I know it's table service with stunning sea views and it was cosy but would I return - most…read morecertainly not. It was busy and noisy when we arrived but that tapered off. We each ordered two 2 courses (starter/main and main/dessert) so we could share a starter and a dessert. What was the worst of it? Well two main annoyances - plates were not hot not even close. Second the service took for ever especially waiting for our main course. I should add that the flat white coffee was poor enough too. The Fritto Misto starter was a mean portion of lukewarm, cheap fish like calamari and mussels and skinny slices of limp cold vegetables like red pepper - really unappealing. The main of cod and chips was just alright - the cod was neither thick nor generous, but it was fresh and the batter pleasant - and no discernible grease. With all the hype I'd heard of this place it was really disappointing. The portion of chips was mean and as the plates were lukewarm the food didn't stay hot long either. Plates for fish & chips need to be really very hot and there's no excuse for them not to be. The crumble dessert was ok. Not bad but not delicious. The crumble topping and ice cream were darn good. The mushy peas were darn good and the scraps (fried bits of batter) were exquisite - fried unhealthy and almost the best part of an otherwise truly forgettable meal. The staff were friendly and inefficient maybe because of the kitchen but I found no evidence of the great reputation I'd heard about the place. Would I go back - it's two star for the price paid, poor coffee, mean portions, cool plates and slow service - certainly not but it has aspects of good 3 star, just not enough.

The prices are about what you'd expect of a fish and chip shop anywhere and the portion sizes are generous. They offer quite an extensive range of things on the menu (fish, pies, sausage, fritters etc) and also a large range of soft drinks. It is right in the centre of Whitley Bay so handy to nip to after a hard days shopping!

When my friends came to visit for the weekend we decided to head down to the fish quay in order to show them the places you go to for real fresh fish! We got there about 6ish on a Saturday evening and were seated straight away in a nice booth. Ordering some drinks and plenty of food we all choose something a little different. I went for the haddock and chips with a side of curry sauce - which on arrival was enough to feed 2 people. The pot of curry sauce would have been enough for the 3 of us! My friends opted for the battered sausage and scampi both of which looked good too. All accompanied with plenty of salt, vinegar and tarter sauce alongside a rather large bowl of scraps for free! All meals do come with a pot of tea and bread & butter however we decided there was enough carbs on our plate already! With a few cans of pop there was also an option for wine and beers on the menu which is a nice touch. Staff were good although they could have done with some extra people to help clean up the tables as those were left to stand for a little longer than necessary. All in all though - this is a great chippy and I think I impressed my guests too with a bit of northern goodness!
