The Willows is my favourite Fish n Chips in Orkney. Actually it's more than just Fish n Chips as it does Chinese food as well. I was curious to see how they compared to Mainland takeaways. The chips looked and tasted great, but the real test for me was the white pudding, which I had last night. The verdict? Every bit as good as Edinburgh's finest. The staff were polite and friendly and the place was spotless, looks like I'll be a regular.

Went there yesterday as my cruise ship I work for was docked there. I asked a local guide for a recommendation for a chip shop and she mentioned a few and but this was “where the locals go”. So yes, I took the 5 min walk from the main shopping street to go there. It is well worth it! Tiny place in the back of a flat . For £6.50 I got a HUGE fish and chips! They also sell other fried stuff and Chinese food. Well worth it if you want fish and chips. **Just be patient as everything is cooked to order and served fresh!**

Our family group visited tonight as they do a Wednesday Special menu. Nine of the group had the Special consisting of starter, main and side for under £12. The service was quick and the food was piping hot. For some of the group this was the best Indian food they had ever tasted. At times the restaurant was full so I would suggest advance booking particularly on a Wednesday night. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Very nice staff and restaurant. Nice dinner atmosphere. Food was tasty just sweeter than we are used. Great portion sizes. No alcohol served. Was hungry so pictures after eating.

Very popular and, hence, very busy at times. Can be waits of up to 45 minutes for placing and receiving orders.Vegetable oil used throughout, which for the purist is just wrong, but very tasty despite.

Great fish and chips, reasonable prices, friendly staff, what more could you ask for really.
