Gormans in Newcastle upon Tyne

The shop needs updating and looks scruffy. That apart service was good. The fish and chips were old which was odd as I was the second customers that lunch time. To be avoided. Sorry

I have returned to Newcastle every June for my army reunion. Over many years from Australia and other than when the shop was closed for renovations I have always returned and had my cod and chips at the best fish and chip shop any where I have ever been. Thank you for your great food and service the way it used to be. I will be back.

2 Fish and chips bought and fish was inedible. We understand fish is expensive these days but since it is it should be not just edible but enjoyable!

Got 1 Patti and chips 1 sausage and chips and I fish and chips. Must say got loads of chips but I'm sure they were left overs from this afternoon. They were the worse I've ever had .chips were disgusting the batter on all the others were disgusting. Definitely not fresh and it was about 6 o'clock this evening so would have expected them to be fresh never go there again didn't expect that from a gormans fish shop but first and last time I've been to denton Road

Some of the tastiest chips I've had in ages. Come past on my way home from work, so may stop by more regularly

Worst fish and chips . They were completely dried up. When I rang and complained they said I should have asked for them to be cooked freshly!11 Complete waste of money.

Always hot and delivered quickly

Food always lovely and always delivered nice and hot

Got fish and chips must say they were beautiful friendly helpful staff would strongly recommend

I had the fish bites & they were huge. Very nice, been coming here for years & never let you down. The chips are always lovely & not greasy.

Great chippy bang on food from trucker

Just had cod bites and chips - I give 1 star for delivery. They were too greasy. Wasn't happy with them at all.

Just had a lunchtime "special" A kebab with chips. I didn't realise they actually put the chips in the pitta bread and then covered the whole thing in sauce, wrapped in a paper bag so that it drips everywhere. It came already wrapped so I didn't see it before I left. I think this might be to avoid complaints. I did ask for salt n vingear on my chips before leaving but as it was wrapped i just said not to bother . It looked disgusting when I unwrapped it. Doner meat - very fatty and lots of gristle Chips - tasteless and only ate 2 but there wasn't many anyway Garlic sauce - not like any I've ever had before or ever want to try again Cost - £3.99: some might enjoy but no for me.

The Best Fish n Chips ever! I’ve been eating here for 25 years and always been the best, I’m originally from South Shields so I’m a good judge when it comes to eating fish n chips, 10 stars!

Sorry but the food is not as nice as it used to be I travel from gateshead for years to this fish shop but last few times it’s been awful so not sure if new owners or what but no longer will I be using it shame

Cod with chips. Haggis. Large curry. Split with F&C with my mam and she had 80 % of the curry sauce, and I had the haggis on my own. Chips were scrumptious. Fish was generous, flaky, and the batter was light and crunchy. Curry sauce was stunning. Haggis was fine. I see the one star reviews on here. I consider my experiences over the years and I can’t reconcile the two. This is a good chippy.

Always 10/10! The lady who served me this evening was so kind, made my day!

Veg tastes fresh and parmo is too delicious. Best customer service .

Absolutely shocking. 2hr wait for delivery of 2 fish and chips. Eventually arrived stone cold. Customer service was shocking. When calling to complain the girl had the audacity to hang up on me

Absolute joke of a business. 2hrs for 2 fish and chips. Apparently traffic was a nightmare. We live less than 5 mins away. Great customer service when they hang up on you..

Fantastic food after putting in a huge food order for my dance studio. 21 fish, 26 chips, 9 pies, sausages and curry's, it all arrived red hot perfectly cooked and big potion sizes, everyone enjoyed it 😀

Had to repeat order several times even though I had paid and placed order with only three people in the due with three members of staff I only wants kebab and chips and pie, chips gravy and mushy peas because and a bag of batter because I had to repeat my order to get it right she got snappy I did not bite and they still got it wrong I finally got the order right for low quality food kebab was rank my friend had a bite of the pie and spat it out it was like jelly not flaky as it should be you can tell Jocelyn wasn't there as quality control was shocking

Great food, especially the fish and chips. Have been going here as long as I can remember.

MUST BE THE BEST FISH AND CHIPS YOU CAN GET!!! WITH A GREAT DELIVERY SERVICE. IF YOU LIKE FISH AND CHIPS YOU WILL LOVE THESE!,I HAVE HAD FOUR DE!VERIES AND THE STANDARD IS ALWAYS THE SAME.!

Chips were dry and tasteless and the burger in batter was full of grease uneatable

The Chips were hot and chunky but hollow, cooked poorly, greasy shells...worst chips I have tasted in nearly 50 years!, the prices for this area were too much. AVOID!

Absolutely disgusting,the fat taste like old fat.

Is hard to rate this place as I went in when the shop was almost closing so had to take what was left. The fish would have been nice if it was fresh cooked and the chips had been sitting too long so we're greasy. But I repeat we did go in twenty minutes before the shop was due to close

Dry fish & chips £10😲used to be one of the best..now one of the worst...would never return.☹️

AWFUL. I asked if the fish were fresh out the oven was told yes. Fresh yesterday probably it was awful even the dog wouldn't eat it and he eats anything. Won't be back! they used to be worth the money

I was working in Newcastle and passed this fish shop. Food was fresh, cooked properly and very nice at a good price Would recommend to anyone.

Denton road shop,fish and chips for two ,cost £20,far too many chips ,they were cold ,fish was dry , absolutely shocking waste of money,will never go there again.

This chippy has gone down hill. Prices have gone up silly amounts. They refuse to cook anything within the last 30minutes of opening that's even if they're open. I've visited several times during their opening hours to find the place closed or locked up. The staff all seem really grumpy too. Also doesn't take card.

Got 2 haddocks plus 1 chips and large mashy peas. It cost almost £20. The haddock tasted of ammonia. Threw them away!!! Chips were not up to standard. Mashy peas were nice. Very disappointed with the fish!!!! Hope I don't fall sick!!!

10 quid for Fish N Chips. Wouldn’t mind if they tasted nice, but I’m sorry it was not worth the money. Obviously sat under the heaters for too long as it was dried out. Cook to order if you haven’t to foot fall. Won’t be going back. To think I used to rate this place Judging by the reviews it’s on a slippery slope

The worst food I've ever seen or tasted

2x fish n chips and 1 fish £30🤔

Why have they changed the cartons? Cheaper put fish on top of chips now so stick to chips when taking them out, looks like changed fish too, flat as pancake and now £10.50 , ffb cheaper now !!! Putting prices up and not as good 👎

£10.50 is beyond a joke for whitefish say cod with chips. I'll add the extra to my fuel and find a suitable replacement thanks...... Good luck

For the new price of £10.50 for fnc and £2.50 for chips (was £8.50 a very short while ago) sharn't be going back. Fish over cooked, someone took their eye off the ball I think. Hotties recommended on Broadmead Road so will try that next time.

Second time I have been and they have got the order wrong should have learnt from the last time. Will remember never use this fish and chip place in future. What I did get wasn’t nice.

Really friendly and helpful service at the Westerhope branch. We were able to phone ahead so freshly cooked fish and chips ready to pick up. Senior portions more than adequate and pineapple in batter was delicious!

Couldn't rate the food as didn't bother, in COVID times to be cash only is unbelievable smacks of a business in decline. During lockdown I drove over to get fish and chips and they said only doing deliveries so I rang to order for delivery but my postcode was outside their catchment area. Asked if they could deliver to my car outside their shop but they said they couldn't do that, for what reason I really don't understand and they couldn't explain either. Seemed to almost take pleasure in refusing service.

That I’m the only customer leaving positive reviews doesn’t escape me. It also doesn’t concern me. I’m in no one’s pocket and I’m confidant enough in my palate to distinguish between wheat and chaff. Fenham fish bar was closed on Jan 4. That was my first choice and when I drove past to recce the parking I was el devo to see the shutters down. I said to me mutha shall we try Gorman’s? Aye, came the response. Drove down. Shop lights blazing. Spirits raised!!! A thrice of cod and chips (the neighbour wanted a go) and two curry sauces completed the order. Curry sauce was good. I live in London and they don’t routinely do curry sauce. I covet it. Chips were above average. Look, I’ve had better chips, but by exception, rather than rule. The cod was good. Flaky. Batter was average - not as light or fluffy as they truly greats - but it was fine and mostly smothered in curry sauce on my plate. Me and mam both scored it an eight out of 10. Feels about right.

The worst load of grease stricken mush iv had the displeasure to taste..... It was so bad, my battered to within an inch sausage and soaked in old grease chips, were ejected round about the Darras Hall turning on the A69 en route to Carlisle... DISGUSTING...!?!

After waiting for an hour and twenty minutes for an order that we were told would only take forty five minutes to be delivered we called the shop to follow up on the order. The level of customer service we redeived was shocking. After telling the person who answered the phone that we were not interested in going ahead with the order due to the excessive wait time, the attitude we were faced with was out of order. We were told that we were 'barred from ordering'. despite being long term customers. I think that the wait time was excessive and we were well within our rights to complain but looking at some of the reviews on here it looks like we aren't the only ones who have received this level of service and I wonder if the owners really know what is going on. I would highly recommend that you look elsewhere before thinking about ordering from here.

Over 150yrs of business and still running. Same taste, flavour and I usually host my guests by buying Gorman s fish and chips at fantastic and unbelievable prices. Very courteous and jovial tillers

The portions are huge. But all dishes are tasty

poor quality fish all batter very little fish cold when arrived had to reheat, very disapointed at over 17quid will not be buying again !!!! waited 60 mins for them next time defo a chinese

Found this place on a whim. My god it was probably one of the best fish n chips I've had up north! Everything's cooked to order, fish wasn't soggy, it was just perfect! Chips were amazing too!

We love fish and chips but only have it as a treat occasionally. This Gormans does the best batter and serves great sized portions, so, although we have fish and chip shops closer to where we live we always use this one.

Got some fish and chips on the way home from work. Very nice Gormans is a chippy we (me and my parents) have used many times in the past. On odd occasions we have tried other chippies but they were never as good as Gormans.🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

The place has went so down hill its a joke, WAS my favourite chippy for a very long time. To start NO staff wear gloves, masks, aprons, or hair nets but do manage to wear jewellery, hair down and nail polish? Hygiene and health and safety regulations seem to have went out the window just like my dinner. Ordered my food and the lady who served me decided to use her hands to push the battered sausage in the bag THEN, proceeded to LICK THE GREASE OFF HER FINGERS?! RIP to the poor buggar who was served after me... The chips were just about warm and unappealing mixture of dark brown and green, not to mention dry as a piece of carpet. Was tempted to give my contaminated battered sausage a good old ring out there was that much grease in it. Would give zero stars if i could, seriously yous need reported to the food standards agency before yous make someone ill.

Hair in my food. Was starving at the time and still ate it and not gonna lie it was nice but hair situation might put people off.

Great fish and chips. Was disappointed to see that they do not enforce their stated 'all customers have to wear a mask' policy.

would like to say every time ive had fish and chips from here they were rotten wen you complainthe manager is very unreasonable will not buy from them again

Absolute disgrace. 1 star isn't low enough. It's not only the worst chip shop I have ever been to its the worst take out food from anywhere I have ever been. Asked for a tray of donor kebab, garlic and chilli. When I opened the box I had microwaved packet kebab swimming in grease literally dripping off. The smell was vile my colleague started reching when I opened the box and had to get out the van.the portion was tiny as if it was even eatable. Then the garlic sauce tasted of nothing and the chilli was bitter like it had went off. Can't even properly explain how bad this place is. I have never wrote a review in my life but this place is ridiculous do not eat here I warn you

Cant fault the food , but the staff are so rude

The attitude of the person that served me tonight was disgraceful. I’ve never pushed to the front of a queue in my life and I don’t know why this person would think I would. I’ll never darken the door of that shop again. That shop has never been the same for a long time.

Each to our own and the last review paints a terrible picture but every time we either pop in or get delivery, we are always very happy indeed! I have just returned to the region for Xmas and me and mam wanted a Gorman’s. Had our last one in November. I went in to the shop for a Haggis and chips and me mam went for cod and chips. Two large curry sauces. No one who eats and adores chip shop haggis is labouring under an illusion it’s fine dinning or if they do, they are deluded. But the haggis was familiar and with a nice pepper heat to it. Good colour and not over fried or battered or left under heat lamps for hours. Mam’s cod was plentiful, fresh and coated in a delightfully light batter. Chips were good (not amazing) and the curry sauce was typical of the chip shop style and nice. Staff are proper northern in attitude. Which is to say direct, friendly and no nonsense. As I like it. I hope the next patron who enjoys their food takes the time to leave a good review.

Fish bites were nice , chips nice but too greasy for me iam afraid

went here tonight for fish and chips and and cod bites and the woman who served me obviously does not know what she is doing, i ordered and paid for curry and gravy portions as well as chips with batter and a burger with no batter on got home to find there was no bun with the shrivelled up burger no curry or gravy and no chips with batter, i rang the shop to let them know that i had not recieved the said items and was told to come back down to the shop and they would have them ready for me, on arriving at the shop i was told i did not oder the items and i could now buy the chips with batter and curry and gravy what a joke this place is i even got someone elses portion of child cod bites with chips the food wasnt that good either would not say it was horrbile just not the best, what i would say is get some competant staff who listen to what the customer wants, also what happened to the customer is allways right, eh go to this plce and the customer is allways wrong will not go back and would not reccomend it either due to the arrogant woman who was working there tonight

Another great cod, chips and curry sauce. Food hot, plentiful and delicious. Delivery was quick and food well packaged and presented.

Probably the best fish and chips around

Quick service, great fish and chips and proper mushy peas

Been going there 50 years. Brill food, as always

The fish is already fried and kept warm in a heat plate so tends to dry up. You have to ask for a new one to be cooked! Recent order was fish finger butty advertised on a poster. They were clearly frozen fish fingers what you get in a supermarket! Could tell from the dark brown batter and quality. Not what you expect in a chippy. Why bother selling it. That was a dissapoinment.

Had a great memory of this place, felt embarrassed while having some friends across and presenting gorman as the best fish&chip in town

Ordered a kebab, battered sausage and chips and rang up so that it would be ready for when I got there. When I got to the chip shop, I had to wait around 10 to 15 minutes even though I ordered in advance and people who weren't even there before me got their food first. Disgrace and the staff are rude. Much prefer the Golden Chippy nearby in Slatyford, much better and cheaper.

Came in yesterday to order a basic meal of jumbo sausage and chips and told I had to wait as they needed to cook both of the items. Stood waiting inside for 10 minutes and someone else came in and ordered the exact same as I did but with fish and chips aswell. Very dissatisfied and staff were dismissive and rude.

Had to wait for chips at 1pm 10.mins at least haway man it's a bit rubbish ordered pie and chips with peas and a separate pie this was confirmed by 2 people got home 2nd pie not there wot a load, used to be one of the best but needs to get organised food tasted canny like 🤔😡🙈

Pedimos abadejo / patatas fritas y picaduras de bacalao / patatas fritas con salsa de curry para la entrega. Cuando llegó la comida, no estaba bien caliente, pero aún estaba buena. . . El pescado era enorme y las picaduras de bacalao eran piezas enormes y gruesas, tal vez las patatas fritas estaban un poco empapadas, pero ¡hola! En general, un gran servicio desde el pedido hasta la entrega. ¿Bien recomendado?

We have just had fish & chips delivered from Gormans & they were really lovely. Thankyou

Everything was covered in grease. Basic curry sauce. The little one was sick after eating, which we can only put down to the food. Won't be returning

Great fresh and chips , always has been.

All the gormans are amazing but this one has been my favourite for a few years now. I reccomend going to any gormans but particularly recommend the one at denton burn. Just personal preference.

Been going here for years, however the quality of the food has starting going downhill. Would not recommend.

Is it hard to get gravy sauce? Once again hubby picked order up, she done it with me before, what did you ask for again and moving the peas to gravy, young daughter likes the gravy , what did we get again? Peas dear me bring back the old staff who know peas from gravy

Gone from best to below average rapidly ,6 months ago was telling people they had to try Gormans ,unless regular frier is cooking its shocking more batter than fish ,over cooked dry offerings , bench mark now Tynemouth ,Seaton sluice & Blyth coastline ,sad.

Been going to Gormans for years ,the last few months the quality has nose dived unless the regular frier is on ,the fish is dry as sticks tonight's was the final straw small amount of dried fish surrounded by large chunk of batter should never have been served ,hopefully they may read some of the equally poor reviews & en devour to put things right ,a trip to Seaton sluice or the Coastline Blyth may help.

We used to order from Gormans regularly, but after a couple of poor quality deliveries, decided to try somewhere else.After a break of 7 or 8 moths we thought we'd try again.Mistake.Cod was dry and thin and the potato in the chips was starchy.The whole meal arrived less than hot.Will not be going back.

I have just received fish and chips from Gormans west Denton cannot believe it the fish is thinner than you would get from a supermarket out the the freezer and all dried up. Won’t be ordering from them again pure RUBBISH

I was back in the Toon for New Year and simply demanded proper fish with the chips. Feeling lazy, I ordered delivery and I’ll be honest was flapping after an hour and still no food! I called the shop who told me ‘he’s on his way’. The food arrived piping hot (phew!) but more importantly it arrived delicious. What a stunning cod, chips and curry! Well done Gormans!

Disgusting customer service I phoned for delivery one and a half later I phoned wasn't even out the shop they had my number they could have phoned needless to say I cancelled

Haven't been for a while & when at the Byker shop tonight didn't recognise any of the staff, but seems I had nothing to worry about. New female member of staff (didn't get her name), but lovely friendly service, with freshly cooked fish & a cheese savoury & chips. Thank you to all & looking forward to our next visit.

Honestly don’t know what to say the customer service is disgraceful rude scruffy staff, on my way in I saw one lad smoking outside the door with his uniform on. This put me straight off, then to make things worse he came straight in and started putting food in the pans, there is no way he had time to wash his hands. I ordered some chips and made a quick escape. I only went to this shop as my local fenham fish bar was rammed. No wonder this place isn’t I wonder why, never again awful

I’ve travelled a few times from Canada to Newcastle. One of the first things I must have upon arriving is Gormans fish and chips. I suggest you order the one piece with the chips, because the fish is huge. Absolutely amazing, if you have to drive a little bit to get to Gormans it’s definitely worth the trip. You will not be disappointed. Looking forward to my next visit.

Chips are always perfect. Prices are reasonable

Absolutely chuffed to bits with my meal from Gorman's. Everything about it was spot on! To everyone reading this, give it a punt; you'll thank me dearly for it. This place is a cracker, an absolute classic!

Ordered food for a delivered yesterday 8/11/19, and a mince pie was missing, called them informing them of this, no replacement sent out. Terrible, you pay for food you expect it, will not be going there again!

Llamado ayer 11, 55 aproximadamente, con dos amigos holandeses que nunca habían comido pescado y papas fritas, el pescado estaba bien, pero muchas de las papas estaban crudas, y como uno de mis amigos solo tenía papas fritas, tenía que dejar la mitad. Dejé muchos míos, decepcionado a medida que avanzamos mucho, pero ahora iremos a otro lado.

Después de haber encontrado un cabello largo y rubio en mis picaduras de bacalao, no pude comerlas, y tampoco era la primera vez. MUY decepcionante: (¡Además, después de haber comprado dos porciones de picaduras de bacalao y papas fritas, casi no había papas fritas! considerablemente y el tamaño de las porciones se ha reducido ¡No es una buena relación calidad-precio!

Excellent, best chippy I've been to.

Been going and recommending this chippy for decades but last few times I've been noticed chips still tasty as ever but portions propa tight I give them the benefit of the doubt 1st 2nd time but now reckon time 2 try somewhere else shame like.

Solo fui aquí porque Fenham Fish Bar está cerrado los lunes y realmente nos gustaba el pescado y las patatas fritas. Ojalá no nos hubiéramos molestado, desperdicio total de dinero, tiré más de lo que comimos, el pescado no tenía sabor y las papas estaban demasiado cocidas. Uno de los servidores se limpió la nariz con la mano y pasó a servir sin lavar. Definitivamente no volveremos.

Woman on the phone is the most rudest person ever I don’t know how she still has her job! Fish rubbish, chips not good they taste like they’ve sat there all day, you ask for batter and never get it. This place has went downhill. Won’t be returning.

Use here lots but changed size of chip only cartons tiny to everywhere else, bottom of it is half size of the lid , tight gota order sausage or sumit too to get decent portion

Just your usual fish and chip shop

fish was a bit dry and the kabab tasted like it was from lunch time .... one good thing was it was here with in ten mins

Great food & lovely staff. I cannot recommend it enough.
