Customer Review Summary
Fish with a light, crispy batter is what reviewers return for most, and several describe it as fresh and perfectly cooked, with fluffy, golden chips close behind. Portions are repeatedly called generous, and one reviewer singles out the kebab roll as full of flavour. Staff draw nearly as much praise as the food, described as friendly, welcoming and quick even when busy. A few note the shop is clean, and some mention outdoor picnic tables alongside a couple of seats inside. Reviewers who cook to order mention a little waiting time, and one says parking in the village can be a problem, with street spots nearby. The one negative review describes a thin piece of fish in a large portion, stale chips and a curry sauce they disliked. Another reviewer recalls cold chips being swapped for a fresh batch straight from the fryer, and a different one was given a small plate of chips while waiting.

“My lovely friend recommended that I try Groby Fish Bar and it was the best decision ever! I had an amazing experience here. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, they even introduced themselves , which me feel ver valued as a customer. The food, on the other hand, was fabulous! The chips were perfectly crispy and tasted amazing. I also loved the battered fish, it was fresh, crispy and absolutely delicious.

“Groby Fish & Chips is easily one of the best spots around for a proper, satisfying meal. The food is consistently excellent—crispy, golden batter on the fish, perfectly cooked chips, and generous portions that always hit the mark. You can really tell they care about quality and freshness. What truly makes this place stand out, though, is the staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and happy to help, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere every time you visit. Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time, you’re treated like a valued customer. Great food, great service, and a genuinely pleasant experience from start to finish—highly recommended!”
