Ordered the kebab in pitta for £8.75 and it was extremely small. Quality of the food is reasonable but don't order this if you are hungry. Service is reasonable but slow even when not particularly busy.

The food specifically the chips were awful. The chips were tough and chewy. They weren’t nice at all. I had to throw them in the bin and only ate half of the chips even though I ordered a small portion. The staff are friendly and it looks clean. But the chips really were a let down. I don’t know what on earth they are doing to them.

Gone down hill over the last few years. I have known Nick for 15+ years and used his shop(s), but this Heatherton store is not good. They often get orders wrong (my wife is just taking a Bread crumbed Haddock back as we ordered a Cod) , the portion sizes (kebabs in particular) have got a lot smaller as prices have risen. I had started going to the Littleover shop, but now find Steve's Ocean Fresh in Mickleover a much better option.

i hate to give a negative review but this is the 2nd time i have been disappointed. For me Zanfish was the best. I had mixed meat and chips, last time i had it on a pittar bread the chips and the bread were fine but the mixed meat was not, the kebab meat was hard, dry and not much of it, the chicken was hard over cooked very dry. Weirdly when i collect its all fine. So what is the problem? is it because its been left for a while and reheated, maybe warmed up it a microwave I don't know but it cost enough so you would expect better. Still lesson learnt, i won't order from them again.

We used to love this fish & chip shop, & the fact they do gluten free is fantastic. However, the last 2 times we've used them, the fish has been really disappointing ( we thought the first time was a one-off). Thick batter, 'grey' thin fish. At £8+ for a fish absolutely not worth it. We won't return. Very sad.

Put in a huge last minute order for my department. Zanfish Heatherton got the entire thing ready with incredible speed and with nothing accidentily left out. Although they unable to provide one of my items, they instead gave me something better and of double the value. They also threw in two free bottles of coke!

Rang up to double check they do gluten free on Saturday and to pre-order. The man said we don’t do pre-orders before slamming the phone down before I could find out if they definitely did gluten free. Bad omens. When I got to the shop I ordered 2x gluten free fish and chips and a can. I said I will pick up the can when I leave so I don’t have to hold it. He told me it would be 8 minutes. 40 minutes later my order was ready. There was no apology just a ‘thanks for waiting’. On the way out I picked up the can I had paid for from the fridge and left the shop only to hear ‘Come back here! Youhave not paid for that can!’ from a different member of staff. Thankfully the man who did serve me remembered my order but it was unpleasant to be accused of shoplifting. The fish and chips were okay but the GF batter nowhere near as good as at other places that do GF such as Etwall or Stretton. After spending 40 minutes watching customers collect their orders, I came to the conclusion you need to order using an online app to get decent service because if you don’t pre-order online you are treated like a second class citizen.

Very expensive, who sells chips box separately when selling already fish with high price. Also younger staff in evening was not enthusiastic and helpful,also felt they have no respect for customers,treated very casually and one of the guy was very aggressive with sarcastic answering when asked few questions about the prices. Staff really needs good training.

I’ve been to this establishment several times, it’s local so I go back. However proximity will no longer win my business. The owner is a rude women. She has no concept of customer service and if you dare mention your chips were cold the next time you go in it’s all your fault. They have put there charges up to the degree it’s cheaper to go to the restaurant next door, I’m aware that all chippies have put their prices up but these are taking it. The Owner is unapologetic about any observations you may have and will charge you for inadequate food. Shouldn’t be allowed to be in business.

Clean premises and helpful staff but very expensive compared to other places - £10 for cod and small chips. Chips really crisp and tasty but the fish/batter has a strange aftertaste which is really not nice and I was tempted to return them and ask for a refund but threw them away in the end. I will not use again.

Chips are cooked with the Fish. Bad Service, The staff are contradicting each other, I get told one thing by one person, get told something completely different by another. Absolutely furious. Everytime I go in to this Zan Fish I always ask if the Chips are cooked in Vegetable Oil and if the Curry Sauce is suitable for Vegetarians. Always yes. I have even asked via Social Media where I was told to ask if I wanted my Chips and other items (Halloumi for example) cooked separate from the meat options. I have stated this on all my Online Orders with them, each time no problem. This week I got told they have always cooked their chips with everything else? Family member goes in today to ask in person as I was unable to and once again, it's always been cooked with the fish. So why was I told it wasn't and it could also be requested?! On Gluten Free day, do they cook items with other breaded items? If someone had an allergy to nuts, is it OK to be cooked in Almond Oil? If items are cooked with meat options then the item isn't vegetarian anymore. I don't mind that shops do this as I just find an alternative, but don't say you do something when you don't. Especially when beliefs and allergy's could come in to it.

Zan Fish Heatherton. Has a range of foods, I've eaten many of those foods a d they are all delicious.The customer service is great, and hygiene in the shop is great too. They have covers and all the staff wear a mask. They also wear gloves to keep your food hygienic. One person always goes willing the worktop where you are given the food. I've given it a 4 because I personally think it's a bit expensive. But it's definitely reasonable if your having a party!

What a lovely bunch. I came for the first time because my grandparents love the place and I see why. Greeted on entry, treated with patience and dignity even if they took their time and the place was busy. The man (maybe the guy running the place) instantly put their order on upon seeing them and was very friendly. The food is amazing, well priced and the entire experience was clean, professional, welcoming. The fish actually tastes like fish, not battered cardboard like I've come to expect from some places. The people complaining about price are the same people who expect 2 pound portions of chips from the 70s and wouldn't know what fresh food tasted like even if they were slapped in the face. Oh, and the friendly girl on checkout heard my grandmother's story about how I live in Japan, despite the pressure on her to get the food out. Absolutely recommended. Support your local and especially if they're running an operation this well. A+

--- I recently had the pleasure of visiting this delightful spot and I must say, it’s a little oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of the shopping centre. The place is impeccably clean and the staff are incredibly friendly, making you feel right at home from the moment you step in. One of the highlights for us was the fact that they accept both cash and card, offering great convenience. My wife absolutely loved it, and I can see why. Whether you’re looking for a quick escape from the shopping crowds or a serene spot to relax, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended! ---
