Quick info
About Matlock Fish Bar
Matlock Fish Bar is a family-run fish and chips takeaway in Matlock, at 19 Causeway Ln, with a large indoor seating area for customers who want to eat on site rather than carry food out. Orders are paid for at the counter, and the food is then brought to the table. The menu is built around fish and chips served with mushy peas, with chips and gravy as another option. Steamed plain fish is also on the list for those who want it without batter. The team clears tables as customers leave, so the seating area stays ready for the next group. Orders can also be placed by phone.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the fish and chips at this chippy, with friendly staff and quick service close behind. One diner found the steamed plain fish with a jacket potato and mushy peas cooked perfectly, a useful option for digestive issues. Others single out chunky chips with thick gravy, a steak pudding with chips and gravy, and chips with chilli con carne. Several note food arriving almost as soon as they paid, plenty of indoor seating and clean tables. The criticism is specific. One couple found the haddock tasteless and the chips only slightly better, and another reviewer disliked the jumbo sausage special, found the scampi red, and noted that a sign promising breakfast all day did not hold true. A further reviewer felt staff did not smile and called the fish nothing special. Against that, several describe being served with a smile, and one says their food was brought to the table just after they sat down.

“Reasonable prices and friendly efficient service. A lot of indoor seating available. Food was nicely cooked and portions were enough to keep hunger at bay. Nice thick gravy just the thing with their chunky chips.”

“My wife and myself decided to eat here instead of matlock bath biggest mistake when we went in they was no one else in but the staff was friendly we had to wait for the fish no cod ready only haddock but we didn't mind we'd rather wait and know it's freshly cooked plus we prefer cod so a good start waited a few minutes and when it came it went downhill fish was not good at all tasteless was probably the worst fish we have ever had 2 out of ten chips a bit better mushy peas ok we go into a lot of fish restaurants this was the worst we will never go back. This is a honest review .”
