Ordered online and collected only to find the order was wrong. Had to reattend to get fish. Both fish and scampi slightly over cooked

Huge shoutout to all the staff at both branches I have been to I have Grown up going to Barnard castle 149 and never had a problem food always cooked to perfection I keep coming back with my family and friends and I would say 100% the best fish and chips in the area! I have eaten in and taken away the food and the curry sauce is the best you couldn't get it as good anywhere else food served fresh cooked to order and very good portion sizes for the money Catterick and Barney both stores are fantastic always served with a smile shoutout to Netty thank you for your service I will always come back and it's me and my families fave place to eat or takeaway x

Was really busy when we arrived, and they have a computer on the till at arrival to order food. Given it was really busy i ordered from it. We had wanted to eat in. After a short wait our food was delivered and we took them through to eat them in the small adjoining caff, only then to be quickly chased and shrieked at by one of their staff who then threw us out. So unbeknownst to me I'd ordered takeaway rather than eating in. Why it mattered in an empty caff i don't know, but ended up eating them in the car. Made me feel like i was a 12 year old getting told off at school. The fish and chips were nice, but the service definitely soured our experience. Don't feel like we'll be back.

Food is good but the service is terrible!!!! Woman who served me yesterday late afternoon (21st January) was so miserable. I was stood waiting for ages to order, so long I nearly walked out, when she finally came to the counter she didn't apologise for my wait, just said "yes" !!! OMG ....... Unfortunately I now won't be returning .... I have myself been in business for 25 years, we tell our staff customers are the most important part of the business, maybe something 149 could take on board ? ..............

A very nice visit for a chippy lunch. The haddock was perfect. Firm, crispy batter and very tasty. Homemade mushy peas were the best I've tasted, ever. This was followed by a lovely sticky toffee pud. Most importantly, we were served by the amazing Netty, who was friendly, welcoming and couldn't do more to make us feel looked after. Thank you Netty.

We have been going to 149 in Barnard Castle for a few years, as the fish and chips there far surpassed any others we had tried, including Whitby. However, the last few times that we have eaten there, they have been nowhere near as good, but we thought that we would go back today and give them another chance. Sadly, once again, they were not up to scratch, which was very disappointing. The batter on the fish was pale, flat and not crispy. The chips were awful. Lots of them were crispy like crisps and the rest of them were extremely dry and tastless. I don't know whether it's to do with the quality of the potatoes they are using but they never used to be like that. Looks like we will have to find somewhere else now. Such a shame.

Visited Friday teatime ordered large cod and large chips to take home.Couldn’t believe how bad the food was!!! I had to go without and throw them in the bin. The cod was thick in burnt batter and there was literally no cod to find, You would get more fish in a fish finger!! Considering I paid for large chips the portion was stingy, and they were dry , quite hard and cold. This is our local Fish and chip shop but I’m sorry to say we won’t be returning as I can’t afford to throw £11.40 in the bin! I don’t normally like to complain but on this occasion sorry to say I’ve been robbed!

Bought a portion of fish strips that were nearly £6. There was 8 pieces of what I can only describe as scraps. I think the fryer must have forgotten to put the fish in. Un fortunately we had taken them home before opening so was impractical to return them. Chips were OK but cold

I brought my 2 grandsons for a meal. I am Coeliac and my eldest grandson is gluten intolerant. Not only was the GF meal here absolutely delicious but it was such a delight to find a place locally where our dietary needs were absolutely no problem whatsoever. The GF frier is completely separate, the staff are really aware and unlike so many places not only did I feel completely safe but for once (rarely) I also felt completely comfortable. The gluten free batter was deliciously crisp, the fish moist and the chips (with GF vinegar - I know - this place is off the chart!) were lush. This was the first of what I’m sure will be many visits. Oh - and did I say - it’s not just some times or some days - this place caters (superbly) for those who need or want GF - all the time - at NO EXTRA COST. Seriously if I could give it 10 stars I would. Thank you 149 for the best fish and chips I’ve had in literally years.

The haddock, chips and onion rings were lovely, didn't take too long for the food to arrive, despite the takeaway being really busy. My husband had cod, chips and mushy peas, he said they were the best mushy peas he had ever tasted. We also had coffee, we were expecting a mug each but we got a pot of coffee and a pot of hot water. Also loved the little alcoves for sauce, vinegar etc. Our meal came to just over £30 with no pudding but would definitely go back if we were in the area.
