How basic hygiene standards have dropped in this industry. We called into this restaurant on a visit to Richmond. The food was good as always. However, we were half way through our food when we noticed the guy who I presume was the chef/fryer working downstairs. You could hear him upstairs in the restaurant coughing his very chesty guts up constantly and very loudly. He was also throat hacking in-between the coughing fits. He clearly was not using a handkerchief or coughing into his arm. It was really disgusting to listen to. Another older couple in the restaurant made a comment to the woman who waited on us and she just shrugged and said 'oh everyone has a bad cough recently' She did say something to the guy down stairs but he either didnt care or he didnt understand his disgusting unhygienic problem because he carried on regardless. Why do ppl in the food industry think this vile behavior is acceptable. Use a hanky of stay at home if you are not well. Has he not heard the saying 'Coughs and sneezers carry diseases' . Basic hygiene is really lacking with this man!

Best chippy I've visited in ages. Everything cooked fresh and was lovely. Crispy batter and really nice chips. Huge portion of haddock too. Reasonably priced and friendly staff.

Best Fish and Chips I’ve ever had! I have recently got back from Richmond and the fish and chips were so good I came on here to give a review and I can’t believe the reviews, honestly me and my mum got fish chips and gravy to share, sat outside and ate it and we both were mind blown! The chips were crunchy the fish tasted incredible and the gravy…. Well I could have bathed in it. So often these days when I have fish and chips I’m disappointed, often soggy chips, greasy batter and not much flavour but here it was honestly so good we had it again for lunch the next day. I can rate this chippy enough, and I’ve tried loads from the top rated ones in Whitby, Padsto and all over the Cornish coast and this one was by far, like by loads far the very best have ever tasted. Thanks for being so tasty!!!

Called for lunch on our regular visit to Richmond. We have tried most of the other cafe and pubs in the town and this was by far the best place to eat. It was fantastic. Fish and chips (beautifully cooked) tea and a pudding all for just over £12 each, an absolute bargain. We will definitely be back.

We’d been to the theatre and so it was quite late 21.10 and it was shutting at 21.30… I understand they’ve probably had a busy day and ready to go home but I’m still a paying customer until you close. The guy behind the counter was abrupt and rude. The chips were warm and soggy the fish was tiny. I won’t be going again. There’s no need to be rude when your taking people money.

Have been many times for a Cod meal,this time served a pink fleshed fish which they claimed was Haddock.I think as it had no Haddock taste it was actually BASA fish.The rest of the meal and service was of the usual standard.

This place is very busy which is usually a good sign and it has a huge take away trade (at the time of visit). However the Fish and Chips were very tasty, the chips particularly so and the Fish is skinless. Must be one of the best Chippers in North Yorkshire and as an added bonus the counter staff were friendly and pleasant. Will be sure to re-visit

Lovely fish and fish and chips. This place was recommended by another family member for lovely flaky fish and chunky chips. The portions were really big, large for me and standard for my wife. Accompanied by tea, coffee and bread and butter. Plus a dessert of your choice. I would recommend anyone to eat here, especially if you have a big appetite.

We had the choice of two chippies in the Richmond Market Square - the Castle, which does haddock (but takeaway only), or Barker's which only does cod (but has an upstairs sit-down restaurant). I'm very much a haddock man myself, but - as I had my dearly beloved with me - Barker's it was. And what a happy choice that proved to be. The upstairs restaurant is cosy and pleasant, with nice views over the square; we were warned by the friendly waitress that the takeaway downstairs was very busy, so we might have to wait a little while, but I took that as a good sign (although hardly surprising as it was 6pm on a sunny Saturday.) In the event we barely had time to start on the bread and butter and large pot of proper tea that came with our meal before my wife's 'small' cod and chips - and my gratifyingly large one - appeared in front of us. And it was easily the best cod and chips I had had in a very, very long time: every mouthful of both the fish and the chips was savoured with delight (and also, in my wife's case, the mushy peas; can't stand 'em myself). No doubt in my mind that that fish had to have been very fresh indeed, the chips had obviously not seen the inside of a plastic bag, and both must have been cooked in fresh beef dripping - absolutely the only way that they could have tasted that good. To top it all off, my wife's lemon & lime cheese cake dessert (included in the price) was deemed excellent and 'obviously home-made', while my ice cream was perfectly fine too. And all the above for a grand total of £22.90. The only way that meal could possibly have been improved would have been a tea cosy to keep that lovely pot of tea hot a bit longer; and the only reason that this reviewer gave four stars rather than five was that the toilets were locked out of use - so we had to sneak into a pub across the road . . .

This is a good, solid place that has an old-fashioned, no nonsense vibe and delivers the best chips I've tasted in years. They were light and fluffy inside with just the right crispness on the outside, proper chips! The fish was tasty and not too greasy, with crisp, yummy batter cooked to perfection. Staff were friendly and accommodating for my son's special needs and we sat in to eat our delicious food. Only criticism is that the plastic forks were flimsy and could be wooden for environmental reasons, and the floor around the table was a little dirty. No complaints about the cleanliness of the food surfaces and kitchen at all, though, and overall, the experience was overwhelmingly positive. Definitely coming back with my dad soon for his favourite dish!

My Fish chips and curry sauce were excellent crispy battered fresh fish, and chunky crisp chips. served almost instantly. at £9.95 it was amazing value for money and served by a friendly pleasant and helpful staff member. This fish and chip restaurant shows some of my local ones in Newcastle upon Tyne how it should be done at a better price.

We called in the signage mentions a restaurant so in we went and asked if we could eat in. No mention of would we like to go upstairs or another offer of seating we placed our order to the unsmiling lady who went on to say some of the order would be extra,well actually fair enough but I do expect to pay for what I order. I was expecting a plate as there was a stack a foot high behind her, but our fish and chips was shovelled into a cardboard box and the peas into a carton then help yourself to plastic knives and forks that are still stuck together so everyone has to fiddle with them. So we took out food to the nearby table, best described as one of the picnic variety as the chairs don't pull out. Then the lady and the fryer went out side the window for a smoke. End of the first half. Perhaps I didn't ask enough questions. So be prepared to make yourself clear because information is not offered Second half. The food was actually really good fresh and hot and we really enjoyed it, not as good as our local chippy but good and although the portions are not huge perfectly adequate and good value I thought. Would we go back , no, plenty of good pubs in Richmond.

DO NO EAT HERE!!! This is the worst place I have ever eaten from. Myself and my husband waited for a takeaway of kebab and chips for 20mins or even more and when I say kebab meat, I mean the brown pieces of something they took out of the prepackaged frozen bag and heated up in the microwave (that’s right, I kid you not, right there in front of my eyes) the owner and his wife (I assume) were very rude to myself, my husband and other customers in the shop. The woman even bad mouthed a customer that had just left the shop. Absolutely disgusting and will never go there again. I am surprised this shop is even allowed to be open.

I write this with a heavy heart, as I have been buying food from this chippy for years. But on this occasion I was really annoyed at the woman whom was frying the Fish and chips as she was rather loud and obviously giving instruction to there new guy who was front of house so to speak. She was telling him the do's & dont's of the way they did things. And she went on to start making statements about southerner's being ignorant and horrible people!! Yes this was whilst my wife and myself had just bought some food and where sitting inside to eat them. I was fuming because my wife hail's from Enfield in London!!! So you can imagine how she felt!!! Well I was spitting nails, because both the owner and the new employee were both having their ten penneth about the south and the people who happen to be born and bred there, and I quote"Yeah the south is ok but the people are ignorant and not very nice!!!" Shame on you Barker's of Richmond!! So as you can imagine that I will never ever be frequenting this establishment ever again!!!! Not professional and certainly not endearing to be slagged off whilst actually eating their food that we have just paid for!!!!! I honestly do not understand people who mouth off total crapp like this when they knew full well that there were customers in their establishment. I hope that you are "embarrassed" by your little outburst!!!

It is a while since we visited Richmond and were happy to see that our favourite fish and chip restaurant was still going. IT was mid afternoon on a Saturday when we accended the stairs to find there was only one table occupied. Another couple came in after us which made it better. My husband ordered the usual fish chips peas with tea bread and butter with added ice cream for £8.95 all good and reasonable. I chose a cheese burger with chips with coleslaw and salad at a reasonable price of £6.95 and a tea for me. Service was quite good and the girl was quite pleasant. However the burger was cold I preserved with it but left half of it. When the girl came for the plates I did mention it but apart from an apology nothing was done and as I said to her it was not her fault as she did not cook it. Do not think we will be rushing back!!

Its the worst chip shop I've been into, chips are rubbish, mainly over fried scraps or soggy fat undercooked things.The sausage have never seen meat or been near it judging by the taste. Curry is powdery lumpy and cheap packet stuff. Peas are runny liquid and don't contain many peas. The fish I has was grey and tasteless, and from what the fryer said it comes in frozen, thats why it looks that way. Its not the only chippy, as the closest one is just the opposite of this as far as quality goes.

We visit Richmond regularly from Teesside as we love the place and for years have gone to this place for the high quality and value of its food and service. However after visiting today I doubt very much that we will return, my wife and I decided to head to Richmond for lunch where we looked forward to our favourite scampi and chips dish that has always been an extremely generous portion and served with a very tasty fresh salad which actually made the dish. Today however we got there and place was empty no staff in sight, after 5 minutes my wife found someone to ask if they were open, the response - yes that's why we have a bell as all staff are downstairs, first negative - no staff in a restaurant???. We then made our order of 3 kids meals and 2 scampi for my wife and I along with 2 Teas. Firstly the drinks, one small teapot between 2 of us when we asked if that was for both of us we were told yes but don't worry we can give you a top up of hot water, great free water ! Then the food came, 6 pieces of scampi, handful of chips and a token side salad (swimming in water had to use tissue to drain plate) we asked what had happened to what we normally get and where advised that the owners had changed and if we now wanted a decent salad with the dish it would be an extra £3. So in conclusion, prices up, portions reduced, service poor and quality out of the window. Actually talking of windows we spent half our meal with the window cleaner staring at us as he cleaned the windows, whilst not directly the restaurants fault it may be beneficial for them to ask that cleaning does not take place at 12:15 lunch time on a weekend. Final issue, the toilets are now locked and you have to ask for a key to go to the toilet which is both inconvenient and seems a bit much in a community town like Richmond. Really disappointed to write this review as always loved the place and the scampi and salad dish was the best we have had anywhere, not anymore. If things continue like this I think they will lose a lot of customers.

Visited the upstairs restaurant on a Friday evening, delicious fish and chips with mushy peas for myself, while my wife enjoyed her scampi and chips also with mushy peas. Very friendly waiting staff, will be back for certain on our next visit to Richmond.

Let's start with the positive - I have no complaints about the chips peas and gravy. Standard British chippy fayre fresh hot and tasty and would buy again.

After a long drive we didn't want to cook so decided on fish and chips. We paid for a takeaway but we're able to eat inside. The shop was clean and inviting and the staff pleasant and helpful. We had cod which was white and flakey with nice crisp batter. The peas and chips were also good. Would recommend this place.

Been here many times, not normally any major issues. However called in yesterday for a takeaway for me and my partner. We asked for a cod, spam fritter, chips to share, curry sauce and of course scraps. Bit of a wait after paying but don't mind that if food isn't fresh. First issue was i went over to counter just as the girl was finishing wrapping my order. Had to ask her to put on salt and vineger. She then finished wrapping and handed me my order. I had to ask her for the curry sauce and for scraps as she forgot.

We stopped by for lunch and the haddock fish and chips was really good. The chips we're also delicious . Well worth a stop if in Richmond.

Saw the shop when stopped over a few days ago and staying nearby. Returned to have haddock and chips. Cooked fresh. Chips excellent and fish thick and tasty. We ate in the shop. Nothing fancy but friendly service. We will return when next in the area heading north of the border.

After lots of very nice visits to this place we will never return. The small fish and chips has halved in size. We ordered 4 lots and a kids meal. On arrival one fish was clearly a lot smaller than the other 3. When we commented very discreetly we were made to feel foolish and embarrassed by the server as she was so loud the whole place could hear her. Awful customer service.

Famished after having a long day walking in the hills around Richmond, and not agreeing about where to go, we went to Barker`s. What a great move, because both the fish and the chips were cooked perfectly and all three of us enjoyed our meals. Without fear of exaggeration,and speaking for myself, they were the best fish and chips I`ve EVER eaten. Highly recommended.

Great fish and chips. Fish was cooked white we waited, standard size portion just right. Non-greasy delicious chips. Tasty chip shop curry sauce, sat on a bench outside in the early evening. Great end to a busy day.

Very good fish and chips. Can ask for fish lightly battered. Not greasy. Regular size is a big piece of fish and plenty for a lunch meal. It doesn’t get a 5 because fish and chips just seem like a meal one should eat daily. But for the food you get is quite good.

Recently visited this establishment after a recommendation from a colleague about the friendly staff especially a lady named Claire And lovely village . Ordered my food which took its time to made , got the order wrong to start and when addressed the manager had a cheek to say it was my mistake . A mean how hard can it be to get an order correct when not busy , won’t visit again due to rude and passive aggressive approach by the manager named Stacey . Safe to say won’t return and the food when eventually came wasn’t uoto much

This isn’t the first time we’ve enjoyed fish and chips here. It was excellently cooked with a light, healthy batter unlike the frequent offerings from other places. The cod was delicious - light and perfectly cooked.

Stopped here on a whim. Glad we did. Excellent service from Claire. I ordered cod and chips and my husband fish bites and chips. Both our meals were hearty portions. The batter and quality of fish superb and great chips! Thanks.

Possibly the worst chips I have ever tasted. This is not just my opinion, but everyone in our group. Dreadful.

It is a while since i ate in Barker's, but again we were not disappointed. The food was hot and delicious. The service was quick and very friendly. The views are lovely over the cobbled street, the old houses and the castle. The ambiance is so peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of eating in the cosy downstairs section of Barker’s Fish & Chips on a cold night in February. The staff, especially Claire & Ryan, were warm, welcoming, efficient and also very generous. I was in the middle of doing the coast to coast walk for Southmead Hospital charity and they both kindly sponsored me on the spot. The food was delicious and also very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Crap arrogant lack of service. This arrogant chip shop owner has now lost my custom at this shop and their other Richmond Fisheries shop which also refused round pound coins. Is the foolish owner incapable of working out that refusal to accept legal tender means loss of customers and loss of profit?

We popped in on a Monday night as all the pubs in the immediate area that we usually go to don’t open on a Monday We arrive at 5:30 opening time and were hardly greeted by Shannon We hadn’t booked, but she found us a table There was a lovely selection of beers and wines and an amazing menu with specials of the day On Mondays they do a night where you can get a sirloin steak for £12 with all the trimmings They also specialise in seafood and there were a number of dishes this included prawns lobsters, monkfish et cetera Who made soup of the day was courgette and sweet potato and this is delicious Between us, we had a steak and kidney pie and there’s also an option of a steak and kidney pudding and two of us had prawn and lobster Thermidor, which was delightful There is a very nice atmosphere in the restaurant. The staff are lovely and the toilets are clean. Thank you, Shannon to you and your colleagues and we very much look forward to our next physics

Ok for a coffee but the staff were terrified of any customers. Not allowed to use the toilet. Long wait for coffee. Shouted at to wear masks we were already wearing. Seemed paralysed by fear - I would avoid even trying to sit inside. They were happy for people to sit outside. Though it was raining hard. Such a shame as a delightful village and would have been a nice break from our walk.

Tried this lovely pub for the first time earlier this week with friends for an evening meal off the weekday menu. I had Scampi which was wholetail, light batter , served with the best chips I’ve had in ages . Others had chicken and burger, all were beautifully cooked and quality ingredients. Eaton Mess was spot on and the sticky toffee and custard had us drooling ! The atmosphere was what you’d want in a lovely cosy country inn, the owners were very friendly, service friendly and quick without feeling rushed. They also accommodated our 2 large dogs offering a nice treat and water. We loved it that much we’ve just returned from Sunday lunch !! Prawn cocktail starters were excellent, more prawn than salad 👍, soup, black pudding and bacon , all served with a warm crusty roll, all were very good. 3 of us had roast beef dinners and one roast pork - the veg was cooked perfectly, as were the mash and roast potatoes. Yorkshire pudding were just right. None of us could find space for a pudding but the menu has something for everyone. We shall most definitely return again.

Excellent place. Clearly this last year has new management as this was a very good experience for 10 of us for lunch en route to our long weekend in Leyburn. Cosy log fire. Welcoming hand pulled cask (theakstons) pulled properly. Food excellent so to the service. Kerb side from road hides a super set up from the back and inside.
