Sedgefield Fisheries

Locals in Stockton-on-Tees have long made Sedgefield Fisheries their first port of call for proper fish and chips. This well-regarded chippy keeps things refreshingly simple, focusing on the classics that have made this seaside staple a national treasure. The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, exactly what you want from a neighbourhood takeaway that knows its trade.

The fish here arrives cooked to order, with a light, crisp batter that shatters satisfyingly at the touch of a fork. The chips are properly fluffy on the inside and golden on the outside – the kind of chips that demand to be eaten straight from the paper. Beyond the fish and chips, they also turn out well-seasoned kebabs and wood-fired-style pizzas, making this a versatile option for when the household can't agree on one thing. Whether you're after a classic supper or something a little different, this place delivers with reliable consistency across the board.
