"This is a nice wee chip shop as far as chip shops go, in fact it's my fast food eatery of choice in the area. Parking is either outside where I reckon you could fit three cars maximum or round the corner in the Co-op car park. The Co-op operates a fining system for non-customers although I've yet to see their car park anywhere near approaching full so I think it would be ok for the ten minutes it takes to get your meal. The staff are friendly and the premises are clean. The food is well cooked (obviously they change their fat often as the chips are never soggy) and at a reasonable price. The food is the standard type you find in a chip shop, nothing fancy but good food all the same. They still sell sweets out of the jar which I find charming. You can take out or eat in at one of the few tables there are."

"Always a popular spot. Current restrictions have limited sitting in. The hot deli sandwiches are so tasty and highly recommended. We always opt for a mixed salad box to sample the selection as all the salads are great and full of flavour. The pastries look lovely and golden. Great value for money and definitely fast becoming a regular spot when heading to Strathaven. One thing...A better soft drink selection would be great. We get the whole artisan approach...but tbh the majority are blah or yuk! Can we just have a full fat coke please.... and from the only people really justified to call it that!? I'd rather spend all my money here than buy my lunch and then head to the co-op for a decent drink. Thanks."

"I have used this take away regularly for 30+ years and for not the first time I received sub standard food via delivery this week. Although I have never made a complaint I felt the food was especially poor on this occasion. When I called to convey my dissatisfaction I was not only completely dismissed but in not so many words called a liar. It took a second call from my son for our concerns to be taken seriously and an agreement to replace one of the dishes was reached. However by the time my son was off the phone I had served the chicken to the dogs not realising the arrangement to return the dish (not sure why as Id hope they wouldn't have served it back out to another customer) On delivery of the replacement dish I was charged for this due to the missing meal. Pretty poor show Id say for a regular customer. All in all it was not so much the fact we received sub standard food, I understand this can happen on occasions, it was the disgusting attitude and manner in which our complaint was dealt by the establishment. Safe to say I will never be using this particular take away again, I would much rather give my money and custom to those who value their customers. In addition, and as a side but still a very important point. My dogs, who were served up the first dish which we were not happy with, well they were both extremely ill that evening and next day. Safe to say I am VERY glad we did not eat the dish even though we were told very bluntly and on no uncertain terms there was nothing wrong with the food! I will, of course, be sending a report to the local Food Standards team."

"Absolutely disgusted at the way my Husband has just been treated in this establishment. Came for our anniversary meal at recommendation of work collegues being new to the area following moving up from England. We asked for a table for 2, which we were given a booth straight away. After this we waited over 15 mins for a menu, i was on the verge of walking at this point to be honest, looked at numerous times by the staff but no menu. A girl came over with the menu which she brought over, we ordered 2 drinks. When the bar woman brought the drinks over she informed my husband it was a non sports pub not allowing team colours and he was not allowed to wear the top he was wearing, which was a long sleeve Rangers training jumper. I had to watch my husband shamed in to taking his jumper off in a pub AFTER ordering our drinks. He was stood at the bar when i asked for a table should it not of been mentioned then when noticed? There is no mention of this on the website and certainly not on entering the pub, no signs what so ever. I paid for the drinks and left. I will never return to this place no matter who tells me great reviews. I suggest your staff put a notice on the website and the foyer window if this is how you feel. An English gentleman from Manchester, surrounded by 4 great teams (city, utd, Liverpool and Everton) made to take of an insignificant Scottish team top is disgusting. For those reading this review, we had a lovely meal and drinks else where spending £100 quid. There loss is another restaurants gain!"
