On a dark rainy Friday night I visited Skippers for the first time in a while, I did see an A4 notice full of text on the door but it was lashing rain, dark, I was wearing a mask, my specs were steaming up and I had my hood pulled tight so didn’t stand outside to read it. If I had stood and taken the time to read the notice I wouldn’t be writing this review but that is not really the point here. I entered the shop, used the hand sanitiser and walked up to the order window and placed an order only to be asked if I had phoned. I hadn’t phoned and was told, with no apology, that they were only taking phone orders between 5 and 7pm as they were really busy. I turned to walk out and as I did the...
Been going there for several years now and the only real reason I still occasionally buy from them is that their chips are probably the best in town, proper chipper chips; but the positives end there. Food seems almost selectively soggy, overcooked, or burnt depending on if you've gotten on the owner's bad side. Not to mention how rude and loud the owner can be, shouting and swearing in the store to customers; usually when they have complaints about the state of the food. Overall I recommend against buying from here, you can get far better food for far nicer atmosphere less than a small walk away.
Just outside this chipper, the small lay-by was full of parked cars, so I found a free space just around the corner in the main square. No requirement to pre-book an order by phoning, my wife walked in, mask on. Friendly enough staff. Expensive for what you get. I don't like their chips, so it was a single fish and chicken pie for me, which was fine.
We live just outside Fyvie and tried the local chip shop the fish was refried as were the brown chips revolting…..We then tried Skippers beautifully crisp cooked fish and the chips were fluffy on the inside crisp on the outside with no brown in them and piping hot absolutely gorgeous the staff were lovely and friendly my favourite chipper

Beautiful day in Aberdeenshire so fancied a chippy in the sun. Great covid safe operation now. order by phone, turn up at alloted time, pay, collect super, go...perfect. Chips have been great for quite a while now, using Sagitta at the moment. Crisp and great colour. Fish cooked to perfection in a lovely batter.
Awfull customer service, called in to place an order and was told they had run out of food and they were closing really dissapointed with this service, and although it's our local chip shop I will now no longer be returning. An hour and a half before closing time we get told there is no food
Queued for 10 mins to get to the till, once there owner shouted no more orders taken! Never been told that in any chip shop b4. If your busy we prepared to wait not to be told to no orders!!! Certainly won't be back there!!!!!!!!!
Really enjoyed a gluten free chippy fish, chicken fillets, battered sausage and curry sauce were all delicious. Separate utensils and fryer for GF knowledgable on cross contamination. Non GF eater enjoyed it also.

9.60 for a fish supper. Wouldn't mind but the chips aren't cooked properly, cold in the middle. Looked like half a fish in the box. What a waste of money. Most of it went in the bin. Disgraceful.
Been going to skippers for years always been happy with service... and the way there dealing with pandemic is excellent. I feel safe.. joy to get a chipper from skipper...
