The Beachcomber Fish and Chip Shop

❌ CLOSED ❌

Sorry everyone, as we suspected due to a busy weekend we have had to make the difficult decision to close a day earlier than planned.

This was not the way we had hoped to finish our time as The Beachcomber. We are sincerely sorry for any inconvenience and disappointment caused.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers and suppliers from the bottom of our hearts. Your support over the past 10 years has been critical and we truly appreciate each and every one of you - we could not have done it without you 💙

Thank you all - it’s been a pleasure,
Liam and Isla 🐟🍟

⭐️BACK AT IT AGAIN⭐️

Yes, you heard right - we had a “soft opening” last night to ensure that everything (including us) was working as it was supposed to and we are ready to open as normal from 4:30pm tonight!

Please go easy on us - we haven’t had a fabulous week and we are still getting back into the swing of things, so as ever your patience is appreciated 🫣

Hopefully see you all at some point over the weekend!

Liam and Isla 🐟🍟

P.S Thank you to everyone for your best wishes and condolences for Rupert - it really is appreciated and it’s lovely to know how well loved he was 🤎

❌CLOSED❌

Well, that’s another season over! Last night was our last night for a while - cannot believe it’s the end of October already 🫣

Thank you so much to all of our fabulous customers that continue to support us all throughout the year - we really couldn’t do it without you 💙

Off on our adventure next week, we will see you all when we get back and I’ll keep you updated with our plans for reopening when we have them!

Take care everyone, thank you all again for being so brilliant 🤩

⚡️THURSDAY 19TH OCTOBER⚡️

As most of you know, there have been power outages across the area today and the wind is still high

We plan to OPEN AS NORMAL at 4:30pm today but please note if the power goes off, all of our equipment does too and we can’t serve anyone. Fingers crossed our SSE team have everything under control but if the power goes out again we will have to close.

Please take care everyone - it’s blustery to say the least!

⭐️CARD MACHINE TROUBLES⭐️

Thanks to our lovely west coast weather, our card machine is playing up!

It does work most of the time, but please bring back up cash where possible - just in case! It’s being very unpredictable 🙈

⭐️REDUCED HOURS⭐️

Well, it’s that time of year again (a little earlier than usual, due to appointments etc.)

We are dropping down to weekends as of this week!

You can still get your fish and chip fix on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays starting Thursday 28th September!

This is a long read but it is one of the most in-depth articles surrounding our industry that I have read. It is not an easy business to be in at the moment - nor has it been for a couple of years now.
Very interesting read if you are looking for an insight into the other side of the counter

The long read: Plenty of people will tell you the East Neuk of Fife in Scotland is the best place in the world to eat fish and chips. So what happens when its chippies – and chippies across the UK – start to close?

⭐️CLOSED UNTIL THURSDAY⭐️

As some of you may have seen, we are closed on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Normal service resumes on Thursday!
