Customer Review Summary
Fish and chips draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly describing fresh fish under a light, crispy batter, generous portions, and several noting it's cooked in beef dripping. Close behind, specific dishes earn individual mentions: the halloumi, grilled salmon, steak pie and lemon cheesecake at one visit, Cod & chips with salt & pepper calamari at another, and a prawn cocktail singled out as a winner. The homemade curry sauce and mushy peas come up repeatedly as favorites alongside the mains. Service is described as friendly and quick, with food often arriving within minutes, though one reviewer found a host in need of "a lesson in smiling" while praising the server who brought their food. Desserts are called decent but not matching the mains. A couple of reviewers flag cost, one noting a regular soft drink at £4.15 and another calling a family meal "a bit pricey" at just over £70, though both still deemed it worthwhile. One reviewer advises booking ahead given how busy it gets.

“Went for Sunday teatime with visiting friends. Lovely place, absolutely spotless everywhere. Staff very friendly, took our order and food arrived within a few minutes. They are licensed and have 3 different draught beers. Fish and chips were amazing, very light and crispy batter and large portions. Other non fish items are also available. Sides included mushy or garden peas, curry sauce, bread and butter. A truly enjoyable experience.”

“I support an elderly lady and we started coming over a year ago, every Thursday. I have got to say every single visit has been nothing short of perfection. My client so looks forward to her Thursday visit, as do I. Firstly the food...wow, every single week without fail the food has been outstanding. Piping hot, fresh, lovely delicate batter, such a generous potion. Absolutely stunning. The service...I can't praise the staff enough. Every single one of them. Same smiley faces every week. Whitbys definitely know how to keep their staff! Everyone is so friendly, they cannot do enough for you the rapport they have with the more older client is so heartwarming. I can't list names as they are all equally as fabulous. The service runs like clockwork, I don't know how they do it, but everything is just so organised. It's lovely to see people laughing and smiling and staff that are actually genuinely enjoying their job! Prices are great for the level of service and the quality of food you recieve. Spotlessly clean everwhere Thankyou for everything Whitbys! See you Thursday! Andrea and Doreen”

“Lovely clean restaurant with cool decor, great fish and chips cooked in beef dripping! Great sized portions of tartar, gravy and mushy peas too. Great puds too! Our server Roxy was absolutely lovely, had a great attitude and was very accommodating for us. Parking here was great too.”

“Visited Whitby’s Fish & Chip Restaurant and overall had a really good experience. The highlight for me was definitely the fish and chips, absolutely amazing. The fish was fresh, perfectly cooked with a light, crispy batter, and the chips were proper chunky and full of flavour. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Service was okay – nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out either. Desserts were decent as well, but didn’t quite match the standard of the main dish. That being said, the quality of the fish and chips alone is enough to bring me back again. If you’re a fan of proper traditional fish and chips, this place is definitely worth a visit. Would happily return again just for that fish 🔥”
