We were back in Helensburgh after a 2 year gap and had to return to The Upper Crust, believing it couldn't be as good and fun as last time. We were not disappointed at all and had a great evening along with the other diners. It is quirky and different, and the food is excellent with a good choice on the menu and specials board. The owners, Roger and Mary run it themselves, with Mary in the kitchen and Roger front of house. Roger is so entertaining and the whole experience is more than just a meal. We are normally private people, just wanting to enjoy our own company, but have never been anywhere else where you relax so easily and end up talking with fellow diners - all down to Roger and his manner. None of us there that night wanted to leave, and we all stayed far longer than expected - again, all down to Roger and his great company. It was one of the best nights we've had in a long time and we'll be back as soon as we can! Thank you Roger and Mary

Excellent afternoon of great food, starters and mains while staying in the adjoining hotel. Would highly recommend to any family or friends. The person looking after us so well was Marc, and despite the service being super busy due to good weather he looked after us really well. Again being busy the food came out super quick and hot and was delicious. Thanks All.

We only had coffee but it was really well made and not too expensive. There was a small range of fresh cakes. The rest of the menu looked good. The café is next to the marina so very convenient for that, but it is worth stopping of you are driving past. At the time of our visit the café was open Weds-Sun only, which may be a business necessity, but it is unlikely to help the business grow.

We had lunch here today as the Continental was closed. We were pleasantly surprised after reading the bad reviews. I had a ham salad sandwich on granary bread. It was really substantial. Full to the brim with ham, lettuce, onion, tomato, cucumber and red pepper and only £3.80. My husband had a fish finger sandwich which contained four fish fingers in a large roll. We had a bottle of sparkling water and the total came to less than £10. Our order came in about ten minutes so the service wasn't bad at all.

**Review of Lido Chip Shop in Helensburgh: A Pizza Lover’s Delight** If you’re looking for a chip shop that goes above and beyond the usual fare, Lido Chip Shop in Helensburgh is a must-visit. While known for their classic fish and chips, their pizzas are an absolute standout. Yes, you read that right—pizzas at a chip shop! And let me tell you, they are fantastic. During my recent visit, I tried their **Pepperoni and Jalapeño Pizza**, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The base was perfectly crispy yet chewy, with a generous topping of high-quality pepperoni and just the right amount of spicy jalapeños to give it a kick without overwhelming the palate. The cheese was melted to perfection, and the tomato sauce had a rich, tangy flavor that tied everything together beautifully. What impressed me most was the attention to detail. For a chip shop, the pizza felt gourmet—fresh ingredients, well-balanced flavors, and a portion size that left me thoroughly satisfied. It’s clear that Lido Chip Shop takes pride in their offerings, whether it’s their traditional dishes or their more unconventional creations like pizza. The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was exactly what you’d expect from a cozy, local chip shop—welcoming and unpretentious. If you’re in Helensburgh and craving something a little different from the usual chip shop menu, do yourself a favor and try their pizzas. You won’t be disappointed. **Rating: 5/5** Lido Chip Shop has truly mastered the art of pizza-making, and I can’t wait to go back and try their other varieties. Highly recommended! J,
