Average Fish and Chips, batter was soggy fish luke warm. Claims to have 10% discount for cash ordered 2 fish suppers and a gravy AND because of gravy told that 10% discount didn't apply !!!!! IF YOU'RE OFFERING DISCOUNTS THEN HONOUR them!!!! UDPATE to owners reply - How can an on line order be CASH??????? Check your website the only option for 10% discount is the only entry that doesn't have a link to ordering! My wife is not a liar, clearly jigerry pokery going on here and we're not the ones being dishonest in an attempt to clear our name!!!!! Strange how you only take umbridge at the issue around the 10% discount and not that your Fish and Chips are average and soggy.

Had to wait over 30mins for food but it was fairly quiet. It is extremely overpriced for a full pizza crunch £11.00??

I believe this is the place I visited in November 1986 when my US SUB docked at “Holy Loch” which I understand to be Faslane . The most delicious Fish N Chips, with salt n malt(vinegar) wrapped in newsprint,,,,,!!!! Ffwd to Feb 1993, I attempted to recreate the fish chips experienced…… my lovey was recovering from knee surgery and I was helping with house and childcare, long story short, the kitchen was literally in flames before the haddock made it in the oil!!!

We were just visiting the area and fancied some fish and chips by the waterfront. The girl who served us was polite and I liked having an extra piece of fish as a choice. I really enjoyed the food and brought back some childhood nostalgia, really one of the best chippies I've had in a long time.

We had driven all the way out too Inverary but the price was outrageous out there so we drove back to Helensburgh and glad we found this wee gem of a chip shop and myself, my wife and kids loved every bite. Definitely be back next time we're passing through!

Fish fryer was rude to customers who asked how long they needed to wait. Two young woman serving were embarrassed and nerves to talk to him and could see they felt awkward. Not a nice atmosphere for these young woman to work in.

This chip shop is an original feature in Helensburgh and is, in my opinion, easily, one of the best chip shops in Scotland. It's Italian owner prides himself in many years of experience in producing the most delicious food. The suppers are exactly as tasty as I remember 42 years ago when I was a child of 10 year old. Chips still done in dripping!! Stepping into the shop is like stepping back in time. Right on the seafront!! Reasonably priced and superb beyond belief!! I recommend!!

Fish chips shop with no fish. Ok understand, it was past 8pm and may be a busy day but while long waiting for our just chips, saw to prep fish for someone else(well what ever). Waited so long to get a chips, been said sorry i forgot you and have only last regular portion. So waited for next round. Got regular anyway. Didnt have a power to argue. Paid £3.80 for large. Got regular, or if that was a large cant imagine what size is regular. "For that money!! Never more" Avoid.

They only serve "white fish", I. E. they can't tell you if it's cod, haddock or River cobbler. Both the chips and the fish tasted quite greasy, though it was totally edible.

Thinking back on my time from 1987 to 1992 as a young man in the US Navy living in Helensburgh. I still think fondly of the best pizza I've ever had to this day that Kay and Lido would cook. My dinner table was the green trash can just out in front of Lido's. Had pizza all over the world and Lido's was always the best. Thanks for the memories...

We moved up here 10 weeks ago and I really can’t describe how utterly brilliant this place and all who work here are definitely the most welcoming and attentive to our needs. We have nearly always had the haggis supper and we phone the order through.... it’s always on time and utterly delicious. We have also had the sausage supper and the deep fried Cadbury cream egg and last night we had the fish supper. Now I’m a Cornish lass and missing her fish and chips I can add to the record that last nights fish and chips made my Cornish heart leap. Perfect and thank you so much. The lad behind the till ( who nearly gave me a pizza as we were chatting about the amazing qualities of the home made pizzas) .... the way you apologised because you had to take a phone order was extremely polite and great customer care. Thank you for all you all do .... cindy / frank

Worse chip shop I’ve ever bin to, how this place is busy is beyond believe. Chips are under cooked everytime I’ve bin and the batter on anything falls away when you pull the paper away from your meal. Bin three time all in all and it’s worse everytime.Absolute disgrace, vile, horrible and that’s being nice

Sausage supper, sausage was nice and tasty. However chips are woefully terrible. Over cooked and left in the drain pan. Soft soggy and not good. They think by giving you a big portion it will be ok. No smaller and finish frying them off to order.

I don't live near to this chip shop, but pass loads of others to come here.Lovely quality fish, freshly cooked and great chips. It's busy 'cause it's really good, and they keep the orders flowing, getting them out asap when ready. And they're well organised at that too. 1 piece of fish is a very good size ( a bit big for me, but I try my best ) and I can't imagine who would need 2 in a fish supper.

I go here from time to time if the ques are too long in the other chip shops, the food is ok but the issue is with the ordering of food and lack of waiting space, if any more than 5 people are in at once it all becomes a nightmare, customers seem to stand anywhere, nobody knows whos orderd and whos not, the staff often forget who is next and people jump the que down to sheer confusion. ......if it's quiet its worth poping in.....if its busy stay well away

My son requested a chippy for his birthday dinner and as a normal parent who does not the hassle I agreed. Upon waiting some 15 mins for the fish to be ready then the chips to be ready I eventually left the chip shop and proceeded home only to find out that for the princely sum of £6:20 per supper it was certainly lacking chips, in their defence the supper did come with 2 fish and were delicious. My request to them is this- just add another half scoop of chips and you will have the ideal fish supper!

Ordered a single fish and a fish supper from this takeaway. Was charged almost the same as two fish suppers - £11 To £12.40 Fish was lovely but the fish supper had two fish and a few chips, while the single fish had two fish. We really wanted a single fish and a fish supper with a proper portion of chips. The lady before us had a huge portion of chips with both fish suppers so don't know why they get it so wrong.

My partner ordered a chicken supper. Was told it would be a 10 minute wait for chicken. She nipped round to Tesco and on returning was told another 5 mins. When the chicken was eventually ready they gave another customer who had just walked in the last of the chips so had to wait another near 10 mins for more chips. Could they not have given her the chicken and the chips and let the customer who had just walked in the extra wait. The food was not bad when she eventually got it. Chicken a bit dry but chips a million times better than The Wee Kelpie chippy along the road. I have had some nice fish suppers from The Lido in the past and think it really is hit or miss.
