Called in on 25th Feb after been on the beach. we ordered 2 large haddock chips and mushy peas, they were all absolutely delicious . I have dairy and egg allergies, all ingredients were checked out and fine for me. The restaurant had closed but this didn't bother us as we were traveling in our camper . All the staff were very pleasant and helpful and the shop was immaculately clean. We will definitely go back. Everything was a million times better than when we went to bells just up the road

Stopped by today for the first time after having stroll along seaham beach. Was a little busy, but expected as it was the weekend.. Cod & chips, jumbo sausage and chips, 2 cans of coke and 2 tubs of curry for £22. So in my opinion it’s average pricing. Food was tasty, hot and fresh. Will definitely be back

Staff were lovely and welcoming.. Food was incredible. Fish was perfectly battered (not to much or little. And the chips were mouth watering too.. We all know that feeling with Fish n Chips of not being able to eat it all. No, I demolished the lot!!…… Definitely a 11 out if 10!!! Great job guys

A lovely traditional fish and chips shop. I got cod and chips for £10.90. it was cooked to order, piping hot when I came to eat it along with tomato and tartar sauce which were 50p each. Portion size was great and it was delicious. I liked that I could put my own salt and vinegar on as well, nice touch.

Let's start from a place! Lovely, spacious room for lot's of people who want to enjoy the free time. Live music with a nice band. Fish was gorgeus! Very tasty, crispy, not fat and just the right amount of crumbs around. Size was massive, lovely chips with it and extra peas on a side. Everything served in a paper box easy to carry. Nice lady at the till. Very busy but manage with all the orders. Highly recomended, especialy at Xmas time when the atmosphere is magic!

Amazing fish and chips. We sat in the cafe as it was a bit cooler than eating outside in the scorching sunshine. The queue of people coming through the door never seemed to end. Myself and my partner both had the cod. I had the cod meal with chips, bread and butter and curry sauce. My partner had cod and a side order of coleslaw. There was more than enough food between us. We also had a dish of battered scraps. The fish was AMAZING. It was the best fish I've ever had. The batter was light and crispy. The curry sauce was delicious. I had a small bottle of chardonnay and my partner had a couple of bottles of peroni. The staff were rushed off their feet, but yet were extremely friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit.

I went there with the whole family. Amazing fresh fish, with excellent batter and scraps, and delicious chips at a very reasonable price. The staff were lovely and very efficient in taking orders in the queue and serving the food.

Probably not going to get a wheelchair in there because of the queue, and the seating areas aren't too spacious.

Matched up to the hype and all its awards! 10% off on a Tuesday is a nice bonus, thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic high quality fish and chips however the takeaway que could do with being more separate to the people dining in

Excellent fish & chips! The portions are big and it is served hot & fresh. Very friendly staff.. B&B is thick cut & soft with anchor butter. Curry sauce was a big pot and good.
