came here from dunbar tonight and im so glad we did everything in hot box looked very appealing we didnt know what we wanted. settled on our choice of meals for 3 adults and a kids meal it was very reasonably priced. food was still piping hot by time we got back home and was absolutely delicious. we have deffo found our new chippy. the ones in Dunbar are very pale in comparison foodwise. service was friendly and fast and you felt your custom was appreciated. love the family vibe i got as well im assuming it was all family but just a great atmosphere and service.

A classic old school style chippy, run by an enthusiastic, passionate Scottish-Italian family, the Townhouse Fish Bar has everything the discerning customer could desire. All of the original dishes from the fryer menu are available, the chips themselves are top notch, golden, crispy and fluffy on the inside... The pizza is fantastic using special dough from naples, the kebabs are awesome, everything is made fresh, and if there is something more modern that you can't see on the menu just ask and if they can accommodate you they will :D (my personal favourite is the humble yet tasty scooby snack) prices are reasonable, portion sizes are GENEROUS, the flavours are big and delicious... The service is wonderful, with all the staff working hard to ensure happy and satisfied customers. The banter is brilliant too, if these folks opened up in Edinburgh central they would steal everyones business and on a Friday/Saturday night the que would be out the door and around the corner... I've been eating there now roughly once a week for almost a year, the place is spotless... I've never had a bad meal and I can't wait till the next one... To summarise, when was the last time you really enjoyed a chippy the kind that takes you back to being a kid after swimming or en route home after a wild night out? Where the smell of the food leads you in through the doors with your mouth beginning to water and your belly beginning to rumble... This is THE place, so don't waste time thanking me, just grab your coat or your phone and get the order in :D

As fish bars go this is a good place to buy fish and chips. Fish was freshly cooked as I waited which I prefer. Was a busy place which can be a good indicator. Your offered salt and sauce but for visitors from other areas you can have your vinegar or other sauces.

Very good quality @ great value for money, would recommend the ham topped margherita and small chips for £6.80 as of July 2019, good portion sizes, very friendly service, worth several visits. 2022 update: On our 4th visit (since 2019) we were very impressed with the service provided. Very friendly staff members. Short wait despite fresh cooked to order food. Food was faultless, piping hot too. Margherita pizza and chips is £8.00. Very much recommended. Totally opposite experience to many of the poor reviews written for this brilliant establishment. Those who had a bad experience, it may be worth retrying...

They are advertising 20% off your first order on their website AND this Facebook page. I placed an order to take advantage of this great offer and then realised I'd only been given 5% off, so I called the restaurant and politely queried this to be told that the offer is wrong and hasn't been updated. Working in retail myself, when an incorrect offer is displayed it should be honoured as it is no fault of the customers. I asked if they were going to honour it as they are advertising it to which I was told no and that I am being selfish because they are doing me a favour deriving to my town because they don't have to do that (even though the option is there to deliver to my town and I'm paying £6 delivery) so if this is a problem they shouldn't give the option of delivery here. I was told I should just be grateful for the 5% discount and be thankful they are delivering to my town, and they have no way of honouring it or refunding me the difference and the lady started shouting down the phone to me even though I was speaking in a calm tone the whole time. She then said she could just cancel my order even though I have already paid for it. So if you can't honour me the 15% back you are advertising then how can you cancel and refund me my whole order? Absolutely disgusting customer service and if you think getting worked up and shouting down the phone at your customers is an acceptable way to run a business I am truly shocked. Won't be ordering from here again.

Arrived 45 minutes late. Fish was dry, chips cold. Brown sauce had no flavour. So, so disappointed. Worst chip shop meal we have ever had. We are mid forties in age! I think the only savour was the salad dish we ordered. Only used The Town House Fish Bar because his competitor is on holiday (Dino's). Come back Tino!! We will not use The Town House Fish Bar again! Awful!

Bought a takeaway here last night. Greasy, re-heated fish and sausages. Onion rings too were greasy, had one and couldn’t eat anymore. Chips were limp and greasy. Annoyingly we waited about 15 minutes for our food so we thought it would be nice and fresh. Would never eat here again.

Chippies are Chippies when all said and done. Never-the-less any of these fast food establishments could have queues outside if only they would pay a little attention to quality. It seems of little concern that items have perhaps been ' double cooked ' or left lying for so long to be rendered tired and uninteresting. A quick ching of the till clearly more important than a any desire to build quality and thus the business. After the last fish supper purchase I promised myself not to return.

Placed an order on Xmas Eve for 2 fish suppers to be delivered. Told there would be a wait of 1 hour which we accepted. 15 minutes into the hour we received a call to say they had fun out of fish and would we have frozen cod instead which unfortunately my partner agreed to. One and a half hours later no food had appeared phoned to find out where it was told they were very busy and the roads were slippy and it would be with us soon. One hour later another phone call to be told food was on its way yipee. On arrival we were charged more than we had been quoted because delivery charge had not been included although when we placed the order we were told it was. Delivery person said that this had happened 3 times already. Did the food live up to the expectation NO IT DID NOT! The batter on the fish was thick and rubbery the fish was tough and chewy and I found 2 stones in the chips certainly not worth the £6.40 It was so bad that the dog didn't even get it, it went straight in the bin. Customer service atrocious, not even a token gesture of waiving the delivery charge. Will never buy from here again I would give this a zero rating but it wasn't annoption

Popped in the other afternoon for a bag of chips, the portion was very small in a wee polystyrene container and chips not that nice to be honest, usually a portion of chips would fill me up at lunchtime but was still hungry and had to buy more food ! for £1.80 I would expect the portion to be larger.

Gosh almost sorry to write this one after all those glowing reviews. Last Friday night it must have been a one-off! The chips were soggy looked awful and tasted equally. The fish had no taste to it. We were disappointed considering how busy it was when we ordered. Well there you are honest opinion!

Usually really good food at a reasonable price and on ordering a home delivery a time is given which up to now is has been fairly accurate usually erring on the early side. The 2 occasions we have had issues!! The last time it was 20 mins later than they said but at least the food was still good. Tonight it was really really disappointing not only 40 mins later than they said, 90mins from when we ordered!! But the pizzas were both cold, the mushrooms and chips luke warm, only the fish and the sausages were hot but to be honest by the time they arrived we were past even sharing the fish and sausages.
