Quick info
About Fish Box
On Robin Hood's Bay Rd in Whitby, Fish Box is a fish and chips takeaway with seating on decking that looks over the bay. The menu runs to fourteen dishes, including Fish and Chips and Mushy Peas, Scampi and Chips, and Whitby Wholetail Scampi, alongside Haddock and Chips and Sausage and Chips. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, with no reservations. Old style mushy peas accompany the fried dishes, and the fish and chips arrives in a crispy, light batter. Chicken bites and gravy are made with real chicken rather than nuggets. Photos on the walls give the space a nostalgic feel. It opens daily, and the decking gives customers a spot to eat with a view over the water rather than just collecting their order and leaving.

“Upon my arrival today at said “Fish Box” I was pleasantly greeted by the young stallion of a woman at the front of the shop who seemed to be running the gaff and who I happily gave my order to. What I ordered ended up being a small fish, …”

“Fish and chips, chicken bites and gravy with mushy peas. Fish was fab nice and flaky and tasted gorgeous. Definitely recommend. Gravy, mushy peas and chicken bites were great according to my partner. Not chicken nuggets but real chicken. Yum she said. Lovely view from seating out to sea. Well worth the short walk down or up.”

“I really enjoyed my visit to Fishbox in Robin Hood’s Bay. The décor is charming, especially with all the old photos that give the place a cozy, nostalgic feel. The food was fresh and tasty, and even in winter, the restaurant was warm and comfortable while still offering stunning views of the bay. The fish had a lovely, crispy batter, the bread was fresh, and the chips were well-cooked, not too oily, which I appreciated. I did think my local is better though, but nothing to fault it. Overall, a great spot for a relaxed meal with a view.”
