The Plaice to Be in Perth & Kinross

Popped in for something to eat before the Enchanted Forest (which got cancelled 😩) but the silver lining was this chip shop. Straight out the best food from chippy I’ve encountered, and I’m no stranger to a weekly chippy 😂 Not to diminish others more negative experiences - my food doesn’t seem to look the same as some of the photos. I wouldn’t say the staff were friendly, they seemed a bit blunt and just there to get on with the job. The atmosphere could be better, it’s dreary and doesn’t give award winning.

We had a family weekend in Pitlochry to see the Enchanted Forest. We fancied a takeaway, but to get 13 of us to agree on what we would get, we ended up getting meals from three separate restaurants. Option two was The Plaice to Be. The usual Chip Shop favourites were available, plus Burger Box and Sharing Box items. There are a limited number of gluten-free options also. Prices were on par with similar local takeaway outlets. We received our telephone order at the time arranged and enjoyed our meal

The worst food out of a fish and chip shop I have ever had 😪 The good reviews amaze me unless it has improved drastically since the summer.

Had a fish supper from here, fish was fine but chips had an extremely strange taste to them. Service was quick, price on expensive side.

My trusted fish & chip dealer. Tastes good, portions are plentiful and the employees are funny.

Super tasty fish supper. My dad (84) said so too and he never gives compliments! Friendly service too. Def recommend.

Very disappointed in this usually great chip shop...has it changed hands because I've never had such an awful take away My sister and I had fish and chips...The fish was very thin and flat...it looked like it had been cooked in dirty batter...we found a black hair on the chips...we are both blonde...we tried it and it tasted disgusting we placed it in the bin...we threw away £21.00..This is definitely not the place to be...

Been to Pitlochry many times before but this is the first time we have been to the plaice to be and this will be the last time also. Coming from Peterhead I know what I am talking about when it comes to fish and also chipper fish but this must be the poorest fish supper I have ever had in my life. It stated you get two fish and when I opened the box I had one fish that was cut to make it look like two bits of fish. I felt cheated and the fish itself wasn’t great. It was paper thin and not thick like I have had in the past and the price for the goods just wasn’t worth it. I’ll never be back

I always look forward to fish supper from Plaice to Be when going to hometown Pitlochry for a treat.

Chicken fillet was out, just nuggets sold for the same price. Objections were made fun of. Chips under all guns. Hugh was way better back then. It was the last order here.

Dry chips, small portions & overcooked fish. Very disappointing meal for the entire family.

Good quality fish and chips. Our entire order freshly was cooked to order. Crispy thin batter on fresh fish, and nicely cooked tasty chips. Friendly service by the gents behind the counter, and I would go back next time in town.

This is not what good fish and chips looks or tastes like. Heavy oil flavour on the chips as well overwhelming all other flavour.

Very good food, friendly and welcoming and good quality and very very fresh

Great fish and chips for celiacs!

We called in to The Plaice To Be yesterday and were delighted with the choice, food and prices, and we received service with a smile, which is always nice! The veggie burger was ‘tasty’ and the chips and fish cakes were also very good. On talking to one of the locals, it seems that the new owners are doing well - good luck to them!

Nice little fish and chip shop. It is situated just off the high street.

Had fish and haggis supper. Freshly cooked food, all really nice - especially the fish, ans the chips which were crisp and fluffy. Pleasant service, would definitely recommend.

Great fish and chip supper. Large portions. Delicious fish and non-greasy chips. Would certainly go again. Only one 'big' thing missing is they don't do gravy 😔 still...

Unfortunately our dinner tonight wasn't as good as 2 years ago, we've stopped on our way from Inverness to Glasgow. Our family of 4 had fish suppers, a burger supper and chicken nugget supper. None of us are the chips which are maybe being done in older oil. The fish was acceptable but I wouldn't recommend or return again. Feels quite sad as this was so much better a couple of years ago.

Brilliant gluten free day and chips

Very happy with my meal, went with friends and staff was very nice and helpful. 5 stars!!!

I had fish & chips , was really nice , battered was fantastic. Cooked in vegetable oil . Would love to recommend 💯. Thank you plaice to be Pitlochry for feeding me with your amazing fish & chips ❤️

We had 2 haddock supper’s absolutely beautiful chips were the best I’ve had the portions were very generous more than happy to recommend

Got fish supper and white pudding super food was excellent reasonably priced would definitely recommend all freshly cooked

Best fish and chips I’ve ever had even cooked us a pea fritter 10/10

This is takeaway fish and chips, primarily. The battered fish and chips is the way to go. It's so crunchy and tasty. The fish is moist. They added Malt vinegar and added extra flavor to the fish. We love this place. The Supper portion is big, three of us shared 1 order.

I had gulten free fish n chips and fried mars bar which is outstanding. I’m recommending this chip shop to everyone. It taste really nice good place

So goos!!! It was the best fish and chips Ive ever had

Awesome fish and chip spot in Pitlochry.

Thank you very much for feeding me and my hungry family when we arrived late in Pitlochry and you were closing up for the night...These guys stayed back and cooked our order, much appreciated,...but the reason I leave this review is not solely based on that, it really is on the quality and quantity of of the food you served us, was amazing!,...Your shop is one we will definitely be visiting again when in Pitlochry and cant reccomend you try this "Plaice" 😀

Had a really nice meal from here. Gluten free haddock in batter was great and breaded fish suppers were also excellent. Very friendly staff and good service. Would defo recommend.

Delicious sausage supper at a reasonable price.

Finding hair in your meal gives it 1 star

It’s a chip shop. So much better than McKays.

One of the best fish suppers I've ever had. 👍

Amazing gluten free fish & chips 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had haddock and chips. Fish fantastic but the chips were a big let down.

Takeaway fish & chips made to order can't get any better than that nice friendly owner and staff .thank you , in the town of Pitlochry off main street great wee find

We love this place! Always get courteous service when ordering & picking up food. Our adult daughter is celiac and finds it hard to get gluten-free fish & chips so when she visits us, we always try to get a take-away from here. Whether you have regular fish & chips (like my husband) or gluten-free - it's delicious either way. I now prefer mine GF too as it's lighter but, really tastes just as good. Try it!

The meal was absolutely disgusting and went into the dustbin. Black pudding was 2 slices from the butcher's, and I'm not sure what the food was cooked in, so I don't recommend

Probably the best chippy I’ve had in ages. The quality is amazing and always consistent, I would recommend this chippy to anyone visiting the area!

Nice fresh fish suppers. Would recommend.

Excellent gluten free fish and chips- coeliac approved! Thanks so much for being inclusive!

Excellent gluten free fish and chips, strongly recommend.

Best Fish & Chips I ever had. Very friendly staff :) very good price.

Great food ..good prices. Lots of options

Great foods with great prices. Small but nice place, foods were so yummy

Excellent service fresh fish and chips would highly recommend

Place gave me food poisoning, spent the night hingin over the pan

Didn’t know this had changed hands, but thought give it a go, 2 fish suppers, £21.80, could not eat the chips, very hard and had a terrible taste, the fish was less than satisfactory.

Friendly people, nice little place.

THE best white pudding I've EVER tasted, absolutely mouth watering and the chips were delicious too, all freshly cooked. Pleasant friendly staff. Can't wait to go back😋

Very busy always a good sign and the girls loved it .

Chips were disgusting , fish & white pudding very greasy , waste of money , very expensive

Got 1 fish supper meal and 1 fish on its own.Small chips and fish was tiny and over cooked for 21 pounds.Very disappointing at both price and food.Quality and price not recommended here.Would not return!!

Ridiculously overpriced non authentic chippie serving nothing like you'd find in any Scottish city. Obviously taking advantage of the plethora of tourists in the town.

Excellent crispy fish and very tasty, chips were good too. Portion of mushy peas was small for £1.50. Only real down side was overall price

On a score from 1-10 it's a solid 1. One of the worst fish suppers I have had the misfortune to buy. Bought two small fish suppers, chips we undercooked, bland and full of ends. The fish was broken and jammed into the container. The staff were less than attentive. The lady on the salt and vinegar end was on the phone the whole time. Most of it ended up in the bin. Will definitely not be using them again.

Superb gluten free fish - can't believe it's not batter! And not a soggy chip in sight. Absolutely excellent.

This place has changed hands. Not for the better. Fish and chips with a portion of oinion rings. Not as crispy as before, onion rings are cooked from frozen. Requested salt and sauce got vinegar with salt and a squirt of brown sauce. Will not be going back.

I would give no stars if i could! Avoid! Left standing at the front door waiting to be served for a full 20 mins, then a guy walks in, asked if im being served, i tell him no, then the guy behind the counter asks him what he wants? Poor!

Plaice to Be Pitlochry has changed ownership and is now the place not to be! Sad after all the years of top quality food from Hugh and his team, thanks for the memories but from now it will be MacKay's.

Was looking forward to a chippy after 30 mins driving into pitlochry during a camping trip near by - only to be given the worst fish supper of my life. The fish was greasy and was definitely not fresh, I had to return to the shop to add more salt and vinegar to make it edible. The only reason I did not ask for refund was because I had to get back to friends at the campsite as it was pouring of rain. My friends food were all disgusting also and one had a sausage that was warm on one end, and cold on the other!! Worst £11 I have spent in my life. Avoid this place if your not wanting a good meal - SAVE YOUR MONEY

Terrible chip shop. Half the chips weren’t cooked properly. The fish wasn’t fresh and sausage was definitely undercooked! Also pricey!! Won’t be back.

Been here several times over the years. It used to have fantastic fish and chips. I assume new owners have recently taken over as it’s nowhere near the quality it once was. Fish now comes in 2 pieces and the chips are very hard. Young male waiter behind the counter also rude with no manners. Wouldn’t recommend and won’t return.

Great fish and chips crispy batter and chips 2 pieces of fish got lemon as well dontnormally get lemon so a nice change good value excellent service and friendly staff

Tasty take away fish and chips with a decent selection. Not the cheapest, but very good quality. The queuing area is small and cramped, best to wait outside. There is a small selection of gluten free options.

Got a white pudding supper not good quality pudding and very greasy not an award winning chippy in my opinion

Food was disgusting greasy & tasteless one particular male member of staff was extremely rude overall a bad atmosphere in the shop won’t be back

Disgusting food dripping in grease absolutely tasteless. Staff particularly one male was extremely rude. I would avoid this shop.

Wasn't impressed. The practice not to be. "Award winning fish and chips" not sure if they stole the sign from another shop. Male member of staff was rude and doubted whether I'd put money in the bucket for cutlery made me feel uneasy. Advertised salad but don't actually sell it. Swimming in oil and curry sauce was cold. Fish was tastless.

Have reviewed this elsewhere but had tp put it here as well. Arrived quite late but not really near closing time and ordered 2 fish suppers. Myself and another customer were told where to stand in quite a brusque manner. Food came really quickly but what a disappointment. Fish was greasy and fairly tasteless and the chips were overdone and hard. Don't think I have ever left more than half a fish and chips portion before but couldn't eat it. Neither could my wife. I'm just here for the weekend but won't be back. Have resorted to Jaffa cakes out of Co-op

The best chippy I have had in ages. A must for everyone

I’m English and the chips here beat every chippy I’ve had south of the border. The people there gave friendly and quick service to hungry tourists!

Excellent fish and chips. Superb.

The cod fillet was very lovely. Crispy outside and tender inside, also fresh. We finished the cod in 5 minutes. I would give a 4.8/5 :) The onion rings were the most delicious onion rings I've ever had. It is a bit oily, yes, but very tasty. I'd give a 5/5 especially on a cold day. Enjoyed every bite.

Friendly staff and good service but let down by soggy/sticky batter on the fish, which had stuck to the chips by the time I reached the car. Chips were good, chunky and cooked to perfection.

Backfisch ist wirklich lecker mit Top Panade - Pommes allerdings nicht gleichmäßig knusprig durch - bei dem Preis daher Abzug

Great to find a fish and chip shop that caterers for my son who’s coeliac. Don’t often find a fish place that you can walk in without having to pre ordering a day or more before hand that is gluten free. Very tasty and reasonably priced. If we holiday here again will definitely return!!

Best take away fish and chips we've had for a long time.

One of the largest bits of haddock I've ever had, haggis and white puddings are pretty dam good also.

Fish and chips where awesome not to greasy and good price

Placed a large order for 17 people at 5pm to be collected at 6pm. Food was ready promptly, piping hot and delicious. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you 😊

Great gluten free fish and chips

Amazing fish and chips. I always look forward to visiting my mum in Pitlochry as it does the best fish in chips in Scotland.

This was a regular stop for afternoon drinks. They had a great selection of beers. The staff were awesome, hardworking, and polite.

Absolutely brilliant chip shop. A bit expensive and portions don’t look huge compared to home. But it was the best fish & chips you will have.

Went for a takeaway service was shocking even to the point they were discriminatory towards were my wife came form even tho we have lived in Scotland for 20 plus year couldn't believe it !!!!

Staying in Pitlochry 2 days we were stunned by the high prices in the restaurants around. Thank heavens for this local chippy that provides great food at sensible prices (see pics). We had food from here both evenings and enjoyed everything we had (haddock, smoked sausage, spring rolls and chips). Service was very friendly and very efficient. Lovely park up the road to enjoy your food in. Definitely recommended.

Brilliant breaded fish and chips!!

Back every week for a fish supper. Oh, and for the chat of course. Some don't care for the latter, but hey, suits me fine. The fish is fresh and crumbly and the chips are crisp. What's not to like?

Great traditional fish suppers as always. Crispy fish and chunky chips. Friendly staff. In centre of town.

So good we went back again during our week’s stay nearby. Best fish and chips we’ve had.

Great experience at at this fish and chip shop! Wonderful fresh food and chat with the owner.

Geweldig! Vriendin met coeliakie had de grootste smile dat ze glutenvrij mee kon eten!

Geweldige glutenvrije fish&chips! Mijn vrouw heeft coeliakie en kan daarom nooit Fish and Chips eten. We zijn speciaal 2 uur om gereden om hier te eten. Het was heerlijk! Super friet, super friet en belangrijkste geen gluten klachten. Volgende meer rijden we weer om.

Excellent GLuten Free Fish & Chips , with great service. When I visit Pitlochry this chippy is always on my list of places to visit.

Took a chance against some of the reviews here. Went to find out for ourselves. Best fish and chips for an age, everything freshly cooked, not greasy and very tasty, staff were friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit
