Fountains Fish and Chips

About Fountains Fish and Chips

Fountains Fish and Chips is a neighbourhood chip shop in the small parade on Exmouth Square at Carley Hill, on the north side of the River Wear. It is the kind of place that is busy with locals at teatime rather than a destination with a seafront view, and it has built its reputation mainly by word of mouth.

In March 2026 the Sunderland Echo described it as regularly the top-rated chippy in Sunderland, with an average of 4.9 from more than 400 Google reviews at the time. It holds a food hygiene rating of 5 from Sunderland City Council. The shop does not publish a website, so check its social media or call in for current opening times before making a special trip, particularly on Sundays and bank holidays.
