About Market Place Fish & Chip Restaurant ASHBOURNE

Market Place Fish & Chip Restaurant sits on Market Place in Ashbourne, serving fish and chips for walk-in orders with table service inside and at a few outdoor tables. Haddock & chips, battered sausage & chips, and a chip butty with curry sauce round out the menu, alongside salad pittas and mushy peas, with curry sauce a frequent accompaniment. From Monday to Thursday, the kitchen prepares gluten-free fish and chips in a separate, labelled fryer with its own gluten-free vinegar, so customers avoiding gluten have a dedicated option rather than a modified version of the standard fryer batch. Portions run large, often enough for two to share. An OAP special brings in regulars. The cafe fills up around midday with a mix of diners eating in and those seated outside. The entrance has steps.

Customer Review Summary

Fish and chips draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly calling the cod fresh, the batter crisp, and the portions generous enough that one family of four couldn't finish a large chips. Close behind, the chip butty with curry sauce and the battered sausage and chips get singled out as standouts, and gluten free diners note a separate fryer with labeled boxes and dedicated GF vinegar available certain weekdays. Several also mention the OAP special drawing regulars in at lunchtime. Staff come up again and again as friendly and attentive, with one reviewer describing a staff member staying with an elderly customer who struggled with the steps, and another noting an offered tip was turned down. Groups traveling or staying locally describe returning a second time during their trip. No recurring complaints appear across the reviews. The overall picture closes on repeat visits, families over-ordering without regret, and travelers planning to stop back in on future trips through the area.

    “Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time!!!! One large chips would’ve done me, the wife and 2 kids (8&4) we well over ordered! Cod was really nice, not too greasy and the battery was nice and crispy. Chips were chunky and fresh. Would definitely recommend 👌🏽”

    “Got two chip buttys with curry sauce and two cans. First time ever been here, £3.50 for a chip butty in 2026 is exceptionally good! Especially since they were absolutely divine!!!!! I’ve never had such a nice chip butty before and will definitely come back to try the fish! The customer service was absolutely out of this world. I told him I was just having a look and he went on to tell me about their menu, what everything included and what was most popular. When we were eating outside he even came out to greet an elderly man as I don’t think he could manage the steps, he asked for his order and while his colleague was making it, he stayed with him and talked to him. Such a lovely man who was on today, I’ve never experienced such a friendly environment like that before. 10/10 Food 10/10 Customer Service 10/10 Experience Will be back soon!”

    “My husband and I had the pleasure of dining here this afternoon. We were served by Loman, who was so delightful. He was welcoming and extremely pleasant and attentive. He made sure that we had everything that we wanted. And the fish, chips, mushy peas and curry sauce that we both had were excellent. Beautiful fresh fish and delicious chips were the best we've ever had. And the wonderful service from Loman made this a fantastic experience. Highly recommended. 5 stars!”

    “This place has the nicest staff ever. We were travelling and wanted to eat some fish and chips. we went in there and the atmosphere was very nice and the staff members were very kind. There was this one man i forgot to get his name but he was the nicest person I ever met. We tried giving him a tip but he refused. We would definitely revisit this place if we pass by again.”
