A real shame as this used to be a brilliant chippy. Quality of food is still good although not quite what it used to be and quite expensive. However the biggest issue is the staff, rude, obnoxious and make mistakes with orders fairly regularly and make no apology when this is pointed out. Unfortunately this is a trend of the last few years and tongiht I felt the need to review after yet another encounter with an ignorant staff member.

Poor. Portion sizes terrible. Food wasn't bad. 7.50 for 8 pieces of scampi with not even a handful of chips lol small chip was very small. Had to get food after this. Never again no thanks.

Got chicken burger and gravy cheese chip the chicken burger was disgusting im sorry but I have to be honest, you could of throw it against a wall was rock hard. The gravy cheese chip we ended up thrown the whole order in the bin. This is worst food I've ever had.

Have never eaten here before but after getting terrible food at Maloney’s chip shop a few times I decided to try. Fish looked as if the batter was painted on. It was soft and the fish inside was steaming hot and so tender. I can honestly say it was up there with the best fish I’ve ever eaten. Chips were outstanding and so good! I got a carton of peas which looked terrible {pale and uncooked} how wrong was I ? They tasted amazing, despite looking as if they needed cooked. Now can’t wait for next weekend to get the same again……..amazing, simple amazing food.

Paid for fish and onion rings, £9.40. Refused same as over cooked and tiny. When I said it was smaller than any other chip shop in the area and we wouldn’t be able to share, I was told by the owner that they weren’t meant to be shared. Pensioners should not be expected to pay £14 for two small fish when they are on a tight budget. Humiliating to say the least. Got a terrific deal at the chip yard. Terrible experience and the owner is very rude.

We've used the crescent for about 15 years. Love the food but about 2 out of 3 orders has something missing. Really annoying.

Been to the Chippy a few times, I travel down from Carnmoney as most of the Chippys nearer to me are not great.The Cresent is much nicer food and good service.

Terrible service.. Orders not being checked resulting in Food not placed in bag.. When phone to complain told they could make it fresh or put our name on the board for next time.. Explained that was no good because either someone was going to watch the rest of us eat and have to wait or they would still have to wait and the driver eat his cold.. Don't think they were getting the fact we don't live 2 mins away.. Offer for a refund would have been nice.. Won't be back again
Waited 15 mins to order, no one served me. When ordered waited another 15 mins then told no chips left
Martin Edwards
