Allan’s Snack Bar

I’ve been going to Allan’s a long time. We used to go with my great nana and papa all the time. The staff are all very pleasant and friendly. We have always really enjoyed the food.

Popped in here for lunch after forgetting my sandwiches. I tend to be doing that a lot these days.
I took away so in essence it’s just your normal chippy. It has a nice wee café bit that you can eat in. Although I wasn’t eating in this time I do like the concept of eating in a chippy. The memorabilia, old news paper articles and old prices on the wall are interesting and make eating in an interesting experience.
Anyway back to the take away part. I’m not a paisley resident but many swear that Allan’s is the best chippy in paisley. I’ve yet to be convinced to be honest. It’s not bad but when people tell you it’s so good your expectations are always raised.
When I was in it was very busy with office types, and it’s always reassuring to see a place busy.
Large Sausage supper I can’t actually remember what I paid it was £2.90 or £3.90 I know that’s a big difference but I’ve been busy so it’s taken me a whole to get reviewing.
2 sausages and a small portion of chips. It was a small box and even that wasn’t full. It definitely felt a bit stingy. It was tasty enough but I will be trying somewhere else before I return to Allans

Excellent place for a sit down fish supper, this place is very small but rather cosy. Its well priced and offering a good range of foods and drinks. Décor is abit dated but is in keeping with the place, staff are very good at there job and very attentive.

best wee chippy in paisley (hands down) ENOUGH SAID

This place reminds me of the Scottish film «My American Cousins» — when the Italian Gangsters arrive at the Scottish Airport and the immigration official asks them if they are Fish or Ice Cream.
Allan chose fish.
It is very Italian and has the wonderful Scottish-​Italian Chippy interior. Lots of wooden décor with the massive fryer sitting like a Stainless Steel Altar along one wall. It is a thing of beauty in a very lovely place.
I like these guys. They were my local chippy when I lived in Paisley and I would wander down, get asked how things were going. I would talk to the owner about his golf game and the waitresses about their grandkids. Great place with great people.
The large Italian owner with the booming voice would tell you about the Haddock, where he had got it that morning and the quality of it. Wonderful things. You did not mind that the haddock was cooked to order and that a trip to Allan’s was a fifteen minute slice out of your day.
However, in the last couple years, things have gone downhill a bit. When you have a reputation and most of your business comes from the lunchtime school trade, maybe you don’t have to try as hard.
Places around them have not gotten better, Allan’s has just gotten a little worse. The fish is not as good and the quality of the chips is also a little less.
I hope they turn it around but right now we go somewhere else.

great little chippy, well priced and food is tasty. always worth poping in

Extremely popular restaurant & take away, my favourite chippy.
Food is always delicious, staff always friendly

Allan’s is the best chip shop in Paisley, in fact I have never tasted nicer fish hand chips anywhere else. It’s warm and cosy and very friendly. Also the portion sizes are great for the money.

The best place in Paisley for a fish tea! Big plate of crispy fish and chips, bread and tea. mmmmm. Nice cosy atmosphere and staff always cheery no matter how run off their feet they may be. Best thing about a shopping Saturday in Paisley.

This place is an old favourite. best Fish and Chips in town. The staff are so lovely and welcoming. It is always a lovely experience either going in for take away or sitting in for a fish tea.

best fish and chips in the whole wide world it’s fantastic !!!
