Delicious selection of ice creams and sorbets. Summer fruit sorbet was just the ticket on a roasting hot day.

Went for lunch. Really warm welcome and just got ourselves a table as it was reasonably busy (it was a beautiful day). Great homemade soup and sandwiches and tea that wasn't wishy-washy. Smashing selection of cakes available. Have to hand it to the staff for the lovely atmosphere and to the site for the brilliant views! Will be back.

Review of The Lido Chip Shop (Helensburgh) Pizza – A Shadow of Its Former Glory** For over **30 years**, The Lido Chip Shop’s pizza was legendary—a cut above the usual chip shop fare. Their original recipe had the **perfect balance** of a thick, doughy base, a rich, tangy red sauce, and **loads of deliciously melted cheese** that made it stand out. It was a local favourite for a reason—every bite was packed with flavour, and you could tell it was made with care. Sadly, **things have changed**. The new version uses different ingredients, and now it’s just… **average**. The cheese is no longer as generous, the sauce lacks its old depth, and the base doesn’t have that same satisfying chew. It’s not *bad*—it’s still an okay chip shop pizza—but compared to what it once was, it’s a **huge letdown**. If you never had the original, you might think it’s fine. But for those of us who remember how good it was, the new version just doesn’t compare. **Bring back the old recipe!** **Rating: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5) – Used to be 5/5, now just another bland chip shop pizza.** *Still hoping they’ll go back to the original way—nothing else in town came close!* --- **Anyone else miss the old Lido pizza?

Shockingly charged £9 for small tub ice-cream plus 1 cone. No prices displayed. Even if there was this was ridiculous prices for average ice cream, My advice would be try Dinos couple of doors down 👇

Consistently Underwhelming – The Palace Chip Shop’s Pizza Falls Short** Over the past two months, I have given The Palace Chip Shop in Helensburgh three opportunities to impress with their *Pepperoni Passion with jalapeños* pizza, hoping that initial disappointments were merely isolated incidents. Unfortunately, each visit confirmed the same shortcomings, leaving me still searching for a reliable replacement since my former go-to pizzeria changed ownership. The primary issue lies in the pizza’s execution. Advertised as featuring *extra cheese and pepperoni*, the reality is far from the promise. The cheese is sparse, often hardened rather than properly melted, and lacks the rich, stretchy quality expected from a well-made pizza. The sauce is equally minimal, resulting in a dry, underwhelming base. Even the weight of the pizza suggests a lack of sufficient toppings—holding it feels like holding a shell rather than a properly loaded pie. While the staff are polite and service is efficient, the product itself does not meet basic expectations for a satisfying pizza experience. A good pizza should be generous with its toppings, balanced in flavour, and visually appealing—none of which were consistently delivered in my orders. Given that this appears to be a recurring issue rather than a one-off mistake, I cannot recommend their pizza in its current state. For those seeking a hearty, flavourful takeaway pizza, it may be worth exploring other options in the area. A shame, as I had hoped this would become my new regular spot.

Very long wait. Not great value and not great food. Had been before for lunch a year ago and loved it. This experience was not the same.

The people behind the counter couldn't seem less interested in taking your order. I think I had to speak to 3 people, repeating my order to each, until one of them bothered to write it down They charged me full amount, but only gave me 2/3rds of the food (which I discovered when home). Charlatans
