  “Following a business meeting in York, my colleague and were hungry and we both suggested Thompson's Famous Fish & Chips on the A64 on the outskirts of York. There is plenty of parking outside, and we were shown straight to a table near the window. The service was prompt and efficient. We both ordered fish and chips (gluten free for me) and the food came quickly. It was piping hot and very tasty indeed. The portion for me was just right and if I'd had time I might have been tempted to a pudding! All in all, a great experience and the price was reasonable.”

  “We haven’t even left the car park and I had to write this review!!! We popped in on our way to Whitby and ordered a cod & chips with sides and ate it in the dedicated outdoor seating area. Perhaps we had lovely weather on our side but I doubt even the rainiest, overcast days would alter my opinion that this meal was outstandingly delightful. The chips were perfection - soft but crispy. How??? And the fish was perfectly battered where it was not too heavy - almost a lovely tempura. I cannot rate highly enough of this place and will return next time we visit. This is a wonderful place to stop in for a quick bite, refresher (if bathroom is needed).”

  “I planned to call here for our lunch on our way to Pickering for proper Yorkshire Fish & Chips, we never buy them local to where we live. First visit and we were not disappointed Haddock & chips for me and my wife Scampi, service was very quick from our delightful waitress Tracy and very engaging, food was just what we wanted and very generous portions and tasty, atmosphere was very pleasant, I think we need to move closer from Warrington 🤣”

  “Called on our way back to Sheffield from bank Holiday in Whitby. It was evening but we had fish n chips steak pie and chips peas, gravy and curry sauce. We ate on the picnic benches and it was really nice. Much better than expected and will now become a regular stop for us. The fish was fresh and tasted great. The Steak pie looked home made and was full of meat. If your passing check em out.”

  “This place is amazing and very busy. We took a takeaway, but there is a sit down option too. Highly recommended if your in the area. Ample parking and dual entrance so easy in and out. My other half had pie and chips, and the pie was stacked with meat and the gravy was amazing. Good prices too.”

  “We managed to get a table right before they closed and we weren’t disappointed after hearing really good things about the place. The large fish (which was simply two portions) was lovely and the chips, peas and curry sauce were all top notch. Lovely service provided by the waitress too who was really attentive while we ate, we’ll definitely be back again soon. The menu also includes a variety of options if traditional fish and chips doesn’t take your fancy.”
