  “Bought fish & chips here for the first time in years its not something we eat at all often, we used the takeaway, the meal was lovely however the staff was miserable you expect when you say thankyou and have a nice evening to get a response but youngsters today just look at you like they have never been taught manners...hard to understand why you would work in a customer faced environment? Entitled youths are not my thing as manners cost nothing, but the meal was nice.”

  “The chips were fine, but the fish was awful. Ordered regular haddock and the batter was not stuck to the fish. This usually happens when the fish is too moist ( possibly frozen ?) and steams inside the batter. Usually eat at the Pudsey branch where both fish and chips are both perfect. Harry Ramsden will be turning in his grave. BTW. I recommended mushy peas as I was unable to post my review without recommending something.”

  “Always a great place to enjoy fish and chips in a lovely setting. The chandeliers and live piano music give it a really nice atmosphere, while the staff are always friendly and pleasant. We’ve never had a disappointing meal here. There may be places closer to us, but this is the one we prefer coming back to.”

  “This was my first time in the Restaurant since it was called Harry Ramsden. We use to visit whenever we stayed up with our relatives in Bradford. I can confirm that the Fish and Chips, the young staff and atmosphere was EXCELLENT! From ordering the food to getting the food was super quick and efficient. If only there was something as good in the Cambridge area. Thank you Wetherby Whaler for maintaining the highest quality of food, and thank you for bringing back fond memories.”

  “We got the takeaway and it was so efficient, more than fast food restaurants. Great service even though just a takeaway counter. Feel a bit disappointed with portion of the sharer but fish and chips is good deal.”

  “Used to visit regularly when it was Harry Ramsden's. First time visit since it's become the Wetherby whaler. Food & service good and decent parking. Pianist can get a bit overpowering after a while due to volume.”

  “Consistently great food and service for decades. Formerly the iconic Harry Ramsden’s that was once the largest fish and chip restaurant in the world. Still great despite the change of name and glad it still has live music to add to the atmosphere. Food - fish and chips of course - was excellent and great value, but there is lots more on the menu if you want it. Dining-in is recommended but there’s a takeaway too and outdoor seating, plus plenty of parking.”

  “What a lovely restaurant!! I have not been here since I was a child when it was the first Harry Ramsdens! It was always a special treat.. and years later ..it still is! The food and the choice was exceptional for Coeliacs! The GF Fish,Chips and Mushy Peas were outstanding but the choice of Traditional British Desserts was such a wonderful change! It's usually a Brownie for us Coeliacs.. but here , the choice was endless.. I went for the Sherry Trifle in the end , but there was Black Forest Sundae , Cherry Pie , Treacle Sponge, etc.. I'm so impressed! And it was lovely to have a pianist playing in the background while we ate.. a marvellous experience!!”

  “Take away Fish and chips are now £9 Today, I thought I'd get something cheaper, pie and chips! Very small microwaved pie and small chips in a medium-sized box. When you get fish and chips you get a layer of chips and fish on top. When I got my pie a portion was put on one side and when complained they said that's how it comes. I feel taken advantage of because I'd paid up front. I'm not sure I'll be coming back here again. There are plenty of other chippy's nearby.”
