Chip Ahoy in Fife

This is a total rip-off. I went there with my wife for coffee and tea. The service was so slow despite having only six clients. We had a white coffee and tea with one chocolate brownie. The charge was £12.50. I have been here several times and always been satisfied. This place has changed out of all recognition and I will never return.

Quirky little place but the portions were tiny and the fish was super greasy. I don't like to leave bad reviews but I felt for the money we paid it was poor value and not of a great quality. Its a real shame as the location is great and the place is super quirky and interesting.

Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time! Maybe ever! I got the smoked haddock and it was really tasty and fresh, Really lovely staff and a nice atmosphere

Great grub, lovely pints and well looked after by the staff. Thanks again.

Visited Pitinween yesterday. Was like a ghost town! St Fillans cave closed. Waste of w trip. Went into Chip Ahoy, ordered 3 x bowls of chips n cheese. A tea and a coffee and was charged £26.25!!! Wow total ripped off. Never again. How could they possibly charge around £7 for a bowl of chips n cheese!!

Lovely wee pub/restaurant/take away. On a day trip up to the East Nuek, we arrived at Pittenweem Harbour and thought we would try Chip Ahoy. We had been there years ago and it was good back then. Although busy, we were able to get a table. We ordered the chowder followed by fish and chips. The chowder tasted fantastic big chunks of fish, totties etc no complaints. The fish and chips again were great, big portions proper chips and the batter on the fish really crisp and not greasy. The lattes we ordered tasted nice and were hot. The decor was of paintings of the buildings harbours and boats in the local area which made it a really nice setting. The servers were polite, prompt and well presented. The toilets were clean and tidy. This is a great place to come and have a bite to eat in winter and summer. Plenty of free parking, with a carpark up the street at the West end of the Harbour.

Banter was great and fish was fresh, amazing chippy!!!

Best Cullen Skink soup ever. The owners are very attentive and kind and the place keeps the genuine atmosphere of a harbour tavern. My husband had a chippy nice buttered and crispy and I had black pudding bonbons, nice, crispy and very tasty. A wee gem in Pittenweem. We will definitely back.

Lovely place, people and amazing food! Grazie

Great guy that runs it, food for value was 10/10, small town but a lotta character in the small chippy. Give it a shot.

Great place for fish and chips on the fife coast. Very quick service very fresh fish and a good size portions. Definately reccomended.

We came way too late for us to sit in the restaurant but we had a take out and man! Since I am on gluten and lactose free diet I just dreamt of fish and chips and this was like heaven! Really reccomend this wee place in this wee town, loved it and hopefully I will visit again!

Delicious food. Dog friendly I'd recommend

Haven't eaten there ,but was working In a house behind and the gentleman saw me in my van drinking my tea.from my flask at lunch. As I walked past he stopped me and said if I want a cuppy just come In. The gesture really made my my day and was very thoughtful. I am back tomorrow so I will go in for food.

Had take away twice while staying in the village this week very good . And a bonus is the bar at the back. Friendly and polite Owner

Best fried fish I ever had and the employees are great

An absolute gem of a place with first class food - haggis Bon Bon’s to die for but the best was a smoked haddock with was fried in a light batter and was phenomenal !!!

Great place. I had the oak smoked haddock and chips. Fantastic.

At what was a busy time service was excellent and polite and had time for a short chat, food came quickly and was tasty above expectation.😋😋😋

Dreadful place. Food is poor and the service is appalling. Edit: It took them 7 years to make a sarcastic reply to a bad review. Good luck if they get your order wrong, maybe you'll get it in 2027.

Great welcome....daughter of the boss..superb...woman who has a great welcome..smiling +++...despite the work that presented itself....a woman like that is no longer found.. .am French and really..we had a great time....thank you very much....perfect...you can go there with your eyes closed....a treat...of a place... Eric...

Wow....what a beautiful place to go. Superb food, excellent service. It was a pleasure to go in. Lots of choice of whisky. The young lady who served us, the owner's daughter was so attentive and helpful, even under pressure. I will be back. What a pleasure it was to find such a lovely place. Try it, you will not regret it. Thank you. Didier

Ate inside, very welcoming staff. I had a very tasty generous portion of freshly cooked haddock and chips. Good choice on the menu. You can even just have coffee and cake if you like!

I ate in the bar area at Chip Ahoy. The Haddock and Chips were excellent and the service was great. Lovely friendly place, highly recommended.

Really lovely chippy with numerous alternatives if you don't fancy fish n chips. Hand written menu. Sit in places available. Children's plays available. Lovely service. Highly recommended

Really lovely friendly wee restaurant and our food cooked to perfection, prompt service . Thank you 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Popped in here for fish and chips more than once during our stay on the harbour front. The fish is absolutely delicious and the portions extremely generous. Prices are very reasonable considering what you'd pay for the same elsewhere. I'd highly recommend giving these a try if in the area.

Cracking wee Chippy/Pub, really good food and very Dog Friendly.

OMG it’s been 30 years since I was a student and the quality here is as good as EVER!! Absolutely delicious gluten-free batter on my fish and chips, my husband thought he’d gone to heaven😆 Exceptionally friendly staff, made us feel very welcome. And our dog was allowed in too. Fish and chips does not get any fresher or better than this.Sorry Cornwall, Pittenweem’s Larachmhor Tavern’s got you beaten.

My husband and I had fish suppers there today,( take away) . They were the most delicious fish suppers we have ever had. Will definitely be back 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We went there with our dog and the place was so friendly , the staff made a fuss of our dog gave him treats and water which was very nice , the meal came very hot and a good size portion and very tasty would definately recommend a visit, we will definately be back 😋

Love this pub. Great atmosphere.

Was here today and yesterday for some food it was very fresh and tasty and the batter on the haddock was very light... A must if you visit pittenween..we will definitely be back for the delicious food and friendly staff.. thank you x

Great food, bit pricey but expected at the seaside with no competition. Staff very friendly.

Very expensive and not much choice if you're vegetarian

We have just had fish suppers from Chip Ahoy, one in batter and one in breadcrumbs and they were both delicious. Would definitely recommend, one of the best fish suppers that we've had for a long time.

Great food and staff couldnt be more helpful great portions aswell thanks for the great meal

Great takeaway fish & chips! Freshly cooked haddock & chips for 5. Generous portions, crispy, light batter with perfect flaky fish. Not oily, just delicious. Chips were very good. Lots of condiments with generous pots. Fair few choices of other items. Didn’t wait too long. Staff super friendly. So good we went twice!

We stopped here for Mid morning coffee, not realising it was also a bar. Coffee and scone was lovely. My husband enjoyed a beer. Food being served looked great and menu looked lovely. Staff were exceptionally friendly.

My partner and I visited Chip Ahoy in Pittenweem last night for 3 takeaway fish suppers. Left £40 pound lighter and were treated like animals, we were told by the fish fryer to go over and take a seat and he’d bring over our suppers when they were ready. As instructed, my partner went over and I followed to be stopped by a woman whom I assume was the manager and asked where I was going. I said I was going to get my partner and she said ‘that should be ok?’ Which I found odd. I then went and sat with him whilst we were waiting on our takeout being brought over. We were then approached by a man who looked at us as if we had 5 heads, telling us that we could not sit at the table. We informed him we had been told to sit there temporarily whilst we waited on our suppers. Customers sitting opposite us even commented on the way we were spoken to and the looks we got. The woman behind the bar (same one that stopped me 2 minutes prior) gave us horrible looks the whole time we sat, staring at us. The same man then came over again and told us we couldn’t sit there so we moved. May I add that the seating area and chippy weren’t busy at all during this time. We then got up and moved to the takeout area to wait on our suppers, If We hadn’t paid £40 for our food which was extremely pricey for what we got then we would’ve just walked out. You do not treat customers like that 😂 absolutely ridiculous treatment, I think you should partake in a management course. The whole experience was very degrading, please treat your customers better in future. Left this review on Facebook and received an awful response from the page which reflected their unprofessional and lack of customer service skills.

Fantastic place and great to have such a warm welcome by the owner with a twinkle in his eye and great dry sense of humour- good pint, freshly cooked tasty haddock & chips -after a swim in the tidal pool what's not to love? Life in Fife at it's finest👏👏❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

We were the only guests at the Scotland Switzerland game at 8 p.m. Although it doesn't close until 10pm, we were told at 9:15pm that the pub closes at 9:30pm. This was very close to expulsion

Wonderful staff and very friendly locals. Chip shop with a bar now that's what I'm talking about. Dog friendly as well a real bonus,with lovely treats and water for our dog.

Well worth a visit, especially if you’ve walked the coastal path. No nonsense owner, friendly staff, good beer and great food. Not the cheapest place but what we experienced and ate it was money well spent.

I had takeaway fish and chips which I thoroughly enjoyed 😋

Ordered langoustine and had to return them to the ‘kitchen’ as they were not fresh and some were still frozen. Still had to pay £40 for it even though the replacement (lobster, despite saying I was happy with normal fish) was no better. Generally over priced and frozen produce, which is a shame given the location.

Order a lovely takeaway and they were so lovely to me and my dog whilst we waited. The scampi was amazing would definitely recommend a visit.

Such a warm welcome, and dog friendly with a bowl of water at the table for our dog. Food was very tasty and well presented. Good selection on main menu and specials. We were full, but the ice cream looked great too. Great wee find ✨

Good service and very accommodating to dogs. Mushy peas were cold, fish was just out of frier and oil not drained off batter, though fish was on the just cooked side.

We were really disappointed with the takeaway fish and chips from here. At £12.50 a supper we were expecting fresh tasty fish however, mine was completely saturated in salt so it was almost inedible whilst my husband said his had no flavour. The gravy and tomato sauce was watered down with vinegar too. I think you need to go to Anstruther or Crail to get the really fresh fish.

The staff are all really lovely with the exception of one man who I assume is the owner. We were in and ordered a few drinks (massively overpriced) and some dry, chips. A couple with a young child were sitting beside us and the lady took the child to change his nappy in the bathroom. Seemingly the changing station broke away from the wall and the child fell on the floor. Rather than apologising or enquiring if the boy was hurt, the owner berated the couple claiming he would have to pay £250 to have the station fixed. We sat in astonishment as this happened, not once but twice. The young couple were mortified and even offered to cover the cost, I've no idea why as the wee boy was well within the weight limit for such a station, but the owner aggressively stated "I'll cover your damage for you!" He should've been far more concerned for the safety of children in his establishment but never even asked if the child was ok. Utterly disgraceful. We won't be back. Given there is literally nowhere else to go in Pittenweem when the excellent West End Bar is closed this chancer obviously believes he can treat people badly and over charge for a poor product

Looking for langostines & they had them. Very disappointed once we started eating them. The were very dry, sometimes the leg didn’t even have meat in it. They served old seafood. The mussels & the hamburger were the only good meal items. The starter, prawn cocktail, was good. Ultimately, though, the haddock & the langostines were disappointing. The server was pleasant but not overly helpful. Had to ask for anything you need, including sugar when getting tea. Probably should have gone to Dory down the street.

£38.50 for 10 Langoustines which were well overcooked and had absolutely zero taste - we were very disappointed as it was a lovely little quaint bar/restaurant in a gorgeous village! Grossly overpriced and the burger was terrible too! Prawn cocktail was great!!

Fab place. Good menu, big portions. Excellent food, lovely staff, especially shaved head chap. Nothing too much trouble. Very clean. Always seems to be open. Dog friendly. My dog was given a bowl and a treat without even asking! Spot on. Will be coming here more often.

2 Cappuccinos, 1 hot chocolate, 1 empire biscuit to takeaway £17 Must have been unicorn milk

Arrived here on a wet and windy night, soaked to the skin. Was instantly warmed by the welcome and shown a table next to the heater so we could thaw out. We both ordered the battered smoked haddock and I have to say, they were the best fish and chips I’ve ever tasted (and believe me, I’ve eaten a lot!) 5 stars for the food and the service. Wouldn’t hesitate to drive the 4 hours back for another round! PS my partner said the pint of belhaven was cracking 🍻 Pps I even ate the mushy peas and I have hated them since I was little.

We just wanted a drink on our way through and got chatting to the lovely owner outside so we went in. It felt strange going into a chippy for a drink but the staff were so lovely and the malbec was decent so I'm glad we did. The owner gave us some freshly made poppadoms and homemade onion chutneys which were delicious. I'd like to go back for a meal.

Excellent fish and chips, Cullen Skink, and a very, very good pint of Guinness. Highly recommend 👍

Great food and excellent service 😄

We stopped off for fish & chips after a swim in the tidal pool. What a treat it was - the lady who looked after us was just lovely, giving us a big table & welcoming our little dog & making sure she had a drink & a treat. Good choice from the menu but we chose haddock & chips which was lovely. Such a lovely atmosphere with the pub bar in the restaurant too, but the standout point was the incredible hospitality, thank you so much, we'll definitely visit again.

Went in this place on Sunday afternoon, just after 2pm just enquiring if they were still making filled rolls, and this rude individual approached me without saying hello, calling me laddie I'm a 50 year old man!! very unfriendly, saying I was too late for a filled roll and that his place was a restaurant, shouldn't state he does filled rolls then if he doesn't! and what I needed was a cafe. To be totally truthful I have detected some kind of racism from this individual, because as he was speaking to me, he doing hand gestures showing me the door as if he didn't want my custom or even in his shop That is one place I will never set foot in again, maybe some manners need to learned by this man.

Had a few prossecos on Thursday and pints of Guinness chatted with the owner allan while we had our drinks , very plausible we decide to get some fritters which were great yes been in here loads and will be back when we visit pittenweem.

Excellent place nothing to much trouble. Great food and hosts

What a lovely find, we stopped in to warm up after a long walk - try the Cullen skink, it’s absolutely excellent!

Warm dog friendly cafe. With beautiful paintings of local scenes on the wall, to add to the atmosphere.

Nice place.. have eaten there before and have been happy with the quality in the past.. but when I recently went the scallops were not fresh.. although nicely presented they were not worth 25 pound.. aside from that, the service is lovely and it’s a nice wee place for lunch… might try it once more in the hope it was just an unlucky day…👍

Arrived at night and had no service on my phone Alan let me hook up to his internet so that I was able to call the owners of the airbnb I was staying at got me into the unit. Really went above and beyond helping me. I have no hesitation in giving this place 5 stars. Magic people all the staff especially the owners Alan and Leslie.

endroit super sympa et patrons très accueillants ! des poissons extra frais.

Not the best fish supper l've had in the East Neuk of Fife. Just ok.

Shockingly bad Ordered the langoustines, scallops, smoked mackerel and chips all to come at the same time as eating altogether as a family. Scallops were served with haggis and bread. Scallops were still sandy haggis was under cooked bread was stale. Langoustines served with garlic butter and oatcakes. Over cooked and god only knows what the garlic butter was more like runny dyed cream that stained everyone’s mouth yellow. Smoked mackerel was decent but no chips, peas or tartar sauce as described on the menu. Chips were very undercooked. Serving staff were pleasant until I mentioned the undercooked chips and lack of sides for mackerel. Cooking staff looked scruffy and unkept. If your going to be serving and charging decent prices you need to get it right, total disrespect to the beautiful seafood on your doorstep.

Lovely place, very cosy. Service was great and staff were really friendly. Food was excellent.

Had used the takeaway chippy, earlier in our stay in Pittenweem, for chips to go with our meal back at rental cottage. Last night of our holiday decided to call in, after day out, for meal as "dog friendly". Not busy, got table for four, dog offered treat and bowl of water. Food was good, brother and his wife had the Balmoral chicken which they said was good but veg were cold; my wife had two starters - mussels & a crab dish, again good; I had main course mussels & chips again good, but served with a slice of plain white bread, a more rustic type of bread / baguette would have been great to dip up the sauce. Service was excellent. Only ourselves and another couple in restaurant so very little atmosphere. Good pint of Belhaven Best.

My friend and I went here for dinner when up for a few days. We really enjoyed the food. I had sea bass which was delicious and my friend had the fish and chips. We would both highly recommend. Staff and service was excellent.

We ate here with family on a couple of occasions when we were staying in Elie on holiday recently. The fish suppers were unbelievable. Great service too and dog friendly. The dog was even brought a wee treat. We'll definitely be back to eat here when we visit the area again

Got a mediocre fish supper to takeaway. Very disappointed chips were bland fish was very small all for a princely sum of £15 ( fish supper was £12.50 so can only assume tub of ketchup was £2.50) will never use again.

Lovely restaurant in a beautiful harbour location.

Heerlijk gegeten zeer vriendelijke bediening, leuke locatie en goede keuze in lokale gerechten, genoten van cullen skink soup

Had takeaway fish’n’chips which was lovely and very fresh. Really have to mention the very lovely and helpful young guy that served us - he also cooked the food. He couldn’t have been more polite or helpful. Would definitely recommend

Dropped by for afternoon tea. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Service was good.

The Fish and Chips were ok, but as we got a Pensioners portion it was a bit on the small side. We were £19 for 2 of those with a can of juice, so if you have a hungry family it could be a bit costly. in fairness most places in Pittenweem seemed expensive to us. The place was nice and clean and service was quick.

Very expensive and not worth the money. Haddock was fresh. Male owner is not someone I will give my time nor money to because he stated " I don't like coloured people" as we ordered. Oh, and the Witch mural is ridiculous.

Don't understand negative reviews here, we were staying a few doors down from the shop and had the best fish and chips for a long time, friendly staff, chatty locals, felt very welcoming

Such beautifully fresh battered haddock and chips! Chip Ahoy has a small but varied menu; mainly fish but with meat dishes too. Service excellent. Average prices for food and drink. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. What's not to love!

I am a Cullen skink lover and I had the best I have ever had from this pub today. Outstanding! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely people! That's just what stood out here. The village is delightful, great views and a nice little walk by the pier. The pub menu was surprisingly large and we got enough options for all- vegetarians included. Drinks were great too! Loved that they served poppadums with a special onion chutney. 😋😋 Definitely recommended!

chip ahoy is a seafront pub come chip shop come restaurant. it does exactly what it says on the tin, providing well prepared food, a good pint and friendly service. we popped in tonight for a classic chippy tea - fish, chips, and mushy peas. young joyce, our waitress was friendly and helpful and the guys in the kitchen whipped up some lovely fresh fish in a light crispy batter. it was an excellent meal and made even better with an superb local malt whiskey that joyce recommended. we'd be in again if we were staying longer in pittenweem. to summarise - good food, drink, and service, but don't expect luxurious surroundings!

We ate in at this chippy with a bar. There's a good selection of fish on the menu but also some meat dishes for those that prefer that. We ordered the haddock and chips which came with a small portion of mushy peas and pot of sauce. The fish was as fresh as if it had just walked through the door from the harbour, chips were perfect too. Our waitress was Joyce who, altho busy, made sure all customers got proper attention. She also had good knowledge on the drinks too and suggested a local whiskey to try. All in all it was a great experience and we both had empty plates! And well done to the guys frying the fish....that batter was light, crispy and golden!

Fantastic food lovely staff made us feel very welcome 🙏

My self & my partner &my son and his partner went there for the day and we decided to go to the chip ahoy for something to eat we had 4 fish and chips 2 prawn cocktails 3 cans of justice fresh orange and lemonade glass of water It expensive as it cost us £95.00 definitely not be going back as on the price list it says £12.50 for the fish and chips =£50.00 so works out to be £45.00 between 2 prawn cocktails and the drinks

Got 2 kids fish and chips and an adult one. £29 and really not worth it. They were all really small, the fish was mainly batter, not a lot of fish at all. The chips were ok. The Wee Chippy in Anstruther is a substantially better experience.

Called in here today, met some lovely people. Ordered food, absolutely superb. Good experience, good fun, met the Harbour Master, 👍

We popped in for a drink after walking from St Moans, and the staff was very welcoming. I can't comment on the food as we didn't have any, but it was very busy, and everyone who was eating seemed happy with their orders. Our dog's were made very welcome too, and despite being busy, they took the time to make a fuss of them. They also gave them some treats and got them a bowl of water. We would most definitely pop in again

Fish and chips were disappointing…hardly any batter on the small sized fish and a kids sized serving of chips for £12.50. If you’re staying in Pittenweem I’d recommend going to Anstruther for them - where they’re much tastier and obviously cooked by folk who actually know how to make fish and chips.

i would stay away from chip ahoy and go to Anstruther instead dinner was shocking i got stake pie with mash it was served in a small ovel bowel with a small rime of mashed potatoes around the rime no vegetable 5 small bits of stake my partner ask for a Sunday roast which should come with roast potatoes veg mash and Yorkshire puddings all it came with is 1 peace of chicken in the middle of the plate two small spoons of mashed potato 1 one side of the plate and one the other and two Yorkshire puddings that was it made a protest when paying the £37 bill the manager just told his staff member to charge the full price the staff were so rude was there last Saturday as well for a take away it was ok till a seen them cook the white pudding in the fryer then put it in the microwave so got that with about 12 chips for £12 well overpriced i will never be back there so if anybody ask they will be advised to stay away as staff are rude and the food is over priced rant over

Quirky wee place ,a take away chippy,restaurant & bar ! We stopped for a drink, bar really nice, well stocked,good wine & reasonably priced. Menu looked nice Extremely dog friendly offered treats and water for our pooch & a small appetiser came with our drinks Staff very friendly and cannot fault the service at all We will definitely return And the location is fabulous

Adapted post - Rude rude rude staff! And apologetic comment to this review changed to a rude passive aggressive message when I didn't reply. Absolutely ridiculous! Would never eat here again. ** We usually go to the Larachmhor a good few times a month and it's always been decent. Good service and good food! Went there this evening. Was charged £16 for chips and cheese and a children's fish supper which was half a tiny fish and 10 chips. It was pretty horrible to be honest. The chips were very very greasy and hard, the fish was slimy and there was so much paper stuck to the bottom of them both. Very disappointed and definitely puts me off going back 😞 Wouldn't usually do a review but it was particularly disappointing. **

Great service, great staff.keep up the excellent service.

Food is excellent, as for the atmosphere by the harbour... couldn't be more friendly! We will hope to be back, and soon! 😁

What a staff. Sooo friendly. Had a lovely experience. Would certainly recommend it. Thanks aĺ for a lovely afternoon.

Busy chip shop, bar, restaurant. Seems to be the only fast food outlet in Pittenweem. Fish supper was excellent - had with red wine!
