If you want some really good Fish & Chips without the trail to Whitby , try the Kingisher Calder Grove near the M1 jnt 39
No connection with the place (get it) just a customer passing on info wink

The chips look crap, the fish is too small, and the mushy peas are too watery.

Fail. Fail. Fail.

Peas in a separate little pot - far too poncy.

I'm glad you enjoyed them though OP.

Those chips could do with a trip to the beach for a bit of a tan

Looks like the sort of sanitised version of fish and chips that southerners love to eat, served on a fancy plate with a tidy little pot of peas and a pretentious slice of lemon.

Wheres the cheapo tray and the naff wooden fork? Or the stty greaseproof paper that rips away all the batter so you have to get down and dirty and lick it off.

Must be a beef-dripping-fried Northern chip on your shoulder?

Looks nice I find MASSIVE portions of fish offputting though mushy peas in a pot is a no-no for me.

Having moved to Nottingham from Manchester I have noticed there's a mix of North and South going on in their chippies.

You can get chips and gravy. And a savaloy.

"And what's a savaloy?" to quote the Macc Lads.

So, to maximise your culinary choice, stop a bit further down the M1 - J26 should do it.

Cheers for that, will try. Agree the Magpie is not as good as it used to be I used to go just for the lunch which was a 200 mile round trip driving

Disagree on Magpie's form. It's consistently good, always busy, decent value if you go for the fish platter and Their battered salmon is a winner.

The chips are good too.

There is a brilliant chippy a few streets back which I also think is excellent. I can't remember the name but they do crinkle cut chips and it has a blue front.

That plate of fish and chips does look a bit naff. I had some decent fish and chips the last time I was in Hawes in Yorkshire. Not that there much else to see/do/eat in Hawes.
