Istanbul Shawarma and Fried Chicken

The Cockton Hill Road unit trades under two names — Istanbul Shawarma and Fried Chicken on the directory record, and Bertos on the shop signage and online ordering platforms — referring to the same Turkish-leaning operator on the long stretch of Cockton Hill Road that runs south out of Bishop Auckland town centre. The kitchen runs the shawarma-and-fried-chicken format that the name promises, with pizza, kebabs, parmos and the standard burger range filling out a broad late-night menu. Reviewer feedback runs at around three and a half out of five on Restaurantji across roughly fifty reviews, with the shawarma — particularly the chicken shawarma wrap — picked out repeatedly as the dish to order; the chicken parmo also draws steady praise. The negative thread of feedback focuses on delivery condition and occasional missing-item disputes, which is the typical pattern for a small kitchen running a broad menu through the weekend rush. The shop trades from noon through to eleven every day, giving it the lunchtime trade as well as the evening service. Online ordering runs through the shop's own sites at bertosdl14.co.uk and bertosonline.co.uk alongside Uber Eats and Feed Me Online.
