Green Lane Fisheries in South Tyneside

Value for your money staff are friendly quick service

Always excellent quality food & superb friendly staff.

Old school fish shop , the fish was the star of the show! , crispy and tasty batter and a thick cut of fish . I think it was cooked in beef dripping. Portions were very generous , so it was a very cheap fish supper , which is unheard of these days .

Simply the best fish and chip shop in the world. David and the girls are great, always happy and chatting when you're in the shop.

Thankyou the owner and the lovely staff for my haddock chips and spam fritter

Fish and chips beautiful. You can allso get fresh fish and prawns .all the staff are very friendly, David will go the extra mile for his customers

Very soggy chips! And the fish was undercooked.avoid! don't waste your money.

Excellent service and excellent food well worth a visit

Hands down the best fish and chips in the area, I’ve been buying here for the last 5 years

We chose this place because of the excellent reviews and I must say that it was an excellent choice. Everything delicious and generous portions, very friendly staff and they even gave us 2 well-deserved five-star Pepsis. Ps for the owners we are waiting for you in Rome!!!

Great fish and chips shop,bid portions at reasonable prices

Clean shop. Friendly staff. Decent size food portions. Reasonably priced and special offers available too - these do change. We have been a few times and would return.

50 years coming to Green Lane whenever we visit from California. The best fish n chips in Shield’s and always friendly service. Thanks, David!

Honestly love this place have done since being a child, staff are always so friendly, food is always cooked perfectly and it’s the best fish and chips I’ve ever had

Fish and chips cold , fish also not fresh ?? Very disappointing

Often our go to Easter treat shop. Tiny inside, queues massive outside. Eventually (apart from smaller cut chips) emerged with fish and chips, cheese Pattie and curry sauce with batter. Lovely treat.

First time used here whilst passing got fish chips absolutely beautiful Fantastic organised well presented staff very efficient also have bit patter with there regulars Will certainly be back well done first impression

This is the best Fish and Chip shop around! Lovely crispy batter, fish cooked fresh to order. Perfectly cooked chips. Will definitely be back

Not many chippies do monkfish, and this place was beautiful, flakey fish, nice and juicy with a crispy batter

Fast and friendly service and good sized portions

This was disgusting large cod was Thee thin soggy battered cod pieces, chips were tasteless and scragg ends very greasy

Traditional fish and chips. This place has been serving the best fish and chips i have tasted anywhere fir the last 40 years I know of. Prepare to be overjoyed.

Lovely place and David the owner is lovely man

Best fish shop I have ever been to

The period between xmas and new year and fancied fish, chips and mushy peas. Queue wasn’t too big, plenty of chips but slightly disappointed with the thinness of the 2 pieces of fish. Not the best we’ve had.

Food and service are great, good prices. Serving hours are very limited though, hence 4*

I have used this Fish shop since being young and lived in the area. I now live further away in South Shields but have never changed my regular shop. Over the years these fish and chips have never wavered and are still as great as they ever were. I put these as best I have ever had

This is the best fish and chips shop, staff are very friendly and the prices are great.

…. Down at the beach with the dog, thoughts turned to chips, so we stopped off at Green Lane fisheries (open 11am to 3pm Saturdays). Thinking of the dog and his love for fish we ended up with freshly cooked chips and 2 pieces of cod. Obviously people had similar ideas as the small shop was busy, with great service. No ‘batter’ was available but our meal for two plus one dog was lovely.

Staff are amazing and food is to die for. The fresh prawns and lobster are the best I've tasted, costing me a fortune! 🤣

Beautiful fish and chips best by far would highly recommend

Best fish and chips in South Shields Friendly family run business. Love this place. Loads more variety now.

Owner is lovely man and all staff lovely and kind couldn't have friendly staff and the fish and chips are the best I've ever tasted

Called around 2:00 p.m. on Saturday for fish and chips they were stone cold and undercooked even the seagulls took some persuading!!!!

Beautiful food, lovely staff and excellent service! We Love Green Lane Chippy 😁

Food was excellent fresh hot staff first class definitely will b back

Iv got to be honest.. this chippy has the best chips sround our town.and you can buy lots of fish, not judt cod n haddock. Everytime i walk in to this chippy. The owner says Hello there how you doing. N his staff our lovely lasses down to earth. Well done green lane chippy

Got to love the fish from Green Lane. Spot on!

First time I’ve been and it will be the last, two small fillets asked for large cod. Fillets batter was soft and stodgy, threw half in the bin - £8.80 wasted

Best fishcake and chips i had from there yet ate the fookin lot.

Always good service, good staff and good food, always come here when I can even though other chip shops are closer, can't beat the fish and chips

Best fish and chips in South shields Big portions and well worth the money And I LOVE the curry sauce 😁😁

We live very close great chip shop only niggle is they don't sell pies but a wide variety of fish

Everytime I've collected food I havent been disappointed this is going back from 10 years ago to now just as nice as every, extremely friendly staff, great customer service one of the best family style chippys we have around also battered crabsticks are to die for

Great service and value for money great food

Have visited this fisheries a number of occasions and would like to say it is the loveliest food I have tasted in a very long time. All the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable of the fish. Would score a massive 10/10 every time 😃

Lovely wide range but chips weren't the usual quality unfortunately

Love this place cracking food great staff

Tried the fish finger sandwich meal and was not disappointed really did enjoy this and the fish was chunky

Very nice, you can also get small fish chips at a good price.

I have been going here for years and the quality of the fish is second to none and they are always willing to travel and find the best fish, Unfortunately the chips are absolute disgusting. I will still give you a 5 star but you need to something about your chips !!

Fish was cooked to perfection as always

Great fish and chip shop. Battered crab sticks and curry yup

Fantastic as always fresh fish and chips were top notch ...very generous portions .

This has been my local fish and chip spot for decades... in fact, it's been that way for as long as I can remember. It's kind of a tragedy that this isn't often mentioned in those "Best Fish and Chips of South Shields" lists, and rather it's overpriced and underwhelming places such as Colman's and the like that seem to get the limelight. Now, I'm not trying to slate Colman's at all here, I'm simply saying that I find Green Lane far superior to anywhere else I know of when it comes to fish and chips. I remember going here as a child with my parents (I'm in my mid-thirties now) and the place has never changed. It's old-fashioned, traditional, clean, warm and friendly. I visited recently and the manager handed a can of pop to a kid waiting in line just in front of me, which brought back fond memories of when he did the same to me back when I was a young'un. (I tried not to take offence that he no longer saw any such youthful charm behind my eyes, and thus I'd have to pay for my pop like normal.) That's the kind of stuff you don't see anymore, the warm and special treatment of what seems to be a bygone era. That really is great to see. In my experience, their food is always lovely, the portions are very generous, the value is unbeatable, and the staff are always friendly and actually look happy to be there. This, to me, comes as quite a shock to the system when you go to a lower standard place in the town centre, for comparison, perhaps to end a night of ale, and you see the pale, grim beings behind the counter, shovelling toenail clipping-style chips into paper with one hand while they roll a cigarette with the other, often shouting at each other in a type of undecipherable chippy code. Green Lane has it down pat, knowing what's best and keeping things the way they work best too. They're not fixing what isn't broken, they're not begging for followers on Instagram or for you to add them on Snapchat for 10% off your next order. They're just doing it right. I'm going to keep going back here when I want fish and chips, and if you're reading this, I advise you do the same! Well done everyone there for keeping it fresh and real all the time. All the best!

Best fish and chip shop in Shields

First time I've been in and always wanted to try and we did today and got to say the staff were excellent very friendly and like to have a laugh and the fish and chips were unreal thanks guys thoroughly enjoyed it

Stumbled across this chip shop from a clients recommendation, and I’ve got to say wow! The staff are extremely polite, friendly and great at what they do! The food is delicious! The fish and the chips both have great flavours! And you can tell how fresh the fish is! The prices are extremely reasonable! And amazing sized portions! Would strongly recommend if your in the area!

Quality still, a lovely way to warm up after a seafront walk (it’s not near the sea mind you). Fish and chips, batter and battered sausage. Hot, ready to eat, lovely. Covid rules in place so may have to queue outside if busy.

Traditional Fish and Chip shop, that gives value for money, Good sized portions. A range of choice , nothing over priced. and very tasty. Staff helpful, quick and have good banter.

Been coming here for 20 years now, and have not once had anything less than Great Fish and Chips, People travel miles to come here, and for Good reason,

Really good to be back in shields and have a hearty God Middle and Chips.Ordered three portions and it could of fed four people.Well reco mended.

Glad the chippy is open during lockdown but we were unable to make a purchase as it is cash only. Why is it cash only? Seems suspicious in this day and age , and an unnecessary risk for me and my family.

I'm really fussy about takeaway and more often than not disappoint but not here. The BEST fish and chips I've had for a very long time. Beautifully cooked with fantastic fresh ingredients and a huge portion. Mushy peas and curry sauce to go with them served by lovely friendly staff. Cant wait to return!

One of the best fish and chip shops I’ve been to, friendly staff and owner, I come all the way from Gateshead when I fancy fish and chips cos it beats all my local fish and chip shops, massive portions aswell, this shop is just on a different level to other fish and chip shops

Been a long time since I visited my old stomping ground in shields . Amazingly the staff recognised me !!! Don’t know if that was good or bad for the waistline 😂 Amazing haddock just as I remembered lovely chips and fantastic friendly service . I’ll be back and hopefully not be another 10 years .

Well stocked fridge and variety of sauces. Good portion size. Happy staff. Good quality of food. Just what you need - we will return.

I love this fish shop. Fresh fish cooked to order and a first class staff. Wouldnt go anywhere else.

Absolutely amazing fish and chips. Cooked fresh. The meal was outstanding. And the portion size is big. Definitely recommend.

Very disappointing experience tonight, asked for crispy batter but when we got them home they were anything but!! Expensive for for what they were, used to be so good, won't be back!!

Every Monday when I finish my game of bowls I get my fish and chips. David,Mandy and Hayley always make you feel welcome and ask how my night went , the fish melts in your mouth the highlight of my day

I’ve always considered this place one of the greatest chippies in the north east, and last time I went I was massively disappointed, the fish was dry and the chips just weren’t up to normal standard, I took it on the chin and put it down to an “off” day.Visited again today and got the sausage and chips, the sausage was a little overdone and the chips again were over greasy and again well below their standard.Sadly, I’ll not return.

One of the best fish and chip shops I’ve been to, friendly staff and owner, I come all the way from Gateshead when I fancy fish and chips cos it beats all my local fish and chip shops

Always get fantastic service from the staff. Plenty staff so the queue goes down quickly, always very busy. Delicious fish & chips every time, good portions.

Excellent fish and chip shop which consistently provides the best fish products in the local area. Along with good customer service and banter from the staff it makes a top notch chippy.

Over a number of years this plaice has soled really fantastic food. Cod not have been batter. Never haddock better food.

Brian and the team never fail to delight with what must be the best fish and chips in south shields just don't go on a good Friday the queue was half way up green lane, only to be expected I suppose when people know its reputation.

The manager, his wife and staff always take time to welcome you no matter how busy the fish shop is. This is an old fashioned shop with fishing memorabilia and art all over the walls. If you want something other than cod they will always try and get it for you. Couldn’t fault our supper tonight, fish bites and chips, cheese Pattie and chips and gravy and the obligatory ‘batter’.

Always fresh and huge portions. One fish and chips usually does for 2 of us and one child. Good value and delicious

Been a favourite of ours for many years. Called in last Friday and have to say the fish was absolutely delicious. The staff in this shop are the friendliest you will find anywhere. Thanks to the lady with her hair in a donut for the Friendly first class service

Consistently the best fish and chips in South Shields. Always a good welcome and a great choice of fresh fish, fried to order.

Always use green lane fish shop great selection of fish we have not been disappointed over the years always generous portions

Quality fish and chip are to be had here. There are various options apatr from the traditional fish and chips but you would need to check for availability as some are weather dependant. Portions are really generous . The staff are first class and the owner and his son always have a chat with you in the queue.Definitely worth a visit.

Visited today after recommendation. Sons already been told he is easily pleased! Worst fish and chips I have ever had. Batter was soggy haddock was tasteless and soggy, both dripping in fat. Chips were the same. Our dogs and cats usually get a treat of...

Delicious fish and chips and soft rather than hard batter which is so hard to find and hardworking staff who make all the difference. A true gem !

Great chippy where you can still get batter (spread lurpack on your bread and crunch it in its orgasmic )...

Este es uno de los mejores comercios de pescado que he probado. El personal es amable, te dan enormes porciones de comida fresca de calidad. Que usar al menos una vez al mes.

Quizás simplemente elegido un mal día para probar este lugar, ya que muchas personas lo clasificó. Pero mi pedido de patatas fritas, salchichas y la salsa no estaba a la altura.

Visité vía verde el lunes después de leer las críticas de aquí, y también unas cuantas personas ha dicho que es perfecto.

This fish shop is amazing the owners run it in a truly professional way and are totally hand's on and very friendly. The staff are imaculate dressed uniform and serve efficently and make a great team There is always a good selection of different fish which is freshly cooked. My personal favourite is Skate or Lemon Sole and is quality and always beautifully Cooked and presented

Been a few times recently as developing a property nearby and it's as good as ever! Love the fact that they have so many different fish, and all can be cooked fresh to order. It's always worth the queue!

Been going to this place for years amazing staff amazing owner you always see him helping out.Best of all they sell battered crab sticks which are just simply amazing

We are so lucky to have 2 of the best chip shops within a few miles of each other. I can't decide which is best between green lane and Daniella's in east boldon.The staff here are so friendly, polite and welcoming and if I go in with my daughter they always give her a free bottle or can of pop.The portions are very large even if you ask for a small and the food is very nice. Top marks!

Everyone tells me that these are fabulous!Today bought cod and chips, Chips were cold and soggy, Fish was grey. I'm sorry but I won't be coming here again.

Quite simply the best in the North. Staff are fab! Owner is lovley and the food is outrageously good.

Fantastic quality Fish and chips served by professionals. Perfect in every way. Batter crisp and delicious. Reasonably Priced. Runs rings round another well known Chippy in Shields! Well Done.

As a lifetime commercial fisherman in the North Sea I do know quality fish and this is exactly what you get here at a reasonable price. If this shop was in the town centre you would. Not get near.Too many of our fish and chip shops use skinned Icelandic frozen cod for convenience and call it fresh local fish which it is definitely not. I do know this shop buys its fish from North Shields fish Quay which is one of our premier fresh fish ports on the North east coast . We use this shop as a family at least once a week

I have used Green And Chippy now on and off for over 30 years. Brian and David are always welcoming and the staff are very good . You can not beat there standards always excellent. There are other Chippy in South Shields but none as good as here in my opinion.

Go to this fish shop a lot it is nice and clean and the staff are nice some times there is a queue because it is always busy

growing up eating there fish and chips always seemedgreat , but as I have gotten older and more travelled ,it seems average
