Most fish and chip shops in Helensburgh are usually busy of an evening, so we should have wondered why, when we emerged from the cinema across the road from Sun Fish and Chicken Bar, there were no customers. A member of the staff (the proprietor, I believe) was counting money in the till and so was too busy to look up and greet us.A younger employee was summonsed to cook our order of two fish suppers. We were happy to wait while it was freshly cooked for us and as we did so another couple came in and ordered food that was already cooked and on display in the glass-fronted hot cabinet. By now the older man had finished counting piles of coins and all the notes in the till, so he served the customers.I was disgusted to note that the man failed to wash his hands after handling money, which is a filthy commodity touched by who knows who have done who knows what before handling it. He then took two portions of food with his bare hands, put them in a bag and served the other customers. YUCK!I watched carefully as my chips were placed in a box and then, as expected, the man took two pieces of fish with his dirty, unwashed hands and placed them on top of the chips. At this juncture I protested and was told by the man, "I am a chef...." I am not sure how that qualifies touching ready-to-eat food with his bare, dirty hands and so I asked for my money back. I was refunded and we left.I noted too that what would ordinarily qualify as one portion of chips in another fish shop was served to us in one box to share and there was one decent sized haddock fillet and a much smaller one placed on top of it in the same box. Is this what they call portion control at Sun Fish and Chicken Bar? Who was to have the larger fish fillet; me or my wife? Or perhaps the expectation was for us to pull it apart with our (unwashed, maybe?) hands to enable us to share the mismatched fillets equally?This was not a pleasant experience and I would actively discourage anyone from buying food from this establishment with its sub-standard food safety practices. I think most Helensburgh residents realise already that Sun Fish and Chicken Bar is dodgy because we passed the Palace and Wee Kelpie fish shops on our way home and both were busy.

This roll shop has recently been opened in Bridge Street only a short distance from the station. I called in for a soup and roll snack. The staff were friendly. The food was ready and hot and I enjoyed it on the train. Prices very reasonable.

Indian Takeaway
Reviewed By swinnas
Ordered take out via just eat and paid £2 delivery charge, appalled that i then received a call direct from the restaurant asking me to pay £1.50 extra to the driver.Explanation was the distance even though he restaurant was less than 1.5 miles from my hotel.Food was hot and large portions but pretty much tasteless
6. Lakeside Takeaway
Reviewed By sueanti
The person taking the order on the phone was courteous, order was ready at suggested time. The Munchy box is tasty bit of everything, It came in a pizza box and we expected a disappointment but we were so wrong!It was well cooked, the box was full of lots of tasty treats.I would fully recommend it.

Itâs up there in terms of one of the worst Indians Iâve ever had - my two boys agreed. Classic was the veggie samosas - 2 round doughy lumps in a terrifying red sweet sauce. Iâm assuming no actual people from the Indian subcontinent have anything to do with this place.

Cant really give you a reveiw about the food as after a 10 minute wait behind 4 customers i still hadn.t been asked what i wanted. The 2 ladies in front of me had just been asked after my 10 minutes so god knows how long they had been waiting. The problem is the 2 lady staff members behind the counter are totally incompitent. It seemed they asked 1 person what they wanted . waited till the order was made then got round to asking the next person. There was signs on the wall saying that the food was freshly made per order but come on ....... would it not be quicker to cook 6 fish at 6pm on a saturday instead of 1 at a time. I walked out in digust.

scotlands finest traditional fish and chips. all produce sourced locally and use as many local suppliers as possible. right on the banks of bonnie loch lomond. also including fine bed and breakfast rooms. Eat, drink and relax.
Reviewed By D2646IEtracym
We took a detour of our trip around Loch Lomond to stop into the takeaway, as the website looked impressive and noted all awards that had been won. What a disappointment!Standard chippy fayre - apparently they donât do calamari or prawns, despite this being on the menu online and in the shop. Main dishes (fish etc.) all cooked to order and were quite tasty but unfortunately the chips had clearly been sitting for a while and were soggy. Seemed to have a good selection of gluten free options, although we didnât put this to the test. Slow service and the staff clearly showing that they were under pressure but it was very busy. Around 45 minutes from joining the queue to leaving with our food. As we waited in the queue a passerby shouted to go to the chippy just down the road as it was much better. I wished weâd listened.
