I called in tonight for Fish and Chips at Fridays in Darlington. Constantly good quality and large fish perfectly cooked. And the price at only £8 is outstanding value on today's prices. 5 stars.

First class fish and chips always. I have been going there regularly every two weeks for at least six years. A good variety in their menu. Customer service that would be hard to beat. Always enjoy my curry as an extra. Mushy peas are also recommended.

I think that the fish and chips here are perhaps the best in Darlington. Consistently good quality and value. Actually, their standard cod and chips is big enough for two people. 5 stars!

I have just had burger and chips and my girlfriend had fish and chips we have never had a meal with so much grease before the order came out of the fryer with very little drain off before it was wrapped up we won't be back............in reply to your response I understand that some potatoes hold moisture but this food was absolutely laden in grease...we called at Fridays on our way home to bishop Auckland..we stopped at a layby to eat our food and ended up putting the whole lot in the dust bin ...absolutely disgusting

FRYDAY's in Darlington. Went to FRYDAY's on Saturday 17th April 2021. Staying in Ovington for a week. The chippy closest to us was SHUT. So ended up going to Frydays in Darlo. Glad I did !!!! One of the best fish & chips I've had in a long while. Friendly staff, even through all of the Covid19 rules & regulations. I would really recommend that you give them a try if you're in the area. 😀😀😀👍👍

Nice big fish, well cooked, with decent chips, but it was spoilt by the amount of fat that came off the fish. It soaked the chips, and then through 5 or 6 layers of paper and pooled in the bottom of the carrier bag. Would have been 5 stars if the fish was properly drained and the price was a bit more reasonable.

Very questionable hygiene practice in this shop. The lady at the counter gives the raw fish to the fryer to cook and then handles money and your fish and chips without washing her hands or at least wearing gloves. Then she wipes her hands down her apron. Avoid if you don't want food poisoning.

Absolutely disgraceful food .we were served chips that were just awful and off. Fish dripping in fat and smelt awful. Staff when we took food back argued with us and were exstreamly rude .I have never tasted food like it and never want to again. With regards to your response it's a load of rubbish...a small amount of fish was eaten and I told you I kept some of the food back and will be showing food standards first Thing in the morning. Have you read a large amount of your reviews??? Can you not see a heap of these comments are complaints about the quality of your food??? You argues with me in the shop you were rude and disrespectful. You had 2 customers one young girl and one older man . You could see the food I brought back you could see how awful it was ..yoir bount to defend your business I guess but me I speak the truth and the food and quality was awful just awful and I agree with the most of the reviews you have ...the food is not good and if it was you would have 5 stars and you most definently do not .

Had a wedding in darlington to attend to over the bank holiday weekend asked the hotel receptionist and hotel staff for a good chippy. They all said frydays. Got here after a short 5 minute drive from our hotel. The shop was busy, it was nice to know they cook fish to order which i always like. We placed our order of two fish & chips and two kids meals from the big menu hard to choose but we got there in the end!! Whilst our food was cooking we got chatting to some people in the que and the staff and i must say how friendly the staff were, really polite and helpful. A young couple in the que said they travel across town to come here passing 3 shops on there way. After a few minutes our food was ready. We had ours open ready to eat in the car. The fish & chips were excellent. Nice tasty large cod with good size chips, portion was really good also, curry sauce was nice too, the kids enjoyed their kids meals of spam and sausage chips with gravy. we were stuffed after eating every single bit out of the box!! yummy yummy!!! Only wish we had a chippy like this were we live. will definitely recommend this chippy, very reasonable in price, good portions, clean and friendly staff. We Will definitely be back again when we are down again in darlington

The meal was large cod, large haddock and chicken nuggets all with chips, my daughter asked for 4 different things to which the first three items were not available, the chips were almost burnt, the haddock was very greasy to the point I picked up a bit of the haddock and had to wipe the grease of my fingers, I never did finish the meal. I was also disgusted at the price, I did look at the price on their menu online first thought for the fish was a good price for what I was getting, but when I had ordered the meal's it almost cost me £30. I will not be using this fish and chip shop again, Both me and my fiancee have been quite ill, after eating at this fish and chip shop, we are still recovering.

My family and I happened to come across this wonderful village fish and chip shop whilst on a short break. I must say the fish and chips are the most amazingly taste tantalising traditional dish I have had the pleasure to eat! A truly Quality British fish and chips, and the service from the family run establishment was everything you would expect from the hospitality of a village chippy to the quick service of a fast food outlet. Keep up the good work and excellent food!!

Regular fish was a good size regular chips was more than enough for 2. Chips were a big anaemic and soggy but fish was very good though batter wasn't crunchy enough, peas were also very good. Not a bad lunch but not in same league as some West Yorks chippis like Murgatroyds or Wetherby Whaler

Use this Chippie when visiting my daughter and we decide on takeaway for tea. They are an family run business and everything is cooked fresh while you wait. The portion sizes are huge we've made the mistake of ordering the smallest chips for everyone and still end up with so much leftover! The Fish portions are large also and prices are very reasonable.

Definitely the best Cafe in Darlington without a doubt, the menu choice, the food, the service is excellent top marks. I have been coming to this cafe for over a year now. This cafe should continue with same staff, service, menu choices and food. Best In Darlington by far. It would be an injustice and a tragedy if it was to close or change.

My recent visit to left much to be desired. While the oat flat white was good, the sandwich mix-up was a letdown. I received a cheaper sandwich instead of the one I ordered and paid for, and the staff's lack of friendliness added to the disappointment. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I couldn't address the issue immediately. Hopefully, improvements in service and accuracy can enhance the overall customer experience at the shop.
