Famous St Andrews fish and chip shop opens in Dundee

A popular St Andrews fish and chip shop which counts Justin Bieber among its customers has opened a new takeaway in Dundee.

Cromars, which has twice been named Scotland’s Best Fish and Chip Shop, has expanded beyond its Fife home with a new outlet on Brown Street, near Dudhope Roundabout.

The takeaway is operating from a converted shipping container at Prestige Student Living Parklands, serving fish suppers and other favourites from the Cromars menu.

The business opened last week and officially launched yesterday on Thursday (12 November).

Cromars was established in St Andrews in 2013 and has built a reputation for its freshly prepared fish and chips, using haddock sourced from Peterhead and potatoes supplied by Fife company Ivan Wood & Sons.

The original shop on Union Street received international attention last year when Justin Bieber visited St Andrews and shared his experience of Cromars on social media.

The business also won Best Menu at the Scottish Fish & Chip Awards in November 2025, adding to a collection of industry accolades.

Owner Wendy Napthine-Frame has been looking to expand the business for some time and invested in a specially adapted 20ft shipping container to take Cromars to new locations.

The mobile kitchen has previously appeared at events in Edinburgh and Glasgow, as well as Cairnsmill Caravan Park near St Andrews.

The new Dundee location is its latest venture, with the possibility of becoming a permanent fixture if it proves successful.

The Dundee menu includes battered haddock and chips for £13.50, scampi and chips for £12.50 and loaded chips, alongside a £14.95 munchie box featuring sausages, pudding bites, pizza crunch, onion rings, curry sauce and chips.

Cromars is offering a 10 per cent discount to students and Blue Light Card holders, with delivery available through Deliveroo.

The new takeaway is located on Brown Street, opposite Shotz Dundee Pool and Snooker Club. Its initial opening hours are noon until 9pm daily, although these may change.
