A little bit of history

Our Fish & Chip shop on Church Street has been there for many years.  In a previous life it was called the Ferri Fish Bar owned by Luigi & Maria Ferri who opened in October 1965.  We (Lorenzo and Bronagh) took a chance and uprooted our lives in East Kilbride as fresh faced 23 year olds and took on the Ferri Fish Bar on 15th October 2000 upon the Ferri's retirement.   We fully refurbished the shop and renamed it Lorenzo's in May 2003.

We loved Dunoon that much we started and raised our family here. We are now, very much a family run business, with our two grown up children working beside us.

We have had to make many tweaks and changes to our business over the years.   The Covid-19 pandemic had the biggest impact and a lot of the changes we made during this time stuck!  We cook all food fresh to order, we feel that with the price of things these days everyone deserves freshly cooked food.  We find our regular customers (and the majority of walk in customers) prefer this.  This means you don't get food that has been sitting around waiting for long periods of time to be sold. It also helps to reduce food waste!  Orders can be placed by phone in advance.  This is absolutely not necessary it just minimises your wait time at the shop while your food is being cooked.  Although, large orders should ideally be phoned in advance to ensure we can accommodate you.  We also offer a home delivery service for Dunoon and the surrounding areas.

If you are coming to Dunoon for the day or a short break there is nothing better than taking your fish & chips (and a pot of our homemade tartare sauce!) down to the waterfront, sitting on a bench or the beach and enjoying our stunning views.
