Delicious fish and chips (I recommend the plaice), lovely and friendly staff. We were lucky to get a window seat upstairs to enjoy the view while we ate

Nice setting for this restaurant, plenty of seats split over 2 floors giving good views of Durham Market Place. Think this place is a little bit overrated regarding the fish and chips. Had large fish and chips, which I wouldn't regard as a large portion. The chips were quite cold when the food came. Couldn't fault the staff as there were friendly and helpful

Over all, I am rating a 4, I do enjoy Bells however, the fish cake was more potato than fish, do have a picture and presentation was beautifully done, just when you have chips and you begin eating the fish cake, you'll notice how much more potato your eating.For a fish and chip shop, I expected a bit more fish and a little less potato, felt as I was eating a share bag of walkers crisps, yet overall, its a lovely place to eat, just not exactly the best eating inside Durhams place, due to cramped conditions and how the levels are split into 3.Ground floor - shop and seating area-1 floor - Toilets1st floor - extra seatingThey are better Bells out there in Durham, so overall, rating 4/5, staff are brilliant, just a let down with location and a tad bit disappointed in food proportion with the fish cake.

When you think fish and chips, whether you know it or not, you're thinking about Bells. The fish is fresh, delicious, and fried to perfection. The chips are hearty and flavourful. The tartare sauce—clearly made in-house—is the best you'll ever have. The restaurant itself is pleasant enough—serviceable, nothing fancy—but this isn't about atmosphere. It's about fish and chips, and they're the best.

Bells is easily my top 3 fish and chips place to go.The fish is crispy, freshly made, and you won’t taste much oily feel. The chips is normal.Curry sauce to me is a must add because it matches the fish and chips so well.Price for cod and chips is £10.8Curry sauce is £1.7Not particularly cheap, but cost of living, everything is expensive.I also tried their sausage, it is average, not particularly recommend.If you are in durham, this is a must try.

I tried Haddock and chips and it’s good. However the service put me off, locals are being treated much better than non locals, I will never return to this place because of that.

Didn't book so had a table upstairs. Excellent waiter. I had fish medley. It was OK but wished I had the plain fish and chips my husband did. Reasonably priced. X

This is absolute best place to eat. The girl that works at the front is so lovely! She booked us a table for 8pm and was so beyond hospitable. Even though they had run out of most of the fish that late I was still so impressed with the food I received. Great staff and atmosphere. They had a party of two older men (one truly horrid) who were loud, drunk and beyond rude and their staff handled them with class. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Great experience, fantastic food, very accommodating and friendly staff. Portion sizes are perfect for what they should be and for the price. Staff were very attentive and were happy to help with a smile. Will definitely visit again.

Very nice experience, staff very friendly. Food was well priced, hot, and served promptly. Went for a small Cod and Chips with Bread, more than enough for a lunch time. All in all spent about £55 for 4 people with drinks and two sides. Will definitely be returning.
