Colmans at Fenwick is located on the first floor of Fenwick Newcastle, a department store on Northumberland Street in the city centre. It’s an offshoot of the well-known Colmans of South Shields, a family-run business with over a century of history in serving fish and chips.
The menu focuses on seafood, with a particular emphasis on sustainably sourced fish and shellfish. Options range from traditional fish and chips to more contemporary dishes, reflecting a mix of classic British and modern culinary styles. The fish is cooked to order, ensuring freshness, and the chips are hand-cut. Tuck into the likes of small bites such as crispy oysters with Colmans' tartare sauce, mushy pea fritters with ketchup, or battered Geordie bites with chip shop curry sauce.
The 'Catch of the Day' offers cod, haddock, or sole options, with scampi and fish goujons also available. The restaurant also offers a selection of sides and sauces to complement the main dishes, along with a variety of drinks to round out the meal. A dedicated children's menu is also available, making it a great spot for the whole family.
The dining space is integrated into the department store, making it a convenient option for shoppers looking to take a break and enjoy a seafood-focused meal. The setting is casual and functional, designed for those seeking a quick but high-quality bite while in the heart of Newcastle. The restaurant is well-suited for individuals, pairs, or small groups.
