Lochside Quality fish & Chips in Dumfries & Galloway

Food is sort of okay if you like fry rubbish price's are a rip off I definitely won't be buying from there again

Very good chip shop,freshly cooked ,the service from the girls was second to none always a smile . This chippy is back on top with very competitive prices and it's delicious we will definitely be back....TOP CHIPPY 👌.

under cooked and overpriced chips.

We all enjoyed everything we got - hot rolls, cold rolls & suppers, it was all very fresh. Weekend staff are great, much more pleasant & the food is always great. Service is second to none.

Good quality food with friendly service

My friend recommended this chippy to us and I'm very happy that they did. Came in for fish suppers for my family and I and we all absolutely loved them. They're freshly fried to order and done to perfection. Prices were good considering some ive seen in other places. Service from all the polite young girls was amazing, I have to add extra credit to the lovely girl who was quickly taking orders, getting them in and taking money for the orders without any hassle or mistakes from what I had seen even when she had to deal with the some very and unreasonably rude customers that came in, kept a smile on her face and spoke to them just as politely as she did to everyone else!! My family and I will certainly be back again

Nice people, but the fish and chips had a nasty smell of very old cooking fat / oil. I go elsewhere now as a result.

Best fish and chips north of Yorkshire. Good portion all round delicious. Nice friendly owner

The food was so good and the people working there are amazing. They also have lunch deals on from 12 till 2 if I remember correctly. Would go again.

Bought chips not much served up for price would of spent more if a proper amount was served maybe it was because I was English or something.

Lochside Chippy has been there forever and long may you continue. Despite a lengthy queue, the staff had things well under control.

Visited this week as was passing Wee bit expensive menu The deli counter looks quite good. We couldnt quite believe a chip shop that does not serve brown sauce in any way,as we were abruptly informed They sell sachets of ketchup,mayonnaise,and tartar sauce..very strange...food prepared fresh.😏

Nothing wrong with the food at all but the woman with the blond hair who works mornings is the most rude, ignorant and miserable person I have ever seen in catering.

They put the chips on for each customer that orders, I was in a Que of 6 and took about 25mins for a roll&chips at 12.30 lunch time, slowest chip shop on the planet

Had a fish fish supper which was amazingly guid and tasty.

The staff were really friendly and the food was really nice. Particularly the cod. The portion of chips could have done to be a wee bit bigger.

A little disappointing. The ‘atmosphere’ is negatively affected by the perspex bandit (or more likely Covid) screens lining the counter. Not terribly welcoming. The ladies taking and preparing orders were cheerful and busily efficient but the food … well - fish, chips and peas was the order. Too many tasteless, soggy chips, a surprisingly large tub of mushy peas (which were OK) and a long piece of fish - the highlight, so to speak. Well, it was enclosed in batter which had a rather distressing shape, style and thickness or rather thin-ness. The fish was a measly size and cooked OK but the batter reminded me of Amazon packaging. A thin, brown envelope keeping the contents in place but surely not to be eaten. I tried a bit but it upheld my first impression - best put in the recycling. Other reviews variously speak well or don’t speak well of this establishment. I was passing through the area and am unlikely to return. It has an active local clientele who must enjoy their regular offerings. My review is ‘addressed’ to the fish fryer who could just up his game a bit for the benefit of all.

Came across this chippy on our way home to Newcastle. Shop looked very clean and food was cooked fresh to out order. The 2 lady’s working in the shop seemed lovely very chatty. We got battered haggis, chips curry sauce then a fish and it was beautiful. The first time we’ve had battered haggis and it was amazing! Definitely the best chippy we have been to in a long time. Will definitely try again if we are ever in the area thank you x

Fish and chips were amazing. Recommended the garlic dip, best I've tasted. Friendly staff and quick service

It really has gone downhill. Absolute joke to pay £7 for a sausage supper and roll for a lesser standard of food. Chips are soggy and vile, dread to think they have been reheated like previous reviews. We wont be back.

Ordered simple breakfast roll with two people in front of me . 8 people later still waiting after a wee chat between the women they chucked my egg on as they obviously forgot . Must point out a local ordered and collected 2 breakfast rolls after I ordered mine.

This is the second time i have bought from this fish and chip shop. Today the 30th of May i asked if the chips were fresh and i was told yes. I went home to open a large portion of chip(Rip off) and they were reheated chips...again. I will never ever use the chip shop again. If I could give zero stars I would. AVOID.

This used to be my favourite chippy but the past 3 times have been disappointing. Got chips that weren't even cooked properly. The past 2 times the chips have been awful like they've been reheated. This chippy has really went downhill .

110% recommended, ie deli salad bar and fried suppers are lovely especially when owner does frying

Delicious fish and chips. Clean organised environment. Impressive menu for a small fish and chip/cafe takeaway. We are pleased we stopped rather than the McDonalds opposite.

So went to this chippy which I normally love. At 8.05pm to be told they are closed,! The sign says close at 8.30pm I said this but was told no they took there last order. I asked can you not pop a couple more fish and chips on. The young lass said no took the last order. VERY dissatisfied no wonder MacDonald is busy when they close 25 mins before the actual time it says on the sign

Foods nice, other than that the large lady behind the counter, very rude to me. Got given the wrong food after mishearing what one of the staff called out and the young lass looked at me and my girlfriend and said that this order was ours… we went to walk out noticed an item that wasn’t ours so went back handed it to the young girl. The larger lady came over with attitude which I felt was taken out on us. She called out to me soon after and asked me if I wanted salt and vinegar which I didn’t hear she then got frustrated with me and repeated it but with attitude again. Safe to say if she didn’t have that mask on she might have been easier to understand, I get masks are health and safety but it was difficult to hear what some of the staff were saying.

Fantastic fish & chips cooked to order. Lovely crispy battery cooked to perfection. Good size portions and not greasy. Never had a less than perfect order. Staff are always friendly & efficient

Bit expensive for take out lunch for a family

I am not in dumfries much but Come from lochside. I always look forward to a fish supper when visiting 😋

My mum ordered me a unbattered sausage and chips and they gave a battered and refused to change it to a unbattered sausage and denyed what she ordered me when I was there to hear it disgusting behaviour and makes sure I. Pay before giving the food so u can’t get money back don’t go here.

Lush food and great employees that are interactive.

Not the best fish supper, the batter was all soggy, the fish was extremely thin you could see the batter through it and the chips looked anaemic. Disappointing

I'll never be back was miles over priced, rubbish service and generally not very good food, used to be the best chippy in town

Breaded fish supper is top tier, I have worked all over the UK and I have certainly never had a better breaded fish supper.

Never again, my wife was going to the Palmerston cafe for a takeaway and foolishly listened to her work mates who told her to try here. The result is 3/4 of a fish, yes a 1/4 of it is missing and to add insult to injury there is dried fruit in the curry sauce, absolutely vile take away.........NEVER AGAIN>

Love the fish and chips, always fresh. Great team work with the staff, well organised, very efficient.

Wasn't keen on macaroni, wasn't very saucy. As always though everything else was great!

Best fish and chips! Always hot and fresh. Nice staff too.

Busy busy but fresh produce cooked well

Food is delicious and always fresh. Great customer service, very friendly

Good fish and chips especially when you get a piece and a half . Pleasant staff

Always been a favourite place to visit. Nice large piece of Fish. Cooked to perfection. Will I visit again. YES.

Pricey ! £4:10 for a large chips ( it's really not that large ) is ridiculous £2:10 for a standard chips which equates to one scoop. The food is of reasonable quality the cooking everything to order is tedious waiting 15 mins for a battered sausage and chips takes the Mick.

Asked as to why I was exempt from wearing a masks in front of a shop full of people. Very unprofessional, why should I explain my medical records to half the town?

A great fish supper and super quick service when I called my order in before setting off.

Excellent service with a smile back up by good quality fish and chips.

YUM!! Best fish & chips in a long time...

Great selection of food on the menu, good prices and open before every other chippie in the South West of Scotland!

Good food, good staff will be back again

Great Chips,real chips, lovely big fat Battered Sausage full of calories lovely just what the doctor, fantastic.l will be back.xx

Staff are nice and friendly. Super fresh rolls in the morning and fresh hot fish suppers at night. Pizza is also really good.

Best fish n chip shop ever owners Joanne & Raymond are lovely and always chat and all the girls☺️ Are lovely as well! Highly recommend.

pleasant place to shop for your takeaway

Not up to the usual high Dumfries standard

Called in for fish and chips. Excellent food freshly cooked to order and great, friendly service from all the staff

Alright food, good costomer service

Best fish and chips in Dumfries

Excellent fish and chips , none better

One of the best chicken breast suppers I've had in a long time. Highly recommended

Good food and probably the best selection of ice cream in town

Absolutely beautiful fish supper and decent portion too ,just lovely ,beautiful batter, on the fish ,one of the best fish supper i have had in a longggg time ,pleasant staff and service 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Staff were really nice and chips were nice.

Don't buy a Burger absolutely cheap nasty burger no need,bacon egg and scone was good though.

Over 9 quid for 2 supposed to be large bags of chips and a sauce. Chips were lovely ,not a huge portion but not worth the money paid.

Efficient, safe and friendly service 👍😀

Just had a delivery took only 20 minutes and it was amazing haven't had anything from here in years too quality fish supper will be ordering again 20/12/2020

Top notch grub, have to mention the Pizzas and Panzanella 👍👍

Best fishcakes in town. Pizzas are excellent as well. Staff are effiecent and pleasant. Would recommend our local.

Lovely fish and chips as usual but won’t use telephone and delivery again - over and hour and a half 😭

Fish was lovely and crispy partner had haggis said it was awfy good .. xx we be back for sure...

Curry sauce was watery and disgusting. Batter was raw and undercooked, sausage didn't taste nice. Chips were soggy and greasy. Never going there again.

Good fish supper, portion size was good, nice batter on fish and not greasy, chips were very good. Nice clean shop and staff were very friendly, even got a thank you from the fryer on the way out 😀 Will definitely visit again.

Great food great price great service after a 6 hour drive:-)

This place has been around for "yonks", been coming here since I was a young lad and I have never been disappointed. From their hot and cold filled rolls in the morning to their smashing suppers during the day. Even the new italian style pizzas and pizza oven is a spot on addition with a glass screen covering the display of all the various pizza toppings so you can see your pizza made in real time. The staff have always been friendly and service is mostly speedy, the shop itself is furnished cleanly and I couldn't recommend a chippy more.

Phone a got a delivery piping hot and bang on time best chip shop in Dumfries

Disappointing chip but. Chips were underdone and very greasy. The bread wasn't as soft bun as expected in a chippy.

Stopped off after a visit to Dumfries and glad we did. By far the best fish supper we have ever had. Chips cooked to perfection and the batter on the fish is delicious and crispy. Everything cooked to order and served piping hot. Finished off nicely with small tub of Equi's ice cream. The shop is immaculate. The staff are friendly and hard working. Folk going to and coming from Southerness Holiday Park often pay a visit and we can see why. Cannot recommend highly enough. Will definitely return.

First class food served by very friendly helpful staff

Excellent , great service , great food, fair prices, good portions.

Good honest fish and chips cooked to perfection

Yes it was lovely haggis supper

Friendly staff, rolls and pizzas are delicious... Not had a fish supper my mum has and she loved it too

Not great, food nothing special and prices about normal so ok if desperate but given the choice I would go elsewhere

Amazing staff, and gorgeous food made to order not sitting in there own greese.

Fish and chips were brilliant, as was haggis and chips. Very fast, good portions and very friendly staff!

Really good fish supper, second to none. 😁🐠😄

Well over priced, abysmal portion size, and poor quality, the chips were soggy and the sausage was vile overcooked and tough

Returned again to try the pizza can not recommend it enough! Special fish is out of this world chips cooked to perfection.

Best traditional chippy , takeaway in Dumfries. Fish and chips to die for.

Panzalle is amazing. Nicely cooked. Friendly staff and prompt service.

Slow service, overcooked fish. A big no from me.

Amazing fish and chips and superb quality and portion size!!!! A return holiday visit for us and we will be back next time in Dumfries.
