    I usually avoid restaurants in touristy areas, and despite being on the tourist-congested Victoria…read moreStreet, I had to stop into Bertie's on a friend's recommendation (and was surprised by how much I liked it!). The Lemon & Herb Baked Fish was so flavorful and juicy. I tried a Deep Fried Mars Bar for the first time and loved it (I don't know what it reminds me of, but it's crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and hot enough to burn the top of your mouth). The star was definitely the Breaded Haddock. I've had fish and chips around the UK for much cheaper, but at a slightly higher price point you get a perfectly crispy piece of fish with double-fried chips. It's really more about the experience of being in a posh fish shop. It's packed with tourists, so you'll be handed a map of the city at the end -- which I found to be pretty funny given I was living in Edinburgh at the time and came with another local. But it's charming and certainly worth a visit.

    We recently spent two weeks in the UK, and by the time our final full day had arrived, I still…read morehadn't tried vegan fish and chips, so when I saw Bertie's was nearby, I decided that's what I wanted. It was super busy and full, but we were seated at a table in the corner rather quickly, and since we already knew what we wanted (vegan fish and chips for me, a veggie burger for my son), we ordered, and the food came relatively quickly. My son liked his burger, but the fish and chips? A total disappointment. The "fish" was clearly a premade option from the store, and it was so dense and hard that I could barely finish it. The chips were fine but no flavor so I needed to add salt. The plus was the vegan tartar, which tasted quite good. And of course, I added vinegar. But I was bummed that the ketchup and mayo was in little Heinz packets instead of bottles. This is so unnecessarily wasteful and also kind of a pain to constantly be opening and squeezing them. Our service was friendly and quick, so that's great, but everything else was pretty meh, and to be honest, I don't think I'd come back here.

    Not sure if there's been an other changing of hands or just an upping of the game, but it's such a…read moredramatic turnaround, I felt it needed an upgrade. After my son's rugby commitments, The Townhead has become our stop of choice. Due to travelling a fair distance, we never sit in, but always opt for a takeaway and eat on the journey or when we get home. The food does take a while, but I don't mind that, as it shows there's freshness put first and foremost. The batter is back to being crispy and light, the chips are the right side of fluffy inside. If you say to staff you're going to be taking it a distance away, they do their best to wrap it to keep it warm, always a nice touch. Biggar is a nice little run on a sunny afternoon, either coming from Edinburgh or Glasgow directions, and the Townhead is surely now the go to place to stop for chips. Again!

    Stopped to eat here this week. This is not the award winning…read morebusiness as advertised and on old reviews. When was it sold? Ordered food at the counter thinking it was the business in Scotland. One cook and a waitress, but no table order. Adequate common, but suspiciously small fish and chips. Poor value. Tea was a half-filled pot with one tea bag and a small mug. Bread was a roll from a supermarket pack with margarine spread already. The toilet was a disgrace. Np paper and urine on the floor. Observed the whole place was not cleaned. Upstairs eating area was roped off. Dreadful service, product and misleading. Wish we had not entered and, too late, felt conned. Will not stop in Biggar again on our frequent journeys along the 702.
