The Chippy Doon The Lane in South Lanarkshire

Friendly, helpful staff. Reasonably priced food (10 quid for fish supper and drink). Good size portions. Pretty tasty also!

Friendly service but not enough to make up for the very poor quality food and it’s ridiculously over priced. £18 for a fish supper and sausage supper

I never leave reviews but felt I had to on this one due to the standard of the food. I want to say first of all that the lady who served me, couldn’t have been nicer. She was lovely! Unfortunately the food really let this place down. I ordered only a portion of chips, they honestly tasted like they had been re heated and were chewy to eat with hardly any potato in them. Had I not taken them back to the car to eat them I would have taken them back. I think I managed about 4 and binned the rest. The place only had one other customer as well so it wasn’t like business was causing an issue with the food.

Ridiculous prices, ignorant rude staff and shocking food. If I could have gave it zero stars I would. Do not use!!

Steakpie supper fritters Single pizza crunch 2 Cans of Pepsi out of multi pack Left overs reheats from the previous night Absolutely disgusting Very dry ..

I got the lunchtime Sausage Supper with 1 sausage. The chips were mediocre. The sausage was quite poor quality and the batter was soggy.. None of it was particularly fresh and tastes like it had been sitting for quite some time. I had sandwiches in my bag but decided I was going to treat myself. In hindsight I would have rather just have ate my sandwiches and kept my £4.50. It's not really terrible but it's not really very good either.

Went here for dinner and got a fish supper and a sausage supper.The fish supper was full of bones and couldn’t eat it plus was nearly sick and the sausage supper tasted like it was sitting for ages, the batter on the sausage was very chewy and tough.I would not rate this place at all and would definitely walk past it next time.

Overpriced under cooked food. Do yourself a favour and walk straight past.

Just been in got a medium portion of chips, a chips and cheese & a chips and cheese with curry sauce and 2 bottles of coke was charged £16 odd pound! The cheese had a weird taste too it & my partner found 2 longish hairs in his!! Waste of money & very off putting!

Got a hamburger supper thinking it would cost around 4.50 to £5 when paying it turned out to be £6, very expensive and batter was undercooked.

£6 for a 500ml diet coke and a slice of pizza crunch. A little excessive eh? Judging by the reviews I'm not the only one this has happened to.

Took the Grandchildren after visiting the Vue cinema and treated them to a portion of chips 🍿 and a bottle of Red Cola - they demolished the treat - big 👍 to the Corner Chippy 😀

Got a single sausage thought it was a bit pricy at £4 when outside it says £3.50 for ALL SUPPERS it doesn't add up. Bad service

Good service good value good chips

Batter was no where near cooked enough still raw. Not very good at all

The guy is so friendly and the foods great

If you are on a night out and want to give yourself food poisoning after the pubs shut then this is the chippy for you.

Not easy to find but worth it. Friendly service & haddock supper was delicious. Half price with groupon.

I seen him also shout at the pigeon and then took him round the back, god only knows what happened, will not be back am off to greggs

Really not so good tasted like reheat

Had sausage supper out of here once and that was once too many times greasy soggy not fit to eat

We were there when it opened and it filled up quickly. Had the fish supper and hubby had the steak and ale pie. Both were great. Nice atmosphere. Looks like a dive outside but nice inside. Good service too.

Really greasy fried fish and it made me feel sick for hours afterwards.

Black pudding supper after an afternoon of beer - tasty business

The lady has a baby In her chip shop and I seen mould on the grill and I hope this place get shut down

One of the nicest chippys in Hamilton.

Always good, family run business

Loved it and very cheap too. Great if out and about in Hamilton.

It was friendly quick service and the food was great yummy.

Great chips and potato fritters

Non fatevi ingannare dall'ingresso un po' dimesso e in fondo a un vicoletto. Il locale è al primo, il personale è gentile e disponibile. Il cibo ottimo. Fish and chips da provare. Ambiente informale.

This was the best fish and chips I have ever eaten. We made a reservation, which I recommend, because it gets quite busy. When we walked down the lane and saw the restaurant we were a bit nervous, because from the outside, it looks like a little hole in the wall, but when you enter, it's a lovely surprise. Candles on the tables and walls, high ceilings, welcoming staff and a cozy atmosphere.

Came here on a Wowcher deal. £36 for 4 fish suppers and 2 bottles of wine. A great deal and 2 of the 4 in the party enjoyed their food. I don’t like fish but they were very happy to swap to haggis. The staff were friendly and happy to assist however the food was very greasy and the haggis has too much batter. I’m gutted because I had heard so many good things about this place and was so looking forward to trying. Each to their own I suppose.

My brother and his wife ate here in 2010 while on a tour and recommended it to me. 8 years later, I wasn't expecting it to live up to their raves BUT happily can report that they were right on the mark! Don't let the entrance put you off. It literally is doon the Lane which is darkish, a bit dirty and probably scarey if on your own. Once you go through the door and up the stairs, it is the difference between chalk and cheese! Jody, our waitress was pleasant and courteous. We recommended it to others on our tour and they to enjoyed it.

Did a day trip from Edinburgh and after reading the recommendation for this place in Lonely Planet spend 15 minutes trying to find it. Down an alley but worth finding. Really enjoyed the meal and the glass of wine.Staff were pleasant even though it was a Saturday lunchtime.

We attended Chippy doon the lane for a meal pre a gig. Firstly they did not have the drinks we ordered, yet they were on the menu. We waited 25 minutes for a starter. The main course was almost 1 hour wait - for fish and chips!!. A chip shop can make it fresh in 10 - 15 minutes. I approached the manager who said because we had a starter it holds up the main course!!!. They had also run out of haddock!!!. Customers were turned away as they were too busy. I counted 16 people in the restaurant. I am yet to understand why it takes almost 1 hour to prepare a simple meal in a virtually empty restaurant. The starters were nice. The staff seemed dis interested in the fact many customers were complaining. We will not be back.

lift not working . lane entrance disgusting. toilets disgusting floors were like a swimming pool fish was swimming in grease not impressed at all wont be back

Great idea serving fish n chips the old (and in my opinion the only) way - in a newspaper. Even better value if you have s voucher.

I visited on a Friday night around 6pm, we only needed a table for 2 but there was a 20 minute wait. It wasn't too long, but if they could have found us a seat we could've had a drink while we waited, perhaps the management could think about this.

New to Glasgow and hungry i was walking around and down a dim alley saw a blue sign on its end. Turning my head through 90 degrees I read "The Chippy Doon the lane". Along a grubby lane and then a concrete stairs and found an emporium dedicated to "fish and chips". Really good food and friendly staff, I will be back.

Wonderful bite to eat after work or saturday afternoon - small place but food is great and service is spot on

after a hard days shopping with the wife called in for a fish tea. both of us chose the haddock suppers supplemented with a bottle of wine. the fish could not have been fresher & accompaniments were very good. staff excellent & will be back

Have left previous reviews (had wedding breakfast here) but back recently to celebrate 2 year anniversary. Delicious as always and...

This was our fourth visit to Glasgow to meet up with friends from a previous holiday. They introduced us to...

Nos topamos con este lugar por accidente, pero era justo lo que necesitábamos después de un día de turismo. Auténtica Experiencia y buen pescado y patatas fritas en un tiempo fuimos el ascensor no funcionaba, así que donde sin duda hambre cuando alcanzamos la cima.

Quick and convenient. Located in town centre and is pedestrianised. Close to paid parking. Friendly staff

Agradable y comida fresca y una buena selección de pescado mejor que chip precios tienda buena también. . Sin duda merece la pena ir

La mayoría de los comentarios recientes aquí son para el Chippy Doon Lane en el centro de Glasgow. No abrir una en Hamilton por un tiempo, pero parece ser cerrado la última pocas veces pasamos.

The service and food were excellent, couldn't fault any of it, BUT, THE LANE!!!!It's absolutely disgusting with hundreds of cigarette ends and overflowing bins that need the rubbish taken away. It's a poor entrance all the way to the top of the stairs and sadly it has put me off going back!

we enjoyed the food fish was a bit mushy but chips were excellent. the entrance to the restaurant was not very nice and were steep steps to get in and lift was broken but would eat here again.

We stopped in for lunch while touring Glasgow and it was great. Good value, great service, tasty fish and chips. The place was very busy but we had our meals in a very short time and were not rushed out the door after we finished. Not fine dining by any means but a quick, good meal.

Seven of us .... a mixed lot....a Scot from USA ...USA & Canadian Nationals...and myself a Scot from Wales..In the dark of night it's not the most inviting...still we venture down the lane through the door and up the steps...The girls made us so welcome and were friendly helpful and chatty...❤️ Holly was smashing and went along with the banter ✅❤️They say you always find the place you want when it's time to go home...The visiting guys loved the place... and the service from the girls... and the effective simplicity in decor...AND all the food was tasty... Haggis/Prawn/Cod/Salad/macaroni - starters and mains - we were the last to leave.....no complaints here

We had the lunch deal, fish tea with two glasses of wine. Fish was fresh, tasty, delicious and so were the chips. The tartare sauce is hands down easily the best iv ever tasted ! We also ordered some bread which was fresh and gravy which wAs also great. Loved Glasgows vibe, cosy and comfy! With two glasses of wine it was excellent value for money !! Will definitely return to here or the one in Glasgow !

I wouldn't go back Took my aunt and even she didn't rate it very good For all it's advertising of being nice. The fish when eating was like left overs from day before The staff were nice and very accommodating.

This is a great place for a quiet meal fish tea was excellent and staff were very helpful and polite please give this a go

Went here on 25.10.16 on way to see The Specials had the fish tea my wife had haddock both were fresh tasty and excellent staff were friendly and very helpful truly wonderful food

Recommended by a person we met at dumbarton castle. She told us to get a bus after we returned our rental car from Glasgow Airport to downtown Glasgow. We did and the special was dinner for 2 with wine of your choice, huge piece of halibut n French fries(chips). Wonderful meal n atmosphere. Enjoyed our trip n dinner in the city. Cost-16.80 GBP. Not bad price for excellent food!

Installé au fond d'une impasse, ce restaurant aux grands volumes a revêtu un petit air post industriel tout en sobriété. Côté déco, c'est réussi donc.L'accueil est bon et même si les tables se remplissent vite, les clients n'en souffrent.Côté cuisine, on y vient surtout pour le célèbre "fish ans chips", typique de l'Ecosse. Ici c'est la spécialité et il est servi à tour de bras. Le poisson est frais, et la petite sauce aux échalotes qui l'accompagne vous ravira surement les papilles.L'un de nous a choisi un autre plat (riz et crevettes en sauce) : décevant, fade et sans saveur. Il est surement préférable de s'en tenir à la spécialité de la maison!

Excellent fish and chips. Fresh, hot and plenty of it. Staff friendly and service very good. Don't be put off that it's down a back lane.

Not a very warm welcome .. More empty and cold and wondering if this really was a Chippy? Sat in and waited ... Staff were talking and conversing around the only other table occupied... We felt like a spare tyre... Food: Fish was a bit too greasy but the major let down was the chips... too dry! (Are these fresh homemade)? Restaurant lacks appeal -

I visited Chippy Doon the Lane with 2 friends that I had brought to visit my home town. One of the girls was desperate to try a Haggis Supper and I had been boasting about the good suppers you get in Glasgow.When we arrived at the restaurant, that had been recommended to us by a guy in the street, it was closing for the evening. The lovely waitress, Laura, was so lovely and sympathetic once we explained that my friends were tourists and desperate to try good Scottish Chippie food. She asked us to wait and spoke to the chefs, who, bless them, were cleaning the kitchen down. They were more than happy to cook for us and Laura sat us down to some of the best fish and chips I have had. We enjoyed being able to have wine etc with our meal and even though we were the only ones left in the restaurant it never felt uncomfortable.The ambiance and whole atmosphere of the place is great and Laura was amazing and we would like to thank her for staying on when everyone had left so we could have our suppers. She is was so welcoming, helpful and attentive. She truly is an asset to this place.Thank you to the chefs, we wanted to buy them a beer as a thank you but they had gone and a big thank you to Laura for helping us out and avoiding what could of been a big disappointment for my friends.You have to visit this place if you are in Glasgow!

Went with a mate for lunch and had a lovely fish tea which was reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and attentive

Was gutted to discover this establishment has closed down with no hint of this on their website or fb page! Very disappointed and hungry!!

Certainly worth a visit. The food is excellent and my fish in particular was definitely the best ever. The restaurant was practically empty when we arrived (at around 7.30pm on a Friday night) and I am mystified as to why that should be. This place is worthy of a bigger clientelle and I for one will certainly be back soon.

Been to the chippy in Glasgow a few times and always enjoyed the food and thought we would give the one in Hamilton a chance. Monday to Thursday they do two fish suppers for £12 and that is exactly what we had. The restaurant itself is surprisingly spacious inside with several tables and also booths. The place was pretty empty when we arrived and we ordered two haddock suppers. The portions were large and the chips nice and crispy. I personally found the fish had very little taste although my better half said hers was fine. Drinks are reasonable with a pint of lager £3.60 and a glass of wine about £4. I don't think I would rush back but it was ok.

Had a lovely fish tea my daughter had burger which she said was very tastie.I will be back with my family as it was a very nice welcome young lady.

Returned yesterday for a wee fish tea, was lovely as usual, great service, nice staff and a bargain at £5.95 what more could you ask for xx

Visited the "highly rated" ( according to local press)place last night.was booked for 25 of us for 6.30pm.Upon arrival the tables were not even set up,we had to stand aside to allow staff to do this! finally seated and could not believe the length of time we waited for food and drinks to arrive.This was a family celebration and quite frankly wasted the evening for us.We were finally served our food after the order being taken for a second time at 7.50 pm when 3/4 of our company were almost finished their meals.Food was ok but I certainly will never be back,Dissapointed is an Understatement.U try to support local businesses and this is what u get!!!

We saw the owner of this place enthusiastically talk it up on Glasgow's Riverside Show so we thought we'd give it a go. My wife and I took our six year old there for Sunday dinner, arriving around 4.30pm. As we entered the only people in the place were the three members of staff sitting on a couch near the door. The got up as we walked in but the reception was frosty at best. Unfortunately that was as good as it got and we spent the entire meal feeling rather unwelcome and a bit of an inconvenience. The food for the most part was ok. Being a chippy the bar is not set too high anyway but the chips did seem like they may have been frozen and the side order of onion rings was frankly disgusting, tasting like it had been fried in very old fat. We were all a little disappointed that the vinegar of choice was malt rather than 'chippy' style and we finished up quickly and left vowing this would be our last visit.Any establishment has one shot at keeping a customer and good service goes a very long way to fostering loyalty, even if the food is just ok. After our experience we're in no doubt as to why the only other member of the public we saw on our visit was a woman asking if her son could use the loo.We also thought it rather telling that as we left the woman who had cooked our food returned from outside carrying what looked very much like a takeaway from another establishment.Not recommended I'm afraid. We won't be back.

For food and value this was just as good as the one in Glasgow, but brighter and airier. We will certainly be returning.

After reading a Newspaper review about this place decided to try the Takeaway option.The inside of the restaurant is a bit underwhelming to say the least.The takeaway (2 x Cod & 1 x Haddock) not the best.The Cod did not look anything like the picture and the accompanying chips appeared to be reheats.Will not use again.

I had heard this restaurant was worth a visit but sadly proved to be a mistake. This is just a café with no atmosphere and very uncomfortable seating. The fish tea although reasonably priced was mediocre and the bread wasn't the freshest. The young blond girl who served our table was friendly, but sadly this is the only positive comment I can make. There's much better places to eat in Hamilton.

Went to this fine restaurant in Hamilton was served by a fine young man named Dillon he was outstanding for one so young looked after our table with excellence the rest of the team on duty where also first class would return and the food was fab.

Food was tasty and very well priced you can't go wrong and the staff where great with the kids 5 star

I had a great fish supper which filled me up for a fair price. This is a nice restaurant which sells alcohol. there is also parking near by.

I went there with my daughter for a meal, she had been 3 times and this was to be my second visit. First time was great, this time was a disaster. I ordered haddock and was served with 3 small pieces, 2 were greasy and the third had been burnt to a crisp, it had obviously been cooked previously. Inside the dark thick batter was about 1 inch of grey fish, I queried whether it was hadock and was told it was but I think I was served coley and not haddock, they then gave me a free glass of white wine for me and my daughter had red. Unfortunately, Dylan, who served us, was very clumsy and spilt the red wine which covered my daughter's cashmere sweater, which later she had to destroy and splashed onto my woolen coat which I now have to have dry cleaned. This was the second time Dylan was clumsy, the previous time my daughter went there, he dropped a hot fish onto her silk skirt while serving her, very clumsy indeed. They did not offer to have them cleaned. They have lost a good few customers now as my son, his friend and father went there also but none of us will be going back.

After we were seated it was over 15 minutes until we were approached for food or drink orders. It then took over an hour to let us know that there was only one fryer working and then it took another 10 mins or so til the food arrived. The food was decent. Average. Did not receive bread with the fish suppers which. Customers who arrived after us also got their food served a good while before us. There was also several young children (seemed like they could be related to some members of staff) running around the restaurant and making noise. They also sat in the booth behind us and ordered a dominos pizza, which one of the waiting staff paid for, then recieved this order and began eating in the booth behind us whilst we were eating our own meal. Shocking!Service overall was ok although it doesn't have a good atmosphere

This is my fourth visit to this new Hamilton restaurant and unfortunately, I will not be back. The first two visits were good. Lovely fresh white fish in a golden, crispy batter. Chips not so great and seemed to be frozen chips rather than fresh chips. I noticed the place lacked in atmosphere and the staff did not look the happiest bunch. I even noticed one blonde waitress texting on her phone in full view of the customers, which I didn't find very professional. During my third visit, Dillon served my boyfriend and I, and on bringing the fish suppers to the table he dropped my dinner onto my skirt, which is pure silk, and has left an oil stain on it. This will need to be dry cleaned. No sincere apology was made nor an offer to have it cleaned for me. I was reluctant to return after this however, my mum wanted to go so I went with her this afternoon. She ordered Haddock, and it clearly wasn't Haddock. We mentioned it to Dillon. He checked with the chef who insisted it was. Anyway, as my mum wasn't happy we were offered a free drink. He brought over our wine, and spilled a full glass of red wine all over my Cashmere sweater and over my mum's coat. He is obviously very clumsy as this is the second time he has damaged my clothes. Once again, no sincere apology, no offer to have my sweater or my mum's coat cleaned. We will not be back. My sweater is ruined. The worst customer service I have ever received in a restaurant.

This is the place to go, if you want a delicious Fish tea! Only £4. 95, for the most gorgeous haddock in a light and crispy batter, hand cut chips, bread and butter, and tea or coffee. Delicious. Would recommend anyone in area to pop in, they won't be disappointed! Thanks to the lovely staff too, couldn't do enough for you :) xxx

After hearing that chippy doon the lane was great we thought we'd give it a try. Big mistake!! The atmosphere wasnt very nice and although the staff werent rude they weren't very friendly or welcoming. My father had the fish which didnt look too bad but my husband, mother and myself had the sausage which for a start was well over priced and when it arrived the batter was very dark in colour and was solid which to me it loooked and tasted like a reheat - after trying to bite through the batter i thought I'd have to take a trip to the dentist, defo grudged every penny of the £30 bill we paid. Safe to say we won't be back!!!

Situated next to Hamilton Palace, we went in to try the fish tea. All meals are served in small cardboard boxes. The fish tea included fish which was coley, lots of chips, bread and butter and tea or coffee. It is great value at £4.95. The fish was nice but I think it is worth paying a couple of pound extra for either cod or haddock. Menu has the usual choices and is reasonably priced. It also has a drinks licence.

Wife, two kids and I visited on a very wet Saturday afternoon. The place was quiet, possibly due to the weather but that worked to our advantage. Younger son and I had pizza which was ok but I'll stick with fish in future as it never lets me down. We had chips with the pizza and they were magic. My older son had cod and chips and it was cooked to perfection. My wife had haggis supper which was very tasty. We all had a soft drink and the bill came to under £40.Have been to the Glasgow restaurant many times and the decor in Hamilton doesn't quite match up to that of Glasgow's place. Service was very good, just don't feel that the place is quite ready to compete with the Glasgow branch. Having said this I'd still eat here any time I'm in Hamilton. I may be wrong but I'd disagree with an earlier reviewer who suggested the chips were of the frozen variety, I'm quite sure they're not.

First time here and will be the lastI had haddock supper, my husband had Stornoway black pudding, my son had chicken goujons. Where do I start the food came out my sons goujons were like rubber the batter on my fish was very dark in colour not nice flavour think the fryers need a good clean we had to ask for our side order of onion rings then our bread and butter then our two teas .when we were eating our meal there were two young lads with outdoor clothes on just wondering in and out of kitchen not very hygienic .then when we gt our bill we were charged for 2 portions of onion rings when we ordered one we were told that is was the tills fault. Oh and don't expect real potato chippy chips as I saw the very young chef with a large bag of frozen chips .a pure waste of money

We had the fish tea which includes fish and chips, tartar sauce, bread and butter and tea or coffee all for the incredible price of only £4.95! The fish was excellent with crispy batter and the chips were also very good. The fish is coley which is similar to cod. The restaurant is situated at the corner of the Hamilton Palace complex on Keith Street with ample parking in the car park opposite.The service was excellent - you would be crazy not to try it!
