Robinsons Fish and Chip Shop in Derbyshire Dales

Lovely fish and chips Carol and the staff treat everyone like friends We travel 7 miles and sometimes you have to queue but leave the line at your loss because the food is ace will always support this local business thank you X

I cannot remember, the last time I had such amazing Fish and Chips. Me, Hubby and my Mum thoroughly enjoyed them, thanks so much and we will definitely be returning again very soon. 😁

The best. A shame it it’s not open daily. And a shame it doesn’t do kababs. Open Thu to Sat.

Friendly, quality fish and chips at a price you can afford ! See YouTube video by @everydaysabonus in September 2024 small fish with child’s chips £6.50 more than adequate for a meal 👍

They chip there own potatoes 🥔 so there on to a winner straight away. Most chip shops are hit and miss . This one consitant good fish and chips every time . Well worth the drive from belper.

Beautiful food and a lovely service.

Very nice fish and chips (when it's open)

The BEST fish & chip shop EVER!!!!! My wife makes the best chips in the world using dripping and these are as good as my wife's. Took my daughter & family this time so you now have more happy customers who will be back. Don't bother with the chip shops in Matlock Bath these are so worth the time to get there all of 5 mins. We live at J28 M1 and would go there rather than use my local f & c shops.

Been coming here for fish and chips for many many years. Always good food and fantastic service. Well done Carol and team. Keep up the good work.

I have had reports from a friend (Simon) about how great the food is. Today I got chance to sample large fish and chip. The meal was amazing!! Crinkle cut chip were perfectly cooked and fresh, fish was out of this world. Portion size was perfect for me. The price was a shock. Most places locally this would have cost abou £12 and we got 2 large fish with chips and a fishcake and chips which my partner said was out of this world for £19. Thanks to the staff we will definitely be back.

best chippy iv ever had hands dwn!

A very busy place but well worth the wait.

Best fish and chip shop I've ever been to, been many times and never had a bad experience. Head and shoulders above all the rest.

Best f&chips have had in a long time and I like my f&chips!!

First time to this chip shop but will definitely be returning. Lovely crinkle cut chips and very nice fish. Most chip shops serve hard, dry chips. These are cooked to perfection and are good value for money.

Absolutely amazing food taste lovely and lovely stuff

Been coming to this fish and chip shop since I was little. Really nice food best fish and chips around here. Great service by the lovely staff would highly recommend.

Been coming to this chip shop since I was little. Absolutely love it. Food is so yummy. Always friendly service when I visit. Shame I can't give it more than 5 😊

This is an old-fashioned traditional chippy that takes me back to my younger days . It's a small establishment, no in-house eating takeaway only . Parking can be difficult as the area is very popular with visitors. If you are in the village and fancy a chippy and lucky to find a parking place, you are in for a treat. Lovely ladies giving good service and quality food 👌

ive been going here for years it is the best chippy ive ever been to the quality of the food is 1st class, thats why you will often find a long queue in front of you.

Traditional little chip shop with the tastiest chips. Sadly they don’t always get signal for the card reader so take cash if you can, you won’t be disappointed

Lovely fish and chips with curry sauce. Crinkle chips were lovely and small fish was big. Will return sat in fish pond area to eat.

The worst fish and chips I’ve ever had. Buzzing for this and this is what I got. Asked for a large, what’s large about this. I’m local and this is diabolical. Crinkle cut chips… are you having a laugh??? I’m not at a school canteen. What a joke

Honestly some of the best fish and chips I have ever eaten. Excellent value and lovely friendly staff.

Very friendly excellent fish and chips. Reasonable prices

Great British Fish and Chips. This is a traditional chippy where quality of food and friendliness of staff are paramount. Do visit. You won't be disappointed

Not realising that they would be closing early for Christmas, arrived as the lights were going off and the staff being sent home to enjoy Christmas. Nevertheless, they 'reopened' for us and knocked our three gorgeous fish and chip suppers for us to take away. Fabulous food, fabulous people - wonderful gesture. The spirit of Christmas personified. Love you all, ladies! (and any men who might have been slaving in the back...).

The best fish and chips shop for miles round with good friendly service and lovely food.

This chop shop used to be the place to go, sadly not now! The fish and chips we just had were dreadful. Greasy, luke warm fish with dry, hard bits, poor batter & chips just made from the scrappy bits of the potatoes. Will not be going again and not a patch on other chip shops in the area.

What an absolute pleasure of a visit. Highly recommended this place, food was delicious and service was impeccable.

Had lovely fish & chips from here for lunch today. I've visited this chip shop a lot over the years & there always really nice. Highly recommended 😊

Traditional fish and chips. Crinkle cut chips. Everything is home made or bought locally, great tasting food

Stopped here on our way back to our campsite. Lovely fish and chip shop. Friendly staff. Great portions and very, very tasty. Thoroughly enjoyed eating in the car next to a pond around the corner. Would definitely visit again when we are in the area.

Quality. Never have I/we been disappointed...

Large fish, chips & peas for two people to share, was plenty, couldn't eat all of it. Fish was fresh & light, chips crinkle cut as always, £12, value for money. Staff are so friendly & chatty, & even the other customers joined in conversation. Thank you, can recommend.

Fish and chips are the best for miles a round been going for years , Lovely owners very friendly 👌.

Best chip in Derbyshire. Yum yum 😋

Here on holiday, and went here for some fish and chips. Wow it was the best I've ever had. Will have more before I go home. Well worth a visit.

Lovely local chippy! The chips are amazing! We drive half an hour to come to get these chips! The staff are very friendly and chatty! Staff are really friendly and the prices are good! Cash is preferred but they have got a card machine now but the signal is rubbish! Had fish and chips and batter sausage and chips for £13

Absolutely lovely fish , chips best chip shop in Derbyshire the batter is delish and you get crinkle chips recommend this chip shop

Great food and lovely people, service was great and atmosphere was excellent staff were very friendly,

Fabulous place, lovely friendly staff and great value, delicious fish and chips, my favourite chippie ever!!

Possibly best chip shop in cromford when open there opening times are thurs 5pm to 8pm Friday and Saturday 11am to 8pm you are always greeted with smile and a chat the 3 ladies that run it are excellent service excellent and the chips etc are cooked to perfection deasant prices disabled friendly when in cromford a visit must be had

Greasy chips, greasy batter and a breaded fish cake that had an odd taste of curry. The chips were all smothered in black bits - like they'd been cooked in really old fat that hasn't been changed for yonks. Costly too for a meal that mostly went in the bin. Had we known we were so close to Matlock Bath we'd have gone there instead but this place was recommended in the literature provided by our holiday cottage.

Absolutely lovely fish and chips from Robinsons. They make crinkle cut chips which is an absolute fave for me because it is nostalgic (my late grandma used to make us crinkle cut chips as kids!) Portions are decent, I do think you pay a little more for your meal/get a little less than perhaps other local chippies, but honestly it is so worth it in my opinion!

Lovely people and the best chi ps I've ever had can't wait to go back

Without a doubt the best fish and chips I have ever tasted (and this is coming from a family who ran a chip shop for 60 years). The portion sizes are absolutely perfect -- this isn't a Toby Carvery and you don't need an absolute mountain of food on a tray. They were cooked perfectly! The only criticism is the speed. I don't know how they prep for the 'tea time' customers so I can only comment so far, but we did wait an awfully long time for two trays of chips and gravy. Don't go to Habib's.

Very nice food, the service is disappointing but the food makes up for this, also crinkle cut chips are unique

Great chips and sauce with friendly helpful staff.

Takeaway fish and chips beyond compare.

Crinkle cut chips....... Absolutely delicious...

Lovely fish and chips, sausage, mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce. The fish is cooked perfectly with a light batter. The chips are incredible and the service was fantastic. Thank you

Take out only, but oh my good this place is amazing. Crinkle Chips (yes that’s correct Crinkle Chips! Only place I know that does them ) are amazing and the fish is also. I have never had a bad experience here. Staff are lovely. When ever I am passing and it’s open I will stop for Fish and Chippies! Don’t forget the salt and extra vinegar 😋😋😋 so worth a visit just check they are open. There is canal near by if you wish to sit and eat them.

I really cannot understand where and why people are giving 5 star reviews? I can only conclude that these must be locals that have never bought chips elsewhere. We bought open fish, chips, mushy peas and curry sauce. The chips were soggy, slightly undercooked and greasy. The fish was dry and the batter was too thick and tasteless. We won’t be going back anytime soon. Sorry Cromford, but you need a new chippy. Another point to mention, only cash payments accepted (in this day and age) and only opens 2.5 days a week. What good is that?

What are the opening time.please as been but always shut!

Looked on line for opening Times Thursday 5-8 So made a 25 mile journey only to find them shut no explanation or sign on door Very disappointed Will think twice before I do that again

The worst fish and chips we had ever tasted. Fish large was dry and over cooked under the heaters. The other fish, small was under cooked with. Staff unhelpful!! Would go elsewhere never return. Just to point out as as a former fryer, fish is always cooked to order chips should be fresh and good thick cut.

Been to this fish bar today, we had fish and chips, they was lovely, in fact the best fish and chips I’ve ever had from a chip shop. If in Cromford you must pay a visit.😊😊

Super fish and chips. Freshly cooked, and very friendly service. The benches by the mill pond are a perfect spot to eat on a summer's evening.

Possibly the best fish and chips I've had for a while. Always get haddock and chips but they had cod which I've never been keen on. However this was the best cod and chips I've tasted. Reasonable prices too. Can't fault it and will be back after our walks in the Peak District.

Quick service, great taste, but sadly the portions are tiny for the price!! Ordered a large of everything and was barely enough for one person. Really dissapointed.

Absolutely gorgeous cod & chips, very friendly staff too. Only open Thursday-Saturday but always worth a visit!!

I've been to 42 countries, and eaten fish & chips wherever sells them, but this is the best chippy I've ever been. Top rated. Wish it was open a bit more often, though!

We came today because I wanted to show my boyfriend how amazing the chips are here!! The staff were so lovely and went above and beyond !! Highly recommend but remember it’s cash only!!!❤️

Grate fish and chips travel every week to have them

Best fish and chips around, bar none. Lovely staff, great prices, highly recommended. Many thanks!

Just like Fish and Chip shops used to be. No pizzas or kebabs. Great.

Some of the best chips you can buy

Love the fish it was faultless. Lovely thin crips batter and soft flaky fish. I wasn't sure about the chips qs there were some crinklecut ones and unfortunately not cooked through. I'm sure it was a one off (I hope) will be back for that delicious fish though

Been wanting to come here for ages! Finally got the chance on a weekend away. I adore this place. It’s the very best of what a chippy used to be, and how the food used to taste. And the ladies were just lovely. Can’t wait for the next time!

Always amazing fish and the best crinkle cut chips

Went here today. Been staying in the village and been waiting all week for fish and chips.. (only open Fri /Sat) Well worth the wait.. Matlock bath may be full of fish and chips.... But this is the best in the area.. Crisp batter.. Flakey moist fish and wonderful crinkle chips.. 10/10

What a lovely friendly place. I brought large chips and small fish for £5. There small fish is larger than most chip shops large fish. I couldn't even eat all of the fish. My 2 dogs eat the rest.

Staff very friendly and the food is spot on ,it's definitely one to try

Can't be beaten for a chippy tea.

Best chippy in the area no question. People come from miles around for their food. Opening hours are limited so if your not familiar, check opening times before setting off.

Although the menu is limited what Robinson's offer is cracking. Excellent fried chicken breast & awesome tasty chips. Perfect for a cheeky takeaway whilst away on holiday

Had to wait outside in a small queue but well worth waiting, So yummy fish chips and mushy peas 😋😋😁

Made 40 mile round trip for visit to this chip shop. Had to que which is a good sign and we weren't disappointed. Lovely fish chips and peas (crinkly chips) and very pleasant staff. Highly reccomended

With rave reviews about this being the best fish and chip shop in the village (presumably from people unable to cross the road...), and with it only being open a few days a week, I had high expectations. The staff were lovely and chatty (and quite entertaining!), but I was disappointed by the menu (I've seen a wider selection from a road-side chip van), and found the crinkle-cut chips greasy and soggy, the fish over-battered, and the batter itself crunchy and overcooked. Plus, it was cash only, at the end of a pandemic when everyone has switched to contactless let alone card payment - added to the amateur, CBA vibe of the whole place. Maybe, as some reviewers suggest, the locals get a better deal, if so, good luck to them - we didn't return and found a much better option nearby.

Fantastic fish and chips and the server listened when ask for just a few chips. Brill Dotty

Very nice went there on recommendation while we're camping

Fish was really tasty, felt very fresh. Crinkle cut chips were also well cooked and tasty. Portions were good size and very good value for money. Note this place only accepts cash (and there's only one 'cash machine' in the town at the nearby Post Office which is actually a person, not sure a machine, so depends on if the post office is open).

Lovely fish and chips, fish was very fresh. Staff were also very friendly. Only accepts cash

We called here on Saturday after a lovely day in matlock and matlock bath,We thought waiting for 45mins to be served it had to be incredible...wrong! Unfortunately the chips were greasy and the fish was ok at best it seems if your local you get better treatment.. staff definitely seemed like they didnt want to be there! Not sure if this was an off day or what! If you do go and try this place be prepared for a long wait miserable service ohh and its cash only!

Great very nice fish and chips and value for money two fish and chips and change from £10

A perfect plaice for a fish &chip supper ,lovely friendly staff ,always delicious X

The chip shop was recommended to us and after our visit we would definitely recommend to others. We had to queue but it was well worth the wait. Great portion sizes and beautifully cooked fish. We had fish, chips and mushy peas twice with a sausage for our doggie and it was only £11, absolute bargain! The staff were so lovely too!

Visited on Saturday for fish and chips and took them to cromford wharfe to eat ,been a while since my last visit and the quality was as expected brilliant! This chippy is one half of an institution for me ,the other half being Kaths cafe. Anyone who enters either of these two and expects to pay by card is either blind or ignorant. Long may these two cater for the discerning eaters!

Bloody rude! Ok I didn’t realise it was cash only until the food came out . But the girl was extremely rude and carried on shouting her mouth off as I walked away! They must have many tourists that want to use a card payment! Is it too much for them to say cash only before you get served! Or maybe they have such sad lives that’s how they get their kicks! Extremely peed off!

best fish and chips in the area

Excellent food, excellent service. Only down side is they are not open every day 😒

Friendly staff, fabulous food, if Carlsberg made chip shops............

Absolutely lovely fish and chip shop, tasty chips and the staff are very nice and friendly

Lovely fish n chips and not silly money ,pleasent staff .

A good sized portion of fish and chips at a very reasonable price. A little on the greasy side, but the fish was tasty and I enjoyed the portion of mushy peas on the side. Would happily use this chip shop again if I was in the area.

I have been calling in for my fish and chips now for many years. Must say, for me, they sell the best fish and chips I have ever had. Always a quality product, excellent service.

Cod and Chips. A rare treat as it;s not really very good for me. This was a lovely meal. A little greasy, but I just could stop eating. lovely light batter.

All I can say is 10 out of 10!!!! Fish is as white as snow and they skin the fish. Love it!!

Called in for a quick fish and chip supper whilst on my break during an evening shift with the ambulance service. Served quickly and as always the fish was delicious. This is the best fish and chip shop for miles. Lovely friendly staff too.
