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 visit here was excellent I ate in the upstairs restaurant on a Friday teatime. 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. The owners really need to read the reviews they are getting because of this was my business, I was be embarrassed and ashamed.

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.

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.

A visit to England isn't complete without a stop at a real Fish & Chips shop. Barker's is a lovely place and the staff very friendly. Tasty food!

The title nearly tells it all, the upstairs cafe serves well-cooked food in a pleasant atmosphere with excellent friendly service. And the price isn't bad either...what more can you want?

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 decided to go into Richmond to get some fish and chips after a 3 and half hour drive to our holiday cottage which is just up the road me and my partner had fish and chips but when we got them back to the cottage to eat then we’ll I’ve never had fish and chips like this before the oil which they were cooked in was disgusting the fish was dry I was really looking forward to these but I’m sorry to say that I’ll never be having fish and chips again for a long while

We purchased battered sausage & chips for 3 people to takeaway. Being around 3:30 it wasn't busy so didn't take long, after getting back to Catterick Garrison I know why!! The chips were so golden, if they had been fried any longer they would have snapped in half, you could see/taste they had been old chips re-fried as they tasted terrible & left an awful aftertaste. Really disappointed & will not be using this fish & chip shop again.

I'll let the picture speak for itself - large cod and chips - absolutely inedible. The fish looked and tasted vile and the chips couldn't even be salvaged as they were so greasy. A complete waste of £14.

We had a lovely day out pondering the shops and walking by the river, this is the first time I have had chip shop lunch here, I have to say that the chips and curry were lovely and eating in the market place was nice but the service lets the place down and the cleanliness was shocking, the staff were totally unprofessional barking at each other behind the counter and the counter was the worst I have ever seen full of fat scraps salt and vinegar, leaving a terrible impression and I am sure putting people off returning, the product is excellent if the other things could be sorted this would get top stars

We visited Richmond on one of the few sunny days this summer and decided to have take away fish and chips. They were the best fish and chips we have had for ages. The fish was tasty and a good portion and the chips were crispy and also a good portion.

Went into the upstairs restaurant area and ordered fish and chips, steak pie and chips plus a pot of tea for two. The drinks arrived promptly but after thirty minutes of waiting I enquired as to where the food was. It turned out that the order hadn't been picked up by the food preparers. Now this in itself is not good but what vexed me is that the staff did not check for themselves as to why there was no sign of the order.We were the only two people in the whole place so they were not busy. The gentleman did apologise and explained what had happened and told us they could rustle the order up in about ten to fifteen minutes which would have meant we would have been waiting an hour for the food.We said we would just go and we paid for the two teas, which I would not have bought if I'd have known we would not be getting the food in a reasonable time.I do understand that mistakes happen but when the place was so quiet, I cannot understand why the staff did not take it upon themselves to check what was happening.Proactive service is what sets good establishments apart from those where customers are merely a commodity and we felt let down by this experience

2 hungry cyclists after riding the hills. We ordered pie and mash with extra gravy and it went down a treat. The food was standard but good pub grub. However the best part about the experience was the friendliness of the staff, from bar staff, the waitress, the chef and the landlord. Everyone made time to chat with us and make us feel welcome. I’m looking forward to my next visit!

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.
