George's Tradition in Erewash

A fine fish restaurant, go there for a treat

The best fish and chips in Long Eaton by far. Not even cod scallops that won many awards is coming close to this delightful takeaway. There is dining in area also, you can order takeaway online and just pick it up ready on time or you can wait, when you just pop in, usually walking out wit food within couple of minutes. Portions are generous, and the fish is always fresh and crispy. My one to go without hesitation.

Always come here for fish & chips. Great quality.

The best for miles , I do miles because it's worth it, lovely grub

Sales fish and chips. Average price. Good portions

Very poor service, small portions will not be going again, after years of going.

My god, I have never come across such miserable people in the takeaway, rude, grumpy, they really look as though they don't want to be there.....put me off me chips.

Lovely fish and chips worth every penny.

First visit for a couple of years just as I remembered it on my last visit great chips and service.

Very over-priced and poor value for money. Just paid nearly £6 for a meal that would not feed a child. Chips were greasy and the batter was like mush. A small fish, small & chips with pea's £10.....????!!! That's what I call daylight robbery for a child's portion!

The fish and chip is delicious and very well done.

I Came in and made my order, asked for it all in the box. A young blonde guy started putting peas in a carton, I said no all in the box then he took the funnies anyway while carrying on he said something under his breath I asked what he said he said "you heard" wow I thought I said "sorry you are having a bad day". He was so disrespectful had that tone of voice all the time and that look you know passed me my meal in a bag with one hand in that way and I got home and thought he could do this to the next customer so I rang asking for a manager I got a guy called harry who apologised for him and says that he would have a word and offered me a free meal I just said take him off the front I hope no one gets his bad energy there's enough of that around.

Thank you today to both the server and the manager. We pop in here most Saturdays after the children have been swimming, because the chips are nice and their lunchtime meal deals are sensible in size and cost for a small lunch time dinner. Anyhow, last week there was a problem with some of our food being missing which we didn't discover until we got it home. It wasn't worth the fuel to go back to the shop at the time, but I thought I would mention it today, more to express my disappointment than looking for compensation. Anyhow, I mentioned it to the server, and she asked me if I would like the manageress informing. And without hesitation they rectified the problem as best as could be expected, it being one week later. So I would like to express my thanks for their total commitment to sorting this out, without any quibbling, and to my complete satisfaction. It is customer service like this which encourages me to continue our weekly visits. Thank you.

Lovely fish and chips, would highly recommend.

Always good to sit in and get served

Had delicious fish and chips here. Had the cod, fresh, flaky and soft on the inside and crispy outside. Very quick service and really nice server! Can't fault anything <3

Excellent, highly recommend. Parking can be tricky if busy.

Had a lovely time here today. Staff fabulous, food freshly prepared and delicious. All in all the group of us were very happy & well looked after.

Meal online stated it came with a salad, there was nothing. It said it's a meal, but no drink. The chicken burger was tasteless, chips were okay-ish. Tiny amount of curry sauce. Definitely not worth £9.95 and it went into the bin.

There really is two parts to George's. Takeaway: The chips are a bit hit and miss (sometimes they are ok, other times they are incredible) but the fish is always excellwnt Restaurant: The staff are lovely and the food is always tasty.

Went about 2pm no queue. The fish was lovely as usual but the chips were disappointing I had med size but the box was filled with bits and ends of. Potatoes no actual long chips as expected infact it looked like left over bits and I got the lot! Next time I would like proper chips with my fish please.

Lovely food and friendly staff.

We order online Its ready on time And always Great 😸

Unfortunately gone down hill. Fish was terrible yesterday and half was green & inedible. Might have been unlucky but others in the group felt theirs was not great either!

Just been for carvery one of the best we've ever had

Classic Fish and Chips offers great food. The service, particularly from Josephine, is lovely. A recommended spot for a satisfying meal.

UPDATE 2024 - new year, same garbage (see pics). Trash food, straight in the bin - this was last chance and never again for me now! 0 stars if only it was possible. How the mighty have fallen. You could gaurentee a queue out the door / stood waiting for a table back in the day, now it seems like a soulless outfit. Having worked there 10 something years ago i remember the cabinets being stacked with quality, well cooked items and the place buzzing. Now it’s a bit of a tired and overpriced shadow of it’s former self with some longtime staff seemingly still there stuck in a rut. It’s been a while since sampling the fish, chips and peas and probably the last. Nothing special at all, not well cooked, not fresh. Fish with blown batter and overdone, chips soggy and luke warm, watery peas. Poor lad serving was in no rush either, he would of been getting a massive hurry up in times gone by. Maybe covid and the cost of living killed it off a bit, but that’s no excuse to drop the standards. RIP GEORGE.

Absolutley awful. Used to be the pinnacle of fish and chips. Sad state of affairs now, fish blown to pieces, crap chips and watery flavourless peas. Overpriced as well. I had been avoiding this place for a while due to bad experiences but gave it one last chance and that’s it now, never going back. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.

A proper fish and chip shop. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, the staff is very friendly .

This place has gone downhill fast Awful food, tasteless, not cooked properly Never again Just shows customers used to queue out the door.....not now

Wow that's impressive fish and chips very much enjoyed visit see you soon xxx 10/10

George's fish and chips are amazing and reasonably priced. It was between 11:30 & 12pm when we visited. We were seated straight away as there were only a few people dinning,. Service was prompt and polite. Overall experience was very good. Just a party of 3 or 4 women who spoke so loud that we knew all their business. Nothing to do with the restaurant but it did spoil the atmosphere a little. We will definitely visit the restaurant again.

Consistency is great here. Young servers are polite and attentive.

This chip shop was the worst I come to waiting to be served and they was not interested in serving me was more bothered about doing online orders and telephone all the staff then the walkings asked twice got nothing there plenty of staff there to manged walkings and online walked out after waiting to long and went to a chip shop what was loads better in Sawley

Great food. Always beautifully cooked. Clean eating area and friendly staff.

Had good service, with a lit of laughter. We go often.

Too eager to try and grab your plate while your still finishing your meal. Young girl. 13/10/23. It's not a race. Also very cold in the restaurant as customers were sitting with their coats on.

Always really good food and staff are very helpful

Not been for a while but was surprised they were empty when people are normally quing out the door. Served quickly but felt the cost was high compared to elsewhere but in the past this has always been reflected in the quality of the food. Living less than 10 minutes away we were really dissaponted. The chips didn't tastes fresh and were soft. The fish was overcooked and over battered. Having paid premium price we we not happy which was made worse by one of the 2 curry sauces we had ordered was missing. The curry sauce we did receive was small and bland. Sorry but I am not going ttodo a 20+ minutes round trip for a curry sauce but certainly will not be returning in a hurry. What a shame when they used to be so good. Georges, please put my refund in a charity box.

Chantelle very nice worker Old woman who says twice and not 2 wanted me to pay for 2 when I asked for one Very workers And gave me 10 chips I’m fuming I did eat half the fish

We ate inside the restaurant and everything was wonderful.. Lovely staff and delicious food. You won't be disappointed.

Just been for Fish n Chips here for the first time. Excellent food and very quick service, will be going back very soon. 😀👍

Friendly staff and quick service

Perfect meal, served in good time no complaints!!!!

Pensioner's special great value

Chips were excellent 👌 fish really good and curry sauce to die for. Good meal deals. I had small cod, chips and curry sauce plus can of tango all for just £10.

Absolutely amazing food and service Thankyou 👍

Takeaway gluten-free cod and chips tasted fantastic! (Sundays gluten free option)

We Go Here Very Often. Ellen Jo & The Rest Of The Staff Are Great Soon As You Walk It You Are Welcomed With A Cheery Smile & Made Very Welcome & As For The Meals Nothing Is Too Much Bother Really Tasty 1000% Just Tell Them Tony With A Pony Sent You. Really Really Lovely To Eat Here The Review Is For Georgia's Tradition In Long Eaton Opposite West Park...

Over the years we have eaten at a few George’s take aways. We recently moved up Long Eaton and have tried this one 3 times. There won’t be a 4th. By far the worst George’s we have encountered. Stale overcooked chips, poor quality fish and grumpy staff who clearly do not want to be there on all 3 occasions. Truly dreadful and with the Cods Scallops just down the road I know where we will go in future.

Tasty food. Traditional. Good portions.

Over priced massively. Foods okay but can be greasy at times. Good service mind and friendly enough

George's Tradition at Long Eaton cook food for both the restaurant and for takeaway, but I couldn't find a separate review form for the takeaway service. The food we bought was to take away. Most of the chips were inedible as they were black. They were also tough. The black chips were obvious on opening the lids of the 3 boxes so it would have been very clear to the server that the chips should have been replaced. Very disappointed. If I'd been given these in the restaurant, I would have sent them back, but not so easy to do when you've sat down with the family to eat lunch. Won't be going back. No photos as writing a review was an after thought and the first time I've ever felt the need to do this. Maybe if anyone else has the same experience, they could upload a photo. There's no incentive for improvement unless enough people complain.

Meals are very good, staff are both friendly and welcoming. Cannot fault it at all. 10 out of 10 .

I asked for 3 goujons they gave me 6!!!! WHOEVER THAT WAS. I LOVE YOU. made my day.

I love George's fish chips and peas 😋 when my son and his family come from Doncaster to see me we always have this and it's always fantastic 👌it's always freshly cooked and hot and my son says there's nothing as good anywhere in Doncaster!

Brilliant place to grab a bite to eat, only negative is my ex works there 🤣

Went here for dinner on a Thursday night, sat down in their small but cosy restaurant area. Staff were friendly and service was quick and easy. Great menu selection, the fish was very good and the chips were amazing. Pricing was good for the portion size, would recommend.

Food is great but getting a bit pricey nowdays

Food was fine, not great but fine.... the service was so slow.... went in for dinner and finished up having supper. Two young lads serving were ridiculously slow... Sunday at 12:20....

This Place Is Not 2 Bad (1) Very Nice Staff ================= (2) Disabled Access Not 2 Bad ============================= (3) Meal Was Lovely =================== (4) Tables Very Sticky Not Cleaned That Good Floor Feels The Sam =============================== (5) Price Is A Bit Steep. ====================== (6) Toilet Disabled Wise Could Be A Lot Better Access Wise ========================== Other Wise Not 2 Bad

Great food, great service and, the food was cheap too, me and my girlfriend ate here and it only costed £15 for the both of us! Thats so cheap!

Very nice meal. Could just do with the music being a bit quieter.

Restaurant meal. The staff, service, and food were all excellent and accommodated a late guest with no problems.

Great fish and chips, always good quality. Great restaurant workers aswell!

Too expensive and quality very varied.

Great food but don't understand why it takes 30mins for food to come when seated. The food is right there.

Not bad nice friendly staff food choice poor

Have been about 5 times over 8 years EVERY time have had grit in the chips, very bland tasting fish and chips apart from the grit, but quite oily. Haven't been back.

Bloody cold. Ate with my coat on. Feels like a cafe rather than a chippy

A hidden gem really , been going weekly for many years. Good menu especially fish. Very inexpensive, great waitress Helen who has served us almost every visit . Exceptionally welcoming and great atmosphere .

Really good food. Can order online, at the counter or dine in.

My wife and I were the only ones in the restaurant fronm start to finish, very quiet. Excellent.

Absolutely delicious. Stumbled upon this place . Beautiful sit in restaurant Had the gorgeous fish and chips ..perfection. T waitress was great & friendly. Place and toilets spoless. Thank you

Food was good and service was good but could have done with more staff on in restaurant

Normally ok - tonight it was simply dreadful and has put me off going again. 30 min waiting with only 2 people in front - tiny portions of very poor food some of which did not taste good and 3 mistakes on the order - no apology or effort to correct! Very disappointed

Looking forward to my fish goujons and chips but they were awful. They have always been good in the past but this evening the chips were dried up and the peas had a burnt taste as though they been boiled dry. I certainly won't be going there again

Not bad food but did go at end of the night

Good portion, it was hot and well presented,

They no longer serve wine. They are still using the pandemic as the excuse. My wife tells me that it used to be heaving, that you had to queue to get a table. That was certainly not the case tonight. There were two other tables occupied

We went for fish bite and chips x3 lunch menue, The 3 fish bites were dried up battered minows, at £2.65 each portion. WELL DONE GEORGE. !!! POST COVID BARGAIN !!!!

Excellent service and food, friendly staff.

Bob on. This is the best fish and chips locally

Decent fish and chips, fair prices, friendly service. Be warned though the sit-in menu is a much, much, more reduced version of their takeaway menu. We were surprised to find it lacking many of the things they serve from the takeaway next door.

Best fish and chips ever in Midlands. Very old fashion but the quality never let you down. Have a large cod with curry sauce and mushy peas, a plate of bread and butter, a nice cup of tea. Perfect. The batter is so light and crispy, not oily at all, the fish is very fresh and good quality. We always go there when we want fish and chips.

Gutted the lunchtime specials aren't as cheap as pre covid, but still, can't put a price on quality 😁

Good tradiinal fish and chips . I liked , eating there when I'm local

Disappointed. Super small portions for the price. Fish was salty. Didn't have any chicken pies on a Friday evening.

Very nice food, always hot and open good hours x

Gone down hill the chips were hard and white not be cooked properly yuk!!!!

Awful chips that were basically scraps and the fish was so thin and grey I threw it away. Will never return. Shocking

Not that brilliant, used to be a great chip shop but now the chips seem to be overcooked and the homemade fishcake pretty much the same, last 3 times have been the same so I don't think I'm going to go again.

Food was sub standard luke warm and expensive. I will not going back to this place again

Nice friendly service , felt very welcome .

Very nice food and nice people who work there

We ordered online to pick up later in the day. I arrived a few minutes early and they got my order ready quickly and with no delay. The food was great and the staff were friendly Since this review we come here once a month on a Sunday. Always ordering online in the morning to pick up for lunch. Every single time the experience has been great with food being ready on time and always top quality. I would definitely recommend coming here if you want fish and chips!

Terrible service, asked for peas given beans ,asked Katy 3 times if order correct and was told had peas got home and beans . Returned and told woman then other staff mem er told me to get off her back as new . Left me waiting then asked if I wanted anything else which I replied yes my peas no apology and very rude . Go else where

Really good service and very well run by the mangers .

I can only rate as average based on this week’s experience. I have been a customer for many years but have not visited since before lockdown. I didn’t want to sit on the bench it was stained and very uninvitingly shabby. As were a couple of tables including the one we were sat at with dropped food under the table from previous customers not cleared. I understand that price structure at fish and chip shops is more difficult with overhead costs like oil, fish and cost of fuel so it didn’t surprise me to see on pensioners special an increased price but no bread and butter and a cuppa. Also no explanation as to why you can no longer enjoy an alcoholic drink. Everything felt jaded and as only a couple of tables with customers also no atmosphere. My grandkids enjoyed their food so they were happy enough!! I won’t be rushing back as I think I will try the Cods Scallops first and do a comparison. Come on George’s don’t sit on your laurels let’s see your mojo back .

Very hit and miss. Some times the chips are of a poor quality. Others in the area just as good if not better
