Most Disliked
Some customers voice frustrations over the cash-only policy, preferring card payments for convenience. This situation has prompted tips from staff to help customers minimize ATM fees. Occasionally, during peak hours, waiting times can stretch a bit longer than expected, especially when the shop is bustling. Despite the friendly banter, the casual atmosphere might not suit those seeking a more formal dining experience. Limited seating may also deter larger groups or those looking for a place to comfortably sit and dine in. However, these minor inconveniences often pale in comparison to the overall delicious experience that Crown Chippy provides.

We found this place after an afternoon at the beach. We ordered a fish supper and a chicken supper. The owner was very polite and helpful. The food was cooked fresh . The lady that served the food was hilarious & also very helpful. The portions were very big! The food was absolutely delicious ! The batter was crispy & very flavourful. The chicken was perfectly cooked & incredibly delicious. A local flock of seagulls helped to devour it as there was just way too much . Highly recommend

We were over from Fife for the day and had googled the best chippy in Ayr. Well Google was right- superb fish and chips and great, friendly service. It was lunchtime and we got two fish suppers and one sausage supper for £11! It was, supposedly, a small portion of fish for the lunch special (£4!) but it was still a decent size piece of fish, cooked perfectly. Sausage supper was similarly great. Chips were excellent too. 100% recommend. It's cash only, and the owner said to go to Farm Foods over the road and get cashback, rather than use the nearest ATM as it charges, which was really kind.

Great food, huge portions, fun and welcoming staff. Best fish supper I’ve had in years (the small was a decent and tasty portion) and the chicken supper portion was huge! Well worth crossing the street to get cash out!
