Coulls Fish Restaurant in Northumberland

Fish was just a large fish finger. All batter and no fish. Poured the spare oil in my engine. Would not recommend. 😲

This was the second time we had used this restaurant, and we went on purpose because we enjoyed the meal the first time when we were in this area, and it did not disappoint. The fish is skinned before fried in battery, mushy peas, tea, and a slice of bread and butter served with it. We had the pensioners deal. If ever we are in this area, we shall be coming again. Very friendly service and clean utilises. Thank you.

I had haddock and chips, my partner had the mini version. Both were huge. At £16.95 I'd have thought they could have chucked a spoonfull of mushy peas in free but no a small ramekin is a £1.95 extra. Still the fish looked like a whale. However when I opened it up it was 50% batter. A really thin fillet of fish with a thick layer of batter. I'd have preferred free mushy peas, and half the batter, ideally a thicker fillet of fish. Oh and our £2.95 iron bru had not been in the fridge and apparantly the ice machine was not working, warm iron bru lovely. Give it 5 years and I can come back for the pensioners deal that looks great and includes free mushy peas, bread and butter and tea.

I was here about a month ago with my girlfriend having a 3 night stay in Berwick..I found this place while trawling google maps looking for somewhere to eat.. glad I found it as the food was lovely.. massive fish too.. would highly recommend..

Having read the reviews of this place, we were looking forward to trying it out. The good - Decor. Fun, smart. The bad - Service. Certainly not done with a smile. The young lady seemed physically incapable of smiling or being friendly. I felt like we were an inconvenience. Food. Fish. Thinnest piece of cod going. Batter was thick, greasy & tasteless. Chips. Utterly tasteless & dry. How on Earth did they manage that?? Cost. Very inflated. £16.95 for fish and chips?? Huge disappointment. Absolutely not recommended.

Delightful. Fast service. Hearty food.

This place is a MUSTZif you are in Berwick upon Tweed!!

Stopped off on way back to Edinburgh. Although full were able to get a table without waiting to long. Fish and Chips with salad was great 👍

Told gluten-free was available when we arrived (and asked). We ordered gluten-free without any issues, however after we received our drinks and started drinking they came back and we were informed gluten-free was unavailable. Ended up with a baked potato and the rest of the table having normal fish and chips

Great Staff, Varied Menu and Space (Not Saturn) The restaurant is spacious and airy unlike many Fish restaurants and if your not fishy there a plenty of alternatives choices.

Very nice fish n chips. Definitely recommend

HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.... GO!

First time being here since refurbishment and I was very disappointed. Fish supper, the chips were lovely. Homemade and tasty. The fish however was very greasy, and the skin was still on the fish under the very thick batter. Staff didn't utter a word to myself or the other customer apart from to take orders. Not even a smile. Used to thoroughly enjoy getting my tea from here when I visited Berwick on Tweed but I'll not be back now.

Spacious, friendly with good food and service. Great fish & Chips at good price but please try the local Haggis and Scotch Pie, Amazing!!

Nice enough chippy but the batter on the sausage was very crispy and completely came off when cutting into it so was more like eating sausage with bits of batter. Tasted fine, but probably wouldn't be my first choice of chippy in Berwick.

Excellent! Had the pensioners special, it was fantastic, best fish and chips I've had in years!

Great food, service and staff. Visited twice within a week! Highly recommended. There's a reason they queue out of the door for sure..

Nothing really stands out to substantiate this as “The best fish and chips in the Northeast” if I’m perfectly honest, Food was pretty average, and on the expensive side. Supper, single fish and small juice £ 19.00 Chips were low in quantity and poor in quality perhaps the last in the fryer?.. However it is still the better of the two on this street, I would use it again but for that reason.

Really disappointed with our most recent takeaway experience having enjoyed the fish and chips here on several previous occasions when visiting Berwick. We're hoping it was because they were very busy this time- the fish was tasty, although overcooked and a bit chewy round the edges but the chips were awful, undercooked, pale and greasy, most went in the bin. Definitely didn't live up to their claims this time round and not sure we'll go back.

We went there for our tea and had the pensioner plate. It were bloody huge. And we took our 4 legged friend with us too. They were great.

Amazing, best fish and chips had in a long time. Huge portions, price reflects the portion size. Lovely and clean,good quick service.

Visited the takeaway on Wednesday for a quick tea, shop was busy but service was pretty quick, ordered jumbo sausage n chips and a fish n chips, both were absolutely gorgeous, fresh, piping hot and not greasy at all. It was so good that we went back again on the Thursday. Defo recommend if you are visiting berwick :)

We got a large fish and chips to share. Perfect!

Lovely fish and chips today, quick service, great portions and the curry sauce in the business! We will be back!

Best in northeast . I don't think so. I was not impressed with the the fish (size or flavour). There is no children's menu/portions. Also price on higher side so expected better. Not be returning especially when there's other options.

Had the pensioners special fish chips peas bread and butter plus pot of tea it was the best I've had in a long time and the size suppised me excellent

Best gluten free fish and chips ever. Even had gluten free vinegar. Totally delicious.

Lovely food, service was good. Gluten Free available.

good fish... good mashed peas. chips were underdone. and a minimal beer bottle list. decent service but not stellar

Excellent gluten free fish and chips. Went on the website and saw that they offered gluten free fish and chips. Walked in and asked about the gluten free, I was assured that it was definitely gluten free and that separate friers, utensils and areas were used for the gluten free food. The fish and chips were very very good, with a generous portion of fish and chips at a good price. Excellent service very friendly and helpful staff who are clued up on gluten free. The shop and restaurant were very busy including another customer ordering gluten free. Highly recommended.

Lovely food and super service..

Had take out fish and chips Beautiful Best I've had in a long time

Wonderful fish tea for pensioners. Reasonably priced, a good sized portion and beautiful taste.

Only did take away but the gluten free fish and chips were fantastic and my husband had the footlong sausage in batter which was great.

Always had good fish and chips here. Probably come once a month or once every two months.

very hearty portions but the food was sooo greasy!! and lots of lumps of batter seemed to be mixed in with the chips! thanks but no thanks

Came in tonight and ordered two haggis suppers which were cold,dry and the batter was hard also chips undercooked - returned meals to chip shop and was looked and questioned "cold"?" We have been using this shop for years and will not be returning. Lady serving had an attitude.

Staff had attitude and the haggis super was awful but the seagulls seem to enjoy it. Won't be getting anymore of my money. Even after returning the food they should have insisted on refunding my money but wasn't bothered.

Used this chippie before but disappointed tonight Chips weren't nice and had batter bits through it as I hate batter could only have those with coated in batter As on hoilday was looking forward to our food

Fantastic 😍 best I've ever had 👏👏👏

Very nice, cosy restaurant. Food was out superfast, massive portions , hot and tasty. The chips are to die for. Service was okay, didn't go over and beyond, but couldn't fault it.

Getting old has some advantages 😁 ie the Pensioners Fish Tea for the very affordable price of £12.95 👍A perfect portion of Haddock chips and mushy peas with a thick slice of bread and butter ...I got a good two cups of delicious tea out of a pot and they didn't skimp on the tartare sauce 😋 Nice acoustic covers of Rock ballads playing and friendly, efficient staff too 💕,best meal out in a long time 👏 If you are ever in Berwick on Tweed I highly recommend this lovely dog friendly Fish and chip restaurant 😋💖💕Bev xxx

We had the very tasty pensioners fish supper last night and the battered sausage & chips. Great service and lovely restaurant and we popped our springer spaniel under the table to relax. Altogether good value, great experience, friendly staff! Would definitely recommend!!

We visited the takeaway as it advertises gluten free as I am Coeliac. We were stood waiting and a young lady asked if what we wanted and before I could answer she went to do something else. When we was finally served I asked if they were doing gluten free and the reply was "no", I asked if the chips were fried separately to everything else which the reply was "no l, the chips are fried in the same frier as the fish and sausage". How can you advertise gluten free when you are cross contaminating the food?

I have had a lot of different chippies all over the UK and some have been amazing but this one was on another level. The fish was outstanding. The chips were cooked perfectly. The curry source I don't even know where to start with that but it was amazing. I had a Scotts pie with it too and it was the best one I have ever had. Overall it was unreal, I will definitely be going back tomorrow or over the weekend. Thank you very much to the staff there too

It was OK, chips were OK, service was OK, my Fish just did not taste fresh, I eat a lot of Fish and Chips, this was definitely average at best.

Great portions , fish was lovely , a must when looking for a good meal in Berwick

We went in here for a late lunch as the place was dog friendly, I must say that the food was fantastic, I had the burger, a real burger not a cheap fatty thin served in a real bun and lovely home made chips, my wife had fishcake and was ore than satisfied with the 2 that came. Then there was the fish sandwich that my daughter (25) had, it was a lovely piece of fish 3 times the size of the bun, she couldn't manage to eat all of her meal. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Chips were ok. Fish was a solid grey lump and definitely not haddock First impression will be my last as I won't be back

After being asked to wait to be seated it took 10 minutes to get our food ordered , we ordered chips and chip butty and when they come the chips were dry and bun was toasted , could've been an option to have toasted or not in which I wouldn't have wanted , charged £2.80 for a standard 500ml irn brew which you can get anywhere for less than £1.50 , for a chip butty chips and 2 over priced irn brews it came to nearly £15! Wouldn't have minded if the food. Service was good

Best fish and chips we had in a long time.

Beautiful meal, well presented and polite helpful staff.

Had take-away fish and chips, some of the best I’ve had. They also had gluten free options for a family member of mine and I couldn’t taste the difference. Loved it, can’t wait for the next round.

Chips on their own £3.50, chips with cheese £5.60 🤷, staff were nice and friendly chips ok but an extra £2.10 for some cheese on chips is extortionate

We visited the restaurant for lunch as we were on a day trip in the North East, the restaurant wasn’t that busy. We sat outdoors I. The back yard enjoying the lovely summer weather. We made the order of soup of the day (which came very fast) and fish and chips which took some time to arrive and few drinks. The portion is quite big with 2 large pieces of fish and plenty of chips. The fish itself was quite oily, I know it’s deep fried but there was a bit extra oil. And the external layer around the fish was extra think and not that delicious!! The meat of the fish was quite nice, while the chips were not. The soup of the day was parsnips and chilli which was nice and tasty. The claim of the restaurant being the best fish and chips in the North East is quite a stretch, we definitely had better over the years in several other restaurants.

Beautiful fish and chips, friendly staff . Great find after a disastrous visit to castlegate chippy

Found the chips and mushy peas a little bland . Would prefer to put my own salt and vinegar on in the take away, which costs a mark . Curry sauce was nice and tasty.

Very poor service was terrible food not great

I love good Fish n Chips, deserts and friendly service and I was not disappointed!

What a brilliant find in Berwick on Tweed. A lovely fish restaurant and dog friendly as well. Cod, chips and peas, with bread and butter and a pot of tea for £12.95 - beautifully cooked and presented. I’d also like to say what brilliant service we received from Ellie and her colleagues. Treats and a water bowl for my dog too. Said to be the finest in the North East and I’d agree with that.

My families last night in Berwick we decided to go for a dinner in town and stumbled upon Coulls. We were absolutely blown away with atmosphere and aesthetics of the place to begin with. The servers where friendly and attentive, with food being brought out not long after ordering. The portion sizes where huge and piping hot. The food was cooked beautifully and was fresh as well. I had the baked potato with cheese and beans, I was delighted with the food! It was soft and buttery and completely filling. We were staying at the Haven park and would recommend the short walk into town for the fantastic food from Coulls over the Cooks chippy in the actual park. Coulls should be very happy and proud of their business as being from Scotland, I would happily take the train down often just for Coulls!

Best meal we have had since coming to Berwick, highly recommend it.

Popped in as we were passing through to Glasgow. Walked up the street and found this restaurant. So glad we walked in. Great service , fast and with a smile. The food was delicious and great serving sizes. Loved the fish cakes. Great find !!!

Absolutely delicious food! Best haggis and chips in the north

Oversized portions,but delicious in every respect, should downsize portions and prices, and train young female staff to at least pretend they like the job

Massive portion of fish n chips

This was a takeaway, no conversation other than taking our order

Was in today for the first time, i ordered the jumbo cod and chips with x2 mushy peas, my girl had half pizza and chips, swear to god i thought i had a battered shark on my plate, fish simply the best fish i have ever tasted, chips were lovely to along with the pizza. We have had fish n chips in or around berwick/ haggerston 3 times out of the last 12 days, all the fish so small not cooked well, the fish will blow your sock's off, if you are in berwick and miss this place, you have made one hell of a mistake. I got the jumbo fisn n chips, if you eat small just get the normal one, your tastebuds will thank you for it. Will be back before we go home.

Really great food. Curry sauce is to die for

Takes away fish & chips were 'bloody lovely'

On a day out to Berwick we returned to this lovely fish and chips restaurant for lunch.We had the pensioners special,fish and chips,mushy peas,bread and butter and a pot of tea.Very good portion of fish and chips.Next time we go to Berwick will definitely be returning..

Great food and even better staff. Went above and beyond when me and my daughter were in.

Tasty, large portions and gf options

The fish and chips are amazing and the best curry sauce ever. Staff are also so friendly and I would definitely recommend it

Best Gluten free fish and chips in a long time well done will definitely go back MMMMMMMMMM

Staff have an absolutely disgusting attitude

Fantastic Fish and chips . A more than Ample portion and the Battered Haddock we had was very very tasty and perfectly cooked . Very pleasant waitress who didn't even need to write down our order and still got it spot on. Highly recommend.

Lovely meal we had here. Staff so attentive,dressed smartly and very professional. Helpful regarding directions around town A lovely place we will revisit next time we're in area.

Got take away from here, the food was lovely but you get large portions we couldn't eat it all one portion would do 2 people

Absolutely amazing food. Price , service & the portions. Best chippy I've ever had & I love food 😁Sauces & condiments worth dribbling about . Staff are amazing in both restaurant & takeaway . Very highly recommended ♥️👍👌

Another great fish'nchips today, great portion, hot enough to get to cocklawburn beach, park up and tuck in.

Lovely sausage and chips served here

Disappointing. Had the best star rating in the town but the fish must have been sat a while before me ordering, wasn't the best. Chips were really nice and service great and friendly.

Everything cooked to order and completely fresh

We ate here last night.. delicious food, clean, friendly.

I drove around the UK sep/Oct 23and had fish and chips in many places and on reflection this was by far the best

Best chippy around. Nothing else to say.

Great f&c. Definitely lived up to their award. Mmmmmm

Just been for take out and it was absolutely lovely. Staff were friendly and efficient, food was fresh and hot and portions were huge. Will definitely be back

I'm sorry to have to post this review, as this place is my local chippy and is usually top notch. Last night 7th April, was one to forget. Having asked for a fish supper with a half portion of chips, it arrived as usual with a mountain of chips. Worse was to come tho, the batter was as crispy as ever, unfortunately the fish was dry, overcooked and had spent far too long in the hot cabinet... On top of that, I was feeling pretty ill this morning. Up til now this place has been my go to chippy, sadly I'll think twice next time. A pity.

Fish & Chips are just superb. Brilliant quality. Homemade soup was also fantastic. Lovely atmosphere and restaurant beautifully decorated.

Absolutely love this place staff are exellent and the food is always so lovely and fresh

Nice place to sit, family friendly, fish is excellent. Portions sizes huge... Kids portions possibly a little too big!

Fish and chips in the restaurant were excellent, very busy and friendly staff. We will be back

Good value for money. Good food and excellent service.

Absolutely fantastic chippy. Service was great, food was delicious. Truly lives up to its award as best in the North East.

It it best fish chips in England can't wait go again when down next

Overly expensive for sit in, £6 extra just for the privilege, no thanks. Walked out. Ship Inn in Eyemouth actually cheaper and no doubt better, keep ripping off the tourists.

Small menu in shop lists a three / four items that can be made gluten free on certain days, thankfully the day I visited was one of those. Food was tasty, price was as expected. Cannot complain!

Fabulous portions, freshly cooked, lovely staff
