They have a separate fryer for gluten free fish and chips. It is not available before 4pm due to energy costs. Good sizes for haddock, cod and chips. The gluten free battered cod was very good. Very friendly and helpful staff. Overall a great experience. They also take telephone orders.
Great classic fish and chip restaurant in the heart of the beautiful city of Durham. But is it good enough to make my list of the best fish and chips in the UK?? … So here’s the lowdown
1. The restaurant is cosy but has a lovely atmosphere, comfy seating and the buzz of happy customers
2. The service was great. Had a short queue to be seated but the waiting staff were friendly and courteous, always making sure you were happy
3. The food was high quality. Tasty chips, perfectly cooked using a good quality potato. The fish was good. Our party had both cod and plaice. The plaice was cooked in batter and was light and full of flavour. The battered cod was cooked well but less flavoursome than the plaice or haddock. Cooked in beef dripping and you could tell. The portions were generous too. And you are offered bread and butter as a side as standard.
4. The cost …. For a good sit in fish and chip dining experience this was fairly priced and comparable to most others in the same league.
5…. So …on the list?? Definitely….it’s great food served in a great location…what’s not to like?

Great fish and chips as usual. Freshly cooked to order and stayed hot until we made it home to eat them. Option to eat in or takeaway. A great option for enjoying Durham’s market place whether as a tourist or a local.
BEST fish and chips I've ever eaten,fish large,flakey and white,perfectly cooked,chips spot on too,all freshly cooked...very large portions, excellent tartare sauce and curry sauce...really good value for money.The waitress was really friendly and cheerful too...would HIGHLY recommend...and perfect spot for enjoying Durham
Had to sit inside as it was far too hot to sit in the market square. The fish and chips were good but not on a regular basis, they were far too fatty so only go about twice a year.
Great fish and chips, difficult parking but worth it tbh. Cannot fault anything about the food or the staff and service. Our go to chip shop.
Really nice Fish and Chips (best in Durham). Staff are friendly and they have deep fried haggis which I've never had before but will have again in the future.
Easily the best fish and chips in the area. The food is hot, fresh, tasty, and good value for money. The service is swift, even when very busy, and the staff has always been pleasant. Need some comfort food? Look no further!
Refurbished Feb 2022. Food fantastic - cooked in beef dripping. Additional fryer now added to cater for gluten free. Menu includes scampi, beans, mushy peas, gravy, cheese or corned beef patties & onion rings. Best takeaway!
The best fish bites I’ve ever had-succulent moist huge flakes of cod in crispy batter and cooked to absolute perfection-only just done to retain the moisture and flavour of the fish and no hint at all of drying out, that spoils so many portions of fish and chips. Chunky lovely chips and loads of scramptions of batter mmmmm together with curry sauce and home made tartar sauce which was every bit as perfect a condiment as I’d hoped for. No wonder Bells is so popular 😋🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Chips were fantastic, but there just weren't enough of them in a portion. This is of course relative to what we've been used to back home in Leicestershire
Bit more pricy than other fish and chip shops but always delicious
Delicious fish and chip butty,
Great portion size, had been dried nicely so batter was crisp and chips were not fat soaked and greasy.
Good value, impressive fish tank to look at while you wait.
