Whether you’re looking for a quick takeaway for a night off from cooking or somewhere to sit in with friends, we’ve found a place that will suit you.
So, enjoy our round up of the best fish and chips in Nottingham and we hope you find your new favourite!
The Cod’s Scallop
A rare find for a fish and chip shop; at the Cod’s Scallop, you can choose from over 20 types of fish daily – all cooked fresh to order – and decide if you want it baked, battered or naked. The Cod’s Scallop in Nottingham was also voted best fish and chips in the UK in 2020, beating out stiff competition from a number of seaside towns. It’s a great place for groups to enjoy a casual dining-in experience, although they do also offer delivery. They don’t currently take reservations so you may have to wait for a table, but one look at their menu and you’re sure to find it’s worth the wait.

George’s
It’s a little bit further afield but George’s fish and chips is some of the best in Nottingham so we simply had to include it! The glowing reviews indicate that by eating at George’s you’ll be in for some delicious, well-presented and freshly cooked food – which can also be enjoyed on their mouth-watering Instagram page.

Collegiate’s recommendation: Best for takeaway after a day out
Moulin Rouge
We’ll be upfront and say this place is very far removed from the French cabaret that you’d typically associate with the Moulin Rouge! However, this Nottingham institution has been offering up traditional fish and chips in the city centre for over 40 years, so they’re clearly doing something right. Conveniently placed in Trinity Square, it’s a great stop off for a late night bite or after a night out in Nottingham.

Collegiate’s recommendation: Best for a late takeaway
Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem
Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem is one of those spots in Nottingham you simply have to visit while you’re living in the city – and it’s just a 15-minute walk from our Nottingham Trent University accommodation. It claims to be the oldest inn in the UK, and they’ve stayed true to its traditional roots with old, yet charming decor and low ceilings. It’s also a cosy spot for some of the best fish and chips in Nottingham. Here you can choose from a regular portion or the ‘big’ fish and chips – which is ale battered cod and triple cooked chips – and we’re inclined to recommend the latter!

Collegiate’s recommendation: Best for fish and chips with a beer
Sea Fish
Not only does Sea Fish offer up some delicious traditional fish and chip dishes, but you’ve also got a whole menu of delights to choose from. From gourmet burgers (including a vegan option) and fresh pies to Greek gyros and southern fried chicken freshly cooked in their own breaded coating – there’s something to suit most tastes here. Unfortunately, they don’t deliver but it’s only a short drive or roughly a 25-minute walk away.
