What davesX5560NT doesn't like about Mcdermott's:
I'm disappointed with the current quality at this restaurant. The chips tasted like oven chips and the staff was very rude. If you're not happy in your job, it's best to move on. View all feedback. What ardenttraveller1964 likes about Mcdermott's:
This restaurant consistently serves the best fish and chips in the UK! I have traveled all over the country in search of the best fish and chips, and only a handful of places have compared to this establishment. I have been a loyal customer for years, even visiting their earlier branch in Croydon town center. Keep up the great work! View all feedback.

I'm not a great fan of fish and chips but this place is a cut above and the food is amazing. Takeaway is just as good.

McDermott's Fish and Chips has garnered a reputation that swings between excellence and inconsistency. Many loyal patrons relish their crispy fish and generous portions, lauding it as one of the best in the UK. However, some recent diners have expressed disappointment, citing poor-quality chips and unwelcoming service. Instances of rude staff behavior have marred the dining experience for certain customers, overshadowing the kitchen's commitment to quality. While some continue to celebrate the restaurant's longstanding charm, others ponder if management needs to address service issues to maintain its esteemed status in the community.
