I must say, the chips from this place are simply delicious! Every bite is filled with an explosion of flavor that's hard to resist. From the crispy texture to the perfectly add salt and vinegar, these chips are definitely a must-try... Overall, I highly recommend their chips to anyone who likes a GOOD BAG OF CHIPS.

The food is absolutely delicious. It may take a little longer to be served, but it is definitely worth the wait. However, I recently noticed a decline in the quality of the food and service at this restaurant. The prices have become unreasonable and the service is very poor.

Unfortunately, I was unable to try this restaurant as they only accept cash. It's surprising that some places still operate this way in this day and age.

Lovely food family run come and try for yourselves nothing like nice fish and chips beside the sea

Bayside Catch presents a mixed bag of experiences for diners. While some patrons rave about the delightful chips and the tastiness of burgers and pasties, many others express disappointment in both service and food quality. Long wait times, disorganized staff, and issues like oversold menu items and cash-only policies dampen the dining experience for several customers. Though cleanliness and friendly service are noted positives, inconsistency in food preparation, such as soggy items and questionable fish quality, casts a shadow. If you're up for an adventure, expect a bit of a gamble with each visit to this local takeaway.

I ordered a portion of Goujons and a tub of pepper sauce and was charged £8.60. The food tasted awful. I ended up throwing it in the bin. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Where to begin? We visited here on the way to newcastle after having a previous good experince a few years ago, however to my digust, it was almost vomit-inducing. To start, the memorable and good quality carboard packing from the last visit was replaced with some soggy, chuck e cheese-style, thin cardboard boxes made the already awful meal even worse, as the box fell apart in our hands. We tried to inquire what was in a chicken kebab, however the member of staff gave a vague description leaving out the fact that the kebab was smothered in what tasted like old, plastic cheese that made it soggy and bland. The rest of the chicken kebab was just as bad, as it turned out as one big soggy lump. The chicken gravy we were promised to have covering the kebab was pretty much absent and clearly replaced by that rank cheese. But i guess that wasnt too bad as, i dont know if you have ever tasted chicken, but the grey dishwater like 'chicken gravy ' had clearly never touched any chicken flavoured product. The chicken had a weird aftertaste, that had vinegary notes, even though vinegar, to my knowledge, was nowhere near it. It doesnt end there, as the chips were rock-solid, cold and bland, which just topped off this already rank meal. Never visiting here again, and warning my friends of the sick feeling i experienced after visiting here.

Waited 30 minutes for a gravy chip a cheesy chip. Finally got them and both were cold. The cheese wasn’t even melted. No supper sauce staff were rude. I came back in to speak about the cheesy chip being stone cold solid cheese on top I was nastily laughed at by a rude woman behind the counter when leaving again after it being replaced. The place was full of people and it’s only because it’s the only chippy near, not for good food. Rule of 3 inside the shop also isn’t enforced .. I will never return

This has got to be the worst run takeout I have ever come across in my life. A busy queue usually means good food and a popular place. Not in this case. Long queues meant people waiting forever for food and in some cases even for their order to be taken. Firstly, this place does not abide by the COVID 19 guidance. Posted on the front door is a notice “3 people at any one time.” Totally the opposite. At time of visit there were 6 people in the tiny takeout; double the amount. There was no room to stand and equally no room to move. Employees were not masked, neither 2m apart (distance understandable but no excuse for lack of masks . It took 20 minutes to half an hour for someone to take my order. The cashier was too busy interested in taking phone orders and dealing with pickups rather than serving people in front of her. Finally when I did order she didn’t have any change (cash only of course…why would they take card? She short changed me 60p and said she’ll have it when the next few customers pay for theirs…ended up not getting it in the end. They had no curry sauce, no gravy, and I even heard one of the employees say they were running out of chips! It was 6.15pm! Once we got the food, 20 minutes later, she had no forks and when I asked for the drink which came with the meal she looked at me as if I had two heads. Asked for a Coke Zero, got Diet Coke. Got back to the car the sausages were burnt (battered sausages and the food was dripping with grease. The only saving grace for this place is it’s the only fish and chips takeout close. Quite possible the worst run establishment I’ve ever come across.

This is the best pasty I have ever tasted. The chips were amazing as well. My partner ordered the chicken goujons, which were really big. We will definitely be returning to this restaurant.

This restaurant has fantastic hours, open from lunchtime until 9 PM. They offer an extensive menu that includes a wide variety of pizzas. The food is delicious, and the service is friendly.

We had chips, a foot-long sandwich, and goujons, which were nice to eat. I can't comment on the atmosphere or service since someone else handled that.

If you're near the seaside, be sure to try the fish and chips at this family-run restaurant. The friendly atmosphere and big flavors make it a must-visit. Experience it for yourself!
