  “Given all the awards, I thought I should try at least the chips as I love them fried in beef dripping. However the chips were quite dry and tasteless even with loads of vinegar on (which also seemed watered down as not much taste). Portion was a fair size for £3.50. Maybe it was a bad batch of spuds but had nicer at Royal Fishery and Terry's. Had to wait around ten minutes even though they had just opened, I kinda of expected a busy place like this to constantly have chips cooking but clearly it's fresh to order which is fine but for a busy place they just should just continuously cook.”

  “1st of all I nearly walked out as when we entered the building we were told to go back outside and wait. Yet others did the same without being told. That asside the service was quick and polite the was food tasty and a reasonable portion size.no better or worse than I've had elsewhere. hardly any grease left on the plate after eating though.i had the hake and chips where the batter was nice and crispy the chips were OK but I really do like my chips blanched . I didn't like the tables and seats as a larger person wouldn't have fit at the table.i have put some photos on so you can see my meal and my partners.”

  “Well.... It's definitely 5 stars - no doubt it's great fish and chips. It's very 'vanilla' though - I've had better F&C for my taste. Everything is just done really well but it's somehow not very memorable - maybe a touch robotic is the word for the food and service. Given how busy it is, maybe it has to be. If it was the only F&C in town, I'd gladly go back. It's not though, not quite good enough to stop me try somewhere else next time.”

  “We recently stopped a night a Whitby and after my wife had read all the reviews we had to give it a go for ourselves, and I’m so glad we did potentially the best fish and chips we have ever had! We went there around 7pm on a Tuesday night and was greeted by the door and taken to a booth seating area where we was presented menus by Karen who I must say was a fantastic host and a credit to the company incredibly helpful and attentive, food and atmosphere was amazing can’t wait to go back!! Amazing food and value for money!”

  “We love Trenchers delicious seafood freshly caught and beautifully prepared. We usually see Liam first looking after and seating the customers always a big smile ……. we visited on 26 May 2026 with my niece and her 2 children who thoroughly enjoyed their meals especially Lilly who had an ice lolly as part of her children’s meal, big brother James enjoyed a large portion of fish cakes like his Mum Sarah. I knew that Trenchers was the right place for us to lunch before we headed to the beach for sand castles & swimming in the sea. We found ourselves in Whitby again 7 September 2026 smaller table for two this time and as ever we enjoyed a delicious meal my husband Richard enjoyed his Haddock while I had King Prawns with Cod/haddock fish bites ….. oh my they were delicious😊. Evie attended to our table and nothing was too much trouble for her, bless her she also boxed 2 giant pieces of Lemon 🍋 & Ginger cheesecake (which I spied on the way passed the display cabinet) it is my absolute favourite it’s not just a good cheesecake it’s a ‘Great’ cheesecake and although I found myself pleasantly full after my fish I thought as I’d waived the chips this little treat would be well deserved later…… and it was every delicious mouthful 😊. We both thoroughly recommend a visit to Trenchers in Whitby you definitely won’t be disappointed….. delicious fresh fish prepared and served with such care and the staff are so welcoming Thank you all so much for continuing to make our visits to your restaurant so special 😊definitely 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐o”

  “Visited for a Sunday lunchtime and received the same wonderful service and food as usual. This time we took other family members and grandchildren along who were all equally impressed by our venue and food choices. Fish and chips with half and half (chips and salad) for the adults and a reasonably price three piece meal for the children(drink, main and sweet). Portion size good, fish, chips and sides - delicious. A firm favourite- visited many times in past and undoubtedly will continue to in my future. FULLY RECOMMEND 👌”

  “What a fantastic find on our trip to Whitby. The staff were so welcoming and helpful with my mobility scooter. As for the food, wow, fantastic quality! My wife and I had the Fish Tapas (Thai king prawns, fish goujons, salt and pepper squid and Whitby Scampi) and our daughter had the amazing looking cod and chips. Superb flavours! Oh on a side note, the disabled toilet facilities were spotless like the rest of the restaurant.”

  “Excellent and friendly service, very clean and nice atmosphere. Food portions were spot on and the foods itself was very tasty. Magpies used to be my go-to for fish and chips when visiting Whitby but it was a bit too crowded. Trenchers is now my new home for a good slap up fish and chips with a cool larger.”

  “I may have had too high expectations when we visited. The place was extremely busy but seemed to be working like clockwork. We queued outside as you can’t book for tables for two but to be fare we didn’t wait long. Drinks were ordered and was asked would we like the drinks when the meal arrives or straight away which we thought was considerate. We ordered a small cod and chips and a seafood salad. All the staff were working so fast so little time for pleasantries. The fish and chips were nice but to be honest not amazing and the seafood salad was excellent in parts like the dressed crab and smoked salmon but the mussels were tasteless. However they did serve a great cup of tea and plenty of it. Overall nice but not amazing but very fast paced.”
