Wee Hurrie in South Ayrshire

I don't know why this is not the best chippy in the uk the food was perfection the staff are great the only thing I can complain about is that the restaurant is not open yet I travel 70 miles just to get the food from here amazing just amazing

Well, I never what an amazing place we had the Tampura king prawns, and they were awesome and fresh with a spicychillisauce, moist with a light batter the chips again cooked to perfection. Highly recommend. Staff very welcoming and friendly 😊.

Excellent fish and chips. My favourite is the monkfish. A bit more expensive than the other places in town.

Troon's Wee Hurrie fish & chip shop is located in the harbour next to the very fishing fleet likely that catches the chippie's fish. The chippie has an enviable reputation for knockout dinners and the locale ticks the boxes for a must-visit when you're in town.

Moved to Ayr a couple of years ago since then I hadn’t managed to find a fish and chip outlet that serves fish worth eating until now. The fish at the Wee Hurrie is probably the best piece of fish I can ever remember eating I have never had any better anywhere in the UK .And the chips were fantastic and a very good portion of both fish and chips the tartare sauce and lemon slice was another really good touch.Thank you, I will be back fantastic

Was in Trune and looking for best chippee place around. Think I found it! This was a no frills take out only place near the docks. Service was fantastic and quick. I’d say this meal was delicious, wish there was some outdoor seating. Ended up eating on my car bonnet. If you’re in the area and want some good fish and chips, give this place a try! I highly recommend it. Come out and support the local businesses and avoid chains.

The best fish and chips I have had. Would recommend breaded haddock. The fish was big enough for two and their mushy peas was a yum !!

The Wee Hurrie is quite simply…the best! And it pains me to use that phrase for obvious reasons to many but if you like good fish & chips then eating here is a no-brainer. It’s takeaway only. Don’t lose your buzzer for when your food is ready. And do yourself a bigger favour and order the king prawn tempura…magnificent!!! Also, don’t be like one woman and ask if they do sausages. The menu is clearly written in English and displayed on the wall outside.

One the best fish&chips I ever had in the UK, if not the best! Fresh fish, delicious batter, light yet tasty. If I’m remotely nearby, I treat myself. I’d recommend monkfish as well as haddock.

It's just absolutely delicious 😋

Fish straight from harbour, cooked perfect, chips equally as good worth the visit

Very good . Be prepared to q , had a sea bass supper

Struggled to give this any stars, cod portion was shockingly small, chips were nothing special. Staff looked embarrassed when I complained, they were pleasant and apologetic. I paid £9:80 for cod n chips, check pic of what I got. Ruined my fish at the harbour experience I’ve been planning all day. Won’t be back here and wouldn’t recommend you go unless your happy with kids portion of fish.

Fish & Chips as they should be. Freshly made on the coast - well done! For the bean counters, the beer was out of our fridge ... BYO ;-)

September 2024 - pretty good fish n chips. Fish particularly good and fresh the way it should be so that's the main thing. Chips acceptable though not spectacular. £12 pound though for fairly modest sized fish n chips is pretty damn steep despite the good quality food . £8.80 Price on menu is for single fish only - its not clear that chips are extra until you get hit with the bill. Not sure if same proprietors own the former restaurant next door but i wish someone would either do something with it or even just tidy it up a bit - its a shame lying full of junk and mess. cheers.

One of the best fish and chips we have had.

Looking at some of the previous reviews here, I can’t believe we went to the same place as we found this chip shop to be excellent. Yes we waited in a queue for our order, but it was well worth the wait, haddock was huge and fantastic along with the chips that were cooked to perfection, something that is very hard to find nowadays. Yes its dear, but again it’s well worth the price It must be doing well as it was very busy on a Tuesday evening Will return next time in Troon

Very nice fresh cooked chips . Friendly service couldn’t ask for more .

Usually the best fish. Last time still good but not as good.

Super fish n chips. Freshly cooked to order, any fish you want. Great selection

Waited 90 minutes for fish and chips Really not worth the wait

Worth the wander out of town, and the perfect scenic views to eat are just around the corner.

It took two hours to get 2 fish suppers and a tub of mushy peas. It cost £28. Very expensive, the fish was excellent but chips not great and peas ok. We had no idea how long the queue would take or that you then wait again about another 20 mins for your order. It was just disappointing.

Food was delicious we will be back for more

It was a 4 1/2 hour drive to Troon and Wee Hurrie, and every mile was worth it for the experience. Wee Hurrie was quite the surprise – a small chippy with just a window to place your order and another to collect it. Upon ordering, we were handed a buzzer to notify us when our meal was ready, allowing us to wander a bit and take in the sight of the fishing boats in the nearby harbour. There was limited standing space outside, with tall, bar-like tables, and a partial sail cover offering some shelter from the rain. Parking was plentiful on either side of the shop, and just around the corner, there was a car park with sea views and a walking path with benches along the way. The service and food were excellent, as expected. The battered sea bass was a generous portion, fresh and flavourful, with a light, crisp batter that wasn’t oily in the slightest, and it was served with a slice of lemon and tartare sauce. The spicy chips were a nice touch, and the tempura squid was outstanding, fresh and tender, and paired with a slice of lemon and a sweet chilli dip.

Couple of suppers ordered lemon sole in breadcrumbs and a portion of mushy peas at a pricey £30 fish lovely and crispy the chips tasty but overdone and chewy the peas were cold very busy with a ten minute queue and then another 15 minute wait for the food I'm putting the negatives down to the place being very busy but for the price it was really nothing to write home about service was pleasant and cheery.

We walked up here to have lunch and it was ABSOLUTELY amazing! It was the best scampi I have ever eaten (and I get scampi anywhere that sells it). One downside is that there's no seating, however we walk3d to the edge of the peninsula and sat on the benches that are there Would visit Scotland just to go here again

You really have to go here! The fish and chips, and the salmon cakes were a hit with my family.

Was a great little Fish and chips shop the food was good.

This wee chippy is in my top five chip shops in Scotland. Fish was really good with a very light and crisp batter. And I have visited a lot off chipshops over the years. And some really bad ones. It's a wee bit pricier than some but well worth the extra few quid. I give it 9/10

Great wee gem in Troon, fish supper was amazing and we walk round corner and sat by the sea to eat it.

Easily the best Haddock supper I've had exceptional 👌

Just the best fish and chips evetytime. Watch Seals playing in the harbour while you wait. Superb

The best fish and chips I’ve ever had. It’s regularly worth the drive from Glasgow AND the 45 minute queue.

So far for me. The best fish and chips in Scotland. It can't be cooler. Good flavor and good fries. The place is very busy on Sundays. The only thing is that there is almost no space to consume on site. And it's outdoors. The service is acceptable.

Had an assortment of stuff. Fish & chips were excellent- so were the fish cakes, tempura prawns and bag of big baws. There is parking on either sides of the shop with a bit of shade on the further side - can sit there, have your food and enjoy the views as well. I would really recommend the bag of baws to get different flavours. Nice fresh fish and chips were good quality fried to perfection😁😁😁

We waited 25mins to place our order and then waited another 20mins till the buzzer alerted us that our 2 haddock suppers and a portion of spicy onion rings was ready. We had asked for extra salt and vinegar on one of the suppers but when we tried them there was no salt and vinegar on either of them which ruined the experience. The fish was the saving grace as it was perfectly cooked. The onion rings were very oily and one of the rings was inedible due to the tough texture of the onion. Overall we were underwhelmed and probably won't rush back. 3 hours later and I can still taste the oil in my mouth.

Everyone's a winner. Never had a bad meal.... and a wee view to enjoy, for free! Love a trip to Troon... and not just for the golf😉

Hidden Gem, well worth a try, fresh food, pricey however worth it.

Food better than others in the area. Main disappointment is that after waiting 40 min to order, there was no scampi left. Also no scampi the next time I visited. Would be good if a menu was placed up the queue line with details of what is out of stock so that customers know before getting to the window. Would also speed up the queue as customers could browse the menu and decide what they’re having before ordering.

Unfortunately although they offer Gluten-free options, they don't have any dedicated fryers so the food is all cooked in gluten. No options for Coeliacs, not even the chips.

Best fish and chip shop, so tasty😋

It's a bit pricey but the food was delicious and it's freshly cooked as you wait. Generous portion. We travelled from Irvine so ate ours in the car. If we'd lived closer would have taken them home. As a special treat would highly recommend

Just had the monkfish supper and a haddock single between us. Absolutely beautiful, better than the one in Largs that’s meant to be Scotlands finest! 😋😋😫

Fabulous fish and chips both cooked to perfection good service even with the huge queue! Pleasant staff too

Outstanding seafood worth the wait. Take your food round to the carpark with a view of Bute...beautiful whatever the weather 😉

Nice little shop in a quiet location. The fish and chips were great but the grilled lobster was a little rubbery probably overcooked. Travelled quite a distance to try the lobster and was disappointed 😞

I'm not bothered to walk all the way to the end of the dock

My first visit there food was very good .

Take out only. Very organised. Very popular nor surprising as cod and chips were excellent, made to order.

Outstanding fish and chips. Light, airy batter. Hot, buttery fish and the best chips I have had, ever so slightly crisp. Mushy peas were fresh and the whole portion was generous. Top stuff

Good food, more expensive but worth it for the quality

over priced, terrible chips, small fish and charging 60p for a tiny pot of tomato ketchup ( filled up from a catering tub to save them money and profiteer from their loyal or unsuspecting customers.

we have eaten at this chip shop many times and although pricey, most times it’s tasty. today, the chips were absolutely disgusting. cut thin and uncooked as normally they are crispy like triple cooked chips are. they were soggy, burnt brown colour/taste and greasy. (i suspect old potatoes) the fish was 2 small whiting, the batter was also greasy, the fish itself tasted okay. i questioned why i’d been charged for tomato ketchup (60p) and apparently it’s not free on top of £3.50 for a disgusting bag of chips. They’ve been getting away with 60p for sauce for a long time, so now I’m exposing this to unsuspecting travellers. we won’t go back!!

Just had the worst fish and chips ever . Absolutely swimming in grease ! The chips were barely cooked . Surprised as on previous visits the food was lovely .Most of today’s went in bin. If weather hadn’t been so wild I would have gone in to complain and ask for a refund . After today’s offerings we certainly won’t be back

I hadn’t been here for a good ten years and was pleased that the monkfish tails supper was still on the menu. And still excellent. First rate fish n chips overall. Recommended.

Fab little chip with a great away of choices

Chips and lobster 🦞 were delicious 😋

The Whiting used to be lovely was there on Sunday very dissapointed was absolutely swimming in grease, sorry to say wont be back

First timer and I didn't read any reviews beforehand. We walked from Troon as it was a nice day i.e. not raining. We would take the car if the weather was not so nice though as this is window service with no sheltered area. There were two tables outside but no seats. There was no rubbish bin either. Fish and chips were delicious. Thanks to the young lads serving too as it was a bit busy so l can imagine how hectic it would be on a hot and busier day!

Fish was excellent, however the chips were really disappointing

The portions at 'The Wee Hurrie' are not for the faint hearted. Someone recommended this place as the best Fish & Chip Shop and they could well be right! It is right down on Troon Harbour and there is parking available right next to the building but we parked quite a bit further back because the walk down along the sea front is stunning. We ordered cod & chips x 3, spicy onion rings, squid tempura & spicy chips, 1 coffee, 2 teas & a soft drink and it came to £56 - £14 a head! The amount of food that we got for that was astounding and the cod came with tartar sauce, the squid tempura with sweet chilli sauce and it was all amazing. The fish was so fresh, the batter was perfect and we got to watch the seals in the harbour during our very short wait for our order. We were so thankful for the recommendation.

This was the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. We enjoyed haddock and cod with chips. Both were extremely fresh, with crispy batter and flaky, delicious meat. Do note that we got a lot less cod than haddock but that’s expected. Overall both portions were perfectly filling! The chips were also well cut, well fried and were crispy and fluffy, and even got some scraps! My partner noted she would prefer a “soggier” chip but I disagree. The menu is limited in comparison to other chip shops but obviously when you’re at the end of a port you are going to get fish! Price was very reasonable for quality and came to £20-odd for the 2 meals, which included tartar sauce which came with the meal. Limited seating, and only a small standing area to eat at the actual site. Around the corner there is a car park with benches that overlook the water and there also space for cars to park. It’s literally at the port, so don’t expect a glamorous place! We arrived just after 12pm, and there were only a few people waiting. By the time our food was made it was much busier with 20/25 people waiting, so expect a wait! 100% recommend!

A wee gem hidden away in Troon, do your best to find it. Food freshly made, they give you a buzzer and you sit in your car till they buzz you. We had taken our wee mum a trip down the coast & took our goodies to the shore to watch the waves. Very fresh & tasty. Mum shocked her by almost clearing her tray! Highly recommended 👌

Stopped off here for a fish supper and was not disappointed. The haddock was fresh and delicious, with light and crispy batter. The chips were well cooked and not at all greasy. Served with a slice of lemon and a wee pot of tartar sauce. Thoroughly recommended.

First time trying this chippy today. Now I’m put off every other chippy I’ve ever had cause this one is amazing!! Beyond perfection. I don’t usually like fish. But oh my god they tasted amazing. Always made nice and fresh and the batter 🤤 I would travel again just to have more of their fish and chips. Also it was a gorgeous view eating in the car and you see the Isle of Arran. Would a million percent recommend all you fish and chips lovers. This is greatest fish and chips shop. Ever. Absolutely amazing

I'll be back here in a Hurrie! Best fish n chips and ice cream! Had cod n chips. All cooked fresh. Pleasant staff. Top tip: Get the McCallum ice cream....worth the trip alone.

Hands down the best fish and chips in Scotland, excellent choice of seafood, and the chips are superb too.

They serve really excellent fish and mushy peas, but fluffy chips. The worst part is anyway that your waiting time you need to spend outdoors in parking lot in the rain and wind watching not very busy harbour:(

The food here was delicious. Long line/wait outside in the cold wind, but well worth it. The flavor of the batter is delicious and the spicy chips had a really nice flavor as well!! Tastes better when it's hot and tresh, so eat in the car!!!

Very well presented and tasty food. Will return here again

Fantastic range of fish in a light crispy batter, perfectly cooked fish, good chips, large portions. Everything is cooked to order so well worth a short wait.

Always a treat to visit Troon and the The Wee Hurrie for fish and chips. We got the Haddock and chips which was very nice.

Great wee chippy! Various types of fish for your supper, and various other things. Keep an eye out for their baws too! 😁

Brilliant quality fast service delicious, thanks.

It was a sunny Friday night tea time when we visited so there was quite a long queue. Buzzers provided after order placed to call you when your order is ready. We had the Frito Misto, a mixture of different chunks of fish - Battered cod, haddock, salmon and king prawn. Very tasty and worth the wait.

Fresh fish, twice cooked chips. Can be Very busy but worth the visit.

There was a big cue and wait but it was worth it.

Great food, fish & chips, mushy peas, the sit and admire the scenery just around the corner stunning views to Isle of Arran over the Firth of Clyde ... beware of the seaguls! And please do not feed them, as it only encourage them to attack your meal ...

Food is banging. Service is minging. The service due entirely to the popularity of the establishment and its well deserved reputation for serving up phenomenal fish and chips. It was especially busy on our visit because we were blessed with cloudless sky and scorching sunshine. Taps aff weather.

Well worth the visit freshest fish I've had in year's 5 🌟

Absolutely shocking prices for food. Feed a family of 4 and 4 soft drinks nearly £60. Oh and you only get half a slice of fish for that money..

The new king was born , I've tried so many fish and chips places and had my favorite for a long time till I came here , o my sweet Jesus, I tasted a piece of haven , everything cooked to perfection , it was one of these ratatouille moments , when you amazed repetitively after each bite , if I could, I would give more than 5 stars , you guys are a the best 👑 namaste 🙏😇😋

1st time trying here,got 2 haddock & chips 1 in batter the other in breadcrumbs,wow, both fantastic & generous portions the fish is one of the best I've had, excellent

Overpriced, lack of chip shop menu choice,chips where ok, batter on fish yuch, haddock was very over priced and portion size extremely small. My grandson had a large blond hair in his supper, Unfortunately, my grandkids and wife were up through the night being sick. We travel in our motorhome very often to various locations and buy suppers from fish and chip shops at all the locations we visit in order to keep money in the local economy. This place came recommended to us, I recommend do not touch it with a barge pole there is plenty of other fish and chips shops in Troon, Ayrshire

Travelled out from North Lanarkshire for the day and popped over to the Wee Hurrie. An oddly located, but otherwise superb fish and chip shop right on the edge of the harbour. The food was fantastic, very fresh, crispy and perfectly cooked. One of the best I've had. I'll definitely pop by again if I'm in the area.

Best fish and chips ever tasted

Really nice food. There were a few black bits on the batter, unfortunately that did let it down.

I was there last week with my daughter. We nipped in we had fish suppers I'm gluten free and they were amazing 👏 so tasty n freshly made great portion sizes n great quality n a good pricev👍🙂

I'd no idea this place existed until I'd decided to have a walk around the area. The food was exceptional & the service was great too. Now I know it's there, then I'll definitely be back, as will all the family & friends I've spoken to about it too.

Cracking place try the fritto misto it’s great

Great fish and chips, which I would claim to be among the best on the Ayrshire coast!!!

Great quality food cooked fresh to order. Worth the wait.

This gem has lost its way. The food isn't as good as it use to be. The chips were soggy and oily, the fish was not well fried and a little raw. Worst of the lot was the terrible service that didn't care much of the customers waiting. Needs to be restored to one of the best Fish and Chips places in Ayrshire but work needed to get there again. Get rid of the poor customer service and replace it with good old Ayrshire friendliness.

Not a high price and excellent quality! I recommend! And the queue shows that many people like it too! I wish you to enjoy it too!

The fried fish was perfect in every way... It wasn't heavy at all... ...But there was not good customer service...

One of the best in Ayrshire, The Frito misto is to die for, perfectly cooked, a squirt of lemon, what's not to love 🐟🐠🐠🐠

Different class. Delicious, fresh, portions of chunky fillets of fish and chips. I can’t take it… I’m heading over there now!!!

We travel over an hour to get here. Its worth it. Frito Misto is a Frito Musto
