George's Tradition in Derby

After a lay off from George’s Allestree for around 6 months or more due to cold food I thought I would give it another chance. Never again, food was cold again, so that’s that.

Only called in for a takeaway tonight but omg it takes forever such slow service waited 45 mins . Always used George’s and it’s always been lovely but tbh just lately it’s so slow . It’s a takeaway chippy fgs just fed up of waiting so long .

We always order the takeaway online, which can be a bit awkward but it saves waiting outside (covid rules) as we are 10 mins away by car. We have had some nice meals here, sat either in the restaurant, the outside seating area or, like today, in the car. The last time we visited we said mmmm..not too good but will try them again and hence two weeks later we were again very disappointed with the quality of the food. How an experienced fish-fryer can dispence half cooked food I don't know. Surely, the very basics are to have lovely crisp batter and firm well cooked chips? Today the fish itself was ok but the batter was unedible. It was so soggy it scraped away from the top of the fish and stuck doggedly to the chips languishing below like wall-paper paste. The chips themselves needed another five minutes at least in the fryer in my opinion. We should have taken them straight back really to complain but didn't fancy face to face confrontation..hence Tripadvisor and maybe the powers that be will read this and get something better organised for the future.

Just returned from our favourite restaurant. We were apprehensive following a disastrous visit to an Indian restaurant last week which was not Covid safe. George's couldn't be more different. More than adequate social distancing. Clearly marked one way system and all touch services disinfected between diners. We felt very safe. The food was excellent too. Well done everyone at George's. Shame not everyone is as committed to customer safety. Thank you. Xx

Placed phone order for 17:30, got there at 17:25 and a couple minutes later saw a bag placed on the side. Thought to myself, they would surely call out a phone order. Overheard one of the servers ask a colleague about the bag and he said ‘just leave it, don’t worry about it’ Was served at 17:36, asked how long it had been sat there and was told ‘not long, only 5 min’ then the same colleague that said don’t worry about it said ‘I’ve just put it up there’. Yeah you might be busy but lying to customers and not apologising for the wait, the confusion, not calling out the phone order? Utterly shambolic service. Spent £25 after all that, never again, waste of money.

Nice and warm (it was a chilly night). Staff were attentive and generally excellent. Fish was obviously freshly cooked. Chips tasted nice and potato-y. cooked.Chiptatasted

Yum yum on sunday battered gluten free but great of the week you can have steamed fish in the restaurant. The chips are always gluten free.

Visited the take away on Friday had fish gougejons had go back different sizes not much fish inside seem quality dropping of price in crease as well not value for money now

Two weeks ago I picked up a takeaway of haddock and chips plus a child's meal deal I was shocked when I saw the size of the so called large haddock I phoned to complain as it was the smallest fish I had ever seen and was sure they had made a mistake. I have used this place many times so felt justified in complaining.after a conversation with a manager I was told I would receive a voucher through the post or the manager would deliver it to our address. After two weeks of waiting we have received nothing and heard nothing. Well done George's for looking after your customers.

Had the most fabulous fish and chips here tonight having walked there 2 miles in the rain, arriving to a lovely welcome and then the lovely staff keeping the place open until our taxi back arrived. The staff were all young but SOOOOOO nice. I wish I had taken the name of the young man who served us because he was quite the nicest young man ever. Highly recommended.

Called today for my lunch and left VERY disappointed ☹️ Ordered a special and a side only to find out that I WAS over charged Coming from a different town I find this awful to say the least!! Check the menu next time Haha never!!!!!

George's Chellaston is kinda unique. It's a takeaway chippie but with stylish seating areas with a Seaside theme. Me and the Mrs. are pensioners on a budget and the George's lunch menu prices are so amazing and the food is so consistently fresh and hot that we come here regularly especially as the new Aldi opened, up the road a little. A new Lidl being built across the road from them too. Well done George's, for us two you have consistently hit the mark. 🤔 By the way, Must be hard to keep the floor and toilet continually clean in this wet weather but first impressions and all that! Keep up the good work.

I love Georges chips but the last couple of times at both Long Eaton and Belper the potatoes have obviously had something in them that had made holes and when they've been cut up for chips you can still see them. They are lovely chips but today I ended up leaving half a dozen at L/E. Also, for some reason there, the chips are getting burnt. But having said all that, I love the cardboard boxes for recycling although I wonder why they still have to have plastic forks when you can get wooden ones from most chippys which would recycle much better.

Environment relaxing but tasteful. 'Meet & Greet' manages to combine professional and friendly. Staff - should train all other food outlets of this type. Seriously! Food - superb. And the final frisson of delight for the night - it was exactly the same quality as the last time we visited. Currently starting a petition for a Georges' establishment in all towns in the UK. I do not jest. It is a Mission.

George's fish bar is always fantastic my daughter loves it here the fish is fresh and really tasty the chips are always fresh we really enjoy it here

Called in at Belper. Lived up to usual standard, very good well cooked food hot and enjoyable. Had the pensioner meal and made a chip butty. Lovely

Had three lots of fish and chips. Nice food, freshly cooked. However fish stuck to paper and batter cane off. Nice to get tarter sauce and lemon thrown in.

Hate the place. Dark and dismal. Staff looked bored to death and are not really welcoming. To top everything off, it's expensive considering the portion sizes. There are two other fish & chip shops in Allestree, choose either and you'll get a much better meal.

Terrible, oscuro y poco atractivos. Personal parecía totalmente aburrido y tiró la comida a la envoltura sin cuidado. Es cuando, finalmente, después de una considerable lista de espera. Ni siquiera mencionar los precios, excepto para decir que no era buena relación calidad-precio.

Best fish and chips in area 7 7branches in area Biggest on A 610 from Codnor to Notts on site of old pub Bypassing traffic hairy but eyeliner good

Reservamos una mesa para esta tarde a las 7. 15:00, fuimos recibidos por un hermoso joven y nos invitaron a tomar nuestra mesa aunque llegamos temprano. . . La comida fue presentada. Muy bien, el personal era muy atento y bien informado sobre el menú. £98 para los cuatro de nosotros para una comida de dos platos con bebidas (incluyendo una botella de Pinot Grigio) y dos postres! Excelente relación calidad-precio. . Pero sabíamos que ya habíamos estado antes. . . . seguid trabajo chicos.

Después de todo el bombo dado a George's pensamos en probar el famoso pescado y patatas fritas. Tuvimos que esperar un rato para una mesa, buena selección de menú y un entorno muy limpio. Las patatas fritas eran decepcionados, ya que el duro que había sido hecho antes y los tres de nosotros tuvimos la parte inferior de la cesta chip creo todas las cosas. . No propiamente dicho. patatas fritas. Nada especial y caro.

Really Good Chippy! Chips are nice and crispy on the outside/soft in the middle. Fish is good quality. Prices are about right for usual Fish & Chip Shops.

Encontramos este lugar por casualidad, cuando estábamos muy hambrientos y atrasados a causa de una bodega de la M1. Teníamos resuelto para comer donde podíamos porque era muy tarde, pero el Thorn Tree superó nuestras esperanzas; fue excelente. El pescado y las patatas fritas eran...

Mi pareja y yo visitamos aquí regularmente y nunca he encontrado necesario prerreservar la cima. Asistieron anoche a las 6.15 pm y pedimos mesa para 2. Fue guiada a una mesa muy pequeña en medio del restaurante. Le pregunté si podía haber otra mesa, pero...

Tuvimos otra gran almuerzo aquí ayer. Todo el mundo tenía el bacalao fresco incluyendo 93 años mi padre, cuyo apetito no es lo que solía ser, pero terminó todo. Las patatas fritas estaban entre los mejores que he probado.

My wife and I have frequented this establishment many times, the service is quick and efficient. We tend to have the fish and chips but have also tried the other dishes on offer, all have been of good quality, especially the stake.

Decided to make a return visit to Georges after a disappointing 1st visit. Much improved. Food was absolutely gorgeous, piping hot. Very tasty. Large fish & chips, mushy peas with bread and butter. Lovely filter coffee.Much improved- thank you. I will be back!

Decided to go to thorn tree as we had not been for a while very disappointed , you now have to pay for bread , two small slices £1 Had to look for chips and fish was flat and greasy Two fish and chips glass of wine and a bottle of larger £27 ! Be a long time before we go back

It's hard to go wrong with fish and chips, a staple of the British Menu, the UK's answer to America's hamburger and french fries. We know how to show it to those old colonies. Now not to say that fast food or take away food isn't great but if it's fish and chip night in your house you cannot go wrong with Georges Tradition.These are the nearest to vintage fish and chips as you can get. Fresh cooked, really tasty and at some of the takeaways lemon and tartar sauce is offered to accompany the already delightful fish. It's not just that these guys make great fish and chips, they actually thought about it and have improved on the experience. Presentation matters too, they don't just place it into a styrofoam tray with a fork in the top, here you get a card box and fold over top to keep the heat in printed up with Georges logo. A small detail, but one that just adds to the thought process behind the growing brand. Staff have always been friendly and never seem to slow down given how busy this place is all the time! Sit in, takeaway - sneak off and eat in the comfort of your car or pick these up while out walking your dog, either way the number of additional menu options gives you a chance to think outside the box when it comes to fish and chips, but the best bit is what comes in the box when you place your order. A jolly good chip shop!

Visited on 27th December with 12 of my family, kids made a mess we all ordered at once and got hot lovely food together, The team where lovely and attentive and nothing was an issue.would recommend this as a midweek food treat for anyone, especially those with littles ones as they are really relaxed and welcoming.We had Cod, Chips and peas (they had ran out of Haddock)Steak Pies and burgers between us plus drinks and the bill was less than £15 per head.Would recommend!

Was really looking forward to going as the old restaurant and takeaway was always delicious, ordered two cod and chips one with peas and one with curry sauce and a battered sausage and chips with onion gravy, got home and the chips looked like thin over Cooked bitty things was not impressed and they didn't even taste like chippy chips a far cry from the chunky twice cooked chips that are usually delicious, the fish was a little over cooked and there was more batter than cod! Curry sauce was awful a really bitter taste and the battered sausage had a very peppery taste with the barely there batter and the onion gravy tasted far too salty and again over done with pepper, was really dissapointed as spend over £15 on this will not return I'm afraid I will go a little further to Shelton lock, such a shame as George's tradition used to be a place where you new you would get a good tasty meal

Most recent experiences are of Belper & Allestree which continue to deliver to a high level of quality

Excellent service and fabulous fish and chips , we had 2x pensioner specials and 2 small fish and chips which was ample for my husband ,myself and his parents , bread and butter ,tea ,coffee all included in price ,excellent !

Reasonable local fish and chip shop with small restaurant Service slow during our visit and slightly dirty with chips left on floors it's menu not the best

Was gutted when crest of the wave closed in Allenton, but after much research stumbled across George's Tradition in Chellaston, they have the best Fish, Chips and real meat pies on offer and have a take away and restaurant available.They even have a loyalty card that pays 10p for every pound spentUn-usually they are Open 7 days a weekThey also offer (Gluten Free runs the 1st Sunday of every month between 12pm-4pm)

Came here midweek for takeway and ate it on the park as the weather was lovely.We had two fish, two chips and two peas and two drinks for £13 was delicious and not greasy atall.What would be great at the derby location is to have a seating area outside :)

Rob and his team delivered 18 meals on a Friday night to some very hungry ladies on a weekend away. Each meal was labelled, it was delivered hot and on time and the food was delicious. When some of the group wanted some tartar sauce, Rob went back to shop and brought some over. Rob and his team provided first class service and food and we would all recommend George's at Belper every time. Thank you!!

When in the area we try to visit George's Tradition because on previous visits we have never been disappointed. The most recent visit was no exception. The food was freshly cooked and tasted as good as fish and chips used to taste. The staff were courteous and polite. Keep up the good work.

Stopped in today. The food, as usual, was excellent. We've never been disappointed by George's. Sorry they don't have them in Florida, they're one of our first stopping places when we come over.

i was visiting the area by myself and decided to call in for a quick lunch. I had been told that this was an excellent fish and chip restaurant, and I was certainly not disappointed.I opted to sit in the Conservatory and was shown to a table by a very pleasant and efficient young man.I ordered haddock with chips and a glass of juice. the Pineapple juice was brought promptly and served with a smile.there was about a fifteen minute wait, (totally acceptable) for the fish and chips.When the meal came it was delicious. Very fresh, properly cooked fish in a delightful light batter and some well cooked chips accompanied by a small dish of mushy peas. Simple well cooked food at a reasonable price. What more could one ask for at lunch time?My only complaint is that I wish Georges tradition had a similar establishment nearer me in Derby, but perhaps on reflection it is just as well, I might go a bit too often, which certainly would not be too good for my waistline!

Lovely clean, modern restaurant with a traditional feel to it. A charming young man took our order and we were served by a lovely polite and helpful young lady. Staff attitude means a lot when eating out and we were very impressed by the staff at Georges at The Thorn Tree.We had the freshest and tastiest haddock and chips, served with mushy peas and a pot of tartare sauce. Absolutely delicious!Totally full after following that with a chocolate brownie sundae, and my other half thoroughly enjoyef his pineapple sponge and custard.Perfect meal out and we will definitely be back!Visited April 2015

Recently went for a meal at George's Woodlinkin with family. We had not booked a table but seeing as it was not busy, maybe 6 tables being occupied, we were surprised to be told there would be a 15 minute wait - there were only 5 of us and a toddler. After about 20 mins we were taken to the table. Four of our party wanted haddock and chips - only to be told they had no haddock, so we settled for cod. The food was OK, although the fish seemed smaller, so did the portion size. The service was slow. All in all it was just OK, will not be in a hurry to go back again.

We have only ever once been disappointed with Georges Thorn Tree and that was when the power went down. No apology. No suggestion of compensation. No nothing!But the times we have been since it has been back to its usual wonderful standard. The best fish and chips ever, anywhere in Derbyshire.

I visited here by chance as I was working in the area and needed a quick lunch. The fish was so good we started planning our work days so as to be in the area of one of the number of George's chippys around lunch time. The only disappointments are that we are now working too far north and there are none in Wolverhampton!

I used to love the nuggets but they seem to have been cut down in size and don't seem as nice. Chips are a tad greasy.

We have been visiting george's for years, usually no complaints? but recently we have noticed the fish getting thinner, last week my wife pulled the batter top off of her large cod to find hardly any fish inside, ridiculous who wants to eat soggy batter with no fish, we sent it back and we were given another one no problem, the staff have always been superb whenever we have visited, the final straw tonight! 2 large fish and chips to take away, fair looking forward to them, only to be disappointed again? we don't mind batter but to eat it with very little fish inside is horrible, i know times are hard but surely it would be better to have a smaller length of fish that has some volume, something has gone desperately wrong?? sorry i am trying to be constructive, but we shall not be returning again.

On the last two occasions I have got home from the takeaway and found things missing from my order. One meal was missing peas and another was missing the fish goujons entirely. Staff need to spend less time chatting and more time concentrating on what they should be doing. I pass two other chip shops to get to Georges and I don't normally mind waiting while the food is prepared as the quality is usually top quality but I am wasting my time and fuel if you don't get what you ordered and paid for.

Great value for money. Great chips and fish all boxed up very nicely. Really friendly staff too. Def go again

Been here before in the restaurant & thoroughly enjoyed it. This time had a takeaway, fish, chips & peas. Large & small. Was given small for both & minus the peas didn't notice till got home, hardly any chips, haddock was soggy batter very greasy. Dissapointed but hopefully a one off.

This was our first time at Georges, so we did not know what to expect. No worries we were able to pick our own table, the room is large and well set out and the waiter who served us was very polite and professional. After ordering we had to wait about 25 minutes to be served but the food was excellent so it was worth the wait. I have no hesitation in recommending this restaurant, the fish was the best I've had for quite a while.

This listing is the Generic term for Georges Tradition Fish and Chip Restaurants, you will also find each individual shop listed under its own location ie Belper, ilkeston, Allestree etc. TA Help Desk/Review Board have been informed of this but seem unable to take action to correct. If you are reviewing Georges it might be better to use the individual listings, thank you.

Fresh from the kitchen preparation from sauce, chips and fish. free refill of drinks. Large servings of fish and chips. free appetizers while waiting the best chips and fish in UK.

A very clean and friendly restaurant offering succulent fish and chips which are very good value.They do an excellent lunchtime menu which is well priced with good sized portions.

The chips used to be really nice from here, but the last few times I've been, they have not been up to much. I just fancied some chips, so nipped in a hour or so ago as there's not many chip shops open on a sunday, got them home and they where horrible, overcooked and tasteless, they went in the bin, won't be bothering no more, shame really.

Had take away at 9pm on Saturday and everything was bad from the start. Had to wait 20 minutes. 10 minutes into the wait they told us they had no peas in the restaurant or chip shop - offered beans as an alernative. Also they told us the pie had to be microwaved. Got home to eat and the haddock was tiny for a large, tasteless, and the batter just tasted of bi carb soda. Everything was cold apart from the fish, pie was soggy and chips were under quantity and scrag ends. I cant beleive this happened as Georges is usually a reliable chip shop. I have written this review so you dont become complacent. If you close at 9.30pm the foods should be the same quality up until that point. It took 15 minutes. Should have taken 5 mins. Avoid take away.

The second time we visited was later - 7pm (the first was 3pm - a perfect time for availability/swift service, and excellent, well presented and priced tasty food.) The place was very busy & we were advised that a wait of 20 minutes could be expected. We opted to book a table for 8.15pm and returned promptly. We then had to wait a further 20 minutes which was a little disappointing.Once seated the service was ok, but not as good as our first visit. The fish and chips were very good. Hopefully it was just bad timing - we will be back!

Always cab ln taste the difference when its from Georges. Can be over priced but I don't mind paying it because it's worth it.

We love this place normally but last night (Sunday 8th June) was not as good as normal for 2 reasons. 1) 30% of the chips were black in places and 2) the front of house servers were bordering on rude. Shop/regional manager please note.

The food here is lovely, service is fast and friendly and there is great value for money. Well worth a visit

The quality of food is totally dependable, service is always good and it's cheaper than most chippies around.

The fish and chips should be consistent throughout the chain, but they are not. This is one of the weaker establishments. My last two visits were disappointing and I have concerns over the hygiene in the take away area. Staff answering phones and using pens before washing their hands to serve. Chips greasy and undercooked. Overpriced food and going down hill. I did send comments to their head office, but no response. They have lost my custom.

Well situated with easy parking. Pleasant atmosphere and helpful staff. The fish and chips was excellent as was the bottled Real ale.No nonsense place where you get what you pay for and it doesn't break the bank. Very generous loyalty scheme thats worth joining.

We love George's. Good value meals and the food never disappoints, really lovely good ol' fish and chips! The service for both the takeaway and in the restaurant is always friendly and polite.

I went with a group of 20 to Georges at Woodlinkin near Langley Mill for a so-called Christmas meal. The place was devoid of Christmas decorations except for a solitary tree, not even a festive serviette or tablecloth. Anyway, we arrived to be told Georges had "lost our order" - for 20 people! A long delay while that was sorted. The service was slow (the main course would arrive followed by the supposed accompanying vegetables 5 to 10 minutes later instead of both together), the food generally very poor, cold and unappetising. The person who had arranged the meal passed the hat around to tip the staff but very few of our group contributed. But the main protest is that this restaurant will not be visited by us again, a fairly significant loss of 20 persons. And of course many of us will not hesitate to relate our poor experience to others who might have visited Georges of Woodlinkin.

After writing my previous review I had a reply from Georges concerning the issues that I raised. May I say this matter was dealt with promptly and efficiently. we have been back to The Thorn Tree since and we found every thing fine.

We have visited Chellaston and Park Farm Takeaway and the restaurants exceptional good value. Staff brilliant, presentation from the Takeaway is the best we have ever had. I personally prefer GEORGES to any other Takeaway including Harry Ramsdens, Fish is always cooked fresh, it does however get busy but if you want QUALITY you will have to be patient.Special deals are usually on check the webb site

After eating at this restaurant we feel it is going down hill a little. We have always found the staff helpfull. The food is not as it used to be ie: to me the fish does not taste fresh, chips soggy and very greasy may be a while before we visit again. Come on Georges try a little harder.

Always come here every Friday tea time, Never had a bad experience staff & manager always friendly and helpful.

We visited the Chellaston branch in the mid afternoon and were suprised how busy it was.The restuarant section is light and airy with clean toilets.Nevertheless Emily made us welcome and after a short wait to clear a table we were seated.The place was busy and it took a little time for our order to appear but when it did it was very nice indeed. The fish was good and the batter very light. The chips were good and the meal was washed down with an individual pot of tea each.Alcoholic beverages are on sale if you want them and there are extras such as bread and butter etc if you would like them.Overall an excellent experience, posh 'fish and Chips' at a good price.Well recommended

Having seen previous reviews , decided to call into the Allestree branch, ordered three meals agree not the cheapest Fish and Chip shop but the decor and seating are lovely, Food terrible, afternoon about 3.40 store busy with school children but no problem plenty of room, ordered three meals, Food terrible , Chips cold and mainly end of batch with mostly crunchy hard small chips, fish cold and batter soggy, peas more runny than mushy, staff made you feel you had interrupted their day talking and joking , my advise find a traditional Fish Shop pay less and get hot quality food may overall opinion Decor 5* , Food 1* Staff 1* I wont be calling again

We ate here last week and cannot complain about anything really, we have eaten here on many occasions before in the past having both Fish & Chips and also food off the other menu, I think the great thing about Georges is the service and the consistency of the food, always of a high standard, we have taken family here before and they agreed with them saying they are the best fish & chips they have ever had!

Living in Derbyshire, as far from the sea as you can get on this small island of ours, we have a plethora of great fish and chip places to visit.The best of these is Georges. He has two places that I have visited. The Thorn tree pub at Woodlinkin. It has a large conservatory and comfy chairs. Being a pub it serves alcohol if you wish. The shop at Belper has a take away and a restaurant but is on the side of the A6. There is ample parking at or near both establishments. At both places the food is consistently good with light batter, large tasty moist fish, great chips and mushy peas. If you want something other than fish that too is catered for and I'm told are very good. I keep saying I will try something other than fish but it hasn't happened yet.The staff are friendly and helpful whichever restaurant or take away you go to. You come away not only full but satisfied without being bloated. Believe me it is worth a try.

I love these chip shops with a passion . Very hard to find fault with, I go to the Long Eaton and Chilwell one . Amazing Chips every time. Not the cheapest place but you pay for the best quality. I wish they were based all over the Country.

Il locale, situato nello shopping center di Allestree, e' pulito e ben tenuto; qui potrete trovare dell'ottimo e caratteristico fish&cips cucinato in maniera tradizionale e servito a richiesta con fagioli piuttosto che piselli o altre verdure. Se avete bambini potrete scegliere tra una vasta gamma di menu dedicati a loro, tutti con alcune piacevoli sorprese all'interno. L'attenzione per i clienti e' massima ed il personale e' gentile e disponibile. I prezzi sono contenuti e proporzionati alla qualita' del cibo.

Brought a LARGE gluten free fish and chips cost 5.40 I think it was with some mushy peas and the fish was no bigger than my hand dont want to know what the small gluten free fish and chips is like! Gonna stick to king street chippy!

A lovely day, a lovely view and the best fish & chips you will ever have. Not the cheapest but always top notch. I had a business friend with me who was not from our area so i took him to the Thorne tree at Woodlinkin, he was so impressed. I use this restaurant chain on a regular basis as its quality is second to none, and will continue to do so, in fact we were there only last Saturday again with my family. Go and try it you will not be dissappointed...

after having one or two take away meals from here which were excellent quality decided to have a meal in the restaurant the service was excellent left alone till we was ready to order the waitress was there straight away the food was a while arriving but was assured it was on its way everything cooked to order when it arrived it was worth the short wait the food was excellent will recomend it to anybody

I've only been to the Georges in Allestree but they are the best fish and chips anywhere, they're so good that I can't buy fish and chips from anywhere else as they're just not up to the same high standard. They're the only mushy peas I like too!! There are a few comments about the price but they are actually cheaper than my local chip shop and much, much nicer. They're not greasy like a lot of places and it's always fresh and crisp. Worth travelling for! Restaurant is a bit cramped but who cares when the food is that good :-)

There isn't much to say about this. The service is efficient, the staff are friendly and the fish and chips are tasty! Would easily recommend it if you are ever passing through.

If fish and chips is what you fancy then this is the place to go. We have visited many fish and chip ships on our travels for football and this one is excellent. The premises were clean and fresh. The staff are lovely and friendly and the fish and chips were some of the best we have tasted. The fish was not dominated by the batter. All served with a smile from the staff.

We have visited the Chellaston branch of George's tradition chippy with friends and family a number of times (probably too many times!) since it opened about 4 years ago. We have used the take away a few times but we mainly eat in the restaurant area. We always find the food to be of excellent quality and cooked well. The restaurant is nearly always busy and can be a bit loud due to there being no soft furnishings, therefore peoples chatter and chairs moving really echoes around the place. Customer service is overall very good but not consistent which is the only thing we feel let's this chippy down a little bit, however this certainly doesn't stop us keep returning to eat here.

I was on my way home dopwn to London we had been working all day and had not had a chance to stop for something to eat. On our way we stumbled on the Georges Tradtion in Belper, only a small restaurant but great big portions. The Fish had some of the best batter I have ever tasted, around a great bit of cod. I get the impression that this is a very popular place to eat as we arived at five and it was almost full and when we left there was a queue. If you are passing and need somewhere to have food this has to be the plce.

This used to be our favourite fish and chip place and we would go here every Tuesday and Thursday as a take out for the family so we got used to the great taste and excellent custom until recently. A few months ago we were lining up for the chips and noticed the ceiling was leaking and the doors broke. They were having problems and have since redone up the place, I didn't mind too much even the time we arrived and it was closed with the deep fat fryer in the car park being fixed my an engineer. We all have these things go wrong and although we had driven 15 minutes to get there we went for a Chinese instead. However our last visit has well and truely upset me and our family. We arrived as usual in the week for the usual £20 order and instead of the polite boy who normally is serving we had a rude and arrogant new girl. As she was sloppily putting our order together we noticed that she had only put about 15 chips in the trays, my boyfriend asked why she did not give us a proper portion as we had already paid the same price we normally do and she replied "portion sizes have changed, I will get told off if I give you any more." We enquired why the price was the same and that there was no advertising to mention this before we paid and she replied "Nothing I can do." We asked to see the manager and when she saw how little the portion was she immediately told the girl to give us some more. I was appauled by the rudness of the girl serving and her bad attitude and body language. I am also annoyed that we have been paying the same price for the same meals every week for years and to now be told they will cut our portion size with no price difference is not on. Anyway here is my new review now.. I will be driving to another fish and chip bar from now on.

Good fish & chips while not the cheapest you do get very large portions.Its very clean and service is fast.

Last visited in 2012 and were disapointed with the quality of our meal.Called yesterday(13/3) and found that the restaurent had been re-decorated and new tables/chairs enstalled,it looked very nice but we missed the photo's of the various "georges" on the wall.Had a very nice lunch,good service so things would appear to be back to their usual high standard.Will be going again later in the year.

The quality is always excellent - we only have small portions which are more than adequate. The staff are all very friendly and there is a nicde atmosphere. Well visited by many of our friends on the occasions when we feel the need for something comforting.

George's do emphisise how their products are good quality and fresh, which I appreciate. Which is why I won't make a big deal of the slightly higher than expected price. I suppose if its quality then I can't complain. The restaurant inside is great, good service, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Overall a nice place and the fish and chips were crackin'

As promised it was great fish and chips with crispy batter and fresh tasty fish. Lovely fast friendly service and certainly worth the journey when they are priced the same as the others places. Lovely sit in restaurant too.

Wonderfull fresh fish and chips we travel from Derby to Belper just to go to Georges fish bar and have never been dissapointed

Lovely food best fish and chips, very nice staff and great service. The restaurant just had top quality refurb. Excellent all round. Thanks to all at Georges

Georges Belper is the best fish and chip restaurant in Derbyshire. Freshly cooked, with bread and butter and tea, it's a treat!

Just been today. cracking meal. had haddock and chips. waiting staff friendly and polite. excellent service. place has been refurbished to very high standard. prices spot on absolutly no complaints. cant wait for next. visit.

We are regulars at several of George's establishments and can say without exception that this is by far the best chippy in the UK. A bold statement you may think, but until you have tried their mouthwatering menu at both the Thorn Tree and at their newly refurbished Belper restaurant hold your thoughts.I can only say that their gourmet battered plaice is to die for. I am usually not a fan of the bread crumbed efforts that you get in most restaurants even to the point where I thought I didn't really like plaice, but no, at George's the fish is fresh, succulent and tasty.But don't take my word for it, try it for yourself.

Excellent value, consistent high quality, lovely staff. Watch out for the money off deals. Really good battered fish and steamed puddings.

The fish and chips at the belper store resturant were excellent.well worth a visit from the derby area i feel it is the best one out of all the georges resturants i have been to.

I've used the restaurant a couple of times and love the quality of the cod, thick fillets with a great light crispy batter. Chips are thick cut and fluffy.The restaurant seating area has plenty of room with plenty of space between table, so you're not feeling as if you're encroaching on other people spaces - plus there are plenty of larger tables for multiple families and gatherings, but it can feel abit cold though with the stone flooring.There is a decked area out the back, so you can take a pint out - (plenty of choices of beers) and enjoy a good bit of scenery.They also do other meals, Ie, chicken Kiev, roasts etc nowt too fancy but if you walk into a chippy what do you expect.The only down side in my opinion is the take-away, they seem to leave the chips on the heater too long, so they're just past their best - so If it doesn't improve soon - It's gonna have to be the Kingfisher in Codnor as their chips are consitantly better, but i'm sure they cut their fillets with surgical knifes - So chuffin' thin!!!!But anyways Georges is a good chippy, try it....

My mother in law and wife love the fish and chips from Georges but l have to be in the mood for their fare. The sit in section is usually well supported and may time you can see people waiting outside for a table.Parking when going for fish and chips is tight just outside the shop but a huge public car park is situated just behind the premises.

Sampled fish and chips from Ilkeston shop and they were delicious. Staff very attentive and the shop open until 9pm on Sunday evening. Will definately re-visit this estblishment.

Superb freshly cooked fish, extremely attentive staff, best fish and chips in the area.I have been here many times and have never been disappointed in any way.
