    Had a really good jumbo haggis supper from Good Catch in Musselburgh last night. Really good quality food from there.

    My god the Nisa shop next door ain't half expensive though.

    It's a Spar now, but the prices haven't got any better!

    Has it ever been retained before and out of curiosity did you find that trade increased after the award?

    ps I'm not a reporter or chippy owner!

    This is only the second year of this particular awards so no it hasn’t. 😀

    Yes but not sure if because of award or not, our reputation has grown massively and our Google review scores are the highest of other chippys and the same on Just Eat etc. It will be four years since we opened in November and growth has been steady. Any publicity like like the award etc must help I reckon.

    That's great to hear, I was was always a regular at Rapido when I stayed in the area although I'm rarely down Broughton Street anymore so I've yet to sample your delights. Maybe next time I'm down at the Cask as the nights draw in I'll have to pop in for a pick me up

    Said it a few times on here but if you’re getting a chippy and you’re somewhere close to Scouse’s place I couldn’t recommend it enough. Easily the best I’ve been to in Edinburgh and better than the other really popular ones in the area(ish) like L’alba D’oro and The Fishmarket.

    Got a (full) pizza crunch supper from the Pentland Fry in Juniper Green tonight - well that’s what I pre-ordered and paid for. Actually got a half pizza crunch supper which I didn’t realise until I got home.

    The food was good but just a bit annoyed at not getting what I’d paid for

    I’ve used that chippie twice and been disappointed both times. Won’t be using it again. Sofias up Currie is much better.

    Cheers. Might give it a go in future. We've been to the Pentland Fry a few times as it is on the way home from dropping my sister in law home in Currie. Its been alright in the past.

    31 days till my white pudding supper after the game, there is one chippy that does it down here, just not the same.

    10 chippies from Scotland have been selected to the shortlist of 40 in the running for best takeaway 2024.

    None from Edinburgh or surrounding areas.

    Tired to copy and paste all 10 but it looks a bit Jumbled anyway 6 come from Aberdeenshire.
