“Delicious takeaway fish & chips. Cooked to order so lovely and fresh. Great value and very generous portions. The mushy peas were some of the best I have ever had from a takeaway.”
- Gray Holmes
“Usually use riverside fisheries but having seen some good reviews though we would give railway a go. What a big mistake. Took batter off to find hardly any fish and the bit that was there was very dry. I would go as far as to say Worst fish and chips we've had in whitby. Riverside next week Feel ripped off.”

“Staying nearby and saw some good reviews so thought we would try it. Very fresh fish with light crispy batter. Huge portions of chips (far too many… also new potatoes - never as fluffy as later in the season but delicious nonetheless.) Cooked to order - friendly and efficient staff. Thanks!”

“Staying in Whitby for a couple of days. This chippy just round the corner from where Staying. Saw the good reviews so thought I would try it. Did not disappoint. The fish and chips where excellent. £10 for a decent size cod & chips is a bargain nowadays. Traditional old style run chip shop. Well worth a visit if in the area. Cash payment only but the meals are not expensive compared to others in the area.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the cod and chips, with the jumbo cod and the large haddock singled out for huge portions and crisp golden batter over thick, flaky fish. Close behind is value, with several calling a decent-sized fish and chips a bargain compared with other Whitby chippies. Chips are described as not too thick and not too thin, fluffy inside, and there are mentions of generous helpings. Several note that everything is cooked to order, so it comes out piping hot, and the family-run staff are called friendly and efficient. One reviewer rates the mushy peas among the best they have had from a takeaway, and another says the order was ready after phoning ahead. The criticism is sharp but comes from a minority. One reviewer who tried it twice describes a soggy, oily mess with stodgy batter, and another found hardly any fish under the batter, with what was there very dry. One reviewer notes payment is cash only. A reviewer walked out with their food in under ten minutes while the queue at a better-known chippy stretched twenty people deep.
