Abbey Fisheries in Selby

Dreadful. Really gone downhill ☹️

Best Fish & Chips around . Always a friendly greeting & excellent service from Sue & Lou We request how we like our fish cooked and it is always cooked just right . Generous portions at a great value price .

Called whilst halfway through my cycling. The two ladies serving were really chatty and we had great banter. Great to experience old school sense of humour. I ate my fish butty about 7 miles away. It was still hot. Lovely fish and crisp lovely batter. Will be calling again when in area.

Great traditional fish and chip shop. No frills (unless you count pies, mushy peas or battered sausages as frills). Seem to have regular staffing problems leading to slightly reduced opening hours, particularly on Saturdays, which is a pity. Check on a Saturday whether they're open.

Lovely fish and chips served by some cheerful and friendly ladies. Like the way they put some chips under the fish to prevent it sticking to the paper

Ordered here tonight for convenience. 90 mins it took. Food items missing and wrong. Called shop to be told if I leave my name I can get it free next time or go and pick it up. No apology or anything. Multiple staff too busy at back door to help. Chose to go pick it up as the missing item was a main part of the meal, returned home to not just the rest of the meals cold but apparently the scampi looks and tastes like chicken nuggets. I would like the manager to message me back to arrange a refund! (But I'm not holding my breath) # Ordered by own app and doesn't allow refunds!

Wow when they say homemade Yorkshire Fishcakes .. they mean fish cake .. I've had many over the years but never with so much fish in them ...fantastic 😊 Jim brown Hillam near Selby

Nice tasty fish & chips, don't like how the prices have gone through the roof though.....!!

Unfortunately I can't race about this place. The two ladies serving on my visit were miserable ..they tried to make small talk but you could tell they really didn't want to. The portions were decent but the fish was greasy which made the chips taste fatty. We asked for a bag of scraps...but these were dripping with fat. Price point...about the average price in Selby but the quality is average too.

Perfect spam fritters; crispy and tasty.

Great fish and chips. Nice crispy batter, good fish.

best fish and chips around , can be quite a wait on delivery though

Have to say they are the best fish and chips I have had in a very long time. Good value 👍

First sausage and chips up north as I'm from down south , food was fantastic beats any chippy down south , hands down

Called in 04/10/2023 at just after 4pm . My order was f&c, fish ,sausage & chips,3 scollops. I queried size of regular fish (see photo) as looked small. Told by lad serving sold on weight and was a regular size fish. Chips were hard and scrappy, sausage no good, all quite greasy not enjoyable at all, and most went in the bin. Gave this place a second chance as reviewed before and has not improved, unfortunately.

Popped in at 17.30 today for sausage & chips. The sausage was nice but the chips were awful. We couldn't decide if they had been sat there for ages or reheated. They were hard and not very nice to eat. Its the 2nd time we have visited ( the first time the chips were nice hot and freshly cooked) sorry there wont be a 3rd time

Always cooked fresh good taste and great portions

I bought 4 meals from this place, 3 meals were OK and the other meal had a hair in the chips

I ordered large battered sausage and chips when I got home there was a long hair in my chips? I'll not use again

Ordered online to pick up and went to pick up and they forgot to cook fish had to wait when got them home chips were not nice and felt they had been warmed up normally had great service and food from here so very disappointed

got my food delivered 90 mins late and food was stone cold, bad service will never be ordering from there again

We visited yesterday both had fish and chips absolutely gorgeous definitely recommend 👌

Excellent fish and chips. For the best in Selby

Solid 10 out of 10 for their fishcake

*Reevaluated Review* Best fish and chips we've ever had. Chips fresh, fish and sausage perfectly battered, curry sauce second to none. And the lovely lady that served me was very polite. And the price was spot on. Abbey blows the local rival chippy out of the water! Your doing everything right. Bravo 👏

Went in at 4pm, shutting at 5pm. No fish not frying anymore because of a quiet day. Everything was turned off. The staff were very rude and couldn't wait for me to leave, locked the door soon I was out of the shop. I will not be returning. I like to support local businesses. Only offering me chips or sausage. I would like fish, that is why you go into a fish shop

Best chippy in the area. Fish cooked on request. Everything cooked to perfection. Staff are brilliant - humourous, engaging and very helpful. You want fish and chips - go here for quality food and value.

I was SO disappointed I have had fish and chips from here many times and always good but yesterday the fish was terrible I had to hunt for the fish through a really thick batter It was like a sponge cake on the inside

Made me ill the fish was not fresh, too expensive would not go again. Cook to order should mean better food.

Absolutely racist place, no ethnic or minority people welcome, DO NOT go to this place.

New male member of staff is really annoying. Not an asset. Great fish and chips if you can put up with his silly chatter.

An excellent fish and chip shop in Selby selling great products with excellent service and very tasty fish and chips.

The best fish & chips in Selby The staff are always friendly and helpful 👏

Been in today lovley staff lovley food good price too

Who ever the fryer washing it was lyndsey great fish and chips very good value for money the delivery driver Marie very polite as usual highly recommended to family and friends x

Great pleasent service with a smile.excelent value for money and couldnt eat everything.stuffed

Normally great, but on this occasion was a underwhelmed....change in staff and attitude. Maybe just a bad day at the office.

I come in this dinnertime and the gravy was like treacle it was so thick, its not normally really nice, but I'm afraid not today, I will try again, but if its still the same, never again

Very impressed. The fish was crispy and fresh, the chips were soft and fluffy and the presentation was outstanding. Even the staff were very smily and chatty today. Yes the food 9.5/10 presentation 9/10 customer service 10/10 price 7/10 (Yes I know... cost of living chrisis, price hikes) haha Overall review 8.5/10. Experiance 5 star!

Definitely the best fish and chips anywhere

I very rarely have fish and chips as I am usually disappointed but got some for myself and hubby (who is even more fussy than me). Well were we impressed? absolutely fantastic, the batter was spot on, really crispy and no grease in sight, the chips were cooked to perfection. Definitely the best fish and chips in Selby and far beyond. Will not be a stranger to this place anymore.

Really hard work here,it’s like going back 30 years the organisation is shockingly out of date and they need to restructure,for them!have fish ready,5 at a time have sausage in batter ready 10 at a time ! Have someone wrapping the food that is fast and competent fast turnover,more money and better organised. Good food and nice owner otherwise I would have gave it 1 star 👍

Delivery 15 minutes late who cares i dont,lots of things can happen for this to occur traffic,weather,staff shortages.What i do care about is when i order 2 X Regular Fish and Chips,1 Large Fish and Chips and im missing a Regular Fish and Chips and the delivery is late.What i do care about is when i order 1 of each type of Curry Sauce and get instead 1 Curry Sauce,1 Gravy and 1 Mushy Peas.Unlike grocery home deliveries i didnt tick no box that stated "substitutes allowed or just send me what you want".It was a small order of 3 meals and 2 condiments and that could not even be delivered correctly,somebodies got to beable to read orders correctly once received and make sure what has been ordered is in the bags before setting off to the customers home.From Damon Moffatt.

Great fish and chips from HERE with friendly staff SUPERB

If the review was just for the food it would be 5 stars, no complaints there at all. Freezing cold Monday night and it took a good 40 minutes to be served. There were about 4/5 people in front of us, one being an elderly gentleman who only wanted 2x fish and chips. One customer was served at a time which meant a lot of standing around waiting for certain orders which was frustrating when there were fish under the lights that could have been served to someone else in the queue. At one point the queue stretched down the street and some just gave up and left. I understand times are hard with covid and staffing issues but there just didn’t seem to be anything in place to get customers seen quickly. I should have said something to the lady serving but she was nice and did eventually apologise for the wait. It’s a missed opportunity because on a Monday night nowhere else is open so there’s the potential to get lots of new customers who regularly use other chippies.

First of all the food was excellent and a good price, which I suppose is the main point. So why not 5 stars? I did not appreciate being told off, with a harsh tone, for being the 3rd adult in the shop when COVID restrictions limited to 2! I was happy to go back outside and wait thinking I had made a mistake, but when I checked there were No signs informing customers of this limit. How can you comply when the limit isn't posted? It was not my mistake, I had not missed the sign as I initially assumed was the case. The harsh challenge regarding occupancy was followed up with similar behaviour; I felt uncomfortable with the way the younger staff were being treated and spoken to by the lady whom I assume is the manager or owner. It was really busy, bonfire night, and they had a full rail of Internet orders to deal with. But civility costs nothing! It is not nice to see such behaviour and be an ineffective bystander witness. There wasn't opportunity to say anything at the time, nor do I believe it would have been well recieved, but I hope this review causes some reflection and subsequent improvement in the staff working conditions.

The fish and chips are lovely, however waiting time is dreadful. Surely, at busy times ,several fish should be put in to fry rather than waiting until the customer gets to the front of the queue and asking what they want and then putting it in to fry. Something needs to change or business will be lost. I stuck it out , when I went a couple of weeks ago, however several people gave up in frustration and went elsewhere.

This is one of the best chippy I've ever had the staff were friendly and the food is perfect The next time I'm back in Selby this is the chippy for me

Loved it, just what I needed, lovely staff too!

I live across country where fish & chips are not cooked properly anyway, and I am looking forward to my next opportunity to buy the excellent food from this fine shop.

Visited here on Friday evening and had a fish butty, it was really nice and tasty and would definitely come here again. Friendly staff were getting though the queue dispite having power issues. Lovely. See you again.

Beautiful fish. Friendly and helpful even sorted my grandsons food out

Nice f&c friendly staff, car park behind it

Excellent fish and chips great team as we6

Good fish and chips great portions. Nice friendly staff.

May of had a few beers prior to visit, however, was absolutely sensational Geoff! Would absolutely recommend and will 100% be returning

We have fish and chip fridays week in week out for years with no issues , today is thursday what a shocker the batter was disgusting and fish un cooked Fish and chip Friday could be a think of the past for Abbey Fryers

Great! Always service with a smile and the foods good too!!

Food was OK, service was way too slow. Took 25 minutes to get served

Absolutely the best fish n chips in Selby. Great staff. The queues speak for themselves

Brilliant as usual. Huge portions . Very tasty

Very nice fish and chips, lovely staff, thank you.

fish was still flopping aboot on table wonit

Fish and chips was good. Cooked fresh from when we went in good wait time also, nice and short. The only thing is was that it was extremely greasy but what can you expect from fish and chips!

Great staff and great food thanks

Absolutely delicious fish-and-chips Went yesterday did not have to wait. But had to wait A long time. The 2 employees were absolutely fantastic. Especially the young lady behind the counter she was fantastic.

Friendly staff and excellent service

Wonderful service with a smile. And great quality fish and chips..Will order again thank you Abbey fisheries

Lovely food, car park around the back

Freshly fried fish with a decent portion of chips. Due to Covid had to stand outside as only 2 allowed inside at any time. Parking available outside the shop

Me and my partner have been coming into abbey fisheries for a long time as we always enjoyed the fish and chips,However we will not be returning ever again there is a older blonde lady who batters the fish not sure what her name is but she has always been very rude when we have gone in there.Today i went in there and asked for a large battered haddock and chips amongst other things when it come to me paying they had served me a regular battered haddock then she denied i asked for a large haddock and said that i would just have to eat that as she has already cooked it now,i asked to change it and she said no and that the fish is made to order she looked and talked to me like dirt.ive never known anyone so rude before how she works in customer service is beyond me.such a shame because i used that place rugarly and by the sounds of it other people have made complaints about how rude she is too.

Over priced 2 fish and chips and 2 cans of tango for £14:20 was not nice fish and chips and very little food for £14:20

Excellent tasty crispy cod tasty chips 🍟 staff are wonderful 👏 excellent service and reasonable priced xxxxxx

The best fish & Chips in the known universe. I have been travelling here every week for a few years at least. The staff are lovely, the service is tip top and nothing would entice me away. Ive tried the other chippys close by and they don't come close ...... the new owners have been accommodating and allow us to phone in an order for collection as we travel quite far just to visit Abbeys. Keep it up

Our first visit for a take away.. Very impressed..excellent quality food and service with a smile. Would highly recommend

I have tried every fish and chip shop within a 7 mile Radius of Riccall and never been totally happy with them but there is one that I have never tried until tonight abbey fisheries in Selby city centres. I can honestly say they are the best fish and chips I have tasted in a very long time and also the two young ladies that served me where a delight 👍

Lovely fish and chips not greasy nice and crisp batter.

Lovely little shop and very nice food

Just what you need after a hard day at work, fish & chips washed down with a good bottle of red wine..

Been using this place for a good few years and been happy with it. Recently they've started doing the 'Just Eat' food order app for people to order online. Ony last 3 visits I've waited longer than ever before (+30 mins with only 2 people in front of me) to get served when I've visited the shop due to the fact that the staff have no choice but to prioritise the online orders that are coming through. The staff are overworked because of this and clearly all the customer service I was used to has now gone as they are trying to keep up with the orders whilst delivery staff are waiting for them to prepare the orders for them to take. This now means that anyone visiting the shop are being put last. Really disappointed but not the fault of the staff who are lovely.

By far the best chippy in selby

Vile food! Gravy tasted like powder! Ended up throwing my food away because all I could taste was gravy powder🤮 I won’t be going there again!

Very clean and very generous portions

Very friendly staff, and the fish and chips are brilliant

Great meal last night, fresh and hot, and the batter was lovely and crisp! It was fantastic to have it delivered too. Will definitely be back :)

Have had a delivery twice in last 2 weeks So easy to order and choose your time slot Freshly cooked and piping hot Lovely friendly people Thank you Janet x As my hubby high risk this is lovely

Lovely fish and chips and very friendly and helpful staff, will definitely be having some more.

Easy to order by text and confirmation was received quickly. The food was ready at the time specified and was lovely and hot. The fish and chips were really tasty. Would definitely order again.

Freshly cooked in lard, great service from friendly staff who are very efficient and can't do enough for the customers, and the only complaint I can think of is that they are very generous with the chips, and I can't finish them all

Love this chip shop so glad it survived all the rubbish being thrown it's way

Staff are nice and the price is ok. Correct healthy adult portions (normally expect bigger from fish and chip shop). Grate gravy and batter although didn't stick to my sausage very well. We will use again but not pulling me back for more right away.

This chippy was the best ive spent alot of time and money in here but since it burnt to the ground and the two youngs girls have moved on it is shocking service and the two old bats who work there are so arogant its unbelieveable but anyway ill be taking my custom to the codfather to be fair its a better chippy all round now its a shame i used to tell all about abbey fishries never again !!!!!

Best chippie in Selby and surrounding area. Really friendly staff and great freshly fried fish

1st time trying this shop after friends telling me how good it was .Well I wasn’t disappointed .Never had batter so light and fluffy .Staff was very friendly chatting and laughing with customers even though they was very busy.Think the ladies was called lel and les .My children ate all the chips which is a first for them .Would highly recommend this fish and chip shop .Will always be my favourite fish and chip shop from now on .

One of the best fish and chips we’ve had, the fish was delicious so white and the curry was lovely can not recommend abbey fisheries enough reasonably priced also and staff are lovely

fab food fab staff, best in town. my lad loves the sausage n chips from here.the curry is spot on too.

Never fails with the high quality of food thats cooked perfectly and served by a lovely team of genuinely friendly and helpful staff !!!Great new premises with a nice warm welcome too Highly recommended and my 100% honest advice is...... dont bother going to any other fish & chip shops in selby and only use ABBEY FISHERIES

Went in for our special treat of fish and chips and was welcomed by a great smiley face from Paula who made me feel welcomed and she was very helpful.The quality of the great food and friendly service with a smile can’t go amiss.Keep up the great work

This is one of the friendliest takeaways in Selby and the food being good helps as well. If you want the tastiest fish and chips for miles you have to go here

Really good fish and chips, fish always cooked to order. Batter light and crisp. Really friendly staff too.
