Hide AdJessica McGarthy, a dental receptionist at a South Shields dentist, was waiting patiently for her cod and chips, and had almost made it to the entrance.
She said: “With just working round the corner I’ve heard a lot about the fish and chips here, but this is the first time we’ve ever had any.
“We’ve been waiting about 40 minutes now and we’re getting close to the front, hopefully it will be worth it.
”We’re both after some cod and chips.”

She said: “The queue seems to be going down quite quick, I’ve stood outside for 35 minutes, but I suppose I haven’t factored on how big it is inside the shop.
“I’m not the biggest fish fan, I want a battered sausage, so I hope they still do them on a Good Friday, I’ll be devastated if not.”
