"Restaurant and front of house spotlessly clean. The place for fish n chips in Rothesay. We sat in and enjoyed really friendly and fast service. The fish portion very generous and fresh, perfectly crunchy batter. Chips crisp 'n dry, with minted mushy peas. Highly recommend fried steak pie. They know what they’re doing and what they’re talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. A wait of 5 minutes to have roasting hot fish and chips is 5 minutes well spent!"

Chips not great, should not serve sub standard food. Either reheats or lying too long but very poor. Won't be back in a hurry, no excuse for not serving fresh food.

Ordered 2 fish and chips to take out. They were as good as you get nowadays, soggy chips but a well cooked crispy fish. The staff were busy talking to each other and made you feel you were bothering them.

I wish I'd bothered to read a few reviews before ordering. The fish was dreadful. The batter was a fat soaked sponge and totally in edible. I was looking forward to a crispy battered fish by the sea. The chips were OK. Service good, pleasant staff. However, it was a very disappointing takeaway. View menu

Just terrible. Service was so slow, ordered a cheese pizza which took ages to make. Fish supper we also ordered sat in the heated bit the entire time. Got the food home and it was awful. Pizza tasted so cheap, base and sauce so basic. The fish however was inedible and full of bones. All slimey inside. Didn’t have time to take it back. The 4 of us ended up just sharing the chips. AVOID

The staff were very friendly and the cafe was clean and pleasantly decorated. We ordered the fish tea. This was large portions, nicely presented but sadly the actual eating experience was a big let down. The fish was absolutely full of bones and extremely dry and the minted peas were bland. The tea cups were badly stained, which was very off putting. Such a shame our meal didn't fulfil its potential.

"On our last day here, killing time before the ferry, decided to try luncheon here. No expectations either way. And we were TOTALLY wowed it was just excellent. Trying not to put too many superlatives in this review, but it was really, really ace. We had a lovely table by the window overlooking the harbour where you could see dog walkers, children in wellies, crabbing, and little boats coming and going. Classic Islay. Then I have to mention the food. Jeez, it was top notch, and huuuuuuuge portions. I don’t think we’ve ever had four such consistently generous and fulfilling portions before. We had the scallops (massive, juicy, plentiful , the Crofter’s Platter, which was cheeses, hams, sausage rolls, salad, bread, chutneys; the soup massive bowl, loadsa crispy sourdough bread, and the fish and chips which was so big it draped over the plate! All delicious. Our guy, Andrew, was superb, so attentive and smiley and always bringing us more things, spoons, drinks, more bread, spoons, he was great. And we had a lovely chat with the very friendly and nice proprietor. She was wonderful. Really seemed to care about the place and her team. She told us all about the hotel and stuff it was really cool. We will most certainly come back here next time. You can’t necessarily get the best table every time, but we won’t mind if we don’t! : Oh, also, lovely clean loos!"
