Riverside Chippy in Highland

The best thing to have ever happened to the Kinlochleven area. This fabulous Chinese takeaway replaced the dreadful fish and chip shop on the site. The food is unbelievable, portion sizes will ensure you have more than enough, fantastic staff and I can't truly express how helpful they are. People are traveling from the much wider area to come to this gem and I can only say that I totally understand as it's the best Chinese takeaway I have ever been to.

I have never driven a round trip of 30 miles to get fish and chips before. Having read the reviews of a local (7miles) chip shop we decided to visit Rice and Chips in Kinlochleven. Quick trip to the local CoOp cash point (no withdrawal fee) was required as cash only here. We decided to stop at Seagull Island Viewpoint a short drive away and enjoy the fantastic f & c meal. Very pleasant staff. Very reasonable prices. A gem of a find. Best end to this review is we can call and try the Chinese food tomorrow!

Came here for the first time tonight as we are at the waterfront lodges at the holly tree hotel. Read the reviews and as it’s only a 20 mins drive away decided to order. Great menu choice on their facebook. Lovely lady took my call to order, really friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. Very fresh and piping hot. Very large portions, great value for money.

Went in at lunch time today (11/11/2023) I ordered chicken curry and asked if I could have half fried rice and half chips with it - bill came to £13:10 - just checked and the curry was £7:80 so I was charged £5:30 for half rice and half chips (frozen not real) - photos show the size of the portions - feeling ripped off

After several wet and windy days hiking the West Highland Way my wife and I noticed this small Chinese/Fish & Chip shop opposite the Tailrace Inn. Pretty basic inside but sat and enjoyed a fantastic meal. Purchased sweet and sour chicken, lemon chicken, stir fried vegetables, and egg fried rice. Proved to be way too much for the two of us, BUT it was delicious- especially the lemon chicken. Very reasonable prices. For two people one main dish would have been sufficient (unless you’re really hungry). Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing place, lots to eat and if I could give more stars I would. I'm a bit of a fussy eater, and they took the peppers out for me, and I asked for mushrooms instead, they were very accommodating.

This was the first time that we've had food from 'Rice & Chips' and we found it to be first class. Very friendly staff when I went to collect the food and the portions were enormous.. Well done to all concerned

We had completed a long day of hiking and ordered a couple of chow miens. The portions were huge which was much appreciated, but also incredibly tasty. Highly recommend

Excellent Chinese takeaway food. Quick service, generous portion sizes, you can phone ahead and the meal will be ready in about 15 minutes. Friendly, helpful service, reasonably priced. If you are self catering and want someone else to cook, go for it. We were only prevented from re visiting by the traffic chaos in Appin / Tyndrum.

Treated myself to a chinese takeaway while staying in Kinlochleven - order ready in under 10 minutes (it took me 8 minutes to get out the door and walk to their shop and the order was waiting. Portions are HUGE - I could've survived for two days on this meal, with enough prawn crackers to feed an elephant for a week. The chicken satay starter was the best I've ever had anywhere. I could just eat these for the rest of my life. Okay maybe not a long life, but what a way to go. So good. The beef curry was good too, and I look forward to going back sometime and trying a few other things.

We were walking the West Highland way and needed a meal before our last day. Great service, quality and value especially if one of you likes Haddock and chips and the the other Chinese food.

Superb! I’ve been twice when visiting Kinlochleven so far in the last month. The 2 girls at the counter are so friendly and helpful and always with a smile. Any dish can be tailored to suit as you like. Recently I asked for extra extra spicy Schezwan chicken and it was mind blowing! Volcano hot but still very tasty with lots of tender chicken. So good I couldn’t save any for the next day sadly. Highly recommended and I will certainly be a regular when up in that area. Great job!.

Besøgte stedet for en hurtig frokost og fik nogle dejlige hjemmelavede forårsruller, dog havde de ikke chilisovs. Mulighed for at sidde og spise men stedet er baseret på takeaway.

This is now a Chinese takeaway and has to be one of the best in Scotland, if not the UK. Freshly cooked delicious food with generous portions and friendly staff. Highly recommended

There aren't many warm food options along the West Highland Way, so the opportunity to be able to get a hot meal on the penultimate day without having to pay overpriced-pub prices was a large relief. Unfortunately, the general economies of scale apply here too and the food is not quite the value you'd hope it would be. Still, it is warm and tasty, and about exactly what you'd expect for a small-town chippy. If I were to walk the WHW and visit Kinlochleven again, I would buy some food from the Co-op and something small from this chippy to get a warm meal for better value.

Wednesday 23rd June 2021. I had actually heard some very good things about this chippy and it was recommended to me by a friend. I had just completed the 6th and 2nd last leg of The West Highland Way. And had this Chip Shop penciled into my diary for places to eat while on the route. It is with sadness that i must confess that it was nothing special at all. I found the lady behind the counter somewhat, rude, abrupt, and a little impolite. I am sure this is down to the Covid-19 restrictions & protocols and perhaps being rather busy at the time did not help. The Fish I had I felt was somewhat rather small and over priced for what I had and never have I been anywhere, where I knew what sized fish to order in ounces lol. Small, Medium or large perhaps, either way it looked rather small. It was Ok,

Wife and I live in kent. She does not have to wear a mask as suffers from COPD. We stepped in to for her to be shouted at for not covering her nose she was trying her best only wanted to look at menu. Pity as meal was freshly cooked but unfortunately that is all she will remember of this premises.

Food cooked to order and well worth the wait - voted best fish and chips EVERRRR by the whole family on our last visit to the area in Oct 2019

Good menu selection, wide variety of food options. Good and service. It's a bit secluded location but once you know where to go., very easy to find

Wonderful freshly cooked food, great choice, delicious, and specials are wonderful. We have a take away from here most weeks and never tire of the tasty food, warm and friendly service, and welcoming smiles. Great little family-run place that takes pride in making sure their customers get the best.

Wonderful place and have been going for a while. Kim and Andy are very kind and can also chat to. The food is good and also cheap.Unless it is really busy food doesn't take to long and you could just call in to in case you were in a rush.Plenty of choices for adults and kidsThat's all i have to say

Wow this might have been the most expensive chip shop I have ever been to. Worth every penny simply beautiful fish and chips.

Jag och en kompis hade varit upp i The Mamores och klättrat och jagat från 9 på morgonen till 8 på kvällen.Helt förstörda kommer vi på att alla resturanger kommer vara stängda när vi kommer till vårt B&B.Vår vän David ringde och fixade en mix-låda var härifrån. Jättegott och massor med mat.

One of the best in the area great food and staff are happy people go every other night when on holiday can't beat it

We visit this chippy and recommend to family and friends. Kim and Andy provide a friendly service and everything is cooked to order. You may have to wait a little longer but your guaranteed a supper that’s not been sitting around in the warmer.

What a great chippy. It has a wide range of food on the menu. Everything cooked to order so tasty and fresh. The fish was crispy as were the chips and my partner had the chicken nuggets which were excellent, fresh chunks of chicken breast. Mushy peas were a delight. Better than most chippys in Edinburgh.

lovely sausage supper on the way home after a few in the pub staff polite and helpful and chips very tasty

This is a great wee chippy with a good selection of food to choose from, including soft drinks, sweets and ice cream. Any time I have been, the food was freshly made and steaming hot.

Great chippy. We sat inside and was very clean and welcoming. Food was excellent and cooked to order not just left till it was used

Fantastic chippy very friendly couple , great portions had 6oz haddock supper £6.95 excellent portion was amazing chips were lovely and soft in middle crispy outside , fish was amazing so moist and batter super crispy , it was all freshly made to order well worth the wait , defo be back for the 9oz fish next time :)

Staff were friendly. Lots of choice on the menu. The one major complaint I have is that they put your fish/sausage etc under the chips so by the time we got it home to eat the batter was soggy. Despite asking for salt & vinegar there was very little taste of this. It’s the only take out in the area tho so if your wanting quick food it’s the only option.

Lekker vettige pukka pies met chips, spotgoedkoop, fijne bediening. Alles wat een fish & chips zaak moet zijn !

We ate pizza & chips here at the end of a long hiking day and it was fast and very reasonably priced. There are some tables inside, also outside. The menu is enormous, took me a while to choose what to have!

Vile fish and chips that are overpriced. I would rather eat cat food than that rubbish they sell. I do not recommend this place at all. There are pubs and hotels that do much better food for about the same price

Good food at reasonable price. While this has nothing to do with food think it worth a mention, been here 4 times and contrary to other contributions found staff to be dour and the least friendly in area.

Went there whilst stopping at the mamore view holiday home nice food but very overpriced not open Sundays and Mondays and closes very early the couple before me got offered a bag when they were just going to eat there food on the table outside I got a few bits that I needed to travel with an I didn't get offered one and the lady that works there doesn't have the nicest attitude and her customer service needs to improve

Good chippy with all the food cooked to order. Some seating available inside and some picnic benches outside. Closed on a Sunday though.

Lovey wee chippy with good service, everything cooked to order and incredibly reasonable prices. They have a wee seating area with 4 or 5 tables inside which is a nice touch and also some tables out in front which were full of people when we arrived (a good sign!)

Pizza was good, we didn't taste the actual fish and chips, though. Eating in is also possible. Good value.

Booked a table as there was 5 of us. Food and service was good. Reasonably priced and well cooked. Service with a smile.

Visit this chippy every time I'm up in Glencoe, we drive up! Food is beautiful and the staff are lovely :)

We chose to eat at the chippy on our first night in Kinlochleven. The food was freshly cooked for us but the chips did not have a lot of flavour and there were not many of them - for the same price I usually get 2-3 times as many at home. We were able to eat inside which was a plus.

This was a quick tea after a long day fishing s.o although we had to wait on the food being prepared it was worth waiting for. The problem with a lot of the smaller chippies is they use frozen fish which can be bland to say the least.

The fish was lovely only wish i had found this wee gem earlier i could have sampled their pizza, the owners bend over backwards to help you, perfect

Stopped off here for dinner after arriving for our 1st night camping in Kinlochleven. Food was fantastic and all made fresh to order, Best chips and haggis ive tasted in a whilse. Staff were lovely and portions were very large :)

Fantastic food. First night of camping in Kinlochleven and we went to this chip shop for dinner. Everything was made fresh and tasted great.

Great chippie in Kinlochleven, with varied menu and large portions. Cod and scampi and mushy peas all fab. Well worth a visit.

Staying locally for a week - called once - went back twice more!

The staff was friendly and the food was hot and delicious. Wish there was something like this where I live. I don't normally eat fish but this was the Bomb Dot Com!!

One of the best fish & chips suppers l have eaten in Scotland. Very clean restaurant, lovely food, cooked to order, so always hot and fresh, varied menu and a good price, Kim & Andy do a great job. Definitely worth a visiting.

We visited the chip shop on 2 occasions after climbing at the ice factor...great to get proper homemade chips, friendly staff and my 6 year old loved the fact you can get ice cream in a chippy. Will visit again it was spotless .

Love this place whenbon holiday for a week we come to this chip shop every other night great photonfish and chips are tasty great people who run it to

We were only in the area for one night, but would have had these fish and chips every night if we had stayed longer.

The best ever cod and chips but not just in Kinlochleven ... anywhere! I'm usually really fussy and yet this cod and heavenly batter is to die for. Highly recommended.

Three of us came here for dinner and had the fish and chips-gigantic portions and really tasty. The pizza was also pretty good. Fairly priced for quantity and quality! Super fun staff.

Fish & Chips freshly cooked while you wait, would definitely recommend the cod. Perfect portions. Great service.

We had lovely fish and chips here, friendly lady serving, fresh bright makeover and spotlessly clean. Definitely worth a visit😊

i was walking the west highland way with my son in march 2016, when we camped in Kinlochleven camp site, we decided to pop into the village for food and stumbled across the Fish and chip shop, I believe the old riverside chippy is under new management as it seems to be a brand new venture or spruced up, it looks and is clean from the outside and inside,
