Murtha's FishShop

Fish and chip takeaway on the corner of St Luke's Terrace and Pallion Road in Sunderland, trading under the same name since 1985. The family-run shop fries a traditional range of battered fish, chips, pies and saveloys to order across the counter, without a sit-in area. It has built a long-standing local following in the Pallion area over four decades of continuous trading, distinct from the newer seafront chippies clustered nearer Roker and Seaburn. The shop functions as a straightforward neighbourhood takeaway rather than a restaurant, serving lunchtime and evening trade from a single unit. It remains independently owned, with no other branches operating under the Murtha's name elsewhere in the city.
