The Friary in Highland

Friendly, all inclusive place to visit, with a great atmosphere, considerate staff and generous portions. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous food, they even battered the vege sausage for me, the piece of fish was big & the best onion rings ever! Young lady that served us was very pleasant ☺️ would highly recommend a visit if you're in the area

Excellent wee chippy. I come regularly and the place is fantastic. The new manager there is doing a great job, is so friendly and knows her stuff. The food is first class and very reasonably priced.

To be fair, both the fish and the chips were hot, well-cooked and tasted fresh. However, what self-respecting chippy charges extra for ketchup?!

This is a takeout only fish and Chip shop. Delicious with a choice between battered or breaded. We tried both and thought it was great. Friendly staff, quick service and great food.

Fantastic quality of food. We had fish and scampi supper and black pudding all were delicious! Highly recommend!

Great fish and chips shop. Really nice lady served us, explained about red sausage. Got to try fried Mars bar .. what a treat. Really nice food and service.

King rib supper was great the chips the best I've had in along time ..my sons batter sausage supper was gone in seconds he love it and my daughter chicken nuggets chips an curry sauce went down very well 💯 % will be back ..staff and owner were fabulous thanks again roddy 👍👍👍if you like a good supper this is the place 2 go 👍👍👍

Very, very delicious, I travel with my bike and I see it and I try to eat one meal. It was very delicious.

Best fish and chips in the area

Very small shop with delicious fish & chips, we had a little difficulty communicating, the vinegar thing didn't work, our sauce was missing, but the rest was great. Clear recommendation.

Highly recommend The Friary, have been coming here for years and the food has always been consistently great. My only complaint is sometimes it's difficult to get through on the phone, but this is simply due to them being very busy!

Super adresse recommandée par notre guest house. C'est trop trop bon. Le haddock est frais et la panure est excellente. C’est de loin le meilleur fish & chips que j'ai mangé. Petite glace chocolat caramel en dessert et pareil c’était vraiment bon. Le caissier a su nous expliquer la différence entre battered et breaded et a été patient avec nous. Service très rapide. Dommage que Beauly soit aussi loin de Paris ☺️

Excellent fish and chips. Top marks for their gluten free options.

Brilliant fish and chips. And I'm very fussy about them.

Highly Recommend The Friary in Beauly. Great team there, great food. Proper chips! Fast, organised service and friendly, helpful staff.

Used to enjoy the food and service from here, but for some reason the standards have slipped. Tried several times in last few months to phone in an order, but they appear to be ignoring the phone, so you have to go done and wait and they aren't quick. The food isn't so great these days either, last fish supper I got was overcooked. Come back Jackie, all's forgiven.

A great fish and chip shop. Fish and chips were excellent but I wish I had ordered the fish supper as the portion wasn't too big. Very tasty all the same. If you can phone your order through as it does get busy.

Lovely fresh food. Service was quick and staff were very polite.

I went in for fish and chips for me and my husband on my way home. I happened to mention we don't live locally and Connor kindly wrapped my food in foil to keep it warm till I got home. Food was really good and we will definitely go back. Great service. Go

Had the best chippie today from here. Food was fresh and crispy 👌 Staff were lovely too. The lad that was serving was so friendly. Will most definitely be back soon 😊👌

My wee boy and I decided a trip to beauly for tea as heard about the haggis special , absolutely loved it 😊 Well worth our jaunt ( even managed an ice cream ) Lovely bunch of girls in there tonight

Stopped in on Thursday after seeing photos of the friary hoagies on fb. Nice and hot and didn’t take long to cook, will be back for more. Piri chicken fillings were great with plenty inside the wrap :)

It’s a shame this was a very good chippy but the last six months the standard of food has gone down! Thought we would give benefit of the doubt and try again tonight and it’s still bad! Food tastes cheap and not cooked correctly. Shame they shouldn’t have changed anything as it was so good before !! I can’t fault the customer service as it’s always at a high standard shame about the food!

Very good. Good sized portions. Didn't have to wait too long. Sensible prices . Enjoyed very much indeed 👌 👍

The best chippy in the Highlands The food and the service first class.

Die besten Fish and Chips in der Umgebung von Inverness. Sehr lecker und frisch zubereitet. Wir hatten sowohl battered als auch breaded Fish. Einfach köstlich und sehr preiswert für die großen Portionen. Sehr freundliches Personal. Wenn wir wieder nach Inverness kommen, wird dies der erste Trip. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Hands down, one of the best chippies in Scotland. Compared to some award winning shops this one is up there and possibly better. Couldn't recommend them any less than I do!

Great F&C, nice chips, friendly staff

Hot cooked food cooked to order, great grub.

Very good local chip shop. All menu items cooked to order - and well worth the wait!

Excellent friendly service despite being extremely busy. Would not hesitate to return when I'm back in the area.

Opcions sense gluten els dimarts i dimecres

The freshest, crispiest beautifully cooked fish & chips cooked to order 😊 no food is ever sat around keeping warm and you can really tell. Very reasonably priced and big portion size. Smaller portion suppers are also available for those who eat less 😃 Have never spoken with the owner but all your staff members are a real credit to you and some of the friendliest people around! Don't miss a trip to this chippy.... Absolute best in the Highlands

Lovely fish and chips anytime we visit. Its a decent spot if you just want ice cream too as they have a variety of flavours .

Bought two large fish suppers and a mushy peas, there were no peas in the bag when I got home for starters. We have eaten here many times over the years, the chunky fish has become very thin and very disappointing. Such a shame, my wife’s fish was the same as mine unfortunately. I’m really disappointed as I was looking forward to fish and chips.

Great chipper fine food at good prices

We had a fab chippie tonight from the Friary. We were lucky to try the waffles which were amazing. The fish was lovely, and the kids loved their sausage supper. Thanks everyone for a friendly welcome and a super meal. 👌

Amazing fish and chips. Very friendly. Deserve to be awarded. Love from London

Good quality fish. Best chips locally among many we've tried.

Had the chicken burger, is was very good, chips are lovely too.

Got Orkney Pattie supper. Patties were nice, but lack the seasoning needed to qualify as Orkney patties.

Excellent fish and chips, good value.

The fish and chips here equal the best I have eaten in Scotland. Definately worth a visit. They have a large menu of other food and sell ice-cream too.

Delicious chicken and chips,cooked to perfection.

Our local chippy and a good one. Staff great and food too.

Fantastic local cafe! Always clean, staff very friendly and the cheesecake is phenomenal! Would definitely recommend!

First class fish, good size, cooked perfectly, light crisp batter, proper chips. Smiley nice service and good value. Excellent.

One of the bast fish and chips ever and definitely the best I had during my way around Nc500 and surrounded areas.

Always been good over the last 15 years or however long I've been coming here. Really enjoy their tartare sauce. Good portions.

Fantastic food. Fantastic service. What's not to like

The food was excellent, My whole family thoroughly enjoyed their meals during our holiday in Kiltarlity. We ordered using the app which was very easy and quick to use. Highly recommend!

Used to go there for years but it went badly downhill. Went there this year to see if its any better and had the best fish I've ever had from a chippy. Excellent all round, thoroughly recommended.

I come to Beauly at least once or twice a month purely to visit The Friary. I live in Inverness. I can honestly say hand on heart that this is the best Chippie I have ever eaten from in the Highlands! I also go to one in Nairn but still feel this one in Beauly is worth the drive. Not only is the food amazing but the staff who are always so busy never fail to smile, give you eye contact and even ask how you are doing. Gutted I haven't taken any pictures yet ...I keep forgetting but I promise to post some on the nxt visit. If you have never been and you are visiting the Highlands definitely go for a visit! My favourite is the Macaroni Pie Supper! Cheesy and Scrummy! Chips are always on point and cooked to perfection with a wee crispy feel to them here and there. Well done to an amazing bunch of people running it. You guys are smashing it out if the Park. My personal opinion and have visited many Fish and Chip shops on my travels. Mxx

Beautiful food cooked here,wouldnt go anywhere else,also the staff are all very friendly and helpful.

Looking for a takeaway after weekend at belladrum. I was recommended to try this local chip shop and was not disappointed. I had the king rib supper and it was cooked to perfection, lovely crispy batter and cooked from fresh by a lovely young lady. Friendly staff. Can’t fault the place and definitely will be back. Great value for money. Highly recommend.

My sausage was wrong and service was really slow.

Happy little place hidden away in beautiful Beauly, My family and I were in a couple nights ago as we were passing through Beauly on our travels and the smell of the chips were drawing us in. The staff are very helpful with explaining what there all is to order, they explained that they have 3!! different fish sizes we were blown away we ordered 2 standard fish and chips along with a small fish and chips for our son which only came to £23.60 for fish which may I add is cooked fresh to order AMAZING!! Beautifully cooked batter along with crispy chips with a lovely soft inside. We highly highly recommend this place for Family, Friends, Couples and many more.

everything prepared fresh. Fish was so fresh and tasty. Chips like I uses to get as a kid. friendly staff . amazingly clean and fresh. thank you

Nice little place, that makes a good fish and chips. We were passing through when we were on a guided tour and got the place recommended. Nice food and god service👍🏻

Had some fabulous Fish and Chips along with home made Tartare sauce , very tasty and not greasy would definitely reccomend

Great Food and Very Friendly Staff. Ordered a Fish supper, Cheeseburger supper, haggis supper, black and white pudding supper 10 minutes before i arrived and when I got there it was bagged up and ready. would recommend to anyone in Beauly at the time. Mon...

What a spectacular gem hidden up in the highlands. The fish and chips are utterly delightful. Ad someone with coeliac, the fact that I had the option to get fish and chips, I was thrilled. I admittedly didn't have high hopes being a smaller local...

The best fish and chips and ice cream for miles. Very reasonable pricing. You won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended.

Fabulous service, freshly cooked fish and chips and delicious. So good we visited twice over our holiday in the area. Everything we ordered was tasty and plentiful!

I can't praise this chip shop highly enough. We visited on the first night of our North Coast 500 trip and enjoyed it so much we returned on the last night. I can highly recommend the black pudding and white pudding suppers.

Prompt service and friendly chap keeping things moving along despite the Covid 19 regulations here. Tasty haddock and chips, good portion and I'd visit again if in the area.

We have been to this chippy a few times and enjoyed the food. This time while we waited outside, I noticed a sign in the window saying that when you place an order you are automatically charged 15p for a bag. I checked my receipt...

I use to go all the time when the old owners owned the shop but now that there is new owners the prices went up by a ton and the food got less great they hired a new chief he was great but now he...

Excellent fish & chips. The best I have ever tasted. Would recommend it any day. Nice and crispy fish and not greasy at all.

I called the Manager, Grant the day before to see if the "Wednesday gluten free" food was ACTUALLY gluten free. We're a family of coeliacs (not just gluten intolerant) and we've been caught out before with cross contamination. He assured me it was safe for...

Really tasty fresh fish and chips totally Gluten free on a Wednesday . Grant understands the coeliac condition and went out of his way to accommodate our needs which we thank him for . Will definitely return and can recommend to anyone that appreciates great...

Great little chippy. The food is cooked to order so you need to wait 5 or so minutes for it to be ready but it is worth it (definitely better than pre-cooked stuff that’s been kept warm). Plenty of parking just outside.

We don't live in Inverness but have been coming here twice a year for many years. Probably our favourite chip shop anywhere in the country who have never let us down.

A good fish and chip supper, lovely and tasty and fairly priced. Plenty of parking to pick up just outside.

Had a great fish supper , all cooked fresh to order , lovely crispy batter and perfect chips . Keep up the good work guys

Es hat hervoragend geschmeckt. Sehr zu Empfelen, sehr sauber freundliches Personal, kommen wieder vorbei beim nächsten tripp.

Saturday night, due to the lockdown Inverness had limited chip shops open, heard the friary in Beauly was open so broke the law and travelled to Beauly because on previous occasions it had been worth the trip had two fish suppers and a curry sauce, it was well worth the trip, as it was the best fish and chips we have had in ages. Majestic Mike.

Called in to the Friary the other day for tea. Fish supper and scampi suppers were both delicious. Good value for money too.

The jumbo fish was a disappointment and certainly wasn’t worth paying the extra money for it (£9.30). I ordered battered chicken fillets thinking they would freshly made and covered with fish shop batter. I received 5 pieces of dry, chewy chicken nuggets. Certainly not worth £7.50 for a supper.

Ordered a fish supper advertised as a sustainable Atlantic haddock at £8.00+ sorry to say found it disappointing both in terms of the quality of the fish which I suspect was frozen and the cost which is far more expensive than I would usually pay at home.

The staff here kindly made up gluten free batter for me while it was quiet, even though it wasn’t their night to do it. Very kind gesture, and very accommodating. The fish was as fresh as you like, really good. We will be back. Thank you The Friary!

The chips were hard and dry,,the fish was also dry, tartare sauce not nice. Scampi and sausage ok. The young assistant, obviously had a cold cos she kept rubbing her nose.

Freshly cooked fish and chips plus a good menu of other take away items . Reasonably priced friendly service

Wanted gluten free fish and chips. Was told they had none. I was so disappointed as I was so looking forward to it. Then a Knight in shining armour said he had some gluten free batter left and could make me what I wanted. It was so tasty. Thank you for making me very happy x

Tenía tantas ganas de una cena de pescado encantadora de The Friary como lo he hecho en el pasado. Desafortunadamente, nada era tan bueno, las papas fritas, no eran excelentes, pizza, no como se ordenó, salsa de curry, olla medio vacía y cena de pescado en orden incorrecto. Había comprado y pagado un pescado empanizado que cocinaban pero que yo desconozco hizo la cena con un pescado rebozado y debe haber dejado el mío. No me di cuenta hasta que llegamos a nuestro alojamiento, definitivamente no volveremos.

After travelling several hours to get to Beauly we were so looking forward to a lovely fish supper like we’ve had in the past. We went in and ordered a pizza , sausage supper , curry sauce and a breaded fish and chips . After waiting for it all to be cooked we paid and took back to our accommodation. Only to find that we didn’t get the correct pizza , the tub of curry sauce was only half full ( if that) , the chips weren’t too good and my breaded fish had turned into a battered fish !!!!! My husband had given the order to the same person that made it up . He’d seen the breaded fish going in and coming out of the fryer but didn’t see which had been lifted out and put into the box . It was so disappointing as we’d been telling the others how good the Friary was . We’d travelled a long way and were really hungry and believe me if this hadn’t been the case we wouldn’t have eaten it . Basically they got the pizza order wrong , gave us half a cup of curry sauce and charged the extra for a breaded fish but gave us a battered one . It was a complete washout and next time we visit Beauly we definitely won’t be visiting The Friary . It’s gone downhill drastically, either that or the staff has !!!!

This chipper had delicious fish and the haggis balls were yummy too. Huge portions so bring your appetite.

Permanecer cerca mientras hacía el NC 500 se detuvo para cenar, bastante ocupado, así que tuve que esperar mientras la comida se cocinaba a pedido. Vale la pena esperar, sin embargo, el pescado estaba muy crujiente, escamosa y un buen tamaño de porción, las patatas fritas también sabían muy bien. La hija comió una cena de Haggis, que también era muy sabrosa, en general una muy buena comida y valía la pena detenerse.

I phoned in my order of 3 sausage suppers(1 battered) a tub of curry sauce and 4 pickled onions.The young gentleman on the other end of phone was struggling to pick up my order so I repeated it with him finishing it of by saying 4 pickled eggs,I said no,onions.He said it would be ready for 7pm.At 7pm I went into the Friory and I presumed,the young man I’d spoken to on the telephone,another young schoolgirl,and what I presumed to be the manager,were all behind the counter.The young man was at the cash till and said my order was ready,and proceeded to tell me,my bill came to £25 !!I was taken aback, I said for 3 sausage suppers? Yes.Yes,I rung it all up on the till and it’s £25.I was reeling so collected my order,picking up a menu price list of the counter at the same time.I went to my car where my daughter and husband were waiting and told them the astonishing price I was charged.My daughter tallied it up from the price list I collected and got it to amount to £18.25I decided to go back in to the shop where the young man was still at the till.I said again I’m not agreeing with the price I’ve been charged.I repeated the order,and he asked if he could take it off me.He emptied the bag,and refilled with the same batch but added 4pickled onions.He had put in onion rings,which incidentally cost £2 ,still not taking my order to £25.I paid my bill by card so I said I’d go and get it and he said no need,I’ll just give you the £6.40 in change.I said £6.65,he said no £6.40. So I asked for a pen,i paid £25-18.35= £6.65.He said no I did it on my calculator,I said give me your calculator till I show you.He shouted the manager then and asked her to open the till,she did and went back to her hidden position behind the counter.He still said £6.40 and muttered that he’d charged for a bag. I didn’t request a bag so I took my order out of it,and placed the bag on the counter,eventually the young man said I’m not going to argue with you and gave me £6.65. The disappointing thing also ,the manager was the only adult there and never once came over to sort the issue out,leaving the young schoolboy to fix.Presumably,the till,will now be short.Was the chips supper nice though ?No,the chips were pale,undercooked and tasteless with a lot of just little crunchy bits on the bottom and by the time we got to eating them....were cold.

Called ahead and although not the standard gluten free night the staff prepared a delicious, piping hot takeaway meal for 3 of us. The GF batter was very good, the fish was fresh and lovely tasting and the chips were superb, clearly cooked in fresh, clean oil. If I could have given 6 marks I would have but i'll have to settle for 5/5.

Llegar tarde así que necesitaba una comida rápida. Gran cola dentro, pero esto fue bien manejado por el personal. Me dieron una cena de salchichas ahumadas, una cena de morcilla y una salsa de curry. Nada de eso fue bueno.La salchicha ahumada era pequeña y sabía horrible. El budín negro estaba demasiado cocido y la salsa de curry era una taza pequeña, medio llena. Las fichas fueron la peor parte, en su mayoría pequeñas y duras, y no valían la pena.Como me mantengo a cierta distancia, regresar a la tienda no fue una elección realista.Realmente decepcionado ya que este lugar solía ser bueno.

We stopped here for an ice cream cone while visiting the Priory. The place was clean and the service was good. Most important the ice cream was yummy.

Lovely fresh, local well cooked fish and chips, plenty of choice on the menu, staff pleasant and service quick

Freshly cooked to order. Good portions and fair prices. Best supper locally. Ample parking in the Square too.

Very disappointed Scampi was verging on being burnt , Red Pudding batter was like a crisp , it could not be eaten . The chips were like rubber.. A chip supper is no longer a cheap meal , we should have gone back with it .

My mother went to this chip shop tonight and spent £16.95 on a fish and chips and a chicken breast supper. Asked for them both crispy and once we got home I’ve never been more disappointed. The batter on both meals were greasy and soggy and the chips were so undercooked they were white as anything and some where hard cause they weren’t cooked enough! Absolutely disgusting and didn’t eat the whole thing. Waste of money and completely waste of time. Don’t bother going.

Soggy and greasy batter both top and bottom of fish, thankfully fish itself was tasty but over Cooked! Extremely anaemic looking chips, loads of black bits on them. Asked for salt and vinegar and couldn’t taste either. Really poor standard considering they are cooked to order. The batter should have been crispy and the chips should have a bit more colour! A little longer in the fryer wouldn’t be a bad thing! Wouldn’t recommend!

Phoned in. Our order 20 minutes later the food was ready.Excelent fresh cooked to order food . Our order was a mix of fish to Whitepudding the chips were also superb. Keep up the good work.

Ordenó el pescado y las papas fritas, este es el estándar de la industria que todas las tiendas de chips deberían aspirar a hacer bien, el pescado estaba bien, se suponía que era abadejo, pero podría haber sido abadejo o algún otro pescado blanco, era realmente insípido, la mezcla algo crujiente, pero Tenían un aspecto suave debido a que eran pesados en la harina de maíz, los chips parecían honestamente ser de una variedad congelada, sin sabor y tan duros como las estacas de la carpa un mal espectáculo para una tienda de chips, si ese es el caso, no tengo ninguna prueba, solo la experiencia . La salsa tártara hecha en casa era insípida y no tenía suficientes alcaparras ni pepinillos, ni siquiera un trozo de eneldo. En general, las astilladoras son lugares subjetivos, todos tenemos nuestro favorito, así que a los niños les encantará que sus abuelas no lo hagan. El personal era educado.
