Went for chips and sausage, not too hard, couldn’t understand the English I was speaking, waited 23 minutes, one person In front of me, so not busy ag all, when i got out side the grease was seeping through the paper, chips tasted of dirty oil. Found the nearest bin and put them in it. Avoid, staff very rude.

This is a slightly out of the way takeaway serving both all the normal chip shop options plus a reasonably large Chinese menu as well. It is very popular and busy every time I visit and I would recommend phoning in an order. I have done this several times and the orders were always waiting at the agreed time. Great fish and chips and pattie suppers Recommended

Slightly out of the town centre, but one of the best fish and chips our family has had in a while. Can see why it's very popular with the locals.

We ordered a takeaway to be delivered whilst visiting the area. Food was lovely and didn’t disappoint! Plentiful and tasty.

Ordered 1 Orange Chicken and 1 Chicken Chow Mein, the Chicken in the Chow Mein was under cooked and tasted rubbery, the rest was fine!!

One of the few places open when for food on a monday in october in Kirkwall and we were glad to find it! Up an alley in a little shop behind some houses - thank goodness for sat nav! Extensive Chinese menu plus some English options and our choice, fish and chips. Freshly cooked and reasonable at £7.10 per portion. Quite a queue when we left so obviously popular with the locals.

We found this unusual little fish n chip shop down a lane at the back of a house. Run by Chinese who supplied Chinese food as well, plenty of chips and generous size of fish.

We ordered Chinese food from Willows while in Kirkwall. It was good, love the crispy duck and sweet and sour chicken.

The Willows is clearly very popular locally. It's in a residential area so may be a little off the beaten track for some visitors. If you're looking for traditional fish and chips or other takeaways beat a path to their door.

Lovely, fresh fish and chips served warm. One of the best chip shops I've been to in Scotland, and I've been to quite a few! Don't miss it if you visit Kirkwall - it's the best in town.

On our visit to Orkney after a hard day doing touristy things we decided on carry out, and took to Google to find the best chippy in town. The Willows Takeaway was highly rated and to our surprise just around the corner from where we were staying. The location, and access, is a bit surprising as it appears to be in the back garden of somebody’s house. However, I can confirm the food was piping hot and beautifully cooked and definitely recommend it.

The Scotsman recently published a list of the top ten chip shops in Scotland. This included a chip shop in Shetland and one in Golspie but nothing from Orkney. I can honestly say I have never tasted better haddock and chips than those I get at the Willows. They also do delicious patties plus all the usual chip shop fare and an extensive Chinese Menu. Service was quick and friendly. Our portions were large and the suppers delicious. The only minor criticisms are that the customer waiting area is very small and unless you know where the Takeaway is located it can be difficult to find. Finally shame on you Scotsman. The Willows should be in the top ten.

Tiny hidden gem of a fish & chip shop with added chinese food Well worth looking for in Kirkwall. Fast and friendly service

This place has gone down hill a lot. Used to love going here but the quality isnt what it was a few months ago

I heard great things about the willows but i just thought it was pretty avarage. the waiting area was cramped, the lady who took my order spoke very little english so it was quite embarrasing with the room full of people who could hear it...

Have used this take away before (usually for a Chinese happy meal) and decided to have a double pattie supper for a change. The pattie was ok but the chips weren't even cooked - couldn't eat them!! Very disappointing. Service was pleasant and quick -...

Fantastic food, quick service, great choices and reasonable priced. Better to phone and place the order as they are very busy.

So sorry to have to write this, but our fish and chips this evening were probably the worst we have ever tasted! We ordered at the counter, and had no sooner turned away when our food was presented - so it was obviously not cooked...

A little tucked away, but what a gem to find. It also has a Chinese menu and is very popular with the locals. We were lucky as a local put us on to it. Yum yum.

a quick stop for lunch with fryer-fresh chips and freshed fried sausage. Consistently good food from the best chippy in Orkney.

One of the things I miss, no longer living in Orkney, is a pattie supper. The Willows patties bring back memories of suppers bought from Bews' Chippy on Junction Road. They are delicious, as are the fish suppers. Huge portions perfectly cooked. There is a...

Found this chippy through trip advisor and the reviews were all great, and true to reviews a great chippy.

Great to pop in and have a double pattie supper. Great chips too. Small area to stand but worth the wait.

Tried this difficult to find takeaway on our first night on the island. I realise now that they do not specialise in Fish & Chips but we tried them anyhow. Portion sizes were large but everything was greasy, with the fish overcooked and tasted as...

Came here for supper one night whilst home in Orkney. It is very small inside but great food. Had a pattie supper, others had jumbo saidage supper or fish supper. All cooked to perfection with a lovely batter. Fresh chips too were great. Great chippie...

The website says open 10-5. This is only the gift shop not the brewery. Brewery tour times change daily. Staff said they expect tourists will phone ahead to ask about daily tour times. None of this information is on their website. Drove 40 minutes from Kirkwall for nothing

Spoiled for choice, all sorts of delicatessen to pick from. Not super cheap or expensive but had a good browse and bought some relish, cheese and oatcakes.

Lovely tearoom with lots of options (including those for vegetarians): baked potatoes, salads, soups, sandwiches, falafel, burgers, cream teas, cakes and traybakes. The crab roll must be popular as it was sold out when we visited. On popularity - best to ring ahead and book a table if you can (no dogs allowed inside, outside there is a small uncovered seating area where they are welcome). I hope to visit again. I have eaten a lot of rocky road in my time, it is my favourite thing to get if it is on the menu so I consider myself quite the connoisseur. The rocky road at this tearoom is the best I’ve ever had. Staff also very friendly, and there is a wonderful view out to Brough of Birsay.

Just back from staying 3 nights in the wonderful very dog friendly Lynnfield Hotel in Kirkwall. We have stayed in several other hotels in Kirkwall but none of them came up to the standard of the Lynnfield Hotel. Malcolm and his staff couldn’t have made us feel more welcome than they did. Our room, the Melsetter Suite was just wonderful. A fantastic mira shower and a space age jacuzzi bath etc etc! The food was simply delicious. We had intended eating elsewhere on one of the nights but after dinner in the Lynnfield Hotel the first night we continued to eat in house for the duration of our stay. For dog owners, look no further. All the staff are very dog friendly. Rusty our Welsh terrier can’t wait to go back! Very highly recommended.

Simon is the person who served us each day this week. Very dry sense of humour & not a man to be rushed! The coffee and teas are good. Small selection of eats - a fab coconut and chocolate cake and hot pies. Only 4-5 small tables available ( and takeaway). Only seems to be open around 9am or 9.30am, not 8am as advertised. Good old fashioned easy listening music.
