The Chippy By Spencer in Edinburgh, City of

Probably the best fish and chips in town. Haggis is also highly recommended 🥰

Very friendly staff and absolutely amazing food, I’d definitely go again and would recommend

Probably the best chippy I’ve ever been to. Really lovely genuinely friendly fellas, huge variety of food, incredible meal - 10/10.

The dude recognised me and remembered my order after I'd been there twice! Excellent food, excellent service.

The mixed selection is the best creation of any chippy ive ever been to. Every item is delicious and you get a good amount of all the various bits and the tartar sauce is a nice restaurant standard. Without a doubt best fish and chips Edinburgh has to offer

Heard from a good friend about this chip shop, I drove to the other side of the city to try it and was not disappointed! I was impressed with how quickly we were served as they were notably busy - all food was made fresh in front of us. I’m not normally a fish guy but we had fresh soft and tasty fish, freshly made pizza with plenty topping & a smoked sausage supper! Will be back again soon, thanks for sorting us out with a quality dinner on a Saturday night

Ordered fried squid and fried shrimp, fresh and delicious The store is clean, tidy and bright Will come again next time

You know you are in for a treat when you don't see the fish on display 😅...I panicked cause I thouht they were sold out but I was relieved when I heard my order will be freshly prepared. Best chippy in town😋👌

Not really a place to dine in, only one table but the food was really good. I tried haggis for the first time as a supper (with chips); the haggis came in the most lovely light batter & although I don’t particularly like lamb, I enjoyed it with the chippy sauce which cut the greasy/lamb taste quite effectively.

Decent crispy batter on fish but contents a bit thin.

Greasy, oily, undercooked batter and chips that were chewy.

Good food at a fair price.. :) I recommend the first item - buttered fish with chips. Generally, they expect you to take your food to go, but there is also a corner where you can eat on-site if you want.

Great place, great food would recommend for anyone looking for great food.

Great traditional chippy, lovely food and friendly and chatty staff. A local gem

The black pudding fritters are phenomenal and so is the chutney. A meal that is sure to make any man feel invincible.

The food is incredible and I love the fact they separate the chips from the main. So crispy. Sometimes I feel that chippy chips are not that good because they have been sitting out forever but this place does it made to order and it’s the best chippy I’ve ever been to. But they should have more seats

After a long drive up from England to Edinburgh it was a pleasant surprise to find a chatty Englishman serving great fish and chips . The food was great and cooked to perfection. I will be back in the future and will recommend to anyone I know coming up here for a break or work trip .

The owner who was on the line is a horrible man. A real scumbag who bullies customers and delivers weak food. The food was so bad that we just dumped it in a tesco dumpster. The review ratings are totally a sham. Definitely used a service to boost ratings... Avoid at all costs.

Gross. Go down the road to Cafe Piccante for a better experience.

The best fish and chips in Edinburgh. Food is delicious and has a quality of a good restaurant. Batter is outstanding, fluffy and crispy at the same time 🤤

Amazing as always! Definitely made with love 😋

Amazing food. Had when I went to Edinburgh on holiday, it was stunning. Can’t wait to eat there again.

Food pretty poor. Fritters were greasy. Pizza was under cooked. Good service and okay atmosphere.

Phenomenal food (not just the fish and chips!) and good-natured staff. Would recommend, the awards they got are deserved.

Fast and friendly service but the food was a bit too oily for my liking.

Excellent. Fantastic fish and chips and delicious burger with wonderful onion rings. Super. Double super 👍 👍

Amazing food and service. Huge portion sizes. Tartar was delicious, haggas spring rolls were great. Very fresh food.

So delicious we went twice on a one week trip! It's a chip shop, so mostly takeaway, or there's one little table. Sadly there's no park near that is open to the public as far as I know. But all that doesn't matter when the fish and chips are so good!!

Best fish and chips I’ve had in Scotland, and the staff were the kindest too! 10/10

Got the vegan fish and chips. So good!!

Really good! A bit worried it would be cold as it’s quite far from me, but the reviews are good so we went for it. Definitely the best chippy we have had in a while- and hot!

We got the fish and chips and the fried haggis. They asked if we want vinegar and salt on top. The fish was HUGE and really crispy. The inside was flaky and not dry. The fries on the other hand weren't my favorite. They weren't crispy but the inside was really pillowy. But they were really generous with the portion size. The fried haggis was eye openingly delicious. It was my first time having haggis and boy I was not disappointed. It was super soft like pate and tasted slightly like it too. Loved the crispy contrast of the outside. Overall I would recommend this place for the fresh fried fish and the fried haggis. The two making the food at the counter are also super nice and friendly.

Delicious fish and chips. Very good batter and spectacular potatoes

Absolutely delicious fish and chips. Very kind and helpful staff. We were even able to dine in at the one table they have! Not to be missed if you’re in Edinburgh.

Much cheaper to order direct than using deliveroo but sadly all of our chips were undercooked and pretty hard to eat. Good fish though

My 1st fish&chips in the UK and it was amazing.

Without exaggeration, the best fish and chips of my life! The fish falls apart in your mouth and the tartar sauce is amazing. Unfortunately you can't sit down there.

We were craving fish and chips, so we went to Chippy by Spencer. Fish was too good

Visited for my first smoked sausage supper and it did not disappoint!! In town from Australia and the gentleman who served me was so lovely and made my experience even better by giving me loads of brown sauce. Thank you so much!!!! I'll be back on my next visit.

Really nice fish and chips! We will definitely come back!

Best fish and chips in edinburgh

excellent quality hot and tasty food. The fish was amazing x

I’m not the one to leave a review but I have to at this place. I ordered fish and chips and by far the best one I’ve tried. Batter’s light and crispy the fish is nice and fresh same with the chips. Everything was great! Definitely will be back before I leave Edinburgh.

Went for a fish and chips and this place didn’t disappoint. So much better than my locally chippy in London. The customer service is extremely friendly and the fish melted in my mouth. This is a must-go to place in Edinburgh.

We were greeted by a very friendly man when we walked in and our order was taken and ready within 6 min. The place was spotless, the staff very friendly and the fish and chips were so fresh and good. Sad we tried this out last day here otherwise there would have been a second trip.

This should be a 5. Everything is fresh. The menu is very broad and inventive. Its a little gem. I'm so happy I found it. Its easy to miss it. Awesome.

I have had fish and chips in Canada that were outstanding. These were very greasy. I would not rate these as good fish and chips personally.

Order arrived quickly. Fish and chips were decent but fish wasn't as crispy a batter as expected from your usual fish and chips takeaway. Miniscule amount of tartare sauce I would have expected a bit more. Did come with a good amount of salt and vinegar packs though. Curry sauce was okay but the gravy was really runny and quite tasteless.

Had the Battered Haddock, Chips, Homemade Tartare Sauce and other half tried the Haggis spring rolls and curry sauce! Absolutely everything was banging! So tasty, properly freshly cooked and really good value! Highly recommend!

Top notch batter, cooked to order.

My first meal in Edinburgh and I couldn't be more pleased! Absolutely lovely service from the young man at the till, and from the rest of the team as well. I had the Battered Haddock supper with curry sauce and it was absolutely delicious! Will definitely be recommended to any friends travelling to Edinburgh!!

Wonderful Fish and Chips! Our mix was super fresh and the kids menu was delicious! There is nothing left!

Great food,one of the best chippy's about and friendly staff

Really tasty haddock and chips.

Exceptionally nice crew; they seem to have known exactly that a stupid tourist was ordering while having no clue. They called me to fix the order. The delivery was on time, nice dude delivering. I had vegan fish & chips and it was delightful. First time trying it and I'm happy I did.

You get what you expect for a chippy

The staff were very kind and understanding, The food was amazing. Im vegan so i had the vegan burger- it was amazing and i could hardly tell it was vegan. And if you're a vegan you know some chips can be subpar! these however were delightful. crispy soft and yummy. Thank you so much for this experience 💗

Pricey but quality costs ,worth a visit

This is one of the tastiest fish and chips we've ever tasted! Delicious food and lovely folk, thank you :)

Absolutely gorgeous food! Amazing service, lovely staff. Best garlic mayo i’ve ever had! 10/10

Visiting from Scarborough so we have high expectations of fish and chips! These definitely met our expectations. Crisp batter, crisp and tasty chips. Deep fried haggis also delicious

We were visiting from Scarborough so have high expectations for fish and chips. This definitely met our expectations. Delicious, freshly cooked food with crispy batter and tasty chips. Fish and haggis both delicious. Good value too

Visited here and had a sausage supper, and I have to say it was one of the best chippie dinners we have ever had. Everything was freshly made for us, and the chips were perfectly crispy but soft inside and the batter on the sausages was perfect. We didn’t get the gentleman’s name who served us but he was lovely and was patient with me going back and ordering a drink and then going back and asking for more salt. 10/10 would recommend this place. We will be going back!

If you are visiting Edinburgh do not miss this place. The Chippy is a small, familly owned place, that offers quality food and services. The serving is fast and the food is delicious. The fish was great with a delicious crispy batter. Spencer's interpretation of the Haggis was also delicios, the best we had. Also tried the pizza and it was great. Spencer was very friendly and helpful. We definitely recommend this place.

Perfect pit stop in the center of Edinburgh. First class batter and beautiful homemade tartar. Spencer and Keith are true gents, would love to share a pint with them

Very greasy but the fish was really nice

Spencer himself patiently took our order and prepared pretty much the best fish supper I have had in 60 years in Scotland. The tartare sauce! Cannot recommend this place enough. Keep doing what you do.

delicious fish and crispy chips delivered quickly.

Online ordered the haddock and chips! Great tasting food, stayed warm and crispy despite a 15min walk in the rain back to my motel. Highly recommend. Would come back when visiting Edinburgh. Friendly service as well!

Excellent fish and chips and available for gluten and lactose intolerant! Well done!

The most delicious plate in Edinburgh Kiss from Greece

Excellent, nice food, hot and very quick delivery

Delicious food at a good price. Friendly staff.

The fish was hands down the best fish I have had outside of Shetland very good food, very reasonable price.

Food arrived super-quick, piping hot and was utterly delicious. Best chippy in Edinburgh.

The best fish ever, beats every chip shop!

Good food. Repeat customer. The best white pudding I’ve had from a fish & chip shop. Quick delivery. Thanks!

Lovely pizza and delivery driver was very nice and cheery

I've long tried to find fish and chips in Scotland that reminds me of what I used to get back in Yorkshire. The fish here is fresh and chunky and the batter is crispy and almost melts when you're eating it. It's some of the best I've had.

Just fantastic ! Just goes to show the English do the best fish and chips!! Looking forward to next time . Thank you for the service and fresh high quality food

tldr: The fish and chips there is amazing, you’ve got to try this with different sides! So I actually found this shop from Deliveroo when I was trying to order my dinner. Realizing that the shop is actually not that far away, I walked to the shop and order my food. The staff there is very nice and the food was made-to-order. It was still hot when I brought that back to my hostel. I enjoyed that very much and this will definitely become one of my favorite restaurants in Edinburgh. I wish I could give it 6 stars. Highly recommend!

Cheaper and better than their nearby competition. Come here and you won't be disappointed. Easily the best haggis I've ever had in a chippy

It was my last night snack in Edinburgh, and it was PERFECT. They fry it immediately after they got the order, which makes it sooo goooood. Pretty sure this is one of the best fish&chips in the world🤤👍 존맛탱임… 영국에서 먹었던 피시앤칩스 중에 제일 맛있었어요!!

Went to The Chippy for the first time this evening- ordered a fish supper, single fish and a pizza. The service was friendly and efficient. The pizza was of a good standard and the fish supper really was excellent- ‘The Chippy’ is very well deserving of it’s high google reviews. We will definitely be back!

Well presented and hot. Thought the fish was a bit small and a tad greasy for the money I paid.

Excellent as always. Best chippy in Edinburgh 🤞

Decent I don't eat chippies much but when I do this is the place .

Brand new place for us! 100% would recommend and will be trying again. The batter is to die for 🥳

Probably best chippy in Edinburgh (that I've tried) i visit Edinburgh every year and keep coming back, keep up good work 👍

This was our first fish & chips in the UK and it was beyond expectations! We loved the taste. freshness, generous portion and the people! Wish the owners all the best

One of the best chip shops in Edinburgh.

This has to be the best chippy I've ever had, excellent food and the battery is yo die for.

Beautifully cooked, nicely presented, best chippy in Edinburgh

Popped in for the first time. Was looking for something quick and the guy told me everything was cooked fresh. Decided to wait and it was worth the wait. Haggis and chips cooked fresh in less than 10 minutes. It was fantastic and will be back.

We had a slight problem with our order, which was dealt with swiftly and pleasantly. Thank you very much. Food was amazing. Highly recommended

I get fish and chips from the chippy every Friday and I can say it's very good 👍

The veggie haggis and vegan fish and chips were excellent. Despite being so busy, Spencer and his team took the time to be friendly to customers. Definitely recommend this place!

Great fish and chips as usual! Tried the jalapenos peppers and they were tasty and not too fiery. Will order those again.

24th of September, I was in Edinburgh as a tourist. I visited this restaurant after a lot of research online, and it didn't disappoint. Ordering was fast and simple, food ready in 5-10 minutes after perfect frying on the spot. The owners/employees were extremely polite and professional. Fish crispy and juicy, potatoes creamy. I would recommend not skipping vinegard, as I did. It is crucial to properly balance flavour and texture. Never had such an amazing experience with this specific dish. Prices are extremely low and I imagine the restaurant works really hard to keep prices affordable. Service was just as much as needed, and if you want you can eat inside at the small table available. Normally you shouldn't eat in at takeaways, so be reasonable if you find some crumbles on the table. If I ever return to Edinburgh it will be my first go to restaurant. Thank you!!!

I'm a yank and this was my first chippy experience. I would row back to Edinburgh on a wee boat just to experience the carnage 1 more time.
