Went to George's for a cheeky fish and chips just before closing. Lucus was an absolute gem and provided excellent customer service! Would highly recommend. If you're being served by Lucas, you'll walk out with a smile on your face.

Can’t believe the difference in quality when ordering for delivery. Took over an hour to come. Everything was cold. Fish was cold and soggy batter. Delivery driver was rude. Not what I expected after paying nearly £20 for fish and chips!

Sent the wrong food, then made me feel like I was lying to them and I made the mistake. In the end they did correct the order but I had to waste time proving I was not lying and it was a mistake on their app. This delayed the process while my food was at home getting colder. Very annoying

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.

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 :))))

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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*

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

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.

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.

Your better off going in the restaurant because everything is freshly fried. Always consistently good.

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.
