Food was brilliant chips so crispy yet fluffy and moist I cannot stress enough how good the curry sauce was so coconutty yet tangy in all the right places another outstanding factor was the wonderful staff…. I am a bit of an oddball …(so my wife tells me) so I enjoy a battered mars bar and have a guilty pleasure of a pineapple fritter yet restrain myself from the relentless temptation and urges….. would def recommend 👍🏻👍🏻

IT was an Excellent chip shop, not one better for miles......that was my review 3years ago, unfortunately over the last few visits the food has not been good, on more than one occasion the fish has been dry, and the stake pie,as its the only flavour I have,seems to have spent to much time in the food warmer, the base was hard and the meet gravey dry, as far as the chips go I understand that different varieties may may make a difference, but again not the usual standard, it is now a goodish chippy, i'm sad to say i will now travel elsewhere for my chips.

We’ve been going here for 4 years since it opened and it is by far the best fish and chips we have had anywhere, the customer service is outstanding, the staff are very friendly and the food is amazing. We travel 15 miles at least once or twice a month to eat here and they also have a park in front that you can eat on in the summer. We always leave completely satisfied as the portions are perfect and the flavours outstanding. Officially the best fish and chip shop in the Uk.

I recently took my kids to John Dory's Fish and Chips shop for a mid-week meal, and it was a delightful experience. The food was incredibly fresh, and it felt like a step above your regular chippy. The fish was perfectly battered and flaky, while the chips were golden and crispy, just the way they should be. What really stood out was the dining experience. The atmosphere was inviting and comfortable, making it a great spot for families. The staff was friendly, and the service was efficient. They made dining in with kids a breeze. John Dory's strikes a wonderful balance between the traditional charm of a fish and chips shop and a slightly more upscale dining experience. It's the ideal place for a mid-week family meal when you want something a bit special. We'll definitely be returning for more delicious fish and chips soon.

The reviews don't lie; this is the best fish and chips I've ever had, bar none. The batter is light and super crispy, not greasy, prawns and onion rings were delicious too. British cuisine at its finest - a whole table of deep fried beige food. Seriously though, the cod was lovely, a chunky bit of fish cooked to perfection and dining in we had salt and vinegar on the table to drown our meal in at our discretion. Turns out chip shops use a lot more than you think because I just kept adding and adding it ha. This was enough between two and the menu has a lot of options, including various fritters and fish cakes. There are sweets too but we are not brave enough for a battered cookie dough! Parking was tough on a Saturday night but be patient and something will show up!

Was really looking forward to fish and chips after waiting 20 minutes for them could not believe how bad they were, only 1 other person in there on a Saturday tea time when there used to be queues onto the pavement I now know why the fish was inedible texture of cardboard, the batter was rock hard and the black chips hidden under the fish the curry sauce about a table spoon full was tasteless, never again Colin

We've been going to John Dory's for a couple of years now and after another excellent meal, thought it was about time to give a review. In our opinion, the best fish and chips in Loughborough. Not soggy chips, light crispy batter, the fishcakes are homemade and delicious, and the portions are big enough, even for us. 10 out of 10.

Love John Dory’s! A consistently high standard of food and always friendly service whether it is collection or delivery. An extensive range of options for those who want something different to cod & chips (although these are great!). Highly recommend the battered king prawns, squid and monkfish goujons if you want to try something that isn’t on your standard menu. We are lucky to have John Dory’s as our local takeaway.

Staying in the area wanted to check out John Dory after we tried some years ago when they had an eat in area. Yes the prices have increased but that’s something we all have to live with. We found the quality spot on and I must admit the quantity was also excellent. Chips nicely cooked as was the fish. All in all I disagree with some reviewers. I think this place is spot on.

What is a cut of fish? We had not used John Dory’s for a while and was really looking forward to having what we thought were the best fish and chips locally, sadly this is no more. Do not get caught out ordering a cut of cod and chips like we did. I have never been served such a tiny piece of fish, it was also very dry. In actual fact I could say it was more like having batter and chips than fish and chips. Very disappointed that the menu did not state mini (extremely) portion which is what it was. This local chip shop is no longer value for money even allowing for inflation I feel ripped of.

We’ve had fish n chips a few times from John Dory and they’ve been excellent each time. We drive from Barrow Upon Soar to pick them up after our online order and they’re always ready on time. The fish is always cooked well, the batter light and crispy. The chips are so nice not soggy like some other places, I love the mushy peas and tar tar sauce! Our daughter would eat there everyday, fish n chips are her favourite! Parking is a bit of a problem though if the small car park is full. We had to stop for a few minutes parked up the road.

We wanted a large bag of chips, mini fish and fishcake. The Fishcakes are battered, so not pleasant, no mini fish on the menu at all, and you can't have a big bag of chips anymore. The carton of peas you get for £1.50 is enough for one person not three, but your not told it's a standard size. We used to think it was a brilliant chippy, but won't be going back. If they didn't put everything in a box and bag with there name on, they would be able to have a cheaper and much better menu. Very disappointed.

Have been going to John Dory’s for a while, and they probably do fry the best fish and chips locally. They did an amazing job during lockdown etc keeping everyone fed and setting up a new way of working. Unfortunately now the price has been pushed up too far; almost £50 for 3 fish and chips and a couple of sides is fine for a restaurant, but not takeaway. I will be going elsewhere from now on.

I visited this evening (03/03/21) and the quality and portion sizes have significantly reduced. Their explanation on reduced portion sizes was that they were focusing on quality (beg to differ on that one) and increase in their overhead costs (which is fair enough I guess). I won't be going back though which is a shame as it is my local.
