Georges Tradition fish and chips in Erewash

Cheap as chips, nice little lunch menu, goes down a treat x

Lovely hot food delivered quickly by a very nice man thankyou

Not the best chippy I've ever been to but did the job. I had fish, chips, peas, curry sauce and a scallop and I think it was about £13. Very reasonably priced, would just prefer my fish cooked to order.

Got some of the food I ordered. The server clearly wasn’t paying attention. Waste of time

Went in on Sunday 22/9, was served by the sweetest lad ever, said his name was Lucas on the receipt. Hands down one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had in this place will definitely be going back next Sunday. Incredibly helpful with the gluten free options too as I was unsure on what to get. Thank you :))))

What’s happened to George’s chippy now way to expensive and very small portion size the chips are terrible now and the fish is a rip off way to small for the price there’s no fish only the thinnest bit of fish it’s all batter absolute Rip Off !!

Fish cake burnt on the bottom and dry as though been left under hot light for a long time, chips were nowhere near standard as used to be and greasy, only decent thing was mushy peas, value to go larger definitely not worth what you got , very disappointing

Had the large cod with chips peas and gravy. Fish/peas/gravy very good and hot. Chips were awful. Thin and congealed with lots of black bits.

Been here today 25/08/24 Absolutely amazing lovely staff lovely food even gave my dog sausages for free which you don't in alot of places.a little bit more expensive than other chip shops but you get what you pay it was well worth the money. Will be definitely returning .

Ordered a large fish, had to ask the guy serving if it was a large because it was so small. Over £10 for a medium sized fish at best. Absolute joke. The fish shop clearly chopping off fish to sell as goujons. Won't be going back because you're asking. To get robbed.

My old age pensioner mum was sat there waiting nearly 2 hours!! Rubbish service just kept waiting and having time out back tried over 29 time to contact them at the shop always engaged

I've been here regularly for years, but unfortunately portions seem to be smaller at lunch time than at evening. Yet prices are the same. I could literally see the bottom of the bare box before I'd started eating. Paying over £5 for 2 small handful of chips and 2 gourjon's isn't really encouraging me to continue my custom here. May have to take my custom to Andy's fish bar at langley mill and get my moneys worth.

Im not sure how you can justify charging the same price when there is a clear difference in portion size from lunch time to evening, it's actually quite shocking to see the difference. As another local business we use the chip shop as a weekly team treat. Which we will probably be finding somewhere else.

Nice staff ask all the right questions

Worst chip shop chips I've ever had. After the first visit I gave the benefit of the doubt but after the second visit, I won't be back. Avoid.

Always fresh and tasty, speedy service

delivery time kept increasing and food is now cold

So disappointed, crunchy mushy peas were inedible, fish was dry, the chips were okay but didnt feel like a large for the price. Can't recommend.

Fish was alright but for £18 id expected more than half scoop of chips last time I'll order from here back to captain kirk much better and large portions

Driver was very good and well mannered. food was brilliant

Arrived still hot. Rang for tartar sauce which they added free and f charge.

glad it came early, we were hungry. it was delicious as usual

Arrived cold. Not really impressed for the price. Big let down.

The best cod and chips I've had in years. Perfection on a plate.

Quality of chips has gone downhill. Keep getting plates of scraps. Dry and taste old. After years of supporting them it's time to go elsewhere

Enjoyed the food and delivery was good

George's used to be one on the best around. The chips were cleary warm-ups, my partners pie was cold in the middle. She took it back and they just popped one in the microwave. When her meal was replaced it had what looked like clothing fibres amongst the food. All round a pretty rough meal, not worth the money and we certainly won't come back.

I’m happy they do batter without milk. And the food is good.

Popped in for take away top quality food

We visited the restaurant today and had a lovely fish and chip meal with excellent service. The only downside is that the menus are on grubby paper, have tried to email but for some reason it will not let me send, have tried 5 times. All I wanted to ask was, why can the sheets not be laminated so that they can be hygienically sprayed and cleaned.

Can be hit and miss depending on the time but the staff are lovely

Best chippy in ilkeston. However the competition is thin. Its just been newly kitted out. The lunchtimes specials are good value. I do like the addition of the mushy pea fritters. Homemade fish cakes not as good as they used to be, neither are the chips. However since my last review, I have noticed a definite sharp improvement. I went in before close a couple weeks back. To my delight, the last fish was still fresh and perfectly cooked. I haven't had a soggy chip in weeks. Im thrilled as theres nothing worse than a soggy chip. Curry seems to have changed mind you. A bit thin and lacking flavour. Peas have improved in my opinion. Perhaps it's just me. Thankyou George's ilkeston team for your approach. You are always extremely polite and welcoming. Apart from one young lady who never seems the have a please for my hard earned cash that pays her wages. Sorry but that's a pet hate of mine especially in the world we live in today where manners seem to be excluded from service. I work in a service industry and wouldn't dream of asking for payment without manners. It's wrong on a number of levels. Nevertheless you all do a fantastic service and I am so pleased you have made such improvements in such short time period. Thanks for listening. Very close to a 5*

Very nice, as usual. Good good at reasonable prices. Staff very helpful also

Orders the same meal twice came in 2 different size boxes, food was cold and over priced, staff are incompetent.

Great quality fish and chips all served with a smile.

Absolutely stunning fish and chips and super value for money.

Bought 2 x fish and chips, both fish were dry and overcooked also the batter was soggy. Chips were okay but nothing brilliant won’t be buying again anytime soon sorry.

Our fave chippy, always really nice and staff are friendly. Little bit on the pricier side so make sure you look at the meal deals, but well worth it!

Food quality and portion size going down, as now no competition

Top quality chips as to be expected

I've been a customer for years, never disappointed.

Went in today for 2 x large fish and chip one with pea one with gravy and two large sausages £26. Size portions were very small and not worth the money. Will not be going again.

This chip shop used to be good, but now its gone downhill, the quality of the food is not great, and has got very expensive.

Overpriced, overcooked really disappointed ☹️

Great traditional fish and chips. Good Choice of fish too.

Best fish I have ever had .. love it !

Absolutely awesome. Loved the food. Fresh fish for sure. Batter absolutely perfect light and crispy. Service excellent. Best fish and chips for ages. Done how they should be.

Excellent fish and chips..always hot superbly cooked food .

This is one of our favourite chippies.staff are friendly and helpful and food is lovely

We go to this chippy every day for the lunch time deals and to say they have gone up to £2.75 we think you actually got more when it was £1 for the deal thinking of going to another chippy we’re u actually get more for a little more to get enough to feed 2 people I have to buy a chip cob just to make more of the deal so costing twice as much

Lovely chippie. Bit pricey but portions are generous and it's well worth it.

After church on Christmas Eve we decided to go to George’s for supper, having previously checked they were open until 8pm. We arrived at 7.20pm to be greeted with the following statement “it’s only what we’ve got in the cabinet we’re not cooking anymore”. Well we pointed out that with 40 minutes to go until their advertised closing time we expected our order to be meet in full, pointing out that we were ordering what we wanted, and it wouldn’t be wasted food. To face of thunder from the manager that greeted this statement could kill, but she did cook our food and the quality was fine, but there were several customers that either walked away or put up with the situation but weren’t happy. I have tried to resolve this issue with head office but they are still to respond following initially acknowledging my letter, and promising a replay by 16th January 2023. So in conclusion avoid rubbish

Had the share box worth the money

edited to reflect change: Used to be decent, and decent prices, however now I would say it's small portions for a high price, with a lot of the time the chips being bottom scrappy bits that are no potato and all skin. The homemade fishcakes still remain amazing, but sadly I think the quality and quantity to value no longer matches up.

Always nice and good portions for the prices. Best peas around!!, Polite staff, will return.

Still not accepting the George Cards or giving out points? Had sausage, chips and curry sauce X3 loads of chips, service good and quick. Only downside is parking, as you're trying to find a space to park with other takeaways close by. No good at peak times.

Ordered via their app.Ready to collect at exactlythe agreed time, no waiting, no fuss. And food as good as ever Sharer box is great value. Easily enough for three or four

Takeaway and sit in options. The seating area is well kept. Music was a bit of a ‘80s flashback though. Service fast and friendly. Good classic tasting chips and pies.

The best fish and chips, bar none. Update, still good today.

Good chip shop, salt and vinegar free, but 85p for a small pot of red sauce, get a grip can buy a bottle for that, most chip shops have free sauce 🙄

Although George's has a good reputation, the portion sizes have drastically been reduced, the prices have really got bad and in my opinion not value for money.

Great food, quick service, well presented staff, clean environment. Everything good A++++

Very very disappointed!! Always use George’s as they are usually good but found this time that prices have increased whilst portions have gotten smaller also all the chips ( probably only got 15/20 in total !) were rock hard and contained no potato due to being over cooked . Gone extremely down hill !

Nice food and nice staff. I am a regular customer, best in the area.

Always a hit with me, I've yet to find another local to me that delivers on taste and portion size again and again. The staff are always amazing, so lovely through and through. Why go anywhere else when you already found a consistent 5 stars every time. xxx

Had a takeaway last night ..1st time since it has been under new ownership ...it was awful the batter is hard and no fish inside it ! Nothing like it used to be ..will not be going back ..so dissapointing

Just purchase possibly the worse fish and chip that I have ever had. Total disgrace. This chain used to be the go to place. Never again

Just had a meal from George's Ilkeston normally we have a tasty fresh meal unfortunately the standard was far from usual very disappointed haddock not fresh food like warm they need to up their game

Can't go wrong with a nice George's

Friendly enough. Chips were hot. It's good.

Take away fish and chips very well presented and kept warm until I arrived at Victora Park.

Good food. Just what you'd expect from a chippy.

Wow, way overpriced paid £15 for a sit in at the Ilkeston branch. Sausage and chips twice a pot of gravy ,a fruitshoot and an ice-cream for my granddaughter. The room was cold kept our coats on. We won't be going back there in a hurry. Very disappointed. !!!!!!!!

Just called in a George's. Normally lovely (on a Saturday afternoon), but called in tonight at 8.35pm. We were told that the shop was due to close at 9.00pm and that the only things available we're in the heatered counter. No issues for us, as they had we wanted. We had a large fish meal with peas and large chips, small gravy and peas and 2 x cans of pepsi. £19.45! When we got home everything was cold and the fish was like it had been there all day if not the day before. Gutted. Poor effort George's.

Great - as always. For taste, freshness, service and cleanliness of surrounding. If you haven't tried George's you should. If you have you'll know just what I mean.

Your better off going in the restaurant because everything is freshly fried. Always consistently good. Pensioners special Really good quality fish and chips freshly fried just before they reach your table served with peas or curry . Coffee or tea For just over £7.90 you can't beat it for value. For a larger fish I always go for the Scottish Haddock £10.95 with chips, peas or beans.Served with a wedge of lemon and tartar sauce. Now under new management.

Fish & chips excellent quality and beautifully cooked. Restaurant itself is very clean, but pretty basic and lacks atmosphere. No longer has a drinks licence, so no alcohol served with meals. Would probably just get a takeaway next time.

The food is not what it used to be when it first opened. It is very mass protected and not at all home-cooked anymore. Don't bother with it anymore.

Great staff and its open later than others stores

Fish was sodden with grease making it soggy and chips were undercooked and mushy because of all the oil. The only good part was the curry sauce

Very good food, friendly staff. One of the best chip shops I've been to

Excellent place with friendly staff

Five star hot food: went in today and order traditional cod and chips. Delicious crispy batter with plenty of fish inside cooked to perfection chips hot and order ready straight away. Women who served friendly and efficient. Thank you so much. Great card payment option and plenty of meal deals for family’s couple and singles.

Thank you so much for giving us such delicious meals when we came to celebrate my friends birthday. The cod with chunky chips and salad was fantastic.

Really nice food only problem was food stuck to the paper in the box and that's all I can fault it on

Really nice food. Can sometimes be a little stingy with the chips even when ordering large. But very tasty Update: downgraded to 3 stars due to the portions getting smaller still

Went yesterday evening seems like alot of new staff items was missing from the order and the fish they gave me was overcooked.

Standard dropped over last couple of years and yet prices have risen. No longer a regular customer

Excellent service and food. Thankyou.

Expensive, Pie was luke warm and chips there were few. The over the top packaging just dresses up the disappointment inside. I will be sticking with the traditional local chipy in future.

Been a very happy George's Ilkeston customer for over 10 years. Never had a bad meal. Best fish in the country, batter always crispy and never soggy.

Very poor portions compared to other chip shops.

Lovely fish and chips at George's.you cannot go wrong.

Nice and clean very polite staff

No queue. Fast efficient service and lovely fish and chips.

Just got 2 fish and chips it's was absolutely rubbish fish was dry and like rubber and chips will what can say will not be going there again it's twice now so off somewhere else

Visiting this restaurant I expected a good experience but found myself wishing I'd not made the effort. Tried the scampi and it arrived overcooked and the salad was very dumped in bowl type. Chips OK but this place is meant to be a cut above the rest but not when I visited. I think it was just lazy waiting and even when the order was incorrect the server said we had ordered what she brought instead of dealing with this better and correcting her mistake as we watched her take the order down so we know it wasn't our mistake. I sadly can't recommend going to this place as you pay good money for the meal and drinks and get poor return. Very disappointing.

Had a lovely family lunch, with the dog as well. Never disappointed when we visit. We were there so long, our dinners had settled and we made room for the puddings. 😋 Delicious. Well done Thorn Tree.

Clean and fresh chip shop. Had battered sausage and chips, absolutely delicious. Never had any complaints about the food or service.

Good food and good quality service
