Ginos Fryer in North Ayrshire

Went in, and girls ran off their feet, and had a sausage supper, and a half standard/half special fish supper. Girls were lovely, and the food was outstanding. Best chippy in Largs by a mile. It's a bit chaotic, as all good traditional Italian chippys should be. Wouldn't go anywhere else. 5 star from us.

Love the vegan menu and definitely worth the drive from Glasgow 😊🙏🏻🌱💚 can't wait to come back and get the vegan pizza crunch 😋 thank you

2024 update - vegan calamari still not available. Does it even exist? I felt as I was being looked down on for being foreign. Waited 30 minutes! Staff ignored me completely while other people who waited less were being advised and updated on a progress and I just stood there like I was invisible. 2019- went there while in Largs as heard they do vegan dishes. Tried vegan - crab cake (not amazing as didnt taste of fish cake just like some savoury cake which wasnt bad:)) , prawns, fish and scampi - all good, served with lovely mushy peas and tartare sauce . Nice and helpful service despite being busy. Would recommend and would go back :)

Great range of delicious food, shame about the absolutely rubbish service and xenophobic staff. First time of note: I get the server pulling a face at me as I express delight at a novelty (well, novelty to me, not long here from overseas and trying to find joy in the small things) food item whilst I’m conversing with his coworker (my neighbour here). Second time: I call up from where I work about a sausage supper and wether it can be delivered to my place of work (literally, right across the street, must be 50 yards if that and has been no bother before)- only to be ridiculed by the server, quoted 17 odd quid (You what?) and told yeah no delivery (cool, I’ll pop over). Anyways, that evening I went over on my break for my sausage supper and to air my grievance in a rational way (I’ve been in service in some form or another since the age of 14 & try not to be a dick), only to get an embarrassed silence along side my usual sausage supper. third time: I went back (last week) to clear the air but from the shift managers attitude (and a very poorly wrapped item) it seems to be they reckon I am the one in the wrong. I won’t be returning, will save my custom for the award winning Fishworks (great view, great food) or one of the other dozens of food establishments that offer way more than this place does…all Gino’s seems to be good for is a side of appallingly inconsistent service (fuelled by xenophobia, IMO) with your order.

The chips were roten that's the first time they have been like that

Love this chippy when i come down to largs,Great price,fab portion + pizza suppers are delish,Also the staff are lovely 🍕🍟👌

Fish supper was hard as a brick and the grease was running out of it went straight into the bin also staff can't understand what your saying three times I said my order which was only two items and three times she tried to charge me for three then some old lady started being very rude to me I'll never step foot in the worst fish and chip shop in Ayrshire again 👎

I thought I would try this fast food outlet as I am new to Largs. Really disappointing. The fish suppers were greasy and over cooked.

The food is good, sometimes things get forgotten in an order but you can over look it as it’s not all the time. However today we went in and it was pretty quiet around 7:20 and ordered food. There was a new guy on, the dark haired girl absolutely humiliated him, spoke rudely to him, and generally tore strips of him in ear shot of customers. He was asking questions and trying his best and the girl just was either sarcastic or rude. I honestly wanted to hug him. I felt so so embarrassed that he knew we could hear him being addressed rudely. Sadly this girl has been rude to co workers before my husband has seen it so clearly she doesn’t enjoy her work. If that’s the case don’t do it. Your damaging (i assume your family’s) legacy by behaving badly to your co workers. You’re meant to be a team. If that was me I’d have quit on the spot. Food was delicious so I’ll return but it soured a nice treat out for me and my friend as we left very stressed and upset by what we saw. Also the wait for my food was pretty long. 10 mins but turned into 35/40 minutes. It seems they can’t handle how busy it is and the over all feeling was that of chaos and anger. (Only on this one girls part)

Superb food, expertly cooked. Lovely staff and very reasonable prices!!

The food was great !! The place was busy !! The staff were frazzled!! The wait was long!! The Funfair was in town!!

This place is amazing! It has options for everyone's preferences and dietary requirements. They have a great selection of gluten-free and vegan options. I enjoyed the gluten-free fish and chips (I really missed having a good one!!). We ordered for 13 people and everyone was very happy! The service was also a strong point. The staff was vey friendly and patient. I absolutely recommend!

Dreadful service. Order taken from a girl swigging a 2 litre bottle of water who didn’t seem interested in taking an order. Ordered a small fish supper. Fish swimming in grease.

Excellent choice for gluten free with a separate menu to choose from and staff are all very helpful and friendly A+ service and food was excellent 👌

Large special supper was very good

Good chippy good food/choice , young girls serving so ill say no more .waiting times can exceed 10 mins

Dreadfully small portions for all 4 fish suppers. Won't be back.

Takeaway chippy with more than standard menu including many vegan options Slow service told twenty minutes waited 50 minutes, food okay not large portions

Right in the centre of Largs- seating on opposite side of road.Good portion of fish and chips.

Just bought a small fish supper 16.37 opened it in the bus home, only two edible chips in the box the rest looked like fried potato skins A small fish supper right enough!!!

Extremely poor. Fish tiny and tasteless. Chips average. Not worth the money.

Better than the average take away and very good prices

Ginos really has went downhill. 2 fish suppers last night and I wish I had just went to fishworks. Fish was dripping in oil and chips were not even average. Got a large portion and it was exceeding stingy in size. Will not be back.

Greasiest fish supper I've ever had

It's great and has a wonderful selection, especially as I have vegans and gluten free in the family.

Really well made food with a full vegan menu and a gluten free menu. Small place and always busy so expect to wait, but it's worth it!! Right near the coast so lovely to sit by the water afterwards to eat.

Concentrate more on delivery's now than foot traffic. Used to be the best in Largs ...

Carry out chippy, fish sausage and tue vegan option...tasty and nice boxes

Use this chip shop a lot and always very good. Unfortunately the last twice not good, last one fish was not cooked properly and chips were reheats. Phoned to let them know, not interested, the lady who answered the phone just hung up. Good customer relations ?? I think not. A lot of money to have to put in bin.

My mouth is watering writing this review, best vegan fish and chips I have had and I have tried quite a few. I am coming back to Largs in June for 4 nights, I love Largs but this vegan chip shop is one of the main reason I have chosen here again.

Great chip shop. Good variety and tasty food at good prices

Salt and pepper squid is delicious. Crispy batter on the outside and melt in your mouth squid on the inside. Yuuuuummmm!

Dry as anything withoot a dip... Was really looking foward to the vegan grub and came to find we were given a non-vegan dip, really disheartened as everything we got was dry as anything dipless... a shame.

Another lovely meal from ginos fryer rosting hot will defo be back delivery lady is great thanks again

Best gluten free fish and chips for miles around!!

Really great vegan stuff, varied menu including pasta and deserts. Gets busy in the summer season so have to get in early with orders

Amazing chipshop! Only a short walk from the water front too. Easily the best place in the country for vegan choices, full menu of options! Can sometimes have a short wait as all vegan items are cooked to order, but it's well worth it! We've travelled several hours before, purely for this chippy, and it's worth it every time.

Fantastic fish and chips . We are Gluten free and the batter is amazing

Best chippy in largs. Look after the vegan and gluten free customers

Staff not very welcoming and the Fish and chips tonight was very poor everything looked like it was cooked in old oil, this was supposed to be a treat but sadly disappointed

Normally excellent but tonight the chips were hard and dreadful.

40 mins before closing time wouldn’t make a burger. Unbelievable! Had to go elsewhere.

I stood for a good 5 minutes whilst the three members of staff on duty failed to acknowledge the people waiting, messed around with a ‘discount’ code and ignored other customers who were also waiting for service, only to be told rather abruptly that they weren’t serving anything Gluten Free tonight. Having travelled for miles - on recommendation - to enjoy the treat of a GF fish and chips, after a rather taxing day, this was most disappointing. Perhaps, rather than discussing who is working tomorrow, they could have provided customer service and/or a gluten free option which was so highly anticipated.

Absolutely 💯 love this place, it's my go to everytime I'm in largs food is fresh, tasty 😋

So many vegan options it's unreal. Great price and good portion size. Vegan haggis was excellent. I will be back again for more.

Excellent vegan menu. It's a shame they don't open till 4pm like the other chippies in the area. This is the main reason we don't often get food from here as we're usually down throughout the day.

Great Vegan menu, excellent chips. Very good breaded mushrooms and vegan garlic mayo. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the vegan crab cakes and vegan scampi. I enjoyed polite efficient service even when they extremely busy. Will definitely eat food from here again next time I'm in Largs as I want to try the vegan Calamari.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Foods Beautiful AND VERY FRIENDLY STAFF AND GREAT SERVICE ☘️

We went here for the Gluten free options. Wow what a selection of fresh seafood & chipshop classics. It was a sunny day and they were queued down the street with a 15-20minute wait time. Staff were honest about this, very polite, smiley and communicated well with everyone waiting. Chips, fish and panko prawns with lovely homemade tartar sauce were all perfect and as expected. Probably in the running for the best takeaway in Ayrshire or maybe Scotland....can't wait to go back 😋

Great selection of food, lots of vegetarian choices that are varied and tasty! 100% our go-to chippy. Prices are great too.

Brilliant fish supper. The gluten free batter is the best about, and the homemade tartar sauce was heaven. I want to go back to Largs just to visit Gino's.

Fish and chips are superb. Fish fried to order and great prices. Very friendly staff

Whenever we are going to get a chippy we go over to ginos as it has great food and lovely staff. There's a great selection and always cooked right. I love the monk fish

Friendly staff always available and ready to help

First time visit here best fish chips I have had for ages.Will be back.thank you

We've been meaning to visit Gino's Fryer for ages as it's our nearest chippy that offers decent vegan options. To say we were impressed is an understatement - just wow! The vegan selection was jaw dropping, and everything listed on the menu was available and I think most of it is homemade. We had to try one of each item, and every single morsel was delicious. The battered vegan sausage was a particular highlight for me. We'll definitely be returning soon to sample some more amazing vegan goodies!

15 minute wait to order, then around 45 minute wait outside for mediocre food. Not very good for local chippy. (Which used to be good). Went there for fast food as didn't want to cook. Would have been quicker to cook chicken breast and chips at home, which would have been more nutritional than their bits of chicken bits cooked in batter.

while waiting at least an hour while others were wafting well pas an hour and a hlaf and were asked more than once if we had ordered to have cold rubbish food handed across while customers outside were commenting on 2 hour waits and we were considering ordering from greenock which may have been faster and a dreadful attitude with very poor service I do not recommend this chippe if it is busy

Firstly, the two young girls have very bad attitudes, and clearly didn’t want to be there ( then leave!). The fish suppers were meant to include mushy peas and tartare sauce - there weren’t any!! The fish was not fresh, and had a very greasy taste - and worst of all - there were BONES!!!! They were more interested in dealing with Delivery orders than with present customers. All in all a very bad experience - this used to be the best chippy in Largs - but no more. Don’t waste your money here - head to Viking. VERY POOR!

So much cheaper than those on the beach front but much much tastier. One of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had, would recommend you try the aranchini it’s incredible!

Not the first time I have had problems with ginos. Tonight I got macaroni delivered , there was not 1 bit of sauce it was hard and lumpy and tasted horrible . I was on hold for 5 minutes until they discussed my complaint to be told at 8pm the delivery driver was away home and had to go down for my money back . I took the macaroni in to show them what I ment and got not even 1 apology from them. The place is being ran by teenagers it's a shocking. I definatly wont ever be back ! Ginos use to be the best chippy at the very start when there was adults working in there.

Used to really enjoy eating here, especially considering my partner is Gluten Free and they had an excellent Gluten Free menu. However as the past few months have gone on, it is noticeable that standards have slipped and the service is really now poor. I went during the week at 20:40, despite being open until 9pm being told no food other than chips was available. Also, everytime we have visited their GF selection has been getting smaller and smaller. Tonight the staff were particularly unhelpful, saying most of the GF menu is being discontinued and nothing but sausage or fish available. If things are not available it shouldn’t be advertised as it just leads to disappointment. The staff’s education on GF also seems to have gone completely too. Will not be back, extremely disappointed.

10 months ago, when I had just moved to Largs, I left a 5 star review for this fryer. It was excellent. However, now, I cannot do so. My past two fish suppers, delivered to my home, have been unsatisfactory. Firstly, in December, it took an exceptionally long time to be delivered, and was barely lukewarm. Last night (28th January, 2022), the delivery was reasonably prompt, but the fish supper was barely edible. The chips were like leather, stuck hard together in clumps, and very discoloured when compared to what I would normally receive. They weren't even tasty. The batter on the fish was solid, unpleasant and, again, discoloured from the norm. The fish within the batter was bone dry. Had this fish supper been sitting for a long time, then reheated, prior to going out for delivery, or was it very overcooked? Whatever the reason, my opinion regarding this fryer has changed very negatively. It is disappointing to note that standards are indeed falling, and also disappointing to see my opinion reflected in other recent reviews. This is not a one-off. I will be looking elsewhere for my next fish supper.

This is the best chippy in largs. Very friendly staff. They do vegetarian meals

The tastiest fish supper i have had in years

Went all the way from Kilmarnock to try this famous Gluten free chippy as the ones in Kilmarnock don't care, Staff were lovely so helpful, was all cooked fresh and the crispness of the batter was worth the wait, Only thing negative, the portions were to big 😂😂.... Joke obviously

Really disappointing meal. Both of our curry sauce pots were only one-third full, the chips were overcooked, and the fish was swimming in grease. There was also a sandy, gritty substance on some of the chips. Overall, a poor meal and I won't be buying from here again.

They had a lot of phone in orders to deal with but around 25 minutes to wait for a walk in order is to long . Fish good but very small compared to other chip shops not good value for money. I doubt if I will return.

I have been a few times and I can say that yes it's a good place to get a fish and chips. But not tonight. Had to wait 15 minutes before I saw them cooking the fish. And I did say is that you just cooking it after all this time waiting. And when they did get around to servicing it I did get a sorry for the wait which was around 30min in all only to find the chips like the photo you see. So no not good for tonight.

Used to love ginos but has went down hill fast. Food came cold. Chips taste like soft cardboard. Items in the order have been forgotten on 2 occasions now. Waste of money as it went in the bin. Sorry won't be back

An amazing choice on the menu, food was freshly cooked and chips were delicious. Just as tasty but far cheaper and better value than some of the other places in town.

We had 2 great meals tonight which were very freshly cooked, we watched them being cooked through the window as you have to wait outside for the order. I have had issues in the past with the wait as it does get very busy but that is because it is so good and great value for money. Fantastic choice of menu highly recommended just prepare to wait as they do telephone and deliveries as well.

Would love to give them a 5 star rating, but always an issue with the order. A part of this is how busy they are, the other part is maybe process needs assessed. Great range of grub for a chippy, deserts too and gluten free. Definitely worth a visit and close to the train station if heading home.

It was all cold and disgusting one sausage in a single sausage 2 in a sausage supper with chips! Fish was cold and awful, chips were cold we will not be returning. Cooked to order my backside!!!

Absolutely brilliant, we loved our first visit this evening. It's great value, with everything freshly prepared and best of all, it's a Gluten Free haven! Excellent and large menu choice for GF customers, and also for Vegans. We'll definitely be regular customers now.

Great grub and they do vegan cuisine for my daughter 😁

Great vegan options however no ability to properly execute them. Also, there were a lot of derogatory comments and complaining about the fact that we had ordered vegan options - do not offer them if your not capable. The waiting time was shocking. We Ordered on just eat so that it would be ready for coming over from Millport and still we waited 45 mins in addition to the 20 it took us to get over and parked. Overall potential but needs a lot of work.

Gino's Fryer is the best chippie in Scotland! Who says? I do! Every time I get to fly home to Scotland, I anticipate visiting Largs, if only to enjoy a scotch pie supper before heading to Nardini's for ice cream. The french fries are amazing and usually served nuclear hot, with lots of salt, just the way I like them!

Bought 2 large fish and chips and I wasn't disappointed. As it was busy the owner even added a small bit of fish too each. Chips and fish were lively, would definitely recommend.

The best gluten free fish and chips… ever! Have had many offerings from lots of different places, this one wins hands down! Had the GF battered haddock, big portion, not too much batter, nice and crispy too. Visiting the area, stayed a little too far for delivery so drove in to collect order. Franca was extremely helpful and polite, nothing was too much trouble. Only waited 5 mins for the order, but noticed it was getting really busy with the orders coming through online so they were having to turn off the system to keep up with demand. So it’s great to know it’s busy and popular. Will be trying their GF pasta dish later on in the week.

Fish was really good but chips are the worst I ever tried

The food was ok, but the wait was about 30 minutes and when we got home we found that the order was wrong: we were missing a portion of chips and there was no tartare sauce, no mushy peas or lemon wedges as we were promised. Disappointing.

Lots of vegan options but the chips were over done

Great chippy with really varied vegan options

Food all cooked fresh when u order, but sometimes u mite wait a while as its always busy coz its food is nice

I can see why this place is popular, as the fish & chips I had yesterday were excellent, with two pieces of perfectly fried fish and very decent chips. Two niggles though… was that orders coming in by phone or online seemed to be prioritised over those queuing in person, hopefully I'm wrong though! The other was that afterwards we noticed that tartare sauce and mushy peas should have been included, and weren’t, and obviously too late to go back!

Fantastic chippy! Good prices and the food is amazing.

5 stars for it's extensive Vegan menu options. Opted for the vegan haggis fritters & sausages but could have had black pudding, crab cakes and so on. A gem of a chippy 👍

After hearing amazing reviews of this place we decided to visit after fab day out at Millport and Largs. Ordered two items from vegan menu along with other family non vegan dishes, which offered great options and we were told wait was 15mins. 40 mins later approached the shop front to absolute chaos behind the counter, flustered staff, faces like thunder unable to communicate between themselves. Asked how long our food would be and told another few minutes. Watched the staff struggle to cope despite only 4/5 customers waiting for food. (Obviously dealing with justeat orders first), still taking walk in customers, and unable to cope. Finally got our food over an hour later, and disappointed to find one vegan and one meat. Returned to shop to rude assistants stating that’s what was ordered and written down. Another customer who was complaining about their wait also, (could clearly see her order sat on top of glass front for 10mins) informed the young staff that being vegan she was pretty sure I would order meat! So the “mix up” transpired that one of the vegan options ordered was no longer on the menu??? When the older gent who seemed flustered doing all the cooking asked what had happened and after told the situation stated “people really starting to p*ss me off”. Nice! Waited another 15mins on new order and once received left to join rest of family to eat our dishes, one of which was burnt to a crisp the others obviously cold after waiting for me. So disappointed, definitely not worth the wait or rudeness. Shame.

Terrible service tasteless fish chips ok won't be back

Fabulous service, the staff are so friendly & helpful. They have an amazing vegan menu, the food was delicious & I can't wait to go back, best chippy I have ever been to.

So glad to have found this place. Everything you could normally get at a chippy and more could be got as a vegan friendly or gluten free option. Everything is cooked to order so a 20 min wait but well worth it. We had fish and a vegan burger as well as a great choice of desserts, all were great and reasonably priced. Looking forward to going back and trying more things on the menu.

Well what a day this weather is like being on holiday sadly the food was not to standard nor was the attitude being greeted with 2 young girls and a young boy when I had ordered my dinner being fish supper and a single fish 2 cans of coke to which when I picked up my dinner after I had asked for 2 cans of coke to ask are the cold no they're in a stock room hot when there was plenty space in fridge then after I asked why they not in fridge the reply I got was you dint need to buy them yet I has already paid then after I had left with my dinner it was the worst fish n chips I have ever has very greasy very poor attitude from staff as I am a resident in largs not very good when you have more chip shops to compete against

Actually embarrassing - asked for a £2 refund. Five folk behind the counter (all late teens early 20s) and none capable of cooking the chippie basic of... Chips. Overall they were absolutely perfect - problem was it was half that were so undercooked and stone cold they fell apart and the other half overcooked and tough but at least kinda hot. No apology, just a shrug and 'do you want to wait five minutes while we cook some fresh' - maybe when delivered the hot ones heat the cold ones up? 🤔

I don't go to Ayrshire chip shops with high hopes but credit where its due. We gave Gino's a chance and got lovely haddock suppers made with proper good quality fresh fish. and not the all-too-common naff frozen muck i had been expecting. Decent chips, not excessively greasy. And very pleasant service from the staff . It was every bit as good as the fish out of the fancy place on the seafront except with better chips and considerably cheaper. i was genuinely taken aback by the quality of fish, in fact i think i might be in shock ! Well done Gino's you have restored my faith in the humble fish supper - we certainly will be back and will recommend to friends visiting Largs.

Been coming to this place for over 15 years before it was ginos. So disappointed now.Wait time too long considering it wasnt busy and it was only 1 supper ordered. Only ordered a fish supper- told at the counter the fish was ready to go. Stood out outside for 25 mins to then be called from the inside asking if we were waiting? then asked us what the order was again. Fish supper was freezing and was just basically batter. Definitely wont be back after all these years. So disappointing.

Fabulous fish supper. You get two battered fish, lots of chips and a wedge of lemon to flavour the fish with. Delicious!

Really good. Good portion size. Recommended

We were drawn by the prominence of the Vegan menu in the window, and then impressed by the variety of items on offer. I'm usually pleased to get a vegan sausage supper. I've often thought that having a vegan range shows that while still being...

I was the only customer on a Wednesday night, ordered a special fish supper and was told 5 to 10 minutes , the girls and presumably the delivery guys were all in the back shop having a great old karaoke night to them selves. After...
