A TikTok user has sparked debate after reviewing a fish and chip shop at Beamish Living Museum in County Durham, describing it as 'legendary' but facing criticism over the price. The video, posted under the username Fish and Chips Catering, shows the man ordering a small fish and chips for £9.10, which he rated 9/10 for taste but noted the portion could be larger.
The reviewer praised the shop's traditional style, saying it felt like 'going back in time to the 1900s'. He highlighted the golden, crisp batter and 'epic' chips with a solid crunch, calling the food 'unreal'. The chips were served in newspaper-style wrapping, which he described as a nice touch.
However, some viewers were unimpressed by the cost. One commented: '£9.10 for half a slice of fish. Get a grip.' Another said: 'That is small for the price.' A third added: 'Two fish bits and four chips. Madness.' The average price of fish and chips in the UK is between £11 and £12, though regional variations apply.
Despite the criticism, others expressed interest in visiting. One viewer wrote: 'That looks like a fantastic restaurant.' The museum has been contacted for comment. The shop uses traditional beef dripping for cooking, adding to its authentic appeal.
