The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Derbyshire Dales East Midlands

Had the most amazing meal here, fantastic chef and fresh seafood. Such a shame I don’t live nearby or I’d be in all the time. Will revisit on next trip back 🌟

Let’s be clear. This is the best chip shop that is not on the coast we go regularly and never any problems. Really enjoy it. Friendly staff. It’s busy, really popular. And can’t fault it usually. However if you go anywhere near closing time then they won’t warm up any pies so you get what you get. Is sort of understandable However they’ve changed pies, now have teeny thick dry pastry pies, with dry ‘filling’ fairly tasty, presumably some ‘premium’ brand that have got it all wrong. Now I’m sure the defence will be high quality meat etc locally reared but if the pastry is too thick and the sauce inside all but gone then it doesn’t really do the quality of the meat any favours. And I don’t care about cost. I didn’t even notice if the price had gone up. I just don’t want to drive home and then be disappointed when I open what is normally an excellent takeaway. I’ll come again but back to the fish for me

Had fish, chips, mushy peas & curry sauce. Not tasted anything like them before. Freshly cooked, chips thin crispy on the outside, fluffy delicious flavour potatoes, cod perfectly cooked in a light crispy batter, peas & curry sauce just the right consistency. Well worth the money, absolutely delicious

Fish chips and peas special was lovely tasted so nice and price was excellent but the owner went the extra mile and gave me some free bin bags for muddy hikers clothes and boots we where picking up as we couldn’t find a shop xxx

We visited on one of the Matlock Bath Illuninations nights. It was busy but we managed to find a seat, sharing a table with another family. Excellent Fish and Chips here and large portions too. My wife had the mini fish and chips and it was plenty - the fish was larger than some ordinary portions at other shops. Service is friendly and good.

We visit occasionally and whilst it’s not as good as our local chippy, in the past it has generally been ok. Not sure whether it has changed hands, but today we were quite disappointed. The chips were quite anaemic, oversized and not particularly tasty. We asked for a small fish and I’m not sure what it was but it was tasteless. We had a large chips to share, small fish, a mince beef onion pie and large gravy which came to £14, which we don’t think was particularly good value for money. Only went in because our local doesn’t open on Wednesdays, probably won’t bother again.

Me and my sons went for fish and chips very friendly staff the food was excellent 👌 will definitely be going back the fish was very fresh and the batter was very crispy 👌

Not sure why this has only 3.5 stars ? Has the chippy recently changed ownership? Genuinely the best Haddock and chips , mushy peas snd curry sauce for miles around. The Haddock and chips were both cooked to perfection - and the batter was thin crispy and tasty - equally delicious! Very generous portion sizes especially the sizes of haddock we were given. If your visiting Bakewell and fancy some top quality British staple fare then Riverside is a must try!

Normally very good but unable to book a table on their website for a birthday. We are very local, looks closed up and no cars in the car park every time we pass.
