Frydays in High Peak

Visited this evening with my 5 year old for a treat and can certainly recommend. The food was great and the service was absolutely fantastic. Such friendly and helpful staff I can’t praise them enough. Will definitely be going again.

Lovely tasting fish and chips while on holiday, including gluten free option for member of our group with food allergies, which he said was delicious. Would definitely use again if only we didn’t live so far away!

Frydays (cod and cake) is a beautiful cafe/restaurant/takeaway, community hub in the heart of lovely Whaley Bridge. It serves not only fish and chips but also other freshly cooked food to order, catering to dietary needs and preferences. It serves barista style coffees, freshly baked cakes, (courtesy of the manager/owner) - sandwiches, quiches, baked potato, salads etc etc. This is a family business and it shows. There is an obvious increased employee friendly socially responsive approach to customer service here, starting with a smile. You can have a quick moan about the weather, a chat about the football (bearing in mind that staff are also working incredibly hard simultaneously, to serve your freshly cooked food, in a timely manner) You can sit quietly in a corner with your book, laptop, people watch with your doggie, whatever is right for you. You can congregate (or sit alone) upstairs in a tastefully decorated restaurant. There is a licensed bar also upstairs. You can have numerous types of events here; birthday, anniversary, family/friend/colleagues get together, celebration. whatever ? This business also displays and champions local art work. The toilets are spotless and decorated to a high standard. The restaurant is light well ventilated, with ample spaces between tables. Thank you to all the staff who show a constant reserved, humorous,respectful approach to their customers. You make it look so easy when the work must be exhausting. 🏆 🌹 champagne 🍾 ❤️

I must have driven past here so many times. For once, we were able to stop. Parking can be just potluck. I never knew this was a restaurant, I always thought it was just a takeaway. I had a regular battered cod and large mushy peas and curry sauce. The portions were generous. My colleague ordered cheesy chips, which were really good. The cheese was grilled before serving, a nice touch. Again, it is a generous portion. It's worth checking out. it seems to be popular with the locals.

When you're Coeliac you accept there will be things you can never eat again an fish and chips from a chippy used to be one of those. ...but no.longer. Frydays is a cafe as well as a chip shop and everyone is catered for with friendly and helpful staff snd great food choices. The cakes are amazing and they managed to make a simple sandwich taste wonderful. The locals obviously know what a treasure they have but this is a place worth travelling to.

Delicious cod and chips great portion fair price ,great idea to have cakes to choose from as well lovely chippy tea!

Cod and Cake meets an elite standard by which you can judge all other cafe/restaurants in this area and beyond. This is a family run business. All the staff are always welcoming, very friendly, non intrusive, discreet and always ready to help. The customer service is so professional it looks easy. The move from the former establishment (Frydays) clearly took a huge amount of hard work and dedication and it shows. The premises are extremely clean. Sit downstairs and enjoy the hustle and bustle or upstairs for bigger parties. You can come alone with your book and sit comfortably. I have it on good authority that you can now have a glass of wine,beer cider etc with your meal. Great for special occasions as well, lots of tables upstairs. The atmosphere is lovely as is the ambience. I have been several times. The food is absolutely delicious and extremely varied. You can start the day with a fresh coffee and tea cake. At lunch time you can have a lovely freshly cooked plate of fish and chips (tartare sauce and lemon) or a freshly baked quiche and salad for example. There is something for all tastes and diets. Trained barista’s on hand to make coffee, and some of the cakes are freshly made by the owner, as are some of the pastries etc to finish your meal or have later on. I suppose every comprehensive review should invoke a drawback, so I will say the stairs leading to the upstairs restaurant are a little steep but there’s a hand rail and it is only a short flight. The is no restricted access to this lovely enterprise now since the bridge re opened and consequently the main road. I would advise all to visit and take in the lovely scenery in Whaley Bridge also.

The new Fridays Is now called cod and cake. Absolutely lovely, the new place has been tastefully done. Really nice surroundings, nice decor. Massive tasty cakes a lovely location to meet up with friends. Good luck 👍🏼

I’d given up going for fish and chips. The last good one, Fosters in Alderley Edge has gone rapidly downhill. So I took this recommendation warily. Like lots of things in life I was totally wrong. Fried in dripping the chips we’re faultless and the fish excellent. The staff speedy and friendly, this feels like a throwback in the best way. Go.

Popped by on a Friday to get fish and chips. Good portions freshly cooked and decent value. Had used 9 years earlier and would do so again

Just had the best fish & chips for a long long time, they were fresh, perfectly cooked & delicious - well done guys 👏

I've just called in for my dinner on my way into Whaley bridge and must say what a delight my fish and chips was.the fish was cooked from fresh and very tasty also a good portion of chips that wasn't greasy,.I was also able to park my van outside the shop as there is space for a few vehicles which is a bonus.also the staff were very polite and friendly.i will call again when I am in the area and would like to recommend this shop for anyone looking for good fish and chips.

Great little place stumbled upon after a walk in the Peak District, lovely friendly people working in there and the chips were cooked to perfection and portion sizes were more than generous!...will definitely stop by again next time we’re passing! 😁👍🏽

Very busy chippy near the canal, fish cooked to order and amazing chips topped off by friendly efficient and cheerful staff. P.S. picnic tables available by the canal, very handy.

Friendly people and good food! One of the best fish and chips I've had since moving to the UK! My boyfriends family is from Whaley and its by far their favourite place they've been too (and its local!)

4 generations of my. family go to Dennis.... even though I still call it Nancy’s .... Strong supporter of rebuilding/reconstruction of Whaley Resevoir ...

The best fish and chip shop around. Everything is freshly cooked and the service is great. You'll have to travl a long way to find consistently better!

Regular choice for "Chippy Tea". They have always been well known for the best chips around except fpr period when they had sold up - Glad they came back.

Decided on a chippy lunch so had to be Frydays. We both had puddings which you could tell were fresh and not sat in the steamer for too long and we both had chips. I had a small portion and the other half had a medium portion. Wow they were big portions so the mind boggles at how many you’d get in a large portion. Maybe next time we’ll get a large between us. Chips were thinner than you’d normally expect from a chippy but actually were lovely. I was tempted by the cakes that we were winking at me and opted for the chocolate brownie. Have to say it’s probably one of the best I’ve ever had.

Amazing value for the high quality of food you get! The fish is so light and delicious. Not to mention the friendly staff, I love this place!

So I visited for the first time last night. I had previously telephoned to ask for some GF batter for my fish, When I arrived, they were extremely helpful and explained that they use completely separate utensils for GF fish and food. The atmosphere in this chippy / cafe (as it does have some eat in tables) was good, very pleasant and ALL the staff were friendly. The chips were lovely and the fish was fresh and tasty. We shall definitely go there again and it was worth the 5 mile drive.WILL BE BACK.

I tend to visit these days as a treat, and I've never been let down or disappointed. Lovely chap who owns it and the same can be said for everyone behind the counter, very reasonable prices and their fish is fantastic! They've recently started doing breakfast items too. Always a pleasure to support a local business, especially one so tasty as this!

Either take away, or eating in, the fish and chips, with peas, sliced white bread and a cuppa, is v good.

Absolutely lovely people, family run, great fun with customers & caring, lovely atmosphere. I heard someone say that as I was leaving last week. Good prices & food cannot be criticised at all! The fish is cooked as you wait & can have a small fish & request less or more batter & how well cooked it is. You can have the tiniest portion of chips if you prefer or the standard huge portion. Very flexible in their menu.Also, worth mentioning that our family ordered recently from their new breakfast menu before going on a walk as .....wow, just wow! So inexpensive but beautifully cooked & not greasy or over cooked. Everything fresh. Also do wraps & other lovely salads & to die for brownies & cookies. You can even eat in if passing by on a walk.Pity it’s not right in the centre of Whaley but is well worth the 2 minute detour! Many thanks to the lovely staff from Anne & family, we’ll be back :-) xx

Excellent quality food and friendly service above and beyond as always. Good on you Dennis and family for coming to our rescue. Happy Christmas XXX

There are several chippys in the area, all with their own merits, but this one is the best based on my son's love of their chips, and he is a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to deep fried potatoes.

Always good fish and chips and friendly staff. A regular visit for us! We have sat in a few times which makes a change.

1000 times better than the other chip shop in Whaley, Dennis and his family will take care of you like you were part of their family.

El pescado aquí es maltratada y cocinados a la orden. Muy reciente cada vez. Las patatas fritas son perfectas. No sé cómo lo hacen, pero si vas al principio de la noche o simplemente antes de que las patatas fritas, el mismo sabor. Perfecto. Supongo que es el signo de un dormitorio freidora.

Me gusta mi chips caliente, y mi pasta de pescado crujiente, y administrar cada vez Frydays! Y me encanta el hecho de que no puede comer. . . . vivimos demasiado lejos para mantenerlos lo suficientemente cálido en tránsito, y no despertar al olor de pescado y patatas fritas de anoche!

Always a friendly welcome. The fish is superb, by far the best in the area and the value is great. Highly recommended

The best fish and chips I have ever tasted, they even remember your order from week to week. Highly recommended.

Me encanta este "fish and chips"! Hemos venido aquí con frecuencia. Siempre tengo un pescado que tiene una bonita, masa crujiente y no es excesivamente grasienta. El personal siempre es agradable y te sirven rápidamente. También puede llamar a su orden a través de lo que hace la vida más fácil cuando los niños tienen hambre!

Ya que mover a alta, este es el mejor "fish and chips" que hemos encontrado de lejos; decente calidad, cantidad, precios, selección y servicio. Los propietarios son cálido y amable, que siempre está lleno cuando hemos estado y todo el mundo es amable también. Un...

called her recently for fish and chips, fish cooked to order so took a few minutes but lovely taste and plenty of chips also, couple who run it are very nice and friendly, they seemed to know quite a few customers by name. well worth a visit when in the area !!

Ordered two fish and chips curry sauce peas and with in a min or two it was done strange as they said it was all fresh dried up fish and another thing they do not take debit cards i had to go off to the bank for cash and do not do receipts tax dodge ??

Tried this chippy as moved to this end of whaley bridge but was disappointed. The fish was overlooked and I'm guessing cooked in dripping as there was a strong taste and smell. Not my cup of tea unfortunately.

Out of all the Fish and Chip shops in the Chinley, Chapel en le Frith and Whaley Bridge area. Fridays is head and Shoulders above the Rest Really delicious Haddock. On a friday evening it's really busy,early evening.They handle the queues brilliantly.Whenever a taste for Fish and Chips is in my head. This is the place to go to. Thanks very much!

The cod was freshly cooked,large and tasty,the chips were OK but have eaten better,1 of the better chippys in the area.

We visited this shop on a recent trip to Whaley Bridge. Lovely fish and chips, extremely friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent fish and chips, always tasty, and generous portions, served by friendly staff. As shop always busy, save time by phoning in your order, in the knowledge that it will be ready for collection at the agreed time.

Very very busy chippy, and they do have limiting opening times. Chips are offered in 3 portion sizes - all very generous sizes. Cooked to perfection. Service was slow due to the volume of customers, but the lady behind the counter apologised for the delay. All very friendly too.

This is the best fish and chip shop for miles around - pure and simple .Friendly staff and you can eat in or takeaway . Always busy which is the best recommendation.Nothing more needs to be said .

We have eaten here on neumorous occasions . There are tables so you can eat I . They do very good burgers cooked to order. Fish and chips are very good. They have a good varied menu and at a reasonable price

Having recently moved to Whaley Bridge we decided to try our local chippy. What a find!! The fish was really thick and tasty and the chips were fresh and crispy and not soggy. The staff were really friendly - obviously a family run business. We have since been back for a second helping and are looking forward to a third visit.

Beautifully cooked, not greasy and the owners and staff are brilliant, it's obvious that the business is run on a family ethos, they all fit together perfectly!

This is a very good fish and chip shop and good value too visited after a 20 mile wild goose chase looking for the Furness vale chipy only to find it has closed down! But glad we got them from Fridays helpful friendly staff.

I've been to Frydays a few times and they never disappoint. The chips are tasty but not greasy. The prices are good for the sheer amount you get. The batter is superb, light and crunchy. You can get onions in vinegar to go with your chips! The place is clean, and the staff can't do enough for you. They make it a lovely place to eat. The only days it's not open are Sunday (all day) and Monday (lunchtimes) so there's a fair chance that they will be open when you get there. I hope to visit again soon.

I looked at reviews from various websites and this seemed to be the 2nd best in the area after Furness Vale but that closed ridiculously early and I was here to watch my beloved Darlington FC thrash New Mills 5-1 in a Monday night match, so needed food before the game. Was pleased to see they cook fish by order but when I came to eat it although the batter was v good the fish was thin and very dry. Chips were good. Not a patch on West Yorks chippies such as Murgatroyds and the 5x Wetherby Whalers, so worthy of only 3 out of 5 and it might easily have been only 2.

New to the area and on moving day, there was NO way that we were cooking!Fry Days to the rescue - cheese pie, chips and gravy, on take out - absolutely not had better since I moved back up north!!

Fridays is a great chippy to eat in or take away, fantastic chips, the team are very helpful, great service and plenty of choiceif your just passing well worth it! plus a good sized carpark at rear.

The aroma outside tells you you're in for a treat!Friendly, efficient staff and I walked out with some of the tastiest fish and chips I've ever eaten. We won't be having chippy teas anywhere else now we've found Frydays. Thanks for a great supper.

Have just been to Frydays the first time for ages, we don't really do takeaways very often but decided we would treat ourselves as we have been busy all day.The Fish and Chips didn't disappoint at all, they were delicious, the Mushy Peas were really good which is a real compliment as I personally don't like mushy peas but they were very tasty and would certainly have them again. We didn't eat in as we don't live far away, but I am sure everything would have been fine too. If you are a visitor to Whaley Bridge you certainly must try Frydays either by eating in and as a takeway. Well done to Tracy, Denis and staff, here's to the next time.

your tea cooked for you - how good is that? and a choice of daily papers, oh, and someone washes up after you. what more could I want?

This is a family run chip shop. Tracey & Dennis are very friendly. The food is delicious. A lot of trouble goes into ensuring that the food served is too a high standard. It is very clean. Home from Home.

Lovely fish and chips bought whilst on holiday in the area, not too greasy, good fish and good service

Great place for takeaway or eating in. This is a Friday treat after a long hard week. The staff are very friendly and helpful. You will have to queue on a Friday night but well worth it. Don't go any where else. ......."...................

Frydays is Whaley Bridge is the best English chip shop around for miles, You can always tell a good chip shop when there's a queue and at Frydays there invariably is.Chips are delicious, fish is cooked fresh to order, Lots of variety to order etc. I wouldn't go elsewhere.

Simply the best fish and chips in the area. We don't go anywhere else. We also use them for parties as they have a mobile chippy van. Excellent. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

We 'eat in' at Frydays every couple of weeks or so, and enjoy the food immensely. Fish and chips is a simple meal, but it's rare for it be cooked this well. The owners, Dennis and Tracy, take real pride in what they do. They also have a 'chip shop in a van' which they take to events. From the van, they provided the catering at our wedding party in our garden a couple of years ago, and people still comment on how good it was. Very highly recommended!

This is a "must" visit Chip shop in Whaley Bridge. Prices are resonable, kids menu available and the service is fab from the girls! Great food and tastes amazing every time we go in! There is an option to eat indoors as well if you fancy even a extra treat!Great stuff guys keep it up! Never been dissapointed yet! :-)

Despite there being several chippys in the Disley and New Mills area, we always go to Frydays for our chippy tea.The fish is delicious - generous portions of soft white fish surrounded in a crunchy mouth watering batter.The mushy peas are the best mushy peas I have ever tasted! Definately choose Frydays for your next chippy tea :)
