The Village Chip - County Durham

My daughter went for 2 adults fish bites meals, 1 small chip butty and 2 sauces. She returned with a hand full of chips, a bun that was half buttered, and some fish bites without chips which were meant to be meals to feed a family of 4. The grease was dripping off the paper. I have tried to upload a photo so we shall see if they allow it. Not the first time my daughters called in and been totally ripped off. They try and wrap things together rather than in the meals so you arent actually getting the portions you pay for. We hadnt used this chippy for around 6 months for this reason and only used it as we came back from holiday yesterday and one of the children wasnt well and unable to be took grocery shopping.

Fantastic place. The food is definitely worth the money, freshly cooked and prepared. The staff were amazing, felt so welcomed into the establishment. Nothing was a problem or an issue especially with a specific full order. Will definitely be returning.

Stopped by on my way through with my girlfriend and my son, my girlfriend went in while my son and I waited outside in the car (and kept dry lol). My girlfriend said the lass serving had quite a poor attitude when speaking to her and got a simple order confused, we ordered two portions of chips with a tub of curry sauce, and a kids meal of chips and chicken nuggets which also came with a small juice carton and a tiny lolly. In all it came to just over £16 which was very pricey, the two portions of chips must have been around £5 a piece, this is shocking frankly, we were both given a tiny portion of chips, we had to drive off when she got the food as it was raining and needed to find a spot to eat them, otherwise and if I'd known right away I'd have gone in to confront the staff. The portion of chips given were the smallest I have ever seen in a fish shop, I'd say in size it was comparable to between a medium large fries serving from McDonald's? I know right... and for such a high price it is absolute robbery. Very poor will never go again, I seriously suggest avoiding and trying another nearby.

Very down rated fish and chip shop, expensive and very poor portions, staff need to interact with customers better and the owner needs to highlight properly what food he's selling, cheap Iceland onion rings instead of real onion in batter, even admitted he was being a bit lazy!!!

Excellent hand cut chips fried in dripping. Worth trying!
