About Stantons Fish & Chips

Stantons is a traditional fish and chip shop on Neville Street, just off Crossgate on the western side of the city centre, close to the student streets around Neville's Cross. It is one of Durham's longest-serving chippies, having fried fish in the city for decades, and it is best known locally for a secret batter recipe that keeps regulars coming back. Alongside the fish and chips there is the expected range of homemade extras, from fishcakes to savouries.

It works primarily as a takeaway, handy for anyone living or studying in the Crossgate and Neville's Cross area, and it also offers online ordering for collection and delivery. The location is a short walk from the Market Place but far enough out to feel like a proper neighbourhood shop rather than a tourist stop. As with any takeaway, it is worth checking current opening hours before setting out, as these can vary through the week.
