Robins Fish And Chip Shop in Highland

Really good fresh fish, chips and a whole variety of other things. Do look out for the specials!

Stunning sausage supper and a battered snickers for afters. Friendly staff too. 10/10. Was quite busy for a Saturday night and I understand why! We were stopping over in Thurso for a night whilst travelling the NC500 and we thoroughly enjoyed our tea.

Batter is crispy and very delicious chips are also quite nice

Always a tasty treat when we are in town

best chips in whole of thurso and great little outdoor space undercover with benches to sit and eat if raining BUT the one blond lady there was quite ignorant, i said hi no hello back just said yes, then just stood there at till not saying the price just starred at me, I tried again and said thank you have a nice day, she responded by saying nothing and walking off maybe she having an off day but not nice won't be going again no matter how nice food is

Visited twice over the course of 2 days, first visit was the evening of 11/10, and ordered a large haddock chips and curry, despite how busy it was, I was served pretty much straight away and had my order after about 5 minutes, was the nicest haddock and chips I've had for a long time! I also visited today 12/10, and ordered a large chips & gravy, the black haired lady at the till was really friendly and even apologised because i had a little wait for them, I love the little coveted up section outside next door to the fish shop, well covered and had some music on too

Absolutely shocking food. These places blame the economy when it’s not, it’s the food they are cooking. Frozen fish, no excuse next to the sea. I’ve been up with gut rot all evening and I only had a quarter of the fish. This is not the economy why these places are so bad” it’s the owners and poor quality standards of business they are running. This was very poor quality fish and the chips. Stay away.

Worst cod and chips I have ever had

Stopped by on our first night in Thurso. Got a large haddock supper and a white pudding supper. £16 for the two. Both were delicious! Maybe the best chippie we’ve had (were from Edinburgh). Resisting the temptation to go back each night for the same.

Delicious fish and Chips. Nice burger.

Sat outside to eat our food. The condiment containers were dirty and greasy. The table needed a wipe. The food had lots of black bits from the fryer. The batter on the white pudding was like leather. Not a good eating experience.

We had a lovely, super fresh and great fish to eat. You can't get it fresher! We enjoyed it. The fish & Chip Shop has a tiny spot beside and outside to sit and eat there.

They only or want to provide service to their friends. If you know anyone who works in the restaurant, you can jump into the queue and get your foods faster.

Battered sausage was better than expected and well priced. Chips, pretty decent. Nice touch with covered outdoor seating to nosh down on your food.

Out of this world. Fresh with no after taste. Haddock was crispy and chips were crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. Highly recommend. Would go back and I did the next night and had the Black Pudding. Yumm

Fish was burnt!!! They gave me a kids size portion of chips ! I'm still hungry! And very expensive. This is a 0 000 from me.

Food was freshly cooked and all tasted really nice. However staff were very biased towards locals giving them free sauces but over charging me for mine. And I fail to see how a sausage is £1.60 and sausage and chips is £6.50 but a large chips was only £4? The menu pricing did not make sense in the slightest. But fresh food so

Fantastic fresh fish and tasty chips.Very friendly staff.Set us up for our trip back to Fife.

Fish & Chip TakeAway - good portion/quality - very acceptable price

Top marks for having a box of fried cheesy items. Also perfect amount of chips as usually I can only eat half the chips in a portion.

Best fish and chips in town. Inconspicuous but very good.

So disappointed after a very long wait for the worst fish I have had from a fish and chip shop. Very very dry with no taste and just about inedible. Overcooked. Chips were good and husband enjoyed his chicken nuggets.

So my husband and I decided to have fish and chips in thurso. And although i have had better chips it was really nice and good value. Even the deep fried veggie burger was good. Also it was reasonably priced

We shared haddock and chips. The fish was chunky and the batter tasty. The chips were well cooked and had a good texture. We scarfed all this down us in a park at the top of the street as the sun was setting. Can’t beat it!

Superb fish and chips, good value for money - friendly staff. Couldn’t ask for more

Probably the worst fish and chips ever had. Fish was so greasy when opened the box a white fat slime was o the side walls, my wife had sausage and chips and the sausage was barely coated in batter and hard on the out side and uncooked in the middle, chips looked and tasted like yesterdays reheated. So disappointed and expensive uneaten dinner. If we had not take away your accommodation would of took them back and demanded our money back. Not recommended by us.

My favourite chippy, always enjoy stopping here on the way to or from Orkney. I normally struggle to eat fish and chips, but at Robin's their food is light and not at all greasy. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Thurso!

Absolutely disgusting food, macaroni pie was burnt black with a sprinkling of cheese to hide it. Large Haddock supper was at best medium.. And that's being generous. The chips look (and tasted) like they had been cooked in oil that hasn't been changed this millennium. Avoid this place at all costs.

I would highly recommend NOT going here. Fish was hard and tasteless. Might have been old. Given we were on the coast I was expecting a tasty fish. Cost £10 each. Very disappointing.

Very busy, food very expensive £3.50 for a small portion of chips. One of our party had sausage and chips which he said were horrible. Staff appeared to be to busy to offer much in the way of service. I won't go there again

The fish was freshly cooked and quite nice however the chips were like cardboard and inedible as they must have been in the warmer for some time.

Great local fish and chips. I had haddock chips and bettered haggis. Taste was amazing.

Hands down, the best chips in the area! And there's some strong competition for that accolade! We always choose Robins and recommend them highly to our guests. Still awesome and now accept card payment too.

Best jumbo sausage,, gd chips nice staff

Great little take-out spot. Wonderful service!

Work up Thurso at least twice a year, always go to Robins. Always good. Can be a bit tight with chips but other than that, Bang on!

First bit of disappointment was that they didn’t serve cod, so large haddock ordered. I asked for fish to be separated from chips and said yes to salt n vinegar on chips, fish got it too. Once I had got over that let down time to tuck in. The fish was nice and the batter nice and thin but I think it had been there a while. The chips must of been cooked in overdue for a change oil with all the black bits on them and were overcooked.

Stopped by here on a Saturday at 4pm. Chips were disgusting, bone dry inside and lukewarm. They looked and tasted like they had been reheated from the previous evening - as if anyone would do such a thing......this is the second time that I’ve had food that was not fit to eat from here and there most certainly will not be a third time. £5 for chips and curry sauce. Curry sauce was fine. Time to start treating your customers better.

HORRIBLE! Chips taste like they were cooked hours ago. Fish was okay. Supervisor (blonde lady) is extremely rude. I assume she must be family of owner, because NO ONE would employ this lady. If you see her behind the counter - RUN!!

Not the most inspiring place from the outside, no indication they took card - they do. Scampi supper best I've had and under£8, shame it closes relatively early, but I was hungry at 6pm

The fish was beautifully tasty but had been in the warmer for a bit so not exactly freshly cooked so much so that the forks provided broke when trying to use them. The chips were nice though but not exactly plentiful and the whole package was quite expensive for what it was. Shame about the pre cooked fish and cost as it spoiled the experience somewhat.

Gluten free fish and chips in Thurso! Not only that but fab chips and they were still crispy when we got back to the campsite

Excellent fish and chips well worth the stop! Very friendly staff, can't ask for anything else. Outdoor seating if needed.

Takeaway but you can eat right next door, there are tables and it's sheltered. I liked,

quick and pleasant service for eight of us , fresh cooked, plentiful portions, great banter too, we love it, thank you

On arrival in town the previous day we saw a large queue at this carry-out. Called in next evening for a wonderful supper. Quality fish, well cooked, and presented. Friendly and cheery staff. Well priced.

Miss this chippy as their fish was to die for soo delicious as it was soo fresh

Fish was dry and chewy.Chips the same

Driving the NC500 around Easter bank holiday, googled fish&chips shops in the area and liked the sound of this one. So pleased we picked this one, we had an Easter special salmon supper, it was the most delicious fresh fish in the crisppiest batter...the best fish we have ever had. The chips portion didn't seem very big at first compare to other shops but the amount of fish we had, we couldn't physically eat any more chips so the portion was perfect.

Fantastic fish and chips, best battered mars bar I've had 👌

Excellent fish and chips … get the cod!! Bets battered Mars bar I have EVER had 👌🏻!!

On route driving the NC500 we googled a good fish and chip shop, and this one came up unfortunately this wasn’t. The fish was cooked perfectly but the batter was just soggy except for the ends. The chips were like cardboard, been cooked to long and left sat too long. For £16 this is outrageous! My advice is to ask locals, wish we had.

Good value and tasty fish and chips. The staff were very friendly and made a fuss of our dogs. Would recommend to anyone looking for decent fish and chips in Thurso. The curry sauce was also amazing!

never been but i'd love to someday :)

Always been a great chippy, the staff always polite and welcoming. Prices are cheap enough and the portion sizes are pretty good. Has always been clean and tidy, even when busy. Almost everything is cooked to order so may have to wait 5mins, but well worth it though as it'll be fresh and hot. Has daily specials like fresh local cod supper for £9, the cod was AMAZINGLY fresh and there was plenty of it, (*the batter is the thin type normal for Scotland and not like the thicker type often found in England*). Does the battered Mars bar and Cadbury Creme Egg.. personally I'd stick to the normal chip shop fare and enjoy a well priced, well cooked, good sized meal. Also popular with the locals which tells you all you need to know!

Cooked fresh Haddock , visited from Cheshire.really tasty and polite staff:)

Worst fish and chips I have ever had the fish was way overcooked like a bit of leather all 4 suppers were the same so not a one off actually felt like it had been precooked so nowhere near fresh total disappointment

Best chippy I've had in a very long time!!!! So gutted I stay in Inverness and won't get another chance to eat there again. We were a large group of people and they served us pronto with delicious Fish supper! Amazing!!!!!

Absolutely revolting! Chips were bone dry, the batter was as tough as leather and the fish was way over cooked. I went in at 4pm, when they open, so I assume this had been "cooked" within a few minutes prior to the shop opening. The mind boggles, how on earth are these people receiving 5 star reviews? I can only assume the "locals" are drunkards or halfwits (or a combination of both) no way does this joint even warrant one star.

Always great food and friendly service,top chippy is Robins 😋👌👍

Love the food at Robins, you are always guaranteed good quality food and we have never been disappointed.

Slow to serve all they were interested in was serving phone orders people were quing out the door wating to get served

Great food, only cooked when you order. Worth the wait in the q.

Visited on a Saturday and ordered the special (cod). It was freshly cooked and then served to me about 10 minutes later. What I was served was a burnt piece of battered fish, swimming in grease with lacklustre chips. The best bit was the pot of curry sauce I ordered as a side.

Brilliant fish&chips cooked by using a coal fire to heat the oil. Reasonable price and absolutely delicious. You will probably have to queue. Beamish I've been 3 times and loved it each time. Tickets are valid for a year from date of purchase. Loads of free parking. Sat nav will take you there. I recommend it.

Ordered fish supper x 2 and pie supper. Fish batter was over cooked , as was pie , chips were greasy and half cooked. Will not be back.

No was not nice pie was burnt and batter was hard and over cooked

Excellent gluten free fish and chips

After such a long wait to even just order, my fish was burned, didn't enjoy my meal, the staff members were friendly though. And quite annoying that in this covid times they take "cash only"....

This was a very average fish and chips. Batter was a bit burned, and the fish was a little dry. Chips were decent but that was about it. Maybe we got it on a bad day, it was busy, but not sure why it's gotten so many high ratings.

As I lay here aroused and confused I think back to last night and think wow was it really that good. Most delicious fish supper ever. Not quite as tasty as the young man that held the door on my way in but I’m sure he’ll be back for some seconds. Gorgeous staff, local fish, sausage could have been slightly harder but I’m very fussy about my sausage.

Traditional fish and chips, not bad

Spending one night in Thurso , walked here for a chip shop meal , waited ages for awful food , sausage in batter was terrible , chips were horrible & the oil it was all fried in needs changing ASAP !! Fingers x I won’t...

Good take away, tasty fish and chips. Close to Premier Inn so ideal for travellers and locals alike! Yummy! Can get quite busy so be prepared to wait in line!

Fish and chips had sat for a long time. Locals served quickly & given best fish. Cold, dark batter & very disappointing. We stuck out like a sore thumb that we were tourists & suffered badly. Haddock Supper (x2), both terrible and totalled more than...

When I opened the box I was disappointed with what I saw, however, having taken the very pale soggy looking batter the fish was actually very good. Chips were good too.

Our first time here and will not be the last food was delicious 10/10

Pretty good quality - small portions. Food not very well advertised and cash only which can be a Pain these days.

Wonderful food and service when we stopped for a fish supper on the way home from a day out. We travelled back to Melvich to eat and food was still hot, crispy and tasty. The portions were excellent too. Definitely worth a visit when in...

This has to be the worst fish and chips ever. So disappointing that this is served to tourists. Chips were burnt greasy broken pieces of potato, fish was covered in soggy dark brown batter, clearly cooked in dirty oil. White pudding was sodden with oil,...

Delicious food. I recommend !!!

Fantastic food, fresh and delicious

I feel sad leaving a bad review as I love a fish supper and the staff are lovely but honestly this was the worst fish and chips I've ever had. The fish was thin and tasteless, the batter tasted tough and burnt - like a...

Great chipper, I got a sausage supper and my partner a haddock supper. Both were cooked to perfection and the haddock in particular was very robust and flavoursome. Service was fast despite the number of other customers at the time of our visit. Strongly recommend if you're in the mood for a chipper up in the far North East

Great chippy the chips are amazing! All cooked to order so very fresh i would reccomend a takeaway from here

As I heard, frozen fish in Lidl is better.

Decent enough chips altho the ones I had were black speckled for some reason

Very tasty and fresh. Staff were friendly and helpful. We thought the chips were some of the best we’ve had and the cost was reasonable.

Perfect just what we needed on a wet windy night camping. Friendly service - very covid secure Fresh food and tasty Would recommend

Lady on counter very nice very good fish and chips good portion of salt and vinegar will return again

Nice chips and haggis supper, all cooked fresh to order. Nice friendly and cheerful staff

Only staying in town for a couple of days and found Robin's before heading to the pub. The chips I can honestly say we're the best I have tasted in a long time. Crisp and tasty and not greasy at all. Highly recommended

What can i say , cooking fish and chips is hardly rocket science. 1) get some fresh fish delivered. 2) Make up a quality batter with beer or some such good ingredient 3) Cook it for the required time in a decent oil or fat....

Battered mars bars and snickers.

Was aware girl who served me had alighted from a blue Volvo parked outside shop..she jumped out of car and took my order,then a few minutes later jumped back into car for a minute or two..where she was stroking,clapping and hugging a dog..then back behind...

Tried a few different chippies in the general area and this was by far the best. The que outside says it all. Proper old school chippy that does things right, nice fresh fish and crispy batter(this is the bit that the rest can't seem to grasp) As we aren't local it wasn't actually obvious to us but you need to call your order in and collect at the moment.

Waited half an hour to place an order, the order queue did not move in that time. No member of staff said anything. Had to leave hungry and angry as I had a ferry to catch.

If the owner smiled her face would crack

Tasted great but long wait always best to order in cercumstances

Superb, robin and Jackie are brilliant
