SGF in North Tyneside

First time here. Had large haddock and chips for £9 which, unarguably, is a great price. Haddock was perfectly cooked, flaky and succulent and chips crisp and fluffy. One of my better fish and chips experiences. Staff friendly and welcoming, couldn't do enough to help me! I can't wait to go back.

Served by an extremely rude lady yesterday. We ordered several meals and asked for either curry or gravy with each. I asked that my pot was a large one. My wife then asked if the other pots woukd also be large because she would like that. The lady said that we weren't getting pots. We were getting "a splash". Nobody she said had asked for a pot. I pointed out I'd asked my pot to be large. Then turned in to a major deal for her, with lots of huffing and puffing, complaining she would need to start again. As we sat to wait for the food, the man cooking spoke to her quietly. She then said loud enough for us to hear "I'm not apologising". Lovely lady.

Expensive. Ordered large cod and large chips. Chips were just enough for a kiddies portion. These cost me £3.40 for large chips, I did question it but they wernt bothered and just asked me if I wanted a fork.

Excellent quality food, pleasant staff and great prices, well done

I have never had a bad fish and chips from this chippy. I probably drive past 3 other chip shops to go here.

Best in the area! Travel from Longbenton to go here.

The food is always spot on. I like the crispy batter on a fish. Quick service, nice staff.

wouldn't say award winning but it's nice

Every chip was burnt. Disgusting, it’s gone right down hill…won’t be going back

The cod is usually very good but the chips are always so bad either they are cold or so hard they are awful, I think when they go cold they put them back in the fryer time and again throughout the day, I'm done with wasting my money for most of it to go in the bin

Something has happened to this place, the food was once great but last night sadly it was not. I got 2 very small and soggy fish bites costing £1.40 each, a portion of small chips which were dry, tasteless and had a powdery consistency plus they were stupidly large in size. The only redeeming part of the meal was the small pot of curry sauce which was just average at best. £7.20 for that lot and 10p for a paper bag, why was this place so busy when I visited? The staff were friendly enough and the ordering system was efficient but this can not excuse the poor quality food on offer at this place.....going have to give K& L fisheries a try next time I fancy a chippy tea, oh dear!!!

definitely recommend nicky as a fryer and a server she is wonderful!

Staff are friendly food is always good,best fish in the area Update still excellent

The nicest fish and chips I have had in a long time would highly recommend it

No Cheesy chips, what's going on there?

Sad to say how dissatisfied I was yesterday with my purchase . Fish ok but mostly batter the curry sauce had lumps of thickener in it I had to put it in a pan add water and whisk to get it eatable but then when I did it was very salty . Chips were the only nice thing fat and on the dark side which I like but maybe they had been left in too long as the staff were dealing with another complaint when we were in . Sorry won’t be back for the money . And as a small business I notice you don’t reply to your reviews which is never good .

This fish and chip shop has gone massively downhill for some reason. I used to sing it's praises but now wouldn't waste my money going back unless I heard of a dramatic improvement. The fish was nice enough, cooked to order, however the chips had definitely been sat there for hours, or maybe even reheated from an earlier session. Some were 'scorched', all were bone dry. If they keep serving rubbish like that up I can't see the business last much longer which is sad.

Staff are useless wouldent go bk ther if u paid is your ment to get the stuff you ask for and not completley diffrent stuff thats sat ther wraped up for god noes how long first and last time ill be ther the chips are rank so is the batterd sausage batterd beef burger was minging the curry got binned give me a completley diffrent cury to what i asked for the one i dont like

Huge portions accompanied by friendly staff made it a superb dinnertime experience.

Beautiful as always very clean and the staff are lovely

Got cod chips twice twenty three pounds was awful felt like it was reheated and was only 1. Clock

Normally very good but went good Friday fishcake was hard as nails, cod bites were more like cod bits they were tiny, very disappointed as we had travelled from the west end of the city 😢

Sadly fish & chips not good today half an hour go Soggy fish and awful chips worst I have had from there in awhile. Maybe pressure on a Good Friday not good at all

Tiny portions at extortionate prices. Small cod the size of a playing card and cut as thin as one too. How is that even possible? Food has no taste. Long waiting times. Staff disinterested. Never going back,

Lovely and friendly 'chippy'. Decent prices and good quality. I like the novel fact that it also doubles up as a 'wet fish' shop, selling fish fillets and cod bites. I will definitely return !

Seems to blow hot or cold, this time the chips were a bit soggy and the curry sauce did not really have any flavour

Large haddock & chips is enormous & a great price. Really good food & excellent, friendly service.

Ordered half a portion cod and chips which was adquate for me. Very friendly staff, which has been my experienc before. The hygiene is of a high standard and the meal was lovely. The batter on the fish was light and crispy and the fish succulent and ready almost immediately.

First visit. There was a small wait because it was busy but consider that a good sign. Fish and chips lovely, not greasy

Probably one of the very best chip shops in the area. Cod cooked to order not standing around for ages. Would highly recommend. Friendly staff too

Food is decent quality, although the portion sizes are small. Service is quite grumpy and unwelcoming.

Always spot on food and friendly service

Classic fish n chip, obviously good for what it is

Lovely place friendly staff great food and portions 👍

Partner came on Friday evening and had cod and chips first time in a while Fish large and said was lovely and tasty batter crispy not soggy like other places Chips cooked well ,enough salt ,vinegar

Best chip's ever nice and fresh, also had pineapple ring.

Large haddock and chips £8. Cooked there and then. Mocked politely and in good humour for entering via the exit door. First class food and entertainment, what a combo.

OK at a push, bit greasy but edible

Brilliant chippy great staff...superb having this around the corner.

Great service lovely staff good food

Massively expensive and you don't even get that much! £5 for a tiny chip butty with curry!! crazy

Ordered 2 x battered sausages and chips and 3 x cod bites and chips. They were poor. The chips were overdone, brown and lukewarm. There was no batter on the chips, despite asking for it. Battered sausages are normally covered in batter so you can't see the sausage. Not these ones! And the clincher was the cod bites. They weren't cooked properly. The batter was pale, soft and undercooked. It should be crispy. I was told by my partner I should go back to complain but I couldn't be bothered. I'll not be back. This was really disappointing as we've had some decent meals from here in the past.

Good quality fish and chips, good value, was very busy, staff were great

Went on passing by, was not disappointed and would go again. Friendly service and didn't wait long for freshly ordered food.

Great product but management and service very slow Need a better system of serving

Really nice fish and chips , highly recommend 👌

Been nice to see this quaint chippy change over the years and still have amazing chips 😋 located atop a challenging hill, especially after you stumble out the local pub, you've got to really be up for a chippy and to make the climb or moderate your alcohol 😇😆

Highly recommended! Lovely staff and very tasty food. They do great special deals too. Wonderful fish and chips!

Great pie and chips. Family had fish, massive portions. Loved it. Parking on the road outside can be busy

Lovely and clean fish shop. The fish and chips were both very tasty. I wasn't keen on the mushy peas, they seem to be lacking something, tasted watery to me!

Best fish and chips ive ever had Highly recommend a visit

Lovely fish and chips , and staff very friendly.

Good chips, very edible. Portion sizes very small, served in a polystyrene carton. Extremely high prices, profit margin in this place must be massive, 5.50 for a small number of chips and a meatcake! Cos were made from 5p worth of potato. Cashier (genuine?) mistake nearly made that 10.50 but was corrected. Vinegar watered down? Oil had the chemical taste of oil that has been cleaned and reused, at the prices they charge it should be 200% fresh oil used in every portion! What were actually very tasty chips was let down by portion size and extreme price. Good product, bad business, charge a sensible price and get 5* every time instead. Reply to SGF reply: offensive that you'd say different chippy, you know the prices and know I'm correct. I'm not in the top 10% of worldwide restaurant and takeaway reviewers because of mistakes. If you don't water down your vinegar, then perhaps get a different supplier, it's way weaker than other chip shops. The chips have the small black speckles that come from cleaning agents, if not from cleaning agents, one has to wonder what on earth they are, perhaps you should look into this? Sorry I didn't analyse the carton, certainly seemed like polystyrene, maybe I should have taken a sample. Point is they're used to give a smaller portion size appear bigger. How long do yours take to biodegrade naturally, as quick as paper? Over a quid more expensive than my usual chippy means it's expensive, a smaller portion size means it's very expensive. Accept what is a positive review, 95% of chippies these days are inedible, yours were actually enjoyable and very edible (as said in original review). Placing you in the top 5% of chippies is a very good sign, but the prices need reviewed and improved.

Awesome chippy do a lush haggis 👌🏼 and beautiful fish 🐟

Just stopped for chips n batter, best ever, next time I won't forget the fish

Very rude staff and greasy horrible chips. Considering this shop boasts about an award on the bill board outside these are some of the worst chips I’ve had. Very greasy and just tasted of oil. The woman who served me was also one of the most miserable people I’ve came across. I can safely say I wouldn’t recommend nor shall I be returning. I’d rather drive to the fish quay in North Shields and go to waterfront, better food and much more pleasant staff.

Nice staff decent prices food wasn't the best over cooked fish bites cold oily chips but eatable

Excellent. Special - 2 small cod and a chips - perfect for our tea.

Loverly staff and food is nice and fresh, really tasty high-quality and highly recommended

Very good price when the Fish & Chips are on special otherwise wouldn't buy

Great fish and chips. Fresh fish and crispy batter, chunky chips. None of your skinny chips rubbish. Many thanks. Whitby Scampi also very good and plenty of it (9 pieces).

The fish and chips were good, we had them with the mushy peas and curry sauce and those were good too.

Brilliant shop Happy staff great food

Tasty, fresh chips. Highly recommend!

Really good fish & chips. Fish fried to order.

It used to be one of the best chippies in the NE12 area. Price of fish aside, it just feels standards have dipped.

Have visited this place for years, always been a good chippy but a recent visit was marred by a pugnacious and confrontational member of staff. I can't usually fault the food but as you'll see from the attached photo the standard is somewhat slipping. I'd pass the bad food off as a one off but the member of staff who's attitude in a customer facing role was unwarranted is a deal breaker. Sorry but my business will be going else where.

Outstanding in every way best fish n chips I've had mind

Great staff, great food recommended

The best fish and chips! Staff are always lovely.

The price is pretty dear but the food was good

Best chips at the min good choice on the menu fast service

Probably one of the best fish and chips! And lucky to live so close to it! Fish is cooked to order and the chips portions are good!

Really nice staff good fish n chips

Normally recommend this fish shop to everyone!! Not no more If you don’t like working in a face to face environment then don’t! Top tip when I customer asks twice for something on the order don’t lie to them to get them out the way!

A nice little takeaway, chips were well cooked with flavourful potatoes. Nice that they offer smaller portions too - the small chips, small fish and small pot of mushy peas are pictured, plus Tarte sauce. It's worth checking out the specials board too. I was a little sad not to see onion rings on the menu, but they had black pudding and haggis there. Pop is a little pricier than normal, so I got my own elsewhere. Will visit again if I'm in the area

Portion size was good, fish okay but Chips tasteless even with boat loads of salt and vinegar on.

Just ordered chips n jumbo sausage, was amazed with the food. Local chippy for me but never tried it before. Staff were so friendly and reasonable price. Would defo come again!! Thanks:)

Good quality food, but expensive and portions are tiny.

Always lovely to eat from here. Fantastic quality and very consistent each time. Staff are always happy to help. Favourite chippy ! With a huge battered sausage to try !

Disappointed this time, the chips had obviously been there quite a while. I've still rated it 4 as its usually better than that.

Always good food and good service. Our go-to chippy.

Friendly staff and really nice food. Top chippy.

Great quality food still the best local fish and chips

Fast and friendly service, lovely food.

Really nice food very fresh. However, it's expesive for fish and chips .

Reliably great fish and chips, friendly and efficient service, no longer live in the local area but still visit when I return.

Very good fist and chips. Very friendly staff.

Absolutely love this plaice. Different specials all the time. I go out of my way to get lunch here if I'm in the area. Tried hoki last time for the first time, slightly sweeter than cod and cooked to perfection. Love the ladies in there so kind and polite.

Excellent establishment ! First visit yesterday (Sunday 25/9.) but it won't be my last .Fish &chips delicious , service very friendly ,the shop was sparkling clean ! Well done SGF. I'll be back .

Bought Smokey and chips. Smokey is what you expect...the chips 'Outstanding' some of the best I've had...in my Top 3.

Always great fresh fish and chips.

Apart from chips everything is cooked to order so you'll have to wait a short while but, it's worth the wait.

The best chippy, we've been spoiled for years with them.

The chips were too oily. I guess it was fried the traditional way. I didn't enjoy it at all. The fish was nice though

Best chippy in the North East. Great staff. Great fresh fish, I travel 7miles for this chippy when I have one on my doorstep about 100 metres away. Best curry sauce period. Back again today (24/07/22). Ordered jumbo sausage and chips and Cod Bites and chip. Hangover now cured.

Chips were horrible was like eating mash on a Sundays dinner fish was OK but wouldn't go in a hurry again

I ordered 2 large fish 2 chips and 1 mushy peas. £21.10 When opened there was 1 chips missing instead of mushy peas there was curry sauce which I don’t like and 2 lots of fish. The fish was greasy the worst I’ve ever had. I returned 2 fish and curry sauce complaining. I don’t no the outcome as I’m having to wait till tomorrow for the manager phoning me ?. How can someone get a small order wrong god help them if it’s a larger order. Shocking

Brilliant service and delicious fish.

This is our favourite fish and chip shop always lovely food
