Clean and tidy shop,fish and chips were excellent.

Excellent food and excellent service. Who could ask more.

If you like fish and chips and you are anywhere near Shildon visit this lovely clean professionally run fish and chip shop My friend and I had the pensioners special and sat down in the seating area Fantastic , with tv to watch as well Well done Sarah we enjoyed the crack with you too

Lovely place lovely people AND they look after workers in the area too. Love the coffee Sarah's Plaice 😁

Just had my good Friday fish and chips and what can I say apart from mmmmmmm . This was the nicest fish and chips I've had in a long time . was unbelievably fresh and the batter was perfect, you will be hard pushed to find better.

fish is lovely , just flakes apart .

Staff very friendly 1st time and won't be our last good place

Great fish & chips ..used to have our own chippy & can honestly say the food is top quality & value for money ..lovely friendly staff too & very clean ..thank you for a lovely lunch 🙂

Food and service has always been good

A clean chippy with clean oil lovely chips and fish with a nice and crispy batter with very helpful staff

Tasty, tasty, very, very tasty. Their very tasty. Mmmmm.

Just bought large chips saus n peas. For a large chips we counted 30 chips. How is this large.... £6.50. Come on Sarah this isn't a value for money portion size. They are getting smaller. Server was too bust not attending to.customer chatting to staff member about her hangover. Betty's so much more value for money.

Very friendly staff, I would highly recommend Sarah's Plaice for food if you're in shildon, right next to the bus station

Best English fish and chips in the North East 👌

1st time here. Friendly polite service. I can't describe our fish, chips and peas other than excellent!!

We had the best reason ever to visit someone called Sarah was with us....we entered the takeaway side and was invited to go through to the restaurant area and someone would come through and take our order. Limited menu, but only to the food you would expect. We had someone with a w/c now this isn’t wholly accessible if you need w/c it is a little narrow but anyone who can transfer or limited mobility can negotiate the way through, w/c is well kept and smells lovely. But back to the food. When the lady returned, she thought we looked a little cramped and immediately without hesitation offered to move the entire restaurant seating and tables around to better accommodate our needs. the food was served on appropriate and clean plates and the food......We had fish bites which were fried lovely light and with that satisfying batter taste but not to doughy or crisp. Awesome....the kids went for Sausage and chips ...of course they did an reported it was lovely again would of been nice for a few more chips....(again of course we would all like more chops...lol) We asked for bread and butter and some beans. my only criticism was I don’t think if your sitting in it should be to much to be asked if you want peas or beans with any meal without extra cost but we were not charged for the cups of beans that came out so it wasn’t that bad....it was just when I started eating I realised beans and bean sauce over the chips was missing. We couldn’t knock the service it was welcoming practical and professional. After we ate, we went through to pay. on leaving we met the real Sarah of Sarahs place and little one was offered a takeaway cup to take her drink she was still drinking, kids.... A thoroughly delicious meal and at only 10 squid a head considering what we had and where delicious. Thanks everyone at Sarah's Plaice.

July 12th 2023 Been going to Sarah's Plaice once a week since start of May . Service with a smile and food delicious. We always use the cafe part and Carol ( co owner ) is that used to seeing us that today she brought our drinks without us ordering first ....bless .Nothing's too much trouble and as you can see by the photo the steak pie looked and tasted great . 5 stars girls .

Tiny fish about 3 chips and still over a tenner. This was the large portion ? Won’t be back.

Used these for two years food has gradually gone down hill. Chips under cooked, scraps soggy went straight in the bin. Before you go in you may want to think about taking a loan out. Day light robbery.

Great food, freshly cooked and very tasty

I’ve used this fish shop half a dozen times and can say that the fish and chips are consistently good. The shop is clean and modern and the fish has always been cooked to order so it is hot and the batter is crunchy. Staff are pleasant and professional and greet you with a smile. There is a restaurant attached but I have never used it. Great job time after time.

This is one of the best meals I have ever had!! Cooked to perfection!! Best value for money fish and chips you will find!! As well being served by super models who are friendly and helpful what more could you ask for!! 😋 Thank you.

The staff have attitude and don't rate the food much

Lovely food nice staff. Will go back again.

Great service. Friendly staff. Great food

Visited this fantastic establishment on 18/02/23 , what a fantastic find . Friendly staff , lovely clean cafe , and oh wow yes fish and chips cooked to perfection . You county Durham people , are lucky to have an establishment like this .

Visited Sarahs Plaice after the Shildon match on my way to catch the train back to Edinburgh. Quality of food which was cooked in front of my eyes was exceptional and the warm friendly welcome along with the first class service was second to none.

A very nice chippy! I would recommend it!

Lovey food - do a really nice splash bun

Fab chippy....not cheap but worth it...always fresh...great service!!

Great friendly service and quality food 👍

Nice and clean staff very friendly fish n chips lovely

What a gem , called here with my friend and had a pensioners special each Brilliant value for money ,lovely staff and clean pleasant environment Small fish and chips , mushy peas , bread and butter and a pot of tea £9.95 Get yourselves there people of Shildon and give this business a boost

Best fish shop for miles around xx

My parents are locals and took us here for some lunch we ate in and it was amazing, the batter was light and tasty and the chips were also equally as amazing! And the staff were very chatty Keep up the good work guys

Fantastic food ..great service...lovely staff..will go back again..

Sarah's place is loverly they are really good chips we've eaten in and. Taken out for anyone who hasn't been to Shildon to try them it's a must you won't be disappointed it is wheelchair accesable but parking not good as double yellow all around and a bus turn in right next door but worth inconvenience for chips

Best fish and chip shop in Sheldon

Nicely cooked fish, good chips too. Reasonable price

Just had hot and delicious (not greasy) fish and chips,as good as Colman's of Southshields 😊Thankyou🥳

Excellent value for oaps. Little cafe always immaculate.

Lovely clean fish and chip shop. Friendly staff Love the fish and chips everytime I get them. Perfect hangover lunch.

I try this place for the first time the fish and chips was amazing and the staff are very friendly I would highly recommend this place to anyone

Best fish and chips I've had in a while. Owners are spot on easy to talk to, a good laugh. We drove past this chippy on the way to a job and I knew it was a good one I just had a good feeling. Honestly, chip shops in my opinion seem to be going down hill but these guys have got a tight ship, clean shop, great food, great customer service. What else do you want.

Well we asked for Cod and Chips . Advertised as Cod . No way was the fish Cod. Different consistency/ taste and the fish was powdery. On a positive note the chips were average . Vinegar was like water .

Pensioners Cod and chips. Good portion, very good.

Well worth a visit. Beautiful fishn chips. Staff very attentive

The fish and chips were lovely and very friendly staff

Not from round here so this was my first visit. Was lush! Proper chippy :)

Excellent quality food and equal service

Nice food but £2.00 for a few chips is a very Big let down you need to give more chips and no it's not a one off it's all the time

Looking forward to a repeat good meal, I was disappointed with the greasy cod.

First time I've eaten from Sarah's . Very enjoyable. 😁

Requested a copy of my history certificate, received it within 3 working days

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal , good portion size , forgot to put my tartar sauce in though

Our first visit last week was closely followed by a lunchtime delivery a couple of days later. Very nice people and excellent food and value!

First time very nice fish and chips friendly staff really enjoyed them definitely be going again

Lovely friendly staff always smiling. All the food everytime A+++++

Fish and chips were lovely. The prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly. There's always plenty of scraps

After a long drive up from Suffolk I drove past Sarah's Plaice. I couldn't stop myself but to go in...fish and chips were the best I've ever tasted!!

Love this chippy. Not our local one but the consistently fab food and great services makes it worth the extra drive. Yum!!

Very good chipy, nice friendly service good fresh cooked fish.

Perfect Fish & Chips = Plaice . Highly recommended ..

First time I've bought fish and chips from here but they were very nice, certainly recommend.

Lovely fresh fish and chips. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Lovely fish and chips and a good portion

Since finding this excellent chippy we've never been disappointed on the quality or the price & the girls are always welcoming. The only slight disappointment is that Haddock (although advertised) never seems to be available which me & my Mam love (although we do like Cod as well!). It's such good quality we don't go anywhere else.

Fish as good as anywhere in Whitby.

We tried Sarah's Plaice after coming highly recommended. They are best fish and chips we have had in years. Suberb taste and quality. The staff are absolutely lovely. Cannot believe this quality on our doorstep.

Wow the best fish and chips I have had in along time. Thanks xx

Always use Sarah's Plaice. Definitely 10 out of 10. Never went when it was Clems.

The best fish and chip shop in the area by far. Lovely fish and not over battered.

Very good, even got a bag of scraps

Fresh food and curry sauce was really nice

So clean inside. Food is amazing. Beautiful crispy fish. Spot on! Travel from Bishop Auckland special as its the best about

lovely fish and chips, as good as you get at whitby

5 star quality food staff are awesome. I would definetly go back again and again. Everytime i go in the house the cats follow me round everywhere cos they can smell the lovely fish 100%. Love all the friendly ladies and brilliant atmosphere

Friendly service and very nice food

Just got there as they were closing but they restarted the fryer and made my fish and chips, great service and very friendly staff. Plus delicious food. Thanks.

Well organized and excellent fish & chips 👍

First time I've had fish and chips from here since it changed owners. Very impressed. Good sized portions, well cooked and at a decent price. Will be back.

Amazing food with the best service. I love these ladies

Best cod and chips ever, crisp light batter and excellent chips, no fat or grease in sight, would highly recommend a visit 😍😍

Excellent service and delicious food

Excellent fish and chips,all cooked to order so no getting a dried out fish as was the case with previous owners

Fish is always cooked to order when I go in, tastes great. Good craic in there as well 😁

Called yesterday .hadn't realised shop had not long been closed for the day .the owner put her fryers back on and cooked me fish and chips which were absolutely beautiful . How nice of the owner to put herself out and make the food for me . Would definitely recommend people to go there .

Visited Sarah's Plaice on Friday evening with my husband and young grandchildren. Fish and chips excellent, staff couldn't have been more friendly and the children were made welcome. Will definitely be re-visiting.

Great fish and chip try them your self

Had beautiful fish & chips in the lovely trad café in Shildon town centre. Very good value, great service. Will be back next time I'm down that way.

Had fish bites and chips. Fish bites very small and batter was hard not light and fluffy. Chips were nice even though they looked like they had been fried hours earlier. Chips okay but avoid fish bites.

Nice refurb, bit of a wait for food as everything is cooked to order. Lovely grub

Very nice food,polite and helpful staff

I sat in the restaurant at Sarah’s Plaice last week with my children. Beautiful fish and chips. We all cleared our plates. The shop is immaculate and the staff are polite and very friendly. Would recommend 100%

Since take over - without doubt the best fish & chip shop I’ve been to bar none.

Fish and chips were delicious. Service excellent friendly staff

Ate here for the last 2 Fridays and the fish is insane! Every mouth full was mouth watering. Chips and peas were great and the pot of tea washed it all down perfectly. I can't imagine how this could get any better! I loved Clems, gone for years, but this is something else.
