Church Gresley Fish Bar in South Derbyshire

Ordered 2 kids chicken nugget meals and a few other items. Most were stone cold by the time I drove 5 minutes home. My fish was just batter, dried out and tasteless as were the chips. One Child's meal had no chicken nuggets so I was forced to split 3 chicken nuggets between 2 children (not shuttling the kids back to the car and back out again to return to ask for what i actually paid for!). The man who served me was not particularly friendly or sincere and so all in all I wish I had stuck to my usual Millenium Fish Bar or Urban Chef. Won't make this mistake again. Lastly, the restaurant floor was like an ice rink with multiple people struggling not to slip, of course it's very wet weather currently, but one tiny saturated door mat in the middle of the store? No yellow warning sign, no water proof Nomad type matting and no slip guard coating is a receipt for disaster.

Friendly staff but the beef and onion pie was a disappointment and impossible to eat. The base was hard and when I took the lid off, it was burnt and hardly had any meat inside

Fish is absolutely Lovely, hasn't in the past , but absolutely upped the game. Even do Haddock as a choice now. Spot on.

Absolutely vile! I don’t understand how You can serve chips which blatantly have been cooked in dirty oil, compared to pictures of Chips that have previously reviewed, yuk!! Hasn’t changed since the last time we stayed away What a joke of a business.

Phone for gluten free Fish and Chip ready in 15 minutes

My local chippy. Service with a smile

Our favourite chippy and our favourite take away choice. Excellent price and portions are fab too :) p.s the new cheese sauce is amazing thank you:) highly recommend.

Best fish & chips I’ve had in a long time. Great options for GF

Been using this as my local chippy for years. Usual friendly staff. However this time I had far too much salt put onto my chips. Unfortunately couldn't eat all the portion but I won't let that put me off going again as usually it's decent.

Had a piece of cod last night and some chips was absolutely disgusting the fish was just like mush and the chips were terrible never again

Friendly staff, great service. And the food is spot on 👍

Wow the most amazing tandoori chicken kebab and chips I’ve ever had 😋 highly recommend you to try it, absolutely delicious. Fast delivery and food piping hot.

Lovely tasty food, always delivered nicely presented in a box, then put into a nice paper carrier bag. Always hot, tasty. And also good value.

Disgusting undercooked fritters. Couldn’t believe when I bit into them was as if biting into a raw potato and to top things off they were drenched in grease.

We have had several take aways from this chip shop, and I must say it's the best in church gresley, the food always arrives fresh and hot

Absolutely the best Tandoori Chicken Kebab in the area. So fresh, delicious and hot. Just amazing, highly recommend you try it. Delivered and piping hot 👍🏼

What a fantastic chip shop, the food always arrives hot and very tasty, possibly the best chip shop in gresley

The best tandoori chicken kebab in the area 😋 hot, fresh and so delicious 😋

Had fish bites, scampi cheesy chips, and curry sauce. It was delicious. My new go-to chippy. Fast service/delivery, very friendly drivers. Highly recommended 5 Stars.

Don't think I've ever eaten hot food from there!! Constantly have to reheat my food even though I drive literally 2 minutes to get home! Surely the food can't get that cold in that little time! Older dude seems a nice happy chap but the young lad in there.... wouldn't hurt to crack a smile dude!!

Absolutely disgusting ..ordered large cod and medium chips.. got home cod not large , undercooked.. chips ..god only knows how many times they had been reheated, and way verpriced..avoid .. how they stay in business is beyond me.

Love this chippy! Very friendly staff and cater for gluten free too. Food always tasty and warm.

A really nice takeaway, the staff are always friendly and the Gluten free fish and chips are 10/10. Highly recommend.

Been in lots of times, but ordered for delivery today. Food arrived in minutes and was delicious. Kebab was so big I have the other half in the fridge. Excellent

A really good takeaway. Great choice and good value. We often can't finish all the chips even with the small portion.

Reheated chips, absolutely disgusting chewy and definitely not edible. A total waste of money, no wonder there was no one in there on a Saturday as well!

Everything cooked to order, nice food

Absolutely brilliant food and service, was very impressed, beautiful kebab boxes ,hot on delivery, and would fully recommend.

Brilliant, gluten free fish and chips available every day. Massive Thank you, because people with intolerance don't just want take away on certain days.

Always go here when for our food when doing a ghost hunt at gresley old hall. Food alwaya amazing.

Friendly staff, chip's ok, pie good

Wondered why the shop was so empty at 16:39. The others probably know that when it is slow you get warmed over food. The fish was soggy.

Best place ever. Friendly staff

Food all good but why are they saying that they are open during Xmas hols when they are not. that's not good for business.

Thought I'd treat myself to some chips to other week, arrived before closing time and they shut early. Please be consistent with your advertised opening times to avoid further disappointment for any other customers, new or existing.

Nice local chippy. Food is fresh so you may have to wait.

very good chicken pita kebab did wait about 30 minutes but its was worth it

Tiny fish, chips reheated from the night before. Long wait for unacceptable food especially reheated chips.

Terrible service staff were unorganised and didn’t have a clue. Food was cold small portion size so I will be giving it a wide birth in the future

so impressed! fast delivery and polite staff. will come again 🥰😘

Dinner for 2 came to just £7. Brilliant price and food was fresh, hot and tasty! All staff very friendly.

Ordered Mixed kebab meat and chips, was asked if I wanted sauce and salad? Yes please but can I have salad separately please (as I was taking it away to eat at work and didn’t want the lettuce going soggy) yes you can but that’s extra! What? Why? Because it’s extra packaging to put it in which costs more, Absolutely ridiculous I said just wrap it in a piece of the paper you use to wrap the kebabs and chips (which they always use too much of anyway)!!! Brought the food, which I have to say was extremely average, meat tasted old and dry with very little flavour and the chips were mostly hard and dry, certainly not worth the money, or the extra money for the salad wrapping! I would no eat from here again that’s for sure!

Great taste in food & excellent value for money would always recommend to friends & family

Always well staffed. Also do gluten free food :)

The food is excellent not expensive friendly staff

fish & chips very tasty, reasonably priced too! Staff friendly & polite, business clean & tidy. 1st class family food, high-quality, certainly one I would recommend

Had pie and chips and can honestly say some of worst ever had! .. Chips looked and tasted like they had been warmed up from yesterday's left overs and pie same.. which was chewy.. not at all happy with it.. shocking

Unbelievable how slow they are...poor service with cold food....

Great tasting fish and chips for a very reasonable price.

Horrible. Dry, chewy, overcooked fish. Staff not welcoming at all. First and last time here.

Really poor portion sizes compared to other chip shops in the area I wouldn't recommend this chip shop at all you would be better buying a frozen bag of chips and cooking yourself. Chips are also of poor quality.

Food horrible and waiting time a disgrace

The chips hard has though they had been warmed up and chicken and mushroom pie not much better. Sorry won't be going again.

Excellent quality and good portion sizes. I'll be sure to go back again.

Wouldn't make the top 1000 uk chip shops.

Big pizza box meal of mixed kebab and chips is the way forward

Chips always under cooked Food is always cold Serving staff are rude Manager does nothing to help when its busy Portion sizes always far less than you'd expect Gave this place a few chances and never seems to get any better than mediocre!!! Don't waste your money

Well what can I say hadn't eaten all day felt so hungry I ordered the family meal Wow it was so good ate most of it except for a few chips I recon it will keep me going for a couple of days This fish shop has come on in leaps and bounds recommend it to everyone

They need to make sure the lids are securely on the pots. Had a large peas today, I like them with fish and chips, by the time I got home the lid had come off and the peas had soaked into the paper wrapping. So that large peas was barely enough left for 1 never mind sharing for 2

Cold chips either under cooked or left over from dinner time either way not nice at all this time.

Jacket potato arrived stone cold, literally felt like they took the pre cooked potato out the fridge and chucked it in a pot with some cheese and butter, when I called to make them aware of the situation and to have a replacement sent the person I spoke to was very short and rude with me. Proberbly wont return.

Nicest chips I’ve had in a very long time, and very generous portions too. New owner taken over and the customer service is 10/10. Would recommend to anyone :)

The 9inch kebab box is big enough for 3 people so tasy and worth every penny

Always quick service and good food - just a shame it's closed on a Sunday!

We have been a few times, unfortunately my husband doesn't like chips so I don't get to visit often. It's always a real treat. The service is great.

Had a meal in a box massive I normally can eat a lot but struggled with this one had to share some definitely worth having would recommend it to anyone

Went down hill new owner taken over will try again

Lovely fish and chips ,handy when nip to surgery.

Very tasty food and good value. Very polite and friendly staff.

Absolutely spot on,cant fault it!!! Gresley has you spoilt for choice for great chip shops.

Didn't like the lamb and not enough donar on my kebab but the chicken meat was the outstanding will try it again

Good quality food and well priced.

this place simply does the best chips around. so many other fish bars get all the credit but none compares to this . chips are consistently nicely cooked to golden brown. no soggy chips in here. excellent

Always freshly cooked, staff are friendly.

Always a great meal every time we go

Was served by a lovely young lady named Libby who was exceedingly polite and friendly. Customer service is brilliant here and will definitely come here again. Food was excellent on top of this.

Walked out after being completely ignored by the girl playing on her phone behind the counter

Had 9in kebab pizza box was fantastic, way to much food for 2 people. Well worth a try.

If you like cold kebabs, then this is your place to go.....kebab meat was so cold it must of been from the previous day......long wait not recommended

I visited Church Gresley Fish Bar today while working in the area selected to buy the £2 regular bag of chips instead of a small bag and also bought a large sausage for £1.30 total £3.30 when the bag was handed to me I was surprised first of all with how small the portion was for £2 worth of chips. Originally I was just taking the photograph to say how small the portion was when I noticed a small piece of wire possibly from a scouring pad used to clean the work surface inside the chip shop this is something I did not expect obviously but after that I carefully looked at every single chip that I picked out of the packet incase there was more wire. I didn't go back into the chip shop about the purchase because I had left the area. On the plus side the chips were well cooked

Popped in just for a quick mini fish/chips. The batter on fish was crispy and the fish was pure white and meaty. Chips great, no after taste. Defo will go back.

This is the first time we’ve ordered from here. We had the large kebab box, it was full to the top and still hot when delivered. Will definitely be returning

I’ve had a few kebabs from here which were delicious

Can’t rate your kebab boxes enough! Full to the brim of excellent fresh food! Always piping hot and great value for money! Staff are always so pleasant also! Pleased to have such a good takeaway outlet on my estate.

We live locally and have used this chip shop many times over the years but unfortunately I think it has gone downhill. I visited yesterday lunchtime to get chips, sausage and kebab. The woman with blonde hair who was serving lacked any kind of customer service or rapport, she seemed totally dis-interested in her customer interaction as if she would rather be somewhere else, did not smile at all and was barely polite. Not a good start!! The chips we had were average but very small portion for the price, the sausage was ok but the doner kebab was extremely poor, the pitta was toasted too much it was like cardboard, the salad was not fresh, the lettuce had brown bits on the edges like it was about to go off and the pieces of tomatoes tasted like it had gone off, the kebab meat the disinterested woman sliced for me was the rind and was hard on the one side. Overall the doner kebab was terrible and the portion was exceptionally small for the price, hardly any meat and any salad. The admiral chip shop in Overseal are similar in price but their food and portions are so much better quality and far bigger portions. Go there you will get better food and better service.

Lovely service, plentiful chips, tasty crispy battered sausage and veggie burger was great!

Slow service, waited ages.....Then the piece of fish I got was so dry and rigid I could hold it up horizontally by the thin end of the tail.... The chips were also dry and tasteless, more of a cardboard texture than chips... & the mushy peas looked like they'd be more suited in Chernobyl than a chippy in South Derbyshire!! 🤮🤮

There was a fight at this chippy last night - the fish got battered. No really.....Lovely food from a friendly place.

Lived locally for 3 months now, tried the fish bar a few times, never yet had a good meal. Constantly waiting for food to cook, the slowest fast food ever, even at prime times he cookes portion by portion virtually...when he isnt in the back on the phone hes in the front with his mobile on his ear not caring about the customers standing about waiting...one day the highlight will be seeing that mobile land in the batter or in the fryer as he cooks while chatting. Portions small for the cost, kebab meat never at a decent temperature. Staff constanty relying on Cos's snail speed reactions to requests for things as he obviously wont allow them to do a thing themselves....every visit has been a total frustration

I called into the Church Gresley Fish Bar yesterday 19/04 at around 5pm, the kids were in need of a little something so I opted for the £2 chip butty,I was amazed to witness the counter staff put half a scoop of chips onto the cob, and then went back in and put another 3 chips on the top,in total and we counted when I got back into the car a grand total of 16 chips.These must have come from the Queens own private reserve they were so scarce either that or the counter staff are on £15 per hour and commission on top, either that or they've just put the business rates up for the new financial year, I could blame Brexit but that would be unfair on the politicians in this caseAnyway this is the second time I have been ripped off by this chippy, the first time I thought it was because they were busy, this time it was just me and a pensioner having his Friday natter, I think I paid for his chips as well !!Never again will my shadow darken the door to this establishment

Never had a bad meal from there.

Its a chippy what more can I say not bad

Would recommend trying the pizza box specials although everything we have had has been nice, and reasonably priced. Girls are great and friendly. 5 stars all round.

Definitely won’t be visiting here again. Waiting 20 minutes for a bag of chips, that’s weren’t even nice. No organisation, no food ready, not even chips at a prime time on a Saturday night. Very poor!!

Called here on the way home as we were passing. Not impressed, at all, the fish were very small and had a weird taste, both were wrapped together and a stuck together mess, the peas were bright illuminous green, must have been nuclear waste and were so salty we couldn't eat them, the chips were the only thing edible and again really small portions, can definitely say we wouldn't use again and should have gone to the admiral where its guaranteed decent, good size portions and massive tasty fish...

First disappointing meal we have had from here was tonight.. tray of kebab and chips was awful... only a handful of chips and the kebab was raw anaemic looking meat that was absolutely swimming in fat. Awful. Hope this was just a one off.

Great service but mix meat kebab was £6 and not a lot of meat. Other than that was ok

Have visited on a few occasions but unfortunately each time the food is poor quality. I live within walking distance of this chip shop but refuse to go there any more!

Well I visit the fish bar at least once a week.And really enjoy the food.But the girls could smile a bit more.

The chips are so great love them peas and tray good and battered sausage great
