My husband and I went for a meal at Chippies Plaice yesterday. We received a warm welcome, the cafe was lovely and clean, the staff were very friendly and the food was excellent and served really tastefully, pun intended !

Very friendly staff and lovely clean tables, food excellent and not too expensive, would eat there again next time we are in Buxton.

Great food but the place is very small especially if eating in as people have to brush past you to get to the counter

Waited 10 mins for a cup off coffee that said £1.75 on the takeaway board but apparently they bang on another £1 if you sit in and to top it all off the woman behind the counter started SHOUTING and I mean SHOUTING to people outside telling them their order was ready . and jeez , has she got a gob on her . Then to top it all off AGAIN ... the lad then started shouting ! can't review the food as didn't have any . Coffee ok but pricey if you sit in and if you are going to sit in then I suggest you either take some earplugs with you , some sedatives for your coffee or when you've sat down get one of them from behind the counter to whack you over the head as hard as they can with the frying pan then hopefully you'll not be then bothered by the gobby buggers behind the counter shouting and screaming ?

A rare Saturday treat, thought we'd have good old fish and chips at Sam's Plaice as it called. First impressions, clean , nice wooden tables ,looks OK.. 2 of us sat down by the door the which, for some reason was wide open letting cold air in. Asked 3 times could we close it , to just be ignored.. closed it anyway. Next ordered 2 x fish and chips with gravy , 1 coffee and a can...£27.40!!!. Nearly fell through the floor. 5 mins later a shout came that we could collect our food , even with 3 staff doing nothing. Chips overcooked home made , gravy thick, fish could've been any species, but definitely wasn't cod. Batter was thick and hard. Overall disappointing. For £27.40 we at least expect good service and decent if not top notch food. Sadly this was poor at best. Wont be revisiting

Would give 0 stars if possible.The place was busy during the post-lunch rush on a weekend granted, but the staff were all-but rude and despite clear pricing on menus the staff all had different ideas of what each thing cost. For a simple order of 2 large and one small chips and a small bottle of coke we were charged almost £10 and made to feel like a massive inconvenience for ordering anything.Didn't make a fuss as they were busy but we were surrounded by other customers having an equally dreadful time.We then made the terrible mistake of politely asking if we could buy some ketchup for our little one's chips.Of the 3 staff, 1 told me ketchup was free in sachets and pointed to an empty pot, 1 told me it cost extra for a sachet and the 3rd shrugged and said they had no more of any sauce in the shop.A few minutes later we saw several customers leave with the exact packets of ketchup we had been told they ran out of...for free.And then: 3 orders of small chips were delivered to us at the counter with more angst than a teenage sparkly-vampire movie.Tldr;?Staff that made you feel like existing was an imposition to them,?Overpriced food that was very poorly cooked and greasy,Final Grade: Ungradable.

Fish, chips and peas at nearly £13 was a big surprise. In truth it was quite nice, but at that price i wont be coming again.

Now changed it's name to Sam's Place hence why I couldn't see it on trip advisor before going in. Wished I hadn't! Very abrupt staff with a bad attitude, I asked if they did sparkling water - my reply was - all the drinks are in the fridge - have a look! Waiting ages for our food and only 2 tables in. To be fair the scampi was lovely and a generous portion but the service and attitude of the staff lets the place down massively. I will not be going back, there are so many nicer places in Buxton with nice pleasant staff.

staff are really rude and not interested! absolutely no customer service at all, (especially the girl with the red hair who shouts you food out) chips were hard aswell and the prices are absolutely ridiculous, not worth it all. wont be going back

If I could give this place ( Sam's plaice) a 0 star I would! £12.40 for fish and chips and the fish was small, and burnt to a crisp. The chips weren't much better. The staff were as miserable as sin.no smiles, no manners. The only nice bit about it is the decor. Shocking! Avoid.

Fish n chips for 2 plus 2 cans was £25!!! the food wasn't bad but not worth it at that price.

I had lunch there this week while the fish I had was very nice, it was very expensive I paid £14.05p for fish, small chips, peas and a can of pop. It was not table service and I overheard a lady asking for a glass of tap water. The staff on the counter said very sharply that the tap water was not drinking water so she had to buy bottled water. I find it very hard to believe that you can't drink the tap water they just wanted her to have to buy a bottle. I will not be going again

Went here today and we?re from out of the area so had no idea where to go. Food wasn?t too bad albeit a bit pricey but it?s what we expect to pay when we?re away from home anyway. However the atmosphere is awful when you have the manager talking to her staff like s**t, I had to bite my tongue the whole time we were there. It amazes me how the staff hadn?t got up and walked out and left her to do it alone. Really not nice to listen too when these people are just wanting to come to work and earn a bit of money
