Starbeck Fish And Chips in Newcastle upon Tyne

A bit of a walk out of the city center but totally worth it. Best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Steve was working the shop and was really friendly and welcoming. He took the time to explain how everything was prepared. A fantastic experience!

As a Scottish guy who loves his fish and chips and waited a year, asking around and getting thoughts from people. I was told about this place and it does not disappoint. Absolutely delicious. Great delivery service. And they have lemon Fanta. Worth it.

Best fish and chips in town. Excellent food and service 👌

Had cod and chips, plus smoked sausage to take me over min delivery price. Chips were real not processed, cod was moist and large covered in a crispy tasty batter, all arrived in a box wrapped in paper so it was still piping hot. Only thing missing was candy floss and sand castles. Good job and a big thumbs up.👍👍😎

I was working in the area and I happened across this fish & chip shop. I was greeted by a young girl who had a smile and was polite. The owner was further back doing all the frying, I think he was maybe Turkish? I ordered myself a chip batch, (we call it a batch, others would say barm, cob, bap, basically a bread roll). I also had a beef burger in batter and a curry sauce. I took the food back to my hotel room. I ate my beef burger in batter 1st and it was superb, well worth the few minutes it took to cook from fresh. I then had my chip batch. I can honestly say it was the best chip batch I have ever eaten. There was added scraps too which gave it that old fashioned chip shop taste from a bygone era. I have asked people how can I write a review about a simple chip batch but I would be doing this place a disservice not to. I will be visiting this place again without a doubt when I am next in the area. Absolutely superb.

Ordered a few times from Starbeck, usually collection but had a delivery tonight. Every time ive ordered from here 10/10. I was a little dubious ordering delivery but again absolutely 10/10. Amazing quality, huge portions where you get more than your moneys worth and our food even came earlier than the ETA. This fish and chip shop absolutely deserves 5 stars. Never ever disappoints!!

Amazing fish and chips and huge portion sizes across the board.

No faulting the quality of the food, but this just makes it all the more frustrating when I go there during their opening hours to find it's closed! This has happened on several occasions leaving me feeling very hangry.

Believe the hype. This is how fish and chips should be. Cooked to order and delicious. Cash only

Some of the worst chips I've ever had. 80% green and cold, fish wasn't great either.

Always loved this place, food was always spectacular but this last visit was very disappointing

Yummy yummy yummy great value great quality makes my day!

Always great food and service from Starbeck,lovely batter and haddock is beautiful.

Always really great and fresh!

fish not up to usual standard, it was dry and tasteless,prob.frozen.

Normally spot on but don’t no if we got the last of the fish and chips but it was a bit over cooked and portions not big enough for £11 each!

fish bites were absolutely lovely.. definitely order from here again

always a good fish and chips. never had a bad meal yet. it was good to see the owner there.

I ordered a prime cod. What I got was a prime minnow! Chips where cold as well. Tried calling the restaurant, got no answer.

lovely food. we ordered Monday so it came early. last Friday we ordered we had a slight delay. but still food was delicious and good value. 👍

Lovely fish and chips. Good portion sizes. We normally share one bag of chips between us.

won't be ordering from here again,15 mins is inexcusable.

Delivery was spot on but the food was not as I or my mates expected. 2 of us got a burger meal which was ment to come with peri peri chips and not one ounce of peri peri touched them chips and the chips were not the best, also the steak pie we ordered had over cooked steak inside and the mushy peas was cold. I have ordered from various chip shops as I like to try different ones and so far this is one of the worst I've had.

Made a mistake when placing my order. Rang them up and they got it sorted very easily. Food good standard as always.

Used to frequent this establishment in the early 2000's when I worked in the Shieldfield Center. Decided to revisit on our visit to Newcastle from the US. I was not disappointed. Excellent fish n chips.

Fave restaurant on here. 1st class on food and delivery

Chips cooked in beef dripping so no veggie options at all. My fish and meat eating chips Enjoyed the fish but thinks the chips aren’t great.

Great Fish & Chips. Smash Burger is an excellent meal that'll keep you full for hours.

Haddock and Chips with curry sauce lovely passing by so called in staff really pleasant and helpful clean and nicely decorated shop defiantly will use again 5 stars

Excellent quality and fast delivery. Don’t mind paying that’s little extra as I have never faulted them

Very nice fish and chips fresh food and quick service.

There was a time it was queues out of the door, then it was sold to some Asians and it went down hill, The current owner has turned it around quality wise, however the fish is so small and thin and I was really disappointed tonight. I do feel sorry for him as I know the prices have gone up on everything and he has to make a profit. I really would pay more for a decent size fish but as it stands I don’t think I would buy another one here even though it is in my street.

Absolutely delicious! The best curry sauce I think I’ve ever tasted, Fish was cooked lovely as well! Amazing thanks very much :)

Very good and quick service delivered by pleasant staff.

Food delivered as expected. Good timing and quality.

Delicious as always and great value for money too!

Super quick delivery and really tasty fish, chips and battered sausage. We got a free fish cake too, thank you. Wouldn’t ever go elsewhere, highly recommend.

Lovely food but a wee bit spoilt by impatient staff, probably ran off their feet coz it's a popular place but I didnt like my service experience. No hello, no eye contact even tho the shop was empty when i walked in, no welcome. Just a "YES" after they had finished their conversation. I dont want a red carpet but some acknowledgement when I walked in woulda been an improvement. Even. "Just a minute" woulda been nice. Food was very nice tho. Reasonable prices. Fresh food cooked spot on. It's just the service that's a bit off.

Food was a little late but that’s to be expected on a Friday rush hour in a storm. Despite being late it arrived hot and fresh. Tasty, not too greasy and good portion size. Thanks!

First time trying here and I really enjoyed it, the food arrived on time, it was hot and fresh. I will absolutely be ordering again. Thank you :)

Just how we remember them from Starbeck from years ago. We will be back. Thank you

the chips were stale and could tell they were old

Great food, great prices, great service

Lovely fish and chips and good portions. Would recommend 🙂

The usual high standard, and great delivery time. I doubt there is any better in the city.

Best fish and chips in Newcastle

Best fish & chips in northeast! Everything fresh and cooked to perfection. The tastiest fish and batter I’ve had. The staff are so friendly too

This chippy has gone right down hill

Excellent. My go-to Chippy every time.

I ordered two cod and chips at half 7, the driver didn’t come till over an hour later and when he did come have my fish and chips to someone else without asking for a name. When I rang them about it they said there’s nothing we can do and didn’t even apologise or offer a refund! When I asked for a refund they said no. I spent 24£ on fish and chips I didn’t get. Scummy and unhelpful!

Awful. Paid £4.50 for dry (certainly not fresh chips) and a tiny pot of curry sauce.

Lovely chips but the burger was overcooked and wasn't very tasty

Great fish and chips delivered piping hot.

Excellent and quick delivery, faultless.

Really delicious fish and chips!

More of a take away food. The fish and chips are great 😃

The taste of the fish and chips is still fantastic but they have switched to using smaller boxes and the size of the fish in the prime cod and chips for £10.00 was only a little bit over half the length of the box. The fish was still delicious but the price seem to have risen a lot this year and size reduced. I can understand why they have to do this, but for now because of the price hike, I can only come here very occasionally (unfortunately).

Used to love this place but it has gone right down hill. Chips were clearly reheated and they were burnt. The mince pies were dry and flat. Everything got wasted. Won't ever be ordering from here again. Such shame to be honest.

Usually fab found the chips bit greasy more than usual

It's a very busy/popular chippy but you never have to wait long to be served, we generally phone our order in & it's always ready on time

Chips were just warm & I think they'd had a bag of worms in the potatoes, they were disgusting. Batter soggy on fish. Worst I've had in ages. Now cooking some pasta because I'm hungery.

Perfectly cooked fish!! Not only were the fish and chips great but the owner (Mark) went above and beyond in service. We were visiting from the US, had our fish and chips, then left on foot for a pub he recommended. But, we forgot a package at the restaurant. My son ran back to get it, but Mark had already been in his car driving around the neighborhood looking for us to bring it to us! Thanks Mark!

Great customer service and a lovely warm welcome but unfortunately we got the last of the chips, which weren't very warm and were a bit tired! If we'd been just two minutes later we'd have had fresh chips. Qué Cera. Please can chip shops butter their bread rolls! Who wants a big dry bap for a chip butty 😝

Great fish and chips, over 30 mins after estimated delivery time but chalk that up to being good Friday. Good grub!

Long story short - we placed our order on Just Eat tonight and the status was approx 45 mins. I kept checking the status in case it was arriving and it switched to ‘enjoy your food’. I called the shop to ask what was happening and explain what the app was suggesting and was told ‘we’ve switched the machines off because our board is full, it’s good Friday so we aren’t taking just eat orders and the order will not be coming’. We were really hungry by this point so ordered from another chippy. About 10 mins later a delivery arrived from Starbeck, whilst the other order was on its way. About £45 down I called Starbeck to explain and an explanation from me turned into a big argument from the same guy who had told me my order wouldn’t be coming claiming he would never have said such a thing on good Friday and to go back to just eat, ‘simple’. The guy sounded stressed and I appreciate that but the best thing surely would’ve been to own up to his mistake and try to rectify the mess up so that I wasn’t left out of pocket because of his misinformation. The food was pretty good, we had two take aways to compare. Starbeck fish cake was really nice, their tartare wasn’t as good (look at a recipe guy on the phone). I’m leaving this review in case you order from here on a busy day and I don’t want others to be left skint. The worst customer service (apart from the person I initially spoke to) I’ve had in ages. Rude.

Went for fish and chips absolutely lovely staff very friendly great little chippy

First time visiting for lunch and won't be the last. The cod and fish we had was very fresh. The gentleman who worked on his own was efficient. Will visit again thank you 🙂

Waited near half hour just for our fish and chips and we were the only customers

Always excellent fish and chips

Good food, definitely some of the best in the area, just shame still using polystyrene containers

Fast delivery vans always outstanding food

Poor quality fish and chips- disappointing as food is normally nicer from there

Thought I'd try the starbeck chippy, it used to be spot on. I didn't need to worry as the chips were good, the curry tastey, and the fish cake an excellent quality all reasonably priced, and they do delivery.

Not bad chippy but not sure if I was overcharged. Had cod bits and chips £7 and can coke..was charged £9.70 !!!!!

Horrible. Anaemic barely cooked greasy fish. Burnt limp chips. Horrible. Will never order from here again.

Very good, very quick service. Excellent !

Excellent service from Starbeck

Delivered late. Food cold. Packaging soggy. Disappointed as used to be my favourite chippy

Food was very poor fishcake was disgusting the fish burger was dry and horrible would be getting anything from here again

Food was cold and my order was short by a bag of chips I used to love starbeck chippy but won’t be going back after todays food

Chips had obviously been lying there a while, had to reheat my order in the microwave and most of it got thrown out in the end due to how disappointing they were. The batter on the sausage was overcooked and tasteless. Won't be back

Food was delayed and late and turned up luke warm. Paid £7 for chunky fish bites ..got 4 soggy small fish fries and a slice of lemon. Really poor an has gone downhill ..won't be using again (On the naughty list)

Beautiful fish! I never usually eat the batter but it’s so thin and crisp from here! You are my new favourite chippy starbeck 🫶🏼

Beautiful well priced food, which arrived early.

Excellent Haddock. Batter is spot on. Delivered faster than expected.

We all enjoyed the fish and chips. A lot less cost wise than our local one and the quality was better. Even got a lemon wedge with the fish. Delivery time was fine on a lousy, wet night around rush hour. Will happily use them again.

Our 'go to' chip shop when in Newcastle. Always great quality food and on time for collection. Fully recommended.

Sausage & chips (just say warm) two bread buns , seven quid, not worth it wont be back, chucked half of chips in bin as just shrivelled up scrap ends.

Fish burgers in the Reel platter were absolutely delicious. As wall the rest of the platter. We enjoyed but couldn't finish all. Tasty curry and mushy peas. Will be back 👍

Great fish & chips, super quick collection from a Just East order.

Really lovely tonight. Best fish and chips!

Fantastic service, delicious food

The best fish and chip shop in Newcastle, delivery driver very friendly too.

Lush chippy. Been gannin since I was a bairn. Mint.

Good quality food Good price Friendly delivery driver

Cold and tasteless. Fish overcooked. Very disappointing after such a long wait.

Order was later by half hour the food was cold never again for me like

Definitely the best fish and chips you'll get in Newcastle. Staff are really friendly too! No card machine so please order online via their website or bring cash (free cashpoint round the corner at the nearby Post Office/corner shop)

Called up after estimated time and told it was ready, then waited another half an hour from then. Over and hour and a half in total since ordering. Turned up cold and soggy. Also sent a small fish instead of the jumbo which was ordered. Such a shame as its usually really good here.

Lovely food and speedy delivery! Thanks!
