Shelton Lock Fish Bar in Derby

Wow one of the best tasting 😋 chippys around

Best fish and chip shop in derby 😊 Best service Number one 🙂👍

Good food. Staff member was very rude

Friendly service, excellent food. The tastiest chips anywhere, and the homemade fishcakes are terrific! 'Atmosphere' isn't really applicable as there is no eating-in space, but staff are very helpful. Some parking in front of the shop, also on the street.

It's such a shame the staff (a certain woman) are horrible. Rolling her eyes, snarky remarks etc. The food is bang on but she has made me not want to ever go again.

The chicken tikka is really good, best in the midlands. Always come here when am visiting from Leicester.

Best fish & chips for years, pity we live two hours away.

Great friendly people . Excellent service , great food.

Wonderful place , best fish n chips in derby

Amazing friendly service and the food was great 👍

Called in here twice in one week while at work in the area. Absolutely lovely chips and that's important for a chippy because while most other items are the same whichever chippy you visit, the chips being cooked right are what makes it stand out from the rest. I was at first taken aback by the older lady who works there, she came across as a bit rude at first, I asked for curry sauce and when she asked which type, chip shop or Chinese, I replied "oh it's got to be chip shop style" and she mocked me and repeated what I said, which at first I thought was rude but I soon realised she is a tough old leathery boot and that's just her sense of humour, which is fine with me as she reminded me of my Nan's personality. Service is fast, the food is delicious big portions too. I would definitely come back again.

Had a pie special with gravy. Everything was delicious and and great friendly service

A great traditional chippy serving wonderful food. Cod and chips is the best!, with friendly staff, service and cleanliness complimenting the tasty food. 👍 😋

Great food. Best chippy in Derby.

Go to Shelton fish bar every Friday to get fish & chips for my father who is 86 & I’m convinced him having they’re quality food every week is one of the reasons he’s still going strong keep up the good work ,all the staff are fantastic & helpful.

Best chippy in Derby always great food 👌

This is a fish and chip shop, why are asking about tennis courts, its rated as the best chippy in derby, and won numerous awards for food hygiene, staff are quick and friendly, what more do you want.

Great service, great food and no queue

Great chip shop nice food very busy on a friday

Amazing mushy peas highly recommended plus everything else is great

Absolutely fantastic curry and chips 🍟 👌

Used to live in the area when I was a young girl I have moved out of the area but still come back for the best fish and chips that I know

One star for atmosphere because it's a takeaway service. Food is excellent. Get their early and get in the queue.

Actually never been in as I was working in the co op next door but all the customers and my colleagues that came in all say its amazing..my colleagues even went in for their dinner ! Will definitely try it!

Our first visit here...won't be our last! Fish was absolutely delicious, crispy, fresh and tasty. Brilliant service, too, really friendly and kind.

Was nice to be back...great value and Cod was cooked well tasted excellent

Excellent fish and chips. Chips well cooked and fish fresh and batter crispy

Had fritter fish cake n curry sauce amazing

Words can't even justify how good the food is from here and the service of the staff very highly rated, everyone is friendly and helpful. We love coming to sheltons 😀

Asked for a little bit of salt omg can not eat my food way to much salt not the first time waste of my money it is alway the old lady that does it and if u ask for someone else she gets rude about it

Best chippy in town. You won't be disappointed. Great food and staff.

Amazing food good portion size and staff are always welcoming

Lovely ladies that work here. Always friendly and down to earth. Foods amazing to. Only go once a week but I'm happy every time. I also love my cheese cob hehe 😀😃

The very best fish and chips I have ever had - and they are CONSISTENTLY excellent. We have some food from there most weeks - the chicken tikka is very good as well.

The peas 🫛 were amazing 👏 ps still on the slimming world diet 😋

Nice food. Big portion sizes. The batter wasn't what we expected, didn't have the normal crisp that you get. Was like a flat batter. Chips were OK, scampi nice. Good service. Friendly! Relatively busy but great order to take out time.

Awesome as always, excellent food served with a smile, can't go wrong.

Good food Though could be better portion sizes for the price

The chips were undercooked and soggy. My partner had fish which he said was fine. We also had a tray of chicken tikka meat which was just vile as it had loads of crunchy cartlidge bits in it, we couldn't eat it. We're not sure how it's been voted the best chippy. The lady serving was very friendly though.

Person serving on the counter was extremely rude, no manners at all!

Excellent food, service. Staff totally welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be going again

Great chip shop best I have had in Derby . Lovely staff very friendly and like a bit of banter 😀

I missed this place since I've moved to Littleover (Highfield area). Wish I see another one of them in my local and I can guarantee you'll get loads more customers.

Very fresh and generous servings here, also consistent in my experience. Love it!

I can see why this was voted derbys best chippy Fantastic food!

Nice fish it tasted like my ex wife yummy in my tummy then the owner danced with me and we all happy 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

From Swadlincote but been visiting relative at derby hospital, called in from google reviews and must say Top chip shop- very nice

Excellent food reasonably priced

Just need to do scraps the food is a1

Have used Shelton lock fish bar for quite a few years now and have always thought it was a great chippy but I do think it's gone down in quality

Great food great service. Nothing else needs to be said.

Tues night, arrived 830pm fish was cooked to order which is normal ....was told 10 mins, 25 mins later was still waiting...at 850pm people were still walking into the shop, (5 people waiting) yet the manageress refused to put the rumbler on to make more chips as they had ran out. If the shop is open until 9 you need to make sure you've got enough chips for your orders, saying "I'm not turning the rumbler on at 2050" and talking about payrises to the boss, isn't acceptable! It was clearly too much trouble to grab a peeler and do a few by hand to forefill customers orders too, they wouldn't have a job if they worked for me!! paid £4.20 for a large chips and after getting home and opening them up hoping to share them with my son, to find enough chips to feed the cat is a joke!! sharing the remaining chips out between the customers that were left in the shop when they are paying full price for their order is not on!! especially as the order was placed 30 mins before closing time, that would explain why they offering free pies sausages to people to make up for the fact there were no chips because the staff were too Lazy to make any. Although the fish was nice, the batter was very thick and stodgy, peas were dry. Was really looking forward to trying Shelton Lock out as heard so many good things about the place but was disappointed beyond belief, Iv never in my life waited 25 mins in a chip shop to then walk out with half my order. What a s*** show.

Always great food here, not had one bad meal

Excellent food and excellent service 👌always delicious 😋

Food was absolutely delicious and would definitely use again but staff are rude and certainly dont know what manners are

We've lived in derby for a long time but this was the first time trying Shelton lock fish bar, and I'm not going anywhere else. Excellent traditional fish and chips, delicious delicious white fish, good chips and the portions are very generous, highly recommended. I'm just sorry to be this late to the party!!

Very pleasant and food is lovely good portions

Fish dry, no cornish pasty, no spam fritters. Not a good day, should have gone to McDonald's.

Great food and service. Regular customer.

I have to say that on a Saturday night the week before Christmas the queue was long, not unexpected given how good this chip shop is. But to see how hard everyone works behind that counter and the food was still absolutely top notch. Well done to all.

Always good place. Very clean and staff helpful

Best chippy in derby, full stop.

The portions are huge. The quality is superb. The staff are all helpful. I cannot speak highly enough of the attributes of the establishment.

About the best chippy in the area. Consistently great food, high quality, friendly place where most customers know each other, and the main lady behind the counter is a good laugh. Would happily eat there every night 😋

Food was lovely and plenty of it nice pleasant helpful staff

Always good fresh fish and chips are good. Peas look bit too bright green. There's always a queue, which tells you it's liked.

Brilliant little chippy.fast service.

Excellent food. Friendly staff always happy. Would recommend.

Some of the best chips I’ve ever had and the mini cod was huge. Cooked to perfection! Will definitely return!

Still the best around, have been going for years and years now, and their are not many fish and chips shops that can complete. Chips are always the best around, don’t hesitate to visit.

Best chippy in Derby in my opinion

Went for first time never again chips so from soggy greasy

Best fish and chips ! And Chinese curry is delish 😊

Great chippy! We had a child's fish goujon meal with chips and curry and a large fruit shoot for£4.50. Worth every penny and would easily do an adult. The goujon was the size of a mini fish with loads of chips, and genuine fruit shoot, not a cheap look- a -like. Clean place, friendly, efficient, polite staff. I'll definitely go again and have no hesitation in recommending👍🏻

Nice chips but fish was ropey, was more like a chewy fish jerky under the batter, not nice. Wouldn’t go back

Nicest staff x and food excellent

Always a pleasure to visit here ,the prices have inevitably had to go up but the quality of the food means it's still good value for money and the staff are always pleasant even at their busiest times.

Great shop, no charge for card… thanks for the great service

Ordered food which when got home wasn't very good...I called the owner/manager and he apologized and said to throw it, I'll send you some new food round...10 mins later food is here ...hot and tastes great deffo recommend

Simply the best. Better than all the rest

Excellent service and food was perfect. Big portions and crispy fish. Would go again.

Good chip shop the prices are ok but not the greatest it can be quite busy!

Very nice freshly cooked, lightly battered fish. Absolutely gorgeous. Pleasant staff. 🌟 🌟 🌟 ✨⭐

Great fish and chips. Great staff. Would recommend that you give them a go. Take away or order them for collection.

Great food, great prices, great staff.

The BEST chip shop in Derby, despite 3 chip shops in walking distance from me I would sooner get the car out and come for my fish and chips from the Shelton Lock Fish Bar, forget Zanfish, George's and Steve's they haven't a clue . 5 plus stars.

The best fish and chips in Derby

If I got to complain about something, it’s their customer service. I had an awful experience when I came for collecting an order. I was in the queue and was about to collect an order, but a few teenagers were mimicking my accent, which was not something I could stand for, but the restaurants have no say on that. They didn’t even bother to speak up against those bullies. The restaurant should either bring up or stand on discrimination policy. They shouldn't be watching silent when people face discrimination within their premises. Also, I’ve been a regular customer of this place, but on very few occasions, I had a good experience with their service. I know it's not good to give 1 star for the experiences I had with their customer service considering the quality of the food. I’ve now changed my rating to 3 stars.

Regular customer of SLFB, having lived in the area for some time now. When my family visit it's always rave reviews following a 'chippie tea'. Don't realise how great they are at SLFB until you go elsewhere and you wished you'd waited until you got home!

Prompt service quick clean and friendly. Karen has always very friendly.. Fish, chips. and peas delicious.

Just enjoyed one of the best take home fish and chip meals in a long while. Superbly fresh and white Haddock and tasty chunky Chips. Always been one of the best F & C outlets around, never been disappointed. Well done Shelton Lock Fish Bar.

Good fish and chips, well priced. Friendly staff.

Great traditional fish and chips. It can be a bit busy, but that's not surprising.

Fantastic food and great value for money, Staff are lovely😊

Consistently good food from here. Fish is never a let down. Great.portion sizes.

Ran out of alot of food was nothing special just your standard chip shop

Absolutely excellent, best chippy in Derby.

Great food even if the queue was well around the corner.. Gave time to watch the constant line of cars at the service station opposite!!

sorry but was the best chip shop in derby,but not now. gone downhill since covid. chips nowhere near as nice any more and the same with the sausages. think they are cutting costs on the potatoes they buy in and the same with the frozen sausages. last 3 visits have been poor. will try and find better now somewhere else.

Visited Kendel Jade hair who is based here. Got in with a consultation appointment for my 12 year old daughter, she was very friendly and put my daughter at ease as she has a bit of social anxiety. Was happy to go through ideas, talk about how her hair would be, came back the next week for the haircut decided, my 12 year old was thrilled to bits with her new look. Relaxing atmosphere, lovely set up. I reccomend her. I will be going back with my own hair requirements soon.
