About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
  • Romantic
Welcome to The Fish & The Chip Restaurant & Cocktail Bar. A small family run, independent business that specialises in enjoyable food and great cocktails all served with a dollop of fun!
Our menu is a mixture of old school classics and street food influenced dishes. The Fish & The Chip is definitely not your average chippy! All of our batters are gluten free and we fry only using rapeseed oil. All of the dishes we serve (bar the sausages) are lovingly prepped and crafted from scratch in our kitchen. The same applies for all our desserts and ice creams. This allows us to be super allergen friendly and serve quality, fresh food without cheating!
To go alongside the food is our brilliantly fun cocktail list, whatever your tipple we've got it covered and are sure they'll hit the right spot! If you fancy learning how to shake and strain like the best of them book in for our cocktail masterclass!

    Great menu, service and pricing but unfortunately there is too much noise in the restaurant, so difficult to have a conversation. As the venue filled, the volume of people talking got extremely loud and the loud music didn't help. Couldn't wait to get out to go somewhere quieter to have a conversation without shouting over the table! (Fabrics and soft furnishings needed to absorb the volume!)

    Birthday celebration 7 guests Saturday night.. not very busy but music loud competing with loud cocktail party, so made it difficult to to converse. All fish dishes were dried out especially fish burger. Best bit excellent cocktails but two come 10 mins after others. No acknowledgement of b/day. Disappointed.

    Good attentive staff. Place lacked atmosphere and looked a little bland. Food was ok but we all felt that fresh fish n chips from a our local fishery would have been better. A little disappointed.

    Great experience from start to finish! Easy booking, via 'open Table'! Friendly and attentive staff. Tasty food at affordable prices. Good choice of cocktails / happy hour/ value for money. The restaurant could do with a bar/ seating area to enjoy drinks before the meal. Will definitely return!

    Great gluten free fish and chips and mushy peas - really helpful staff meant my coeliac daughter could go out and enjoy fish and chips with the family and no worry.

    Excellent cocktails and choice of veggie options for the veggie in our party. It would be good if there were some daily specials given the fine fish market we have in Leicester. Shame there weren’t more people in for a Saturday night
