Stephenson’s Market Plaice

OUTSTANDING! We visited today and were blown away in every aspect that Stephensons offer. After travelling some 23 mile to Crook to grab some of the delightful Robinson’s best pork sausage we decided to grab some fish n chips and took a punt on Stephensons. Living on the coast we are spoilt for choice with award winning offerings and make it a regular weekly meal. From entry reception and greetings to the attentive service, immaculate clean and fresh decor and super tasty food our visit could not have been more perfect. We actually thought this place was opened within weeks due to the lovely decor and such clean surroundings both in the takeaway, dining area and bathrooms. We were surprised to learn that it has actually been refurbed 6 year ago. Clearly the owners have impeccable standards maintained throughout. A wonderful experience in this family owned and run establishment. We now have another reason other than Robinsons to visit Crook. How wonderful that good family owned businesses are helping create business for each other in Crook. Very much looking forward to our return. Thank you

Had the pleasure of trying Stephenson's Market Plaice yesterday. We enjoyed it so much that we wanted to leave a review as soon as possible. You have the option of taking away, or eating in. We ate in - within the restaurant located upstairs, which is nicely decorated and very clean. The young man who served us was friendly and polite. Our drinks and food came quickly and looked amazing. Two of my party went for traditional Cod & Chips, with myself going for the 'whopper' size. There is definitely a huge difference, so if you do want to get the large size, make sure you have room! Overall, we could not rate this restaurant highly enough. We will certainly return the next time we are in the area.

The best fish and chip shop in County Durham, bar none. Absolutely perfect food, very helpful staff and reasonably priced as well. I think the opening times are very spot on as well, it's about quality over quantity. Many thanks to everyone there for many a happy lunchtime! 🙂

I visited Crook on Friday 23rd December on business and wanted somewhere to have lunch. Walking past Stephenson's on the market square I initially thought it was just a fish and chip shop, however, on entering I found that it also had a restaurant up a short flight of stairs. The upper space was modern and super clean. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The menu was very good a little something for everyone. I ordered fish and chips and I have to say, hand on heart, they were the best fish and chips I have eaten. I would defo recommend this restaurant.

The best fish and chip shop. Best fish and chips. Generous servings. Friendly staff and reasonably priced as well. Clean. Nicely decorated. Excellent service. Great value. The staff was friendly. Definitely worth a visit. I would recommend.

Fantastic, award winning fish and chips. Restaurant upstairs, quite cozy. Superb, attentive staff, but not in your face. Highly recommended.

Top notch restaurant, spotlessly clean and excellent fish and chips
