Donwell Chippy in Sunderland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Good food cooked perfect nice service and very friendly

Very disappointed with food, no quality

First time ordering from here and it was amazing! We ordered the chicken tikka , donner kebab and chips for £10.50 . Well worth the money it was rammed packed and tasted Devine . Full tray of kebab meat and a load of chicken tikka on top then the chips were wrapped separate. Fed 4 of us and leftovers for tomorrow. Best kebab we’ve had 10/10 . Think this will be a weekly occurrence now :)

What can I say if your over 40 you remember the o my chip shop in Washington worth going to was the village when the Chinese guy owned it. This place is know the only chip shop in Washington worth giving your money to 10/10 prices are great lunch time special for under £5 with a drink or you can go to bells and spend £12 for the same thing and not as nice

Great pizza like everything else from this place and great prices

Best fish and chip shop in Washington by a very long shot

Yet again absolutely perfect 👌🏻

Done exactly how I asked , perfect 👌🏻

Fish has went rapidly down hill lately for some reason.

Haddock was bone dry just left it won’t buy again you are the only fish shop I purchase from very dissapointed

lovely apart from the missing sauce on the chip butty

So early in fact I missed the door I went off 19:25 / 19:45, I was in back garden and made sure my son was their from 19:20. I also didn't here my phone as it was in the house lol, u can't make this up lol as uve been after one since my sister got them for part of ma dads 75th birthday party stuff so been looking forward to it for a while lol.

What an absolutely lovely local chippy, visiting from down south and we were greeted by the lovely staff and advised on some different foods we don't usually have back home , Food was large portions at reasonable prices , the fish (haddock) was cooked to perfection and the curry sauce was lovely too. If you're in this area it's well worth a try.

Very tasty, will certainly order again

I ordered food tonight it arrived again with food missing I will never go back to this place again this is the fourth time the girl on the phone taking the orders ask me twice I repeated it back twice pitter bread and chips missing 23 pound order I spend a lot here every week never again

fantastic as always, only thing I'm not keen on is the curry sauce which is slightly spicy (partner loves it though) and not chip shop, but never had bad food from here

Shocking customer service, waited an hour and half food never arrived was told had to wait for the delivery driver to return to the shop and was expected to wait for a call back to let me know what happened so at this point looking at 2 hours to wait for food, manager wasn’t present apparently something had come up and they are the only person at the shop to deal with customer complaints. Beyond a joke customer service needs to be looked at highly recommend some training instead of having someone just saying ‘er I don’t know I’m sorry’

Food never showed up, women at the end of the line had no clue on what to do other than tell me that we will have to wait for the driver to come back, apparently no manager in to sort something out absolute shocking service normally spot on. I’d highly recommend some customer service training in hole to handle situations instead of being like er I don’t know

Always cracking chips and on those occasions that I get fish, never dissapointed 😋

Great tasty food. only disappointment was missed the curry sauce what asked for

First time mixed kebab absolutely amazing !!

Chips dry, half of burger black ( burnt ) got 6 chop suey rolls they were all wrapped together 5 were soggy and the other one so crispy hard had to take batter off as would of cut my gum. The only thing that was nice was the half sausage and the peas. Very dissapointed

Fish was very dry chips were cold

Used to be regular customer and will be again as after a long day called for lunch and couldn't fault it. Many thanks to staff as needed food after my other half was in hospital 🏥

Shocking! I walked out in the end and gave elsewhere our business. Called in on Sunday afternoon with my two children, stood there waiting for ages and no one took any notice. Everyone else was then spoken to and served. I was up visiting family and it was as if you knew I was wasn’t from donwell and completely blanked me in every way! Never experienced anything like it.

Not as nice as it used to be!! Garlic Bread wasn’t cooked, chips all bruised & fish certainly doesn’t smell fresh. Don’t think we’ll be ordering from there again as it’s not worth the money!! The delivery driver is a lovely/friendly man though.

Order was cold and over an hour and half late will not use again

Food was good but the delivery was too early. I had literally just walked into the street and he was at my door

Best chippy in the area, portions are very generous Staff dead friendly

Highly recommend an absolutely fantastic chippy

Love your food but takes way to long to be delivered 1 hour and 30 minutes I think is to long to wait for an order

Lovely staff and food really nice

Could not eat fish cake as to peppery all I could taste was pepper my tongue was on fire

Curry sauce tasted like a powdered sauce, chips were a little undercooked and they brought me the wrong order

Ordered online £20 worth of food and only the chips and salad turned up 😂 Rang to ask where it was and was accused of lying “I packed that order so it’s there” Well it’s not, said they’d send full order back out I’m still waiting…………

Donwell chippy is always good, but tonight we discovered why you pick up your fish and chips. Overcooked, tasteless fish, lukewarm chips. A shame, next time we’ll pick up.

One of the worst experiences I’ve had here first time trying this place tonight got treated absolutely disgusting waited 45 minutes for one item the staff is rude just had pure attitude and no customer service they didn’t even apologize or anything a wont be back as it’s terrible I will be putting this over social media!!! I ordered one fish pate we waited 45 mins for it and when my mother in law got it home the potato was hard there was one women with black hair saying I ordered a Mince pie not fish pate and there was a young lass with short hair I didn’t even get a apology from the staff about the wait was terrible

delish as always , won't go anywhere else .

No chilli sauce with kebab - chips didn’t taste fresh

Ordered 12” Kiev with a bag of chips and tub of garlic sauce, driver turned up with bag with chips and garlic, went back to the shop to get pizza , came back with same bag but chips weren’t fresh even though the driver said they were , pizza was nice, garlic sauce was nice but watery, chips weren’t nice cos they weren’t fresh, shame cos the 1st time we used them after they took over from the last owner they were fantastic, pizza 9/10 , chips 2/10 and garlic 4/10 , for £16 I can get better, sorry Donwell chippy you’ve just lost me as a customer 👎👎

Food is lovely and the portions are generous. Staff are nice and the place is clean. Definitely one of my regulars. Only downside is, you can order on just eat to collect but when you're told it's ready to collect, it's never ready

Excellent size portions good very tasty

the spicy mixed kebab was fantastic the chicken was lovely and it was nice and spicy was massive aswell will deffo get it again 👌

Normally decent. Forgot pizza tonight brought it was cold and greasy. Doner meat was awful and salad on wrap was awful.

our food was delivered in about 15 minutes after ordering, brilliant. food was hot and very tasty. fish was delicious. the curry sauce is lush.

30 minutes late. Don't mind it being late but it was stone cold so had been sat somewhere going cold before it was delivered.

First time ordering, and definitely not the last. Absolutely hands down the best chippy tea we have had for a very long time. Thankyou!

Gave me immediate food poisoning. NEVER eating from here again

Could not eat fish cake as to peppery also pitta bread missing

Our local chippy and the best by far!! We ordered a large amount of food (4 pizzas, a portion of kebab meat, chips and some sauces). Our order was ready to collect within 10 minutes of us placing the order, food was delicious as always! Reasonably priced and amazing value for money, the portion sizes were huge! Fed 5 of us and there was plenty left over for the next day!

Very clean and hygienic place, HUGE portions too. Very friendly staff. Now under new management and their menu has a much larger selection to choose from.

Very tasty pizza, deffo will be going back. Big shout out the delivery man that helped me while my other hand was taken up, he kindly shut the door for me so I could just get myself in. Little things in life. If I had change I would have tipped him, always next time.

Went on Friday What a disappointment the fish was half the size and the batter was soggy the chips were cold and looked as if they had been reheated at a cost of £15:70 for 2 so called large cod and 1 lot of chips felt so let down as normally they are lovely but I have been informed that they have been taken over so if that is the quality you are going to dish out I will not be returning and will be using the one in the Village which is still owned by the previous owner

Ordered the chicken tikka Nan bab and it was really tasty 👍

Really good fish and chips, we love this take away.

Lovely local chippy ,food was great price and delicious.worth a visit .

Ordered at half five still waiting for it to arrive tired ring the restaurant but line was busy then tired a few mins earlier and it just rang couldn't even be bothered to answer the phone so I could a least found out where my food is

Perfect and delivery driver was so friendly :)

Food was cold and kebab section was misleading

2hrs for delivery and arrived cold we had to reheat it. Won’t be getting food delivered again.

First time I have had a paremesan from anywhere and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Will certainly be ordering one again. Everything else on our order was very nice.

Very nice takeaway.good prices and huge portions.

Although we have been into the shop and bought food, this is the first time we have ordered via Just Eat and had the food delivered. We were very happy. The food we had was lovely. We will certainly be ordering again.

Absolutely fantastic yet again shop was really busy queue out the door. Staff were working their socks off and still were super friendly and got the order perfect.

Just had fish and chips possibly the best takeaway fish and chips ever bloody lovely cheers

Decent pizza but one was incorrect. Got 2 pepperoni instead of 1 and no meaty pizza.

Ordered curry and chips, curry was a tiny carton. Chips were inedible. Fish and chips had literally no taste. £17 wasted. Never order from here again.

I got recommended to visit this chip shop from a family member, the fish is lovely and is the size of a whale absolutely huge, however chips are not the best and sadly they do not sell the fish and chips as a meal you have to order separate. I would advise asking for sauce (curry//gravy) in a separate carton as ours was delivered poured over our chips which was disappointing. There is definitely nicer places to go.

Everything was great. Chicken burger could have done with lettuce tomato mayonnaise as well instead of just bun and burger.

Fish was so dry, too much batter hardly any fish. Garlic sauce is nice but curry sauce was a let down.

Best chip shop in washy order from here every Friday without fail 😁

Nice stuff, could have just stuck the pie in with chips tho...

Scabby chips, thought it was a one off but past 3 time collection and delivery the chips have been like me grandads toenails and he’s been dead 13 years. What’s with the scrag ends? Seen bigger and better chips on someone’s shoulder coming out the tavern on a Saturday night

Always great food, as it is busy you may have to wait a while, but it is worth it.

We are regulars, and food is always spot on!

Not a bad chippy. Nice fish cakes. Fish is nice , you get plenty of chips.

Excellent food piping hot 30 mins early also fast delivery

Caesar dressing only on first bite of my wrap, strawberry milk shake was fine until last quarter when it tasted of chocolate, looked and saw it was contaminated with chocolate. Disappointed.

Ordered online, still had to wait a while. Pitta was falling apart, so not fresh. Wrap was soggy, red cabbage drowned in vinegar.

Second time we’ve ordered first time was absolutely beautiful…. But tonight we got soggy food fish tasted like it had been cooked at lunch time!! Put right off

Took about 2 hours just to get a kebab and chips. Food was nice when it finally arrived but it just took far too long to be delivered

Great food tasted delicious was still hot when delivered. I would give this chippy a 10 star if I could.

Fantastic service ordered a large order for a party and they even put free pizzas in with a few sides! Would definitely recommend!

First time we have ordered pizzas from Donwell Chippy (we usually order fish and chips, our favourite place to go). Well we were not disappointed at all! Ordered for collection and they had our order ready for when we wanted it. It is reasonably priced and you get so much for your money. Pizzas were absolutely delicious! Staff are super friendly, as always! Will definitely be back for pizzas again, as well as fish and chips 😋

Lovely chips and garlic sauce. Pizza had a really nice tomato sauce. Price was really reasonable as well compared to other chip shops in the area. Highly recommend!

Been here on several occasions absolutely amazing food, and nothing is heated up later in day if not used by closing time they bin in and cook fresh not known that from many places now. Most places re heat later

I don't want to give any stars it was terrible, the fish had thick overcooked batter & I don't know how to describe the chips but they were totally inedible. I had more left than what was eaten Have gone to Donwell chippy for years but that's it I'm done...... x

Worst chips I’ve ever been served in a chip shop.

Extraordinarily generous helpings of fish and chips, and very nice, too. I would have given five stars but wasn't asked if I wanted salt and vinegar and I forgot to ask. Partly my fault but I'm used to being asked.

Best chippy in Washie, not just for the top quality fish but the pies are also beyond reproach. Also the chips are great and ample in proportion. Throw in the patient and lively staff and the place is well worth a visit. I go every Friday and they put up with me faffing about on the phone whilst I remember my order. Great chippy

Without a dout the best chippy around Washington.

Huge portions of chips! Should maybe offer a small and large option.

Bought a couple of sausage and chips gravy and curry chips were all scrag ends be a while before I return

Kebab was disgusting it had the most disgusting taste I’ve have tasted salad (if that’s what you call salad a bit of lettuce and onion) was just full of water and no pita bread definitely not be ordering from here again

Really bad fish and chips tonight. Batter was thick and tasteless, chips were dry and no peas ready!

The portions are massive, driver was extremely friendly and polite, as ordered a home delivery

Best fish and chips in the area

Food portions are massive, always pipping hot and the fish is always fresh and delicious. Well worth a visit. Lovely friendly staff.

Not very nice tonight had a kebab and pizza salad on kebab was just poured on with vinegar you can taste it .pizza you can taste the puree on it pizza is normally nice Not tonight pitta bread bone dry disappointing 😑

Ordered for 9 pm, I'm still sitting waiting at 9.45, don't bother, go to the village instead, shocking
