Harveys Fish Bar

Harveys Fish Bar trades from a small shopfront on Harvey Road, the residential A6005 spur that runs down through Boulton between the Alvaston and Allenton ends of south-east Derby. It is a working neighbourhood chippy — cod and haddock fried to order, chips done in the standard British vegetable-oil pan, fritters, fishcakes and fish-bites, plus the usual chippy sidelines of burgers, wraps, kebabs and jacket potatoes — and the kitchen runs the standard chippy hours of late-afternoon through to mid-evening, closed Sundays. Portion sizes get warm marks in repeat reviews, with the chips in particular singled out, and the front-of-house staff are mentioned regularly as friendly. The shop lists with Too Good To Go for end-of-day surprise bags, which is unusual for this size of independent chippy and suggests a serious attempt to keep waste down. Delivery is on Just Eat for the surrounding streets and collection at the counter is the main trade. Pricing sits in the standard Derby chippy range and the shop has held this part of the Harvey Road parade for several years.
