Golden Fisheries in Darlington

Absolutely fantastic chippy. Everything cooked fresh and to order. Great value for money. Staff were exceptionally nice and courteous with all the customers, despite being quite busy. They take card which is very important in this day and age. Will definitely be going back.

imho the best fish & chips in darlington

Good chip shop fryed to my liking

Brilliant, the guy was very nice and professional, food was done to order and delicious, only reason why the atmosphere got a lower review is down to one customer which made my family and I feel uncomfortable and was very difficult with the guy but he still remained professional

Lovely drinks selection and staff are very friendly.

Great food, amazing service and always a good chin wag. Visit as often as we are up north. Hampshire has no chippy to match

Fantastic service and food definitely would return

Fish always excellent, fairly priced. Best in town Imo. Proprietor friendly,efficient everything cooked to order Recommend thank you ..

Lovely little chippy love going to these guys with the little one or dinner

Absolutely disgusting fish, whatver it was that was not fish. Watery. The chips were anorexic in colour. We all 4 us have ring sting and backsides redder than a baboon. We have not got off the toilet non stop since last night and stomach cramps galore. My sisters bog is working overtime. Safe to safe to say we will never visit here again.

Chips under cooked and very oily. Good sized fish.

Still cooks fish on request with his timer to make sure the fish is cooked properly.

Disgusting, chips luke warm, doubt it was Cod, flesh very dark and still watery, batter pale and certainly not cooked through, soggy inside could not separate batter from so called cod, what a waste of £10.50 won't go there again even if it was the last chip shop in existence Graham

Great fish and chips. Always freshly prepared. Highly recommended. Go here most Fridays.

Lovely food and well priced. The owners are lovely. Highly recommended.

Popped by for a quick snack before a long journey home. Waited in line, no problem at all, asked what I wanted, told them what I wanted. 2 people came in behind me, they were served, cash taken, away they went, barely any acknowledgement whatsoever. The fryer couldn't hear a word I was saying & I felt like I was the one bothering them. I just walked out. Amateurs at best.

Top class Fish and chips shop in Darlington. I've tried them all but Golden Fisheries is no 1 for quality portion size and the friendliness of the owner and his staff. 10 out of 10.

Not too bad chips were ok and plentiful and sausage good. It's worth a try

Lovely fresh fish cooked in light batter. 😋

Have never faulted the food but went in today and ordered food was £5.70 my mate aske for a coke as well and was told £6.70 which was paid in cash. Sat down and waited for our order. When collecting it we asked for the other coke and he asked for another pound when we had already paid. I pointed out we had paid but he wouldn't give us it till we paid another pound. On leaving I tried to be polite which earlier I wasn't and just say as long standing customers it is not good to treat us like that. He was rude and off hand. I will never give this thieve my costom again.

Beautiful fresh fish cooked to order .. perfect everytime..always get loads of chips ..highly recommend

Lovely piece of fish and batter was nice and light. Chips were great too. Definitely recommended.

Great fish and chips and a soothing place after a personal tragedy. Thanks

Excellent service and quality food way better than some of the fishshops ive been to

Great food, big portions. Definitely recommend

Great fish and chips and friendly staff

This chip shop is a complete joke. The best chip shop in town which is round the corner from this place in Bartlett Street has just closed down so there are lots of potential new customers on a Friday night wanting fish and chips. I’ve now tried to get fish and chips from this place 4 times and only managed it once, which was last year when Bartlett Street was shut because they were on holiday. The fish and chips was ok, pretty average, but the fish had barely any batter in it, it looked like it had been splashed on with a teaspoon to save money on the batter, rather than dipped in it like other chip shops do. The second time (again Bartlett Street shut due to holidays) they told me they had run out of chips. Not that they needed to put more on and it would be a few minutes- just that they had run out so no more chips that evening (and it wasn’t late - it was about 6pm). WTF? What chip shop “runs out” of chips? Now Bartlett Street has closed down, which I am totally gutted about, I have tried twice to get served at this place. Both times I have stood outside in the freezing cold with at least two other customers in front of me for at least 15 minutes and the queue didn’t go down by even one person. Not one. Of course I know that chip shops can only have one person in them at a time now, but the most I’ve waited outside Bartlett Street has been 10 mins maximum. 15 minutes and the queue had not moved an inch. At all. Last time I gave up and went home. This time, not only did the queue not move at all for 15 minutes, but twice, people who seemed to be the mates of the people behind the counter, jumped the queue, gave their order, and then came back 5 mins later to pick it up. I was so angry I asked them why were they so slow and why were they letting people jump the queue and they just shrugged. So I told them that their fish and chips weren’t that great for me to wait half an hour in the cold(and I actually think it would have been longer than that if I had stayed) and if they didn’t want my money then I would spend it with a takeaway that did, and went across the road for a curry. The guy at the Indian takeaway told me that chip shop cook literally everything to order, even on a Friday night. Everything. I mean WTF? What chip shop does that? You cook up the fish beforehand and then it’s kept warm and ready. This place had the chance to get a whole bunch of new customers with Bartlett Street chippy closing but what do they do - leave people to stand in the street on a freezing cold evening while they cook everything individually because they don’t want to risk cooking a extra bloody fish that might be left at the end of the night, and serve their mates ahead of people who have been queuing for ages in the cold. I can quite honestly say I would not buy fish and chips from this place if it was the last chip shop in town it’s a total disgrace.

Nice place but I asked for two chip buttys and two cokes and i only got one chip butty to busy talking and not listening

Only had chips,but they weren't very nice.

Decent portions and cod cooked fresh. Friendly staff.

Every time I come up from the south to visit family we always get fish n chips from here including a children's cod bites meal. In the past the children's meal came with a small drink and fun size bag of sweets. However the last couple of times they haven't given me them. I questioned why tonight when I went in and was told in no uncertain terms that they NEVER did that. No matter what I said the man would not believe me. LIAR!! They've had alot of custom from me over the years. NEVER EVER AGAIN. LIARS!

Awful fish and chips I've gotta say. Woman serving came back stinking of cigarettes. Chips well undercooked and fish had a funny taste to it. Never going back here - much better places to eat nearby!

So much for being open until 9 every night! I came over at 8.25 and shutters down and no times that I could read...if you're gonna close early you need to let people know. Either get on social media or organise some sort of signage! Not happy...

Amazing food! However, came on a Tuesday after craving fish and chips and it was closed (8:15). Eventhough Google told us that it closed at 9.

Great service, excellent food at good prices What more needs saying... if you've never tried this chip shop please give it ago, you'll not be disappointed.

Lovely hot food. Friendly staff. 10/10 from me.

Great food and service so we visit often!!

Tucked away in the backstreets of Darlington is this super little fish and chip shop. Impeccably clean and well presented they cook all fish to order using a high quality catch. Nothing flash (it doesn’t need to be!) but simple, delicious food at a good value price. Well worth a visit.

It's alright not the best but not much places better in Darlington

Nice friendly staff very helpful

We have been coming here for about three years and it can't be beaten. Even the chip we had at Whitby didn't come up to what we get here. We have tried other chippies occasionally if we were over the other side of town, but we don't bother now and just wait until we can get here. Great service, great food, great value. And in an hour I'll be there again ready for another two portions of fab fish and chips with mushy peas

Great value for money. Staff cook fresh and are very friendly

This was the first time I had been in this chippy but was very satisfied by proper chips, lovely batter and a great piece of fish. I would certainly have again.

Very good fish and chips and nice friendly service.

U get a lot of everything here always nice 👍 would recommend

Excellent chip shop , good quality food. staff lovely very friendly and helpful

I have been visiting this establishment for a couple of years now. The staff are always smiling and chatty whilst you wait for your freshly cooked meal. Fish is caught from sustainable supplies, not the North Sea so no worries about depleting our fish stock. The batter is crispy and never soggy and I have never found a bone in the fish. All in all a delicious tasty take away.
