Delicious fish and chips (I recommend the plaice), lovely and friendly staff. We were lucky to get a window seat upstairs to enjoy the view while we ate
Over all, I am rating a 4, I do enjoy Bells however, the fish cake was more potato than fish, do have a picture and presentation was beautifully done, just when you have chips and you begin eating the fish cake, you'll notice how much more potato your eating.
For a fish and chip shop, I expected a bit more fish and a little less potato, felt as I was eating a share bag of walkers crisps, yet overall, its a lovely place to eat, just not exactly the best eating inside Durhams place, due to cramped conditions and how the levels are split into 3.
Ground floor - shop and seating area
-1 floor - Toilets
1st floor - extra seating
They are better Bells out there in Durham, so overall, rating 4/5, staff are brilliant, just a let down with location and a tad bit disappointed in food proportion with the fish cake.
When you think fish and chips, whether you know it or not, you're thinking about Bells. The fish is fresh, delicious, and fried to perfection. The chips are hearty and flavourful. The tartare sauce—clearly made in-house—is the best you'll ever have. The restaurant itself is pleasant enough—serviceable, nothing fancy—but this isn't about atmosphere. It's about fish and chips, and they're the best.
