One of the best fish & chips we have had. Lovely venue & very friendly staff.

Food was excellent as always, waiting staff could maybe do with a bit more of a spring in their step, given menus as we were given a table, almost fifteen minutes later before our order was taken, and the restaurant was relatively quiet.

Pretty good service and location. Big quantity of food but not the best taste.

Absolutely loved my experience at this fish and chip restaurant! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was simply beautiful - perfectly crispy fish and golden chips. Definitely a five-star experience!

Really good fish and chips. Very pleased with takeaway. Great tartar sauce

Why not add a ramp inside the chip shop part so wheelchair users can get their chips without having to rely on friends. Still 4* though as the food is lush.

This was an easy choice at the end of a busy Saturday when many of Durham's other restaurants were too busy. Not too expensive and happy to let us order 2 mains and an extra plate for our daughter, as we don't have big appetites. I was impressed with the salad I ordered instead of chips which was very nicely presented, and not just baby gem lettuce either. Bonus points for that.Downside that other fish choices, like sea bass, haddock etc just weren't available - possibly just because it was a busy Saturday night? And having a radio station playing as background music made it feel more like an extension of a chippy and less like a restaurant which was a pity. They have a great location with a view over the square and it's a clean and comfortable place to sit in with your fish and chips.Kid-friendliness: Children's options available for under 12s

Definitely some of the best fish and chips I've had. Restaurant is a lovely place to sit, looking out into the Market Square. And the staff are lovely.

been coming here many years and have never been let down. very friendly staff with a nice layout. food has always been one of its high points but as of recent times the size of the cod fillets have gotten smaller but that hasn’t affected the overall quality. The chips are always perfect and flavourful. the staff are very attentive and friendly and always go above and beyond. the fish tank upon entrance is also a bonus and a nice addition.Parking: use the prince bishops car park.

This restaurant and takeaway is perfectly situated on the corner of the Market Square in Durham and gets very busy. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, and the restaurant was full. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a lovely young woman and made to feel welcome and comfortable, and we were seated immediately. She took our order and explained all our options fully and concisely. I ordered a cod with small chips to share and a lemonade.Despite it being so busy we didn't have to wait long for our food. We were given curry sauce, which we didn't order, but that was removed from our bill when we sent it back.The chips were OK but a bit hard and not many chunky ones. The Cod was a good size but very watery and tasteless.For a meal for two that came to over £30 this really wasn't worth it, and I won't be eating here again. I think a £5 difference between eating in and taking away is very expensive too.Wheelchair accessibility: There are only a few tables on the ground floor, so pick quieter times to eat here, and the toilets are in the basement, so that's something to bear in mind if you choose to visit here.
