We had the best reason ever to visit someone called Sarah was with us....we entered the takeaway side and was invited to go through to the restaurant area and someone would come through and take our order. Limited menu, but only to the food you would expect. We had someone with a w/c now this isn’t wholly accessible if you need w/c it is a little narrow but anyone who can transfer or limited mobility can negotiate the way through, w/c is well kept and smells lovely. But back to the food. When the lady returned, she thought we looked a little cramped and immediately without hesitation offered to move the entire restaurant seating and tables around to better accommodate our needs. the food was served on appropriate and clean plates and the food......We had fish bites which were fried lovely light and with that satisfying batter taste but not to doughy or crisp. Awesome....the kids went for Sausage and chips ...of course they did an reported it was lovely again would of been nice for a few more chips....(again of course we would all like more chops...lol) We asked for bread and butter and some beans. my only criticism was I don’t think if your sitting in it should be to much to be asked if you want peas or beans with any meal without extra cost but we were not charged for the cups of beans that came out so it wasn’t that bad....it was just when I started eating I realised beans and bean sauce over the chips was missing. We couldn’t knock the service it was welcoming practical and professional. After we ate, we went through to pay. on leaving we met the real Sarah of Sarahs place and little one was offered a takeaway cup to take her drink she was still drinking, kids.... A thoroughly delicious meal and at only 10 squid a head considering what we had and where delicious. Thanks everyone at Sarah's Plaice.- Service

Last week my husband and I went on the spur of the moment for a fish and chip lunch at Sarah’s Plaice in Shildon it was very quiet which was sad as I would highly recommend it as the staff were very helpful and friendly and they have a pensioners portion on the menu with bread and butter and a pot of tea to make the meal complete we shall certainly return I wish them luck .

I’ve used this fish shop half a dozen times and can say that the fish and chips are consistently good. The shop is clean and modern and the fish has always been cooked to order so it is hot and the batter is crunchy. Staff are pleasant and professional and greet you with a smile. There is a restaurant attached but I have never used it. Great job time after time.
Best fish and chips I've had in a while. Owners are spot on easy to talk to, a good laugh. We drove past this chippy on the way to a job and I knew it was a good one I just had a good feeling. Honestly, chip shops in my opinion seem to be going down hill but these guys have got a tight ship, clean shop, great food, great customer service. What else do you want.
Came here on Saturday after being recommended numerous times from a lad we know who puts reviews on And definitely wasn't disappointed absolutely fantastic fish and chips , staff absolutely superb as well Will definitely be back again 5***** Thanks everyone 👌👌
