Docs Fish/Chips & Cafe in Down

Really nice food and great service

Boggin fish supper paid £11:40 the fish is a pollock out of Iceland 6 for 3 or 4 quid obsoletey migging dry as a bone bones in fish cooked blood and thin it’s definitely not a fish shop fish it was a pollock from Iceland I’ll never go back to docs nearly being sick here and I only took one bite it’s in the recycle bin I’m not even giving it to the dog. It’s that ruff.

Fish was soggy with the cooking fat and the batter was overcooked. The chips were passable. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Paid for a ‘large’ chips and cannot work out what on earth is large about it. It’s clearly a ‘normal’ portion of chips with a ‘large’ price tag. The Doc’s in Ardglass is much better and so are other places in Downpatrick. Disappointed.

I have always used Docs as my chip shop of choice, but that will no longer be the case. I rang to place my order. No answer. I assumed it was busy, so I walked from the car. 2 min walk. Got there. Empty! I could live with that. However, when I got home, the chips were hardly cooked. Again, if busy, you may understand, but that was not the case. Staff need some motivation. Sadly, I will not be back unless remedial action is taken.

Love fish chips from doc fish a chips 🍟 😋

Unable to get an order correct. Food is thrown together and of poor quality. The container for the curry had spilled over everything else as it wasn’t closed correctly. Chips tasted stale and not cooked properly, and the fish is rotten. Chicken is rubbery, and you only get a few pieces. Overpriced for what it is. They need to pay attention to what they’re doing instead of messing about, maybe they’d get orders right then. No onions, then they had tons of onions. Charged 50p for a bit of cheese we didn’t even ask for!! Baps were stale and the burgers were tasteless. Absolutely disgusting. Manager couldn’t have cared less when we rang him.

Directly across from the St. Patrick's Center, this small take-away is well worth a visit. The focus is on fish and chips and goujons and they do them very well indeed.

Great chippy - one of the best in NI. Fish is brought in fresh every day, chips are fluffy on the inside. Their branch in Newcastle even does gluten free fish in batter and chips!

Old oil…, fish dry burned… 11.40 £

Nice selection of takeaway food and not too long to wait .

We where overcharged for our meals Which i had to raise after working it out by comparing prices on the board. Got home to find that the order was wrong. And what was named as a chicken burger was more like 2 large chicken goujons. That was on both burgers. The baps where still frozen. 1 burger was dressed incorrectly. The chips where hard and undercooked with minimal curry or pepper sauce on either. I understand owners comment on another review stating wholesale prices have increased. 50 pence for a sprinkle of cheese seems excessive to say the least. If you are charging high end prices we need to recieve a high end product. Unfortunately you've lost a family of 5 customers that used the service on a regular basis. Food is now over priced and sub standard. Tonight is just the last straw im afraid.

Placed a phone order told it was £29.50 got there the price went up to £34.30 very little fish in the fish supper mostly batter got scampi and chips scampi was dead on when I say chips I got 5 chips with it definitely not worth the money

Good fish and chips and have cafe selling variety of other foods.

Prices are increasing 9 pounds for a chicken kabab 5 pounds for chips was 650 increase off 250 not on people avoid at all costs they are riping people off not worth the increase stay clear and keep your money better to close than to rip people off

Find Docs is always good in Newcastle, Ardglass and now here. The single cod was golden and crispy with a few chips. Whilst not the biggest I ever got it was adequate and tasty. Around £6.00 is fair price and place very clean.

Bit surprised at negative views. Always found Docs good in Newcastle. Anyway too late for sit in so I ordered a single haddock. I know it takes about 8 minutes to fry a fish so no rush. It came with a scoop of free chips. The chips were not hot but tasted nice. The haddock was fresh and burning hot. I always open the box immediately to let steam out and keep fish crisp. Fish was nice and fresh, but not the biggest I have seen for £6.80. Still I enjoyed it and will be back. It was about 7.45 pm. Place was clean. Staff never shut up and I could hear them talking about shoes constantly. Unprofessional but food good.

Where we were sitting there was a constant banging noise.very dissatisfied with my over priced burger very thin cheap burger inside a BAP wit more Lettuce than meat. Infact a mc donald burger would have been nicer.

Take away cheese burger came with only bun, burger and cheese. No onion, indeed no salad of any kind, nor pickles. I had to ask for sauce. I won’t be back.

Fish was ok chips were basically raw. I ordered a meat pastor burger and was given a homemade pastie burger which was raw on the inside and burnt on the outside. Was sadly disappointed.

Chips tasted like they had been heated up, chicken burger rubbery and scampi overcooked. Everything had been either heated up or over cooked. Docs used to be good. Won't be back for a long time

Chips cold southern fried chicken fillet burger cold bap not toasted wont be back

My wife and I were foreign nurses who arrived in Downpatrick in 2007 and worked for two years there. We always eat fish and chips every week in that place. After three years we moved to England, and a couple of years on we migrated here to the USA. Until now, with so many fish and chips shops we went to in UK and US, we still think that the Docs of Downpatrick are still the best we ever had.

Genuinely lovely, really enjoyed it, first time trying it & a fan now

Vraiment pas terrible et l'accueil encore moins mais il y a du monde alors ça doit sûrement plaire à d'autres

Great fish and chips, probably the best in the area

Awful food. The fresh cod was just about edible. The chicken goujons were completely inedible, they were so over cooked the batter just cracked off them & kids couldn’t even chew them. We weren’t offered salt & vinegar. Staff were unfriendly. Steer clear, complete waste of money the food went straight in the bin.

Very tasty fish and chips. Will revisit. Lots of choice on their menu. Takeaway as well as a sit-in.

Excellent chippy popular with the locals. Now with a facility for eating in.

Still can't dine in which is a shame 😕

Great fish and chips always hot

Take away was OK although didn't give me forks for gravy cjip

Doc's Fish & Chip shop was ultra clean. I ordered over the phone, very pleasant girl took my order. The fish suppers were large and very tasty.

very deer and long waiting and staff attitude stinks

Ordered a cod. Got home and it was so over cooked I could have beaten off the kitchen counter. Hard batter not a good sign box it came in had a layer of grease on the bottom. Picked around the fish inside the horrible hard greasy batter until I chucked it into the bin. Never again. Docs get your act together there is a lot of chippy out there.

Great service and fish and chips, with a great counter service at the doorway.

The real deal for a fish supper..

Was at downshire hospital, waiting on mum getting surgery. Went to docs for fish supper, it was mighty so nice and no grease. Gave the staff thumbs up before leaving as we ate in car.. So thought I would just give them a wee shout out in trip advisor too.

We had a carry out due to not being able to sit in took it home and we both really enjoyed it no what you order the food is always lovely

Fish is nice, onion rings bit greasy other than that, fast service and friendly staffs

The staff need to learn customer service and prices are bit high for the portion size

Just got a fish supper in docs worst ever chips rock hard fish over cooked not worth £7.95 I'll not come back.

Worst fish supper ever chips rock hard fish over cooked not worth £7.95 will not be back

Amazing service and food. Very recommended

Very good fish supper.. lots on the menu..you can sit in too.. I did like the chips from Golden Chip better but they're closed now.. Normally priced and good staff.

Great food good price and the staff were very friendly

Regular visitor here Menu has a great choice, staff are always friendly and food is top quality Would def recommend !!

Lovely food. Had a full soda and was perfect and the 4oz bacon cheese burger was delicious!

Had fish and chips x2 a bit greasy and the portions size of the chips was terrible considering i asked for large.. was more like a small..will be going back to Molloy's

Steak kebab on chips, salad and kebab sauce. Wallop.

A GOOD PLACE FOR FISH AND CHIPS

Visited Dpk Docs on sat 12 Oct at approx 2.30. Sat in cafe & greeted by a friendly efficient helpful young waitress. Our meals arrived quickly & were tasty & good size & price. Our waitress was extremely helpful & smiling at all times.

First time back in a few years, food good, girl serving us was lovely, checked our order and made sure all was the way we wanted it. We'll be back.

Chips good, pastie like rubber not good

The inside is absolutely immaculate, as are all of the staff. The service is prompt, efficient and always very pleasant. The prices are fantastic and the variety of the menu is vast - there's seriously something for everyone here from the most delicious plump and juicy burgers, over-stuffed baguettes, chicken curry, filled sodas, and hot dogs, to the icing on the cake, the main event, the big deal for anyone who loves fish: the cod. It is a thing of breathtaking beauty. The haddock is similarly gorgeous, too, I must add, and the scampi is battered and also divine, served with salad, a few chips and tartare sauc

Very disappointing food today, more than 10 meals bought for a work lunch and all were bad. A grease fest and looked like it was threw together...also my sausage supper was squashed at the bottom of the brown bag..will not be back.

Not bad food..a little overpriced though for a chip shop!

Food fresh, non greasy and very nice

Service was really bad, stood for 15 minutes with no order being taken, place wasnt that busy even. Dont know what food was like as I had to leave due to time constraints.

Used to love going to docs chippy so last night I fancied a fish but when I got it home I was very unimpressed about my fish I’ve had bigger fish fingers 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Lovely fish and chips lovely service too.

The Doc Burger is one of the best to be had. Add on a chip and curry sauce on the side and dinner is served. Take away and sit in both available.

Dropped into Docs for a late brunch... absolutely excellent food... sumptuous pasties and great filled sodas... well worth a visit

Online it's says it closes at 10:30pm I arrived at 10:01 and was turned away and told it was closed and that they actually close at 10:00pm, had been really looking forward to it for a while as I don't live in the area! Won't be coming back again!!

Very tasty, good value, and bright funny staff.A1!

Fish was cooked to perfection but rather small.

Staff were very helpful and friendly. Chips were excellent, fish was probably the nicest ive ever tasted. Reasonably priced and good variety on the menu. Would highly recommend

Over priced and not good the golden chip new management team better coming soon half price than others and better staff come try if u like real food and taste plus fish and chips and a drink and peas for £5

I use the take away service. You can order, pay and come back. There is the usual 'chippy' fare, but I've only had the fish. Good portions and helpful staff.

Hands down the best fish and chips I’ve ever had

Lovely food helpful staff and good value for money

Food to die for Absalutly beautiful.the staff so nice xx

Docs is excellent for a fish supper, fresh quality produce served by friendly smiling staff who are pleased to accept your custom. Sparkling clean and highly recommended. Good luck to all at Docs.

Prob the best chippy in downpatrick

At one level it is a very good takeaway which provides a varied menu ranging from fish and chips to burgers and chicken. If you decide to eat in this little place really excels. You get restaurant style food and service for a fraction more than takeaway prices. Our server, who divided her time between the sit down area and the takeaway, could not have been more attentive. On both aspects, takeaway and sit in, I would highly recommend.

The best restaurant in town... incredible food and staff.. I had dinner here two of three night I was in town... The 2nd night diners were treated to a semi credible musicians playing authentic Celtic music and everyone in the building South as I did that and are incredible

Brilliant food both sit in and carry out.

If you want good fish and chips in downpatrick this is where to get them. Always use Doc's when the fish n chips notion. Recommended

No hay cerveza de ningún tipo, ni opciones sin gluten. Puedes comer un fish and chips de lo más normalito. La camarera simpática.

A very lovely little nook. It was very tasty just a little bit slow. A nice clean chippy.

Love the chicken kebab with house sauce

Really good fish and chips, burgers etc, and good sized portions.You can also sit in. Friendly staff.

Arrived at apartment just by Doc's chippy bout 8ish and we all a bit peckish so we had curry and chips. Lovely hot fresh chips and a yummy curry sauce

Called in for a late lunch intending to try the fish but noticed other diners had ordered the all day breakfast so we opted for this instead.

Docs Fish and Chip Restaurant is tucked away from the main thoroughfare in Downpatrick but it is well worth hunting it out. The seating area is pleasant and, unlike many fish restaurants, it is not "steamy". The menu is comprehensive and includes non-fish dishes but the fish they serve is superb. I chose cod and it came perfectly cooked - lots of nice fish and not too much batter. The chips were well cooked and very, very tasty and the portions were very generous. For a quick, tasty meal whilst visiting Downpatrick, this is the place to go.

we go here a lot of Fridays after horseriding nearby. excellent fish and chips. nice decor. wish it had a toilet though as we are all usually bursting for the loo by the time we get here.

Was recommended this restaurant by a friend. Went at tea time on a Tuesday and it was very quiet which surprised me. Very average fish and chips, dry mushy peas and not much fish in the batter. When I lifter the salt to put on my food the cellar was so greasy that it slipped out of my fingers! Sit in was generally grubby. Staff did as they needed to. Would probably pass on this place if wanting fish and chips again, there are better places in Downpatrick.

We bought a takeaway here on friday. Three kids cod and chips and battered scampi with salad and chips. All meals where freshly prepared and really tasty.

Nice place to sit in and enjoy your lunch

Had the haddock and chips sitting in. Well presented and very tasty. Can recommend. We returned to Doc's for another meal in Jan 2018 and once again it was spot on. Carry out was very busy but we were attended to with no problems. Meal comes well presented for a chip shop. The staff are great and know what you need before you do.

Fast good food , friendly staff

No teníamos demasiadas expectativas ya que fue una parada rápida para comer algo, pero nos sorprendió muchísimo lo bueno que estaba todo. Pedimos una hamburguesa especial y un perrito jumbo, y ambas cosas estaban espectaculares. Lo prepararon muy bien para llevar, y aguantó caliente un buen rato.

Waste of money. Wouldn't go back

Excellent service of staff! Was greeting by a lovely waitress who couldn’t be any more nicer and made u feel like you were at home !!

Lovely food, waitress was lovely, very pleasant, so helpful nothing was to much to ask! Will be returning very soon

Great food plenty of choice nice staff and prices are reasonable

A decent place to go for a quick meal or a night out, generic fish and chips shop with nothing special on the menu, a few deals to save a few quid but most of these can only be used around lunch. Order times can also be bizarre as I've been left waiting either 5 minutes or 20 minutes for a large bag of chips, even during slow times!

First time at docs and will be back! Chips are really good and giant hot dog is massive!

Had my dinner here last night with a friend.

No bathroom facilities. Staff couldn't guarantee meat and egg would not come into contact with food. Hardly sanitary
