Best KPortal Reviews

Excellent fish and chip bar. Opted for cod and chips with curry sauce, and was not disappointed. The fish was so big it was hanging over the edges of the plate. Very crisp batter and not greasy. Piping hot, as it was freshly cooked.
My wife can't eat fish due to an allergy, so she opted for the jacket potato with beans. Again, it was served piping hot and the potato was cooked all the way through.
Excellent staff, very friendly.
Highly recommended.
Highly Recommended.
This was by far, the best fish and chips I have ever had. The fish was fresh, batter was crispy but not greasy, and the chips came in a decent portion size! You will not go hungry if you choose to eat here.
Staff were lovely too!
The menu is comprehensive and there is something on there for almost everyone, at a fair price too.
I'm running out of superlatives.
Matlock Bath is awash with fish and chip takeaways and restaurants, but we opted for Charles, having read one review where the reviewer said it was the best fish he’d ever had.
I’m going to have to echo that. The haddock was perfect, the batter was light and delicious, and the portions were excellent. My wife opted for the half fish half scampi, and was equally impressed. Her curry sauce was the nicest she’d had from any chippy and my mushy peas were very good too.
Some reviews say the prices are a bit steep. We found the prices on a par with what we’d expect to pay. Plus, the restaurant is licensed, so if you fancy a beer or a glass of wine with your meal, way to go.
Myself and The wife decided to eat and drink in there Friday night. We were not disappointed and made to feel welcome as soon as we walked through the door. Thankyou for the great service and tasty food, and we just loved the seaside type feel of the place. We will recommend this lovely and lively place to anyone and we shall be back.

Neat place, friendly staff and great food cooked to order.
Has bar if you want alcoholic drink. Outdoor seating with canopy.
Has rooms to rent but I haven't stayed as I only live 45mins away.
Highly recommend!
Very friendly service and great food. Had chips and mushy peas sandwich, proper thick bread, well buttered. Old school. Family had fish and chips and loved them. All downed with a pint of lager. Going to the toilets, it was like time travel to the 70s, but in a good way. Fancy decor and toilet holders. We'd never noticed it before with the other chippies more prominent, but we needed somewhere dog friendly, and it certainly is!
Rooms not applicable as only went for lunch but the food was fantastic and a pot of coffee and Tea meant we have more than one cup which was fantastic. Lovely staff too.
Great fish and chips, it's cooked perfectly and the piece of fish is sizeable, thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the staff are lovely.
