Sunrise Fish Bar in County Durham

Without a doubt these were the worst fish and chips I have had in a long time. The actual fish was fine but it was coated in a thick layer of greasy stodgy batter. Nothing crisp about it at all. Similarly the chips were floppy, and greasy. In terms of size there were just too many small "chips" and not enough decent longer ones. I wish I had walked the extra 20 yards up the way to Clems chippie, it could not be worse than this was.

Great fish and chips cooked when you walk in the door Friendly staff Will use again best in the area

okay let’s start with staff, i went in today after recently moving to the area and i’ve got to say from 20 years of different chip shop experiences this is by far the best one yet. the staff were so kind and welcoming i honestly can’t flaw them. i placed my order and within 5 minutes i was walking out with my food practically drooling at how good it smelt. The food is without a doubt the best i’ve ever had, the portion sizes are amazing especially for such good prices. i have never felt the need to leave a review good or bad until now because im in shock this food is amazing.

Up there with the best chip shop chips I’ve had , lovely and soft , fluffy in the middle , just perfect 10/10 👍👍👍 , batter was also lovely , just wish I’d tried one of there patty’s what they had made up

I’ve never even thought to review a fish & chip shop before but when I saw poor reviews here felt I had to address! I’ve never, not once, had a bad meal from here. We only eat F&C a couple of times a year, so we are not connoisseurs but these are lovely. Crisp fresh fish and big fat chips.

I have visited numerous times and the quality is top notch and consistent, cooked to your liking freshly cooked also, staff are so welcoming and make a fuss of my daughter every time it’s a pleasure to visit

So for nearly £20 the fish tasted like cheap frozen fish, chip were cold and tasteless and the peas tasted off fair to say we were disappointed and will definitely not be returning.

Was given wrong order spoken to like rubbish asked to speak to manager well what can I say my dog has better customer service skills fish is thin like paper and taste of nothing

Sunrise Fish Bar is always clean and tidy the staff are very friendly, helpful and always smiling, you have to wait for your fish as everything is cooked fresh nothing is left under heat, all the food they sell is excellent me and the wife use it at least once a week can't fault it 5 stars.

Always cooked fresh. Clean and staff friendly with a good menu range. Don't deliver which is the only down side.

Hey it’s a kebab, but a good one, loads of salad loads of meat , pizzas are good , if you like good junk food , probably the best in Spennymoor

Warm and friendly staff made this a place i will definitely return to. Good customer service always makes me want to leave a positive report. As well as the service though, the food was cooked fresh and was really delicious. The lady who served us was very helpful and extremely welcoming. Will definitely be back.

Popped in on way home. Staff very friendly and chatty. Fish freshly cooked as were chips. Batter crisp, fish and chip portion large. Thoroughly enjoyed

Every week we try somewhere different for Fish and Chips. We are so pleased that Sunrise was recommended to us. The staff were lovely and the fish and chips absolutely gorgeous. Lovely crisp batter and smashing chips.. It was nice to find that they weren't swimming in oil when we sat on a bench in the sun to eat them.

We eat from here at least once per fortnight. The fish has a tendency to be slightly undercooked [according to the supervisor] I find the fish and chips to be entirely satisfactory. if you like fish 'crispy' simply ask for well done Clean premises, food cooked to order, must admit the excellence is dependent upon who cooks that night. some how the food here is less greasy than the neighbouring establishment

Always get my fish and chips from here they are always tasty. Very clean take away premises and always friendly staff

Had small fish and chips, lovely white cod, crispy batter, big enough portion size for me, lovely fresh and hot

Nunca examinó chips pero tuve que porque era terrible, hemos estado aquí varias veces y esta vez me pedí fishcake y patatas fritas. Fueron especialmente el fishcake asqueroso, que olía a cenizas colillas y sabor de colillas. Absolutamente horrible y nunca volveremos de nuevo, me quitó fishcake por un largo tiempo. Las fichas no eran la mejor y mejor. Bajando la colina me temo.

Good value and always fresh, cooked on order. Friendly owners and staff. Wide selection on menu, often with specials.

I've been buying fish and chips from here for the last coup,e of years, spotlessly clean, great friendly cheerful staff, and the food is always freshly made and spot on.

Calidad de pescado y patatas cocinados a la orden. Ubicado en la calle alta spennymoor con aparcamiento justo fuera de la tienda.

My favourite chip shop. Love the crispy batter on the lovely fish. We have used this takeaway for a number of years tried the rest this one is best.

Always cooked fresh while you wait, done exactly like you want the fish(like mine well done).Staff, inparticular Andrew always pleasant and chatty, best fish n chips in town

There are two excellent take away fish and chip shops within 100 yards of each other and they are both superb. Competition is obviously good for them. This one may just have the edge due to the efficiency of the manageress who handles the service perfectly especially when busy such as a Friday tea time.

Fantastic food and portions from a long established business serving delicious food every time. Always friendly and helpful with a keen sense of customer satisfaction to everyone.

We moved to the south 15 years ago and every time we visit the north that is our treat going to the sunrise the best fish and chips we think so . my family and I have never had anything as close to the sunrise fish and chips

Always fried fresh always clean and welcoming. Excellent value shame they dont deliver. In my opinion they are the fish and chips in Spennymoor

Got a bite to eat from here , chips were lovely but the fish pattie was a bit fish shy compared to other places I've been. Thumbs up to the chips though !

First of all I'd just like to say that I didn't actually go into the restaurant, just had the food that someone else had brought back for me, therefore I cannot comment on cleanliness etc.However, the food is plentiful and still hot when you get home depending on where you live, obviously.There is plenty of ketchup etc provided, even though you'll probably have it in your house.That is all I can say- overall it is 'average'.

Fish all cooked to order.. lovely batter.. Lunch time do small fish & chips for £2.99 plenty on great value..5*****.

Only place I'd go for fish and chips. They do the best curry sauce around. clean and tidy and the staff are very friendly

Good fish and chips shop, the food is always fresh and tasty , the staff are always friendly . Overall it makes it a good fish shop .

Very modern takeaway, friendly staff, never disappointed from this local Fish Shop, try the Chips curry rice, basic I know, but when you need the Chinese taste at lunch, it hits the spot

Does a lovely Kebab & Kebab Wrap.The jumbo cod is to die for, the pizzas are god too especially the Geordy Kebab Delight
