The Old Chippy in County Durham

Classic fish & chips with great service

I've recently moved into the area so the hunt was on for a new favourite chippy. My search started last night and ends with The Old Chippy, Perkinsville. Chunky, white cod with light, crispy batter, perfectly cooked chips; and the best mushy peas I've tasted in a long time. Due to this and the friendly, banter-filled atmosphere with occasional comedic sing-along from the staff members, I will definitely be back for more.

Loved the food. And the child's fish bites and chips were great value 👌

Fish and chips were delicious, curry sauce was nice and thick along with the mushy peas. Like being at the coast! Will definitely go again and would recommend to anyone

Excellent chippy, the best I've come across in years. We don't live in the area but we will go out if our way to use this place.

I can not comment on the food as I was unable to purchase any due to the fact they only accept cash and don't take card payments even though the government has been encouraging the public and business to stop using cash.I would of thought when you are handling food accepting cards would be better not to mention the amount of money people will be spending when your average fish & chips can be from £5 to £6 if not more we are in 2020 people need to keep up.As I said at the start I did not have any food so can't comment on it however I am sure it would of been very good the shop in clean and well presented.

Having waited for around 15 minutes for fish and chips to be cooked. I arrived at the till via a one way system set up for covid to be presented with a "cash only" sign. I thought cash was in its way out, especially due to it being a great covid spreader??This meant I had to walk up the road to a local shop (10 minute round journey) to then have to pay to get my own cash out of an ATM. This hiked up the cost of the fish and chips along with the sheer inconvenience and increased risk of spreading covid.I understand there is a cost issue with having chip and pin for small business. However, many micro businesses such as market stall holder have them at 1% per transaction. Rather than the customer paying 20% per transaction by having to use the cash point up the street.However, the food was decent, especially after a long walk in the outdoors but unfortunately this was overshadowed by the inconvenience.

Food is good, always cooked fresh and shop is very clean. the owner is very pleasant. Unfortunately one of the members of staff seems to have a bit of an attitude (maybe just with me)and sometimes only remembers what note you paid with when you ask for the correct change.

A proper fish and chip shops! The staff are lovely and friendly, the place is super clean and all of it leads to some great food! Tried a few things from there, cod, haddock, sausages, chips, sauces etc all have been delicious and more some! They have special offers and even do delivery!We will be back! (Photos to follow =D)

Just called in for fish n chips absolutely fabulous. Will definitely call in again as they were out of this world. Pleasant and polite staff. All floor area is adequately marked out for social distance. Keep up the good work. Brilliant.
