"A brilliant place to get a chippy tea. Loads of choice, including deep fried battered pizza (Pizza Crunch), King Ribs, lovely curry sauce, great chips that are never greasy, generous cheesy chips and all the usual stuff. They also do milkshakes and frozen desserts, and service comes with a smile. Ring up and order in advance or wander round Wigtown for 20 minutes while they cook it fresh for you. Prices are fair too but they only take cash, so remember and bring some, or use the cash machine nearby, or get cash back at the Co op. Service: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Onion Rings, Full Pizza, Mushy Peas, Chips, Half Pizza, Full Pizza Fried Vegetarian options: No particular Veggie options, but great curry sauce and peas with chips."

The worst fish and chips we've ever had, and I mean that. As for the tomato sauce, there's just no words to describe it. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £20–30

A very small shop had to queue outside while waiting) but superb fish suppers! They were very busy, but provided the food efficiently and were very friendly.

After seeing the bad reviews for the chippy in Newton Stewart we searched online and found this gem. Cooked fresh to order and a lovely location to boot. The harbour is a great place to eat the food afterwards with views of the nature reserve and benches. Service: Take out Meal type: Dinner

Most soggy Fish and Chips we have ever had. We used this place last year whilst on holiday and it was good, so came back this year, ABSOLUTELY AWFUL, never again. We were told it would 10 mins but was nearer 20, definitely not worth the wait Service: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £1–10 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

I note the average stars for this chippy is 4.4. I must have gone on a bad day. Bought chips and curry sauce, and donner meat chips. I think they mixed up the donner meat and chips. The donner meat was over cooked and the chips were part cooked. The only edible thing was the curry sauce. Service was good, but the time taken to cook food was long. Price per person: £10–20 View menu

We regularly make the trip to The frying Scotsman, kebabs are superb, never once had a complaint from the kids and they manage to find fault in everything!! The staff are always friendly and welcoming when we go in, happy to do all the wee extras too! In fact, I'm having a chippy tea tonight, and guess where we are heading??

"Visited the Cree Inn one year ago at same time of year with my partner. We had an amazing experience. Waiter and chef were so warm and welcoming and the food was delicious, especially the homemade cheesecake. We ended up staying after dinner and having more drinks in the bar because it was so nice. However we returned this year and were so disappointed. Was unsure of serving times so called the restaurant during the day and was advised stop serving at 8.30pm. We arrived at 8pm (having worked in the catering industry prev I know this isn't an ideal time however we were on holiday and time got away it shouldn't have effected service). We were served by a young lad who had no customer service skills and looked like he would rather be anywhere else. We were the only two people in the full restaurant. He then advised us about all the menu options that were not available, which left little to choose from. I advised I would probably just have a starter and desert, while my partner finally decided on a starter and one of the burgers with all the extras. Waiter then came back and said no burgers available. At that point fed up with the negative atmosphere and limited food choice, we decided to just order two starters and then head somewhere else. We got two drinks and two desserts costing only £22 whereas had the service been the same as before and food items actually on the food menu that were advertised we would have easily spent upwards of a £100. When we come back next year we will not return."
