  “Spotlessly clean shop. The owner and staff always friendly and obliging. Always a good selection of pies, sausages ect and excellent fish and chips. Certainly the best I've found locally and well worth travelling across Kettering.”

  “Great Fish and Chips! Crunchy tasty batter with soft flaky fish on the inside and crispy and fluffy chips to boot! Best served with lashings and lashings of salt and non-brewed condiment!!”

  “MD’s Fish Bar: Where Fish & Chips Go to Win Awards and Steal Hearts MD’s Fish Bar in Kettering isn’t just a chippy – it’s a culinary institution. This is where cod becomes king, chips are crisped to golden perfection, and your waistline begs for mercy while your taste buds throw a party. If you’re not already planning your next meal here, you’re doing life wrong. Let’s talk about the fish. It’s not just fresh; it’s award-winning fresh. These fillets are so perfectly battered they could moonlight as supermodels on a fish catwalk. Golden, crunchy, and fried to absolute perfection, you’ll find yourself wondering if this is what happiness tastes like. And then there are the chips – thick, fluffy, and just the right level of salty. They’re the kind of chips that make you forget about kale forever. The menu doesn’t stop at fish and chips, though. Oh no, MD’s is here to cater to all your deep-fried dreams. From battered sausages that could convert even the fussiest eaters to pies that feel like a hug from your gran, there’s something for everyone. And if you’re feeling particularly fancy, the curry sauce is chef’s kiss – an essential dip for your chips (and maybe your fingers when no one’s looking). The portions? Generous. You’ll leave full, happy, and probably carrying a cheeky takeaway box because “it would be a crime to waste this.” And if you’re dining in, the atmosphere is pure “neighbourhood gem” – friendly, no-nonsense, and buzzing with the energy of people who know they’ve come to the right place. Oh, and don’t let the “award-winning” title intimidate you – MD’s isn’t snooty about it. They serve up their masterpieces with a smile, a friendly chat, and possibly the best vinegar-to-chips ratio known to humankind. MD’s Fish Bar is more than a meal; it’s an event. It’s the kind of place that makes you proud to be British because, honestly, who else could turn fried fish and potatoes into a national treasure? Five stars – and a deep-fried extra one for the curry sauce.”

  “I regularly buy fish and chips from here and they really are delicious. The fish is succulent, the batter light and crispy and the chips hot and tasty. The mushy peas are a good texture . I thoroughly enjoy the food from MD’s. Service …”

  “Best fish and chip shop in Kettering and one of the best in the country. There can be a line outside especially on Fridays which may put people off but the wait is certainly worth it. That is also a good sign for the ongoing popularity locally. Card and cash payments accepted. Staff are always friendly and courteous. There is a small inside area to wait whilst your order is prepared. Prices are reasonable and whilst they have risen recently with the ongoing cost in living they remain reasonable and competitive. No dedicated parking outside but there is a side road running adjacent for those coming by car. Children's and senior meals offered along with a small selection of drinks.”

  “I prefer crispy chips and we thought we'd be cheeky and see whether they were able to do this for us, they did not disappoint! The chips were amazing along with the fish, friendly and accommodating staff - will not hesitate to recommend. See you again soon...although I was hiding in the car keeping warm!”
