The Balerno Fry

The Balerno Fry on Bavelaw Road is the principal takeaway for Balerno village, the furthest-west community in Edinburgh's EH14 reach. It operates as a fish and chip shop with a notably broad menu — stone-baked pizzas (prepared with fresh dough and awarded the Best Pizza Chef Award by Mealzo), gourmet kebabs, and authentic pasta dishes sit alongside the traditional fish supper and chips. TripAdvisor reviewers single out the stone-baked pizza as consistently strong: "absolutely immaculate" and "cooked perfect" appear in separate reviews, and the fish supper draws its own praise for crispy batter and large portions. Overall reviews are mixed on consistency, but the pizza in particular has a loyal following. The shop operates through the evening seven days and takes orders through its own platform at balernofry.co.uk. A versatile and well-regarded local takeaway for a village that sits at the edge of the Pentland Hills.
