Beautiful fish and chips. Wrapped in paper. Staff are fantastic. Owners are so happy to see you and make you feel like part of the family. Best chippy around the dales by far. I live at stanhope and i pass two chip shops to go there BEAUTIFUL BEST FOOD EVER

Lovely small local chip shop, one of VERY few who wrap up my chips in newspapers. Very nice and its always a cook to order policy (for example if you want a fish they'll cook it from scratch). Also portions are very decent and the cost is far lower than your average chippy. (Another example: I recently bought 2 x chip buttys, carton of mushy peas and 2 cans of fizzy drinks and the total was under £6.)

Probably the best fish and chips I've ever had and as Billy Connolly said I'm no stranger to a fish supper. 1st class proper traditional fish and chips. The jumbo cod is amazing.

Amazing food. Cheese chunkie was amazing. Chips were also good. Very cheap. Most expensive meal was £7. Cheapest was £2.10. Very filling. Wrapped in newspaper which was a first for me. 9.5/10 would recommend and go again.

Tasty. The fish bites are chunkier than in many other chip shops, so fill you up and at 1.50 each, make a very reasonably priced meal.

Best chip shop in the world? ....Probably. Been in more chippies than I care to remember, can thing of a good few that run it close, but none that can beat it. Craven's takes you back in time 40 or 50 years to a different world, just like all comfort food should. An oasis of stability in this ever changing, mad COVID world. Please don't ever change.

Cravens fish shop is by far the best chippy in the north east... the fish is meaty and proper its not a fillet of a fillet and always fried to perfection. I travel over 15 miles to visit and will not eat fish from anywhere else. Cravens has spoilt me. FIVE STAR THUMBS UP THE BEST

We travel 13 miles to this chipshop for tea every week... Best place for traditional fish and chips.. Can't be beaten on price, quality and quantity.
