Ubiquitous Chip (The)

12 Ashton Lane, (at Byres Road), Glasgow, United Kingdom
Tel: +44 141 334 5007 Web: Visit this site »
 

The jungle-like cobbled courtyard of this converted mews stable provides the most atmospheric dining area in Glasgow. The Chip has been a landmark in contemporary Scottish cuisine for almost 30 years without ever falling out of fashion or actually serving chips. The awards this place has won are too numerous to delve into, but it would be a sin to ignore the Red M bestowed by Michelin. The wine cellar is astounding, as is the choice of 150 malt whiskies. The seafood is exemplary, and it would be difficult to find a better restaurant for game.

  • Staff very friendly and atmosphere warm.
  • Food took too long to arrive and was cold.

“I and four friends had dinner on 15th December 2007. The staff was lovely, and the food was tasty but cold. Our soup was cold and had to be reheated, our turkey dinner was cold and had to be reheated and the wrong dessert came. Because of this they gave us 30% of our wine. Which was a lovely gesture but when they gave us the bill they had overcharged for the wine by 50%. That was corrected of course with a smile and a discount, but I will not be returning. The problem seems to have been with the chef not plating the food at the right time.”

  • Imaginative menu.
  • Very bad service.

“We went to the "chip" expecting very big things from it, when we arrived we were very disappointed, the menu was certainly imaginative, but to be honest it was adequate, nothing more nothing less. The staff were incredibly surly. We waited 15 minutes to order, there were three other people in the restaurant and 4 waiters. We then waited another 20 minutes for our food. We ordered a second bottle of wine and had to ask a second time (after waiting 20 minutes and having our main course delivered) to get it to our table. And finally our bill was incorrect and without an apology of any kind our bill was "re-adjusted". Don't believe the hype there are much better restaurants in the West End of Glasgow with better food, better atmosphere and certainly better service.”
