't exactly cheap either. Also charged £1 for inedible mayonnaise and ketchup.

Excellent food, fast & clean establishment for Fish & Chip shop menu items, they also do pizza 🍕 & kebabs.

Stopped in on the way back from Edinburgh. Lovely fish and chip.

Make sure you have what you asked for before you leave. Staff either had their ears painted on or just didn't care. Not even with an Edinburgh accent would a chicken breast supper sound like chicken steaks! We were already part way up the road home when we stopped to eat and discovered we had the wrong thing. Won't be visiting there again!

No complaints on the standard of food. Good fish n chips. The problem with this place is the wait. Every time I have been here, there is always a lengthy wait for either fish or chips.

Haben uns hier fish and Chips geholt, super lecker. Schneller Service und top Preis für die Größe der Portion. Perfekt um den Sonnenuntergang am Aussichtspunkt 5min weiter zu genießen.

Best chippy in the borders great staff very friendly great food and clean shop always x😁

The food was very nice. It was very busy. However, that is a good sign.

Very impressed. Very clean, well organised friendly staff and good prices. Excellent

I ordered a kebab wrap, chicken wrap and chips both with garlic sauce. On arrival, the shop was busy which usually means good things! We are on holiday in the area, so phoned ahead to pre-collect. The food was delicious, we enjoyed every bit - there was so much food we both were stuffed and ended up leaving some for the next day :). The only reason for scoring 4 and not 5 would be the lack of garlic sauce in both wraps - I don't even think we had any in to be honest even though we did ask. However, the delicious food made up for this, we didn't need the additional taste! The chicken kebab was insane. Highly recommend 👍

Great fresh food and excellent service

Resident of Galashiels. Tried places here and was advised to go here and try their pizzas. After trying several places in Gala and a well known chain I can honestly say their pizzas are way better. Great service. The fish and chips are always freshly cooked and look great. Be warned, there is always a queue during peak times because they’re such a great place. Staff are great and friendly.

Batter and chips. Ordered fish chips and curry. The “fish” was basically one long piece of batter with barely any substance. When I did finally find some fish it was dry and over cooked. The curry sauce was pre portioned and warmed in the microwave before me and the portion of chips was left wanting. Looks like the owner has spent so much doing the shop up that they’ve cut back on quality and portion size to claw back some of that money. Avoid.

Very good chippy. All their food is excellent.

Reasonably priced, cater for all dietary requirements. Very good location and friendly staff, very clean too. Fast delivery, Highly recommend, nice family run business

Best chippy in the borders!! Great service and great food

Fish and chips are the best in the area. Travelled from Gala for these.... Nom Nom Nom 😋

Iovely takeaway the staff are very friendly and food is reasonably priced. The Kebab I had was amazing and the fish was nice last time too. The chips are fresh and hot. Well worth the 15 mile round trip

This is one of the best takeouts we have been to. Decor is smarter than most restaurants. Our party had Fish and chips and mixed kebab. Absolutely delicious!

Wraps and chicken were good. The fish and chips were not the best.

Best in all uk! Every week is our pleasure to eat a fish supper here and so professional and clean. If you look for an amazing fish and chips in the Scottish Borders here where to go.

Very clean, best fish and chips in the borders, staff are friendly, only thing id say is that it's a bit over priced for fish supper

I had fish and chips, and waited for the chips to be cooked fresh... Unfortunately the fish tasted like it had been kept warm for a good hour or so. Not great unfortunately. However the staff seemed nice and helpful.

A new outlet in Galashiels was worth a try. Not been anywhere else since they opened. A Saturday night regular for Fish & Chips.

Without a doubt the best Fish and chip shop in the Borders. Great variety of take aways available. Food is of a high quality and great portion sizes. Worthy of mention are the staff who are excellent and always helpful. Get there for 4pm sharp.....leave it later and you will queue. But even then its worth it..

The best chippy in the borders if not Scotland. First class food , great staff and the place is spotless.

Chips weren't the best and chicken pakora was dry! No better than the bad chippies in gala or melrose.

My wife and I have been going to Alfonso's once or twice a month for the last couple of years. The fish has always been perfectly cooked and the chips have always been perfect too. Until last night that is. Alfonso's son didn't appear to be around last night. It was someone different frying last night. When we arrived at 16.50 they had ran out of chips and were cooking more. I've never known them to run out this early in the day. We ordered our usual 2x fish suppers. The fish was overcooked and greasy and the chips were undercooked, hard and greasy. We won't be there again unless the usual fryer is cooking.

Best fish and chips I've tasted for a long time great service

Great staff, best chippy around I travel from Preston Duns for the quality of food from this chippy . Keep up the good work

The best fish and chips in the borders!

Really nice and friendly. Really good food highly recommended

Perfect as usual .....the best Chippy in the Borders ....huge portions of fish and sooo fresh, chips are plump and delicious 😋

Best chippie for miles...Great pakora chicken.

Good fish and chips. Offers pizza as well.

You ask for a fish supper & you get half a fish 6.50 for half a fish & 3.00 for a portion chips

Just been to Alonso's for the first time and it was awesome. Great big piece of fish with chips and smokey. There was so much fabulous food to choose from and staff were great. if you haven't been take a night off cooking and treat yourselves it was delicious. Friday nights the diet is going to be well and truly forgotten about..

A really nice market place with lots of independent shops as well as more well known. There is lots of parking in and around the marketplace

Great food good chippy excellent kebabs

Best chip shop in the borders, that's my real opinion

Great chippy, well organised and everything made to order will visit again

It is the best fish and chips in the borders

Nice size, good staff, and well presented food.

Best chippie o the borders never fails me this chippie yum !!

The positives clean and reasonable quality food. Unusual for a chip shop is the variety of food it does along side the normal menu you have kebabs pizzas etc. The negative side is the food on the traditional chip shop menu is not cooked fresh and kept in the hot cupboard above the fryer. Most chip shops certainly in the south west of Scotland cook to order.

Great takeaway and very helpful staff. Try the hoagie with chicken instead of donner with chilli sauce and mayo, you will not be disappointed.

Opening hours state 12-2 lunchtimes. Drove there for lunch. It was shut!

Great food at great prices. Staff always friendly

Not impressed at all !!!! Pizza disgusting !!!!

Used to be the best place for chippy. Disappointed with the quality of food and the staff attitude when I called to place an order needs a bit of work!

Food was nice , the lovely male staff were very proffessional with my queries ,i do admit ! A++ !! but the un eco polysytrene style packaging for a few chips added to the no choice?? packaging ? Get a grip and get eco friendly yous ,, ,??

ok a bit expensive I thought for the fish supper I had especially compared to one I had in Langholm which was really good and over a pound cheaper

Great food and great service Value for money

Food was fresh cooked and delicious

This has to be the best fish and chips shop in the Scottish borders. Staff lovely and polite and fish was absolutely amazing

My sausage was amazing and would recommend

It's always fresh and they also have very nice staff 😊

Excellent takeaway really good sevice

Always great food Best by far around the borders

amazing fresh food with friendly staff

First visit to this takeaway recommended by family and many friends. Excellent fish dinner.

Best fish and chip shop in the area. Spotlessly clean and a great range of food items including pizzas and kebabs. Food freshly cooked to order. Staff always friendly.

Not going back if someone has the courtesy to respond to you when you advertise a job have the decency to answer them instead of having read the message and ignoring them shame on you ignoring a young teen looking for work

We travel the 18 miles return trip from Galashiels to get our fish suppers. The ones here can't compete. Lovely thick cod and big fish.

Great fish and chips,best in the borders.

The menu is great from fish and chips to pizza and burgers, very friendly staff and the phone ordering is great and food is ready for time you arrive.

Best fish and chips in the borders 👍👍

...there's so often a bloody great queue to get served. Because the fish n chips are first class. often a bit of wait, which is a good sign in a chippy in my opinion, but well worth it. yum yum.

Good chippy. Parking outside can be difficult at busy times due to drivers inability to park a car properly.

Staff are friendly food fantastic and value for money

My Wife and I had a takeaway from Alfonsos during a recent trip to the Borders and it was the best fish and chips we've had in a long time. I'm glad we bought a bottle of their sauce as we used it through the rest of our road-trip. Delicious!! Highly Recommended!!

Good priced food Also shop spotless Good variety of food to choose from
