Matlock Bath Fish Bar in Derbyshire Dales

Really good fish and chips on a cold, wet and busy night. Nice service - happy to recommend

Do not eat here!! The chips were freezing cold, the gravy had lumps in it and the service was APPALLING! When I approached the proprietor regarding the chips and gravy here merely shrugged and said 'what do you want me to do?' Very rude.

Fantastic service chips 🍟 👌 are the best in matlock

The food really nice and staff is friendly and will definitely be coming back 2nd best chippy I been to

Tasty and fresh Staff friendly and helpful Would recommend

We went down Matlock Bath this afternoon and decided to try somewhere NEW! So as wed always admired the floor in the shop and it looked nice and presentable we thought wed try here. How I wish wed have stuck to the Riverside Chippy over the road! The Greek guy behind the counter was great and really chatty, there was no one else in the shop (should have been a give away) I personally commented on a really small sorry looking peice of fish and asked if that was a small one - He said hed just got some fresh ones out and would give us one of those. This is where things got - ughh - ... the fish was very oily and I thought it was myself at first - but the fish tasted Metalicay and smelt a little off ... as the Girlfriend ate hers, she found the same. We ate the chips which were a little underdone and the peas which were fine, finished our drinks and left. If the guy behind the till hadnt had been so decent Id have asked for a refund. Hate to leave a bad review, but on this occasion I feel it was warrented. EDIT AFTER REPLY: ... Wow Have you been drinking ?? Neither of us "Polished our plate pal" we sat in and were served on polostyrene trays, we didnt have any napkins and the fish was terrible which we both had picked at and left 90% of it. Then to call me a racist ?? You have some serious problems, although reading some of your other reviews, this doesnt seem to be something out of the ordinary for you. Im not entirely sure what you mean by "went out your way to see what the crack was" - but it appears customer service skills have escaped you. Dont worry, we wont be back.

Not busy, the first fish and chips restaurant in Matlock bath that I came across. £6 for a mini fish meal looked very reasonable so I bought it, average size fish, small portion of chips and I went for the curry sauce. I'm not sure if the fish was either cod or haddock, but it tasted ok, better than some I had elsewhere. Later I discovered that all the fish and chips restaurants in the town had the same priced £6 mini fish and chips meal. A sort of cartel?

Excellent food and customer service!

The place (plaice!) was empty. Every other chip shop in Matlock Bath was rammed. Was this an omen? Anxiously we stepped inside to be greeted by a friendly young woman. We ordered cod and chips and scampi and chips. Came to £16. It was piping hot and delicious. Excellent value for money, very clean. Never judge a hook (book) by its cover!

Haddock and chips x 2 today. Lovely and fresh. Good quality chips. Clean inside and lively seaside decor.

Very nice food excellent service

Went into today and the reason for a score of one is not the food that was fine it was the man behind the counter who i assume was the boss and the way spoke to the 2 young girls who were serving. I won't return to give my custom to someone who belittles his staff

Coffee wasn't nice peas where very sloppy chips where dry vinegar was watered down the atmosphere wasn't nice don't waiste your money go down street avoid Update after reply Well has you can see this owner must have a low iq for putting reply like this and has for being a loser the only loser will be you when people stop coming to your chippy cos they see what sort of owner you are rude and low standards of food

Went in to day had chips and fishcake and a coffee the chips ware dry. And the coffee cup was only three quarter full I've heard of cutbacks but this is crazy won't be going here again but I do like the pictures of fish on the floor but try to remember people don't pay for dry chips and short measure drinks UPDATE Thanks for your reply it just shows what sort of business you are A very rude little owner who gives short measure's in every way avoid avoid this fish bar at all cost there's are better one's all down the road don't give your money to this rude little person

I stopped for a quick lunch and was very good I will pop in again wen in matlock..

Great customer service very welcoming, clean facilities. Chips were the best I've had in Matlock (ever) not sure why Matlock has so many terrible chippys. Didn't have fish on this occasion but it looked great. Portions were a little on the smaller side but still plenty to fulfill my appetite, I think we have just got use to huge chip portions.🤷 Best of all the sell Rio! Stuff of god's 🙂 Will be visiting again. (And they had a onsite WC which again seems rare in Matlock, so great place to take kids)

Best fish and chips in Matlock Bath. Everything was fresh and made in spot!!!

Not too busy i thought id pop in for an early lunch last Saturday. Mini fish special i thought cheap and cheerful however i was amazed and delighted to be served fresh chips and fresh fish battered to perfection. Wonderfully tasty ....... turned out to be a real treat with friendly staff and parking right outside. As Arnie would say ..... I'll be back! Brilliant

ordered a cheeseburger meal, the burger itself was absolutely disgusting and the burger was solid…move on to the chips that are served with it wernt throughly cooked properly and to top it off a dead fly found under my chips at the bottom…spoke to staff that are in and no refund no apology all was said it has come through the widows where we are sat that are closed and you can clearly see it was buried under the chips. The staff on this particular day were rude and ive never been met with such unprofessional attitude in my life (1st july 2023)

Amazing customer service amazing food highly recommended

Nice experience and delicious food, but my order was a large fish and in reality it was only half a fish.

Lovely food and polite nice staff

Nice Experience at Matlock Bath Fish Bar. Halal Fish and Chips and Peter was so welcoming and answered my question if the Fish and Chips are halal before I asked him. Went out his away to show the box with Halal certified. Put my mind at ease and the fish and chips were the best if have tasted for a long time. Best Halal option in Matlock Bath.

Was empty when we arrived whilst others were packed. Don't know why as the food was great. Some of the best chips I've had in a while. Will come get again! Thanks 👍

Food is good staff are very helpful and hardworking Value for money

Had to wait approx 10m for 4 jumbo battered sausage and chips for 1 sausage to be missing so they had to give 2 small ones and 1 more to be both burnt and cold! Chips OK but not great, I'll try somewhere else next time I'm in matlock We visited on bank holiday Monday 10th April.

Best fish and chips I have had in matlock for years. Happy service, clean and tidy when eating inside. I also liked that you didn't have to pay extra to eat inside like others.

Fish and chips were okay and curry sauce was worst ever I had, pretty bland! Place need clean up more as food mess on floors.

The food was nice the portions very decent friendly staff but couldn't help but notice who I believe is the owner behind the till/coughing numerous times around the food and not even covering his mouth... Reply to your message... I didn't say coughed on my food I said around the food but this was once my meal was nearly finished. Can't be a hater from witnessing what I saw and saying the food was nice and friendly staff etc Maybe just be a bit more hygiene aware in future.

Portions were tiny, we had fishcake chips and small sausage x2 and it came to £18! Hair in the food, poor service by the male in there, came across as very rude.

Fantastic food at amazing prices. Cooked fresh to order. Friendly staff and lovely clean environment. Minimal indoor seating but a few outside tables as well.

Food is always good love the spam fritters

Great fish and chips, polite staff,

Really tasty food and the girl working there was really helpful and nice

Amazing value, really tasty, well cooked fish, chips and chicken burger. Staff were lovely and very helpful (patient too while we were trying to sort 5 kids orders!)

Lovely little chippy, priced properly and nice scran to boot..

Stopped off on a motorbike ride out had battered sausage and chips very nice and the obligatory can of dandelion and burdock set us up for the rest of the ride quite a reasonable price too

Myself, my friend and our children stopped off here for some dinner after a day at Gulliver's kingdom. One of the cheaper fish and chip shops along the stretch but that doesn't reflect on food or service. My girls were taking ages to decide what they wanted to eat, they stood there waiting very patiently whilst they made their minds up. They eventually decided on chip rolls. An order of the mini fish special, a fishcake, 3 rolls, regular chips came to £10 which I didn't think was too bad. I asked for peas and curry with my fish special and there were no issues in doing that. The chips were good, not overly greasy like some chippies. Decent amount of batter on the fish and a decent size for a mini fish deal. All in all, I would go here again for fish and chips during a day out at Matlock Bath.

Really nice food and good prices

Good value excellent food good service

My wife and myself had chips with a medium haddock, very nice indeed, good sized fish to be honest, would recommend and definitely will return.

Very clean and tidy and the fish was cooked fresh, great food

This fish and chip shop is the best in Matlock Bath. The young man who served us was really customer focused. The decor of the place is lovely and it's really clean. The fish and chips we had were fantastic, cooked to perfection. When in Matlock Bath again we will definitely be calling here.

Fishcake nice. Fish nice. Chips nice. Curry sauce nice. Drinks are cold. Prices are reasonable. Place is comfortable. Toilet is clean. Staff are nice. Exactly what I want from a fish and chip shop.

Delicious food. Very clean and friendly staff.

Always use this chippy when visiting matlock bath ,brought our family( 5 of us ) for dinner here great service very clean we decided sit in had a great meal in lovely place

The fish cake was dry also the sausage was dry too. Staff arguing behind counter as one wanted to go out . Not a pleasant experience at all . Decorations were nice but we will be giving this place a miss in future .

Some of the best fish and chips I've had. The fish bar is also halal so it caters for a broad spectrum of people

Nice tasty fish and chips, amazing experience!!

Great fish and chips 😁 nice and clean and friendly too.

Fish is always fresh! It's my go to chippy in matlock bath.

Halal fish and chip shop Really good price for what you get

Hot tasty fish, but chips rather strange. We couldn't tell why they were different and rubbery. Maybe the oil used? Staff were too busy to ask. Also the bill was expensive so drinks must have cost as much as the food We were not as particular as usual. too tired to make a fuss!

Cooked as you order so really good

Great food. Quick service on a very busy night

Very nice food, good service and really nice staff.

Following a recommendation as a joint family of six we called in for a takeaway 25-09-21 illumination's night, What a delight service was exceptionally friendly and second to none Thank you, will be returning Soon as it was so good

Very friendly service and good food

Good fish n chips, although they batter the fish with the skin on,

Superb Fish and Chips. Good value for money. Plenty of choices. They do Mushy Peas!!

Friendly and fast service. Food very nice and reasonably priced

Really hope my experience was a 1 off and that the member of staff was new. Shocking service. Counter staff were terrible and managed to mess my order up. Food wasn’t great! Update: Following the response from the owner I’m assuming they have been closed down by local authorities since my visit

Good prices and pretty good food

A great place and great fish and chips, our walking and activity attend regularly. Staff very helpful

Lovely fish and chips by the river.

Give it 5stars as I have never eaten there, but google say I did. I parked outside my wife Crossover the road and bought from another fish bar,lol

Nice staff and can eat in or takeaway

The food here is spectacularly good and the staff were lovely. They made our food fresh to order and it was served with a smile.

Great food at affordable costs, excellent customer service by Amir

Really nice fish and chips. Clean and hygienic inside.
