Visited long before closing time. Very disappointed as the chips were cold which there is no excuse for. Fish was decent but not great waiting on them to make it no reason for it to be lukewarm. Won’t be back £10 standard supper rip off for what I got

Been going here about once a month for maybe 10 years but noticed last couple of times the quality was really poor. 4 standard haddock suppers, chips where pale and bland but the fish was just awful on all 4 suppers. Fish was as thin as a mcCoy crisp and just all batter, whatever the weight of the haddock before it’s about half now and not worth any money at all. Place has seemingly been bought over and quality has hit the floor. Won’t be back again, yes we only spend about £50 a month normally in here but that’s every month for 10 years. Owners are not stupid they are obviously greatly reducing the quality of the products whist increasing their prices. Very good way to ruin your business. Shocking shocking quality and won’t be back

Awful! We order 2 meals one with mince pie and chips and other with chicken fillets and chips! The pie wasnt very good but the chicken was dreadful, when i bit into it it looked black almost like mouldy and tasted dreadful, 24 hours later and i could not stop being sick and the other end. I put it down to the chicken for all i ate if it! Shame as this used to be a great chipper

Jumbos seems to have been taken over by a new owner and it’s quite disappointing what they have done, menu changes so you can’t get suppers, prices increased and food quality decreased. Chips always seem to be under cooked and sometimes the batter is aswell. It seems they are just taking advantage of the fact that people in culter don’t have another chipper close and know that they will get business regardless. Jumbos is just a hit or a miss now :(

Hadn't been for a while, as we had noticed the quality had slipped. Decided to try it again and can honestly say that it was one of the best fish suppers I've ever had! The haddock was fresh and firm, the batter light and crispy and the chips (twice cooked?) were fluffy and crispy!

I presume Jumbos trades on passing and tourist custom rather that repeat business, being located on the Royal Deeside. That would explain why they can't be bothered and happy to serve old crusty overcooked fish and dry chips. Peas are out of a fridge and re reheated in a microwave oven on oder. It had disaster written all over it whilst ordering food, and we should have left there and then...but we didn't. Awful. Genuinely the worst fish and fish I have ever eaten. Not recommended.

have had a number visits to the local chipper jumbos in peterculter and had varied results on the quality of the frying/cooking, for myself it is always a fish supper and found on many occasion the fish is overcooked the tail end especially have asked for a lighter batter as in taking out of the fryer earlier last night 14/11/20 was the worst, 1 jumbo haddock supper and 1 standard supper the standard was dissipated the jumbo was so dry and batter was well overcooked order total £17 + this review as said above is over a number of visits .. my advice is if you own a fish and chip shop invest in employing a fryer who knows his or her stuff ..1 lost customer

He sido cliente de Jumbo's durante años, disfruto de sus cenas de pescado y las recomiendo a mis amigos.Anoche hice un pedido familiar y me dijeron que debía estar allí hasta las 6 pm para recogerlo. Como no se permite la entrada de personas a las instalaciones, me dijeron que tenía que esperar afuera y un miembro del personal me llevaría mi pedido. En estos tiempos de Covid - 19 eso es totalmente aceptable y estoy bien con eso, de hecho lo prefiero.Sin embargo, llegué temprano y el lugar está lleno de gente, muchos hogares diferentes, todos mezclados sin distanciamiento. Decidí obedecer las reglas incluso si su personal no se molesta en hacerlas cumplir y esperar afuera. Sin embargo, era obvio que yo era un idiota porque la gente que pasaba se paseaba dentro y hacía pedidos y tenía la comida muy por delante de mí. El personal me lanzó una mirada ocasional como "¿para qué está merodeando por la puerta?" Después de 15 minutos de estar de pie obedeciendo sus propias reglas, me di por vencido y me fui.¿Cuál es el sentido de tener covid - 19 reglas, decirme las reglas por teléfono si no las hace cumplir adentro y por qué no enviar a un miembro del personal a preguntarme mi nombre para que pueda obtener mi pedido?Muy decepcionante, todos estábamos ansiosos por sus cenas de pescado.

A fines de noviembre, estábamos pasando Jumbos cuando nos detuvimos para cenar Gammon Steak, pero nuestra suerte se había agotado y habíamos terminado su suministro ese día, así que optamos por dos cenas de pescado Haddock. No me decepcionó. El pescado era blanco por dentro y tenía una deliciosa masa crujiente, las papas fritas nos encantaban lo que deberían ser y ambas estaban muy calientes. La única queja es que no obtuvimos o Gammon Steaks, no se preocupe, siempre hay la próxima vez. Así que no fuimos a casa hambrientos.

After several days of disappointing fare in Aberdeen, I gave Jumbo Fish and Chips a try. I was not disappointed! The fish was excellent, tender, tasty ands crispy, and thch chips were cooked to perfection. My only complaint was that I had too many chips and couldn't finish them (much to my disappointment)! I'll just have to get used to eating bigger portions before I go back the next time!

As visitors to Scotland from New Zealand we relied on recommendation from locals. Our son's father in law took us to Jumbo's for fish and chips to takeaway. He ordered a fish meal for me - a huge piece of fish and enough chips to feed a family - I failed to finish it all! He and his wife shared one of these dinners - there was certainly enough for two! The fish was well cooked and chips very good. Service was very friendly and they even had a brief chat while serving it all up - recommended

I was driving out to Midmar to visit friends on Friday evening and stopped by Jumbos to pick up dinner for everyone. I arrived at 6.03pm (time was on the receipt), ordered and took a seat. After a while I realised I'd been sitting there ages and people who had come in after me were getting their food. It had been about 25 minutes so I asked the staff who I heard say 'Oh dear' - they had obviously lost our order/forgotten about us. No 'sorry' or 'here is a free portion of chips' or anything at all in way of an apology. Wasn't impressed at all. HOWEVER............lucky for them....their food was sensational! I am not a huge lover of chippers generally - I am not fond of overly greasy food. However this food was just delicious - crisp batter, fresh fish, big meaty sausages....and huge portions too! No excess grease either. Totally the best chipper I can remember eating in a very long time. It would have been a 5/5 excellent score had it not been for the long wait and lack of apology. But to be fair that poor service was saved especially for me - all the other customers seemed to get their food in super quick time.So to conclude - should you go here? YES. IT IS DELICIOUS. I will go again for sure, but next time I will be more aware of people that come in after me. And as soon as one of them gets their food before me, I will start screaming wildly.

The staff were liars. I was called forward to get my order but the fish was given to another customer who was obviously a regular. I was told they had run out of chips and would have to wait. Customers were continued to be served.....must be magical chips. When I questioned this it was then I was told had been given to this other customer. No apology, no question of remorse. The time it takes to cook a jumbo haddock and the resolve of mistake meant I was standing in this shop for close to an hour. Do not make plans for the evening if getting a take away here. The shame is this used to be a great takeaway, now it is just an expensive place run by uncaring staff. When I tried to complain to the manager he just said well you have it now....go. They had obviously tried to get me away as fish was not fully cooked. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

This spotlessly clean chinese owned fish and chip shop can be relied upon to deliver perfectly cooked haddock and chips time after time. It is friendly, helpful and cooks everything from scratch. The fish is served in cardboard boxes with a greaseproof lining which means it stays hot . They have many other deep fried options and also oven baked pizza but it is for their fish that they really excel.
