Markeaton Fish - Derby

Food is dreadful Can’t believe people eat there Staff grumpy and unprofessional I will never be back

Bought fish,chips and sausages for a family meal. We took them into the park and had a late afternoon picnic. Couldn't fault the meal.

We’ve used this fish and chip shop for 20 years and it was consistently excellent until the introduction of Deliveroo, Just Eat etc. As a walk-in customer, you are now a second class citizen, as 90% of their attention goes to preparing home delivery orders and once your order is taken and paid for, you are simply left to wait. We stood for 20 minutes before getting our food, from the point of order and payment. Once we got our food home, the meal was totally inconsistent. The fish was great, piping hot and fresh, chips were soggy and lukewarm and the mushy peas were so cold, they needed microwaving. (We live less than 5 minutes from the shop) If our meal was that inconsistent, I dread to think what the home delivery orders were like, as we saw them sitting on the counter for ten or fifteen minutes, awaiting the constant stream of delivery drivers. That means that your home delivery will have been cooked at least 20 to 30 minutes or more, before it reaches your door! Too busy to care about the walk in customer any more, so will have to find an alternative, which is a great pity as this was the best chippy in the area.

We had 2 Breast of chicken chips and curry sauce. It was the best chicken I’ve had for a long time The breast of the chicken was well cooked, lovely and moist and of a good size. The shop was extremely clean and laid out with a fantastic variety to choose from including kebabs and pizzas. The service was excellent and very polite and helpful.

We have been coming to this establishment for four years and cannot fault the fish and chips. Always cooked fresh. Great service and friendly welcome. Well done keep up the great work!
