Kedleston Fish Bar in Derby - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Best chippy in Derby, hands down...

Just witnessed the lady manager swearing and being aggressive at another customer. Will not be going back. Been going here for 20 years.

Waited 20 minutes for gravy and chips. Wish I hadn’t bothered. The chips were hard and watery and the gravy was like water. Went as I was working in the area. Won’t be rushing back! Sussex circus the only one for me from now on.

Fish and chips were delicious staff very friendly and quick. I would highly recommend.

Poor quality fish, tasted rubbery and over priced dips 80p for ketchup! Won't be coming back!

Unless you're desperate I'd give it a miss these days Used to come here regularly but the food quality keeps getting worse and the prices keep going up. Chips are pretty bad majority of the time now. I was in there the other night and they charged me more than the listed price on the board by 1.80 and then denied they did so.

Fish and chips horrible . Fish very soggy and bitter because oil hasn’t been changed for ages . Chips dry and crunchy you might break teeth . I hope owner improves . For now not recommending

No need to charge £3 for small bag of chips H

If you're craving fish and chips, Kedleston Fish Bar might catch your eye. However, my recent visit left me with mixed feelings. While the fish was decent, the chips were a letdown. They were disappointingly hard, old, and tasted stale. Consistency seems to be an issue here, both in the quality of the food and possibly in their preparation process. Despite the promising name, my experience fell short of expectations. If they can reel in some fresher ingredients and improve their cooking process, Kedleston Fish Bar could become a go-to spot for seafood lovers. Until then, it might be wise to cast your net elsewhere.

Been going to this place for some time, mostly had good experience however tonight was my last and I left without nothing. They attempted to charge me more than what was written on the menu and when I said they should be charging what is advertised, the guy who runs it had the cheek to say “no I shouldn’t actually, I can charge whatever I want doesn’t matter what it says up there.” Why have it written up there then if you’re going to lie and charge more than advertised? Absolutely awful attitude and they have lost a pretty regular customer here.

My hubby thought he would treat us to fish,chips and curry sauce ,it was awful he ordered cod ,but sure it was haddock and the chips were not chippy chips they looked like you got them out of a bin which you had thrown away the night before ,limp ,hard and flavourless, never again!!

Nearly had a dental bill after these rocks, sorry chips, large fish looked like a goujon, sausage wasn't fit for my dog, owner wasn't around so called to speak to him the next day and make him aware as the food has gradually got worse over the last 6 months, he was rude and defensive saying the chips were due to 'dry season' and any chippy is the same at this time of year.....WILL NEVER ORDER AGAIN

Chips are like rocks. Obviously not fresh didn’t receive 2 items of the order delivery driver was unreal couldn’t find door number even though it was a business name 🤦🏼‍♀️ never ordering again. If you’re thinking about id advise you not to!

Large fish ????? Terrible small thing ! Cost £15 Chips were all bits no potato Not recommended! Should have taken them back

One of the best fish and chips I’ve had for ages, great service too, I’m not usually keen on the chips from fish an chips shops as they tend to be either too dry or too soggy but couldn’t fault these. The cod was really good too.

wow, i’ve bought food from here before and in particular on previous occasions thought it might be a one off for the poor quality chips, but once again I bought regular chips and have to say that they are ‘grim’ to say the least. They are like chips that you had the night before and left them on the plate to clean up the following day, scrappy bits, dry and stale would be a good descriptor. Really quite sad actually since they are in a prime location for folks on the way home to get some grub, but you really are letting yourselves down big style with these dry, tasteless ‘chips’. This is clearly a trend now (i was definitely willing to try a few times especially since it’s on the way home,) but alas I’m done with the place now. You’ve received poor ratings previously as can be seen on your profile and yet you still serve up the ‘cardboard packaging’ I wish you all the best - i really do think you need it.

Great food friendly staff and owner. Great menu with lots to offer .

Just been after being recommended and I have to say, they were the worst chips I’ve ever been served at a chip shop. They were all hard and chewy every single chip, they must have been yesterdays to be that bad, even with the runny peas and gravy on top they were still hard. The battered sausages were nice and fresh. I’m working in the area so didn’t have much time, if I did these would have gone back!

Dried up chips that I’m sure were cooked the evening before. Tiny tasteless fish. Not worth the £20+ we paid for the meal. Not recommended, much better chippies elsewhere in the area!!

Food cold and food missing after taking my order twice and still got it wrong after being a customer for years this will be the last time I come here do not waste your money and then to top it off there phone number don't work so u can't complain without going back

I'm afraid chips disappointed they didn't seem fresh will not be ordering again disappointed 😕

Horrible - chips were soggy and fish was a tiny portion compared to what I've received before. They've raised their prices so it's a no for me.

I moved to Derby 2 years ago and this is my local. I can’t rate them enough! Lovely food and even lovelier people! I often get extra thrown in if I go before closing and they even gave me free chip curry mix when I told them it was for my old lady neighbour friend. Brilliant place brilliant people!

Had a chip butty, small cheap bread cake, chips were soggy and tasted like they had been sat for hours, wasn’t a proper chip shop curry sauce, for £4.70 I expected better

Foolishly ordered again via Deliveroo after vowing to never use this place again. Cold, tiny portions and chips that are all hard bits. Just spent £26 on virtually inedible food. This place used to great but not anymore. Won't be ordering again!!!

Ordered a chicken shish kebab which comes with Pitta and salad. Cost £10 and a 20 minute wait. So I expected something very good. It wasn't good at all. A few withered looking lettuce leaves straight out a bag. No onion , cabbage, cucumber, tomato. Overly spiced chicken. If you can't do a great shish kebab for £10 takeaway then don't offer it. Very disappointed.

Great Stuff. Amazing Food. Good Prices.

Blooming lovely gluten free fish and chips. Delivered piping hot and absolutely delicious. So rare to find this. Well done 👍

Fantastic traditional tasty fish and chips Probably the best in Derby for Takeaway and Delivery very reasonabley priced would definitely recommend

Mum, son and me, strolled down after a few drinks in the jonty. Had fish & chips, ordered them open because we decided to sit in the seated area outside.... same feeling as walking on a beach eating, "did we feel common!?....;"lol

Great chips , very busy ! I had the fish goujons chips and curry sauce, take out . Very reasonably priced , generous goujons, enough chips , did have to wait a while for my order , but got served straight away... The goujons were different, was a few weeks back now , so can't actually remember if the batter was unusual or the fish was a mush ... Very clean ! Recommend.

The food was ok on the whole, but our fish 🐠 was cooked and got put in the warm cabinet as deliveroo men came in and they went to them first, so our fish was over cooked. And we ordered large fish, well I’m not kidding it just about passed as a small piece, so there is no way on earth 🌍 we would go back there!!!!🤬

Never had any problems with the service nor the food.

Ordered a take away to be delivered. BEVER EVER AGAIN DISGUSTING COLD FOOD Not all of the order delivered. Food was really cold chips were so cold and hard they couldn’t be eaten Have bought food and taken it away in the past which has been nice

First attempt at ordering through Uber eats was delivered to the wrong address. Second attempt food stone cold. Not the fault of the shop but Uber eats. There will be no further orders from us .

This is our favourite fish and chip place in Derby. We often go on a Thursday night as I believe that’s gluten free night - and think they may change the oil then? It’s usually amazing (five stars) but didn’t quite live up to the usual taste (hence 4 stars this time).

Damn good food, really friendly staff

Food was nice but the manager was a prick

I ordered a delivery from here early this week. NEVER AGAIN!!! The food was terrible. It was stone cold the chips tasted they had been cooked days ago they were that hard you couldn’t eat, the fish was dried up and hard, ordered diet pepsi and got Pepsi max waited almost an hour for the food to arrive. Complete waste of over £25 However, if you walk in food is lovely Give up the delivery or get it done properly.

You know you're at the right place when the queue is out the door .... Everything is cooked fresh and piping hot. The wait was not excessive either.... Will definitely return

Disgusting I had curry sauce and chips the chips she microwaved and the curry sauce was powdery never be eating from here again

Just got a regular chips was given a level tray not enough to feed a 7 year old nearly £3 for that this place was worth the price but not any more

Greek shisha kebabs are excellent.

This food was bordering on inedible. Chips rock hard mushy peas a kind of brown watery substance. Fish ok but will not be returning

Second time in a month had food from this once amazing fish and chip shop don't know what's gone wrong but will not be using it again. Poor quality!!! chicken tikka kebab meat Fish cake was over cooked r and small chips just awful more like scraps of potatoes, not cheap either cistv£14. 10 with a sausage. Don't know what's gone wrong Happy to pay if edible but had to throw most of it away. Get it back to how it was. Please. Quality goes out the window when you start having the likes of deliveroo uber, just eats, your local customers suffer poor service.

Great customer service women with purple hair really helped me decide what I wanted

Fantastic service, fantastic food. Great all round

My fave place forever. Gluten Free safe too

Great food at a really good price. Great customer service too 👍👍

Once a fine establishment but suffering from inexperienced staff and the waits are seriously ridiculous. I have been served quicker in a Michelin starred restaurant. Seriously need to reconsider my options going forward. Markeaton is far more efficient and always have enough of everything.

Very busy which I think speaks for itself. Quite a wait but that meant food was constantly being freshly cooked. Its a chip shop but as chip shops go the food was very nice and I would go back again.

I've always been here and never had a problem I'd say in the last few months the food is either always good or terrible as one minute it's yummy and then it's not. I've just order tonight which was donner meat with pitta bread and salad the salad looks like it's been there since yesterday the meat is too hard and the pitta is also just the same. Also ordered mayonnaise and its all runny and not even worth it. Will not be coming back as its always the same unless the same people are on but from what I have seen on the reviews there is always new staff every day

Big problem with staff, sorry this is Your problem. Somebody working somebody don't know what needs doing.

I’ve just waited 20 minutes for something that tastes like it was cooked last week. Everything was disgusting. Battered mushrooms were soggy and there was a water explosion when I bit into it, chips tasted and looked days old and dry. Onion rings soggy and wet, curry sauce cold and tasted like powder. This used to be my favourite chip shop. Never going again.

Every time I have fish and chips here I always regret not going to Markeaton Fish + Chips around the corner, it's so much better. The fish and chips are so poor here for the price. Plus I was waiting far too long again, as they are too busy with Deliveroo etc. Friendly young staff though.

Ordered a cod on entry, was cooked a haddock to be told you didn’t have any cod. Settled for pie and chips to be given cold chips so not even getting fresh chips from off even though waiting for fish! In the bin 5 minutes later

Fish and chips were great and quick. Excellent customer service. Definitely recommend

Food was good. Bit of a wait fir our order but it was cooked fresh!

Popular chippy, with good reason. Great food

Disappointed. Food is good, however only 2 stars due to the wait, 35 minutes. Too busy teaching new staff. New staff every week... Old staff busy being busy. Order via a delivery company to be delivered to the shop, you'll get your food sooner than ordering in the shop. Sorry, but won't be back. I'll find somewhere that's appreciates foot fall. Enjoy your online customers

Service outstanding. Gigantic Onion rings and potato fritter was great. I always pop in on way to visit family.

lovely staff! had the most amazing experience. Burger meal it was lovely. Nicely prepared by a really nice boy and would definitely come here again! :)

Ordered a fish and chips and got it very quick and freshly cooked there in front of you and was very nice. Will be returning

Popped in on the way home, ordering was quick and easy, short wait while fish was being cooked fresh, excellent portion size to share and great value.

Foolishly ordered via Deliveroo after vowing to never use this chippy again. I had Doner meat and chips, my Wife had burger and chips. I received 6 tiny strips of Doner meat and a tiny amount of chips for£9.50. My Wife's burger was a tasteless soggy mess, with again just a few hard, bitty chips. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Terrible food don’t get chips or fish from here I’ve watched them re-fry there mini fish to keep them hot 😂 thinking I was going to pay for it once watching them do it also had 3 large chips from here last week and it should of been 1 large chip do your self a faver go to George’s up the road better quality food and better portions this chippy worst in derby

Been using this chippy regularly for 12 years. The food is excellent. Sadly the decision to massively expand the menu and to run the business in what appears to be badly disorganised and always with new staff makes the waiting time unacceptable. Not worth waiting 20 / 30 minutes for fish and chips! Such a shame as the food is excellent but not worth waiting. They only started even cooking my fish after I had stood waiting for twenty minutes. Staff too busy cooking burgers etc and have forgotten this is a fish and chip shop.

Ordered a kebab with chips and was looking forward to it but delivery was in a stapled up Premier carrier bag which totally soaked the box inside and no sauces at all. Threw away half of it. Not a happy customer and will not bother again.

The haddock was cooked fresh and was brilliant

25 minutes for fish and chips. The regular fish was tiny.

Curry Sauce and Chips....The best ever..

Ordered large fish and chips via Deliveroo, when it arrived, we had a small fish and sadly no chips, we called Kedlestone Road and after some initial confusion, the manager and staff were only too happy ro help, turns out if you get an incorrect food delivery via deliveroo, you need to reorder via deliveroo again to get it right, a bit off a faff, but the guys and gal at Kedleston fish bar were amazing and even gave us free drinks! Real stars! Thank you! And they scribbled a little note on the box. And I've got to say the curry sauce is out of this world! Now to start that diet!

Had a fish and a donor cob from here never again the fish was burnt and just all batter and the donor cob was a few bits of meat and bits of tomato used to be brilliant never again

Has it been taken over by new staff/management?? Because it USED to do the best homemade fishcakes, today however, it was spot the fish too much potato and full of woody parsley stalks. Also found several dark hairs trapped in the bottom of chips, gross. Massively overpriced also...never again.

This place is so hit and miss. It's a total gamble as to whether you A) get what you actually ordered or B) get food that's edible. Sometimes you get a decent meal, most of the time you get rushed service and badly cooked, greasy food. Today was another case where half of the chips were a dark brown colour and the rest were almost white. Feels like a mix of yesterdays chips refried with todays. Also ordered a chicken and mushroom pie which was rock hard on top and fridge cold in the middle. Again, pretty sure this was from last night's service, half reheated for today. Don't think I'll be ordering again.

This used to be a good chippy but the quality has really gone downhill. I’ve just bought a small portion of chips, the were stone cold! Unfortunately I only live a few minutes away so it is my local, but I’ll be going elsewhere.

Made to wait if you turn up on foot !!. They’re to busy slinging chips at deliveroo and alike leaving you to wait for a SIMPLE curry and chips 25 mins on several occasions . Waiting for chips in a chippie whilst staff stand about . Then all hands on deck to get deliveries out … oh oh no chips left ?

Dreadful - over priced, small fish & gloopy curry sauce. Never again!

Ordered via Uber Eats, they took the money but didn't deliver- scan

Treated my wife appallingly, never again, ordered, waited for 10 others to be served then server mumbled something about vinegar and then said yeah right probably not anyway then tried to serve the worst looking fish until he got the eyeball. Terrible

Food really good but they cannot get an order correct if ordering more than one meal. Order has been wrong far too many times we are fed up of complaining. Such a shame as you cannot fault the food.

The food is so good here! In fact, it's that good that sometimes they don't have any chicken and mushroom pies left, which makes me sad! The service is mostly great, however, sometimes can be a little slow but then, it can get busy at times. This has got to be my favourite fish and chip shop in Derby!

Says on Google closes at 10pm. Got down there at 925 and the young lad said they closed at 930 as ALL staff were walking out. Very disappointed, especially as it wasn't even 930 and everything was shut down and switched off. Sort it out. Update the times. The place has changed.

Visiting here before and the food was actually ok! Today was a different story Home-made fish cake! Honestly without exaggeration there wasn’t any fish in ours, it was all just potato, Mine also had a hard black thing in it like a stone! The mushy peas were tasteless! Can’t comment on the chips because I didn’t have any! Staff weren’t friendly.

Asked for a chicken burger and was given a chicken burger literally thrown in a a stale wrap. This place is really expensive for what it is, and they can’t even get orders right. Spoke to someone over the phone who said there is an original chicken burger and a chicken burger, hence the word burger. Not a stale wrap.

The best F&C I’ve had. Tried our local places and wasn’t happy. Travel quite a way to get food from here. Fish batter is delicious and the chips are gorgeous - not greasy like inexperience in other places. Food is always fresh when we go....

Sat waiting for basic kebab. Told 10 mins. 20mins. Later after all other food "transporter" companies " been in and out still waiting. Walked out! enjoy my £8.50p Kego fish bar !!! Still waiting for reply!!!

Discreta locale con sufficiente servizio buono il prodotto offerto sia nella qualità che nel prezzo. Forse una rivisitazione estetica sarebbe positiva.

I visited this evening to purchase a meal at 9.20 p.m. I had already checked what time the chip shop closed on Google and it stated 10PM. The staff were rude and uninterested and informed me that they were closing very shortly and only had...

This is my local chippy and what an excellent and friendly place this is. Can be a lengthy queue in the lunch times but again this just goes to show the quality and service this chippy has to offer..

Today I ordered a chips an battered sausage an plain sausage didn't receive any of the sausages just chips on their own then when I called to get this sorted they told me nothing will be sorted out, disgusting behavior rubbish service, wouldn't recommend!!

Best chippy in Derby. Always try and have a visit when back up North 😊

Not great. Waited ages to be acknowledged! Then told can't do fish n chips because fryers off as we close....in 20 mins!!

Best Fish and chips I've had for years, crunchy fish not dripping in sloppy oil, crunchy chips that were not stuck together like a lump of clod, mushy peas with just the right amount of juice, not runny and not a solid dollop. The owner has a sense of humour, her daughters were smiling and laughing to aid a great atmosphere. 💯 %, won't get any better than that, oohh and I had a big sausage in batter and ate it on Markeaton Park. Brilliant.

Always excellent, especially if you treat yourself to a cake as well. You're already scoffing fish n chips, so why not 😄

Always fresh fish and chips Manager and staff very friendly.

Make sure the person who takes your order doesn't get sent for their break before you get your food, you could be waiting a while! Shocking that the manager thinks just shouting that your food is ready is enough, no effort to make sure the...

This fast food shop ticks most of the boxes for the variety and quality. Whether selling cake and every other side plate is a gimmick, is an open question but the optics of a one stop shop for a total meal experience for me achieved it's goal. The parking in this area is quite difficult but despite that, it is worth it once you get your food. It has a good reputation for taste and the portions are to date not skimpy. From what I could see, the place is spotlessly clean and not wanting in that department. How welcoming were the staff? On this occasion once prompted, the front of house took the cue, got into gear and responded. The others milling around in the back had a face like a wet Monday. However, even a Pan Am "smile" by all as a matter of routine will extinguish any doubt. The ambience and decor is very pleasing and the outside street cafe style seating on a sunny day I imagine would be a pleasant experience and it's clear that a lot of thought and expense has gone in to making it work. It's clear that this owner is leaving very little to chance and covering all their bases. Finally the whole reason for my visit was not disappointing as this style of food was quite the best I've had in Derby and is consistent in it's taste and quality. My five star review comes with a caveat. Identify even the smallest area for improvement and address it. Be the best and stay the best. Good luck.

Great fish and chip shop, that do gluten free, even the vinegar is gf which some places forget. Always a queue but worth the wait

Had an amazing experience, got served by an amazing lady called Holly! And the fish and chips are the best I have ever had. And the Kebabs were amazing! Would 100% recommend to everyone!
