The Viking in North Ayrshire

Greasy disgusting chips at a ridiculous price

Just left the chippy 15 Min ago. Wednesday the 18th of September the food absolutely brilliant chips where best chippy chips had in a long time. But the service and the attitude of the girl and women serving was right out of order. I ordered 2 fish sippers 2 piece. Shouted out my order as 1 piece. Didn't think it was mine. Attitude of older women shouting it out. Then when I said I ordered a 2 piece. It was to much hassle for them to make it a 2 piece. So we got 1 piece. We travel from Greenock once a week for a chippy. But this experience with the staff has put us of. Food 10/10

Best chippy meal had when on holiday. On time and friendly driver.

Absolutely amazing chips. Best ever!

Chips are poor fish is terrible it’s small tasteless,it’s went down hill I’m afraid we were here Saturday definitely won’t be back

Absolutely Fantastic! Chips cooked to perfection, fish melts in your mouth. Service is quick and the staff are delightful and helpful. 10/10 recommend

I got fish and chips from here and my wife got sausages and chips and the chips looked really old and greasy they tasted horrible and my fish was soggy and very greasy and tasteless the hole fish was consumed with grease my wife's sausages were pink soggy and cheap looking and she's took one bit and spat it out so over all it was a waste of money as we didn't eat them and had to go else where to get food.

I hate to give a bad review but this was the worst chip supper I've ever eaten in my life the chips tasted disgusting they were extremely greasy rotten bits on ever single chip and they were all stuck together the sausages were also terrible the taste and texture was horrible and dripping with grease don't waste your money here the food is not fit for human consumption no joke.

Reasonably priced, food was excellent. Can get busy but worth the wait.

Bought a pizza. Burnt on the top and edges.cold soft doughy uncooked on the underside. Absolutely revolting. Never again.

Visit this chippy every time I'm in Largs. In my opinion it's the best chippy there. Food is absolutely brilliant every time, prices are great and online ordering feature is spot on. Will come again.

Had chips not great. Decided to try here as its a local business. Decided against sausage supper, as there was loads already cooked and I questioned how fresh it was. Should be cooking fresh to order. Only visiting Largs but def no touch this chippy on next visit.

Got a sausage supper on Saturday whilst visiting Largs. Tasted great. Staff were very friendly even when busy. definitely recommend. Thanks.

While visiting Largs I decided to try Scotlands best voted fish& chip shop. Although my haggis was fresh and tasty the chips were absolutely disgusting. Old stale chips that had been laying around for a long time by the look of them Will not be returning here to pay for inedible food

Went in here at teatime on hogmanay. Wasn't great. Got a sausage supper, and the sausage was awful. Been lying there for a long time by looks of it, and along with the scraggy chips, was freezing by the time I walked the 2 mins back to our flat. Had to microwave it, then most went in the bin. Was barely edible. Special fish was slightly better as made to order, but outside cremated, and chips were frozen again. Again, most went in the bin. I know chip shops when busy, make lots of stuff in advance, and if it's quiet, it stays in the warmer, but if I went into kebab or Chinese restaurant, I wouldn't expect a curry or kebab, which had been sitting warm for a long period of time in its own fat, to be served to me. Its unacceptable to sell food like this.

Honestly the worst fish and chips I've ever had, bones in one of the suppers also. Staff were friendly enough but for the price, quality and portion size. 1*

Bought fish and chips a couple of days ago, the fish and chips was awful never again

The fish i got was lovely and crispy, definitely will be my go to place when in largs

Lovely, lovely staff. Food is rotten, so two stars are for the staff. Fish is frozen square shaped rubbish and batter was awful. Chips were obviously fried in dirty oil. Can’t believe The Blue Lagoon beats this place hands down.

Great chicken bite supper pop corn chicken lovely great food will use again

Been coming to the Viking takeaway fish and chips for years. The best ever! Unfortunately last night the 26th of July was disappointing chips fabulous felt the fish have been kept warm in the oven a little too long. Still I’ll be back! I will hath to put the fish in when I arrive so it’s fresher. I’m updating my review 23-08-2023. What has happened to the Viking chips were good! The fish was terrible old and soggy batter, I reckon we’ll be sitting there for at least an hour! In the past it was cooked to order come back please.Dave from Ayr.

Done a coastal trip with the kids, came here for a chippy like we've done for years, Sadly probably the last, The chips were lovely but fish was a mushy tasteless mess, Kids had fish fingers which were nicer than the fish I had! Next time I'll try somewhere else.

Absolutely loved this place, fantastic service and just as good food, will be making myself a regular in no time!

Amazing service big portions meal definitely will be back

Service is immaculate - food so fresh, brilliant value for money and shop extremely sanitary

open whenever they want, ignore times online

We had fish and chips and a sausage supper. The fish was ok but very expensive. The sausage was rotten but the worst part was the chips. All the chips tasted of rotten fish so went in the bin. The whole meal tasted like it had been fried in dirty old fat.

Seriously went downhill, we have used this place regularly in the past but it couldn't have gotten worse. The food wasn't great, the portions were tiny, and a large fish supper was smaller than a mini fish supper elsewhere. The service was terrible, with no smile, no thanks, just a blank stare. Needless to say, we won't be back!

Great place for all the family staff friendly and helpful and professional

Fantastic Fish & Chip shop, bit pricey but really tasty

Great kids meal! We got Kids chicken nuggets.. There homemade with real chicken breasts. Comes with juice and little bag of haribo.. Fantastic value for money!

Tried here for fish & chips. Best in Largs.

Very disappointed with the size of fish for an expensive fish supper , in my opinion it was one fish that was sliced through the middle and battered to look like 2 fish , chips wasn’t great either , a long journey for a disappointing fish supper .

Came in to try fish & chips For me best in Largs. Will return

Fish supper, and sausage supper

The food is rotten! Cheap products, soggy, greasy fish batter, the meat products are disgusting and bright pink even after they’ve been cooked! Just to top it off, both my teens were sick in the middle of the night…NOT a coincidence! Stay well clear! Over priced, below standard food! They’re clearly all about the image of the place, not the quality of the food! Won’t be back!

this place has gone down hill, portions where small with very little chips, I've seen bigger fish at a fairground stall, sausage was disgusting and under cooked, they wanted 50p for a sachet of mayo, I crossed the road and got a bottle for about £1.50. to be honest folks, save your money and go elsewhere, been going here for years and I can honestly say I won't be going back.

5 stats to 1 star Updated: This place has gone down hill. I absolutely loved this chippy. Chips were really soggy and had way to much vinegar this time round. Portion size has gotten smaller. My daughters actually refused to eat the chips they were that poor Posted 6 years ago: Excellent chippie, great value for money, the portion size is crazy, always struggle to finish it. Recommended highly

Second time in here for chips first time not bad but this time they where disgusting 🤮 more like reheats not worth the money won’t be going back

Um ehrlich zu sein, hat uns der lediglich Name hierhin geführt. Damit wären wir auch bereits bei den einzigen Pluspunkten: der Name und die äußer Erscheinung. Weniger schön ist dann bereits das Innenleben. Die Auswahl an Fish & Chips sowie Pizza-Varianten kann sich sehen lassen, die Umsetzung hingegen weniger. Ohne Serviette (oder Besteck) erhält man dort eine absolut geschmacklose Speise, mit der man wieder hinaus muss. Was hingegen gepfeffert ist, sind die Preise.

The chips are vile. All you could taste was oil.

This is my Father inlaws favourite chip shop! Staff are always friendly, he always gets a fish supper which he always reccomends to everyone! Chicken breast nuggets are another favourite. Defenetly a must if you are ever in largs.

Save your money, don’t bother going here. It’s absolutely disgusting. Go across the road to fish works which is worlds apart in quality and taste.

Was down for a wee break at caravan site, so we wanted to try fish and chips we got a large and regular fish suppers, well I'm going to be truthful when I say dissapionting and I mean very disappointed, I don't know what kind of fish they're selling but I'm 100%positive that it was not haddock, and it was absolutely disgusting and tasteless, I think it could have been whiting fish as they're tasteless £16wasted as the whole lot apart from some chips went in the bin and that was the best place for it, thank god were back home in Fife where probably the best fish supper in Scotland is sold ANSTRUTHER, so I would not recommend anyone to eat out of this shop, not if you want haddock anyway, I struggled to award 1 star regards James very unhappy customer

Chips were like dried card bored and don't know what they were cooked in but tasteless my local chippie van I can buy a fish supper for £3.20 with 2 fish and much superior taste by about 100%

My son had a fish supper 2 days ago and within hours of eating it, developed sickness and diahorrea. He's still not feeling well. Don't want to be too graphic, the fish was pink.

In and out in no problem, especially since the blue lagoon was full of bumbaclarts #MonTheVikings

Worst chippie I have ever had and I spend a lot of time checking out chip shops. It was so bad I took two bites of my fish on a visit yesterday and binned it. The smoked sausage my daughter had was amazing but the fish tasted lime it had been cooked a week ago and the batter was far too chewy. Won't be back

Easily the worse chippy I’ve ever used. Cold soggy chips and a dose of the you know what’s the next day. Avoid at all costs.

Purchased King rib supper ,,the chips were awful very stale for being made in afternoon but king rib was fine

Worst fish and chips I’ve ever had

Why did I give this place another chance, absolutely awful! Food is a disgrace, sent wrong order, and was cold, no apology, burger not edible, £15!! Wasted, on a disgusting chippy, could not eat, this place is horrible.

Service was awful and the fish and chips were frankly disgusting. Should of expected it I suppose since it is Largs and it’s an undeveloped town…

Have takeaway fish and chips from here almost every time we come to Largs. Generous portion sizes and always tasty.

Tasty fish and chips. Chips a bit pale to be perfect but I very much enjoyed my supper, good value.

Walked in on a Wednesday night just before 9pm and was laughed at and told the place was closed. No sign saying it was closed and doors still opened. Another example of the arrogance of a lot of shop assistants in Largs. They think they are only there for the tourists

Recently bought fish and chips and steak pie. Lovely crispy batter on the fish and tasty steak pie. Worth a visit.

The very best fish and chips we've ever had. Was literally perfect. Topped off by stunning views of the setting sun whilst eating them on the seafront wall. 👍👍👍

Great chippy! Excellent chips, every time.

Amazing food and lovely staff. Best chip shop by far highly recommended!

Amazing Food and amazing staff!x

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS CHIP SHOP PLEASE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY, had to give this one star to post this although I wish I could give it minus stars, the single worst pizza I have ever had was freezing cold so too was all of the food, chips were rock solid in the middle, absolutely disgusting food which is a shame as this used to be one of the nicest chippys, their chef needs to find a new job has no clue what they're doing.

Tasty chips. Good sized portions.

Management very rude and abrupt. Fish over cooked and greasy. Ended up throwing it in the bin.

Excellent chippy, wouldn't go anywhere else when I visit Largs. We all enjoyed our meals, fish was tasty, chips were fresh out the fryer. Salt and pepper squid was a hit as well. Highly recommend.

We ordered a fish and chips in breadcrumbs as I cant tolerate batter. The fish smelt disgusting and the taste too. I think they gave us the cheapest fish, never again. Used to be a good place but downhill now, yuk!

Used to be a great chippy, but has gone downhill... Travelled 16 miles down to Largs especially for a fish supper, but usual place was closed so thought we'd try the Viking again.... Still have heartburn this morning because the fish was like rubber and very greasey.... Go across the street to The Fish Works, it may cost a bit more but well worth it

I have never been served such horrendous chips! Reheated, like rubber, so bad I couldn’t eat them and chucked them in the bin. I spent £3.40 on them. Never going back.

Great food and friendly staff , highly recommend best chip shop in largs!!

We came here one midweek night to get fish suppers and sit on the beachfront. Just amazing - the fish was so fresh (we had to wait 5 mins but it was worth it) and the chips were delicious. It’s clean and tidy, the staff are friendly and the food is amazing. Well worth the trip for us - I highly recommend it.

Delicious fish & chips. Quick service.

Got 2 fish suppers today ...amazing thank you..

Dont order a cheese pizza if you dont like garlic...ordered this tonight and cant taste cheese or tomato..pure garlic and gritty as if garlic salt had been poured over it...maybe the bin enjoyed it..

Fantastic fish n chips, so fresh and tasty. Staff uniforms with aprons and flat caps very smart and cool looking, a bit cheeky blinders. No viking statue outsude when we went last week - assuming he's shielding lol (covid pandemic joke) - also good hygiene measures, queue order one of two at a time inside, given ticket number and wait outside, suitably socially distanced until order ready then they shout your number, sorted!

Got a seriously delicious black pudding supper with a side order of curry sauce for the chips, I don't normally like that type of curry sauce but I was sharing with my daughter and she wanted it and it was fantastic. I'll be back!

Typical fish and chips shop. Friendly staff, quick service, could do with some signage on covid procedure.

This is a review from the invisible woman. After the people in front of me were served, and the delivery orders went out, and two customers behind me were served with fish suppers, I asked for my money back. I was only looking for two fish suppers.The assistant asked me to wait while she served another customer! The owner said it was because we had to wait for fish. Make sense to you??? Me neither.

Got fish & chips on Saturday delicious 😋

Worst chips I've ever had and service was shocking.

Food was so so at best and very expensive for what it was

Great fish n chip at a decent price

Just got a sausage supper chips were cold . And rock hard scrappy things . Think they were last nights reheats . Disgusting .

Great customer service, chips are the best in largs, great fish always fresh, would highly recommended!!

Excellent service and freshly made to order.

Was in on Monday night, ordered quite a large order, no faults atol with the order everything was delicious and fresh, staff couldn’t be anymore helpful and friendly, definitely recommend to anyone and I’ll certainly be back.

Used to love this chip shop. Tue got fish and chips. Fish greasy and chips looked horrible. Complained told fish is served as it comes out for quickness. Will not be back. Charged me 10p dearer for each fish supper as prices on board had not been changed. Very rude staff. I fried in chip shops and would never serve food like they did

Lovely chips and nice wee fella serving

Amazing food very good customer service

Got to be the worst fish & chips ever! Chips were cold! Fish was that small I wondered how it got caught! Just couldn’t stomach it so didn’t eat it, straight in the bin! Would not recommend this place to anyone! Was definitely a tourist portion, that’s SMALL & COLD! Wish I had read reviews prior to going, it does not surprise me that some customers have suffered food poisoning after eating from this place!

Bad attitude and disgusting food,

Great place for food Always clean and friendly

Best Chip Shop in Largs . I've been going here since 2003

Used to be good but has gone drastically down hill. As mentioned by most others, staff shouting at customers, not forgetting that time I was told that they didn't sell something bearing in mind it was on the menu which was right behind the guy serving.

28-8-18 1400hrs Unfortunately I didn't read the reviews before buying my lunch here. It was disappointingly small, expensive and definitely not very good. I won't be back.

Disappointed today with the chips. Didn't taste very fresh as well as grease pouring out from the box all .would usually give top marks as definitely the best chippy in Largs and surrounding areas but really disappointed.

Black pudding not cooked properly - still cold in the middle. Worst chippy I've had. And yes, even though I didn't eat it all, i was sick during the night, so thanks!

Been getting away with murder for decades. Now a real chippy has emerged in Largs (Fish Works), I expect we'll be having a Viking funeral for this shady establishment. Last time I had to eat from here I threw my fish at a nearby gull who promptly threw it back in disgust. Muck.

Don't like this fish bar there is a better one in largs called the fish works on the promenade

Good enough service. Portions were decent enough.

Service appalling. Shouting at customers and giving out wrong orders with out an apology in sight. Terrible place😡
