JMs Fish and Chip Restaurant in Bassetlaw

We discovered this chippy around November and were hesitant as we saw some negative reviews, only to find that these pertained to previous owners. We bit the bullet and gave it a go and we are delighted we did. The fish is lovely and chips very good. This as a result is our go to chippy. We have bought from here 5 times now and every time it’s been as good as the last. It’s well worth a try

Absolutely fabulous fish and chips! I strongly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Lovely and clean and the service was excellent 💯

We stayed in Retford overnight on our way north so that we could have fish and chips in this restaurant. The fish was large and delicious and the chips and peas were a good accomplement! There was a lot of choice but we came especially for Fish and Chips. John from Dorset

Ordered a delivery of Fish bites which were soggy pizza meal and doner kebab It was pizza and just doner meat No pitta salad or sauce which I asked for in the comments box..Rang to complain They said that's how it comes I checked the wording and it defo said doner kebab I rang them again and she just said I will pass it on. Definitely won't return! Stay clear if you want to enjoy your food!! Waste of £30.

All I ordered was 2 lots of chips and the wait was disappointing communication between staff not good the delivery driver tried his best to hurry the order along. Chips was cold and the curry sauce had to be rewarded in my microwave. Will not be back

I visited today for lunch with my wife and mother in law. We all had fish and chips with peas. We were made to feel very welcome by all the staff and the food was excellent both in terms of taste and quantity. The value for money was very good too. Definitely the best fish and chips we have eaten in a long time. All in all well worth the almost 100 mile round trip from Breedon on the Hill. Thank you. Rod Theaker

Popped in for dinner, had the mega haddock and chips plus curry sauce, bread and butter and a cup of tea, good value for money, good food and great staff

Called in on the off chance on a Friday evening. Got a table and asked if they did fish and salad instead of chips for one of our party, which they were very happy to do. The fish was freshly cooked and of good quality and size. The salad was well presented and those of us who had chips thought they were great. Staff were helpful and polite.

Hungry on way back home from Sheffield, found on google. Delicious fresh food, no problem to do batter free fish. Service with a smile and very fast. Would recommend if you’re in the area or passing through

I’ve never had a bad takeaway before But tonight the cod was cold in the middle And the chips were freezing The owner wasn’t there a young man cooked it I’m so upset because it was always great in the past

We have eaten in the restaurant and ordered fish & chips to take home. The fish is fresh, moist and cooked to order - the restaurant is spotlessly clean and the takeout order is packed in strong boxes for transport. Best of all is the staff, always obliging and friendly.

Excellent fish and chips, eat in or take-away. Reasonably priced and the service is good. All food is freshly cooked.

Delivery of Fish and Chips? perfect, the restaurant is massive, and they are really helpful and friendly. They also serve wine, which is great!

We dropped in for fish and chips. The fish wa cooked to order and it was all delicious. Lovely friendly staff too

Buy one meal get the other half price was an excellent offer. The meal we had was Fish & Chips, bread and butter, pot of tea and a bottle of Merlot. This came to £20.65 - an amazing price. Great customer service and friendly welcome by the owner.

We had haddock and chips it was cooked perfectly with bread and butter mushy peas and cup of tea all only 90pence extra good value meal. Definitely the best fish and chips we have ever had .

My husband and I were told about this restaurant whilst we were in Retford looking for somewhere to have lunch. We found JMs to be extremely clean (5 stars), a warm welcome from Jim and his wife. The nice touch was a glass of cold...

This is the 'plaice' to eat in Retford. Friendly efficient staff are always there to welcome you and be of service. Eat in or take away.

Lovely, fluffy cod, proper fish and chips. Good service and excellent value. Good range of food and alcohol, as well as soft drinks

They also deliver fish and chips, which is amazing, as the quality if top notch. Wonderful family run fish and chip shop, the quality of their food is very good and good competition for the local area. Always able to sit down too, large dining...

Large cod and chips delivered. Fantastic fish with crispy batter with nice chips. Portions great. Friendly service. Beat the crap I had in Scarborough on bank holiday. Would recommend to anyone. Best British fish and chips. Franktastic.

Total waste of money. re heated chips yet not hot! Great if you like to play' hunt the fish' lurking inside naff batter. Don't waste your money.The only half decent thing was the bottle of vinegar.

Great fish and chips, all freshly cooked while you wait and very polite and friendly service. Can choose from extensive menu and eat in ot take away available.

Stopped here on a Saturday evening for take-away cod and chips. The service was friendly and efficient and our order was cooked fresh in under 10 minutes. The fish was really tasty, the batter was excellent and not fatty like you get in some plaices...

Worst fish shop in the world. Chips were old and had a horrible taste, Fish, batter no flavour as the fish, could have had some seasoning. Coffee cold. The young staff were very friendly, But food made me sick. Beyond a joke. Rubbish avoid.

I now live overseas but anytime I come home Dad always gets us a Chippy Tea. Definitely best fish and chips I've ever had. Cooked as you wait. Best Fish & Chip Shop in Retford without a doubt.

Absolutely the best fish and chip for miles. Great price and customer service is excellent. Fish done perfectly. Visit every week now

Best fish and chips in the area. Freshly cooked, always tasty. Parking for take away or restaurant in the pay to park. Not operating in the evening.

An excellent take-away where the fish is cooked to order and is beautiful. The senior staff and owner are very friendly-the junior staff lack personality. But what's new. The only item I have not enjoyed was fish-bites- I have eaten much better when they were...

Went here yesterday evening after picking husband up from the train station. A friend had recommended the place. The premises are basic, but spotless, wooden tables, comfortable chairs. They do handmade pizza but we'd been told about the fish and so both had the haddock....

Wife and I ate here Saturday evening, about 6:30. We were the only people in the restaurant, so no buzz, but the haddock and chips were brilliant. I went for the mega haddock, and they do mean mega! They mega the chips as well, so...

I can see some other reviewers won't agree with me given their ratings of this place, however, i like my chips from a chip shop that traditional greasy taste and with that typical chip shop smell to them! With these i just found them dry,...

Busy, friendly, comfortable, food prepared to order, portions big. What more could you want, as traditional as it gets

I finally gave in and tried jm's again after disappointing fish and chips a few years ago. Fantastic pizza, really good thin base and much tastier than anywhere else in Retford, chips could have been hotter but it was an added bonus to get proper...

The food is amazing for the price, especially as it's usually buy one, get one half price. The staff are lovely and polite. It would be nice if the water they served was filtered as I don't like tap water but that's me rather than...

We live locally in Retford and often enjoy gluten free fish and chips on a Saturday night. Saturday is gluten free day at JM's (as well as serving the usual menu). The fish is beautifully cooked; succulent, tasty and very fresh. I would recommend JM's...

you won't find them here. What you will find is prompt service in clean, comfortable surroundings, at very reasonable prices. I ate here because my car was being fixed nearby, and I'm really pleased to have found the place (definitely no pun intended). The fish...

We travel up to North Notts to see family quite regularly from Leicester and love JMs the staff are always friendly and the fish and chips are cooked fresh on ordering. The batter on the fish is perfect and the fish brilliant white. Do yourself...

One of the best fish and chip shops in Retford. A good takeaway as well as a reasonably priced restaurant.

Tucked away a bit but well worth finding. Super friendly service, freshly cooked food and great prices. The fish & chips are superb, normally have to wait for them to be cooked but it's worth it. Fresh, crisp and hot. If you fancy a pizza...

Now doing Pizza's and without a shadow of a doubt the best I've every had. Some super new toppings not found anywhere else! #foodTastic

Called for a drink in Retford , met a friend who commented if we wanted great fish and chips and sit down to eat try JM,s . We were not dissapointed they were excellent. We had the full Monty with bread and butter and a...

I had seen the advert for gluten free fish and chips and as one of my daughters is Coeliac and therefore can't usually have such luxuries, we decided to try them. We all had the gluten free option even though my husband and I don't...

In my opinion this chip shop has been turning out the most consistent and good value Fish and chips in the 10+ years I have been a customer. Fish & Chip shop how it should b. Thanks for the meal on Friday.

Been here a few time's they have also won a few awards in the passed and thought it best to give them my review. My latest visit was on the 26th February 2014 we went with our grandson after a day out on the park...

I have eaten here many times. Award winning fish and chips are amazing but now they have amazing pizzas on the menu. The service is still top class the pizza was delicious and all this on my doorstep. Keep up the great work. See you...

I live local and have used this chip shop for eat in and takeaway and it has always been the best around by far. Family run with great staff and very clean. My daughter loves fish and chips and when we are in town she...

This must be one of the best places for fish and chips in the Midlands. When I first came here, just over two years ago, I was completely bowled over and so were my companions. I just didn't expect to find fish and chips this...

Eaten here many times. Inside is basic, pine tables and chairs. Staff very friendly, service good. All in price for fish, chips, cuppa and bread. The fish is fantastic. Always fresh and a large portion. Highly recommend their fish bites if you can't face a...

We've eaten twice in the restaurant and both times have been seriously impressed with the welcome, the service and the quality of the food. I agree earlier reviewers' comments about the very attentive service and they obviously understand the needs of little children with high...

Best chip shop in retford. Best food, lovely staff. Nothing is too much trouble. The restaurant is spacious and very clean. I recommend to all

SERVICE I came here with my young kids and other family members. The staff were both very welcoming, friendly and helpful with providing high chairs and even little cups of water for the kids plus crayons and paper to keep them busy. I was very...

We eat here regularly and enjoy each visit.The fish is always a winner! Nothing is ever too much trouble ( my Granny loves the mini fish and they always find the best one for her! ) The service is second to none and the food...
