The Coach House in High Peak

It was ok. But for the price I was expecting more. Small portions, and just expensive for what we got. Fish was fairly fresh, and the chips wasn’t bad

I just felt like a treat on a cold day and I definitely got one. The Chips were perfect some crispy edges great colour and not greasy at all ! As for the Steak and kidney Pudding it was sublime the meat was tender in a thick and very tasty gravy the best I've ever had and I've had a fair few! The suet was soft but held its shape when sliced through and not too thick who ever makes the puddings should win an award ☺️ I will be returning to have more of the same in the very near future 😀

The food is great quality and the portions are pretty fair. The staff are friendly and helpful. It can get busy at times, but worth a short wait.

Lovely chips and battered sausages. Generous portions. Staff friendly. Reasonable wait time. Reasonably priced. Recommend.

Best cod and chips I have eaten. Lovely batter and tasty chips. Service was quick and friendly. Thank you for a lovely supper. Wish you were in Warwickshire.

This is the only local fish n chips takeaway we use regularly. Food is always good and everyone likes what they have. Staff are polite and don’t get things wrong.

3rd time I have been here and the girls behind the counter are so rude ! Giving nasty looks! I only went in because I was up that end of town after a massage and thought I’d treat myself. The large chips was more like a small and they was rubbish. Better off going to the Chinese chippy in Fairfield. Would not recommend and will never go again

Got medium (which was small) chips, sausage, small tub of curry and a can of diet coke. £8.75. I asked is that right, the server was abrupt in her response. I walked out having spent that much with a very small portion. I know costs have increased but not this much, felt ripped off, never again.

I never review meals but just had to today as had the most over priced, disappointing meal ever. Waited for over an hour for fish and chips. The fish was grey and was all batter. The bread was stale and hard having been left under the pass for too long and the butter was just an oily mess. It should not have been served and the chef should have known better. I did not complain as could not find anyone to complain to. The poor lad at the bar was on his own doing a stirling job with a massive queue waiting to be served. He was bar man, waiter and server. Worst meal ever, so disappointed.

Whilst many reviews say that their food was swimming in grease, my partner and I dodged that particular bullet. 1 Sausage, 1 regular cod, 1 large portion of chips and 2 small sauces was £14!!! In my 2 minute walk home (I'm a local and this was my 1st visit) the chips were lukewarm when I arrived. My partner liked his cod though we were disappointed by the portion sizes of the cod and the chips. My sausage tasted of nothing and was a bit tough. Overall very disappointed and will never return.

Family holiday treat supper and not disappointed. Excellent fish with lovely light batter and great chips.£19 for three suppers and three drinks,so not expensive at Just over £6 each. Thank you people!

Visited The Coach House on Friday lunch time having being told it was a super chip shop. I ordered a regular cod, chips and mushy peas and asked for it to be served in a tray and was charged a staggering £10.80. Maybe, just maybe this price would have been warranted if the food wasn’t so oily/greasy. In hindsight I should have questioned the price but didn’t as it was a treat day. Surely I’m right in thinking that what I ordered was overpriced? All those items when served separately could have cost that price but surely to be served in a tray means that the price would be lower? Either way I have been served better in my local area of Leek and at a much cheaper price.

Very poor. Batter too thick and tasted of old fat. Chips tasted the same.Need to improve. Pity as used to be excellent. Standards have slipped. .

We were staying for a couple of days at campsite just out of town,after a wet walk into town we checked on websites for Fish & Chips for eat in,we walked up to The Coach House in pouring rain hoping for this only to find when we arrived seating area was closed this was early evening,why don’t these places update there details especially in these times?,had a wet & miserable walk back to campsite with Fish & chips tucked inside my coat!.Declined them in a plastic bag as it makes them soggy,chips not bad but fish was greasy & staff not especially welcoming.

The Coach House has always been and always will be the best Fish & Chip Shop in Buxton. The staff are all very well trained, and professional. There is lots to choose from and gluten free options. The ingredients are the best, and this is reflected in the price.

Really enjoyed my fish supper cooked to perfection and reasonable price in comparison to other chippys . Would definitely go again

We were staying on a campsite just outside Buxton and called in here for a fish supper. We bought 2 regular fish and a large chips with 3x ketchup sachets..... just over £15!! I wouldn’t have minded so much but the staff weren’t very friendly and the food was swimming in grease. Both my partner and I have stomach ache for the rest of the night and the next day too. To say I was disappointed was an understatement and if we’d have been closer I would have taken the back and complained in person

Had fish, pie and chips from here and all delicious! Only issue was we weren’t given forks, and the one way queues made it hard to go back and get cutlery so we were caught out

Good fish and chips - not sure if 10.95.for the special is good value or not but we didn't mm ind paying it. Fast service.

We visited this fish and chip shop twice - both times eating at one of the tables there . We had excellent fish and chips on one occasion and good pies and chips on another . The food is freshly made on the premises and the restaurant was nicely decorated for Christmas. The staff were all very friendly and jolly . I recommend .

Absolutely appalling. Only take cash . Very expensive and soggy batter on the fish will not return very poor

I'm very happy I didn't read the reviews before I went here because I probably wouldn't have bothered. And I would have missed out what I thought were really good fish and chips. I had the meal deal and at 7.95 for fish chips curry sauce and a drink I thought that was pretty good value for money. I also found the staff very friendly.

Popped in for a quick lunch as I was starving. Saw the ridiculous prices so just had the chips and gravy on a small tray. £3.75. For a handful of chips and bit of gravy. That's the worst bit. When I tried to eat them I the chips were too stale to even put my teeth through them. They must've been sat there for hours to be that tough. Easily the worst chips I have ever had. Attempted to eat a few as I was so hungry but gave up and threw them. £3.75 for small pile of stale chewy chips. Utter garbage. Avoid at all costs.

Clearly a chippy that targets visitors to the area, Anyway very greasy chips don’t get many either! Very stingy for the price you pay. Came for fish and chips which was swimming in grease YUK! Was disgusting terribly disappointed for the price you pay! well over a tenner. Staff are uninterested and miserable too. They make a lot of money for substandard food. Won’t be returning.

on our travels around buxton we decided to have a quick bite to eat , it was agreed in our group that some chips would fit the bill. the coach house is a large chippy that is clean and tidy however they need to step up there game on the chips , way way to greasy , portion size good but quality not so much

Staff obviously don't listen.. came in for battered sausage, mushy peas and curry sauce, came home to find no curry sauce... But gravy!! I was so looking forward to this treat!! I wouldn't mind but the shop was empty, so they can't say they were rushed off their feet! It hadn't been too far I would of taken them back, instead I binned the gravy and made do!!

Me and my partners subtotal bill worked out at nearly £30 for two “large” portions of fish and chips. For what we payed, the portion sizes were tiny and the quality of food poor and swimming in grease.

Bought for a old folks treat, “no treat” two of them threw up on the grease Mine were swimming in it, the paper they were wrapped in was absolutely sodden with it. It got on my hands the table all the cutlery and even my clothes, never again.Even thinking of them makes me feel sick and to top it off it cost over £75 for 5 people!!

Having been here many times as locals and always satisfied we were very disappointed with the high price we paid for two SMALL portions of F&Chps; ,£ 11 something !!! Having said that they were very tasty.

Far too expensive. Greasy batter, so greasy it soaked through onto the chips. A 'large' fish (£7.20) is just 4 or 5 mini fish, 4 or 5 times more awful batter. Stopped here because I knew I wouldn't get home in time to visit my regular chippy. Should have bought a bag of crisps and saved myself a tenner.

Stopped here whilst having a drive around Derbyshire, paid £1.75 for a cone of chips and got a total of 25 chips! That portion wouldn’t even fill my 4 year old grandson!

We were staying in the area in September and had amazing food from here before so come Friday night we called again but sat in rather than Take-Away.

We visited today, whilst on holiday so not familiar with buxton. The chip shop looked appealing, and they have table service or takeaway. We opted to eat in and the meal deal was pointed out to us. A fish, chip,peas,bread and hot or cold drink for £10.50 each. Not bad, until you get your calculator out and work out that it's cheaper to buy everything separately! depending which drink you opt for, it's about 50-75p cheaper, so just order separately. When we paid the bill we pointed this out but clearly they already knew this. Overall, a bit of a con, pricewise, but good food. Note... cash only, but no signage, so a steady stream of diners were sent to the ATM.

My wife and I decided we fancied a sit down fish and chip lunch. We liked the look of The Coach House, and more importantly, we liked the smell of the food coming out of there!

Nous avons commandé par deux fois des fish and chips chez eux et tout était très bon. Je recommande les home made fish cakes, excellents ! Service très propre, sympatique et souriant !

Still don’t know whether you’re supposed to order at counter or whether it’s table service. One waitress walked past us 3 times after taking an order from another table. Lovely meal though and good gluten-free batter. No sign up warning it was cash only.

We were tourist in the area so wanted a cheap eat that we could also eat in.

I visited with a friend who particularly wanted fish and chips. The portions here are very large, so if you want to eat a lot this could be your place. The haddock was average at best, not very tasty. The huge mound of chips was soggy and pretty tasteless. The baked beans were, I think, Heinz, so at least that suggests they try to buy good ingredients. Prices are reasonable.

We had ‘Take Away. it was less than 5 minutes before we were eating but the chips were soggy. They looked a lovely colour though. Burger in a bun was much enjoyed. Sausages were the usual chip shop fayre.

Stumbled across this chippy whilst looking to feed the kids. Low and behold, a sign on the door advertised gluten free. Only choice was fish pieces with fish, but oh my days were they tasty! After waiting over a year for chippy chips, these were home made style and the fish was soft and succulent. Three hours later and there's no ill effects so my family and I will be regulars here. Many thanks, see you soon!!

Good food, very friendly service from staff and management.. would recommend a visit. Some of our group remarked that there was no carvery, but this did not dampen a good evening.

£9.60 for chips peas and gravy and cheesy chips and one water to take out!! The portions were very small and quality average. In my opinion poor value, mediocre quality - too be avoided.

This is a very expensive overpriced chippy. Sadly the quality is not very good either making this one of the worst chippys in Buxton in my honest opinion.

Well as I live close to towns famous for Fish - Cromer Sheringham, Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth, I was a bit reluctant to choose that type of meal for lunch and it looked a bit run down, but time was short and the premises were just across from

Visited with my daughter lots of young girls serving who are more interested in chatting to each other than giving us out food one young girl took our chicken burger out the back for 5 minutes and brought it back exactly the same.service was poor and food overall high priced and nothing special

If you are going to charge £2.30 for regular chips which are the size of a small portion they should be the best tasting chips around- unfortunately they were not.

Went in this place today for lunch. Had homemade fishcake, chips and mushy peas. Excellent food and Excellent service. Would recommend to anyone.

Upon entry we had to wait for the waitresses to finish their gossip before being able to order- then ordered an overpriced but nevertheless nice portion of chips but when we attempted to sit down we were told it's more expensive to eat in which is barbaric but if that's the law so be it. What angered me was how the seemingly untrained young waitress never offered us the choice of whether to eat in or take away. This is the result of the owners choosing to hire young, below par waitresses for the sake of cheap labour. You'd think with the price they charge for the food and the seemingly low expenditure on the decor of the interior, they'd have some spare money to hire competent staff.

We ate in the 50's / 60's style restaurant and enjoyed the freshly cooked, delicious, crispy battered fish, and the wonderful crunchy chips. Accompanied with a slice of buttered white bread, mushy peas and a mug of tea - what a perfect end to our stay in England!

If your looking for good old fish & chips you can't go wrong here. Definitely recommend you give it a try.

A friend said we couldn't visit Buxton and not have fish and chips here. Well the queue to get in said it all. Very 60's feel about it with booths to sit in. Not cheap but great quality and portion size.

Called in for fish and chips in the evening. They were very busy but had nothing ready., Which meant that everything was freshly cooked but you had a long wait.

I sat in for fish & chips. Great food. Good value and great service. I would eat here again when I visit Buxton again. Beautiful fish cooked to perfection.

Recently called in here whilst visiting friends in Buxton, from outside it looks very nice, but once inside ooh my dear. Small waiting area, when even a couple of customers in looks full. The decor is something out of the 1880. The staff behind the counter were the rudest, most ignorant Ived ever come across in a takeaway / restaurant. With the attitude you are disturbing them and why should we help you. The food ordered was also very expensive, small chips and peas £3:50 . Just plonked on a tray. You can't put your own vinegar and salt on, because you may use to much. There was no polite thank you conversation just very basic conversation. Eer what did you say, etc. The food was very poor, cold soggy chips, watery peas, not pleasant at all. Overall I would give it 0 out of 10. Price very expensive, food really poor quality, staff, below basic. Probably the worst takeaway food ever.

We enjoyed quick service and the food was tasty and came in reasonable portions. It is a bit of squeeze and the toilets were a bit primitive. Good views of the world going by and a good location. Service was a bit slow for others when the staff were too busy with the take away side of the business. Plenty of character when compared with the soulless chippy chains that you see elsewhere.

Went for a takeaway. The cod was small and batter soft along with the chips. Staff were fine and friendly. Overall poor value for money.

Food was brilliant not a bad word to say about that, however the young girl serving us had a major attitude problem and continued talking to her colleague whilst we waited for her to serve us and she didn't smile the whole time. If they're not careful they'll drive away customers.

Probably my favourite fish and chip shop. I've been going to The Coach House since I first went to Buxton in 1992, with the exception of the year it burnt down (I told them they were overcooking the chips...).

Me and my partner was stopping up the road at pomeroy caravan park and was too late to start cooking so we decided to have a 'chippy tea'. We opted to take out rather than dine in as we had our dog in tow. I had sausage and chips with a barm cake and my partner had sausage chips and spicy curry sauce. We also ordered 2 small sausages for the dog (oopps) it came to around £11.80 We wouldn't say it was cheap but we enjoyed it we wolfed it down. The service was quick. The girl was very friendly.

My first time here, was recommended to go here and try there fish & chips, I was not disappointed!.Friendly & helpful staff, 2 staff members who served me were Megan & Sophie, had golden service by these two!. There hot chocolate is to die for, one of the best I have had in Buxton!. Fish just melted in my mouth, the batter was just cooked right!, best chips I have ever had!. I shall be coming here again in the future!

Probably the worst fish & chips I have ever eaten, extremely greasy, uncooked batter, ordered haddock and was given skinless cod. Couldn't eat it, my stomach deserves better.

I live in Buxton and this is not my first choice for fish n chips. The restaurant is a lovely space but the food is a bit hit n miss. Chips are always soggy, fish not the best in town but the homemade pie is fab. Staff courteous and friendly but my main grumble is the cost for the portion size. Not open on Sunday. Second choice when my favourite chippy is shut.

The place was clean people were pleasent but we ordered a meal we new it was expensive for a chip shop but we thought we were in for a nice meal but it turned up on a childs plate chips were terible burger was nice and pie but the portion was so small did not leave a tip and will not return me and my partner left there and went to supermarket as we were still hungry we like buxton and feel we were let down unless they change I would not go again

I went to The Coach House on Saturday just passed and I (Being Quite Elderly) My eyesight was not as good as it use to be and myself and Granddaughter wanted to use the toilet struggling I quite annoyingly asked the boys where it was and a two of the most Politest chaps helped me and my Granddaughter by opening the door for us and chaining it open so I didn't have to heave it open on the way back, after I had finished they said "I hope you enjoy your meal" and I did! the food was lovely and is lovely staff service and by far the best chippy around in Buxton that I know, but those boys made me want to go back just because of how polite and calm they were when I myself wasn't.

Called here for lunch only because we had visited many years ago. Decided to have the steak and kidney pie with chips, peas and gravy. Peas forgotten, when they arrived were only just warm. Chips were lovely, the best I've had in a long time. The pie, not great.

I write a fair few restaurant reviews and know most of the places to eat in Buxton as I only live a few miles away. It really pains me when I see this place not rated higher in the rankings, if only people could just be bothered to walk up the hill towards the market instead of sitting in those 2 terrible chip shops stroke cafes in the main shopping street / precinct that do fish and chips badly.

A classic fish and chip shop that offers takeaway and eat in. We had the steak and kidney pudding 'special' so it came with chips, gravy, bread and butter and a huge mug of fresh tea all for £7.50. Quickly served and piping hot, excellent value for a tasty treat.

This is how a fish and chip shop should be. Comfortable dining room and wonderful food. The fish,the puddings and the chips themselves all taste fresh and authentic and have been prepared and cooked with care.

This chip shop is far better than those 2 down on Spring Gardens by miles but it just doesn't get the same volume of traffic because its up at the market place, maybe thats why it has to try harder!. It is well worth making the effort to walk up the hill away from the main shopping street for so many reasons. It is clean, the food is much better, the staff are much friendlier. We both had the 2 home made pies and they were very tasty. The chips were lovely and the bread was nice and fresh. We will be back

On a recent visit to Buxton with my elderly mother we stumbled across this family run fish and chip restaurant. who served up home made beef pies and cheese and onion pies as well as the usual dishes that you would expect. What made this fish restaurant stand out was the attention to detail. They offered small portions for my elderly mother but for me the icing on the cake was the staff they were friendly and attentive something you would not expect from an every day fish and chip shop 10/10 for food quality and service

Called in just for a quick snack...clean and tidy. Staff happy and friendly. Batter on my sausage was very crispy. Yummy

Stop here as going through Buxton, great stop, staff very friendly and service was also very good, we had the cod and chips special and eat in the seated area, fish was lovely as were the chips and mushy peas.

Service was ok here despite being busy, quality of chips was average, some undercooked and far too greasy, sausage was nice though, wouldn't rush back

On a recent break in the Buxton area we decided to pop in to the Coach House for some fish and chips. We opted to eat inside and we were warmly welcomed.

The Coach House has always been our chippy of choice in Buxton, but today we found that new fish-shaped plates have been introduced. These are too small to eat off and it also means that portion sizes have probably been reduced. I had the mini special fish and chips and the plate was so narrow that the fish was placed on top of the chips, and most of the chips were small hard bits (as per previous review) and it was also difficult to stop the chips sliding off the plate when cutting into the fish. I gave the waitress some feedback at the end and she said the staff don't like the new plates either. She suggested that we ask for normal plates when/if we go again. It sounds petty, but it really spoiled my visit!

I ordered my chips and went to sit outside. I noticed straight away that about 80% of the chips were the small left over hard bits that get left behind when scooping up the chips to bag them. You know the type - the pointy hard 2-3cm chips. I hardly got any regular long soft chips. I was in a rush to go somewhere so just tried to eat what I could. Eating the soft bits and leaving behind the hard bits. In the end I had so much left behind that I couldn't eat I got so annoyed I went back in and plonked the left over food on their counter and left.

.....have to chew her chewing gum all through taking your order and when serving the meal?? I know it's just fish and chips but even so?

Some of the best fish and chips we've had, without a doubt the best in town. A must visit if you come to Buxton, decorated with beautiful oil paintings of landmarks around the area. Staff were very polite 👍🏼

Lovely fish and pie however the chips were over salted however I can really only blame on the member of staff who was serving us. The staff were quite friendly and service was fairly quick.

Despite a large group of us piling in without pre booking I can't fault the exceptional cooking and bar staff who gave excellent service and turned out all our meals in under 40 min all tasting great and at a very reasonable price, I would definitely recommend!

Ok so the Old Coach House looks a bit tired inside but you cannot fault the food or the service. The fish and chips were the best we had had in ages and were great value for money. Staff were friendly and helpful and it was a great value place to eat.

Friendly welcome, good range of food to choose from, excellent Fish nd Chips. Very friendly staff. Clean toilet.

The fish was freshly cooked and the chips were large and tasty. I opted for the take away option, although there is the provision to eat in house. Unlike the majority of fish & chip shops these days, the coach house offered smaller portions of both fish and chips. So many these days give you far too much for a single person to eat, this results in either over eating or throwing good food away - neither a good option.

6 of us visit the Peak District from time to time and have ducked in here for a meal before. We tend to eat before heading over the road to Sainsburys and do the weekend shopping for a walking trip. Last time we visited 2 years ago it was great, so we were really looking forward to eating here again.

stumbled upon this chippy on a day trip to buxton run by youngsters family i think [4 girls 2 boys] absolutely brilliant from ordering to finding a table fish chips and peas b and tea 16 pound absolute pleasure start to finish

the fish and chips are first class we travel in to buxton for them when there are other chippies nearer

As per title you won't go far wrong eating in or out! Great service great fresh food. Huge choice on the menu and lots of seating.

We had a lovely steak and onion pie and chips there. The pie was great and the chips nice and crisp. well worth a visit. You can take away or eat in.

Friendly staff, well cooked fish and chips,crispy batter,nice mushy peas would recommend,well worth a visit !

Stopped here on a whim and was pleasently surprised at how good the fish was. Batter was light, crispy and non greasy and the cod was lovely and fresh. I had the small cod meal which was more then enough, peas were very good to. My husband had the medium meal which was also a decent size. The price was a little higher then we usually pay (£15.25 for 2 meals) but not going to quibble when its enjoyable. Toilets were very clean.

I went at tea-time yesterday 25/08/15 and ordered a large Cod and small chips to takeaway. . . . I might add at this point that I am on a walking stick and it is obvious as I am leaning on it.
