Reviews Clems Fish Restaurant

We had the best reason ever to visit someone called Sarah was with us....we entered the takeaway side and was invited to go through to the restaurant area and someone would come through and take our order. Limited menu, but only to the food you would expect. We had someone with a w/c now this isn’t wholly accessible if you need w/c it is a little narrow but anyone who can transfer or limited mobility can negotiate the way through, w/c is well kept and smells lovely. But back to the food. When the lady returned, she thought we looked a little cramped and immediately without hesitation offered to move the entire restaurant seating and tables around to better accommodate our needs. the food was served on appropriate and clean plates and the food......We had fish bites which were fried lovely light and with that satisfying batter taste but not to doughy or crisp. Awesome....the kids went for Sausage and chips ...of course they did an reported it was lovely again would of been nice for a few more chips....(again of course we would all like more chops...lol) We asked for bread and butter and some beans. my only criticism was I don’t think if your sitting in it should be to much to be asked if you want peas or beans with any meal without extra cost but we were not charged for the cups of beans that came out so it wasn’t that bad....it was just when I started eating I realised beans and bean sauce over the chips was missing. We couldn’t knock the service it was welcoming practical and professional. After we ate, we went through to pay. on leaving we met the real Sarah of Sarahs place and little one was offered a takeaway cup to take her drink she was still drinking, kids.... A thoroughly delicious meal and at only 10 squid a head considering what we had and where delicious. Thanks everyone at Sarah's Plaice.

I’ve used this fish shop half a dozen times and can say that the fish and chips are consistently good. The shop is clean and modern and the fish has always been cooked to order so it is hot and the batter is crunchy. Staff are pleasant and professional and greet you with a smile. There is a restaurant attached but I have never used it. Great job time after time.

1st time here. Friendly polite service. I can't describe our fish, chips and peas other than excellent!!

A clean chippy with clean oil lovely chips and fish with a nice and crispy batter with very helpful staff

Visited this fantastic establishment on 18/02/23 , what a fantastic find . Friendly staff , lovely clean cafe , and oh wow yes fish and chips cooked to perfection . You county Durham people , are lucky to have an establishment like this .

Great food, freshly cooked and very tasty

My parents are locals and took us here for some lunch we ate in and it was amazing, the batter was light and tasty and the chips were also equally as amazing! And the staff were very chatty Keep up the good work guys

Since finding this excellent chippy we've never been disappointed on the quality or the price & the girls are always welcoming. The only slight disappointment is that Haddock (although advertised) never seems to be available which me & my Mam love (although we do like Cod as well!). It's such good quality we don't go anywhere else.

Sarah's place is loverly they are really good chips we've eaten in and. Taken out for anyone who hasn't been to Shildon to try them it's a must you won't be disappointed it is wheelchair accesable but parking not good as double yellow all around and a bus turn in right next door but worth inconvenience for chips
