Salt & Vinegar in Glasgow City

This review is for the Resturant side only. I have been coming to this place since it opened but never had an experience like this in my life. Before I continue just want to say the staff at the takeaway side are phenomenal and amazing. This review is only for the restaurant side. The male staff members attitude stank, when we arrived, wasn't happy to see us, spoke down to us, only reason I stayed and had a meal there was because my partner said I am just thinking that as I was thinking about leaving just as we sat down. Just as I put my fork down the same staff member comes running over and wants to take my plate away. Just finished pouring my tea and he sent the polite lady over with my bill. So during my meal I had to put my drink down and pay for my meal. Never happened at any other establishment in all my life. After paying my partner said to her do you want rid of us as we are still finishing our meal and the lady knew it was wrong. Other people were not treated like this in the restaurant as we waited to see how others were treated, which was clearly not the case. On leaving the restaurant my partner spoke very quietly to the male staff member and and asked who the manager was, he informed it was himself and my partner just pointed out the same points that I have put in the review. Basically he said if you not happy don't come back here. Racism is a very strong word and not to be used lightly, but on this occasion the first time ever I have experienced racial discrimination in glasgow and we both have lived here all our life's.

Just had an online delivery via Uber- haddock supper & single sausage £19.60. Delivered very quickly, but sausage not hot and NO chips. Rang S&P. Really sorry but can't now send chips. You'll need to contact Uber-Eats.NOTHING TO DO WITH US! Go into app and get a refund. Uber refunded just over £4. Salt & Vinegar customer service non-existant. Will never order from them again.

Service is what this plaice (gahaha) does so well, always a friendly smile when you enter. That and the fish suppers, sausage, haggis... Whatever you want is cooked to order so it's always hot and fresh. Yum.

Excellent fish & chips, very nice staff. The only reason why I didn’t give it 5 star is that I asked for salt and vinegar and was barely any on it. Also the sauce is the cheap kind. For over £10 for fish and chips a decent sauce should be offered, like HP or Heinz. Or even the option to buy a packet like blue lagoon does.

Excellent fish n chips. Staff are lovely. And decor really works

Visitamos la semana pasada y nos dieron la hora del té especial. Consigues un pequeño pescado unas patatas fritas, salsa tártara, una rebanada de pan y una olla de té por £ 10. 50 . La comida era agradable, aunque en porciones no va a llenar a un hombre adulto, pero se adaptará a su abuela. Si vas después de las 5 pm, honestamente diría que los precios son demasiado altos para la comida que obtienes. Cobran 3 libras. 30 para su promedio de 330 m lata o coca o bru y eso es simplemente ridículo! Obviamente saben que la mayoría de los niños y adolescentes beben esto, por lo que la mayoría de las familias lo pedirán sin consultar los precios. Solía estar muy ocupado, pero no tanto en estos días y debido a cosas pequeñas como esta. El hecho es que a la gente no le gusta que la estafen.

Recientemente he estado en una comida y estaba bien, pero tenía comida para llevar de aquí unos días después y las patatas fritas estaban mal cocinadas, lo que es decepcionante. Algunas de las fichas eran bastante duras. El bateador tampoco estaba tan crujiente como de costumbre. No sé si tienen una nueva persona allí que no está cocinando las cosas durante el tiempo suficiente, pero no es una comida para llevar barata, así que espero que sea mejor en el futuro.

Glasgow has the best Fish&Chips, and this place is in the top spot for Glasgow. Fresh, non greasy fish with homemade perfectly cooked chips.

Placed order through uber food never arrived. Phoned twice to be told nothing they could do as its ubers responsibility and just apologised not good customer service as they chose to hire uber as there delivery partner.

Great meals great value for money would recommend

Went in for a lunchtime deal of roll and sausage and chips. Never got the sausage for the roll. Just all chips.

He estado un par de veces desde que abrió, me gustaría visitar más a menudo si el aparcamiento no era tan difícil. Creo que es el mejor chippy de Glasgow. Tengo un solo bacalao rebozado para llevar y fue excepcional. Bien vale la pena la espera y el valor brillante para lo que obtiene.

Had lunch menu haddock and chips it was really nice will be back staff lovely too so helpful

Sal y Vinagre es uno de mis lugares favoritos para comer. El mejor pescado con patatas fritas y comida de lubina increíble. El personal aquí es siempre acogedor y amable, y es nuestra familia ir a su lugar. Hace poco traje a mis 2 vecinos y no pueden esperar a volver. Hoy, me atendió Anthony, que era servicial y amable y cortés. Después de leer a través del menú, pedí uno de mis favoritos, como se ve en la foto. Hasta pronto.

Fabulous restaurant! Great food great service.

I had that Haddock in Batter. The fish was fresh and flakie. The batter was oh so nice and crisp. Even stayed crisp after adding some malt vinegar.

Friendly & welcoming staff, food lovely, always hot & freshly cooked, worth the wait. Restaurant is clean & comfortable & take away food packed carefully, survives the car journey home!

Got a fish and chips here tonight. My partner and I have both been sick from it. Chips were okay but fish was greasy and heavy and as I say, both of us have since been sick with it. Horrible feeling that will put you off chippies. Disappointed to say the least.

Been 3 times in a month. Ordered 3 different things, everything has been perfect. Some of the poor reviews I would take with a pinch of salt (no pun intended) because this place is excellent. If there was any criticism I'd say it could be a bit better value for money. Some things do seem overpriced but when you get excellent food in a well fitted out restaurant with pleasant staff then its worth a visit. See u again soon.

Good sit in and take away fish and chip shop in Shawlands. Big portions. Open lunch times and evenings. Can't park outside need to use nearby streets eg Norham Street.

One of the best places to get fish and chips. Not many places do cod but here they do a lovely large fillet. Always fresh and tasty.

Staff deserved so much praise for how kindly they were to older customers and those in a wheelchair etc. Top class. Food was very good and lunch menu is a generous offer.

Ordered for a delivery, definitely not amongst the best fish & chips in Glasgow for me, please give your customers their moneys worth with a slice of lemon & a tub of tartare sauce at least, presentation is everything, chips need improvement and too much breadcrumbs, never finished the meal!

Been visiting salt viniger not had problem, when visited on wed, fish hard dressing as it was as if it was reheated, won't be visiting again, staff lovely

I’m so annoyed. Paid £6.50 for a gluten free fish goujon supper and this is what I got

One of my new favourite restaurants in Shawlands. The food was exceptional, the service was warm & attentive, and the prices were perfectly reasonable!

Always accommodating for muslims and the muslim diet. Extremely nice people that work here. Iv visited and ate 30+ times. Very good high quality food.

I went with family for the lunch special which is a traditional fish, chips, tea and bread and butter (other choices are available). Great value for What was a lovely meal and the service was first class. I recommend it.

Excellent food and service highly recommend

visited for lunch, had the lunch special menu for 2 .All made fresh to order, food, service, quality and nice vibes were all good. Certainly will return again.

Very good quality chippy. Good range of sea food and other offerings

We've been coming here for excellent fish suppers for the past two years. Has been our go-to place if we want fish & chips. Lovely atmosphere, excellent food.

Very nice fish and chips. Gave 4 starts just because it is quite expensive. 14£ for fish and chips meal. Also there were no peas,just salad.

Salt and Vinegar was recommended by a friend during a trip to Glasgow. It definitely didn’t disappoint, huge pieces of hot, fresh cod in amazing batter. Staff were friendly especially Junesky who my granddaughter Izzy loved!

Had excellent carry out food.Tried sit in .Left without sampling lovely food...a bit of staff training required.Hopefully it will improve experience.

The best fish and chips in Glasgow

Great fish& chips! Staff are very kind and attentive. We started buying fish & chips during the pandemic - it felt like a real treat- and we continue to go there for a fish supper! A gem in shawlands 😊

It's a Blue Lagoon chippy. The fish isn't good. Chip's are OK however it's not that hard to mess Chip's up. The location is the reason why it's expensive.

Ordered a fish and chips and a single haggis,the fish batter was super greasy,the kirby grips were ok nothing special tbh. The haggis was hard , tasteless and cheap. And on that basis I won't be back!

One of my new favourite restaurants in Shawlands. The food was exceptional, the service was warm & attentive, and the prices were perfectly reasonable!

A lovely wee Chippy with take out and dining in sections. The fish tea was lovely and reasonably priced. It was very busy when we were in, but the waiting staff were friendly and efficient.

Loved this ' plaice ' ( sorry, I couldn't resist ) Best fish supper I've had in a long time. The service is excellent and great atmosphere.

Fantastic as ever, lunch deal is incredible value and staff so friendly, particularly to our 3 year old.

Prices still reasonable, food great quality and the staff are friendly and professional.

As always. Great food and excellent friendly service.

Delicious 😋 lovely staff and fish and chips perfectly cooked. Will be back 👍

Food excellent We all of us enjoyed our meal Sea bass..lemon sole delicious The home made bannoffee cheese cake was amazing..compliments to the Baker

Friendly service. Food was lovely we had haddock and chips also seafood linguine. Very reasonably priced.

Placed an order through Uber Eats tonight which was never delivered, in spite of receiving a confirmation email stating that the order has been completed. Phoned the restaurant and explained the situation, they just basically dismissed it saying they had no control on the Uber Eats drivers and not offering any help whatsoever. If you have no control on the delivery drivers maybe you shouldn't use them at all. Brilliant customer service there, way to go!

I don’t get why people rave about this restaurant! The food isn’t great for the price and the atmosphere is ruined by constantly overhearing the takeaway customers and delivery riders. The staff seem keen to chase you out, even when there’s no one waiting. The sauce pot really lowers the class of the restaurant, it would be so much better to have sauce bottles and salt/pepper shakers. It really feels like Salt & Vinegar can’t decide whether it’s an expensive restaurant or a chippy that has added some tables. At the prices being charged, I’d expect better quality and atmosphere than the sit-down Blue Lagoons.

Lovely restaurant..food was delicious..nice and friendly staff.

Visited on Tuesday with a friend for the lunch time deal and it delightful, the waiter and waitress were lovely very attentive, the food was just as good and the tea with the deal was a bonus. will definitely be back

We're in the shop yesterday. We had the best takeaway fish and chips we've had ,freshly put on fish.

This place is magnificent. The food is delicious (I had a sausage supper). Jumbo sausages were all very nice. The chips were lovely and a side of coleslaw was delicious. Would highly recommend.

Excellent fish tea, first class service Will definitely be back. Thank You.

The food and service is very good but we had a real problem with the size of our table. We were given a table for 2 but when both plates were served they took up 90 % of the table. We had to place our cups and tea pots on the table next us which thankfully was unoccupied. Booth tables are fine but the tables for two are more suited to single occupiers. They should look at installing bigger tables as the one we were given is not suitable for 2 people.

No service, terrible food and zero atmosphere. I was so close to walking out but didn't want to upset my partner. However she sees it as a customer I see it as a hospitality owner. £40+ for mac n cheese (might as well be cheesy pasta from lidl) 'Lobster ravioli' bought in with very little crab stick meat and NOT lobster, neither of which was nearly finished. No question as to why. Had to look for the 3 staff members standing having a gab before got served with nearly no enthusiastic service and no music even with the speakers fitted. It was either we ate the plastic starfish on the wall or the bland and most basic food an S1 student would do better...we left hastily. Strongly suggest avoiding this place and go to Catch in Giffock or ANYWHERE ELSE instead. At least the food and service delivers. Having a change of heart thought "maybe just a bad day". Nope consistency terrible on all factors and the fact the owner or manager won't even reply to negative reviews is either lazy or there is something shady going on in the background 🤔 Avoid, avoid and avoid!!

Really nice relaxed vibe, it's a chippy with more...industrial chic decor and comfy booths. Staff were bearded delights, friendly and welcoming. Salt and vinegar was in pouches/sachets but allowed me to have hundreds of salt, so just the way I like and I guess a hangover from lockdown restrictions. Good value too, lovely lunch on a Monday when others were closed fish tea including bread, tartar sauce and tea for under a tenner in October 23 is quite a deal. Well done all

Good food, friendly service. We had the haggis fritters as one of our party had never had haggis. Great for a mid week night out. Thank you

Food was nice, first time a bit dry. Second time a lot better. Service friendly and fast. Place looks nice.

When one thinks fish ‘n’ chips can’t get any better, you really must try the Salt & Vinegar restaurant in Shawlands. We stopped in for fish ‘n’ chips and I can honestly say it was “SUPERB” The food that was presented was freshly cooked and the flavour and freshness of the fish ‘n’ chips was first class ! If like me, you like freshly prepared fish ‘n’ chips then look no further that this establishment, we’ll certainly will be back !

Unnecessarily rude service for mediocre food.

I bought fish supper but asked for 2 fish,it was a bit expensive and thought this better be worth the money,didn’t disappoint,best fish I have ever tasted.The gravy is amazing too.Will definitely be going back.oh and they have a seating area if busy which means they cook as someone orders which means you are getting fresh cooked food and it’s not sitting inside the heater for hours.😋

Amazing wee chippy! Don't think I've paid full price yet. Always half price on Uber Eats. Would recommend as its cheap and delivered rapid

My husband and I have been going to salt & vinegar for about 7yrs … the service was always really good and food has always be good … change in staff not so good … they ask you if your ordering from the lunchtime menu … we said yes … ordered our main food and three fritters 80p each from the lunchtime menu … when I got the bill I had been charged £3.95 for the three fritters…i queried the bill the guy said that I have been charged from the main menu! I said I never ordered from the main menu? He replied I see what your saying …however the girls charged you from the main menu! I said and? Never got a refund …No tip was given … 👎🏻 I know it’s only £1.55 but it the principal… asked for the tea to be brought with food … it came before the food… asked for no salad … got salad with dressing 😷 asked if we would like any sauce we said yes … it never came! we won’t be back for a while… as the service is not like it used to be!

Lovely Haddock and chipsand salad. Fresh cooked. Sat in comfort and enjoyed.

This place was really hyped to me by other people who have tried it, so I was looking forward to eating there but I didn't feel the fish and chips particularly stood out. It's alright but I doubt I'll return.

Excellent food and nice, helpful staff. Great value

Really nice fish and chips. And takeout is reasonably priced. The big drawback is we didn't realise the sit in prices are waaaaay more expensive than takeout, we wouldn't have dined in had we realised.

Overpriced for mediocre fish and chips

Terrible service and rude staff.

We visit before scotland games, always good food and polite service.

What a great find. Fantastic food, great sit in service and take out looked efficient and friendly. Will definitely be back. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Yummy

Last time I went in, the nasty wee owner was there. He shook hands with some random friend over the counter (unhygienic) and then let them walk behind the counter, about 6/7 of them and carrying on fake fighting etc. I found it all a bit weird. Got my fish supper and left but doubt I’ll be back. I couldn’t get out fast enough.

Exceptional fish and chip shop.

Really good fish and chips. Had it delivered TWICE in a week on Uber Eats it was so good. Proper fish and chips, and not too expensive. Would happily order again as my local chippy (Catch) is a dear hole.

Usually good, but today (Sunday ) was a big disappointment, fish was obviously not fresh, had been refried, therefore batter very crunchy, and had to bite hard....

Had fish and chips and a portion of fritters. It was tasty, and I really enjoyed it. Nice decor and friendly staff. If I have any moan, it would be it's only one piece of fish, but it was a decent size.

Great Glasgow Chip shop in Shawlands

Over priced and to be honest theres cafe that can do better small portions hefty prices

best fish and chips this side of the river Clyde (if not the city) - don't take my work for it - try it for yorself (unless your a fan of Blue Lagoon - in which case there is a McDonalds 10 minutes away from S&V). Sit in or eat out - your choice - go on you know you want to! Salt and Vinegar voted the southsides best kept seafood secret 😁 Utterly delicious, a dine out experience to remember, immaculate service, go early to avoid the risk of any disappointment ... 5 chippy stars out a yummy 5

We both had haddock and chips from the lunch specials menu. Fish was small and ok,chips were decent. Served with very small side salad (doesn’t go with fish and chips in our opinion) tartare sauce,lemon and a slice of white bread and butter. Food was fine and price was good (£9.35 each) Nice place with decent service. We would visit again for lunch if in the neighbourhood.

My mum was a regular here (two to three times per week since they opened), and used to highly recommend it to others. However, as of late the service has become increasingly poor to completely rude. The food is usually good, but again over the last month has deteriorated. My mum is partially disabled and the small table is not practical for her when dinning with another person. All the tables in the restaurant were empty but the waitress would not allow us to use another slightly larger table and said they the whole restaurant was reserved, which to be honest one does not believe at all so we left. I doubt very much that either of us will return. Exceptionally disappointing.

Got four out of five in an order wrong when I got home so I give it a one star

First time visiting and won't be the last. Lovely fish tea and great size portion.

Had been thinking about going here for a long time as friends had been raving about it so gave it a shot my son and myself I had the sea bass breadcrumb with chips my son had normal fish and chips I’m afraid I wasn’t impressed but my son enjoyed his for me it was that the skin hadn’t been taken off the sea bass so it wasn’t for me I couldn’t eat it in restaurant like that so definitely not in a chip shop was upset because I wanted to taste this shop for a long time because of people talking about it but sorry not for me maybe I should’ve got fish and chips like my son but he enjoyed it

First visit for me and my pal for an evening fish tea. Food and service excellent , cost a bit more than we usually pay but well worth it. It is also a nice place , we will be back.

Can't understand some of the bad reviews on here, been numerous times in the past for the lunchtime special, great value I had Cod partner had the burger, both delicious ,portions just right and nicely presented.

My sister was sick and me and my niece weren't well !! It used to be good I dnt no if its changed owners but it was my 1st and last time my Mum has been beforehand she always said it was lovely but not that day sorry I'f anyone saw my review and went I suppose its each to there own £43.40 we were 4 lunches and a can of juice which was £3.40

Great tasting fish and chips and a good portion size also. I've had bass and lemon sole here now.

Salt & Vinegar is a restaurant and a takeaway the staff are very helpful and friendly one of the nicest takes I've had in a while

Fantastic fish and chips, delicious and warm, bit pricey when sitting in but defo worth the price due to the great friendly customer service

Very nice food. Fresh and hot. Friendly atmosphere. Will visit again.

Some of best fish and chips i had in Glasgow and the UK for sure! The batter was light and crispy, and not oversoaked in oil and the oil its been cooked in was definitely not many days old and reused. Will be coming back again specially for fish and chips and a pint! Fantastic

Lovely cod supper from the lunch menu. Tartare sauce was excellent as well as the fish and chips quality.

Service fast and friendly food excellent all freshly prepared will be back

S&V is always an excellent choice. Recommend eating in. Lovely!

Great value and excellent service. We got the last lunch time table

A Chippy that doesn't have any Cod! Poor show. Had to leave without eating.

Unfortunately, after literally 5 years of going to this restaurant frequently we won’t be back. I tried to order 2 kids meals for a 12 and 8 year old. The waitress said to me, “ oh, what age is he because you’re ordering two kids meals, my manager is in and there is no way I’ll get away with that”. We were forced to order an adults meal when we didn’t want to (apparently kids meals are only for children up to the age of 8). So, I guess even 9 and 10 year olds have to order an adults meal? I mean, we’ve been ordering a kids meal for my now 12 year old since he was 8 and haven’t been pulled for it? Seems a ploy to make more money. We also couldn’t order just a roll and fritter, we had to order a portion (3)- very expensive at £3.95. Ended up with extra, unwanted food because we were made to order it. My 12 year old is not a big eater, so if I want to receive a smaller portion at a smaller price, what is it to them? Macaroni cheese was far too sickening, fish wasn’t as good as it used to be (we’ve believed this for a while now). We’ve been very loyal to this place (we’ve had our complaints, and chose to put them to one side). Won’t be back
