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

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

After a planned visit and walk around Shipley Country Park earlier in the afternoon we had ordered using the click & collect service and collected our order at 5pm. The food was hot, well cooked and tasted fantastic, my only criticism would be that the meals had not been salted as requested when the order was placed. We have used a number of the Georges Tradition shops and have not been disappointed yet!!!!!

Used the click and collect. Arrived on time and collected meal and drove home(3-4 mins). When serving meal found chips and fish of both meals lukewarm. The fish was dried out and the batter tough as though it had been cooked about two hours before. Terrible meal and not worth the £13 that it cost. Will not be back.

I came in today, fancied some chips etc with my family and my 1 year old child.. I used the takeaway part and they said we could eat it next door because our child needed something to eat, after we had sat down and numerous staff coming past us, we started feeding our son his chips and fish goujons which may I add was horrible, I had a staff member come up to me and my family and they said "You can't eat that in here!" without any explanation we was told to up and leave whilst mid feeding my 1 year old. I asked for an explanation on why we couldn't and the reply was "because next door is TAKEAWAY for a reason". (yes she illaburated on the takeaway as if I was stupid, at this point I was annoyed and felt disgusted at the way their staff was speaking to me. So I asked to speak to the manager, the manager came out again unprofessional, didn't introduce his self and just said "what's the problem" after explaining the situation he just let it go through one ear and out the other and again tried telling us we couldn't eat.. By this time we had people staring my little boy was side tracked and my family felt awkward, after explaining that we was in the car and it would've meant us eating in the car and risk of my 1 year old choking. Again he didnt seem bothered. But after me telling him "theirs no respect here, it should be 'customers always right' and I got told we could eat our food in here by your staff member in the takeaway" he understood and allowed us to finish our meals and not do it again. The same staff member who approached us the 1st time rudely, came past us waving all her hair purposely near us and our food. When we eventually finished and left (my son left his food as was too distracted with all the commotion" we walked past the shop back to the car to be given the most nastiest look from the same girl, (black curly hair with blonde at the bottom, and VERY facety.)I will never be using it again, their food was disgusting their gravy is saulty and lumpy their chips were last years chips let alone last weeks.

Not been here for about a year. Has there been a change of staff. Definitely not the same friers. All the chips were bits and over cooked. The large cod had more batter than fish. In all it took 40 minutes from ordering to receiving our meal. Another couple who came in after us had theirs sooner. Admittedly we had ordered a haddock, which we always had before, never took this long. Overall very disappointed.

Why does a chip supper taste so much better in the cafe than after getting it home? Thoroughly enjoyed this as a treat after a hard day with my nearest and dearest. The Hake was wonderful, two portions and light and fluffy. My wife reported the Lemon Sole as excellent too, but rather a lot smaller than my Hake. Can be a touch noisy and echoey due to the hard tiled floors and scrapey chairs and often noisy kids enjoying themselves, but we still regard it as a treat.

George’s chip shop is tucked away just of a road island when you are leaving Ilkeston towards Heanor. It is a traditional chippy serving all that you would expect and has a sit down restaurant attached. I can honestly say the chips are first class and not swimming in grease. The fish is also exceptional and the beat I have had from a traditional chippy. If you have time it’s worth sitting down to have your meal and you can enjoy a bottled beer with it. Nice friendly staff and good clean environment.

Been a few times over the last few months and while the food is usually great one of the girls serving always seems miserable.I won't post her name on here. I don't expect a fanfare as I walk through the door but a friendly smile and a bit of interest in what they are doing wouldn't go a miss. Last time I went in with my 8 year old who was excited to have some chips as a treat I thought the girl serving might have tried to at least be friendly, but no.

To say im disappointed is an understatement. Ive always rated georges but tonight was totally disappointing. I went to fetch haddock chips peas and gravy (at £9.20) the price would be errelevant if the meal was of a good quality. The haddock although smaller than usual was nice and fresh, but the handful of chips underneath were diabolical . Most of them were broken and bitty with alot with black marks (not sure if the were the potato eyes) so you couldnt even pick them out as there would of been no chips left. My mum is in bed after having chemo and really fancied fish and chips, thats the only reason i went to georges, and if i saw what was given i definately wouldnt have excepted them. If you wish to respond, which i doubt you will my email is donna@npta.org.uk . From a very discrunted customer

First of all let me say I'm a bit of a chip connousseur. I remember the delicious chips of Briggs at the top of Notts road. Perfection. George's cannot compare. Are all chips reheated these days? Invariably leathery, hard and lacking crispness. Served by indifferent students. It may be cheap but gone are the days of tasty, fresh, crispy chips. Did i forget to say the chips at Georges i found tainted with a fishy taste. My homemade chips are the best. Perhaps i should open a chippy?

We often have fish and chips from the take away side of Georges Tradition as we live about a mile from the shop. When we had five friends visit and we all fancied fish and chips, it seemed to be a good idea to try the restaurant side of the business, I did phone in advance and reserved a table for the seven of us. When three of our guests were delayed on the M1, I phoned to explain we would be late this was not a problem and when we finally arrived about 45 minutes late our table was waiting for us. Our order was taken very efficiently by the pleasant young waitress and the drinks came out promplty followed not too long after by some really nice fish and chips, Staff were attentive without being 'in your face', portions were adequate to generous and we all agreed that the meal was good. The music playing over the house system was a little loud to allow conversation between all seven of us but was reduced in volume when we requested it to be, Not much more that I can add except to say that in my opinion Georges Tradition in Ilkeston serve the tastiest fish and chips in the area.

We have used the takeaway at Ilkeston on a number of occasions and never been disappointed so we decided to treat ourselves and dine in the restaurant. The menu offering was different to the one at the Belper branch and we struggled at first to decide on dishes due to the limited choice on the lunchtime specials, eventually we ordered and were served our food and various accompaniments at a satisfactory speed, when the food arrived the chips were clean, the mushy peas had a slight tasteful tang to them and the fish courses were extremely tasty...subsequently our plates were emptied, the bill was paid and we left well fed and very happy.

Not all chips are delicious .... these were... the fat must be good and clean. As for the fish, it was cooked perfectly and the batter was so light and crispy it could almost be called tempura. All this served by the most engaging, delightful waitress you could hope for.

Fish & chips is not my kind of meal, so when the occasion arises - I make sure my meal is purchased from the best chippy around!Our purchased meals - all brilliantly presented in individual meal boxes - nice touch.My meal was missing altogether, my friend ended up with a chicken pie (when he'd asked for steak) and for those in the party who were fortunate to have chips - they were cold and dried up.All in all - not good, very average and unless desperate - I won't be going back.Sorry ladies and gents ....Jan Smith

We eat here a lot and have never been let down. The quality of the food and the service has always been great and the lunch time special menu is great value for money.

My Mother and myself were visiting Ilkeston as we were staying local we decided on Thursday to try this fish restaurant for tea. We were seated by a very pleasant young lady who gave us menus to look at and left us to it. It did seem like a little while before she came to take our order, the restaurant wasn't very busy at this time just us and another lady. Once our order was placed, it did seem ages for the food to arrive, I'm not sure if they were waiting on fish to cook or what as no one let us know. Having said all that when the food did arrive it was worth the wait lovely crispy small cod which is by no means scrumpy each which was not greasy and a decent portion of fries( we normally share a portion as neither eats many chips) this size portion was more than enough. I had a round of B&B which was fresh but small order two rounds to make a decent couple of slices of normal bread. As we sat eating the restaurant began to get busier around 6:30ish so a popular place.All in all a very enjoyable meal and would eat here again thanks

I've frequented this fish and chips establishment a number of times now and I must say without a shadow of doubt this is absolutely the best fish and chips I've ever had The staff are friendly the food fantastic and the price is very reasonable You must try the haddock One tiny piece of advice and no way a criticism please use a good quality sea salt in the restaurant

My partner and I have eaten at George's, Ilkeston, every Friday for the last few weeks and found it to be the best for portion size and great value for money!.We have each had the evening special, which has always been hot and well presented to us, and have had a fabulous service by Laura, who has been friendly and welcoming every time. The dining area is modern, clean and bright, and well air conditioned, you wouldn't know it was a "fish & chip shop!"

Many regulars frequent this place so that speaks its own volumes on its own. Very clean restaurant with very friendly staff, who are happy to serve and take pride in what they do. Had a good meal for £7 per head, great value!

Used to call in on a regular basis,however the manager seemed to be untidy and not many management skills so we stopped going,however we were told they had a new manager so we returned,what a difference,this guy and his staff are excellent,it's hard to believe but even the fish and chips tasted better,Georges is definitely back on our list.

Called at George's on Tuesday evening about 5:45 and bought fish and chips although the fish was OK the chips were poor.it seemed to me that they had been warmed up from lunch time as they didn't taste fresh . I always call at this fish and chip shop as normally they are good but I'm this occasion not happy

Visited with my elderly Dad yesterday. Excellent Fish & Chips - what's not to like?! Prompt and polite service, food was hot and exactly what you would expect - and so delicious!!! Geroge's is always our first Fish & Chip choice - whether that be the takeaway or the restaurant (where we were yesterday). Value is great too.

Friday is Fish & Chips day for my Mam & Dad and you cannot get better than Georges. Freshly cooked, ample portion size and a great price, either eat in or take away.

I wanted to review this place as I have always found their fish and chips to be the best. They use quality potatoes for their chips that taste much better than standard fish and chips places. They provide a very good quality fish as well. The only slightly negative point is the chicken pie. I would really enjoy if they did a chicken gravy pie. Apart from that all of their food is of an excellent quality.You have to give it a try!!!

Needed somewhere for a coffee whilst I had a spare 30 mins. I was recommended Higgs Bistro and wasn’t disappointed. This is a great little place with lots of character and awesome staff. This was a place where the service was outstanding and the coffee and food superb . Quaint and cosy. Stop on in

I’ve been here on a number of occasions and the food has been good. However, today the quiche that I ordered was virtually inedible. The pastry was raw and the filling was scant. When I drew this to the waitresses attention, she was disinterested and offered no explanation. The menu has been pared down, which is fine, but the quality of the food needs to be maintained. So disappointing.
