Marshalls in North Tyneside

I have just visited Marshalls for a take away cod and chips. It was delicious, a huge meaty piece of cod, great crispy batter and lovely hand cut chips. Kudos to the staff and their hard work. I recommend Marshalls to anybody visiting Tynemouth.

We took shelter from a storm in here & enjoyed visiting. They were short staffed so there was no table service at the time. We ordered & paid for our food at the counter & had to collect it from there when it'd been cooked. We had chip stotties, battered king prawns & a battered sausage. All were freshly cooked to order & tasty. The floors were very slippery due to the wet so take care. They have a great selection of fish on offer, including seasonal catches.

This was my 1st visit as a tourist to marshall and its an old QSR in the location,The ladies who were preparing the food were humble and friendly..Fish n potato fries was bland in taste..with little bit of salt n vinegar it was bit better ⁷but the quatlity & quantity of food served was good !

We visited today for the first time, there was a little confusion regarding having to use a different entrance to be able to order food however once that was clarified the service was quite quick considering how busy the place was, I found the staff to be quiet friendly we ordered haddock and I must say it was definitely not the best I have had, however I would try it again but probably not the haddock.

Fish & Chips as they have been for years

Absolutely incredible! The best fish and chips I’ve ever had. A reasonable price with friendly and benevolent service. Will definitely be coming back and keeping it a secret 🤫

Proper fish and chip shop. Really good and good portion size.

BEST fish and chips we’ve had. And we love our fish and chips. Crispy batter, delicious chips, generous salt and vinegar. Immense. The servers were super friendly. And very good price. 100% recommend

Tasty, batter on the fish nice and crispy 😋

This Yank never heard of a Chip Buddy, and it’s not on the menu - but cant think of more savory treat! Great food! Great service!

Always brings back childhood memories.

The best fish and chip I and my wife have ever had, I highly recommend, the price was also reasonable was the potion size we got.

The finest fish & chips I’ve had in a v v long time. Just superb. The haddock in particular was fresh and utterly delish and by delish I mean…fantastic

One of the best places to have a traditional Fish & Chips meal in the UK. I also ordered a king prawns meal which was so delicious and crunchy. Some members of staff should be more trained on the cashier when dealing with the orders, other than that, you can’t fault this place. Highly recommend trying it.

Just had sausage chips and gravy twice to takeaway got charged 17 pound just looked at menu added it up and there's a 80p dif I'd like to no what that was for?

Miserable girl serving should not be in hospitality then £28 for two fish and chips and 2 teas seemed overpriced for aa average takeaway meal I originally requested the pensioners special to be told by above said girl we don’t do that in kids holidays ..quite amazed by that!!!

Good food very loud tight area and speed bad 3stars

Best fish and chips I have had in ages, including those I have had in Whitby. I like cod, lightly battered and well done and it was just as I asked. The fish was beautifully white and tasty. All fish was being freshly cooked to order, which I liked. No table service, but that was a minor thing. Also overcharged, but that was soon rectified when I pointed this out. Will definitely return to Marshall's when I am in Tynemouth again.

Fantastic . Had the Haddock with chips and a carton of curry and a.cup of tea.and sat on the table outside,best fish in a canny while

I've been an infrequent customer across the decades as don't live too local but always loved Marshall's due to being taken by both sets of Grandparents in the 1970s/ 80s. I visited today and was sad to see there was no longer service in the restaurant. I asked which fish was ready and the answer was 'not sure, but it could be cod or haddock'. Ordered 2 x mystery fish and chips with 2 teas and a fruit shoot. £28 odd. The chips were fab but the fish was overheated and dry. I complained discreetly and the manager quickly had our orders changed and the new fish looked much better. It was better but not brilliant. Sad to see the place like this - now just a touristy bog standard food provider. I can't see us returning. Initial service 5/10 Service after complaint 10/10 Chips 8/10 First fish 4/10 Second fish 7/10

Quick service and the food was hot. However it was rather greasy and even the small fish and chips meal was still too much food for me. The first few bites of the fish and chips were tasty, but after that the food was no longer enjoyable and I started to feel full and sick.

No table service despite using restaurant side. Cod very dry and chips not very nice. Staff looked miserable, when I ordered they seemed impatient to get rid of me. Had to go and collect my food in a card board box as if using a take away. When I had to ask staff where the serviettes were they looked at me as if I was weird for asking. Won't be back.

We went late on in the afternoon and we both had the monkfish and chips and a carton of curry, and it was as it always is at Marshall’s absolutely delicious, the monkfish was delicious surrounded by a lovely crispy batter, the chips and curry sauce where both spot on, would highly recommend Marshall’s if you’re looking for something special.

I enjoyed my calamari and chips however the garlic sauce was incredibly poor standard, I don’t even know how you can mess up garlic sauce but yous did. Sorry

Never seen such miserable staff behind a counter WAY over priced £3! For a sausage.. then a further £3.50 for chips what an extortion further ordered my self a coke for the blonde girl to slam it on the counter, the place is practically ran by kids and they take 0 care into preparation of your food will not be returning.

Queues where horrendous took 45 minutes to be served.

Lovely chips and speedy, polite service. Thanks very much 👍

This place has never changed in the 30odd yrs . Tiny narrow passage to left of buildings for take away and as usual was 10 deap . The only thing I witnessed was a person very badly on their feet coming into the sit down but for take away , They ended up not getting anything as the queue was too long for them to stand and the position of the staff meant we could not get attention to get them served another way. Fish n chips was great as usual.

The best fish and chips in the world. We never go anywhere else!

Very very busy. Be prepared to queue. We'll worth thd wait!!

Lovely fish and chips and much more at very reasonable prices staff were helpful and polite will be back soon...

poorly run, queue for a queues sake. the whole place couldn't be more passive aggressive if it tried, the foods actually pretty average, don't stop by for some nostalgic we must have chips as we are near the sea, go somewhere better. Any venue who signs off as the management is a wrong "un and you know it.

Well worth the money. Really good value for money. Food was really tasty

This was the saddest burger of my life. Chicken bun and nothing else. I also had to wait, as if they were creating a masterpiece. The staff is untidy, the uniform is dirty.

Nice cod and chips, quiet for a bank holiday, because of the weather I think

We had the best fish and chips there. Going there again this year.

Excellent takeaway. Scampi really good and very good black pudding. Staff very friendly and helpful. Also, Jimi Hendricks ate here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got fish and chips yesterday and it's the best fish and chips i have had, reasonably priced and good portions as well.

(3.5 stars but I'm being nice) Tasty enough fish and chips. But the service was mediocre, and the counter is very cramped at the end of a long narrow corridor (make sure you don't try to go in the front door as it's locked!). The price was fair these days at £10.50 or so for a 'standard' cod and chips, but 50p for a tiny tomato ketchup was a bit steep.

Worst fish and chips ever to be fair couldnt find any fish in my thick horrible batter lady behind the counter horrible just cause I went in wrong door

Chips we great, staff friendly, very clean.

staff were friendly+ the chips were really good

Outstanding as always!! Food was lovely and staff were excellent. 10/10 for me be back again

Thankfully we chose the correct way to enter (side door/ long corridor). Those coming via the main entrance were being barked at to walk round and use the other door, where they fell to the back of the queue. Found cheerless atmosphere, with impression they wanted you to just hurry up, order, and get out. I told my two children to go & wait back outside with husband as I didn’t like the vibe. Ordered two kids meals, and was promptly confronted by girl on counter that I was not under 16 so couldn’t order them. Had to explain myself (for a moment thought I may have to drag kids back inside to prove myself). Despite high prices was still charged extra for ketchup, extra for fork, bag etc (what next, extra for drawing breath inside their shop, extra for a twist of lemon on my £10 fish!!??). Ordered fish n chips and other bits which came in separate trays. When I politely asked for a box (as it formed a meal for my husband and I didn’t want it set out in separate trays along the sea wall, like tapas for the seagulls) was refused unless I was willing to pay extra, despite already spending a daft amount of money on fish n chips. When I raised this, was told, “sorry, computer says no”( otherwise phrased as, sorry , our boss has told us we can’t do this). I appreciate not the staff’s fault per se. Managers/owners need to give their heads a wobble re accommodating service. Otherwise, have given a star for serving warm, edible food.

Usually food from here is lovely but today the chips were that hard it was like eating a bag of Crisps not chips. At £3.50 a bag of chips and only manage to get 10 yes 10 soft chips was an absolute joke!!!

Me and my boyfriend had a cheeseburger and chips and a cheese and onion pattie and chips. The chips felt like they were undercooked, were tasteless and may as well have had no salt and vinegar on them. There was also random bits of batter in my chips, which clearly didn't come from my cheese and onion pattie. It was soggy, and was also tasteless. I put it in the bin. My boyfriend's cheeseburger consisted of two beef patties, deep fried with a slice of cheese in between them. I have never seen a burger made like that, even in a fish and chip shop. He ate it because he was hungry but it just tasted of oil and grease. It made him feel sick. To top it off, the oil tasted like old oil. Next time we visit tynemouth we will be sure to avoid this chippy, and go to subway instead.

Classic fish and chips at seaside prices. Cheaper than the one round the corner. Difference been eating with a wooden fork instead of metal ones. Fish was excellent.

WOW what a pair prats serving in there today. I specifically called in late afternoon to ask what time they closed. Had to wait a while as the 2 on shift were either busy gassing to the 2 customers in front or doing nothing. Was told 7.30p.m. Got back there at 7.15p.m. to be told we've only got chips. Thanks.

Love island wana be with 12 ich eye lashes very rude and rolled her eyes when I put my order in won't be coming back

Lovely staff and great traditional chips

Staff very good however no knives we had to eat with our fingers . Only plastic folks which snapped. £34 eat with your fingers

This shop is always busy. They offer basic good quality food and have indoor/outdoor facilities to eat and enjoy your food.

Lovely food always spot on and great customer service.

Was the best in the area for many years, unfortunately no longer. Greasy food, smaller portions, higher (Tynemouth) prices. Spoils the street scene with too many outside tables, advertising boards and greasy pavement.

Some of the best fish and chips I’ve had in years, atmosphere was lovely and service quick

Went with my daughter and ordered two small cod bites, was told small meals were only available to people under 16. Changed order to one meal in that case and went without, can't understand in what world that makes better business sense for them, or why someone with a small appetite can't just order a smaller portion of something. Daughter left a decent amount of the fish, didn't seem particularly fresh, chips weren't great either.

Really nice fish and chips , the kids had cod bites and chips and me dad had sausage and chips all got polished off and will be back again. Very nice BACK AGAIN and still as good as the first time definitely recommend this place.

I've been coming here with my children since they were little (so 20 years!). Now I live in Canada and have found it IMPOSSIBLE to get fish and chips like on our own east coast. I was visiting my youngest at Christmas and one of the first things I did was take them here to see if the fish and chips still tastes as good. It does! OK, when you walk in, it's basic. You stand in a queue in a long, tiny hall, pay and then move into the next room, which is all plastic chairs and basic cutlery. Within 10 minutes, your steaming hot fish and chips arrives and it does not disappoint. Crispy, fluffy fish, cooked perfectly (haddock and chips) and PROPER chips, not soggy, disappoint fries, which is what I'm used to in Canada! I must admit, the staff seemed miserable compared to how I remember them, but then they were working over Christmas and I bet they're not getting paid much. Overall, though, the food is fantastic and even though the surroundings are basic, you don't care when you can get fish and chips as good. There are other places nearby, but it's not the same kind of food - nowhere near as tasty.

This is the place to go for tasty fish and chips, they have special offers too. Love it and will be back

A real treat. Seniors fish and chips with a hot drink £8.50. Delicious and plentiful. Very clean establishment. No sooner has a table been vacated it is cleaned. Courteous and helpful staff.

Came into Marshall’s Friday night sat inside the restaurant and the lady explained it was just takeaway service which was absolutely fine but then seen an older member of staff handing out plates to another table, that did not look like food they served, other then that the food was lovely , and the young girl was so helpful.

Never visit this cackhole again, in the 8 minutes I waited for someone to even acknowledge me at the counter before walking out I was able to within 6 minutes walk up the road to Longsands, about 4 doors up order, pay and receivev4 large fish and chips and be back outside Marshall. 1 guy ignored us and started shoveling fish swimming in fat, 3 times 2 femal staff came in and didn't even acknowledge us one to do I have no.idea what another from my observation to change a till roll but no explanation, no apology, not even a basic 'be with ya in a minute pet', Their loss of income was my gain Lobgsands chips and fish were truly delicious and looked superior to the grease swill from Marshall (Myar5eh0le5).

Best fish and chips here for miles.

Not a nice experience. Always go to the other fish and chip shop if open as so much nicer and service is so much better. X2 fish bites x1 chips and a curry sauce came to over £19 and wasn’t pleasant. Fish was tail ends and batter disgusting 🤢. Ended up feeding to seagulls. Think we were so disappointed as we had such lovely food from the other fish and chips shop just a few doors up when we visited in September 23 but un fortunately this was closed on Tuesdays. Please don’t go here as lady serving wasn’t that nice either, little bit rude.

Excellent food. Freshly cooked.

Excellent food nice portions very good friendly service lovely place ( if you excuse the pun ) ha ha best we have had in a long time worth the journey looking forward to going back 😄

Popped in as my usual longsands kitchen was closed - 20+minute wait for a small chips at £2.80 - they put loads of salt and vinegar on which was a bonus Decent portion but probably won't go back due to the waiting times and attitudes of the staff - click and collect at longsands kitchen has been a game changer since lockdown

Cod and chips were very nice. Staff, very friendly. Nice clean place.

Had a delicious fish and chip there , (Angela, Hollia & Abbiy) were super friendly. Would definitely come again.

Nice food shame about the seats you got be very flexible they are rather small for us bigger people

Opening time 11.30 but didn't open until 12.55. There was a note next to opening times saying...depending on weather. Was a cold but bright morning. Noo snow,no rain. I tapped on the door several times, only to have 2 staff members scowl at me and shrug shoulders before turning their back to me. Appalling behaviour no attempt to discuss when was opening, I walked away disgusted never to return

Spot on! We use to come here as children it was so familiar siting in, the atmosphere was homely, food and drink were so tasty, Thank you 😊

Arrived at 1845 for a takeout fish/chip dinner (Tuesday) but was told they were closed. I checked the website before leaving home which said they closed at 2030. I walked in freezing weather for 1.5 miles only to be told they were closing. Pointed out its says 2030 only to be told "it varies during winter months!!!! well either up date your website or don't open. Will not be back. Poor service and indifferent staff

Fantastic fish and chips. Great friendly service too. Would visit every day if I could afford it!

Got to be the best fish and chips I've ever had absolutely beautiful and plentiful . staff are very pleasant and helpful . definitely recommend the haddock (so how ever you are cooking your items please please don't change it 👌

Lovely fish and chips for me and my friend had a lovely catch up, we sat in the restaurant was lovely and warm just a shame their was no music on just a little message incase any management is reading this please check up on your counter staff they seem to take a lot of negativity of customers I feel heartily sorry for them just young lasses doing their job.

After going to Marshalls for many years today was our last.Chips were mainly bits and got mushy peas which were cold and sickly sweet.For what you pay you expect decent stuff.

Had Haddock and chips yesterday, absolutely delicious everything was perfect the batter was the best I've tasted. Will definitely be my number one fish and chip shop stop from now on.

Lge skinless haddock was absolutely gorgeous can recommend no probs friendly staff nice coffee 1st class

My 'go-to' chippy when visiting Tynemouth. Always get a takeaway to be eaten on the headland overlooking the Tyne. Fish was smaller than I'd had before but flesh was tasty and batter crisp. Chips, as ever, were lovely.

A few of us went here for a meal but unfortunately had to leave as everything is cooked in beef dripping and nothing was suitable for our vegetarian colleague!

Came down with the family, and was spot on food! Definitely coming back, worth every penny. Amazing x

We have been coming here on and off for a lot of years and it used to be the best, but over the years and more so recently it is really bad. We went today and my husband had chips and gravy sauce and quite a few of his chips were not cooked and he hardly got any gravy. I honestly can not see us going back as we think it is getting worse.

We normally visit here on a Sunday and the food is always very good, this time however we went on a Thursday and the food was disgusting. We ordered fish and chips which tasted like it had been lying around for hours, the batter on the fish was all hard and the chips were all hard and mostly inedible so we won't be back anytime soon.

Poor quality should be a goldmine doing something wrong

Rip off merchants, asked for a small cod bits and chips advertised on the menu but charged for a large at double the price. Also fish was too greasy and chips hard and flavourless. There are a lot better options elsewhere close by.

Fantastic fish and chips. Great friendly service. Definitely be coming again.

Staff seemed pleasant, however was not listened to well as when I left and drove a few miles away to eat my sausage, chips and curry sauce I was disappointed to find they had forgot to add my sausage (which I had paid for). Chips and curry were to an average standard but the establishment had very little atmosphere compared to other similar establishments in the area. This is not the first time I have been in here and felt this way. I doubt very much I will ever go back and will try other venues in the area from now on.

Spent £50 on three fish and chips & drinks, forgot ketchup and was told to que for another 15 mins to buy some. Great food but awful service.

The worse fish n chips ever dried crisp bits rather then actual chips and soggy fish also childs cod and bites £5.50 on 2 bits of white fish not cod soggy batter and rotten bad chips. Never again!! Stay clear as such poor standards and awful service we only went in as Longsands were closed.

Great food. friendly helpful staff Cab driver recommended

Marshall’s hasn’t been the best fish and chips in tynemouth for years however I still always went for the nostalgia of the location to me going with my parents as a kid. However recently the attitude of the staff has left a poor taste in my mouth. They don’t want to be there, they aren’t polite or friendly and is a painful experience more times than not. Every time I go in the place it’s dead. Such a shame to see such an iconic establishment go like this. They’ve also started to use a different type of peppercorn in the mushy peas and it’s tastes horrid, you can’t even taste the peas and they’ve made it sweet. Absolute shambles

Nice fish, terrible chips. Staff really didn't want to be there, very poor attitude.

Regular haddock was cooked well & delicious & customer service very attentive. Highly recommended

Very poor! £10.75 small Fish and chips. Hardly any fish, all batter and chips all hard bits! Won't be going back anytime soon!!

Really good chips and curry sauce. Gorgeous white fish, just right amount of batter. No sogginess. Best fish and chips we have had in a while.

Really excellent, awesome and all the amazing words you can say about the fish and chips from here . Would definitely recommend! The service is excellent and very welcoming and friendly.

Disappointed as been here many times as have awards and also very popular when visiting Tynemouth and it's cold- great to have hot fish and chips! These have a think crispy batter which is delicious. Always a queue. They used to use vegetable oil but now switched to beef dripping which means pescatarians cannot have. Many chippys in the North East do this maybe since Ukraine or covid, so it's a struggle to find one that frys in vegetable oil but Chip and Fish in Benton are one of the few who still fry in vegetable oil

Bought fish and chips here recently and although the fish was a decent size, I was genuinely shocked at just how small the portion size of the chips that went with it was. The whole thing was served in a box that had two sections to it and meant there was nowhere near enough room for a suitable portion of chips within the box. Disappointed to say that what we got did not represent value for money, Marshalls used to be somewhere that you could expect to get a meal which was as good, if not better, as others in the area, however the new boxes the food is served in suggests this no longer the case. Also the place seemed understaffed and I felt sorry for the ladies who were serving the night we visited.
