New owner 💯 % WOW the grub was great fantastic 👏 I really wasn't expecting it to be that good I'm really blown away!!! I really struggle to eat healthy halal food in Hamilton especially Italian there isn't a Italian that does halal option apart from equis the staff have good knowledge of halal diet as you should being in the food industry!! Well spoken polite nice clean crisp white uniform 👌 some places I have been to the staff look like they have got out same bed!!😂 .I asked for halal option the young gentleman at the counter went and asked the chef and the chef himself came out and said how do you like it ? I said give me something nice he started saying have the pasta with the hot sauce so I did the way he described the dish to me the passion in his face I knew it was more then a job to this man he enjoys what he does .I have had lamb shanks the best I have ever tested, pasta, pizza words don't do the food justice. You try it !! The proof is in the pudding spectacular great staff and out this world grub really. Now I have some where in Hamilton to eat healthy food bravo 👏 .if you have halal dietary needs don't be put of by the Caucasian staff cleanest I've seen they even said you can't have this its got wine in it best honest staff I've met so for not just a sale to them it's about the customers

Ordered chip shop take away, Ordered previously and food was superb and above other chip shops. This evening, food was bland, very heavy with grease and almost all food was left due to being unpalatable. Maybe a bad night but poor standard and won't return

Equis used to be a great affordable destination for fish, chips and ice cream in the Hamilton area. Over a period of time it has deteriorated significantly. Food is so greasy to the extent it is inedible and seems like the cheapest ingredients are used. The ice cream is manufactured differently too, full of air to sell volume rather than quality. This place used to have a great name but sad to see it the way it is now. It’s now nothing special and would definitely not rush back.

Soggy batter that was far larger than the actual fish itself. Fish seemed really thin compared to the usual size. Server forgot to hand over our cans of juice / pack them at the counter, so we had driven 5miles and got home before we realised there was no juice. Couldn’t get through on the telephone to tell them there was no juice. Poor.

It had been years since we had visited Equis, but we were at chatelherault, and decided to visit again. We had memories of Equis being of a really good standard. Sadly, what we got was nothing of the sort. We should have known as soon as we entered, to be honest, as it smelled of grease. We got fish suppers, and the fish was so greasy it was stomach-churning. Never again. Change of ownership, perhaps?..

I’ve been using this place for many years - best chippy in Hamilton until recently Ever since Murat left - the quality of the fish and chips has hit rock bottom Far too greasy now and the fish is not of the same quality as it used to be Still charging gourmet prices for what is now no longer top quality stuff. I paid almost £20 for 2 fish suppers last week - the chips were lousy and the fish were hoaching wi grease! It’s been like this for a few months now so I’ll not be back!

We regularly come for ice cream, so thought we would try the cookie dough. Waited over twenty minutes for three cookie doughs. The cookie dough was not ‘doughy’ at all, in fact it broke the plastic fork provided. The sauce came in a syringe and had been sitting in the freezer along with our ice cream, so was difficult to get out of the tube. We were sadly disappointed with this experience as we love to come regularly for ice cream. Wouldn’t get the cookie dough again, waste of almost £15!

Still doing what they have been doing for all these years - fish and chips (and others) to tempt the taste buds. No wonder there is always a queue for the take away. Sit in cannot be beaten for a traditional fish tea. Always high quality fresh fish crispy batter - cannot be faulted.

My wife and I popped in here for dinner in between Christmas and new year. We’ve had ice creams over the years but had not sat for a meal for over 20 years. The dining room had not changed much and still had that nice, old school cafe/ice-cream parlour feel. Ordered the small fish and chips which as I thought the larger 10 oz would be too much. What turned up was a very small, very thin and vey greasy battered fillet of fish which was totally unseasoned and tasteless. The batter was very greasy and had zero crunch to it. The chips were even worse and were obviously not fresh, either reheats or old potatoes with no crunch and a chewy texture. The salad was a very small handful of generic leaves from possibly a premixed bag. I had to ask for the included homemade tartare sauce which again was bland and not zingy as it should be. My wife had the chicken goujons which were accompanied by the same chewy chips and basic salad. The goujons were again very bland s both the chicken or the batter had any seasoning making a very tasteless plate of food. Overall the food was below par in both quality and quantity but very overpriced.

Equis turkey is steam cooked. It's delicious. Thats the way turkey should be cooked. So the person that sent the review about greasy turkey didnt get it at equis hamilton. The braised steak is as usual an amazing dish. Took us 3 visits to get it as it had sold out each time. The red wine jus is exactly correct and delicious. The fish dish is amazing. The capers are perfect. Split for flavour enhancement. The way capers should be. Amazing to find a chef that knows how to use capers properly! The fish is also steamed for delicacy. I've never had roasted brussel sprouts, but we got them at equis. Much less bitter. I even ate them they were so good. The roast potatoes and parsnips were delicate and freshly roasted. I'm delighted with all the christmas menu. The only thing we havent tried is the nut roast. Were not veggie. As always the desserts are amazing.....the meringue is delicate, the berries fresh , the ice cream amazing! Once again equis you have turned a chippy into a fine dining experience for £10. AMAZING EQUIS

Been going to Equis for over 20 years as their ice cream was the best in the west of Scotland. Never minded making a 15 mile round trip. But the last few visits have been such a disappointment. Their award winning Vanilla is tasteless apart from a cooking oil aftertaste. It’s also so soft now even eating it immediately when purchased it’s runny.

I live in Hamilton, so I quite often visit Equis. It is a long established fish and chip shop/restaurant, run by the latest descendants of Italian immigrants. Ask anyone in Hamilton about Equis, and they will almost certainly tell you that the name is synonymous with quality food and award winning Italian ice cream. They have a sit in area at the side/rear of the fish and chip shop, and the food is cooked to order, so no stale food sold here. Whether you have fish and chips, steak pie, or lasagne, you will not be disappointed. The quality of the food is excellent, and they don't scrimp on the portions either. You will love the food, and once you try it, you will definitely go back. The ice cream is probably the best I have ever had.

Had visited this place a few times before and had no complaints, food was always great, the service was a bit slow this time took ages to get served, no follow up and ages to order a dessert had to go and ask for a dessert at the hatch. The biggest surprise that my 175ml glass of white wine and dash of soda you actually charged the price for a glass of wine and £1.50 for a dash of soda water - Really how can this be justified?

Stopped in for lunch. Good menu of hearty pub grub fare, but far superior to Weatherspoons. Big portions, my son almost didn’t want the ice cream they are so famous for after his starter and main. And the ice cream... the ice cream is out of this world. On par with gelato. Super creamy. My son had the IRN-BRU and I had the lemon meringue. Very flavourful, we ended up taking several flavours away with us, (but you can buy the vanilla at ASDA.)

The food in this small restaurant is great by far the best fish anywhere near, but the waitress service is diabolical. Everyone is too busy talking or staring into space, you always have to ask someone to take your order. Then you get the woman with the glasses who’s too good to write down your order and yet forgets half of it. Even charge you for your meal out the menu when you ordered it off the lunch menu, might only be £1.50 but when you’ve had multiple issues already I really think these small things should be checked

What has happened to this business? Busy weekend and in terms of customer service, the staff were clearly not up to it. No clear management or leadership on view and inexperienced staff were making a complete hash of getting the orders correct. Anyone can make a mistake and everyone can learn to do a job better but this team have a lot to learn. After ordering and paying, the staff couldn't manage the queue with updates or getting the orders correct - so much for the computerised system minimising waste. Meanwhile the ice cream counter appeared equally chaotic and once again there was no clear leadership in evidence. As for the food - rather disappointing fish and chips - just not up to previous standards.

Dropped in here late Sunday afternoon, deciding to sit in rather than takeaway. We hadn't booked but the staff checked bookings and managed to fit us in. The staff were brilliant and brought the menu's over. We had our 2 grandchildren with us and they were given the kids menu. Absolutely, by miles, the best kids menu anywhere.!!! Our 2 love traditional fish and chips and they are 4 and 10 so often the ten year old moves to an adult menu. No need here - the fish bites were proper pieces of haddock in their excellent batter. Kids drinks were full size glasses and then an ice cream and a 'bambinicino' Our waitress was excellent with the kids and told them they'd love the bambinocino as it was a small hot choc with marshmallows. We both had the traditional fish and chips and it was delicious. We added the tea, bread and butter option. The beautifully cooked fish came with salad perfectly dressed, and a portion of coleslaw and home made tartare sauce. The kids finished their fish and the waitress told them to go choose any flavour of ice cream from the large selection at the front counter - they loved this idea - and it came with teddy bear wafer and a sparkly cocktail stick in it - quickly followed by the cutest little expresso cups with their bambinocinos!! We indulged too in some fantastic Sundae's the ice cream is amazing.Delightful food in a delightful place with the nicest staff ever. First time here but will most certainly be back - often!!!

We visit the restaurant quite regularly and have done for years. Called to book a table for 3 adults and a high chair on Sunday around 4 and asked for the next available table which was at 5:30pm, so booked and waited an hour and half. Arrived at the restaurant and was given a table at the side of the entrance, I asked where the high chair would go and the young girl sat it at the end of the table, completely blocking the entrance to the restaurant at which point the extremely rude manageress approached us to say that we couldn’t sit there as it was a fire hazard and I hadn’t asked for a high chair when I booked, I definitely did!!! She explained that there were no other tables as the empty tables were reserved for two families with babies that needed highchairs so we had to leave. We will not return to the restaurant.

We popped in for a late lunch and were shown the 2 or 3 course menu and told what the soup of the day was then left to choose. Our meals were lovely well presented and served with a smile. The toilets were clean which is something I always check in eating places. Would definitely visit again.

For years I had always enjoyed Equi's, until today that is. Ordered deep fried mushrooms to start and was faced with 4 squashed minions, which at £4.50 I for the 1st time found very poor. No one came to ask if everything was ok, so was unable to comment until they came to clear the dishes, which was my first opportunity to discuss my disappointment. Still they thought they would charge this to my bill. Had to go through the same disappointment on two more separate occasions before this was taken off out bill. Very poor …. the accompanying side salad, would have been better on its own, had that been what I had ordered. Put me off ordering anything else.

Just recently had chip takeaway from Equis in Hamilton. Worst chips ever. As title says, best stick to the ice cream and forget the food.

After my last review when the service was very poor we decided to give it another chance.What a difference the service was excellent and quick and the food was great.

I have gone to Equis on and off over the last couple of years and I have never been disappointed. I love the fish and often try the battered and special at the same time - it tastes absolutely wonderful and with fresh chips made to order you cannot get better in the Hamilton area in my opinion. Well worth and visit and off course you need to book as they are often quite busy. The prices wont break your wallet either.

We went for a fish tea in the early evening.We were seated right away and the waitress took our order.While we waited for our meal another couple came in and the waitress seemed to know them.They ordered after us but were served before us despite ordering fish like us,when our meal finally did come the waitress spent so much time talking to the other couple i had to ask another member of staff for our tea halfway through our meal.After we finished we had to ask another staff member to clear our plates away and bring our ice cream as she was still talking to the other couple. The food was excellent but the service was shocking it will be sometime before we return if at all.

I’ve eaten here many times over the years and the quality and standard of food is always exceptional. The staff are lovely and the service is great. My only issue is the space! It’s a very small restaurant therefore space is limited. I know they need to make money but I feel that there are too many tables. It can be quite a squeeze to get to the toilets. Although the staff seem very able, winding between them with ease. It won’t stop me going back as everything else about Equi’s is just perfect.

Cannot rave enough about Equi's ice🍨cream to die for variety super. Only one complaint the queue is too long. But obviously a good clue as how good the end of it is. Friendly wee tea room too. But ice cream 🍦🍦🍦

Great old style fish and chip shop cafe. Bit more upmarket than usual and well worth a visit. Food is prepared fresh. We will return.

Took my familly on a visit to Hamilton to let them experience the joys of Equis I had when growing up, it didn't disappoint, Excellent food and efficient service, it was like stepping back in time to when waiting staff worked because they enjoyed their job. All various meals, Pizza, Pasta, Ice cream as good as I remember them. If we lived closer would make it a weekly family tradition

Had lunch with my friend her fav restaurant we had the 3 courses for £10 I think. Starters of chicken bites with BBQ sauce bit tangy. We both had the breaded fish and chips then we had ice cream which was lovely.

My daughters choice for her birthday dinner 2 years in a row... fish, chips, sides & ice cream all fantastic! Not many tables so be sure to book bigger parties. Service good, staff friendly & reasonably priced.

Love going here for fish tea, food is always fresh and presented well, 3 course for £9 is value for money. Kids is £5.50 and good portions, they love going to pick their ice cream and the hot chocolate with marshmallows they give you, the service is always good, girls very pleasant.

the chip shop is great and everything is always made fresh but Equi’s is definitely known for being the ice cream capital of Scotland

This is a long established family business supplying fast food in carry out form with an attached restaurant for sit in. The restaurant is not big and Booking is advised. The food is hot and freshly cooked with good service. The Pensioners Fish Tea includes a serving of ice cream from a wide range of flavours that is delicious.

Only been to buy ice cream which is amazing. There is a fair few choice of flavours and I have to say the mint choc chip is to die for. The strawberry too is excellent.

Bueno, normalmente no me detengo tarde por la noche en busca de comida, pero esto tiene que ser recomendado. Eran las 955 de la tarde, el lugar cierra a las 10 de la noche, así que eché un vistazo para ver qué había y nada que ver, pero el chico dijo "podemos poner algo para ti"Pensé que estaba escuchando cosas y 10 minutos después una magnífica cena de pescado. Conduje a casa y comí en la casa, ahora tengo una barriga muy feliz, tal vez no sea la comida más saludable a altas horas de la noche, pero es lo mejor para mí.Servicio de personal increíble. ¿Necesitas probarlo si ya no estás haciendo cola jajaja?
