Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the fish and chips, describing a huge piece of fish in crispy batter with perfect chips, plus large haddock with mushy peas. Close behind is the gluten free menu, which several praise, with one noting the chippy is busy with gluten free customers. Also mentioned are the sausage, curry sauce, real Mr Whippy ice cream and a small outside seating area. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly, helpful and hardworking, with one reviewer describing fresh orders still being cooked well after the half six closing time and another saying a large Friday order was ready at 7pm as promised. The complaints are specific. One weekly customer reports undercooked batter, smaller and greasy fish and weaker chips over the last couple of weeks, while another describes scrappy chips, two bones in the fish and an overcooked, greasy sausage, with a staff member answering the bone complaint with "well it happens". One reviewer also called a Friday afternoon visit disappointing.

    “We placed a large order with Cockerton Fisheries for a Friday evening. Arranged everything with Sam who was super helpful and our order was ready at 7pm as promised. All the food including gluten free was superb, beautiful fish with crispy batter but moist fish! An excellent choice of meal for hungry metal detectorists camping in a remote field. Thanks Sam and the team at Cockerton fisheries 10/10.”

    “Absolutely amazing fish and chips (sausage is good too). Staff are wonderful and it has a lovely little seating area outside. Get an ice-cream after as well, real Mr Whippy wow, just wow. Best chippy in Darlington. Their curry sauce is lovely as well as their mushy peas. Cannot fault anything I have had from here”

    “I was really looking forward to trying this shop after hearing so many good reviews. This was dissapointing though Friday afternoon warm ups on what is typically fish and chip day. I was going to return for fish and chips another day but sadly think ill give it a miss.”
