The Galley in Larne

The best fish and chips ever and i am very fussy! We just arrived in Carnlough for a few days and called in here for dinner. Amazing amazing fish and chips. xx

I recently visited Carnlough and the Galley was recommended to me by a local person, so I went there and ordered fish and chips. I have to say that it was the best fish and chips that I have eaten in a very long time, and I used to be a commercial fisherman in west Cork, so I know a thing or two about fish. The staff were also very friendly and helpful and I would definitely recommend the Galley to anyone visiting Carnlough.

Food is top notch couldn’t beat the fish. So fresh best i’ve had. Staff doing great job considering how busy it is.

Food was excellent real chippy chips . Drove from Belfast a friend recommended , parking directly facing shop in lay-by. 5* .

Always go to the galley hands down has always been the best chippy in the north of ireland. Until tonight that was the last time I will be going as waited 30 mins in the chip shop for my ordered to be took, and midway theough my ordered the girl taking my ordered lifted the phone to answer it and told me to wait and go sit down? Then proceeds to take my order and after I placed my order she tells me they were low on chips and we ordered 4 sausage suppers, like what chip shop runs out of chips and still serves people food when they dont have enough for them? So that was fine anyways, then got out to there only being 2 sausages and about 6 chips in a box. Which i would of thought if your serving a portion that size you would charge half the price? Last time ill be there, absoloutley shocking customer service and shocking portions

Food is usually good but tonight (they were busy) I was put on hold for 30 mins before I was cut off. Tried again and despite explaining I had been on hold for 30 mins was put on hold again. Gave up after 15 mins. Heard some great conversations during my 45 mins on hold though

Average chip shop. I just fancied a chip with salt, vinegar and tomato ketchup. I had to pay an extra 80p for the squirt of ketchup, which I felt was a bit extreme, especially as the chips are in a bag , which means only the chips at the top get it lol. When I commented on the price of the ketchup, I felt the staff member was abrupt. I then asked for a fork and she put it in the bag, could not even make eye contact. Not good customer service. Maybe I should return the plastic fork when I finished?

Called for fish and chips whilst travelling the coastline and selected this venue as the queue outside suggested it might be the best of the ones on the seafront. We were not wrong. Would usually go for haddock but only cod was being offered but wow was it good? Very fresh, white and flaky cod in good, crispy batter and dry and crispy chips. There was absolutely nothing to complain about here, so much so I felt it necessary to return and let the staff just how good their fish and chips were. Top quality and well worth the wait.

Omg what has happened to the galley X I have been going to carnlough since my kids were young for the best fish supper ever. Every easter Monday for years and the qeues where always up the street. We went as usual this Easter Monday and I was shocked to see there was no queue and actually thought the shop was closed. We where the only people in the queue but as it was cash only we had to go to the spar to get cash back and when we returned there was 4 other people ordering. When I got my fish the first thing I noticed was the batter was darker than usual. Not burnt but overcooked and the fish wasn't its usual pure white but was quite grey in colour and even though the batter was crisp and overcooked on the outside it was still a bit gooey in the middle. Chips were over cooked too 😩 and usually the place is that busy there is loads of staff in but there was only one person cooking and one taking the orders 😩

Not up to usual high standard. Batter undercooked and greezy and the sauce was horrid.

Called in with the family earlier this evening after our visit to Glenariff. The food was absolutely outstanding. The chips & cod were the star of the show. We will 100% be back. Highly recommend.

Despite the web site and Facebook and physically saying the doir The galley was open on Wednesday 04 / 10 /23 I drive 12 miles there and 12 miles back only find it was in fact closed. And whilst I parked 2 other people one who had driven from waterfoot were always disappointed to find it close . Really poor and shows how little respect they have for customers they can’t even be bothered to change the opening hours on Fb or their web site . Customers like all business when they are having a good get taken for granted before the organisation realises and fall flat in ut face once the valued customers start to realise and go elsewhere.

Unlike previous visit, chips were over cooked and hard. Fish and Chicken gougons were great. So 50% success rate this time!

This is just for tourists, not for locals, they have no time for the local community

Great food but very busy (which is always a good sign)

Very good fish and chips in a superb setting by the port. Possibility of tasting in the park which overlooks the sea. We were even able to watch the horses bathe. Remember to book as the wait is sometimes a little long.

Extremely busy - great staff - great food -

Take away. V good food and service. Can be very busy for obvious reasons.

Unlike our last visit, the food was very disappointing this evening. The battered fish was soggy, like it had been sitting for a while (we asked for well done), and the chips were not hot. We won't be travelling the 35 miles again!

Ordered 3 meals. Had better. Unfortunately fish was overcooked. Seemed to have been double fried.

Good food, decent prices, fast service, good menu selection.. Highly recommended ❤️👍

Fab, place and lovely staff.Thanks so much for your help tonight, We got home safe and sound and the fish was delicious. Best crispy batter we have had. Totally recommend The Galley. We will definately be back!

Got the Family Meal deal. Was great!

Friendly staff. Eager too please. Recommend the fish bites,

The best experience food wise.....staff on hand to cater for the customer's needs.....100% guys

The Galley in Carnlough does the best Fish and Chips in the whole North of Ireland💚regularly take a drive from Belfast to Carnlough just to go to The Galley then sit by the water and enjoy the best fish and chips ever🤗 It's a must try!!!!

Lovely food! Highly recommend the sausage supper! Food is cooked to a very high standard.

Absolutely first class food and staff special I Don't have to say anymore go and try

Friendly staff delicious take away food. Burgers are awesome.

Best Fish & chips in the occupied six counties by far

One of the best chippies around. And Carnlough is a gorgeous spot, too

Lovely food, very friendly staff and good service Highly recommended.

Fresh quality, generous & tasty.

Love a wee drive to Carnlough for a pasty and chips. Onion rings are exceptional although I did find the pasty a bit soggy this time so fingers crossed for next time

Had some fish and chips while passing through Carnlough, quick service and delicious food.

Lovely sausage and chip but a long wait out on the pavement for it!

Service is quick, and food is delicious Masks are required, as well as waiting outside for your number to be called

Definitely the best fish and chips I have ever had.

Staff are plight and pleasant, The food is very good, so every time when going along the coast road we end up getting a first class fish supper.

Got our dinner from this busy wee chippy on the way home from a little 'staycation' along the coast. The food was well worth the wait, some of the nicest chips I've ever had - there was precious little left over lol! I would recommend this to anyone who's a fan of good fish n' chip shops; I noticed that a lot of folks were ordering fish & chips and I regret now that I hadn't tried it, rather than the usual burger & chips lol.

Fantastic beautiful fresh caught fish. Yummy!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our takeaway last week.

On a lovely day out with family. Stopped for fish and chips. Firstly staff ! Girl serving us was so friendly and helpful.. food was excellent.. we all really enjoyed it..will definitely go back for more.. 😊

Glad to have a chippy to get our food in Carnlough. The batter was soft but apart from this the chips and curry sauce were excellent 😎

Usually this restaurant is verry good,but when we visited it on Friday past, my brother ordered a portion of sausages thick ones what he got was a smallportion of beef sausages,instead of the thick pork ones a bit disappointing,but other than that it was fine.

Excellent food and excellent service.

THEIR HOUSE BURGER WAS EXCELLENT AND LOVELY STAFF AND POLITE GREAT FOOD

Fantastic double decker cheese burger 🍔 always my first choice for a chippy in Carnlough. Good value and brilliant customer service.

Beautiful fish and chips. Order made up quickly. Highly recommended. We'll be back!!!!

Well worth the wait, fresh food, safety restrictions in place.

Superb food. Can't past through Carnlough now without stopping in, never disappointed. I know of friends who also travel from far afield just for this chippy. Great customer service and food is always brilliant. Always a must for anyone who has yet to taste their food. 10/10

On a family day out, enjoying the Glens of Antrim, hunger set in. We noticed a queue at The Galley, knew we were on to a good thing, my goodness in this, now ‘new normal’ since Covid 19 arose, everyone is still weary about going places & eating out, well The Galley was well sanitized & fully equipped, felt very safe & secure walking in & placing my order. Food ready, absolutely delicious, you will not be disappointed, highly recommend & we will be back soon

Lovely food we always stop by where we are staying around here as it is the nicest chippy, defo recommend their burgers. Best phoning ahead and ordering as there is usually a long queue and it can take a while. Cash only.

Went out for we drive ended up carnlough called into the galley got 2 fish supers chips it was the worst fish&chips I've ever been served only one place it went in the bin wouldn't even give to the seagulls that much grease could run my car

Great chippy. Sometimes a really long wait tho. Although alway worth it. The fish is outstanding from here.

Lovely day to be a living in this beautiful country we live in. God bless you all

Customer service was atrocious, waited 30 minutes for 2 chips when it was not busy also got made to stand outside in the rain because of the 2 person limit whilst 4 people were sitting in won’t be back.

Staff are very friendly and fast service, all food cooked fresh.Really good food here and sensible prices, but note cash only.

Best fish and chips, plus lots of other options in the menu. Small cooler with coke Fanta and a few other sodas. All the sauces are great but highly recommend galley sauce and curry. CASH ONLY but there's an atm right down the street by SPAR.

We stayed at Carnlough Harbour a day and ate dinner here. The fish was fresh and coffee good . It's located right across the harbour.

Amazing Fish Suppers in this very busy carryout. Freshly battered cod is amazing and absolutely delicious. Ask for a family chip which is a huge bag of delicious chunky chips for £5. Very busy most evenings so best to phone in your order ahead of time and then just pick it up to avoid a long wait in the queue, which can be out the door at peak times, like on weekend nights. When the weather is good we sit on the benches along the harbour wall to eat out fish suppers so that we can enjoy the view of the Irish Sea and Antrim plateau vista. We regularly drive over to Carnlough from Broughshane for to enjoy their fish suppers. Highly recommended.

This Fish & Chips was to die for. I don't know if it will be the best in the area, but arriving after a hard day of sightseeing and having that half battered bacalado with its delicious potatoes for dinner tasted heavenly. Extra points for the battered Mars bar.

Bester Fish & Chips unserer Reise. Auch die Chips sehr knackig, was sonst selten der Fall war. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Great wee chippy with a twist, not only to they sell traditional chippy takeaway but fresh pizza too. Staff are very friendly and prices are reasonable too. Worth a visit.

Four of us were driving to Giant's Causeway and stopped off at this chippy. Very busy regatta day in the town but we were served promptly by really friendly and helpful staff (we were happy to wait for fish to be freshly cooked). Both the fish and the chips were delicious. Also my wife wanted a small burger and she was pleased to find that they had that on the menu (usually only massive burgers seem to be served these days), with the toppings of choice (fresh onions and tomato in her case). All four of us were very glad we had stopped there.

Its nice to have a good fresh air by the water.

If you want fish and chips and all the little extras I would highly recommend the Galley. Good food great hardworking staff and cleanliness to a high standard.

Food is bad can't cook a chicken fillet burger had to pick off the batter the chicken was dry after eating it feeling sick

Best fish and chips i have had on this part of Antrim.

One of the best chippies in the country

Best fish and chips in carnlough.

Very busy little chippy but food was definitely worth the wait. Also found the staff friendly

Not great and had to wait for a long time

My wife and i love this place. Consistently good food especially the southern fried fillet burger . Like any food outlet it gets busy at peak times and is crammed all summer . But I think that speaks well of the food

We insist on coming here every year when we visit family. It has the best fish I have ever tasted, never changes. Sit eating it over the harbour or park along the coast road and just enjoy a real feast

Called in for a takeaway. Our fish supper and a fish bite meal were exceptional. Melt in the mouth fish. Perfect batter. Well salted chips. Food piping hot. Lovely pleasant service.

Great meal - the chowder starter would be a main course in most restaurants and the steak was cooked to perfection

Love this place, the only thing is the long wait and queues

Stop at lunch time today, wow fresh fish freshly cooked chips crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside. Best fish and chips in a long long time but the staff were really friendly.

We had a cod supper last night after a hike, gorgeous, fresh and so crispy. Thank you

Fantastic place to eat food best quality possible at very good price ....

The best take away in the north. Traditional chip shops just don't get any better than this.

Have used in the past so popped in to pick usual chip shop fare for family. No one in the place at all. I mean STAFF!. 1min, 2min.............. After 5mins standing reading the price board, I even considered how easy it would be to empty the cash register!!! In retrospect it was telling that no customers came in during this time as well. This was 6ish evening time. Prime time I would have thought for chippy's. Waved at the security cameras and went next door, literally, to Hungry Jacks. Steady stream of people, constant phone orders and top notch fish and chips fare. Would have loved to comment on the food from The Galley but they made it impossible. Another customer lost.

On a Sunday drive down the coast, stopped off at Carnlough Harbour for a quick lunch and wanted to sit and eat in the sun ( all too rare in N. Ireland). Ordered from The Galley - cod and chips , both made freshly for us. They were just fantastic - beautiful portion of fish, perfect batter and excellent chips. Really one portion could have satisfied two for a small lunch. Good friendly service as well. Definitely will go back.

Really really nice chips and battered cod here

Good fish and chips and other fast food take away

received a half fish supper, half the box empty, when I returned box I was accused of eating half the chips by the woman who served me, she knowing full well what a miserable portion she served. Miserable woman server with horrible attitude.

Great chips!!! The north coast has a collection of great chip shops and the Galley can join the list. Great chips. Very busy at the usual times.

The food is very good, portions are great. Would visit every time we are in Carnlough. The size of the fish is amazing.

Always a prompt service, fresh food and we love the family meals - more than enough for a family of 4!

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to The Galley, really great tasting food! I had the chicken wrap and found it delicious, with a good size portion of chicken..you can choose your fillings and it is cooked to perfection :)

Great portion size which fed us both. Lovely fish and fine chips. Would eat there again. This wa a great fish and chip carry-out place that we would recommend to passers by.

Best Chip shop in Carnlough always get a good meal to take away and they offer deliveries at weekends locally.

Tastiest chippy along the whole of the coast. Worth holding off from eating to find this place. Beside a beautiful harbour. In summer go here and sit on the harbour wall. Amazing!!!

I don't know about this place serving the best fish and chips in the UK but they probably come pretty close. Having read other reports I decided to have one cod each and just one portion of chips between the two of us - good decision. The chips were exactly as others have described, tasty and not greasy, and the two pieces of cod were huge, coated in a thin tasty batter and delicious. It's true that you might have to wait a bit longer than in most chippies but that was probably because a lot of local people placed advance orders by phone. I didn't mind waiting as it gave me the opportunity to admire the very pretty and friendly girls behind the counter.

Excellent!!! generous portions but the fried food is worth it, just looking at the oil makes us want to go away. The only thing that can be saved is the chicken which says it all!!

Paramos en este "fish and chips" mientras por la costa, tengo que decir que me decepcionó el servicio, la espera y la comida. Esperamos a la vuelta de 30 minutos para ser servida la comida mientras la gente que llegó después de la comida servida y dado antes que yo. La comida una vez recibido, no valía la pena la espera, que no tenía sabor alguno. Sin duda no predecir un regreso a este "fish and chips".

Brilliant fish and chips prompt service. Highly recommend

On a visit to NI we look forward to fish and chips from this little gem. Wonderful fish, tasty and very large portions. Comparatively cheap as well

Great take away, and what a lovely spot to eat it, sat in the bench's above the harbor .. although we were rained out, it didn't spoil the food.
