The Village Chippy in North Ayrshire

We had a out dinner from here last night. I can honestly say that it was the best fish we had tasted for a while. Everything freshly made while standing there. Defo be back when we come back this way. The Rodwell family Hamilton.

Banter and Batter ... is the best way to review this chippy :) First time we have been, looking for a chippy without going into Largs and found this on Google maps. Fish cooked to order, great portion size, came with mushy peas and tartar sauce. Drove 2 mins and ate on the beach looking over to Arran. Good banter while waiting, along with local history.

Very very good. Great food, quantity and price. Friendly staff. Our meal was bubble double for 7 pounds it was filling and delicious.

First time in West Kilbride and our fish supper was tremendous, Great price, freshly cooked and extra peas and tartar..

Nice place, nice food. Free pickles. Got called handsome (jokingly, but I'll take what I can get). What more can you want? Definitely worth a visit 👍

Rodger, has given westkilbride a proper chip shop. Super fresh local ingredients, keeping it in the village & friendly Banter. He was closing for the night and I was sitting over the road in my car and he asked me if I wanted chips for £0 better than wasting them. You wouldn't get that any were else! And his fish suppers are on par with whitby and Anstruther's

Really enjoyed our fish suppers! Great quality, good portions and really friendly staff full of knowledge of the local area! Highly recommend coming here.

I'm from Edinburgh and this was THE BEST fish and chips I've had for a very long time. Fish AND chips cooked freshly and both were delicious. Chip shops in Edinburgh should take an example from little businesses like this because the standard of food here is well above what's served in Edinburgh chip shops.

Have missed having a local chip shop, so was pleased to see the village chippy had reopened under new management. I bought two fish suppers which were freshly cooked, and well presented. I’m no stranger to a fish supper, so know a good one when I see it. Tasted as good as it looked. The owner and staff a wee bit of friendly chat as well, which helped pass the time while my fish were cooked to perfection. Use it or lose it folks.

What a lovely bunch. Nothing but polite and happy to help. Food is top quality. Just what I needed on a Friday after a long week.

Under new management. Freshly cooked and delicious…well done Bernie’s Get in there early though, these fish and chips are fresh and really popular. When it’s gone it’s gone.

Got my first fish supper a couple of weeks ago and can honestly say was one of the best I’ve tasted. Cooked fresh - chunky tasty fish in a beautiful crisp batter and a very generous portion of chips. 👍🏻

Under new management, the premises have benefitted from a complete clean up. Rodger is an excellent frier and the atmosphere was happy and exciting. Rodger uses authentic cooking fat to bring out a real taste in the chips and other food. He also owns the Cafe on Ritchie Street so this is a big boost for the village. Negative reviews here are clearly based on previous owners. Well worth a visit, excellent value with a great selection of food fried on the spot. Also has vegetarian options. Recommended.

hi just wanted to say they got my order completed wrong and i have been waiting for the longest amount of time in my life not happy #fishoff #curryupyou #fishingaboot

This was about the worst serving of fish and chips I have ever had the pleasure of

The girl serving was very pleasant. The food was shocking. Worst fish and chips I've ever had. The fish had obviously been cooked hours before. It was like eating leather and I can still taste the cooking oil the next morning. The chips were dark, greasy and rock hard. Straight in the bin. Total waste of money I'm afraid. On a scale of 1 to 100 this was a 1.

It's been a while since I last visited the village chippy and think it will be another while if I ever do decide to eat from here again. Was so looking forward to a nice chippy tonight but got the opposite as the food especially the chips were disgusting, the taste from them were repulsive which I put down to not changing the oil , there was even a horrible smell coming from them. Definitely wouldn't recommend.

Considering the price they could have changed the oil.

Absolutely disgusting, dirty oil and chips soaked in grease, won't be back. Needs better management.

Save yourself the money and go elsewhere. Easily the worst food I’ve tasted from a chippy. Filthy, greasy inedible and no amount of salt you drench them in can disguise the fact you’re not changing your oil. Straight to the bin yet again

Popped into the local chippy for some chips which ended up in the bin. Covered in grease and the chips smelled of old oil. It's a shame that this place isn't managed better.

If only the actual meals you got resembled the pictures advertised! That’s three times now we have collected meals from here (trying to give the benefit of the doubt) but given the cost of living crisis we are no longer going to be ordering food that goes directly into the bin. Don’t think the frying oil has been changed in a very long time, chips are cooked at wrong temperature and I can only assume drenched in so much salt to try to disguise the fact. How this place has survived a pandemic is a mystery. Worked in a chip shop for 4 1/2 years and we would have shut down serving food this awful

Fritters tiny, wait time about an hour and I'm only just along the road aswell, so don't use this chippy much sorry, wouldn't at all but ur the only chippy in West Kilbride

This must be the dirtiest chippy in Scotland. Will never go back, given them the chance a few times, but never again. the customer service is awful, stuff lying all over the floor. The person wrapping up the suppers, was handling coins for the till, then straight onto wrapping up food, without washing hands. The person doing the frying wore a filthy apron, looked as though it hadn't been washed for weeks. The fish was like cardboard, don't know how they get it like that ?

Food not the greatest but ok and when u ask for salt theres far to much salt put onto food which leaves it quite un edible

I got to the shop as they were closing for the day, but they couldn't have been nicer. I even got two fish for the price of one! The fish and chips were really tasty. I'll certainly be back!

I’m not one for leaving reviews but oh my…please for the sake of your business do the basics right and clean your oil daily and fry at the right temperature so your food isn’t saturated in grease! I would love to see a local business thrive, but you won’t last long unless you work on the quality. I won’t be back I am afraid which is very unfortunate!!

We are here on holiday and got an order delivered and it was excellent. Fish was cooked perfectly portions were huge . Fritters were like how how my grandad house to make them. Everyone enjoyed there meal.

Great chip shop and excellent service

Nice food, a little too oily but would try again!

We popped in here for the first time, we ordered some fish supper and a pizza supper, which were all cooked fresh right in front of us and the staff were very friendly too. The portions were a great size and the food was very tasty. The only criticism being that the pizza was far too oily. We would definitely try it again!

💯 brilliant chippy,food amazon, staff friendly 👏 would recommend a visit

Best fish and chips I’ve had in ages!! The young chap working there a little rude, but handsome! Would defo go again!!

Great wee chippy , well worth a visit .

Delicious fish and chips. Highly recommend

First time since new owners took over didnt disapoint fish was delicious so lovely great service.

Brilliant fish and chips, great portion size, friendly staff. Good prices. Give this place a go, you will not be disappointed!

This place was very busy. The portion size was great and the prices were reasonable. I would definitely recommend a visit to this place if you are in the area.

Chips slightly under done for my liking and had nothing ready so had a pretty long wait. The haggis blackpudding mix was great.

Great food, hot and tasty. Very friendly staff

Visited for the re-opening under the family who have taken over and wasn't disappointed. Friendly, quick service and great menu. We had the fish supper and blaggis supper..both delicious! Will definitely be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a blaggis supper WOW definitely recommend which is a black pudding and haggis combined and cooked in batter..not only is the food amazing but the family who run it make you feel so welcome I would highly recommend as there is something on the menu to suit everyone...I will definitely be returning.

What a find, the smell as you open the shop was a cracking start. Excellent food, loads of fish and served traditionally, we really enjoyed it. Many thanks Top tip, try the breaded fish and fritters

Really enjoyed my supper! Cheers! 😉👍

I’ve just popped in for a poke of chips on my way home to accompany our Sainsbury’s haddock which I can highly recommend. Best alternative to chip shop fish ever. (Other manufacturer products are available, just saying 🙂) Anyway, I digress. I ordered a LARGE portion of chips and having been told things would be ready in a few minutes I was more than happy to await a freshly cooked portion and took my place outside the establishment as per my fellow punters (masks donned). Whilst awaiting my order I took a minute to peruse their vast menu, lovingly adorned on their front window using a variety of A4 pages. A veritable Aladdin’s cave of Scottish specialty chip shop favourites. I couldn’t help but notice they had a “tier” section for their chip selection. A “small” portion, a “standard” portion and a “large” portion. By this time I feared the worse and having paid £3.20, I felt I’d overdone it and quite frankly been greedy. When I was called forward to collect my smorgasbord of fries, I hadn’t quite prepared myself for the level of absolute potato avarice that I had demonstrated with my , quite frankly disgustingly huge order. Thankfully I’m the size of a small harvest mouse and the other 2 guests I was feeding (a small toad and a South African grey snail) were on a diet, and therefore not particularly hungry. Needless to say the portion of “chips” I’d ordered were just about sufficient for the 3 of us. Just as well the fish was sooooo good. (Sainsbury’s, did I mention?) FYI the phone gives a great perspective of the fish to the “LARGE” £3.20 portion of chips. Moved to the area last year and will NEVER return. 5 minutes further into Largs and have a choice of proper fish and chip shops.

Ordered dinner from here over the phone and picked it up. So far so good. Until we got it home. Fish supper Sausage supper Portion of chips Portion of curry sauce £15+ I opened the fish supper and immediately saw the packaging was saturated in grease. I tried to lift one of the pieces of fish onto my plate and it broke apart in my hands and my hands were covered in grease. The chips could only be described as the small bits that are left at the end only whole portions of chips this size. The battered sausages were also so greasy and were a good bit smaller than usual. We have given this place so many chances as our local chippy as we wanted to support them but this unfortunately will be the last. Our visit was on the evening of Friday 20 August 2021. Really disappointed.

Had a poke of chips and they were crispy and really nice

West Kilbride it a lovely and friendly play to visit. A few people said Hallooo to us as they were out walking their dogs in the park. It has a wee burn running through the park too. One guy was at the spar shop with his two wee dogs, we had a wee laugh with him about the dogs knowing the park was a head and trying to keep the dogs under control with excitement. There is a Tenis park and a golf area too. This wee trip was worth the travel there. Nice wee chip shop too. I hope yous enjoy my photos and give it a like. Thank you.

I don't know what's happened to the chippy , but things have went downhill rapidly here. Ordered 2 supper's last night , both where half the size they used to be , sausages half the size , chips also cut very thin , very few decent sized chips there. Batter almost non existent and unpleasant . Don't think I will be back unless things change , very poor value for money.

I have used this chippy in the past , it was never the best but has went downhill rapidly. I ordered a sausage supper , the sausages are half the size they used to be as are the chips , the chips are cut so thin that there are very few decent sized chips there , it was mostly small crispy bits. The batter was almost non existent , portion sizes tiny. They do wee supper Wednesdays 2 for £5 , I dread to think what size they portions are. Very disappointed.

They do black pudding and haggis, chips and gravy. Yummy scrummy!

Went here after a trip to the beach with my partner and 10 year old son. The place looked dirty, I should have left but my son was hungry so I ordered. Big mistake... huge. The 4 members of staff didn't look very hygienic and neither did the delivery driver who I seen. The battered sausage looked horrid inside, not like a normal sausage. It looked like pink cheap uncooked meat and the batter was very poor looking and thin. I gave my partner one of my sausages because the look of it was putting me off and when I got half way through the one I kept there was a large bit of rubbery plastic stuff inside it. Even thinking about it now makes me feel sick. How does that even happen? Absolutely disgusting. I was disgusted that my son had already ate his. If he hadn't it would have went in the bin with the rest of the food. Avoid this place. Go somewhere clean and avoid a sausage surprise. So glad I found the name of this place on my online banking so I could write this. Tramps and unhygienic food is not what we were looking for after a lovely day at the beach. How this place is still open I will never know. Wish I took a photo but I felt physically sick I just wanted to get rid of it. Do not eat here!

Really great special fish fab chippy ❤️

Disgracefull. Inside can only be likened to a poorly kept public toilet. Staff dont seem very hygenic. Horrible food. Staff cant even wrap a portion of chips. No hair nets or anything.

Wee Wednesday supper is delicious! 2 for £5, can't go wrong. Lovely staff, will definitely be back, thank you!!

Nice clean modern chippy cooked fresh when ordered my fish was more batter than fish and chips had soapy tasting chips that could’ve done wi an extra minutes in the fryer pretty disappointed overall prep kitchen looked rather untidy and grubby staff were nice

What I like about this chippy is the fact that your order is cooked from fresh. The shop itself is very clean and modern displaying old pictures of the village. There is also a bench seat for your comfort while you wait. They prices are good which they also offer a "wee supper Wednesday" which gives you any 2 suppers for a £5 !!!

Never my first choice. Too greasy for me

Lovely food as ever. Everything was freshly prepared and the chips were really good. Pop in on a Wednesday and treat yourself to their 'Wee Supper Wednesday' deal: where you can get two slightly smaller suppers for just £5. Great value for money and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Nice friendly staff. Good meal deals.

Good food here Wednesday wee supper nite two suppers £5

Nice chips and excellent fritters

Lovely fish and chips. Friendly staff.

Recommend the chilli sauce pizza!

Sometimes the meals are only warm.. 😒

Happy friendly staff. Food good

Eveything cooked to order. Best special fish in North Ayrshire. Great service.

Great wee chippy food delicious

Nice wee chip shop, keenly priced, good fare, wonderful fritters! Friendly staff, reminiscent of shops from years ago, very welcoming, happy and courteous.

Always a wait on anything ordered, but food is generally good.

First time using the village chippy.food was fantastic.will be going back again.

Great wee chippy! They never seem to have peas though, even though they're on the menu :-(

First class Chippy, best chippy in Ayrshire
