Bells Reviews 

Bell's fish bar - Durham. We asked for a table for two. We were put on a table sharing with another couple but in the middle of the restaurant. Waitresses and customers brushing against us as they passed by. One empty window table was 'reserved' despite nobody sitting in it and no reserved sign. Before being served a couple vacated their table and asked them politely if we could take their place ( no pun intended ) which we did only to be told by the staff that this table too was reserved - no sign and no customer waiting. Our opinion of this restaurant had now taken a dive. Personally I would have left but my partner (being a more kindly sole (again no pun intended) was starving. So we proceeded to place and order - Haddock and chips please. Response - haddock is being served as two small steaks without batter!! - I mean - fish and chips without batter - for crying out loud.. Reluctantly we opted for cod and chips which were - - - hugely disappointing. Guessing that's our first and last visit !!

My wife and I visited Bells fish restaurant at Seaham Durham today (27th October 2025) the serving staff were obviously very busy but very pleasant. However, after placing our order we waited a long time (about 20 minutes) to be served, I have to say the meal was very good up to Bells excellent standard. After the meal we decided to order ice cream and another coffee, it took a long time to get the attention of staff to place that order, then we waited and waited and waited but but no ice cream or coffee so we finally decided just pay the bill and leave.

Absolut et besøg værd. Virkelig lækker mad og vinbar. Skønt udvalg af vine og fantastisk lækker mad. Super god personlig service, hvor man føler sig velkommen. Dejlig atmosfære, det hele hænger godt sammen og giver en hyggelig stemning.
Vi kommer helt sikkert igen!🥂
