The Front in Northumberland

I knew there was something wrong with my fish as soon as I opened the box. The shape and thickness of it to start with. Bearing in mind I ordered the LARGE fish lt was smaller than the regular sized where I come from further down the coast. As soon as I cut into the chewy batter and had a taste, I said to my wife 'this ain't cod and it doesn't taste like haddock'. Then I cottoned on later. I think it was tilapia, a substitute for cod that is supposed to be more sustainable and it's cheaper to obtain. That is why I will never be using this 'fish' shop ever again.

We visited the Front traditional fish & chop shop on spec! Our order was taken & the fish fried to order! We went onto Newbiggin promenade to enjoy our meal, and we were certainly not disappointed the fish was coated in a light crispy batter sitting on a bed of gorgeous chips dusted with salt &vinagar mmmmm. we would highly recommend this establishment

On a day trip, we called in to this fish and chip shop. I am so glad we found it. This is a little gem. We placed our order which was delivered pretty quickly. Freshly made. We both had cod and chips and I have to say it was fantastic. The best fish and chips we'd had for ages. If you go to Newbiggin I an certainly recommend this place.

If you are ever in Newbiggin by the sea you have to go to the front chip shop amazing food we had the Haddock and COD fish it was amazing quality food, we had it delivered and they came on time and delivered by a really nice man, thank you for such lovely food.

The best chip shop we have ever been in, the fish is to die for, all cooked to order, makes our chip shops look shocking, you are so lucky to have this business on your doorstep..........

Delicious fish and chips. Beautiful white flakes of tender cod cooked to perfection in crisp tasty batter. True chip shop chips and plenty of them. The owner is always friendly and the staff are polite and efficient . The best fish and chips in Northumberland award very well deserved .

Recent holiday visit and popped in and offered to sample for free the battered chips which were lovely. Cod and Haddock were nice, huge portions, though I have had better batter, not sure what oil the food is fried in, but it does have a distinct taste. The fish fritter was okay, though not what I expected to be. It is fish is served between two slices of potato, all is battered and then fried like a large fritters. The fish in the fritter tasted nice, though, unfortunately, the potatoe fritters were slightly undercooked and hard. Mushy peas were good. The best part of was the staff member who was friendly, generous, and chatty!

Best cod ever, large portion of fish and batter was lovely. All freshly cooked and highly recommend. Prices very good.

We only called in for fish and chips, but we were treated like old friends. The chips were great and the batter on the cod was perfect, this place is well recommended

The staff are the best aspect of this takeaway. Friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the fish and chips did not measure up. The chips were barely warm. The fish batter was awful - bendy and flat. Not great fish and chips at all. We made a special trip to try them, considering they had recently been promoted via the local newspaper, but were disappointed.
