Maguires - Gateshead

Outstanding fish and chips. East in the region for taste and price. Good size portions, friendly staff, great flavour. Definitely our go to for whenever we want fish and chips.

The staff at this restaurant consistently serve incorrect portion sizes, never getting it right. When I asked for a large portion of chips, I received a small one every time. The fish was also disappointing, being slimy and clearly not fresh. The battered sausages were undercooked and had a taste of old oil. Furthermore, the prices were exorbitant. The staff seemed more interested in their phones than in their customers, handling food right after touching their dirty devices. They appeared unwelcoming and lacked personal hygiene, with one man and two women being particularly rude and ill-mannered. The overall cleanliness of the shop was questionable, with employees sitting on sacks of potatoes and smoking near the door. It is best to avoid this place entirely.

Very very average fish and chips, lukewarm and greasy, polystyrene boxes, service indifferent, poor value and not worth checking out.

Went in for fish bites, no fish bites. Ordered chips with batter, no batter. Ordered a sausage which was paid for to find out there wasn’t one when we got home. Disappointed.

This is our local and has been inconsistent for decades now. It seemed to hit a sweet spot about a year ago a bit expensive but everything well cooked. Went last week good portion of chips but pale and the fish was thin and overcooked. Pretty much £18 wasted :
