The Waterfront in North Tyneside

Lovely fish and chips, far from shy with portions at a great value, smashing customer service.

I’ve ordered a pizza, I’ve got a burned pizza. And tasted very sour too. Awful and waste of money, never again. Also to note that whenever o place an order which is the same all time, I always get charged different amounts, depending on staff. Not great!

great day food fantastic however you are overcharging for your drinks come on 3.90 for a small bottle of beer its a piss take to be frank we are regulars and its taking the mick you are making profits but this is exorbitant seriously your going to loose business with these antics

We visited with our relatives from America who remembered how good it was last time they came to England and wanted to try it again. We were not disappointed. Fish and chips fresh and hot. Pensioners special served with tea great value. Huge portions and served by very pleasant staff (unlike a certain chippy in Amble which we had visited previously.) We even had a very reasonable priced bottle of wine.

Beautiful food in a lovely area, great service will certainly visit again when we visit next year. Good prices and good portions too. Highly recommend

Best value in the North. Never had bad food here. Service is effective but not faffy or pretentious. Staff have time for you. Nothing to criticise. Keep it up.

There are a few fish and chips shops along this street, and I happened across a woman leaving a fresh fish shop for her recommendation. She said Waterfront, and thus I went. The place is very clean and within a minute I was given a menu. I went for haddock and chips, which came with a pot of good tea and mushy peas. The fish was crispy and beautifully fried in beef dripping and the chips were delightful. Service was fast and friendly. Value was excellent for eat in at under a tenner.

My wife and i always get the over 60 s special, cod or haddock,chips,mushy peas/curry,pot of tea for two.Huge portions,very fresh fish and chips.You always get friendly service with a smile. All for just under twenty quid for the two of us.

Absolutely delicious, second too none

This is my 3rd visit here. Myself and the two other people I was with all need to eat gluten free. The restaurant have separate friers for gluten free. We all had fish and chips. The batter on the fish was amazing! The fish was super fresh, really thick and tasty. Very competitive prices too..... The staff were really lovely and very efficient. We would highly recommend this place, especially if you're after a gluten free meal. We recommend the fish and chips... yummy Thanks for a superb meal. We're very happy customers 😊😊😊

The best fish n chips shop in North Shields Quayside. Great place for all ages and abilities.

Cheapest fish on the quay can be busy but they are very fast at what they do affordable and delicious

The best fish and chips in the north east and all the staff lovely.

We were getting hungry and came across the Waterfront - a classic fish and chip restaurant and judging by the queue out the door after we had arrived, it seems to be a popular place. We were there on a Thursday and pretty early - all the staff are super friendly. We were seated and served quickly. We had standard fish and chips and a pot of tea. The fish and chips was tasty and freshly cooked (hot!) and not greasy, so we enjoyed that and felt it was all reasonably priced too.

Best Fish and Chips ever and the mushy peas are just the yummiest.

We were 5th and 6th in the que in the door way . It took about 20 mins on a Tuesday lunch time for it to be our turn inside. Once in, we were greeted, shown to a table, had our order taken and food put infront of us in 10 minutes! Very impressive service delivery! We paid the over 60s meal deal price which came with mushy peas or curry sauce, batter if you requested it and tea or coffee. Fantastic deal and a good size portion and gorgeous food. Well done. We will go back again.

There were big queues to eat in the restaurant part. Thought it must be good. Went into takeaway and got chips and spam fritter. Spam Fritter was fine but chips were not. Greasy, soggy and not pleasant looking and worse than most chips I have had in North East. Most went in bin. Hope the people queueing up for ages had a better experience.

Sign of a good restaurant when you have to queue to get in. Well worth standing in a queue, though. Amazing fish and chip shop both for sitting in and for takeaway, best in the area. The staff are very friendly and you are not rushed. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Even do pensioners special, which is a good portion size.

Called here today, first time for a while. As usual haddock and chips plentiful and fresh, not surprised really it's on the North Shields fish Quay. Always freshly cooked to order with fast service, desserts also fresh and plentiful good choice on the menu to suit anyone. Very competitively priced at less than £38 for 2 people both having dessert and hot drinks. If you haven't been I recommend giving them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Great quality & value fish & chips, excellent customer service, highly recommended.

Chips nice, not greasy. Fishcake all potato / flat - no fish / tasted stall. Restaurant table dirty. Overall poor experience.

Great food quality in good portions

Went Bank holiday Monday, usually no complaints but that day smell from Toilets was over powering, a very unpleasant noxious odour. Staff did nothing when told and no explanation Chips were dry and hard , obviously cooked the previous day. Really sad as this was the go to place for the best fish & chips on the quay

Great quick service. Friendly staff and lovely fish and chips.

Great place with great food at an affordable price

Had the over senior citizens lunch fish and chips with either mushy peas, or curry sauce and pot of tea, excellent value, served by friendly staff

Been in here loads and always been excellent but this time the haddock was very poor not nice at all was actually pink instead of white yeah it was very busy but poor chips were also not great either

Great over 60s fish & chip special.

Fish and chips. Now ice cream as well.

The best place for Fish n chips, second to none..

My goto place for fish and chips, if you go try to pay cash it helps them

Friendly and chatty staff. Food is delicious and they are very inclusive. Food takes about 15 minutes to be made, so a short wait. Would highly recommend

Excellent food, service & price!!

Really enjoyed visiting here today for the first time. My husky loved his fish n chips and friendly staff.

Best fish restaurant ever and I can bring my little dog brilliant x

Been going here for years. One of the best fish and chips in the north east.

Went here with my family for a take away not my first time and has always been very good and will be back again , definitely recommend this place 🐟🍟. Forget to take pictures of food as we were all starving. Been back again 2/1/24 got a table this time same again lovely and will return again 👌🏻👍🏻 Been back again today 14/4/24 all plates cleared again 👌🏻👍🏻

Lovely food, friendly staff, good price.

We have visited before and returned today with my father in law, who is in a wheelchair. The staff were so helpful and the food was delicious once again. Due to mobility difficulties my father in law doesn’t get out very often, he really enjoyed today and The Waterfront was his highlight, Thankyou!

Fabulous fish 🐟 restaurant😋 ont fish Quay. great staff. busy but for all the right reasons 🍽🫖

Absolutely gorgeous 5* fish and chips as usual Appalling customer service from one lady in particular. Asked a simple question, and instead of answering 'yes or no' she raised her voice and went on a tirade, in a restaurant full of people. We Would have left but we had traveled very far, waited in a queue, and my kids were looking forward to their fish supper. All other staff members are helpful and nice.

Always eat here when at the coast it never let's u down.

Food was lovely. One member of staff let the rest down. SHE was very RUDE. Made my family very uncomfortable.

Lovely place to eat food is always great staff are very friendly good value for money

We travel all the way from Sunderland to this place, food is beautiful and fresh and plentiful, always busy but service is promp and staff are lovely

really nice crispy fish fillets with a nice crunchy batter. the chips however were lackluster quite soggy and could’ve been crispier. there is seating inside as well as benches across the road. quick service in a nice clean chippy

Lovely fish and chips freshly made. Give it a try!!!

Like others we hadn’t been for a while and had previously had really good food . This time both the haddock and chips were dry and tasteless . Such a shame . A waste of money and calories !

Pensioner special! Absolutely brilliant!

Best fish and chip’s I’ve ever tasted. Fabulous staff served with a smile. 10/10 Highly recommend 👍

To me the best fish and chips in the northeast, its a nice little cafe with a takeaway side and friendly helpfull staff. It has a good menu with great food!

Takeaway fish and chips, good value, nice generous portion of chips! £8.50 for a cod and chips. Staff are friendly, easy to order, they accept cash or card. There are some benches across the road. Or, what I like to do especially when it’s minus 2 is to eat in the car! With the view of the North Sea ❤️ Low Lights car park nearby is free and perfect for a walk alone the promenade after devouring your fish and chips.

What more can you say, fantastic fish and chips!

How can a chip shop get basics so wrong!! The chips were anaemic!! Very very undercooked and tasteless!! My husband ordered haddock and was given cod!! I ordered a spam fritter which tbf was the only thing that tasted ok! The “large” portion of curry was watery and tasteless!! To top it all off, the lady serving had false nails on and no gloves!!! Absolutely disgraceful place! Will never be going back!!

Food was actually beautiful. The fish was probably the best I've ever had, but there was a hair in my food, and it completely put me off. All staff should be wearing hair nets.

Quality food, cooked the traditional way & without extortionate prices.

Its been over a year since weve been here. Very disappointing. Fish and chips lukewarm, not piping hot. Batter not crispy. Sorry but we wont be back.

Ordered haddock and chips x 2. Delivery was very quick and quality of food excellent. Will not hesitate in either going to restaurant or take away.

Fish and chips at their best with friendly staff, what more do you want!

Consistently a top fish and chip shop. Quick, friendly, and quality. Enjoy!

Great Fish and Chips with mushy peas, with pot of decaf tea on the side. Walked here from Roker so glad to get inside in the warm and enjoy a great lunch before walking on to Whitley bay and then metro back £9 pensioners special great value.

Cheap and cheerful, sit in and take away. Fantastic fish and chips, but other menu selections available. Quick service by very friendly staff. They even serve wine!

Spot on fish, chips white and soggy.

Just fantastic every time, the most lovely and friendly staff, the best and freshest fish cooked to perfection. Undoubtedly one of the best and tastiest fish and chips in the area.

Been coming to the waterfront for as long as I can remember (late nineties) very warm and friendly atmosphere, reasonable pricing for this day and age and most of all delicious fish and chips. Will go no where else on the Fish Quay

We always visit here for our fish n chips totally fantastic. I am gluten and dairy free which they accommodate and dog friendly. Highly recommend a visit xx

Loved the food fish and chips cooked in dripping. You don't get this in manchester. Highly recommended

Had the gluten free fish and chips lovely and fresh the batter was perfect the staff were so heplful definitely will be back such a good gf menu

Got fish sandwich with chips and started with worst ever D&V at around 0100 that evening. Can only be down to this as had nothing else to eat all day. Will not be back.

Every time we visit Newcastle we make sure we visit The Waterfront . The fish is excellent . We just sat in silence enjoying the food. We will be back

Best fish and chips anywhere, I would recommend the large stripped haddock 😀😀

Best chippy in North Shields staff are always lovely, can be eaten in or out

Nice restaurant. Quick service. Food tasty.

Bit of wait to get seated thats a good sign, waitress seating us was a bit surly and abrupt but she was busy. Food arrive quickly and hot, cooked to perfection.

This is the only chippy I get from everything is always fresh and tasty it's literally my favourite chippy in the UK and I have lived all over the UK

Use to go to Colemans but have found this place to be so much better. Lovely fish and chips.

Very good service (food excellent)

Perfect just perfect. Lunchtime on a Tuesday busy, but had a table in less than three minutes. Haddock, chips, curry sauce and a pot of tea. Haddock so fresh it must have been right off the boat, golden light crunchy batter, chips were cooked to perfection too. Even the curry sauce arrived in its own silver gravy boat, and the portion was generous. All this was an over 60s special at £9.00 all in! Certainly coming back soon.

Excellent experience, great food at a good price with superb friendly service

After eating at this restaurant regularly l was applauded last week when l went into the ladies toilet after eating fish and chips which were lovely as always. The member of staff who had served my husband and l came out of the toilet when l was washing my hands and went straight back into the restaurant. When l came out of the toilet and we went to pay the bill she was handling clean cutlery to take to another customer. On leaving the restaurant l rang the manager regarding her lack of hygiene but he was totally disinterested. If this is the standard of hygiene in this restaurant we will not be going again regardless of the lovely food.

Good food well presented and pleasant staff nothing is a problem to them.

Absolutely fabulous as always. X

Fantastic quality food every single time we visit, can’t fault anything at all.

Tip top trad sitty down fish and chips!

Superb fish & chips and great service in a traditional fish & chip restaurant setting. Lemon Sole and Cod both cooked beautifully, with lovely, large flakes of fish.

Top notch chippy, up there with the best. Portions fabulous

Superb fish and chips, highly recommended

Simply the best fish 'n' chips. Found this diamond of a place after a quick Google search, and we're so pleased we did. We will be back.

The best fish & chips on the fish quay. We love going to waterfront. Plaice & chips is yummy, not greasy. Batter is crisp. They do a pensioner special aswell.

Excellent chips and plenty of them.very courteous staff.

Lovely fish and chips enjoyed on a bench looking out to sea

Fantastic spot! Haddock is unreal, chips are on point and nice array of drinks and condiments at very reasonable prices

First time visit, very impressed. Service, food and value for money. Considering the end of a long days service, the toilets were spotless. Overall a good experience.

Always an amazing place to eat. Fish is noticeably fresh always

I feel lucky finding this little gem in North Shields. Fresh fish really nice and natural chips. Good prices. You can eat in the restaurant inside or on an outside bench with a table. They sell coffee, other drinks and ice-cream. Plenty of parking space and nice walk by the fisheries.

The absolute best fish and chips 💖 the staff are amazing so helpful efficient full of happiness 😁 had a lovely bottle of white wine to chill out.. sticky toffee pudding to follow happy days.. All very reasonably priced.. Big thankyou to the best in the northeast.. 🎉💕🌹🌹

I am the lady who was asking a male member of staff for some napkins as my husband felt sick he was only sick a little into two napkins and there was no mess to clear up at all Sara one of the staff was brilliant she came straight away and took the plate with the dirty napkins on there hygiene standards are brilliant have been going to the waterfront for over 25 years every week and have found all staff brilliant

Haven't been for many years but have to say the nicest fish & chips we've had for a long time. Great server too Thank you.

Lovely food happy, friendly staff

Great menu fresh food, and also jacket potato's served if your spouse on a diet lol
