Proper basic old fashioned service and first class fish and chips. Opted to eat here rather than eat late and pay over the top for questionable food at the Thainstone Hotel. Excellent decision, loved it

Fish restaurant attached to a very popular chip shop. Fish is always fresh and cooked perfectly in crisp batter. They also do an excellent steak with chips, mushrooms, tomato, onion rings and salad. Mine was cooked as requested and enjoyed very much. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

We were playing on forres for the British Pipe band Championships and decided to stop in Inverurie on the way back to Dundee and stopped at the Ashvale chippie and the service was excellent, there were 20 of us and we were in and out in about 20 minutes, great service and great food. they also had clean toilets which is a relief after sitting n a bus for a couple of hours.

Called in for fish and chips as a treat .FOOD very disappointing .Having ran a chip shop for nearly 16 years .Chips not cooked long enough fish was crispy on the outside batter uncooked inside.Ordered 4 fish suppers 3 drinks 2 kids meals 2 slush 2gravy 1 curry 1 peas.(we had 4 gravy no peas or curry) JUST OVER £79 .Fish and chips is now a luxury its not a cheap meal.So people deserve a good meal .Not impressed all went in the bin hot dog kids meal ok

Welcoming staff, clean and presentable and excellent food, we all tried something different from the menu and everyone enjoyed their meals, the portions were generous even the kids meals! The fish and chips was amazing, not greasy at all and the curry sauce had a lovely tingle! Would definitely recommend, next time we are back in town we will definitely think about returning 😍👍

Not what it used to be. £3.50 for a small portion of chips to make my chicken fillets a supper. Chicken fillets are not what they used to be. Small, processed shape, tasteless and not sure what the coating is. Not breaded or battered. £8.50 total.

Had fish and chips here yesterday fish was awful soft batter like rubber not many chips either they were dry as sticks very disappointed l complainted to the staff l didnt think the fish was fresh it should be very white and flake off it came apart in lumps total waste of money for 2 people price.They need to review that chef 4.30pm on the 24th of November public not willing to pay for that for that standard l would not recommend.

We had never been to this Ashvale before. We had always been to the original restaurant in Aberdeen.. The Inverurie one is much smaller but clean and nicely decorated. The haddock in breadcrumbs was absolutely delicious. I felt the chips and tinned peas let it down somewhat

The food was substandard, the chips were disgusting, not a single chip was free of black bits, crazy when your whole business runs on selling fish and chips! The mushy peas weren’t good either, £15 for a standard haddock! The “milkshakes” were just some sort of flavoured foam, there’s no way they had any ice cream in them, they weren’t even cold! Also £3 for a can of Sprite is daylight robbery! We definitely won’t be back.

Haven't been here for a while and it has had a makeover in the meantime. One of us went for the Tea Time Flyer, which offers a choice of popular main courses (haddock in this case) with chips, sides (mushy peas in this case), a pot of tea and bread and butter for £16.50. Very good value at today's prices. The second person took the "reduced portion" TTF (amusingly titled on the receipt as an OAP haddock) and was chuffed to discover the fish was not that much smaller, the portions of chips and (garden) peas did not seem very reduced, and the bread and butter and tea matched their big cousins equally in size and quality ... all-in price, this time, £12.95. The food came very quickly, everything was fresh and clean, and the service from Chloe was pleasant, helpful and skilled. We felt very welcome and well-fed. The toilets were very clean and well-stocked with toilet paper etc. This Ashvale now includes old pictures of different times in the restaurant's place, just off the town square. Fascinating to see the changes in place and the way people dressed and were transported. One of the pictures has been turned into a whole-wall mural at the back, where the door to the toilet is. This was fascinating and a great idea, except for one small thing... the signs for the toilets are small and perched above the door because part of the mural is actually on the door. We could see why this was done and we were OK with it because we'd been before (and we loved the bigger picture). However, at busy times, it might be difficult to spot the facilities. It you are reading this in the restaurant, it's the door in the middle of the mural! Fabulous experience for a quick early dinner. Forgot to check when the TTF finishes, but we were there around tea time. Hope that helps.

Myself, my daughter and my grandson have had dinner there before heading to Inverurie Panto, every year for several years. There are other very good places to eat in Inverurie but The Ashvale has become a tradition for us. We have never been disappointed with anything. The food is delicious,the staff are all excellent and the atmosphere always makes us feel good. Please keep doing exactly what you have been doing now for several years.

Have ordered online for delivery a few times recently and although the time requested seems to always move out by 30 mins, the orders have always arrived piping hot. The onion rings are out of this world, topped off with some curry sauce, they make a fine treat! The delivery drivers are always friendly and everything comes wrapped individually which is great.
