Nottingham Fish and Chips: Shops, Prices and Opening Hours

Top TripAdvisor score: 4.9 of 5 from 230 reviews, Oakdale Chippy (TripAdvisor (review platform)) · The Cod’s Scallops on Google: 4.5 from 575 reviews, dated 2021-10-13 (Collegiate Student News (student publication)) · Andy’s Fish & Chips: 4.3 of 5 from 85 reviews (TripAdvisor (review platform)) · Bestwood Fisheries: 4.8 out of 5, first in the 2025 Google-rated list (Nottingham World (local news))

Eight facts anchor this guide, one pattern: the ratings and addresses are the best-sourced details, while prices and hours rest on thinner evidence.

Which Nottingham fish and chips shops are rated best?

Ratings look like a clean ladder until you check where each number comes from. Oakdale Chippy leads the TripAdvisor figures at 4.9 of 5, while Nottingham World’s 2025 Google-rated list puts Bestwood Fisheries first at 4.8 out of 5 (Nottingham World (local news)).

Six listings, one pattern: scores cluster between 4.1 and 4.9, but the review counts behind them run from 13 to 5,002.

How do the rating platforms differ?

• Nottingham World’s 2023 round-up gave Oakdale Chippy 5 out of 5 from 200 reviews, which does not match TripAdvisor’s 4.9 from 230 (Nottingham World (local news)).
• The Cod’s Scallops appears at 4.9 according to ThreeBestRated (directory), at 4.5 from 575 Google reviews in a 2021 article (Collegiate Student News (student publication)), and at 4.5 from 1,609 reviews according to Wanderlog (travel guide).
• Nottingham World’s 2025 Google-rated list places The Cod’s Scallops at 4.5 and Fish Xpress second at 4.8 (Nottingham World (local news)).

Which shops do reviewers name?

• Nottingham Post’s April 2021 TripAdvisor top five ranked Oakdale Chippy first (Nottingham Post (local news)).
• Fish Xpress on Broxtowe Lane holds 4.8 from 752 reviews, according to Wanderlog (travel guide).
• A Restaurantji (restaurant directory) listing reportedly shows Bestwood Fisheries at 4.9 from 611 reviews, while ThreeBestRated lists it at 4.8.

What do Nottingham fish and chips cost?

Prices are the weakest part of the evidence. Most figures below come from one directory, ThreeBestRated (directory), and none has been checked against the shop’s own menu.

Ten listed prices, one pattern: the cheapest figure is also the oldest, and portion size and fish type drive most of the gap.

What does a standard cod and chips cost?

• George’s Tradition lists a Small Cod & Chips at £8.90 and a Large Cod & Chips at £11.05, according to ThreeBestRated (directory).
• The Cod’s Scallops lists a Regular Cod at £7.00 and a Large Cod at £9.20, according to ThreeBestRated (directory).
• Hungry Horse’s Waters Edge pub includes its Classic Fish & Chips in a Monday to Friday deal offering two dishes for the price of one (Hungry Horse (pub chain menu)).

Why do prices differ between shops?

• Fish type changes the figure: Bestwood Fisheries lists Cod at £8.95 and Haddock at £8.85 in the same listing (ThreeBestRated (directory)).
• Date changes it most: Oakdale’s large cod and chips at £5.30 comes from a Nottingham Post ranking published in April 2021 (Nottingham Post (local news)).

What is on the Nottingham fish and chips takeaway menu?

The supplied sources contain no full takeaway menu for any named shop. What exists is a set of dishes, deals and descriptions that show how each shop sells its food.

Which sides and sauces are listed?

• The Cod’s Scallops serves home-made pies and seasonal specials, according to Fish-shops.co.uk (shop directory).
• Oakdale’s 15in pizza box deal feeds a family of five for £25.19 (Nottingham World (local news)).
• No sides or sauces are confirmed for any named shop in the supplied sources.

Are takeaway menus published online?

• Hungry Horse publishes a fish and chips menu page for its Waters Edge pub (Hungry Horse (pub chain menu)).
• Bestwood Fisheries lists click and collect, according to ThreeBestRated (directory).
• Nottingham World’s 2023 round-up says Oakdale allows online ordering with delivery (Nottingham World (local news)).

The pattern: only one named menu page appears in the supplied sources, so most menu detail here comes from directories rather than the shops themselves.

Where are the nearest Nottingham fish and chips shops?

Addresses are the most consistent detail in the supplied sources, though none gives a distance to Nottingham Train Station. A placement of Carringtons outside Broad Marsh and Nottingham Train Station has no supporting link in the research, so this guide does not repeat it.

Which shops are close to Nottingham Train Station?

• Moulin Rouge is at 5 Trinity Square, Nottingham NG1 4AF (Nottingham World (local news)).
• A Nottingham.co.uk (local directory) listing gives The Foodhouse’s address as 8 St. James’s Street, Nottingham NG1 6FG, though the entry shows 0 reviews.
• No supplied source gives a walking distance from any shop to the station.

Which shops are in the NG6 postcode area?

• No supplied source with a link places a named shop in NG6.
• Oakdale Chippy’s address is 106 Oakdale Rd, NG3 7EH (Nottingham World (local news)), and The Cod’s Scallops is at 170 Bramcote Lane, NG8 2QP, according to ThreeBestRated (directory), so neither falls in NG6.

The implication: a postcode search can miss shops outside the city core, so check the full address against a map before setting off.

When are Nottingham fish and chips shops open, and do they deliver?

Opening hours are the least settled detail. Listings give exact times, but according to ThreeBestRated (directory), most of those times come from aggregators of unknown date.

What are typical opening hours?

• The Cod’s Scallops: Monday to Thursday 11:30am to 9pm, Friday and Saturday 11:30am to 9:30pm, closed Sunday, according to ThreeBestRated (directory). Collegiate Student News (student publication) gives the same weekday and weekend split.
• Bestwood Fisheries: Monday to Thursday 11:30am to 2pm and 4:30pm to 9:30pm, Friday and Saturday 11:30am to 10pm, closed Sunday, according to ThreeBestRated (directory).
• George’s Tradition: Monday to Saturday 11:30am to 10pm and Sunday 11:30am to 8pm, according to ThreeBestRated (directory).
• Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem: Monday to Friday 11am to 11pm, per Collegiate Student News (student publication).

Which shops offer delivery?

• Oakdale Chippy offers online ordering with delivery, per Nottingham World (local news).
• The Cod’s Scallops offers delivery, according to Collegiate Student News (student publication).
• Bestwood Fisheries offers delivery and click and collect, according to ThreeBestRated (directory).
• Sea Fish does not deliver, per Collegiate Student News (student publication) and, according to its list, Wanderlog (travel guide).

The catch: a delivery tag in a directory is not the same as a live ordering link, so confirm the channel before you pay.

Confirmed facts and what’s unclear

Confirmed facts

• Oakdale Chippy holds 4.9 of 5 on TripAdvisor from 230 reviews (TripAdvisor (review platform)).
• Carringtons Fish & Chips holds 4.1 of 5 on TripAdvisor from 45 reviews (TripAdvisor (review platform)).
• Sea Fish does not deliver, per Collegiate Student News (student publication).
• Moulin Rouge is at 5 Trinity Square, Nottingham NG1 4AF (Nottingham World (local news)).

What’s unclear

• The Cod’s Scallops rating varies: 4.9 according to ThreeBestRated (directory), 4.5 in Collegiate’s 2021 article, and 4.5 according to Wanderlog (travel guide).
• Current prices for any named shop, since no verified price list was supplied.
• Current opening hours, since the listings carry no verified date.
• Carringtons’ street address, since the sources give a rating but no address.
• The method behind the listicle scores, since the research does not explain how they were set.
• Bestwood Fisheries’ reported rating of 4.9 from 611 reviews on Restaurantji (restaurant directory), against 4.8 elsewhere.

What this means: ratings and addresses are the firmest ground here, while prices and hours need a menu check or a phone call.

What reviewers say

Reviewer praise adds colour, but each quote is one person’s opinion about one shop.

“We think that Andy’s is the finest place for fish and chips in the area.”

Reviewer quoted by Nottingham Post (local news)

“Best fish and chips I’ve had in ages.”

Reviewer quoted by Nottingham Post (local news)

“The best in Nottingham.”

Customer review quoted by Restaurantji (restaurant directory)

The implication: praise like this points a reader toward a shop worth checking, not proof that it beats its rivals.

Before you order

The ratings hold up best across sources, while prices and delivery terms still depend on each shop’s own page. Oakdale Chippy leads the TripAdvisor figures, but no named shop has a verified current menu in the supplied material. A diner who checks hours and menus on the shop’s own page will avoid ordering against a price or opening time that the listings may have wrong.
