Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the fish and chips here, praising the white fish and large cod alongside generous portions. Several call the food traditional, classic and piping hot, and one diner who tried a chips, spring roll and curry sauce order and another with chips, pie and peas found both extremely tasty. Close behind is the friendly, smiley team that serves quickly, and a few say they would be regulars if they lived closer or have been eating here for decades. Reviewers also mention reasonable prices, though one finds the cod on the expensive side and still rates another Derby shop above it. The chips draw the criticism. One longtime customer says a bag was extremely greasy and more like scraps after two disappointing visits, and another was not keen on them despite great staff. A reviewer who can no longer visit misses their Friday fish dinner and wishes the shop were on a delivery app.

“Good sized portions of large cod and chips . Bit on the expensive side compared to others as £13 for cod. Food was hot and tasty. One of the better ones we've tried in Derby but Oakwood still the winner 🏆.”

“Went into Shelton Lock chip shop at 12:15 today but a bag of chips well I thought they were chips but they really were scraps and The chips were extremely greasy. Didn’t taste right at all. This chip shop used to be a really good chip shop. I would drive right across Derby to come to the chip shop but unfortunately the last two times I’ve been there I’ve had bad food so I won’t be going back again.”

“We visit a relative in Stenson about every 6 weeks. Over the last few years we have tried just about all Fish and Chips in the area and this place has become one of our reliable goto take aways. Always good quality, decent portions and a reasonable price. Hope it stays this way. 😊”
