Pittencrieff Park (AKA The Glen) has an entrance just opposite the Abbey and is lovely for a stroll about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one along from the Foundry was the worst, despite its excellent location. Was also a decent one just off Townhill Road somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original at Nethertown Broad Street and another on Lynburn Road. The one at Nethertown always seems busy. I don't eat chippies anymore as I'm trying to lose weight, so can't tell you how good it is these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Quite like the Brig but find it quite pricey and IIRC you only get one bit of fish in a fish supper whereas most others give you two. The place that has taken over Alari's and the Hook and Catch (very nice also) out by Tesco Duloch are the only sit-ins left I think. I quite like the Marini's on Aberdour Road but in the town centre there are two that are meant to be decent - Fishbook opposite the old fire station and the Golden Chip past the swimming pool. Not been in either so can't really offer much help there I'm afraid @Stellaboz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) Golden Chip is my nearest and although I don't often get a takeaway, it's always been decent any time I've popped in.

Shandon Par Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 As a total pig/human dustbin, I’d say Golden Chip is top drawer. Shut for their hols just now though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're at the abbey then your in the "city centre" so there are plenty of traditional pub grub places to go to. Old Inn, 7 kings, city hotel, commercial, somewhere else and spoons. There also the ballroom that do American diner sort of stuff. As for the best chippy debate. Golden chip when its open is decent, my go to is genarros on Robertson road. Brig is decent but pricey. As for sauros, it's not even the best chippy in abbeyview, Been poor for last few years imo. Still to try that place that used to be alaris tho heard it's good. As for the rest, all a bit hit n miss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 Can confirm the Golden Chip has re-opened as I walked past earlier and there was a queue out the door. Also teenagers arguing over a bottle of vodka but viva la fife 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I’d say The Brig at Duloch is better than the original one. Had a couple of fish suppers from there that even I struggled to eat due to the general whiff of dirty old cooking oil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep fried like a normal supper but like smokie n that. Unbelievable. Often pop up with the auld man just for that, sit in restaurant n everything. Had a chippy in Taunton the other day...nae sauce.
