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- Parking

Thankyou for taking the time to leave such great feedback. It was lovely to meet you all and look forward to serving you again soon.
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! 🙂

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.More reviews+12
Fantastic, award winning fish and chips. Restaurant upstairs, quite cozy. Superb, attentive staff, but not in your face. Highly recommended.

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.- Parking

Thank you for sharing such great feedback. Much appreciated.
I've been waiting a long time to again enjoy the lovely fish and chips from the Market Plaice. As always the fish was cooked to perfection and coated in a gorgeous golden batter. I now live in France and it is nearly 4 years since I was back here but well worth the wait. This has to be one of the best fish and chip restaurants in the North East if not the country.

Thank you Andy for leaving such a lovely review. Hope it’s not another four years until you can come back again 😀
Awesome quality fish and chips, stopped here whilst visiting relatives. The quality of the fish was outstanding and cooked to order as we had the haddock. Excellent value for money, superb friendly service. Can’t fault it. I’m an ex fish and chip shop owner so I know a thing or two about fish and chips.

We have eaten fish and chips from cornwall, Whitby, wales to Scotland, even rick stein in cornwall but I have to say this is by far, the best chip shop restaurant in the country, send rick stein to crook to learn how to cook fish snd chips !! Wow, we have had take away here which is always excellent, but, today we ate in the restaurant and it was absolutely outstanding, the service was warm, friendly yet very professional, the restaurant was cosy and very clean, but, and this is the jewel, the food was outstanding. I had cod, my wife haddock and my son scampi, we ate every bit even though we were full from the generous portions it was so delicious we could not waste a bite, super service throughout and fishy Fridays will now be here, also great to have a sit down fish and chips with a glass of delicious house wine too, and very reasonably priced too (paid for by our son who’s in the navy and wanted scampi before going back out to sea). Thank you for a wonderful meal and we highly recommend and will definitely continue to be regular customers.- Service
