Derby Supper Bar in Blackpool

Lovely old fashioned fish and chips absolutely delicious cooked fresh gorgeous gravy could eat it again

Fish and chips after northern soul alldayer at the Tower Ballroom. Owner was chatty and friendly, cod and chips cooked fresh while we waited. Lovely 🐟

Freshly cooked cod made in front of us which was very crispy and extremely tasty. The chips were of the same quality... tasty, a lovely crisp to them and not soggy or oily at all. Owner was also very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return and recommend.

Read the excellent reviews before I went and thought great The place was filthy on arrival and should have walked out but thought ide give it a chance I got haddock chips and a pie , the haddock was just about eatable the chips were very oily and pie just opened it up at top and could smell that it was rotten so threw it away , I weren’t getting I’ll for that the pie cost £2.80 as well , don’t know which fish shop the reviewers went but can’t have been that one I went 15 years ago and they were rotten but according to reviews I thought I’d give it another go but never ever again

Love this place,I always eat here when in blackpool, good honest well-cooked food. nothing fancy, just good value. good to eat here anytime, ideal for familys on a budget.

Very friendly staff, and a good value meal. I recommend looking out for the dining room special for extra value.

We visited here by recommendation and we weren't disappointed we had the special of fish chips peas bread and butter and a drink all for only £8 we were served by a very pleasant and friendly waitress who was also efficient the food was excellent and cooked beautifully I would highly recommend the Derby!

Great place to eat. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Must give it a try. Affordable prices, fast service.

Clean, efficient service. Like the idea of ordering fish and seeing it cooked as you wait. Well worth the visit.

Had a great portion of fish and chips. Nice size, not too much not too little. Prepared quickly by the nice guy behind the counter. Really nice meal, definitely recommend this place for a good meal. Good value, too.

First time was in November 2018 and couldn't wait to enjoy the food when we visited Blackpool again in December for New Year celebrations.

Have been using this fish and chip shop for years,I thought the quality would change when the ownership changed hands but I'm pleased to say the food is exactly the same as it always was and that's well cooked and generous portions served by friendly staff. Excellent value for money.i hear the business is up for sale again, I hope whoever buys it keeps it just the way it is without changing the food quality in any way

We visited the Derby Supper Bar whilst in Blackpool for the illuminations. Freshly fried fish. Hot and tasty. Would definitely visit again.

Great fish n chip place, the owner is a lovely friendly guy. Fish n chips were delicious. In great location recommend anyone to go there :-)

I was staying in a nearby B&B and found this a very handy place for a mid-evening supper. It has a small dining room at the rear of the takeaway. I found the food good, excellent value and the service friendly. They have clean toilets. It isn't sophisticated and might not meet everyone's needs but it well satisfied mine.

Nipped in to get the kids my self and the wife a chippy tea staff where friendly and helpful and the food was fresh and tasty

Quick supper as was late when we arrived in Blackpool. Lovely hot chips with mushy peas. Would definitely recommend a visit.

We have been here for tea, it’s across the way from our B and B. Staff are friendly and helpful, eat in and take away available. Food is delicious and meal deals are available. Reasonably priced and a wide range of food to choose from! Lovely atmosphere with a 70s decor and vibe it’s like your eating back in time, what a lovely little place :) polished off with a brill cup of tea!

We arrived at 8pm ,we ordered cod and chips

This old supper bar has been going for something like 90 years and despite having changed hands a number of times it still retains its old local community spirit and serves the locals well.

This isn't a posh restaurant,but the food and service are excellent. It's great value for a sit in restaurant. There's not a lot of room, so get in early because it can get very busy.

Called early Tuesday just opened so we had dining room to ourselves, Served by lovely lady and Served straight away ,the Fish and Chips were nice and hot,I agree with other comments the Fish are lovely but the Chips a bit thin .

We have visited 4 times, various items ordered all been lovely. Keep it up please, we travel to Marton cos your food is worth the distance. Thank you

I had Fish and chips from this chippy tonight and it was amazing. Fish was huge and plenty chips. No meagre portions here. The Chip shop itself is Spotlessly clean and staff friendly. Best chippy in Blackpool.

We stopped her for a fish n chip supper on a visit to Blackpool. The fish was lovely and light, but the chips were thin and when mixed with gravy turned to mush. Plus staff could be better organised

Stopped here for something quick to eat when in Blackpool at the weekend. Had to wait a while for the order, fish was not crispy as you would expect and chips were not great, soggy and looked like they were possibly frozen chips! And you have to pay for brown sauce!! Definitely not the best chip shop we have visited.

This has to be the best chippy in the area we as a family if want a chippy tea will always go here the staff are fantastic and my kids love the food always fresh and hot

I must say I had the best fish and chips from here and great service with a smile thank you Sophie and Calgar

There was only my husband and I in, we both had fish, chips, peas, bread and butter and two teas for £7.50 each.Plenty on the plate, and it was hot and not greasy.Staff very nice

chips fishcake and curry sauce absolutely superb i cannot fault the quality of the chips i love visiting this chippy even though its only once a year for the chess i always seek it out and there are always people eating in or waiting to be served which for me is a good sign

Thoroughly enjoyed my steak and kidney pudding from this quaint diner. Competitively priced and polite attentive staff.

First visit here. Ate in the seating area at the back. It wasnt that busy but the wait was very very long (would be better to bring drinks first at least). Portion size is small compared to what you'd expect from a chippy. Chips werent the best, to my taste anyway. Tea also tasted a bit funny, could be the blackpool water...Staff were very friendly, no issues there, just a few simple improvements would make it a place to recommend, since its nice to have a sit-down chippy.

We sat in and had some of the best fish and chips I have ever had. Absolutely delicious. Plus the best and most welcome cup of tea, ever :-)

The staff were friendly, and there was a que which suggested it would be a nice place for tea. If you genuinely know what a good chip shop should be like, you're best going elsewhere, the food ... was terrible.There were many green chips, more had eyes in. They were greasy. The pie I had tasted odd and made Greggs seem like the Ritz!!None of us even ate half of the meal. WOW ...just WOW.

visited here over two nights of our stay. 1st night we had a take away and food was good and plentiful. 2nd night we all sat in and had great service and food again was great and plentiful. Would return again and again.

We come here every year the food is amazing very clean and the staff are very nice and helpful.the place never changes and it's well priced

Food here is average - but it's not perfect. The shabby feel of the interior could be improved and the few times i've been i've never seen more than 2 people in the queue. But my biggest problem with the Derby supper bar is the miserable woman who serves there. The first few times i've visited I let it go as i thought maybe she had problems at home etc, but it seems she is always like this. I'm sure she a nice lady but it doesn't hurt to be slightly welcoming to your customers (i doubt she is the owner - if she is then i hope she takes note) - I came out of there tonight depressed at her non-existent manner towards me (and the one other person ordering behind me) - For god's sake woman, i wash cars for a living and am always very polite and friendly with all the customers that come in. If you don't want to face the public, love.... don't get a job in a chippy. I will be using a different chip shop from now on. I'm only assuming the cracked greasy mirrors on the wall are like that purely because maybe she looked into one. Seriously love - Cheer up.

Visited after a zoo trip. Staff were lovely food was fast and served hot. Cannot fault this lovely little place!

I have been using this fish & chip shop since the early 1970s & never had a complaint, with any of the many different owners. In my personal view the present owners have let standard slip. The fish frier appears to be wearing his every day cloths to work, no apron or chefs jacket. The food quality is OK but everything looks shabby. Sorry but this is my honest opinion.

To be honest I have only bought chips here a few times and nothing else so I cant comment on anything other than Chips and they were really nice crispy and not fatty. Very friendly staff.

Used this chip shop for the first time as my normal one was closed. After this visit, the Derby Supper Bar will be my first choice. The young lady who served us was polite and very chatty. The chips were very well cooked and not in the slightest greasy. My only slight criticism would be that when I asked for mushy peas, instead of them being served in tubs like most other chip shops,my hey were poured over the pie and chips which made the top few chips soggy and looking very unappealing! That said, I may have been able to get them separate if I had asked.

Lovely place nice staff always enjoy my food here it's great that u can order fish n chips n sit down inside prices are reasonable too be coming to this since I was little always a pleasure xx

Lovely Fish n chips. Served quick and efficient too. Near to GYNN SQ, not a high class restaurant with linin tablecloths, but a good reasonably priced place to eat. Open till late. Take a ways too.

Had take away fish and chips early on a Saturday evening. The fish was mostly batter and the chips were the greasiest I have ever had, being clumped together and swimming in oil. There are much better fish and chip shops in Blackpool so I would give this one a miss.

Wife was cooking sea bass and suggested that I order Fish and Chips from Derby Supper Bar, Fish was a bit dry and would have given 4 out of 5 but to be honest, in the last few years it has been 5 out of 5 so will give them the benefit of the doubt as lovely friendly staff and I haven't reviewed them before..

Good enough reviews so gave it a punt. Opted for sit in, decent portion sizes, good chips, good fish. All in all good enough chippy.

I used to go here with my mum just after my swimming lesson, I remember it much better than it is in reality. Give it a miss, there are many other better places in Blackpool. The inside is soo dated and actually looks rather dirty. The large mirrors which face you at the counter are absolutely filthy and look mouldy and broken. The tiles are a drab 1950's brown and wood panel on the wall. The door hardly opened and jarred as I opened it making it difficult to get in the joint!The place was empty when I walked in and I saw chips half cooked and sat in a basket under a heat lamp. Shortly after I ordered my chips, curry and barm, the server dug the greasy spade in the partly cooked chips and threw them back in the fryer. As I got home I found the chips absolutely sodden in grease. The chips look like they were originally made from frozen potatoes. The curry sauce was ok. But let's face it, it's not too hard to add boiling water to a powder to make it!The barm was small, looked just like a small budget shop bought one. Overall, poor poor stuff. No better then Farmfoods budget chips (they'd probably be better!)You'd be better traveling a bit further to Red Bank road to the big yellow Chippy there (can't remember the name) or heading South to Marton and going to the Cottage Chippy on Newhouse Road.

Food was all good and staff where nice.no complaints from us, will use again if were passing. Plenty of seats and toilets available

Called here on the way to see the illuminations and championship firework display.We were lucky that there was only a few people were in when we arrived. 5 minutes later people were queing up at the door. A very popular place it seems. The food is excellent and service is very good. You pay when the waitress has served you with your meal, so there's no hanging about afterwards. For a fish bar the menu is quite extensive and there is a childrens menu. Cost, £19.00 for 2 x fish, chips and peas, 2 childrens meals with drinks. The decor is cheap and cheerful but clean. We will go back, next time we are in Blackpool.

Really clean fish and chip restaurant with a good menu, lots of choice - something for everyone. Staff were really helpful. One street behind the main promenade in Blackpool

Always been a very good chippy but has now got new owners . I got fish and chips took them home and was very greasy. if the girls are cooking I never have a prob but the guy don't seem to cook too well at all I will not be returning on the days the guy is there sorry

My wife and i had fish and chips from here yesterday evening, fish was freshly made, as were the chips, and £4.50 each, very tasty, think they could absorb the cost of the decent forks though instead of charging 5p for them instead of giving out the real flimsy cheap ones.Opens from 4pm until 11pm on the day we were there.

Food freshly made, very tasty and well cooked. We enjoyed our fish suppers sitting on the promenade watching a stunning sunset.

The front part of this place is a fish and chip take away. Through to the back is a small dining room. The decor is basic, dark and dated. There is a WC for male and female customers off the dining room. We were tired after a long journey and thought fish and chips would be ideal. The fish was edible but the chips were horrible. On the positive side the young girl who served us was very pleasant. Looking at other positive reviews maybe we caught the food on a bad night but regrettably I couldn't recommend this place.

Had fish and chips from here last night as a last minute supper and I was not disappointed good portion size and the quality was breathtaking the chips were golden and crisp and the fish was cooked to perfection will defo be going back there next time I am in blackpool

Visited this establishment with 4 friends after a day out in Southport as we were too late to get meal in hotel. It took 35 minutes to bring our order, and although we all ordered the same meal, the size varied quite a bit.The food was cold and greasy. Avoid this resturant if you are in Blackpool.

We have just had our second visit of the year to Blackpool and as we did earlier in the year we ate at the Derby Supper Bar, just off Gynn Square The dining room was very busy because the illuminations are on, so we had a short wait for our order for Fish & Chips and Chicken & Chips but the food was freshly cooked, red hot and delicious when it arrived. If you want Fish and Chips that are excellent quality and a very reasonable price give this place a try

Called into the Derby Supper Bar again after a visit in April when we found it to be a nice good quality fish supper.A trip through the illuminations would not be the same without fish n chipsOn this visit we decided to eat in, the dining area is clean and bright the service was quick with a pleasant member of the staff.Fish n chips and steak pudding and chips with gravy and peas was excellent and finished our trip to Blackpool of nicely.

Great service, got a dining room and waitress service.Great fish and best chips.or just get chips cross over the road and eat them by the sea.

the fis was great chips were not that good seemed like they were frozen chips service great shop very clean

Great food great fish tasty fish is nice fried nice and soft helpful and the hamburgers well this is the secret of success don't tell everyone will want one so find out for yourself so McDonald's no more promenade no more sub standard food now forget then and plz visit derby supper bar u don't get McDonald's junk food I get quality so will u so do it plz enjoy

I have been to this supper bar on many occaisions. This place never ceases to amaze me. It is always clean and good value for money. The food is second to non. A must.

Great fish and chip shop. Great value for money and very friendly service – with a nice conversation and a bright smile. We arrived after 9 pm hoping to sit and devour our chips there onsite but the sit-down restaurant area is only open until 9 pm. So that was a little disappointing. Despite that, the food was scrummy and that’s the main thing.

Off the Gynn roundaboutr, on Dickson Road, handy for the Promenade, just behind the Hilton - stop in on your way home and get a bag of delicious chips (and the fish isn't bad either). Not greasy and they are hot! Good choice of fish and pies etc. Easy parking. Opens at 4pm.

This is right behind the Hilton hotel, a really good traditional fish & chip shop. Eaten here a couple of times and always enjoyed the food. Nothing fancy, just good cooking.Plenty of tables to eat-in. Gets my vote every time for a good traditional meal.

Called here while on a weekend brake over easter, nice and clean with happy staff, the fish was cooked fresh with very nice batter, we both had fish n chips and of course mushy peas, and has to be said enjoyed them very much.Good food and service, only a short hop from the main road but worth a visit.

I've been using this chippy for a few years now. The place is clean, the staff are friendly & the food is piping hot & delicious! Never had any problems or bad experiences. I recommend the chippy to all of my guests & they all comment on how nice the food is. At the end of the day its a Chippy the meal costs less than a fiver on average. If you want restaurant quality food go to a restaurant!

I had a takeaway from here on a Friday night, service was brisk and friendly and all food ordered cooked fresh. I would tend to agree, however, with a previous review of this place that the chips seem to be frozen and then fried, not the typical type chips you would expect. This, for me, left them flavourless and bland which spoilt the overall experience. Plus points, the fish that my friend had was nice and the battered sausage I had was hot and tasty, too. The mushy peas and curry sauce were good and the price of the food was, I would say, value for money.There is an seated area inside, this looked clean and tidy but I only observed from the front so can't say too much about that. Unfortunately, this is not somewhere that I would rush to return to.

I must confess that the service in the Derby Supper Bar was good, speedy and friendly and the meal when it came had been freshly cooked.However, the quality of the chips was poor, thin potato chips, just like French fries and seemingly frozen rather than fresh chipped potatoes. In addition the fish had plenty of batter but not too much fish inside it ... but the mushy peas were very nice, which was just as well in view of the other two offerings. In view of other reviews it makes me wonder whether the restaurant has changed hands.My friend and I were really hungry so it was a great disappointment to have this poor fare served up and we left the place still feeling hungry. It was a most disappointing experience and I will definitely not be calling again nor recommending it to others.

We came across the Derby by accident on a rainy Saturday evening when looking for a quick, hot, tasty meal! Great p, speedy service, great prices and delicious fish cakes!

Just been to the Derby fish and chip shop in Dickson road, BlackpoolExcellent Fish and Chips. Plenty of choice. Friendly staffOnly down side needs updating a bit

My family and I were looking for somewhere quiet, cheap and cheerful to eat on a Sunday night so decided to eat here. I was staying at the Merginn Hotel round the corner an had noticed it a couple of days earlier so thought we would try it out. We arrived about 6pm and they were just closing the restaurant area which seemed a bit early as they were open till 9pm however they told us we could still eat in, to take a seat and they would take our order. We all decided what we wanted but as I normally tend to find that I'm given far too many chips which tend to be floppy and greasy I suggested that instead of the little one having kids scampi and chips, she should get adult scampi (12 pieces instead of 4 I think and saved us 40p in the process) and we share my chips. When the food arrived it looked amazing with good sized portions. My chicken nuggets were battered beautifully and the little one's scampi were breaded just how we both like them! On trying the chips they were absolutely gorgeous and the best chips ever so I was gutted I suggested we share them!! For 3 adult meals, an adult scampi, a juice, 1 tea and 1 coffee it cost us just over £15 which was a bargain!! What we did find very expensive was ketchup at 16p so we did without (we think 5p in McDonalds is expensive!)!We will definitely visit again if we're ever in Blackpool!

I'd never had food from here until recently because it looked a bit tired and grubby on the outside. However I am absolutely over the moon with the food from there. Everybody in my family loves the chips and the fish is lovely too. I don't know what they do to the chips but they taste like they used to when I was little.

I have been visiting Blackpool for many years now, and i have visited the Derby on every visit. It hasn't changed a bit since i was a young lad on holiday with my parents. This adds to the trip down memory lane scenario. My wife and i were there with our two boys, and we were under £20 for all of our meals. The best value ( and tasting ) fish and chips you can get anywhere.

a nice clean chippy with pleasant staff. just oof the prom behind the hilton hotel. good range of food with a seated area.

Went tonight for 2 x fish chips, shop was empty so fresh fish was in the fryer in seconds, was soon on way home with my dinner in the bag, got home in five minuets to find my freshly cooked fish n chips pipping hot, full of flavour with batter to die for. I would rate this as one of the best fish n chips I have ever had in the uk.Well done and thank you.

This supper bar had been recommended to us by friends and it certainly didn't disappoint. The seating area at the back of the chip shop was very clean and we were served very quickly after sitting down. The menu was quite extensive and we couldn't believe how low the prices were. The food was delicious and excellent quality, the fish was that big it was hanging over the side of the plate ! They make a great mug of tea too. Really great place, just on the road behind the Hilton hotel. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Very friendly staff and the fish and chips were good but I would say it was worth the £4.50. This is incredibly cheap considering we pay closer to £12 in London...

Good food, drink & polite friendly staff. Although quiet at this time of year stillenjoyed th atmosphere.

The Derby Supper Bar is a fish & chip shop on Dickson road, just behind the Hilton Hotel on the promenade beside Gynn Square in Blackpool where as well as serving the usual take away food, this fish and chip shop has an dining area in the back for sit down food. A group of 5 of us went there on Saturday 13th Oct, where we had excellent fish and chips and chicken and chips at reasonable prices. The dining room was nearly full when we arrived and a few people were queuing for take away food but despite this after ordering, we only waited for a short time until our freshly cooked piping hot food and drinks arrived. There was one girl serving in the dining room who was really cheerful and polite, despite people constantly asking her for extra things (sauce, bread and butter) after she had served their order and was trying to serve other tables.We have eaten here for the past few years, when we are staying in Blackpool (at least twice every year) and even though it is not the most modern or up to date (décor wise) compared to the fish and chip shops in Blackpool town centre, for excellent food and reasonable prices we would highly recommend the Derby Supper Bar.
