Darren's 'fish you were here' of Trevingey in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Had our first Fish and Chip Supper takeaway from the ‘new’ Darren’s last night. Smashing meal! Has certainly kept up with Darren Roberts Quality. So will keep this as our ‘Go to’ Chippy as we have in previous years. 😎

In the past I loved this chip shop for their gluten free range and it was really good first time ordering with the new owners and my chips had black bits and looked moldy in places like they were from the day before or something but there was no quality control what so ever the photo doesn't to it justice on how bad it really was and that's just a small part of the chips

Went in last night for fish and chips supper with my granddaughter, she had the Cod bites and Chips, she said they were the best she had ever tasted. I tried one and the batter was beautifully light and crispy. We both enjoyed our meals immensely and will definitely be visiting again

Absolutely disgusting fish and chips !!! I wished i read the reviews before hand, I didn't realise Darren's isn't no more... Shame he and the rest of the team was amazing and the most delicious Fish and chips in redruth. !!!!! AVOID !!!!!

Recently changed hands and it's gone downhill. The chips, which used to be the best around, are now really odd. They almost taste stale or a day old. Won't be buying for a long while now.

Popped in to Darren's on a very busy Saturday & paid £9.50 for a piece of Hake, which was supposedly their "catch of the day". This also came together with a portion of chips, which I thought was a reasonable price to pay for both. Unfortunately this portion of chips was absolutely pathetic in size, easily the smallest chips I've ever been given and rather absurdly my 3 y/o son's Chicken Nuggets & Chips, had more chips in his box than I did!! The chips were also way overcooked and were bizarrely crunchy in texture, to the point that most of them were completely inedible. The portion of Hake that I was given was also on the small side and definitely didn't feel like good value for money at all. Apparently this establishment has been recently taken over and clearly the quality has gone drastically downhill as a result. I certainly won't be visiting again anytime soon and would recommend any other chip-shop in Redruth over this one.

Awesome GF fish and chips best so far in surrounding area. Staff friendly and clued up on Gf.

Saturday is takeaway treat for my sons. Our usual chippy was shut, so we went to Darren’s, as I used to eat there years ago. It used to be good, now not so much. In fact probably one of the worst experience I’ve had. I can’t speak about all of the food, only that which we bought. The chips were greasy as hell, Carrier bag full of fat from the five min drive home, son’s battered burger looked really overdone and not at all appetising. I ordered kebab meat and chips, what a mistake. What little there was, had obviously been sliced and kept in a pot for long time, as it was dried out like a piece of shoe leather. My other son said place making him feel ill, so refused to order anything. To top it all, the price……..double the cost for two of us , compared to all three of us elsewhere. In fact, using the kebab meat and chips as example, elsewhere, £5.50 - £6.50, Darren’s £8.00 for what amounted to half sized portion. Only found one place more expensive in area, although they do give you at least 3 times more meat! I agree with other reviews, Darren’s name should be removed from above shop. Food thrown out, even cat turned its nose at it, left for the gulls. Would never go there again.

Order fish chips etc on phone got there shop busy took out money told sit wait started serving people who had come in after us they forgot do us the lady in shop ok but was overworked cook kept giving phone to women and young gentlemen was like wet weekend not much help Darrens use to be brilliant ask for money back went somewhere else went be going back

Never going back, food has gone down hill big time, chips are awful, more like frozen chips than fresh, shame because was the best chippy around.

Oh what have you done Darren retiring, you chip shop has really gone done mate, the chips were awful as was the fish, Darren had his own secret rescipe and obviously hasn't past it on to the new owner? Get them to take your name off the shop , we won't be going back to it 🤬

Was not happy the chips were not nice. The batter was not even sticking to the batter. The service has gone down hill.

Potatoe fritters and cod bites were excellent, not sure if I can get old skool fritters anywhere else. Mum and Me are very happy this evening. 5 stars Darren's.

The very best fish and chips I have had In a Very long time! So beautiful. Not 1 old over done chip, all freshly cooked! Too many chip shops refry lunch time chips and there awful! Darren's is THE very best! Will definitely be going back 👍

Fast service and generous portions good all round

Great place to grab some fish and chips staff were friendly and if possible the food was even better. Best chips we've had in a long time!

Can't fault them. Best chippy in the area.

Best fish and chips we've had in a while! We've had from various places in and around Redruth and these blew all of the others out of the water 😍 We will definitely be back!

I go every Thursday for fish-and-chips here. Love it

Best I have had in a long time.

This is a proper chippy. Great fish and chips, excellent portions, reasonably priced, with a gluten-free menu. Now my go-to place in the area.

1st time using this chippy and the best fish and chips in a long time. Thank you very much

Superb! What more can I say, proper fish and chips!

Lovely Fish & chips but the star of the show for me was the HomeMade Fish cakes. Staff were really friendly helpful. Will be going here again on my next visit. Keep up the great service.

We'd been told about this place by a lot of people and never heard a bad thing about it, so we thought we'd give it a shot - and it's definitely the new local fish and chips from now on! The batter on the cod is amazing, and the portion sizes are huge! It's good value for your money and the staff were all happy and wish you well as you head out. Will definitely be ordering again soon!

Friendly service.Nice hot food. Batter a bit too chrispy for me, but still our favourite fish n chip shop 😋

Superb quality fish. Highly recommended

I love this place best fish and chips around..

Very good fish and chips, freshly cooked.

Best fish and chips around love it

Best fish and chips locally to me, we love the food from here! Recommended by a family member and we don't go anywhere else now!

Would rather go without than get fish and chips from anywhere else. Always fresh and the fish is cooked to perfection

Best chips I've ever eaten!! Such a novelty to have a veggie battered sausage too! Delicious 😋

Very nice cod and chips. Fresh and hot. Good portion 😉

Best fish and chips we've ever tasted, lucky to have so near to where we live

Great food, abit expensive for me but the quality of food reflects the prices

Yet to try anything different as I’ve only been a couple of times but good fish and chips!! Not too greasy and friendly customer service, been a large queue both times I’ve been here which says it all. Quickly got through their customers which was refreshing for the local area, and I assume another reason why people are willing to queue.

Ordered chips and they may aswell have been crisps as it seems they give me all the crispy bits from the bottom of the pan, I like my chips soft and don't mind a few crispy hard bits but not all crispy like these

Had a family order so a few different things I really loved the cod it fell apart it was delicious. All staff really nice.

Lovely food really enjoyed go there once a week brilliant customer service I highly recommend good value for money

Beautiful...again!!!! Best around!!!

Food was delicious service was very good

Great chips and amazing portions

One of the best fish and chip shops anywhere.very good chips.fish as fresh as it gets

The best fish and chips around this area by a country mile

This place is everything a proper chippy should be. The food is spot on, the portions are good and the service is impeccable. Can't think of a single way they could improve. Well done 👏

Best fish and chips we have ever had in Cornwall. Staff extremely helpful and friendly and we happily recommend them to everyone.

I'm vegan so asked for chips fried in sunflower oil. They had rapeseed oil, so I gave them a try. They were delicious and crunchy. Very friendly service.

Excellent best in area without doubt highly recommended and fantastic value

The best and tastiest Fish and Chips in Redruth! (Arguably in Cornwall) Huge portions, amazing value for money. Friendly staff and fast service. Highly Recommend to everyone, you won't be disappointed!

Excellent fish and chips and a gluten free menu so the family could finally have fish and chips from a shop together.

First time having fish and chips from here today. They were absolutely lovely. Really good value and good size portions. Will definitely be going back again and will be recommending to everyone.

Delicious - best fish and chips in Redruth

Best chippy in Reduth in my opinion. Chips are spot on triple cooked i suspect and good size fish.

Absolutely great cod and chips. Wouldn't go elsewhere.

Absolutely fantastic 🐟 you know it’s good when there’s nothing left in the box!!!! 😍 Thank you team Darren💞✨✨

Excellent, the finest Fish & Chips, customer service excellent, 5 stars well deserved.

Lovely food cooked by lovely people.

Wanted to try Darren’s Fish and Chips. Well we weren’t disappointed. Fish was really really flavoursome and a good size. Chips were really good as well. It was made extra special by being able to have ‘proper’ salt and vinegar as other places are giving you sachets due to Covid. Was daunted when I pulled up due to a queue but the service was quick. Also a queue is sign of popularity. Will be back again 😎

By far the best fish and chips around, lovely friendly staff and spotlessly clean and huge portions, keep up the great work and will be back again soon

Best fish and chips in redruth!

Proper fish & chips! Lovely staff great portions! 😋 yummy

Best fish and chip shop in the area, can thoroughly recommend

Brilliant Chippy, quick easy service with a smile and everything was fresh and piping hot, so much better than it was before, so pleased you stayed the course and got through lockdown 👍 Well done you.

Not been for a while, but have just finished a gorgeous takeaway from you again. Haddock, chips and garlic mushrooms, mustn't forget the curry sauce. All expertly cooked and served with great care and attention to current safety guidelines. Thank you so much. Batter is out of this world 😋

We regularly visit Cornwall and Darrens is always our first stop, so much so that Darren himself remembered us and we got a warm welcome. Brilliant customer service, friendly staff and the best fish and chips we've ever tasted

Please ignore all negative posts. Darrens is by far the best fish and chips around. Would never go anywhere else. Fantastic quality, brilliant value, and huge portions. First class.

Lovely fish & chips as they should be . The smell when I get out of the car is enough to get my taste buds going 😋😋

Good value for money, good portion sizes! The home made fish cakes are amazing. Will definitely be back.

Very nice, just a shame they don't do a large fish option
