About Waterfront

Waterfront is a fish and chips takeaway at 22-28 Union Rd in North Shields, run by one family for 30 years. The shop opens daily, and its fish menu includes halibut alongside haddock, cod and plaice. On Fridays and Sundays, a seafood boil joins the regular menu. Mushy peas or garden peas come as sides, and the counter also stocks pickled eggs, pickled onions, cockles and mussels. Pizza and jacket potatoes round out the savoury options, and a Biscoff ice cream sundae covers dessert. Tables are available for eating in, and orders are taken in person, as booking is not an option. The closest parking is limited to 2 hours.

Customer Review Summary

Diners most often praise the fish itself, with cod, haddock and halibut described as fresh and delicious under crispy batter, and one reviewer recommending the plaice for extra flavour. Close behind are the mushy peas, called up there with the best by one diner, and the large portions. Also mentioned are scampi, pickled eggs, cockles, pizza and a Biscoff ice cream sundae. One couple found the seafood boil, ordered for two, was really a one person serving, and halibut was unavailable. Queues reach the door, and one reviewer notes booking is not an option and suggests arriving at opening. One lower review reports greasy fish, dry batter and poo inside a king prawn, followed by a small price reduction. Several describe friendly staff, including one who helped carry a large order across the road while the shop was busy.

    “Sorry this did used to be good but over the last couple of years got worse we leave going to see if it improves. Went today very greasy no taste and poo in the king prawn which was all slimed inside the batter when I bit into it. They knocked a couple of pound off but my partner fish dry batter sloppy and greasy chips were dry and not warm the food was just as bad a year ago the last time me and my partner went in we thought we would try again see if the food any better. Lovely staff and very clean but not sure why the queues because it’s not that good am afraid for the prices the charging aswell sorry just being honest !”
