Erdol's Fish Bar in Scottish Borders

By far and away the worst fish supper I’ve had in a long time. We went in because it was convenient after watching a rugby match, won’t be going again. I feel ripped off.

Waste of money very poor quality

Without doubt the most revolting meal - and I use the term very loosely - I have had from any takeaway in Scotland, and possibly the whole of the UK. The whole thing was cold and slopped into trays messily. The chips were cold, small, wizened things that looked like they'd been picked up off the kerb outside by a previous dissatisfied customer and served a second time. My partner's haggis was greasy and rubbery, my "rib" was as rough as the insole of a marathon runner's trainer, and both were covered in a foul, slimy, doughy "batter" which peeled off them in layers like dead skin. Seriously, if I was stumbling past this chip shop after a nuclear war, and saw its cabinets had food inside, I'd keep going and look for something to eat elsewhere, even if all I could find was a dog vomiting with radiation sickness. Absolutely foul.

Got home pizza was not quite cooked right and the chips had like melted together had I lived in town I would have went back

Staff are always nice. Food is good and they have some great deals. Offer 3 is the best.

Ordered a delivery been 1 hour + and their now shut and didn’t bother delivering I would avoid

Everything was cold I asked for a garlic and cheese with mayo and a full smoked sausage and a kids meal kids meal was just the scraps in the chip pan and grease was all over the kids meal

Food wasn’t cooked Kids meal looked like the scraps of the chip pan and nuggets weren’t cooked Wouldn’t recommend to anyone

I was visiting Hawick and decided to use this eatery (Not exactly a fish & chip shop) a general takeaway business, anyhow I required 2 fish suppers and there was only 1 fish in the cabinet which when I asked it had been there for about 30 mins so I asked if I could get 2 fresh fish staff informed me that it would be about 15 mins so I waited eventually after around 20 mins or so I got my fish 1 single and a fish supper got them back to where I was staying only to find that the frehly fried fish was lovely but the chips were shocking as if they had been there from lunch time and just terrible quality and the dregs of the frier. I did phone them and complained and they did offer to fry me some fresh ones but it was too late by then. Very disappointing and it would have been so easy to have given me fresh chips as I waited long enough. Then I went in the next night and they remembered me so I asked if I could get a fresh fry of chips which they did I waited long enough for them and would you believe it they tried to charge me £2.40 for them!! Needless to say that did not happen so remember to check your chips before you leave the shop.

Poor quality, very greasy and chips tasted like old oil. Wouldn't describe this place as a fish bar considering they sell a host of other things that are none chip shop items. Staff were also quite rude and barely said a word. I was ignored for the first 5 minutes by the guy who was sweeping up, with nobody else behind the counter at first and I was made to feel like I was really putting them out (we only ordered 2 chip rolls and a portion of chips) Won't be returning in a hurry!

I asked already 2 times to pot extra tomato-based and they never put nothing in I never go a heated from here

Would not recommend. Charged over £9 for one portion of chips and curry sauce. Did not apologise for the mistake in price and still tried to overcharge despite the price being on the board for £2. Extremely rude and reluctant to give money back. Wrong order was also given and food was not nice.

Too busy with online orders and got our wrong.

Poor quality and bad taste,3 meals for 3 adults all felt bad so no more from there

Delicious fish and chips, onion rings were home made and plenty of them

Using Edrol's quite a lot lately. ..fine quality excellent service....🦈🍟

Amazing food that's for sure but without any disrespect the language barrier with the man on the phone ia really huge, I understand there's a language barrier but it's both unfair on the man taking orders and the customer

Always friendly and food amazing

The deep-fried cheeseburger is a thing of beauty

Fish and chips always good out of here but tonight was absaloutley spot on

Great staff and the food is always top quality!

Excellent service and lovely tasty fresh food

Fish and chips freshly fried to order and a fair portion. Fish was a little small but still very tasty.

Really enjoyed the fish.It was lovely and warm...... but sadly the chips were cold ?? 😢

Used to be great! Now everything is smaller portions with a higher price. Food no where near as good. Such a shame.

When I read the other reviews thing must have changed over the months. Most horible fish and chips in the whole UK. Most terrible chips, dripping fat from them, and dry Old battered hadock. Don't go there again.

Honestly cant stress how good this place is. Ive since moved away and nothing comes close to erdols pizza. Dont know what the secret is but i have dreams about having them again. I mean, pepperoni under the chrese, enough said. I also rate the chips, and delivery has always been swift x

Items soaked in vinegar and too much brown sauce leaving a soggy mess

Very friendly fish and chip shop ,very friendly and aim to please ,quick and efficient meals made to order

Fantastic chippy, priced averagely in comparison to competitors.

Go to for a decent tasting pizza yumm ☺

Food is very good. Would recommend.

Good food, fast delivery, friendly staff

Pretty good. Batter has a little crunch. Very reasonably priced too.

Good service, lots to choose from. Reasonable princes.

If you're really hungry this is the place for you as the portions are quite large and prices in comparison to other similar take-always in Hawick are very competitive.

Recommend the sausage supper. We'll worth the money.
