Service was friendly, chips had black bits and fish was extremely greasy. Freezing day and the door wide open whilst waiting.

Stepping into the hallowed fryers' domain of this Bakewell fish and chip shop in the Peak District felt like entering the championships of British cuisine. Here, the humble fish cake was elevated to fluffy heights, a masterpiece that would make even the most discerning food critic weep with joy. The mushy peas were a verdant dream, seasoned to perfection, proving once and for all that peas are not just a side dish; they're the main event when done right. The scraps, oh, the scraps! They were as crunchy as autumn leaves underfoot, but infinitely more satisfying. Each bite was a symphony of crunchiness that resonated with the very essence of comfort food. The chips? Imagine the perfect balance between soft and crispy, a culinary tightrope walked with the skill of a seasoned acrobat. But what's a chip without its liquid companions? The gravy was a revelation, a silky river of flavor that elevated the humble potato to new heights. And the fish, fried to a golden perfection, flaky and moist within its crispy armor, was a testament to the art of frying. The curry sauce, a bold contender, held its own with a spicy warmth that hugged the soul. This fish and chip shop didn't just serve food; it served memories, wrapped in paper, each bite a reminder of why British fish and chips are a culinary treasure. In the vast saga of fish and chips, this Bakewell establishment deserves its own chapter, penned with the ink of gravy and the seal of perfect mushy peas.

Chips was dry and lots of bits, fish was dry with no taste, peas had no taste and watered down. The only thing I had eaten that day and finished with bad upset stomach (food poisoning) to expensive too for a small portion.

The worst fish & chips I’ve ever had. Chewy , fish rubbery and dry. Tasteless and greasy. Pricey and top it off , I’ve had upset stomach and have felt quite poorly. Not a good experience

I decided to come here and try out the local chippy, with mixed reviews. I entered and was greeted with a smile, I asked if they did Yorkshire fishcakes and by my surprise they did, however, the scallops was a little undercooked and the fish was quite chewy and crunchy, after finding a bone, it must have been the tail of the fish. Bit was still tasty. I enjoyed the large portion of chips. However, was quite pricey, for chips and a fishcake butty, just under 8 pounds. I definitely would give them another chance.

Stumbled across this place as another one was closed and what I find! 10 out of 10! It was as good as what you get on the coast. We travel up and down the country seeking out great fish n chips and this is one of the best. And we've had a lot of fish n chips... Rick Stein's restaurant should take note.

I'm a veggie, not even a vegan, just veggie. Fish/meat, not for me. All this place can offer is chips and peas. Many other places now realise the age we live in and offer, veggie sausage, or burgers, even battered halloumi! This place doesn't even have cheese pies or potato scallops. Brainless. There may only be a single veggie in a family but they will simply go elsewhere if there is no veggie options. What year are we living in?

The fish and chips are poor and expensive. Greasy, with too much broken up batter. Some chips ok, but over half were brittle. For £ 10.50, best avoid

Worst fish and chips I’ve ever had. Chips were pale and greasy and had absolutely no taste. How do they even manage to do that!! Fish was ok but batter dry and crumbly. Left just about all of mine and not cheap. How can a fish and chip shop survive when they can’t cook fish and chips. I would advise you eat elsewhere.

We visited on Sunday 6th August, ordered 2 lots of Fish, Chips and Peas, they had to be the worst i have ever had, swimming in grease and horrible. The staff were not caring about anything as long as you paid your £23. Yes £23 for 2 takeaway fish, chips and peas. Only ate half and the rest went in the bin, done nothing but vomit since i got home. Obviously will never ever use again.

Although the staff were friendly and the prices are not unusual for a tourist town, the portion of chips I had weren't cooked properly, and the potatoes were obviously very cheap and not prepared with any care, as most were blackened and full of eyes.

Called in on Bank Holiday Monday, the staff were very efficient serving our order which was 2 small cod with chips and another portion of chips & 3 cans of pop. The batter on the fish is probably one of the best batters we’ve ever had it was lovely and crispy no sogginess at all, the chips were nice too and well cooked and not greasy at all. So it’s a thumbs up from us 👍.

My partner ordered whilst I looked after the dog. All seem well as we decided to walk and eat them further down stream on the river beyond the other side of the bridge. Unfortunately the chips were hardly cooked and were only just edible which is a first for me from a chippy. The fish was done very nice and had a good crispy batter but sadly it’s not good enough to get the chips wrong. Luckily the local trout seemed to enjoy the odd hard potato.

I’ve been eating at this chippy roughly twice a month ever since I returned from living in Sweden two years ago, the food was always well cooked pleasantly served and reasonable value. The last three experiences have been less than satisfactory not sure if it’s changed hands but the staff have certainly changed a lot recently, the food has been lack lustre and the new ridiculously small portion sizes have now become nothing less than farcical. Sadly I shall now vote with my feet and try to find a better local fish and chip shop to satisfy my tastes.

I have eaten at some of the finest restaurants in the world and all you can ever ask is that whatever level of food you are eating, it is done to the best standard it can be and this place achieved that in my opinion

My partner took her's back and he couldn't see anything wrong with them, I threw mine in the bin, my cousin with us, on holiday from the USA threw hers in the bin too... we returned to this establishment today after enjoying a previous visit, never again!!.... the food today was awful.

According to information in the shop prices went up due to price increase of peas, oil, flour etc. That’s fair but when you put price up cause peas more expensive it would be good to actually have peas in mushy peas not broad beans. Cod was small, fried in lots of batter. I cannot recommend this place as too expensive for what you get.
