Macari's Fish and Chip Shop in Highland

The one night we had planned to get a fish supper. This place was closed. Perhaps they need to update their opening hours. Given that most people plan a takeaway as a treat. Very frustrating. Great for sammys chip shop though. Who by the way, do great food and have accurate opening hours.

Went on their eatzy website to order food showed it was online placed my order the bank took the money found out the shop wasn't even open that day been trying to get my money back from them called 3 times left messages on Facebook messenger even went to shop got told to come in the shop and it would get sorted when we turned up the guy said it was the first he heard of it kept getting fobbed of with the manager is not in if you leave ur number we will get it sorted load of bs I left my number still waiting been a week now and still not heard anything terrible customer service I don't even want the money back now I won't be ordering from them again

This chip shop did manage to sell excellent ice cream but only in a tub, if they served it in a waffle cone we would have given a higher rating. Unfortunately the chips served had obviously been there a while, they were dry and tasted awful. We were hungry and just ate them. Would not recommend

We were late coming off the Jacobite express and all restaurants had large queues outside we thought why not get a chippy as we were hungry we decided to get a haggis supper and a black pudding supper and half each, but we were bitterly disappointed with the so called “Stornaway haggis “ and the so called “Stornaway black pudding” the haggis had no taste and no texture it was like mush with no oatmeal the black pudding had a bit of taste but still not worth the £16 paid for the 2 suppers the chips were mostly tiny wee crunchy chips cut too small so very hard not a good experience at all would never use again.

The fish and chips were tasty but it seems they prefer you not dine in. They only have 3 tables. When our food was ready they called us and handed us the boxes. When I asked for ketchup and tartar sauce I was told it would be 40 pence per package It struck me funny that that they had a shelf crammed with bottles of ketchup yet you had to pay extra for it We asked where their rest rooms were and were told they don't have one but we could go and use the ones at other restaurants or go down the street. They do not seem to be geared to tourists.

Very nice fish and chips, maybe a little greasy but the fish was so fresh and lovely. I would go back if I return to Fort William. The price was pretty good as well.

Good value and freshly cooked food. 2 battered sausage and chips for around 8 pounds . Batter was really nice and crunchy - chips were cooked nice too !! Defo go here again !

We got a take-away here after going up Ben Nevis and, with a coeliac in the family, it was amazing to find a chippy that did gluten-free. Delicious too!

Fantastic fast food, brilliant service ftom Bethany, quick witted, food and drink priced as you'd expect You can sit in there's maybe 3 tables spread out I had the Battered Burger with chips and a tub of curry sauce. Very tasty. Don't just take my word for it, try today

Quick and easy. We had their fish and chips and were very pleased. Generous serving too. Good menu selections.

Fresh fish nice chips great service. Busy shop, ordered 2 x haddock and chips waited around 5 minutes freshly cooked great job

Had a Thursday night takeaway...curry sauce way to spicy ..adults chicken nuggets were so dry best thing was the chips

Can’t comment on food as never received ordered on just eat estimated arrival was 2 hours from first order they said tried to deliver a hour before estimated time and phone but no phone calls received plus left specfic instructions of our pitch number as was on a camping campsite so wanted delivered straight to pitch.complained to customer service but very obnoxious and not very helpful.obviously driver never read instructions as required so maybe he/she could review food and give a rating.

Bought one fish supper and one white pudding supper. My wife said the fish supper was ok (£10) but the white pudding was truly awful. When I squeezed it the grease poured out. Low quality and soaked in grease. I’ve had great white puddings (Edinburgh) and not so good white puddings (Fife) but this was the worst I’ve had. I couldn’t eat them. Total cost two suppers with two cans of juice £20.

As good as it gets. Lovely haddock and chips. Quick service. Can not fault at all. Huge servings. Highly recommended.

This was really the best fish and chips we eat on our 14 day round trip. Crunchy and hot baked, well spiced, not too salty and huge. Also the fries and the service were tip top.

The haggis was tasteless and claggy, the scampi needed an oil change, possibly the worst haggis we've ever had, looking forward to West Lothian haggis suppers in a few days. Miserable slow staff that prioritised delivery over customers who actually got off their arses and...

Greasy, thin fish all batter! Overpriced, caters for tourists who will only visit once- for good reason, small portions, not worth its current four star rating on trip advisor, save your money and stomach and go elsewhere! Worst fish and chips I’ve had in probably...

Over priced cod and chips, was extremely greasy, my chips at the bottom went soggy from all the grease leaking from My cod , on top of that, they charged £2:50 for a curry sauce!

I ordered 3 meals speaking to the cashier's right ear. She kept me waiting while she gossiped to a colleague, which continued throughout my order. Not a good start. I was a bit surprised at the prices, more than we normally pay. But, i figured...

Made the mistake of getting a haddock supper, big mistake! Haddock it was not, batter was awful and sadly more of it than fish ,chips ok. When we passed next morning you could hardly see the front door for filthy marks. Does no-one clean in...

Beautiful fresh fish cooked to order. Not cheap but worth every penny. Large portion fish and tasty chips. What more do you want!! Best I've tasted in years

Had a home delivery after a long trip. Fish suppers for both of us. Food was hot and really tasty. Desserts were fabulous. Delivery was quick and polite. Would certainly recommend this establishment.

I came approx Oct haggis supper had 2 day sick/diaro Tried same,,,, batter crap chips shrivelled/cold Defo not bac

My friends and I had fish and chips for supper after a hike. We did enjoy the food, and it can also get busy during peak hours. So maybe best to phone or phone in advance

Lovely food, lovely service. Very helpful team on the night we ordered from them - highly recommended if you’re in the area!

Always dubious about having a fish supper from else where especially when we come from Peterhead (Europe’s biggest fishing port) but honestly the quality of the fish was amazing as was the portion size. We used their delivery service as staying at the camp site...

Rude and unfriendly staff, kept us waiting outside for about 20 minutes for a portion of fish and chips. Seemed to value delivery drivers over customers - paying customers have to stand outside while delivery drivers can sit inside to wait. Food was good but...

After our booked restaurant was closed due to COVID-19, we were unable to get in anywhere else. So we headed for Macari's and were treated to the best scampi and chips I think we've ever had from a chip shop. The chips were the 'perfect...

Obviously very popular so we thought we’d try it out. Not disappointed and the service although hampered by COVID-19 rules was excellent.

I tried the Scampi, Cod and a Battered Sausage with chips (it was a long day climbing that mountain). Safe to say every part of this meal was spot on, chips had both Floppies and Crispies, Scampi was proper Chunky and the Sausage ohhhh the...

Ordered haddock and chips which was soaked in cooking oil, when pressing the batter the the oil was pooling on the top. Fish was brownish at the ends and had bones in it. Having had fish previously on this road trip this is very off...

Reviews were mixed for this place but it was getting on and we needed to feed the family so we decided to take a punt. The food was decidedly average and very expensive - £29 for fish and chips for us and some smaller options...

Very disappointing, turned up half an hour before their closing time, having walked a considerable distance to get there, to be told that they wouldn’t serve us as they were closed. No apology, just attitude. A bit poor considering their advertised opening hours. If there...

After reading some mixed reviews I thought I would give it a try driving through to to head to Glasgow and had fish and chips all round and utterly disappointed as the bones in the fish put me off and the batter was really soggy...

Like warm welcome from all the ladies working at the take away, fish batter not cooked properly and price was far over what we normally pay for three people to eat at a chippie! Burgers were nice, that was the only positive!

Order inside wait outside (at the moment). Very busy when we went on a Tuesday evening. Sat in the park area on the Parade (which is beautifully kept) to eat our delicious fish and chips. Good value for money. Shop looked nice and clean. Would...

very lovely fish and chips, w had a very nice meal after long walks , freshly cooked, nothing to fault well done

Very busy even on a Monday evening. Fish and chips very tasty but surprised with the prices which were of London levels. Had to wait outside to get order brought out due to social distancing. Staff very friendly and dealt with some quite difficult customers...

There was so much grease it was actually leaking out of the boxes that the fish suppers were in. This ended up all over my husbands trousers. At first the fish tasted okay and was nice and crispy, about half way through the sheer amount...

We purchased the munchie box and very much enjoyed it. Quick service and enjoyable food. Would recommend

Really disappointed with our takeaway tonight, both our suppers were swimming in grease, the batter was soggy and falling off the fish, the chips were inedible as the soggy fish was sat on the chips.

On a camping trip to Fort William and wanted to buy some fish and chips. Decided to buy the fish and chips from here. Waited half a hour for them outside as could not go in shop due to covid restrictions. When I did get...

Absolutely vile, sausage supper was absolutely soaked in grease there was even a pool of grease at the bottom of the dis, 2nd time it has happened now chucked straigh in the bin definitely won’t be going again

Food great,delivery shocking waiting over an hour to expect it to be told another 30 minutes and still waiting , happened a few times now, not happy

I visited last night to buy myself some warm food. I asked for a sausage and chips and got two jumbo sausages! More than I could possibly eat when I tried to point out that in the conversation I explicitly said one sausage and chips...

Chips are spot on, as well as their fish, battered burgers and battered jumbo sausages! Have been here two nights in a row - would highly recommend. Service is great!

We were staying at the Ben Nevis Holiday Park and fancied some fish in chips. We called them and they arranged delivery which was brilliant. Food was hot, tasty and portion sizes were huge. Delivered at time stated. Would definitely use Macaris again if in...

Had amazing monkfish cheeks and chips and mushy peas and hubbie had cod, chips, mushy pies and black pudding Got a delivery after a very bad experience at a certain pub in town The food at Macaris was fantastic and so tasty, will definitely recommend

Visiting fort William and stopped in for fish and chips, Had a freshly cooked meal of good quality fish and chips with polite friendly service. I would eat there again.

Called for a take away at 19-30 was told 45-1hour and at 8-45 was still waiting called too ask about my order the person i spoke too did not give a care..So i would not recommend very poor

A wonderful establishment, the best fish batter I have ever tasted. Seriously impressed with service, friendly staff and great chef!

I have just spent two nights in Fort William and on both nights I had my supper from here. Both meals I had (Haggis supper and Black Pudding supper, both for the first time) were excellent, as is the ice cream. I would thoroughly recommend...

We each had lovely fish and chip supper from Macari’s sitting by the sea and just enjoying the food and scenery The fish was really fresh and tasty and the chips were great too Would happily recommend to others and very pleased with this traditional...

Nuestro pedido fue; 5 pescado y patatas fritas, 5 huevas enlatadas, 5 salsa de curry y 3 guisantes blandos, el gasto total fue poco menos de 60.Pagar 8. 00 para pescado y patatas fritas, esperas una porción de tamaño razonable en su lugar, obtuvimos una pequeña porción (¡en comparación con lo que estamos acostumbrados en Birmingham! El bacalao en sí fue bastante decepcionante en sabor y la masa no estaba realmente crujiente.¡La salsa de curry es horrible! ¡Impulsado por la tumeric, que nunca he experimentado en ningún otro chippy!Claramente, el idioma / acento es un problema después de haber pedido huevas enlatadas solo para encontrar panecillos cuando regresamos a la cabaña. Incluso después de aclarar y repetir varias veces.¡El hombre de la tienda fue muy grosero y claramente carece de modales! Las chicas detrás del mostrador tenían mejores modales.Los lugares para comer en Fort William son limitados y claramente las empresas se están aprovechando de ello. Mi problema no es el precio, ya que obviamente esperas que te aprovechen al visitar esos lugares, pero mi problema es la calidad de la comida y las porciones decepcionantes.

Absolutely scrumptious fish supper. Lovely staff. Covid safety practices. Take away very organised or eat in at one of the four tables, which we did three nights running. And why not. No queue, no hassle, cooked to order, good price. Absolutely mouth-wateringly good.

Came across this chip shop by chance ,so glad we did the food was excellent with the Cod being the best we have eastern .The staff are delightful happy freindly and very very helpful .nice young lady did a little skip and hop when we thanked her .was a pleasure and a privilege to share a small time in there company .will deffo be back if happen to be in Scotland again .

Asked for a large cod and medium chips, and was told that unlike practically all other fish and chip shops, they only offer one size of fish portion. Went with a single cod with chips, and received a small box (actually labelled "small" on the bottom of the box) with a small fish portion and about a quarter of a "medium chips" you'd expect from anywhere else. Overall I'm not pleased with the portion size, and the quality wasn't above the standard you'd expect from any other fish and chip shop either.

Loads to choose from on the menu, and some different options too if you fancy a change from the normal. Black and white puddings were Stornoway - sold! We also had jumbo sausage plus chips and curry sauce. Everything was amazing, up there with the top chippers I’ve had. Definitely recommend, especially if you want a proper chipper experience in Scotland or fancy a top notch chipper! Prices reasonable and service very good.

After waiting all day to try these fish n chips which I got with curry and mushy peas (to share with husband) was so so disappointed. The chips were cold and the fish was mostly thick greasy batter.Most of it was put in the bin. I would not try again or advise to waste your money... realise why there is no eating in! Don’t like to moan but was not nice at all.

zero regard for covid procedures, staff not wearing masks whilst cooking or serving customers, we waited 15 mins before having to ask to be served which is plain rudeness, after ordering 3 other customers ordered and received their food before they remembered about our order this was then 30mins of waiting in the pouring rain. No apologies, please or thank you or enjoy your food...customers service 101! Then get back to the car to discover hair in the sausage supper and macaroni not even warm would not recommend and will not be back. train your staff!

Love this place. I've ordered different items from the menu and they're great every time! Right amount of grease for a chipper; you don't feel sickly after which I appreciate a lot. Super fast delivery. Amazing smoothies also. I also left a note on the delivery and they accommodated it.

Having climbed Ben Nevis and being on our feet for 8 hours we were starving and we arrived here and ordered 2 x Haddock and Cod Fish Suppers.Excellent, fish flakey and crispy batter certainly hit the right spot. Chips very well cooked too as were onion rings.A must to replace the lost calories and energy after such an epic hike.Dont think I'll be climbing Ben Nevis again however when back in the area this chip shop will be a must to revisit.Good luck during this unusual time

This was our first time ordering with Macari’s and this was 3 weeks ago the fish supper was not worth the price I payed for it also it was so greases also my husbands order was dripping in grease was very disappointing as was told it was a great place

Really awful. Food cold and undercooked. Tourist destinations are poorly served by places like this. Give it a miss.

Stopped off before in Feb 2020 and had excellent food then, and even better last night. Customer Service 10/10 especially with current situation. A wee wait outside but worth it as food is fresh and piping hot.

Had visited this place several time as a local. On season could be very busy and end up for waiting 20min for your order but it worth. Staff is helpful. Even this recent times the place is open with extra safety measures in place.

A pleasant change from many modern takeaways. , a place where quality and quantity go hand in hand and good service a given. If you would like a take away from a traditional cafe this is the place for you

Pedimos Fish & Chips que llegó a 8. 00, al principio pensé wow un poco caro, pero cuando recibí pude entender por qué. El eglefino era un poderoso trozo de pescado carnoso, realmente fresco, puedo agregar, y las papas fritas son en realidad chips chips apropiados. Fue atendida por un miembro del personal más joven y encantador (¿estoy seguro de que se llamaba Nellie o Millie?) Era encantadora, muy entusiasta. El menú es grande, una amplia gama de opciones. Volveremos de nuevo en mi próxima visita a Fort William!

Stopped hers for a quick munch twas splendid but had to wait 20 minutes on a fish supper. Would definetly go again though. Pigs in blankets !

They definitely need some customer service training in this place! Visited 3 times during our 5 day stay in Fort William. We were served by different people and all had the same manner... no interest!! No welcome or thank you when leaving. Continuity of food could also be better!

Living in a small town its hard to find a good takeaway ! I gave macaris several chances . It was so nice to be offered real chips! You do pay 8 pound for a fish supper...in this large box, You get half a portion if chips . Over battered small fish . Usually soggy !Everything is over priced . £2.20 for a small tub of cheese ! 3.80 for small pakora with no salad ??? What takeaway doeant do dald with pakora ? No sauce with it either..... sorry , a small mcdonalds soze pot of sweet xhilli sauce ...no pakora sauce or garlic saice to be seen And can I say 22 POUND for a munchie box ! Wow ! No kebabs meat ?I wouldnt mind these prices if you got what you paid for . I tried for the last time today . Shocking even after requesting it to be full portions . Called the manager , he was extremely rude and pretty much told me, i get my driver to give you you 30 quid and we will leave it there " in other words . I cant order anymore ! He shouted at me "do you know how much a fish costs" ? And how he had picked his best cod for me . Id hate to see his worst ....also, ihad ordered haddock?? which is now sitting infront of me cold .I will never order again ..why ? .. Food is 9 out of 10 times below standard , very tighly portioned, and they clearly dont want my business. Or my families?Good luck guys !Update i have spoken to anotjer member of staff who was has now cinfirmed i will not be refunded for this in edible meal . She was nice enough but says she is standing by her husband . I am not welcone to eat there , nor do i want to. I am upset at how i was spoken to. Never agian .

He usado la tienda de chips Macaris varias veces y estoy muy contento con la comida y la rápida respuesta del personal. pero, sobre todo, lo que me gusta de los macaris es que son chips adecuados, no la basura congelada que se obtiene en la mayoría de los lugares en estos días, pero sí chips buenos y muy buenos.

Visité este chippie el domingo por la noche, el más cercano, abierto a donde me estaba quedando cerca de Kinlochleven.Pensé que el pescado y las patatas fritas eran de un buen tamaño de porción y de buena calidad a un precio muy razonable.Esta es una para una futura visita cuando vuelva a la zona.

I ordered a haggis supper, the haggis was dry. I asked for salt and brown sauce but they don’t have Chippy sauce, I’ve never been in a chip shop in my life that don’t have their own sauce. Behind the counter was sachets of HP brown daisy tomato etc for 20p. Ripping people off and the flavor of HP brown sauce doesn’t go with a Chippy. The manager or owner said sauce is an east coast thing, I’ve been all over Scotland and England and never came across a Chippy without sauce, disappointing.

Me and my husband visited here on the 14th of October for a quick bite to eat for our dinner. Me and my partner ordered a scampi with chips and a fish supper. I was extremly delighted by the service by the two young ladies behind the counter. They were very helpful and gave us great service. The fish was cooked to perfection and the scampi was gorgeous! Will definitely be back on our next visit to this amazing town. I want to give my thanks to all the staff working that night, especially the two young girls. 5 stars from me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Visited Saturday night, excellent service affordable prices, great food! What more could you ask for! Not many places you get real fish and chips these days! Here’s one. Keep up the good work

My niece and myself went here Thursday 26th September whilst in fort William, it was the best decision as the fish and chips were magnificent and the service impeccable.

Best place in fort William staff are great food is so good, best chips in Scotland, lots of ice cream flavours

The fish and chips were both freshly made and tasty. We had cod as well as haddock.

Went to Macari's for dinner, it was a busy evening but service was quick. I'm awkward when it comes to ordering and always want something a bit different to what the menu says. But this was no problem and Bethany made sure I got my order. Thanks Bethany!

As good as you will get in the area. Freshly cooked fish and chips. You can sit in although not many tables and it comes in the carry out casing and it’s only plastic utensils but the food is great and in the end that’s what matters. Best I’ve had for a long time. Pleasant staff.

As a local, I visited Macari’s for the first time on Friday 13 th September 2019. I ordered and asked for a receipt, as I had paid by card, and was curtly told I would get it with my order. I was amazed 2 fish suppers were £16.00 and a small portion of curry sauce was £2.00 ! I had to ask again for a receipt and the sullen non-talkative female serving seemed put out and displeased. When I got home I discovered that both fish suppers had only three quarters of a fish. I will definitely NOT be back.

We stopped to pick up a small lunch for the family and went in. No queue and server asked what we wanted. We stood in front of young girl who was serving and discussed (with our family of 3 children) we wanted 4 sausages; 3 battered and 1 plain along with 1 portion of large chips. Charged £17. Thought oh that's expensive but we had ordered by then. When the food came up we were given 8 sausages - server was very rude when we said we only wanted 4 and you know that as we stood here and told you. All she did was point at the menu and say that it says on there that they are sold in 2's. That's what you ordered, she continued to deny that we said 4 sausages. the manager came over and asked if all was ok, the server continued to deny we asked for 4 sausages (even though we heard her say to the cook can they have 3 battered and 1 plain sausage) we finally got a refund for half the amount but had to accept 2 plain and 2 battered.

very reasonably priced food good quality friendly staff the haddock suuper is ideal at the end of the day

Such great food and very fast. The fish was amazing and delicious. The prices was great and surprising for the fish. My only thing of why I didn’t give 5 star is cause the chips are ok.

Este pequeño restaurante situado sobre High Street ofrece una buena porción de fish and chips, con elementos frescos y muy bien preparada.

I just got a childrens fish and chips ,which, when i got it was just 3 cod bites with chips,it was lovely though .My son got battered sausage and chips ,he got two sausages with it but considering it cost £5 i thought it still a tad expensive.The childs portion cost £4.The food was excellent and very fresh .We waited a long while for it to be cooked and there were a few people in front of us waiting too.I expected it to cost more than usual because of the location.Cannot fault the food .The young girls behind the counter were very friendly and polite

Di passaggio a Fort William abbiamo optato per un fish and chips nonostante fossimo un po' restii dopo quello mangiato qualche giorno prima in un' altra location.

My lovely wife and I popped into Macari's for a quick spot of lunch. Fish & chips cost £8 and a pot of curry sauce £2, which is a quite expensive. The chips were a bit on the insipid side and the batter a bit greasy. But the fish was nice. OK but not particularly great. Unlikely to return.

Popped in for quick dinner. I ordered a fish supper, however, the haddock was very slim and half the size of those posted by customers on Tripadvisor. For the price, the meal was a rip-off!

Delicious battered haddock and chips. Huge portions fastly cooked which could be taken away or eaten in.

Fish and chips were tasty and fresh and a large portion for the price. Service was very friendly and our food was ready quickly. Would definitely stop in again.

what a lovely place this is. Fish, chicken, haggis, pizza, ice cream to name a few. Very efficiently run, extremely busy place. Staff is very friendly. Seating for 10 people only but most order to take away or deliver. I ordered the haddock bites and chips and oh my were they delicious. Large portion as well for a good price.
