The best !!! Beautiful fish and chips in gray paper something wonderful. Everything smells !!! fresh !!! The price is adequate to the quality and size of the portion. I have eaten at different places but here I understood why the English love it. Hats off !!! Gordon Ramsay go check it out !!!

Large Fish & Chips Freshly Made To Order Wasn't Disappointed Cooked To Perfection, Great Tasting & Good Customer Service.

When there and had 2 x Fish chips and peas. Portion size was excellent, but the quality not so. The chips seems as though they have been re heated and not cooked fresh. the fish was ok if you like more batter than fish. This is the 4th time I have been there and unfortunately I wont be going again, those chips are disgusting, hard and dont stay warm long, a sure sign or reheated chips and at a price of £17.00 I expect better quality

Fish was nice and good size, chips were very poor, dry and hard, was Friday evening so excepted better.

I remember when this place was great. Not anymore, chips tasted old and dry, burgers had no sauce at all, if you want sauce or mayonnaise on your burger you have to pay extra??!! Never in my life have I experienced this, sauce should be included. I would not eat here again, easily the worst chips I have had in a long time. Alston deserves better, chips shops in the dales put this to shame

Fish & chips were disgusting, fish batter was soggy, chips were dry & hard, could of used them for kindling, must of been reheated from dinner time, would of took them back if I didn’t live 5 mile away, won’t be back, like to support local businesses, but these were uneatable 😩

Recently bought a place in Alston and look forward to my visits. Great fish and chips with decent portions.

The best gluten free fish and chips we've ever had.Three of us (all gluten intolerant) had been walking on the Pennine Way all day and fancied something quick and easy for refuelling. We'd heard The High Plaice did gf fish and chips and so rang to check what days they were available (most friers only do gf on certain days). We were delighted to hear that The High Plaice does gf each and every day that they are open, they just need 30 minutes' notice to heat up the gf fryer.So, three portions of fish and a large chips, with gf curry sauce and oh my word, just amazing! The fish was the size of a small whale, the batter amazingly light and crispy (again, unusual for gf which is often soggy and thick) and the chips freshly fried, hot and salty. Curry sauce packed a punch and so delicious. All just so good to eat, and the staff didn't seem fazed by my muddy trousers, flushed complexion (I had just done 12 miles in the sun) or the feather which I'd stuck in my hair sometime earlier in the day and had forgotten about.Really great food and lovely service, would highly recommend.

Nicest chips we've had in a long time. We also enjoyed beautiful fish, haggis and jumbo sausage. Friendly service too.
