Excellent fish and chip bar. Opted for cod and chips with curry sauce, and was not disappointed. The fish was so big it was hanging over the edges of the plate. Very crisp batter and not greasy. Piping hot, as it was freshly cooked.My wife can't eat fish due to an allergy, so she opted for the jacket potato with beans. Again, it was served piping hot and the potato was cooked all the way through.Excellent staff, very friendly.Highly recommended.

Highly Recommended.This was by far, the best fish and chips I have ever had. The fish was fresh, batter was crispy but not greasy, and the chips came in a decent portion size! You will not go hungry if you choose to eat here.Staff were lovely too!The menu is comprehensive and there is something on there for almost everyone, at a fair price too.I'm running out of superlatives.

Impromptu last minute drive up to Matlock during half term for tea, picked Charles for fish and chips, very friendly staff, quick service and delicious food ? fish and chips was lovely, my wife had the home made chicken pie and that was very good

On Sunday, something strange happened. I looked out in the morning and so the sun in the sky, no rain no cloud but sun! to make the most of this we decided to visit Matlock Bath with no real agenda.We're so glad we did it was a fantastic way to spend half a day. We went for a long walk along the River with some great heights and views. We then visited the arcades, and it must have been our lucky day because we won in nearly every 2p machine.The plan was then to leave and have a healthy (it's January!) lunch at home however we were drawn in by the wonderful smells and menu at Charles, a roadside restaurant. three plates of chips and mushy peas later, we left Matlock Bath with big smiles on our faces. Go and visit now!

We decided to visit Charles Restaurant as my husband & daughter wanted Fish & Chips. On looking at the menu I noticed they did Jacket Potatoes too. As I’m eating healthy it suited us all. We were greeted by a lovely gentleman, who assured me they had Jacket potatoes so we sat down. On looking at the menu I noticed they did pouched Cod With a salad. OMG I’m so glad I chose this. The salad was really fresh & a huge portion. The cod was absolutely beautiful. All our meals were excellent. Service was also excellent. The restaurant was spotless including the toilets. We will definitely be back. Thank you
Very friendly service and great food. Had chips and mushy peas sandwich, proper thick bread, well buttered. Old school. Family had fish and chips and loved them. All downed with a pint of lager. Going to the toilets, it was like time travel to the 70s, but in a good way. Fancy decor and toilet holders. We'd never noticed it before with the other chippies more prominent, but we needed somewhere dog friendly, and it certainly is!

Charlie managed to fit all 16 of us in with only a few hours notice. The whole experience was of friendly local service, and excellent food which even the little ones polished
