Ayton's Fish and Chips in Hambleton

I have been in Great Ayton for a few days and visited the chip shop twice, I have gave it 5 stars for good reason. Shop is immaculate and so clean, staff are so polite and helpful, but finally the food quality is superb. The cost for the food is also really good, opening times vary but if you are in the area, go visit it, as you will not be disappointed.

Amazing - freshly cooked fish, crispy batter, proper chips and of course scraps!! The service and banter was first rate! Will definitely be back for more on our next visit

Without a doubt the best fish & chips I’ve ever had, just passing through the area and decided to stop. Everything cooked to perfection, huge portions .

First time trying - beautiful food and great service.

Excellent fish and chips. I don't even live in Great Ayton but it's worth the trip. Highly recommended

Fantastic fish and chips. It's really tasty. Coming from New Zealand, these were the best we've ever had! Really friendly customer service, too. The batter on the fish was perfection! Really reasonably priced. Highly recommend

The North East coast is known for our great fish & chips. We buy for ourselves, visitors and friends. I have been as a workman behind the scenes and this place is spotless. Very highly recommend

Living down on the south coast,you would assume the fish and chips,would be some of the best around?Sadly not. When my partner and I visit her mother in great Ayton, the first meal on my agenda is fish and chips, with curry sauce from Aytons fish and chips. These fish and chips are by far the best They beat any I've ever eaten,hands down. We are currently planning on relocating to great Ayton and I can't wait A slower pace of life,surrounded by beautiful countryside and lovely people and let's not forget,the best fish and chips, right on our doorstep.,and a couple of great pubs. What's not to love about this place.

This has got to be the worst fish and chips ever , ordered 2 haddock which came rather quickly only to find dry old fish and over cooked batter which fell off the fish obviously reheated from last night and at seven pound a fish high way robbery .

Best fish & chips in the area by miles friendly staff, very helpful and very clean definitely value for money, been coming here for years and never had any complaints, wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Friendly staff and best fish and chips!

Service was good however the food was truly vile not what I was expecting from a village chippy , rancid soggy Chips and a sausage in batter that was burnt and a frozen cheap sausage which considering there's a butchers practically next door it's a crime , the fish wasn't fresh and was dripping in grease probably as they are using batter the Chinese use for sweet dishes for fish 🤣 the same batter you get on banana fritters these are putting on fish and sausages ! You literally can't make this up ! A horrible experience 😪 nobody in that facility should be allowed near food

We have been going to this fish shop for years , every week either on Friday or Saturday night. Most of the time the fish and chips were very tasty. White chip cooked to perfection and thick pieces of white cod. Sometimes slightly overcooked but overall it was good enough to make us keep coming back . Tbh we would recommend them to other people. For the last 3 weeks in a row the fish and chips have been terrible . We gave them 3 chances but unfortunately that’s it . The chip were brown soggy and tasted awful . The chips seemed to have cooked and warmed up ? Not sure if this is the case but that’s how they seemed. Where there was fish. One portion small and overcooked, the other non existent, plate of batter and limp greasy brown revolting tasting chips. The fish over cooked with a Yellow tint to it and hard around the edges I knew they were going to terrible again when I smelt them in the car. The servers have always been not friendly but I can put up with that but I am not giving them any more chances with the food. For the third week running , I am sat here feeling sick with a horrible after taste .£20 out of pocket . It makes me wonder what’s gone so wrong with Great Aytons Tradition fish and chip shop?

Sorry this was the wrong Ayton!

Fish and chips were excellent. Visited once last month and got served by a very miserable had mannered member of staff with orange spiky hair. She served me again this month when I visited and unfortunately spoilt the whole experience.

Awesome fish and chips, cooked to order with first class friendly service.

It's not very often that I write a review. Credit has to go to where it’s due. This chippy really does take some beating. In my experience you have never met a more down to earth lot. The fish that is served reminds me of the fish and chips from my youth. I highly recommend trying the curry sauce. I appreciate this place and the efforts of the people within it. Long may they and it continue to be a part of Ayton’s landscape.

Lovely fish and chips stopped for my tea on way to Guisborough to watch football Lovely staff and owner definitely go again 👍

Best fish and chips around and super friendly staff!

Tried it this weekend and thought the portions size was small and the food was average.

Excellent value, large cod served fresh as cooked to order. Staff pleasant , overall lovely and would recommend

On holiday in this area and sampled Great Ayton's traditional Yorkshire fish and chips. They are based in the High Street. Its been years since we had any as good as this. They fry to order so there may be wait but its so worthwhile as the fish is nice and fresh and chips cooked well. We enjoyed them so much that at the end of our holiday we went back for more! Would certainly recommend if in the area.

Best around by far 👍 freshly cooked, friendly staff, cannot fault it 😋

Excellent, best fish and chips I have had from a shop not on the sea

Lovely fish and chips cooked to order. Nice staff too.

Ayton traditional fish and chip shop is a fantastic place to go for a quick and tasty meal, with the gorgeous smell of warm salt "n" vinegar, and don't forget mushy peas and scraps, there is a good choice on the menu and the staff are friendly and helpful, the chip shop is very popular, there is parking but it is first come first serve.

Really nice chippy, fish was cooked to order but service was nice and quick. The chips were fantastic. Reasonably priced too

A proper old school fish and chip shop cooking to order so everything is fresh - plus generous portions and a wide menu of options.

Recently I visited Great Ayton, from the US. This was my first authentic fish and chips ever. Ayton's did not disappoint. People working there were very friendly. Thanks for a memorable experience!

We loved the fish and chips from Aytons, everything about it was really good, fast friendly service, and excellent quality fish and chips. Highly recommended!

Great fish and chips, bit of a wait because it's so popular but well worth it.

Large portion of chips is not as big as I would expect but quality of chips and large battered sausage was average standard and I would return.

Worst fish & chips I’ve ever had. Soggy, greasy chips & the batter on the fish tasted burnt

Called in today for a very quick lunch between meetings. No one else in and they didn’t have a minimum spend for my card, so was served and out in a minute. Sat in the car eating superb chips on a rainy day watching the world go by. Nice people and the chips were spot on, in fact the best I’ve had in some time.

Lovely, hot fish and chips. Fish cooked fresh on arrival. Nit too greasy. Good price. Cash or card payment

Called in today (20/5/22) on our way to whitby, absolutely beautiful, very tasty, will definitely be back here.

Outstanding quality, all fish cooked fresh to order, friendly and efficient staff.

Excellent quality and excellent service

The best fish and chips in the North East! Good service and the extra large fish is!

Always cooked to order and the service is great. Wouldn’t go anywhere else in the area.p the best in the area.

Best fish and chips for miles around.

Wow lovely friendly approach and great customer service throughout waiting for our fish 🐠 n Chips great value and tasty thank you very much not a nearby customer live in coulby Newham but so worth the drive.

Always excellent. Some of the best F&C outside of Whitby.

I’ve lived in Lancashire, West Yorkshire and West Midlands and now settled on the coast in Redcar. Tried lots of fish & chips from around these places and favourite place used to be in Whitby, that was until I found AYTONS, just went for a ride out today and stopped here for Cod & chips, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Taste just like they used to when I was a kid, when they used dripping for frying, not only that but is was a lovely thick fillet of (skin off) cod and lovely tasting, freshly fried chips . Well worth the 12 mile drive. Sorry Redcar and Whitby, but it’s Great Ayton every time from now on. BRILLIANT. Was so impressed had to pop my head back in to tell them, a job well done deserves praise.

Fabulous fish and chips, very fresh and plentiful

We regularly go to Aytons Fisheries and the two gentlemen who usually cook are lovely and friendly and always very kind. Each time however one particular lady serving at the front is miserable. I’ve noticed it a few times but on a recent visit with a family member they commented on how rude and ignorant she is too. The food is second to non however the lady serving ruins the charm of the business in my personal opinion. Im a very outgoing bubbly person however, it’s not difficult to be polite and thank a customer after you’ve served them. Other than that the food is lovely. I would of gave five stars without hesitation had the one member of staff didn’t persistently make us feel unwelcome. Maybe some extra training in customer service wouldn’t go a miss.

Disgusted to stand in a queue for 10 mins to be told they are closed!! This was 1840 on a Saturday evening!!!!

Being fairly close to Whitby, I expected this fish to be really fresh. It tasted like it had been in the freezer for months and the batter was a weird dark brown colour. Chips were soggy too! I wonder if the fat was off? Not impressed! We will not be returning!

Would recommend this fish shop lovely food

Great fish and chip shop with fish cooked to order .

Long queue but moved quickly lovey fresh food. We had Petch Pie special, Peter Mince pie with chips mushy peas and gravy. Portions a little to big for me

Great traditional fish and chip shop, well ran lovely polite staff been using them for years.

Good fish and chips. Lovely big white flakes. Cooked to order, so Red-hot. Will keep on supporting this shop.

Only place we go for fish and chips. Always cooked to order.

Lovely chips. Parking is a bit of a joke but the food was lovely.

Great chippy friendly staff. I asked for a large cod and got a shark what I mean it was massive.

Best fish and chips this side of the river Tees !!

Covid safe fish n chips to die for.

I didn't dislike. I have visited for many years - our favourite Fish Shop. I am not so good with marking the "Star system" & hope I have got it right this time. Thanks.😷

We had a Friday evening meal and enjoyed it. It was busy (lockdown queuing) and it was working hard- that might explain the sense of competence rather than excitement? It’s a decent stop, no problems, but based on this visit, not quite of the top drawer.

Top quality fish and chips, big portions, the guy cooking the fish is very friendly, clean , lovely fish and chips easily the best in the teesside area and I d go as far as saying better than anything Whitby offers ( have noticed the quality in whitby going down pre lockdown) . Fish cooked to order. Very popular. Sometimes Q s outside, but always dealt with quickly and well worth the wait.

Fantastic fish and chips, the best.

Great fish and chips, and very pleasant staff, made to order, can't beat it. Yum yum piggys bum.

Can't Fault the Place best Fish and Chips for Miles Around 👍

The best fish and chip shop in Middlesbrough.

Had fish & Chips and sausage and chips from this shop, it's the first time we have used the Shop as we are only just moving into the area. Everything was delicious, the staff were very friendly, we are looking forward to using this fish shop on a regular basis.

Second visit but still the batter on the fish was over cooked and hard - and the fish dried out and dull.

Tasty fish and chips, nice crispy batter. Portion sizes good. Little bit of a wait but not a prob as your then getting fresh food.

Great fish and chips! Staff sometimes a bit abrupt. 😔

The first time we tried this Fish and Chip shop was years ago - not very good then but decided to give it another chance today. Such a mistake! Good quality fish completely ruined. Based on this visit the owner has absolutely no idea how to cook fish properly. The fish was literally swimming in fat. Disgusting and will not be back. Two strikes and out.

Delicious. Cooked to order so piping hot. Fish so soft and batter done to s turn. Def recommended

The delicious fish and chips were the perfect antidote to a wet Friday. It’s very popular, not surprisingly, so we had a short wait - our order was taken while we were waiting in line and the fish was perfectly cooked to order. We had cod and chips and it was possibly the best I’ve ever had. The fish was so fresh, sweet and succulent and the batter was very crispy, not at all greasy. The same can be said for the chips - crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The regular portion was very generous and great value. I wish this was our local fish and chip shop.

Nice but expensive, £7.90 for sausage and chip with a breadbun and can of coke.

Called Wednesday lunchtime 17/6/20 desided to try fish and chips witch were absolutely lovely the chap doing the cooking seems very nice but the lady serving is misrable & very rude it's as if she doesn't want to be there this was our third visit but she will not put us of not going lovely fish & chips.

£2 for a tiny portion of chips and mark up on pies is a joke. Fish and chips taste alright but not worth the cost.

Always freshly cooked. Lovely fish,batter and chips

Fish and chips was the request from my partner. We had been told about this place by some friends living in Great Broughton, what a great recommendation. Freshly cooked and scummy, definitely will visit again.

Visited today for the first time with a friend from Stokesley. Great quality haddock and cod, perfectly cooked. As good as Whitby. Will certainly visit again!

Been frying for years should know better

Great service, big portions, friendly staff what more do you need to know

This is our go to chip shop. Visit regularly and highly recommend the place. Fish is always cooked fresh to order and is easily comparable to those expensive restaurants in near by Whitby (if not better)

Best fish and chips for miles and miles, never fails to be amazing!

Fish cooked fresh when you get there. Good choice includes Cod Haddock Skate. Overall a good chippie

It’s busy for a reason, always very tasty fish and a good portion size. The battered sausage is class. We go very often and the place is always clean and tidy.

This is a popular chippy and the quality is always consistently good. All fish is cooked to order to ensure it is fresh and hot. Cant go wrong.

By far the best fish and chips in the area, Good size portions, Superb value for money, Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent fish and chips. Well worth traveling to and enjoy freshly cooked to order food. Plenty of seating outside to take 8n the beauty of great ayton

We visited on a recommendation and whilst it was good, it wasn't that great that we would go out of our way again.Whilst you can't really go wrong with chips, however I found the sausage to be a little soggy. The fish was a great size though and my husband enjoyed it. We paid just over £10 for both.We visited on a friday just before 12pm and Great Ayton was absolutely packed! I'd thought it only busy on a weekend with tourists, but the roads driving there were a nightmare with double parked cars and once we got to the high street we couldn't park anywhere near the shop. We ended up parking the other side of town, past Suggitt's, and walking 5 minutes to the fish & chip shop, so not very convenient. Because of this we will not be returning, we live in Nunthorpe so will try Stokesley next time.Staff very friendly. About a 10 minute wait but was peak time just after 12pm when we visited and fish is cooked to order.

Best fish and chips round these parts

Best fish and chips in Yorkshire.

Excellent food well cooked and great value.

Fantastic fish and chips very tasty friendly service cooked properly gorgeous

Never visited this fish &chip shop before as not local to area but we were sight seeing and came across this fish shop in the high street.Ordered only a portion of chips and I must say they were lovely, very tasty so can only imagine that the fish would be great also.Facilities immaculately clean and I was served with a smile, which is rare these days.If we are in area again I will certainly be coming here.GREAT

Beautiful fresh fish and chips, well worth a visit

Superb fish and chips which are always beautifully cooked and fresh. Have never had a bad meal from here.

The best fish and chip shop in the area! Fish cooked fresh to order, which works perfectly with the steady moving queue of customers! Highly reccomended ;-}

ALWAYS...... Great service, 1st rate.... fabulous fish and chips.... always cooked fresh, great curry sauce.

Lovely, always top quality food!

The best Fish and Chips give a try.

Was nice when it first opened but been twice since definitely won’t return, DONT but the small cod for £.350 . 3 of us visited this shop and got 3 small cod for £10.50 with our chips we were gutted at the size of these things you could get a full cod for £4.80 split it between 3 and we’d of had more cod if it was cod pretty tasteless to say the least curry had no flavour and large chips are more like small very anemic so white and mushy very dissatisfied don’t waste your money, all 3 of us said we wouldn’t return and we won’t very poor quality and greedy portions.
