Reviews Overview

Most Liked

Customers rave about the crispy batter and fresh fish, calling it one of the best in Derby. The value for money is outstanding, with meals like mini fish and chips priced at just £6.50. The chicken kebabs receive high praise for their exceptional flavor, making them a solid choice alongside traditional offerings. The cosy, clean environment adds to the overall appeal, ensuring a pleasant takeaway experience. Regulars appreciate the friendly staff, who often suggest waiting for larger fish to be fried fresh while you’re in the queue, ensuring you get the best possible meal.

Most Disliked

While many love Sussex Circus Fish Bar, a few guests mentioned occasional waits during peak hours, especially on Fridays at 6 PM when the place hits full capacity. Some diners also expressed a desire for more seating options, as the casual setup may not accommodate larger groups during busy times. However, these concerns seem minor compared to the overall positive dining experience. Another point raised is the limited menu offerings for those seeking something beyond the classic fish and chips or kebabs, though the focus on quality over quantity has its own charm.

In my view these are the best fish and chips in this part of Derby. It's a traditional fish and chip shop, though you can get a kebab if you really want one. With fish and chips this good though why would you choose anything else. If you want a large fish, it's worth asking the friendly team to pop one in while you are in the queue since they don't always have some ready.

From working in and around Derby, I've tried a few chip shops over the years in the city. After recommendation from a work colleague about Sussex Circus I decided next time I'm in the area I would call in. I'm so glad I did this is the best one by far. The fish was tasty and the batter was just right, chips were also cooked perfectly for me. The prices are very good in my opinion as so many other chip shops have gone up a lot in recent times. This is definitely my go to chippy if I'm around Derby ... cannot recommend enough !! Well done Sussex Circus Fish Bar.
