About Whickham Fish Kitchen

Whickham Fish Kitchen is a fish and chips shop on Back Row in Newcastle Upon Tyne, frying its fish and chips in dripping. Orders come in a box rather than paper, and the staff will bring them out to your car. The menu offers haddock and cod, with tartare sauce and a slice of lemon alongside the fish. Cod bites sit next to the haddock suppers for smaller appetites, and a pensioners special gives a slightly smaller portion. The shop is open Monday to Saturday and closed on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary

Most reviewers come for the haddock or cod and chips, describing crispy batter and fish that is hot and fresh. One credits the dripping for avoiding a greasy, claggy taste, and the tartare sauce with a chunky slice of lemon draws praise. Three haddock suppers are called massive, and a pensioners special is described as slightly smaller and good value. Serving in a box rather than paper is said to keep the food from going soggy. Not every visit lands. One reviewer found the fish swimming in grease, thin and tasteless with bones, the batter floury and the chips pale and slightly undercooked, though their son liked the cod bites. Another reports fish broken in two, spongy batter and soggy chips stuck to the box. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, and the ladies will bring orders out to the car when they can.
