Taste of Argyll kitchen in Argyll & Bute

On arriving and seeing the McD-style ordering screens we weren't too hopeful. But the options were good and the process straightforward, just enter table number per the markers next to the screen and take it with you to a spare table. Hot drinks came quickly, and food not much longer. We just had breakfast/brunch. Staff are excellent; constantly clearing tables and wiping them down for the next occupants.

Friendly staff, swift service, great food. Top Spoons..

Review of The Lido Chip Shop (Helensburgh) Pizza – A Shadow of Its Former Glory** For over **30 years**, The Lido Chip Shop’s pizza was legendary—a cut above the usual chip shop fare. Their original recipe had the **perfect balance** of a thick, doughy base, a rich, tangy red sauce, and **loads of deliciously melted cheese** that made it stand out. It was a local favourite for a reason—every bite was packed with flavour, and you could tell it was made with care. Sadly, **things have changed**. The new version uses different ingredients, and now it’s just… **average**. The cheese is no longer as generous, the sauce lacks its old depth, and the base doesn’t have that same satisfying chew. It’s not *bad*—it’s still an okay chip shop pizza—but compared to what it once was, it’s a **huge letdown**. If you never had the original, you might think it’s fine. But for those of us who remember how good it was, the new version just doesn’t compare. **Bring back the old recipe!** **Rating: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5) – Used to be 5/5, now just another bland chip shop pizza.** *Still hoping they’ll go back to the original way—nothing else in town came close!* --- **Anyone else miss the old Lido pizza?
