As it was mid afternoon, there was no problem with seating or waiting for our food. Delicate flakey cod and the best surprise in way of a green salad! The mixed green salad had fresh slices of strawberries, bell peppers of many colors and pomegranates! Pomegranates!! The chips were plentiful and okay. Being from the US, my preference is for more crispy. Maybe I can ask for this The shop has their own parking lot and the staff is nice. Lovely toilet facilities upstairs. Please support this business when in the area. Thank you!

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!

The food was delicious. Everything from the mackerel paté to the mushy peas fritters for appetizer were great. I thought a bit of acid would've perked them up but everyone ate them regardless. We had the cod, haddock some fried some grilled. Beautiful! Perfectly cooked. Not greasy. The drinks were great as well. The teenagers said 'best curry sauce ever'.

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.

Been to several Fish&Chip Shops on my visits over to the U.K. Marshalls is a must every time…read more It's in a nice little seaside part of Tynemouth with a street full of independent shops to visit. Marshalls is a gem, right in the middle of it all. It's simple. Fish, chips and a can of the soda/pop of your choice. By far my favorite fish in all of the shops that I've tried. HUGE portion of fish on top of a large pile of chips (fries) simply served in a basket. There's really not much else to say. Would I go back? I do. Every single visit. It's is one of, if not THE, most important stops of every visit. So just go. If you find yourself anywhere near the Newcastle-Upon-Tyne area, you MUST go.

This place was brought to my attention because apparently it's famous and really good. The decor is basic, like most fish shops. The tables have connected bucket seats for 4 or 6 people. The staff are really nice, they come up to your table to take your order. Prompt service. The portions of food are huge, which is a good thing for me. However maybe on this day they missed they mark. 4 of us went and we all got the same vibe from the food... The fish itself was delicious but the batter and the way it was fried completely wrecked it. This was some really greasy fish. It was the type of greasy that lingers in your mouth like a layer. The chips lacked everything. Poorly fried and lifeless chips. It's a shame cause it's also expensive compared to others in the area. £7.50 for fish and chips £6.50 with no chips. I think there are so many fish and chip places in the area I don't need to go back.
