Dhillons Golden Fry

Dhillons Golden Fry on Gibside in Chester-le-Street is the fish, grill and dessert takeaway run by the Dhillon's group — the shop trades alongside the related Dhillon's-branded units (Dhillon's Desserts / Dhillon's Fish Grill / JD Fish Grill) and the menu pairs traditional cod and chips with the wider Dhillon's grill-and-desserts side. The shop's own sites at dhillonsgoldenfry.com and dhillonsgoldenfry.co.uk run the online ordering.

Reviews are mixed — TripAdvisor positions the shop low in the Chester-le-Street Quick Bites ranking with around 80 customer ratings on Restaurantji — and the Food Hygiene Rating is currently 2 ("Improvement Necessary") from the June 2025 inspection, a caveat worth flagging alongside the positive cod-and-chips feedback from regulars.
