Family owned and operated for over 100 years
On behalf of our family, let us welcome you to the legendary Colmans of South Shields, the UK’s number one fish and chip restaurant. We have been serving our famous fish and chips and seafood for over five generations and have built our reputation by not compromising on quality or service. At Colmans we believe quality is not expensive, it’s priceless.
These are Fish and Chips with a difference! At Colmans we use only wild fish from sustainable fishing grounds, the food is fried in additive free vegetable oil, and leftover oil from the deep fat fryers is collected and made into bio fuel!


Proudly serving the nation's favourite dish
We believe that Fish and Chips are one of the Worlds greatest dishes, and at Colmans you will find the Nations favourite at its finest and we firmly believe that here in the North East of England we have access to some of the World’s greatest Fish and Seafood’s.
We take great pride in sourcing only the finest local and seasonal produce. Keeping with tradition that goes back four generations and to maintain the quality we have become famous for, we still personally choose our own Fish and Seafood’s from our local fish quays.

Testimonials
"Coming from a family with more than 100 years’ experience in the industry, owner Richard Ord’s commitment to sustainability and local sourcing makes Colmans stand out from the crowd."
Living North
"Colmans Fish and Chip Restaurant in South Shields is something of a local institution, but in recent years they have been elevated to the status of national treasure. The freshness of the ingredients, coupled with Colmans’ determination to protect the environment and champion local producers is directly at odds with the practices of the larger ‘fast food’ chains."
Esquire
“Colmans is the coastal town chippy you remember from childhood, and it’s brilliant. This is the number one fish & chip shop in Britain.”
The Journal
"Our dishes arrived sizzling hot and in gargantuan amounts. The crunchy, crisp batter peaked and folded around the softest white fish, which was as fresh as could be."
