Beautiful fish and chips. There was a queue of people outside but we still got in quickly as a table of 8 when we hasn't made a reservation. Friendly staff.Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu and the staff provided an activity book and crayons to all the kids.

Fish and chips, mushy peas and bread and butter. Tea pot enough for 2 cups. Friendly staff and warm and cosy. Definitely recommend.

Was in the area and this place was recommended to me, so after checking out the reviews went there for lunch. Got there early, soon after opening to make sure no problem getting a table, as it's popular and was a way for me to go to visit. Upon entering was greeted and taken to a table, very friendly staff. Nicely laid out location with tables not too close together, but close enough so it is quick and easy for them to be changed around for different size groups. I ordered the Colmans Feast (Prime cod, thick-cut chips, homemade mushy peas plus a pot of tea or a cup of filter coffee) with a side portion of curry sauce. Came very quickly and it was lovely and hot, all perfectly cooked. Ate every scrap and thoroughly enjoyed every bit! Cod was a good size and plenty of flesh, chips were a good size and nice and chunky, curry sauce was spicy and thick enough (not too much to kill the taste of the fish/chips) and mushy peas were very enjoyable (I'm not a massive lover of mushy peas). I had the coffee as my drink and it was a decent flavoured cup. Was so good that I went back 3-4 days later with a friend and had the same again apart from skipped on the mushy peas. Lovely atmosphere, lovely food, friendly staff Due to it's popularity can get very busy (as it was my second visit) and so may have to wait for a table it you time it for the busy period. 100% without hesitation recommended!

We visited the North East for the first time in 4 years, and the first thing we did was drive straight to Colmans for Fish & Chips! My family have been looking forward to visiting Colmans ever since our last pre-Covid visit. My late father introduced me to Colmans many years ago, and now no visit to the North East is complete without a visit to Colmans Fish & Chips. Maria and her wonderful team are very friendly, welcoming and attentive, the restaurant is spotlessly clean, and the food is OUTSTANDING. Wild, fresh fish caught locally, cooked to perfection, and absolutely the best chips you could eat. I have travelled worldwide, and tried Fish & Chips in many restaurants in many countries, (including Gordon Ramsays British Restaurant in Macau), but I can say with 100% honesty that Colmans is the best.....by a long way. We made time to visit twice during our one-week visit, they are that good. My family are already looking forward to visiting the North East again, and of course Colmans Fish & Chips will be on the top of our 'to do' list! Thank you Maria and all the team.

I ordered ‘The Colmans feast’ which was lovely! It is the best fish and chips I have ever tasted! Maria suggested the homemade tarta sauce which went very well with the fish! Would recommend anybody visiting Shield’s to stop in here. The service was as good as the standard of the food first class!

Huge portions of great tasting cod; the mushy peas were wonderful. And we had interesting conversations with the woman at the till.
