Marini's Rosyth Takeaway — Restaurant in Scotland

Great chippy and marvelous, marvelous ice cream! The most remarkable thing about this chip shop is its lunchtime menu (Mon to Sat 12 till 3) where all "Suppers" except fish can be had for the princely sum of £2.99! Yep haggis, black/white or red puddings, jumbo sausage (2), smoked sausage, chipsteak, king rib, hamburger, mince or steak pie, chicken burger, spring roll, cheeseburger, gammon steak and chicken leg/breast or nugget bites...all with a very generous helping of lovely cooked chips for £2.99! It's no different from the standard menu other than the lunchtime price. Comically, a wee bit of a peculiarity is that 'coleslaw' seems to be standard with the Fish Suppers which is fine if you swing that way, but for me...nnnno so much! (yuch! 😖 Lol). On the other hand, it might just be your cup of tea and a healthy option to boot as one of your 5 a day! 😁. If like me, you like your fish supper without such refinements...tell them so, when you order. Fish understandably costs a little extra...currently @£4.10 for a 4 to 5oz haddock "small supper". A large 8 to 10oz haddock is a bit more expensive as you'd expect but Marini's fish is beautifully cooked and tastes marvelous. Marinis also make their own fresh oven baked pizzas on the premises. They are very popular and are also included in the £2.99 lunchtime menu (freshly baked half pizza and chips). As well as all the usual sides of mushy peas, curry sauce etc Marini's also offer pasta dishes like mac 'n' cheese, spaghetti bolognese and the likes so the choices you have here are much more than your average chippy. Another unusual option is the availability of indoor, stooled tables, where you can eat what you bought on the premises at no extra charge. When you've finished your Coleslawed Fish Supper, 17 different flavours of wonderfully smooth, sweet, creamy "Equi's" ice cream...which I can highly recommend...awaits your taste buds! The staff at Marini's are warm, friendly, polite and helpful which is always a big plus for me whether it's a full blown fancy wined restaurant or a place where you can take your family for a tasty meal on a pocket friendly budget. With the generous portions of Marini's lunchtime menu, a large family could eat heartily on a budget of say £20. The Jumbo Sausage Supper for example could easily feed 2 "non demanding children" but the variety of the £2.99 menu is so broad that satisfaction is guaranteed if you study it well. The menu is available at the counter but also as a PDF online if you want to be prepared. There is much to be admired about this Rosyth chippy and I give it full marks because of this "muchness"....

Sat, 7/05/2022. At 18:40, walked in and ordered Large Fish Supper + Steak pie Supper. Only 1 other person was waiting inside and I stood for an incredible 25 MINUTES. Even the delivery man had came and went TWICE during all the time I stood there. Even when someone else walked in out the street and got served before me, I said, "I haven't been served yet". A couple who were there waiting backed me up and said, "He's was next in the queue!". The shoulders got shrugged in a "couldn't care less" manner. ROTTEN SERVICE. They gave complete priority to all the delivery ordered food and they never have anything ready - unless they re-cook the returned delivery food - Twice The Profit! When I got back to the car (2 minutes after paying) and examined the food: The fish were squeezed into the box and the batter was soggy. The chips had a disgusting smell which usually occurs when oil has exceeded it's refried limit. The same was the case for the Steak Pie, which my son refused to eat because of the horrible stench. This may be a busy chipshop, but this was a clear example of second class service and their food is only fir for the BIN. If anyone is reading this and contemplates visiting - You Have...

Lady that answered the phone - couldn't fault her. She was great. Man shouting in the background portrayed awful customer service.

Ordered a fish box tonight and my fish was filled with bones to be told " we don't advertise it as having no bones" but they also don't advertise that it does which is a breach of health and safety and a very dangerous choking hazard.

The attitude from the manager or owner whoever he was, was appalling. Thought I'd add to the series of 1* reviews that seem to be mounting up in regards to this takeaway. I will also be informing food hygiene standards as not once have I ever had a bone in a fish supper and if there ever was to be there'd be a may contain warning quite clear to see!

Will...
