Best fish and chips in ashbourne

We've eaten in absolutely lovely so returned for takeaway we was served by a lovely man made us laugh while we waited WILL was his name he'd left but returned to help out made our wait go quicker The portion of chips are huge 😍

Just had their cod and haddock with chips...probably the best fish and chips I have EVER had. Genuinely, absolutely top notch. Service was outstanding too. The lad who served me was so generous with my daughter who came in with me. Just brilliant....

Owners are very decent passionate people who make you feel very welcome The food is incredible and consistently so I been going there for a while now in various times and days alway blown away by the quality and freshness of the food Alex and Andrew are obsessive about giving their customers only the very best freshly cooked fish and chips

Small take away fish and chip shop. Godd service. Portion size good. Reasonable prices. Food tasty not greasy.

Absolutely the best chippy around! Chicken breast fab, ordered several things a few times including fish and chips, halloumi everything is always spot on! Great portion sizes too. Recommend 🙂

Friendly service, huge portions & great value. Would recommend. Mini fish & chips plenty even after a long day of walking!

We travel about 40 minutes to this chip shop each time just because we know It’s worth the drive. Always friendly and consistently good food.

The fish and chips I have ever tasted

Great food served freshly cooked, quickly and with excellent customer service. The restaurant was clean and tidy with tables being cleared and cleaned as soon as customers left. The staff were really polite and couldn't do enough to help. We had Scampi & Chips and Steak Pie & Chips and Tea and Coffee.

Great fish and chips. Everything was cooked fresh and tasted amazing. We'll definitely return if we are in the area again 🐟 🍟

Great place to end up after a ride out...

Very nice fish & chips at market place

Came in earlier in the day, just on holiday with the family so didn’t know about this place but glad I found it. Absolutely lovely place to stop at and eat. The young fella who served us (I believe his name was Callum) was absolutely amazing. Great service and very helpful for my children’s fussy requirements.

Good menu and fast service. The fish and chips were delicious. A nice place to eat, with friendly staff.

Took in an order on Friday evening for meals for 19 people for 8pm Saturday evening, for after we returned to our holiday let after a day at Alton Towers. Was ready on time for us, and each order correct. Food was delicious and the staff so friendly and competent. Thank you Market Place chippy .

Came in for large fish and chips, will and Callum were amazing were busy but didn’t wait to long recommend enough

Best fish and chips in Ashbourne!

Excellent fish and chips at a competitive price

Nice chips, curry sauce and excellent gravy. We also had the haddock and cod and this was OK.

Great food. I would highly recommend

Great fresh food, battered chips on Tuesday's are great.

Excellent fish, chips and peas as always. Fish was cooked fresh as I ordered. Great service.

Fish and chips were very good. Polite service

Excellent, especially the chips, would definitely recommend 👌

Great service, friendly and quick, lovely tasting food and large quantities.

Quality ingredients cooked with care. A cut above your usual chippy

Really nice food, I would definitely recommend visiting if you are in Ashbourne.

Stopped off here on a random trip, I got to say this was the best fish and chips I've had since I can remember, hands down beats even fish and chips at the sea side 👌

Best chippie for miles around. I've been eating them for over 50 years! I would go anywhere else if I'm in the area.

Gorgeous roe and chips, battered sausage was lovely and my daughter loved her fish bite aswell! Best curry sauce I've had in a long time too! All the stars I can give thank you so much for an amazing meal 🍴

Friendly service and large pre orde readyr on time. Very happy overall.

The best battered chips on a Tuesday. Friendly staff. Great service

Have always had amazing food from here, been coming here for over 30years, and this visit was as equally great as the first time I visited

Fabulous service and excellent food. Super friendly, cheery staff. Definitely recommend and will be back next time we stay in Ashbourne 💖

What a gem! We stopped here after a day cycling the Tissington Trail. Never been before so didn’t realise you could eat in, which we decided to do. Ordered two mini fish and chips and one large cod and chips, which were cooked to order. Everything was perfect, tasty and very hot. The curry sauce - WOW! Maybe the best I’ve tried. Well done team, will definitely be back when we’re next in the area. 👌🏼👍🏼

Best chips in the area and top 'dirty burger' 🍔😋

Brilliant cant say anymore this is more than a chip shop Nae faults (A smidgen under The Wee Chippy Anstruher Fife ) You MUST visit staff a great food cooked as requested

Was just wandering around and nipped in for fish and chips as it was cold service was good all cooked fresh 😋

Great value small fish, chips & peas

We originally planned to go to a pub for tea but spotted this little hidden restaurant as we passed by and changed our mind! Really fast service for a reasonable price, felt like we were by the seaside even this far in land. It was also really nice to be able to sit inside while we ate without a long wait for a table. A definite recommendation for a quick bite or a full meal!

A consistently good chip shop. The fish is nice but order cod if you want to avoid skin on. Little cafe restaurant which is pleasant.Recommended.

Popped in here got the fish special , very nice not greasy, and the 2 young lads serving were very polite, well worth a visit

Got the mini fish special for £7 was really nice staff was friendly aswell nice place to go for your fish and chips.

Go Regularly on a Friday so friendly food is good and the PLAICE is very clean x

What a treat. We had fish chips and peas today in the cafe. Every element of the meal was perfectly cooked and served on ceramic plate with proper cutlery. A very friendly service in a comfortable and clean environment. We will be back.

Just passing through Ashbourne with there lovely Christmas lights and decided to stop off athe chip shop we ate in 3 pies chips peas & gravy ,1 fish chips peas teas & coffees everything was pipping hot and good service will definalty go back

Don’t come here often but when I do, the staff are always friendly and the food is top notch! Fresh fish was beautiful and the chips were crispy and fluffy, just the way they should be.

Great gluten free options - delicious traditional fish chips

Hands down the best fish and chips I have ever had. The haddock was amazing and so fresh. Very reasonable prices considering the current economy. The service was excellent and I even met the main man Alex. As a field service engineer I have sampled fish and chips from all over the UK and I can say with utmost confidence this is the best 👌 Can't wait to be back.

Best haddock and chips I've ever had. Excellent highly recommend.

Super lovely staff, freshly cooked fish and chips absolutely delicious 😊

Good chippy. Generous amount of food. Been coming here for years.

Freshly cooked best haddock and chips in Ashbourne hands down. Always a friendly welcome and good portion sizes, which is also reasonably priced.

Excellent fish chips and mushy peas will definitely be returning.

Great food, easy to order online and collect. Always friendly.

Great! Staff very friendly, service fast and efficient. Food reasonably priced and super tasty! Breaded Plaice particularly good.

Absolutely gorgeous fish and chips. Haven't been for ages as I don't live in the area, but planning a visit to Ashbourne soon and this is where I'll be going for lunch.

The lad was a bit hasty with the order, but it was confusing with the weird vibes he was getting from our indecisive group. Cooked a fresh haddock for me perfectly, crispy batter, and flaky pieces of haddock in side. Chips could have been a bit fresher, but we were there towards the end of the night, so what would you expect. Good fish n chips from a great chippy

Best fish n chips ive ever ever had!!. Had the large fish n chips on Saturday 9th September 23. Had to wait about 10 minutes whilst it was freshly cooked. The portion was large. The chips were cooked to perfection in nice clean oil, with no after taste like some chippy's. The cod was cooked perfectly in a thin crispy batter. Absolutely superb. Went straight back into the shop and told him they were the best I've ever had. Obviously he thanked me and appreciated my comments. Well recommend this place. Andy Bryan Wolverhampton

Very small place, soooo good food. You can sit outside.

Good quality food from this busy shop. Restaurant disappointing, dark and old fashioned as mai emphasis is on take away.

Great food, choice of inside or outside seating.

Proper hidden gem, you wont be disappointed Great chippy.

Best fish and chips on the planet

Possibly the best fish & chip shop I've visited in the UK! I now travel from burton on trent regularly to visit, great for bikers as it is situated at the edge of a big carpark. Food is 10/10 on every visit, the staff are great and very welcoming and the prices are great for the quality & portion sizes! A must visit chip shop in the Peak District area!

The best fish and chips in the area.

Delicious as ever. My favourite fish n chip shop!

Lovely place for a fish and chips meal. Great service and food was fantastic. Definitely recommend.

Not great if you want proper English beer and full of loud, elderly slightly racist people. Not a great outdoor are either, surrounded by biffs bins.

Mind the step down on your way in. Really good portion sizes and menu selection. You can eat in, takeaway or, sit outside. Sitting outside is cheaper if the weather is right. Helpful beeper system when things are busy. Take the fob and when it buzzes/beeps your food is ready. Inside felt a tad dingy as not enough natural daylight and more steps to deal with.

Great chippy ! Perfectly cooked haddock & chips. Decent portion. Not overpriced. Friendly staff/ quick service. Would love a place like this in my home Town. Very satisfied , thanks !

Best fish n chips for 30 miles.

Great place for fish and chips. Everything cooked to order. Friendly and helpful staff

Great staff, very friendly. Very clean and food lovely

See photos attached - olde world fish & chip shop & restaurant. Service was fairly quick, but they were busy. A call back system (card that vibrates) is used to take outside & wait. Can’t wait inside as the area to order is tiny. Fairly good prices - chips can be battered…fish was a good size. Options for children’s meals. No kebab meat. Would recommend.

Really tasty fish and chips. We sat inside which was nice. We introduced some international visitors to curry sauce, jumbo sausages, and they introduced us to vinegar on mushy peas! It was interesting to see they are gluten free Monday to Thursday.

Had the large fish & chips with mushy peas for £13.65 and ate it in the restaurant. The cod was massive and beautifully cooked, light batter and not overdone like you find in some chippies. Lovely freshly cooked proper chips and all washed down with a nice mug of tea which was only a quid when bought with a meal. 4.5 out of five and would definitely recommend.

Top food, top staff. Nice little indoor cafe. Thanks very much for a lovely visit (Oh and they do full fat Cherry Cola). Belter!

Gorgeous crispy batter on lovely white fish, loved the mushy peas and the chips too, really tasty, I will definitely be back if I'm in the area again.

Great fish and chips . Efficient service. A few picnic benches outside where you can eat. Or just drive into the peaks and eat with a view .

Lovely polite & friendly food excellent.

We have been here several times for takeaway and to eat in and have always found the food superb and service to be friendly, welcoming and accommodating. There's a cafe section to eat in and several picnic tables to eat outside. The food is very good. The family had fish, battered sausage, pie, halloumi burger, chips, gravy, peas, beans and curry sauce. It was all delicious and my daughter said it was possibly the best halloumi burger she had ever had.

Best chip shop in Ashbourne. Always tastes like fresh oil being used - non of that burnt oil flavour that I hate. Best chips are those you wait for, to be cooked. Lots of tourists use this place and sit outside on the benches to enjoy the meal. Good for a chat.

Absolutely lovely! Best halloumi burger i've ever had!!

Had dinner here while visiting Alton Towers with my family. Food was outstanding and very reasonably priced with big portions. Definitely be visiting again next time we are visiting the area.

We tour in our caravan and often have 'chippie tea' on a Friday! After years of very disappointing fish & chips, we were seriously at the point of not bothering again until....we gave this place a go. WOW, thick flaky fresh White cod, light non greasy batter which we devoured (we usually peel it of) and excellent chips. Faith restored. Well done and keep it up.

Great food and nice and helpful staff 👍

Best fish and chips we have had in a long time shame they are a 2hour drive away

Stopped at Ashbourne town centre looking for a Café, much to my disappointment a fair few had stopped trading since the pandemic, fear not! Lucky for us we found this little gem of a Fish and Chip shop! The food was excellent and the price was very reasonable. The weather was in fine form, so we sat outside and did not have to wait long for our food to arrive, no complaints there! All in all a pleasing experience, will definitely return for more in the near future, well done guys and thank you!

The best fish and chips in Ashbourne

The best fish, chips and mushy peas you will ever have.

Fish and chips expensive. Fish and chips came out pale and tasteless, very disappointed! Then having to pay £5:80 just for the privilege of sitting inside on a rickety dirty table and chairs and no table service wasn't great.

I travel 80 miles round trip to have the fish and chips. Eat inside and they are cooked to order. Not found any better than this place.

Very polite and friendly staff, had fish and chips with curry sauce, everything was cooked to order. Food was spot on and curry sauce was acceptable with flavour. Plenty of parking and you can either eat inside or there are outdoor picnic type benches. Not surprised at how busy this place gets, well worth a visit.

Excellent fish and chips. The best we've had in the area. Cheerful and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful gem to find in a lovely little town, the food was absolutely lovely, we ordered 2 x fish, chips and 2 x plaice, 1 x chips, 1 x gravy (my god delicious), 1 x peas 1 x curry sauce, and a bowl of scratchings 1 x coffee, 1 x pot of tea, 1 x coke, 1 x lilt. Price just under £57, was quite a bit left over as we couldn't manage everything, which was a shame as it was absolutely gorgeous, so if you are in this area, only a fool would walk past this chippy.

This is my second visit to this chip shop as it's 50 miles from my house. Still the food was awesome and worth taking a diversion to get there. If you want fish or chicken to shout out for it to be cooked it will reduce the wait. The curry sauce tasted great and definitely worth the visit. The staff were friendly and made sure everything was okay and to your liking. Looking forward to my next visit.

Really disappointed. We've been to this restaurant for years and never had a bad meal but this was just bad. Wished I'd of taken photos because I could have counted the amount of chips I got on both hands....slight exaggeration but still. I dont think I've ever been to a chip shop and had to complain about the amount of chips I got. For £16 for 2 meals, I'm annoyed. My scampi was overcooked and soggy and so was my husbands minifish. What small amount of chips we got, were tasty, just wish there were more. And I'm not being greedy, we were genuinely gobsmacked by it. Best part was the curry sauce and gravy.
