Best fish and chips I've had





The best fish & chips ever!!!















We were recommended this place by someone who used to go years ago and were warmly greeted by the employee when we arrived right at the opening time. We ordered the two piece halibut and chips and it was and was promptly fried and neatly wrapped. The employee was very friendly and asked if we needed any utensils, condiments, and if we wanted to split the portion into two dishes. The food itself was good, although the halibut could be a bit more moist. Would like to try the pickerel if we ever return. The customer service alone is enough reason to come back!





Fish and chips are great and fresh










Awesome fish and chips! Large portions for a great price!

Lunch with my wife at jeff purveys was great like it always is. Keep up the good work. Best fish and chips in Peterborough!!!! This is the truth.










Best fish and chips in the Peterborough





Fish and chips can really be hit and miss. We've had our share of cutting into battered fish and encountering tunnels, too much batter or too much batter deep fried at the wrong temperature so it's quite greasy with very little fish inside. Well, they get it right here. The haddock was lightly bartered, served with good fries and a creamy cole slaw. The condiments included tarter sauce, ketchup, vinegar and a malt vinegar. We'll be back. They also serve beer from Smithaven and Publican house.










My family started eating here in the 70s. After a long hiatus, we visited in August 2019. Good fish and chips. Fresh and tasty. We also liked the clam chowder.










In town looking for my next home. Had this establishment recommended to me. Delicious halibut and chips. Wrapped in paper like I remember from my childhood





Love the fish & ????:)





Of all the places I could have gone for my first in-dining experience this is what I craved. They did not disappoint. The food, service, cleanliness was 5 STAR!! Fries were superb, fish batter was light crispy, not greasy and Halibut was delicate and deicious. Best Fish and Chips in Peterborough, hands down.










Great price, great food!!





Love love love 4 pc family meal w fries and coleslaw for under $30!!




















Fast delivery and the bèst fish and chips





Best fish and chips in Peterborough. Dine in or take out. Family special. Once around the kitchen has a bit of everything. Nice place for a quiet dinner. LLBO. Limited on site parking. Free on street parking. Started in Toronto and family run since forever. PICKEREL. You won't be disappointed.





Didnt get my full order















It has a reputation as the best fish and chips in town, and for a very reasonable price. I always get take out, so I can't speak to the service. Tons of history, not only in Peterborough. The decor is real kitschy










A seafood institution. Plus, their caesar is arguably the best in Peterborough.





Very tasty fish n chips!










Perfect place to handle any fish craving!





The food was great and well priced.










Always fresh and hot. I love these guys!





Food was amazing. The waitress Karen was rude and rushed us. (We were the only ones there on Sunday for lunch. There was 8 plus 2 kids.). She tried to take my plate before I had even finished eating. When we told her how many there was of us she rolled her eyes and seemed annoyed she had to move tables to accommodate us. There was literally one other customer in the entire restaurant there was no need to rush us. We won't be back.





Great food quick service





Meal type





They have one of the best fried fish u could eat










We love Ken, he runs a great establishment here in Peterborough. We favour their Caesar salad, it does not have real bacon and a tasty dressing! They also give a large amount of deep fried pickles for the price compared to other restaurants in town.










Excellent fish and chips.





Usually good. But this time the fish tasted like cheap fish. The lady working wasn’t very pleasant, The guy working was though(Brian) Onion rings were Good















Great fries





Fish was very fresh! Great service





A little soggy for my liking.





A hidden gem in Peterborough, Jeff's fish and chips are consistently tasty and they are well sized portions, the prices are great. Not too much to say about them. Always left feeling filled up.





Love their fish not greasy





It was okay. Clean and good service.





Excellent as always. Thanks Lisa + Brian.





loved it really yummy thick pieces of fish and a good count on the the fries almost could not eat it all. can not wait to go again










Haven't been there for a while but when I was the food was good and the price was right





Amazing food!!! Milkshake was superb fries were perfect, fish was delicious highly recommend this place, a lil hidden gem.





Historic fish and chips in Peterborough tried the yam fries










Saturday after market dinner










The wait staff was very attentive and the food was excellent. Parking was the biggest challenge. Overall an enjoyable dinner.





Ordered 2 piece halibut fish and chips and the serving size was enough to feed two people. The fish was very thick with a light batter. Cooked perfect. French fries were fresh cut and delicious. The entire neal came with coleslaw and the meal was nice and hot ! Highly reccomrnd this place and will definitely be back. Staff were very personable and attentive...





Had the light batter and it was just the right amount. Not greasy, and the sides of potato salad and coleslaw we're very fresh well-presented. II opted not to have french fries but my friend did and they were lovely not greasy nice and fresh. Enjoy your experience there. they do take out





Take out




















It was alright 23 dollar's for fish and chips a d a gravy





Great place ...





Excellent fish....not greasy and very tasty. Price is fair as well





Best fish and chips in town and the oldest place in business too. Worth the wait and always great service.





My fav fish and chips place..always excellant service.





Food was good. Service was friendly.





Great place to eat!





Best fish and chips in Peterborough. Bar none





I thought the food was okay until it gave me food poising for a week. Couldn't go to work or eat solid foods until I got better. Never Again!










The fish was juicy and delicious... Great atmosphere and great service.. Makes you feel at home..















Great food great service





Great service and food





Always superb





We ordered 2 family specials one halibut and chips and 1 regular fish-and-chips the food we received was excellent very hot very fresh would order from there again thank you





Just had halibut, shrimp and scallops delivered to our hotel. It was excellent!





Best Halibut and onion rings ever















Love it ????





Great Halibut fish and chips, good deals on fish and appetizers too. If you like Fish, this is the place.










Best place for fish and chips that I know of in the Peterborough area, although we always get take out.





Wow takeout was nonstop with customers. All 3 of us included Mr. Fussy loved the fish & chips. Will be back.










A wonderful local Fish & Chips place that was recently brought to my attention! It has become a favorite and a pleasure to see all the workers as they always have a fantastic attitude. Lots of fish options for anyone and can make anyone happy. Can't wait to go back!





I am incredibly disappointed in not only the food, but the customer service here. We ordered family meals as an early celebration of my birthday, and found hair baked into the batter of the fish. When we called, they basically said prove it, and we had to bring it back in to the restaurant. An employee, Male, was incredibly rude, stated this never happens, and then proceeded to hand us 4 pieces of fish, and tell us to carry on. I am not a complainer at all, and I generally have no issues with food I order, but tonight was a disappointment all around.










Food was good but gave me the squirts after.





Folkish..





Great fish and chips.










Our families favorite.





Slow service. Order sent to the wrong address despite the street name being spelled out twice. Not impressed.





Great fish and chips quality and quantity. The server took care of us and was friendly.










Best fish and chips ever! ???? Never a bad meal at this restaurant. Food is aways fresh and hot the way it should be ????????????best ever ????????????????????










The best





We had a delicious meal and the service was excellent.










i'd suggest going in to eat. Every time i get delivery it's a mess. Eating in same great taste as it's been for years. I used to come here with my grandpa, great memories.










Service





This company has no idea how to treat customers. An employee was very rude and disrespectful towards myself and my bf. We were very poorly treated over the phone, twice. Called the owner to try and rectify the issue and no steps were taken. I get that they are busy but between bad service and a late delivery it's unacceptable. I waited an hour for my food was cold when it got to me finally. Not impressed and surely will not be going back. I recommend never eating here.





Food was great as always.





Great food and great staff.





Yummy fish & chips for a really good price. Large portions. Friendly staff (though I only ever order for pick-up, can't comment on dining in). It's my new go-to for fish & chips in Peterborough















The food here is excellent. Growing up on the east coast has made me hard to please when it comes to fish and seafood. This place is now a favorite.





Awesome food. Super quantity and lovely waitress. Great experience.





Terribly unorganized and extremely long wait time, even when ordering online





Some of the best of the local restaurants here in Peterborough one of the oldest for a good reason. Don't know what to get Friday night for the family? Try the family meal for under 30bucks. Huge portions of not that greasy fried fish.





An hour for delivery and shows up soggy.










We are regular patrons to Jeff Purdy 's. We really enjoy the fish and the price is reasonable





Just ordered tonight for the first time ever. When I was a teen living in PTBO my mom would pick up Fish from here once a year, which was pretty special. I had the regular fish and chips with a side of coleslaw and lots of malt vinegar. For the price? I cannot complain. Fish was hot. Crisp. Not greasy. Chips are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Guy behind the counter was pleasant and a woman who I assume may have been the owner was super nice. Everyone was wearing masks and quick. Highly recommend. They are an institution. Best deal it town!















I love this place for quality fish and chips! They're always fresh and the meals remind me of genuine British fish and chips! The portions are very generous and the prices are hard to beat. I highly recommend a visit.





Always good and fresh and plenty of food. Good value for money and friendly staff.










Great food





Always comfort here - delicious especially if you can eat it ASAP. Crispy and fresh!





Fast service and food was tasty





Best fish and chips in Peterborough. A nice thin batter and very good fries.




















Perfectly prepared fish n chips! Batter was really nice and the fish simply melt in your mouth.





Nice place to eat





Best fish an chips I’ve had. Waitresses are very nice and prompt . Really nice management . You will definitely want to come back





Very nice people, amazing food and quality. I think its family run. This is by far the best fish and chips in ptbo. There always on time for pick up orders, and super friendly.





First impression, this place is quite brilliant. The dinning area is nice and neat, service is fantastic and the complimentary bread once you seat down is just a brilliant gesture. Food is marvellous as well. The fish is fresh, crispy and moist. The chips is a bit on the okay side, it can be better. Overall, this place is definetly a place to visit for all fish and chips lover out there.





So many fries, cant complain.. tar tar in a sealed package, but the kids loved the fish. Delicious





Told today tuesday closed at 7. I wont order from here again.





Love the fish





They're prices are out standing!! :) excellent ????????????






























Purvey's is my family's favorite fish and chip restaurant in town! I've been a patron since childhood and still am today. The 21.99 family deal is one of the best deals around for my family of 4. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out!!





Fish was great and the guys amazing.










Love the batter. Nice fresh cut chips. The fish is aromatic and competes with the batter for flavour.





Great fish and chips and seafood!





I have eaten there many times! There poutines are great! Their food is great I'm General!










Great Service, Amazing food & Great Family Special. This restraurant is a local gem, best Fish & Chips in Peterborough





Quick food, great service , good fish





Spacious, friendly servers and price





Always great food and friendly service





Awesome a+++















Due to Covid-19 our home see’s more delivery’s then usual. We order Jeff purvey’s and it was delivered fast and super hot. Always amazing and will enjoy it again. Peterborough original fast food/restaurant. Give it a try!










First time in I waited more than half an hour for a large box of fries. The food is really good and greasy. The place could use some TLC and new menu boards. Last fries I ordered were made with dirty potatoes; thus dirt in my mouth.










STOPPED BY HERE ON THE WAY HOME FROM A WEEKEND OUT IN LAKEFIELD. WE GRABBED A HALIBUT N CHIPS (2/5), A PICKEREL N CHIPS (5/5), AND A SIDE ORDER OF ONION RINGS (4/5). THE BATTER ON EVERYTHING WAS NICE AND CRISPY, BUT OVERALL, EVERYTHING NEEDS A JUST A PINCH OF SALT, EVEN THE FRIES. THEY WERE SLIGHTLY SOGGY BUT STILL HOT AND FRESH. HALIBUT IS TYPICALLY A SLIGHTLY DRYER FISH BUT THE PIECE I GOT WAS INSANELY DRY AND HARD. IT HAD A BITE/CHEW TO IT WHICH WAS A TAD UNPLEASANT. THE PICKEREL WAS AMAZING!! I RECOMMEND THIS ONE!! NOT A LOT OF PLACES EVEN OFFER PICKEREL AT ALL!! IF YOURE IN THE TOWN OF PETERBOROUGH, MAKE A STOP HERE AND GET SOME FRIED PICKEREL N CHIPS!





The best





Ordered thru skip 2 pieces of halibut & chips they were great nice size pieces. ♥️ gravy, coleslaw, macaroni and potato salad. Only thing that i didnt like was the macaroni it was quite bland. Other than that it was delivered on a timely manner it was still hot when i got it. Great value great taste! Well done!!!





Busy place but there's a reason why lol. Food is great and price fair.










Great food, if your from Toronto and Used to Duckworth or B&B . You'll really enjoy





Best in Peterborough

Best fish and chips in Peterborough





Best fish and chips ever. Poutine is to die for and salads are huge and always fresh. We highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. Been going there for years and always treated like family. *****










Excellent service, great food. Please add lemon. Much love





Purveys. Best fish and chips in Peterborough. Make sure you have the Halibut.





I'm from eadt York so it was like home





The food is always good





Great place for a great plate of fish&chips!!!





Delicious and friendly





Best fish and chips in town!





It's actually not a bad shop at all. If any complaints the area is not the greatest. Loved my chicken strips and poutine even the it used just mozzarella but a lot of places do that and it's a decent replacement from cheese curds.










Great food





Best Fish and Chips in the City!





Ok I have had much better.





Young guys in there working looked like they were having a great time. Little hole in the wall type of fish spot but the food was great. Got 2pc halibut and chips to go, got home and unwrapped the paper. It was fantastic. Don't be discouraged by the appearance of the place the food was awesome. Large portions. Wish there was in-house tartar sauce, though.





One of top three Fish and Chips in town. Highly recommended! Owners are super friendly. Another Mom and Pop who needs business support.





Best fried chicken in town! Although practically indistinguishable from their battered fish, their take on fried chicken is otherworldly I give this chicken of the sea 5/5 star(fish)





Best fish in town but they need to rethink their fries. Or at least train their workers better for cooking them. 9/10 times I've gone they always undercook the heck out of them and they're very tasteless. Fish is amazing though.





Amazing fish & chips!










Good Fish and Chips .










Love and they been in same location since I was a kid I was born 1975 LOL Lived on Stewart ST for yrs as well :





Helpful staff, generous, fast and fresh servings! My fav fish & chip spot in town.





Excellent fish dinner





Try they regual fish and chips so good















Great food great servic





Excellent customer service and the food was amazing





Excellent fish n chips





Great fish and dollar value. Atmosphere and attitude are adequate at best and not ever giving lemon wedges for your fish is the strangest thing. Make sure to ask! Great history too





Yummy fish and chips! My favorite, and right by the park. I take my food over to the picnic tables there and eat by the water.










Excellent food and service. Owners are very nice!





Great fish and chips and good price





I dont really like fish, but the halibut is really good. If I'm going to eat fish it's either from here or Hank's in Bowmanville





Great friendly staff. Great service










The food is fantastic best fish and chips around price is very reasonable fast and friendly service ????





Best fish and chips! Great customer service!





Best fish in town





One of my favorite restaurant




















The best fish and chips in Peterborough!





Was at Hendows fine food across the street awesome restaurant way better than Purvey's Hendows ********** stars





I heard it's good uber said so





Great fish and chips and service















Great family fish and chips restaurant food was super










Great fish and chips; well sized portions; decor could use a bit of a spruce up, but it isn't terrible.










Great food, and great prices















Classic





Go almost weekly. Food always hot. Great staff. Affordable prices.





The purveys have been around Peterborough for like 100 years. The menu kinda reflects that. If you go in here expecting someone to fill your water when you get down to half you're an idiot. You're getting greasy fish, greasy fries, and serves in some makeshift bed of birdcage floor covers. It is what it is.





Sure has went down hill. Not very clean





Best fish & chips anywhere... had the halibut and the portion was huge, much bigger and tastier than anywhere I've been. We had a special place in orillia called bounty and thought it was untopable... well this place typed it indeed. Great price, delicious food and the people that work there were very warm and friendly. Loved it and would highly recommend it.





Authentic style fish chippies on paper or boxes. Good stuff. Not to crispy chips tho...but lotsa them????





Absolutely delicious fish and chips.





Best fish and chips. Anywhere. It broke my heart when they remodeled a few years ago- this place was unique decorated. So it's a bit more up to date and the fish is still perfect. Not every town has a local institution like this. We have to enjoy them before they're all Tim Hortons.





While the food is good, I'm sure, as it always has been ... there's a few BIG problems: First and foremost ... the cleanliness of the dining room, or lack thereof, gives me great pause as to what the cleanliness of the kitchen would be. I did note staff batter dipping fish with bare hands. Should gloves be in use? I took a few photos in the dining room ... judge for yourself. I visited the place several times 40 years ago as a child, and I don't know that the place has been cleaned much since, tbh. It certainly has been redecorated at all. Today was Good Friday. Yes, a VERY busy day for restaurants, and particularly so for Purvey's for a few reasons including fish being a traditional meal for the day. However, with 20 Skip The Dishes/Uber/Door Dash drivers lined up out one door, and about 60 customers lined up inside, out the door and down the street ... things quickly got out of control. While they continued to take MORE orders they had lost all control of the orders/customers they already had. Deliver drivers who had waited 30 - 60+ minutes were just walking out ... orders were being put up/called for drivers who had already left. One Skip The Dishes customer drove down LOOKING FOR her delivery driver, and God love her she said to the driver you leave and go back to work and I'll stay here and wait in line for my "delivery" order. Well before it reached this point the restaurant should have called a pause on all new orders.





Best fish and chips Like them when I was a kid and still like them as an adult










We absolutely love Jeff purveys we come up from Port Hope just for their fish and chips.





One of the best... Peterborough Ontario





Always the best










The fish is soggy batter and the fries taste like burn dirt





The place had an unpleasant smell the day we were there. Food okay. Wouldn't make a special trip to eat here.





Great fish and chips










Great place for fish.





Love this place great food for a reasonable price.










Just bought the family special today and brought it home to the bunch... We are now bed ridden with hurl buckets beside us. It was great going down, not so great coming back up. The good news is you only have to pay 25 bucks after tax to taste Jeff Purveys twice!





Great food





It's our go to place when I don't feel like making my own. Would love to see them serve mushy peas though.





Clean and good










Waitress was very rude and the experience was very poor in general. Food was underpar for the price and it seemed like nobody running it cared





I mean been here many times, dirt review. So good! Only been to the Rubidge location but assume they are the same. Unless your really hungry, one piece should do. But I have killed the two piece and rolled down the street! Fries are awesome!!!










Jeff Purvey's hasn't changed in the fifty years I've been going there. The menu still has all my favourites. All the rest is pretty much the same. Maybe a fresh coat of paint as needed. I'm glad as owners have changed, they saw no need to "improve" anything.















Ok





Great fish and chips. Classic Peterborough dining.





Tasty





Best fish in town





Good food reasonably priced my favorite seafood restaraunt for the last 40 years





Ok fish and chips, but they have trouble with large group dinners even though we pre-booked





Staff were super friendly!





Nice place










Fish&chips joint not too bad










Excellent










Not very good.the fries were wimpy and fish wasn't that good!!





Good portions, tasty food.





Best fish and chips in town

The service wasn't that great for no one in the restaurant .all she care about was eating her shrimp and cleaning up in the back but the food was awesome big piece of fish for the price .





Best fish and chips in town





worth going out of your way for the fish and chips... especially the halibut.










Moved from Kingston to Peterborough..and Jeff Purvey's Fish & Chips was recommended for the moving day meal. On time, delicious and reasonably priced! What a first impression Peterborough!





I'm not usually a huge fan of battered fish but this is great. The fish is crispy but not hard and not greasy. The fresh cut fries and coleslaw are also very good. Great place.





Nice product.










I was pleasantly surprised. The food and service was really good.





Awesome. Would go again and definitely recommend this place.





When I first walked in it was a great atmosphere. A little dated but comfy nonetheless. Our server came over, handed us menus and then went away. When she came back to take our order, I had asked (jokingly) if the clam strips came with bellies. She looked at me like I just told her off. Although it was busy, I expect a little manners and maybe some appreciation for the business we were giving them. She did not return to check it all of our food was OK or to refill our drinks. Horrible service. Not a smile on her mug. Having said that, the fish was excellent as well as the fries. I will not be going back.





Great service





classic PTBO resto, love this place










Best fish and chips in town





Great fish and chips for the price.










Fish is great. Chip not so good.
