The Village Chippy in High Peak

I’m visiting the area and decided to treat myself to a chippy tea. I looked on the price list and saw that chilli and chips were on offer at £3.95! I thought “I’m having some of that”. At my local chippy it’s more than double the price. It took a while to cook because it wasn’t a usual item which people were ordering. It was a Friday so it was quite busy and a heck of a lot of fish were being freshly cooked. The owner and the lady helping him were really busy but they still had the ability to talk to me whilst putting my order together. I explained that I was just visiting the area and asked where I could find certain places. They were both more than helpful. Got my tea home and it was DELICIOUS! Thank you for a tasty tea. I cannot believe the prices you are charging, definitely good value for money.

The best fish and chips in the realm! I have been five times now it's been great every time. The interior design is very charming in the indoor eating area, it takes me back to the 19th century. And it only cost 7 quid.

Amazing place. Great food at a reasonable price. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back when we are in the area

Friendly local business, freshly cooked fish, moist and tasty.

Good quality fish and chips at a fair price. It suited all of our group (aged 3-70) down to a T. Choice of haddock or cod on the fish menu and lots of other usual chippy fare - pies, sausages etc. If I were walking home after a long day on Kinder this is where I would go to refuel.

A good old fashioned English chip shop - everything (more or less) cooked to order. The bonus is that you can also eat your food indoors in the free to use eating area

The finest fish in the the northern realms!

Delicious fish and chips freshly cooked owner friendly let us sit in dining room. Reasonable priced. Hope Hayfield continue with chippy. Thanks again.

Whenever I've been, which is probably four or five times, everything has been freshly cooked for me. Good fish, nice batter, good chips. Other people have mentioned that the owner is a bit eccentric. This is possibly the case but I've never had a problem with him. Note that it is cash only, if you only have a card you'll have to go over the road to the Post Office.

A must visit lovely chap good service chips are excellent

Best fish, chips and gravy I've had for a long time. Fish cooked fresh. Wished it was my local. Smashing bloke as well.

Fries: quite good, but not the best ever (as some reviewers suggest) Fish: good quality fish, but very greasy. Nice owner. Be aware that this is a cash only shop. I got money from the store just across the road, so no problem in the end. You pay 5 pounds for either haddock or cod and 2 pounds for a portion of chips.

Excellent chippy. The sausage chips and gravy are excellent value and some of the best chip shop chips I've had for a long time.

Great local chippy excellent Fish and Chips

Best chips I have ever had and only £2

Couldn't get in anywhere to eat (well it is Christmas week) and the lovely man in the Chippy saved our lives. Welcoming & friendly plus great fish. Just the job.

Amazingly fresh fish, such tasty chips! Reckon this was the best dish and chips I've ever had.

Good chippy at Hayfield. Worth the 5 stars.

Called into this chippy whilst visiting the village!! The chips best I've ever taste!!! Next time I go I'm having a proper meal!! Very well done owner!!!

Lovely freshly cooked fish and chips. Very reasonably priced.

Come down here whenever the chippy is open, very good quality fish and chips done with amazing service.

Brilliant very tasty freshly made

Great chippy, excellent service. We forgot our fish through talking. The owner brought it to us at the nearby camping and caravan club site, even though there is no delivery service.

Staying on the nearby Campsite, and fancied some fish & chips, so visited the local chippy..... and wished I hadn't upon being told they had no haddock, settled for a jumbo battered sausage, chips and gravy The chips were awful, rock hard and overcooked, the gravy was tepid & lumpy, and the sausage was undercooked, and coated in a batter which tasted burnt and which was as nearly awful as the chips. AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!! (I highly recommend the nearby Italian, we went the next night and the staff were friendly, helpful and the food was far superior)

Haddock & Chips...Great quality and a good size. Lovely food! Cheers

Great little fish and chip shop. Fast service and quite busy. We had the special (fishcake chips peas £2.99) real potatoes makes all the difference but was quite salty. We did ask for salt and vinegar but had we known it was going to be as salty would have not had added salt. Very reasonable prices.

Ordered haddock and chips but only had cod. Chips very hard, a little over cooked. Cod was fine, batter crispy but the oil needed changing as it tasted very fatty and was very yellow not pale. It was doused in salt and vinegar which still couldn’t hide the dirty oil taste unfortunately. I wouldn’t bother again

Very good fish,chips and curry sauce, bloke behind the counter very miserable and annoyed to have customers

Delicious fish and chips done from fresh very tasty reasonable priced. Owner was a friendly local guy would go again if visiting Hayfield.

Spot on, worth coming 105 miles for.

Read the recent reviews and we nearly thought twice about going but we did and we’re not disappointed! Chips fresh out the fryer and we’re not greasy, even the battered sausage was not greasy. We would recommend this chippy without hesitation

Excellent food, excellent staff, fairly priced food - definitely worth a visit 👍🏻

Great fish and chips in the sunshine

The food was utterly disappointing. Way too fat and lacking flavour. Service was extremely slow. I’m not returning to the chippy

Set in the heart of Hayfield this little fish and chip shop cooks everything fresh to order. Good sized portions and reasonably priced. An asset to the village. Only downside is restricted opening hours and when we visited was closing at 7.30pm which for Southerners is very early for a chippy.

Fantastic grub the only one around

Visited Friday 30/08. I was staying in village with my Dad.They appear to cook everything to order but we’re having a problem with the range and one of the three pans was off. The place was not that busy but I had a long wait but I am discounting that because they were nice and very apologetic.I suspect the other pans weren’t as hot as they should have been and so things were also taking longer to cook.Chips were good as were peas but fish was very oily and not to my taste.I sense they have better nights.

This is the second time I have come across this chippy (at 2 different caravan sites) and BOTH times they were unable to provide me with the allergy information I needed to ensure my child was safe to eat it, despite having allergy posters up! Is it not illegal to sell food without being able to provide a list of ingredients? It’s bad enough to not provide the ingredients on our first visit..... but TWICE! It’s not good enough, and despite the apologies (although I heard the lady being rather cross with me under breath as I walked away), it meant that my children could not have the sausages and chips they wanted to have for their dinner that evening. Very annoying.

Had fish and chips, had change from a fiver!, fish freshly fried, only had to wait a few minutes. Very small portions, chips were poor, fish was ok, but would pass for a 'mini's fish elsewhere. Get what you pay for I guess.

Not a patch on what it used to be ,very disappointing chips sad fish not very good ,it doesn’t seem as popular as it was a while ago,

Ratty owner & tiny portions. Charged for a large tiny portion

Went to The Village Chippy had fish, chips and peas really lovely enjoyed it very much, made fresh to order.

We ordered a number of fish with two large chips and a fish cake. We all enjoyed our meals and although the fish didn’t have a lot of batter on (their preference), it was fresh and tasty!

While on a 16 mile walk from Chapel en le Frith to Old Glossop I happened upon the chippy at lunchtime.As I was looking for a take away I was most grateful that the owner let me sit in the seating area as it looked like rain.I found the found delicious and good value.

Decent fish and chips, and a room to eat them in, what's not to like?

We waited over 30 minutes for our food which was a great disappointment,having read the reviews. Shame it could have so much potential

Lovely chips. curry sauce highly recommend. Clean well kept. Staff great.

Really friendly place, can sit in and eat. Even gave the dogs a free sausage!

Lovely chips from Hayfield Chippy bit overpriced not sure if this is tourist price £2.00 large chips. Would try their fish and chips next in the area.

We called in towards the end of a quiet lunchtime & put in an order for the family! We had to wait a few minutes for the food as we had fish, & it was well worth the wait! The lady behind the counter was really friendly & chatted while we waited! It looked really nice & clean, even the tiles were sparkling. The food was great, hot & fresh! Brilliant chippy.

Visited this evening after dropping my son at football nearby and waited 30 minutes for 2 portions of chips with gravy and a pie. The chippy was busy on arrival and everyone in front of us had been served we waited 25 minutes to be served and even then the staff who to be fair were working hard had no idea who was next. The main issue appeared to be only frying for one order at a time and sometimes not even enough chips were cooked to complete the orders waiting meaning that they were part ready and then waiting again. Once prepared the food was literally thrown into the bag resulting in it spilling a lot of the gravy as seen on the photo. In our opinion travel the extra few minutes on to Chinley where you will find a fantastic chippy we won’t be returning to this one.

Ate here one night - they have a little side room where you can actually sit and eat although it seemed to cause a little surprise that we wanted to do that, but everyone was very friendly and we had a lovely fish and chips, cooked as we waited. Not open Monday and closes early (7:30pm) other days so check times if you want to eat later.

Asked for large chips, owner couldn’t be bothered putting more chips in charged me for large but only gave me a normal portion. If that’s how you treat the regulars I hope the business goes under soon. I won’t be eating again from there. Food wasn’t that good either...standard

Good chip shop with limited hours. Doesn't open Monday need to be served by 2000 Tuesday and Wednesday not sure about other nights. It's popular and always seems busy. A generous portion cooked whilst you wait. Well worth a visit.

Well cooked food. Cooks fish on order so a little wait involved but worth the wait. Friendly service.

Nice food, all pies were fresh, pie, chips, peas and gravy £4, I took it back to my bat cave, at the campsite , not a crumb was wasted, :-)

We enjoyed our takeaway fish and chips very much. The fish was fresh with beautifully crisp, tasty batter and and the chips were lovely too. Top eating!

Had fish chips and peas and it is highly recomended will call again

Changed hands a few months ago. The chips have recently improved as they were under cooked in the past but the portions are still on the small side. The batter on the fish is very thick - which is nice if you like that but not if you don’t! Fish is also on the small side. Steak and kidney puddings are good.

Fantastic. I travel miles for their fish.

We went in with another family. All the kids are mid to late teens. for £7 a head we had fish and chips, a side, bread & butter and a mug of tea (all included). And to be honest the fish and chips where pretty. We had a good experience that didn't break the bank. All left happy

Simply the best chippy I've sampled to date!

Needs to open regularly and constantly hours. New management hope it happens.

Great fish n chips. Proper crispy and not too greasy. Portions are generous. As good as Bizzy Lizzies of Skipton!

Great chippy with homemade pies and puddings. Has cafe for sit down option. Limited parking behind on pub Car park. Shame it only opens between 430-8pm but not on mondays

2nd Sep, Walked for 20 minutes from the C&C site to find that it was closed, post office opposite informed us that is had closed indefinitely

Once in a while it’s great to give yourself a night off from calorie counting and have a fish supper, so long as you choose the right plaice, (Sorry, had to.) The other cold, wet, windy, August Saturday evening we just fancied cheering ourselves up with some good old Northern comfort food, so we tried out ‘The Village Chippy” in Hayfield, High Peak, Derbyshire – which is under relatively new management and it is vastly improved. They have about half a dozen formica topped tables for patrons who prefer to dine-in. It was 7:35pm and they close at 8pm; the place was empty and the Lady in charge of the fryer had just whipped just off her pinny when we arrived; but she was so welcoming and hospitable, nothing was too much trouble as she ushered us to our table by the widow. It’s a very neat, clean and tidy looking little dinning room and the chairs are quite comfy. I chose Haddock, chips, mushy peas, bread and butter and a lovely pot of good strong tea. The batter on my chunky, juicy piece of Haddock was exceptionally light and fluffy. It was utterly scrumptious and the chips were perfect: Crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside - to pilfer a phrase from Gregg Wallace. My companion ordered the same, but couldn’t resist adding gravy and chip-shop curry sauce. So, all in all, fish, chips, mushy peas, bread and butter and a pot of tea, twice, plus gravy and curry sauce - dining in, came to just under £15. What's not to like.

Great village chippy. All the food here is lovely. The staff make an special effort to ensure the food is prepared/cooked just how you like it.

Lovely village chippy, food is great and the seated area is welcome when I've cycled there from near Warrington

Chips great tasting but I had a dried up meat and potato pie. They ran out of steak puddings but a nearby table had one and it didn't look any better than my pie. Partner had the fish and said it was delicious. Mushy pees were good too. Chips cooked in dripping. Seated area for eating in with waitress table service is a nice touch.

The chip shop is a wonderful addition to the village. Offering lots of delicious food with an indoor seating area. Always visit and we'll recommended

Now retired after many years in the industry catching fish for retail sale I am very critical about the way the product is presented to customers. The Village Chippy does not disappoint me. The fish was excellent; frozen at sea (the best) and with lovely thin batter. Good service and sensible prices. Thank you!

Hands down the best chippy in a 30 mile radius #yumyum

Called in today for lunch had fish chips peas lunchtime special was brilliant if your passing call in you won't be disappointed great service and great food.

Great chippy,the fish tasted really fresh,nice meal for me and my son.

Had lunch here with my Dad last week, ate in. He had a senior special fish, chips and peas and bread and butter and tea for £5.00 and I had chips and curry sauce and tea, total bill £8.50. The food was delicious , the service was with a smile and the curry sauce , well that was the best I have ever had from a chip shop. Huge portions, very good value, I will definitely go again.

Really pleased to have found this "traditional" chippy. Even the Senior Citizens special was generous, including bread/butter and a drink. Our overall bill came to less than we would have paid for a single equivalent meal nearby. Our food was quickly prepared and reminded us of the fish and chips we had when much younger. As an aside, it was amusing to listen in to the banter with local people. Overall, a good experience.

An excellent 'traditional' fish and chip shop with a small dining room, service and food were excellent. Cooking fish and chips in beef dripping is a real art, this place manages it superbly. Would not hesitate to recommend and to visit again.

A must have Friday night feast. Friendly service in a lovely village. Traditional, typically English chippy.

This chip shop doesn't cater for vegetarians as everything is cooked in beef dripping - from the chips to the fish. Please include a veggie option!!!!!

the service is quite slow, there seems to be no logical thought about putting the order together. the food is nice enough, would definitely recommend the curry sauce!

Headed here for some quick fish and chips for myself and 5 friends who were camping up the road. Not expecting much, we were absolutely blown away by the quality of the food and and the chips were just stunning.

Lovely fish and chips, if we had been staying longer would try the home made pies. Would be sure to visit again.

Sat in restaurant had fish & chip supper with bread and butter, mushy peas & mug of tea at a brilliant price of £6.50 each absolutely lovely.

We found this chip shop by chance ,and we were not disappointed!!The two ladies cooking ,and serving were friendly and cheerfull.We brought some chips to eat alongsice the river in the mermorial garden.Perfect picnic with lovely hot chips would certainly go again if in the area.

Lovely little chippy in the village with a seating area.
