Clems Fish Takeaway - County Durham

I have gone to this restaurant since the early 1970s with friends and family and have always been highly satisfied. I went in today with my nephew at 11. 30 expecting fresh hot food. The chips were served on a tea plate instead of the usual dinner size plate and the curry was watery . The chips tasted as if they had been reheated from the previous evening but were still cold. I requested a fresh plate which the waitress brought, but with no apology and no offer to exchange my nephews. I bought fish chips and peas for my nephew and chips and curry for myself alo g with 2 bread buns and 2 bottles of coca cola. This cost me over £26. The price was not the issue but the quality of the food and portion size was. Sad to say but after 50 years I won't be going back.

Best fish shop in Spenny great service and the batter on the fish is just right. Staff very friendly and courteous. A little gem

I used to go regularly to the Chester Le Street branch of Clems whenever I was visiting the area, and was sad that it had to close. However, I can and will always make a beeline for the original Spennymoor restaurant now the same friendly service and just the best fish and chips in the world! Thank you!

My hubby and I were staying in a nearby hotel and decided to try Clem's Fish Restaurant for our tea. It was a great choice!!! Warm welcome, friendly staff, lovely food (big portions), immaculately clean restaurant and good covid measures of socially distant seating, staff wearing visors, lots of sanitising etc. Would certainly visit again if in the area.

For me without a doubt the best chippy around we come from Thornaby but think the 50 mile round trip is well worth it, the cod and chips are fantastic and the staff are as friendly as you will find anywhere.Well done Clems cant wait to come back !!
