Real shame the cafe closed. The meals were really nice and very good value.

This fish and chip shop with cafe is very good indeed. The haddock was so fresh and the chips were crisp and tasty. The value is first class, the portions are generous and the staff are friendly and helpful. Real chip shop vinegar too and a selection of old fashioned sweets! Well worth visiting for some of the best fish and chips you will have anywhere.

Sweet Chilli Haggis with spicy chips, carton of Irish curry sauce. So looking forward to this, unfortunately they must have dropped the spicy seasoning in my meal. It was thick on both the chips and the haggis, making both nearly inedible. Only saved a portion of the meal by scraping the seasoning into the bin. Definitely not recommending this chip shop, poor meal and very poor service.

Truly has to be the best fish and chips we’ve tasted for years. Def worth a take away then enjoy at the beach.

Best in the town by along way these days, spicy haggis are absolutely delicious, chips are perfect everything cooked while you wait and cooked in veg oil

Always fresh and always hot, this is without a doubt the best chippy in Annan. Fish tastes like it was caught this morning.

Called in mid afternoon on a miserable December day. The food was lovely and the place was immaculate.

What a lovely meal my family and I have just enjoyed from here. It took about 20 mins to wait, but it's cooked fresh to order and if you phone ahead, the wait won't be as bad. The chips are to die for and the haggis was unbelievable in every way from flavour to texture to even the batter, it was phenomenal. highly recommended. I'm going for the foot long sausage next time I go there. I can't wait. I took mine home but they have a seating area inside and even double as a sweet shop. Very enjoyable, highly recommend.
I doubt many cafes do all three of these, but it its possible to go the Solway Cafe, order some fish and chips to take away, buy some old style sweets like midget gems from jars, and have a sit down meal, which makes it really unique. Also if you do decide to eat in, the meals are very reasonably priced. £ 5.50 is excellent for macaroni and chips, the portions were generous and well cooked. Staff were friendly, as were the regulars, and I had a little bit of banter with Marco( one of the staff) about England losing in the Euros. A nice cafe with all meals well under £ 10 and their drinks are reasonably priced. For those of you who like old fashioned sweets, 100 grams will cost you a reasonable£ 1.10. Do visit the Solway Cafe, which is in Annan town centre on High St, as it's a bargain and the meals are good value.

It's been a while since I reviewed the Solway Cafe as I've always found this establishment to be first class. The food is fresh and cooked to order, there is no pre-cooked food in their hot cabinets. Their fish & chips were first class as always, but they really do need to sort out the way that they take orders as the staff seamed to be confused as to what customers had ordered.

We've used this place 2 or 3 times now; we had to come back after just getting some really nice chips when walking past one cold and blustery day. It is a normal chippy, but also has a sit down part where you can just have a coffee/ tea (food is chip shop menu). Being a cafe you can get chippy type food from around midday right through to when it closes at night, rather handy. The weird extra bonus is it is also an old fashioned sweet shop, selling loose sweets by the 1/2, sorry 250g. It sells other sweets too. Bought Lemon bon-bons for the journey back home... Back to the food, the fish is highly recommended, caught from sustainable fishing grounds, it was a home made pie which was really nice, chips excellent, mushy peas excellent (no good for veggies though as they had pieces of ham the day we ate in the cafe). There was a good range of other items including some odd ones (sweet chilli haggis?) so likely to be something you fancy.
