Thank you for being open when many others would be closed. Our fresh cooked fish was a real treat, on a cold night, and a taste of the Irish Curry Sauce.

They do a lunch time menu...fish and chips are brilliant..but the kebab meat is dry and taste less..I didn't try any others...but fir the price it what it is...please don't take this as negative..look at it as a positive...correct it...its not the wrong shop...I'm not stupid.... I cannot fault your fish...lot of batter but everyone is different

Wow, the most fantastic food. We had heard about the shop from relatives and grandchildren, my wife tried it first with the grandchildren, she raved about it and persuaded me to try it. I was not sure as it a small back street establishment. What a surprise I got, the food is fabulous and so fresh. The staff were wonderful and jolly, the fryer was established at his work and knew exactly what he was doing. Would I go back, absolutely and have already recommended to friends. Truly the freshest and most moreish scrumptious fish and chips I have ever tasted.

Don’t bother whilst the service was great the fish and chips were as bad as you can get. Most of it ended up in the bin. Soggy batter tasteless fish and chips that were all stuck together. Feel that quantity over quality was the issue.

Chips are pretty ropey. The cod is questionable because I can’t say it is cod. No taste to it. The servers are a bit loud and rude. The prices for their deals are very good just a shame on the quality.

If I could give no stars i would absolutely the worst chip shop in England greasy batter and dry fish chips disgusting, staff look like they need a good wash and learn how to count, pay more attention to hygiene in the shop and not chat up men certainly will not go back and would ask people to avoid at all costs unless you want to be ill cant even batter a sausage

They used to be good, but now the prices are much more expensive than other local chip shops (e.g. a large cod is £8, large chips £4.50, but the same are only £4.20 and £3 elsewhere), and unfortunately the portions are noticeably smaller than they used to be too.

Visited from Rothwell yesterday evening (Friday) which was busy with queues running out of the door in the wet weather, but I can understand why. The doner kebab and chips were lovely! I got a very generous portion in a large tray which was filled to the brim and wrapped neatly. Brilliant value for money at £8 for a large portion. I didn't realise it was cash only here until I stepped in so I had to nip to the Co-Op across the road to draw some money out, so if you plan to visit - bring cash. My fault on that however. There are two ladies and a gent who are very bubbly and friendly with the customers which makes the experience as a whole nice :) I would highly recommend, even if it's a 5 mile drive down the road!

Our usual place was closed so we tried Desborough Fish Bar. £17.70 for two fish and chips with a small curry and small mushy peas. The fish were tiny, more a child's portion and £5 each. A regular size, large on their menu, was £9 each. The batter was soggy and extremely pale, definitely not cooked properly. Large chips was £4.50. They even charged 20p for a small, flimsy bag to carry everything in. A very poor quality but expensive takeaway. We won't revisit.

Upon entering what used to be my local chip shop.... I was behind 2 people I'm the shop and my phone rang, I answered as was important. Whilst on the phone the shop cleared only leaving my self and the ladies serving customers however if was still on the phone the ladies asked me if she could help 3 times whilst clearly seeing I was on the phone so I quickly ended the call... I then asked of she could see I was on the phone or not and was very very rude towards my self. Lost a customer here for sure !! Such a shame lovely chip shop as well

I have been using Desborough Fish Bar for several years but have never left a review. A negative review prompted me a write a long overdue positive one. I like my fish very lightly battered and this is cooked for me to perfection. The chips are only cooked in relatively small batches to ensure that they hot and of good quality. On the very rare occasion that they have been of lesser quality the staff have resolved the problem immediately and without question. The service by the experienced team is cheerful, friendly and efficient. I never go anywhere else locally, this is excellent. I f you have a problem, tell them and they will fix it.

Popped in to grab some chips! Was greeted by the most lovely ladies (can’t remember your names) we had a couple of mins wait as they were making fresh chips, so we got chatting! All I can say is the 2 ladies who worked on Friday 14th Aug u are brilliant! Great sense of humour! Lots of giggles & great customer service! I’m not gonna lie...I enjoyed waiting in the chippy rather than being in the pub - it was a barrel of laughs! So not only were the ladies welcoming, funny & polite! But the food was fresh & lovely! Defo be going back!! Ps - covid rules were followed during this vist! :)

Desborough Fish Bar is probably the best fish and chips shop in the universe! The ladies that look after you are really friendly, very helpful (I'll explain why shortly). The shop is super clean and tidy. The portions are amazing. And it's great value for your money. I was working on Station Road on Sunday, I spotted the local chippy, got all excited, couldn't wait for 4 o'clock to come round. Had a chat with my supervisor Phil (top man), we agreed that I could take my break just after 16:30, straight into the chippy, the lovely ladies greeted me and WOW! The biggest fish potions I've ever seen (nicknames the SHARK!). So big I asked the ladies (sorry I didn't get your names) if they could cut it in half, which they did (thank you). I ate some of the other half with chips and saved the other half to share for breakfast in the morning. Thank you so much for the best fish and chips I've experienced in ages. You're the bestest, brilliant xx
