About Royal Fisheries
On Baxtergate in Whitby, Royal Fisheries is a fish and chips shop paired with a licensed, old-school cafe set with green benches, tucked away on a back street. The menu runs to 51 dishes, with haddock served in small and large sizes and crinkle cut chips alongside. Beans and a lemon slice are offered as sides, and steak pie comes served with the beef.

“Had the large haddock, chips and beans with the lemon slice. Delicious and big meaty haddock and good choice to have the crinkly chips! Quite expensive but clean restaurant with a clear seaside vibe. …”

“Great chippy in Whitby. Hidden away on back street. As good as all the well know alternatives but quieter, cheaper, and great service.”

“I was recommended this chippy after online hunting. A fair few places gave it rave reviews. Im going to say I hope I visited on a REALLY off day as it was horrible. The fish was greasy, like it had pooled in the bag through the cardboard tray and seaped through in the space of less than 5 mins. The fish STILL had grease in the batter. It was inedible at the bottom. The chips, despite the grease going over them were dry and the most un fluffy chips with next to no flavour, they had a crinkle effect on them, whether that had anything to do with lack of taste and fluffiness i dont know. They almost hurt my teeth to eat they were that dried out. I couldnt manage much of it at all and I was very disappointed. I dont know how it could be got so wrong. I did even wonder if thats how fish and chips was served over this way!! Thankfully a visit to another chippy the next night made me happier as they got it spot on.”

“The food was delicious! I had the steak pie and the beef was melt in the mouth tender. Crinkle cut chips were fantastic and my other half had the small haddock which he really enjoyed. Staff are lovely and very polite and their homemade gelato for pudding is worth leaving a bit a space for”
- J Simpson
“Called in this afternoon, 13th January. I have severe allergies to dairy and egg, I called to checked ingredients in the batter the day before and everything was fine. The batter is delicious, just as it should be for proper fish and chips. …”
