Deep Blue (Helmsley) in Ryedale

We have been to the Wetwang Deep Blue many times so decided to give the Helmsley shop a go. Very nice fish and chips. Very good service on a Monday night, split a fish so we both could have some. The app is worth downloading.

I’ve visited several times during the past three months (a recommendation in itself). The fish (I’ve tried both cod and haddock) Is always cooked to perfection, with lovely crispy batter. Good sized portions; excellent quality. Plus the staff always greet customers with a smile. However busy, Carole always delivers a very warm welcome.

Visiting North Yorkshire from Edinburgh and stumbled by Deep Blue in Helmsley and what a find, best chips ever, cooked the old fashioned way with beef drippings and fish bits they call them or batter bits as I used to know them many years ago, not creasy just perfect, crispy out side and soft in the middle perfect, thanks guys lovely and friendly service 11 out of 10 cheers Russ from Edinburgh

The food and the service was absolutely spot on. Best fish and chips we have had in the area and will definitely come back again.

Called in for fish and chips. When we placed our order we were told that we’d have a 30 minute wait as there was a big order to be ready for 7 pm. We said we’d wait but the lovely guy doing the frying overheard and said he’d fit us in with the big order… so we got our haddock and chips in about 5 minutes. Excellent friendly customer service and the best haddock and chips we’ve had in ages, cooked to perfection, no grease, crispy light batter and lovely chips. Fantastic!

Lovely fish and chips, we took out and ate them in the picnic areas near the car park. Really nice area of Helmsley, right in the town centre, staff were very friendly and efficient.

Helmsley Specials - cooked to order and after a wait due to a busy night, disappointing - the fish batter was good but the fish inside not heated sufficiently. The chips were overcooked and dark brown.

Went for a take away fish and chips. Ordering and service efficient. Fish was good. Chips were horrible. I have never had chips so badly cooked. They were dark brown hard to cut and chewy. They had a strange taste. I don’t think I have ever thrown chips in the bin but I did then.

We were stopping locally, and after a really busy day, we thought chips for teatime. Carole and Andy were just great, despite a slightly awkward order, nothing was too much trouble. Food was really nice and service was just great.

Visited today and the lady was above nice. The tea and coffee was brought out far to soon. So was cold when eating. The chips looked very nice until you cut one. Then very hard in middle. Then I went to toilet after out meal to find shock horror and the toilet pan was behold anything I'd seen in a restaurant it was brown in bottom and round the pan was brown and to be honest discussing. Had I been to the toilet before having our meal we would of left. The sanity bin I could of written my name in it. The door opens straight into restaurant and is a total health hazard. Unfortunately mother and I will not be returning. Shame there facilties let's it down with such horrendous toilets. I recommend that if you eat in this fish shop. You got to public toilets opposite as much clearer.

Just takeaway fish and chips. But excellent hot tasty chips and lovely battered cod. The mushy peas were hot and well seasoned. The fish white and flakey.

this will forever be my favourite fish and chip shop. However, this is my second time using the online ordering system and both times have we got our order on different time, late in fact by about 10-15 minutes. if i wanted it 10-15 minutes late id pick a later time, but i don’t i wanted it on the time i picked.

Been twice now, the 2nd to see if the first was a one off, it wasnt. Everything about the service was slow (not lady serving fault.

Good fish and chips Excellent friendly staff , especially the lady on the till . Really good opening times ,you can get something all day everyday pretty much

Spot on. Nice location. Fish and chips cooked to a turn. Well priced. Minimum fuss. Was there in mid 2022 but tripadvisor doesn't go that far back so put Nov 2022.

Really nice fish and chips. Shop was quiet so could see everything being cooked fresh to order. Best batter I've had in a long time, crisp but not greasy. Lovely chips and a nice portion of scraps. Not cheap but you get a very good sized portion of fish for the money and a ton of chips, enough that I could save some for the next day. Done properly in beef dripping which makes a huge difference. Lovely, will return next time I'm in Helmsley. Staff were really friendly too. Even staying patient and professional with the very rude customer in front of me.

On holiday staying in Hawton we had a takeaway here on two occasions each time the customer service was very good and the cod and chips were of good quality and priced well.

Came here a few weeks ago and they were scrappy and chips were dried up. I notified the company and got a voucher code to try again. We travelled 55 miles totalling 110 miles . the manager was very polite and said they would accept the voucher for £2o so I ordered a large cod and 2 hake meal deals for my son and hubby. when mine was put on the counter i opened it to put salt and vinegar on . I was shocked as it was very well done and scrappy. most of the batter was missing . I asked told the assistant and they said they would cook me a fresh one. After waiting a few minute i was given a fresh one and he said to take the other too as it would only be thrown out. When I got back to the car to eat it ,this also was just as bad as the other fish but it was also swimming in grease. my son and husbands were scrappy too and we threw most of them away as they were so bad. This is disappointing as we have been going there a couple of years now and until a few weeks ago i would have said they were the best ever. I don't know what has happened, maybe it has new owners in or new fryer but such a shame.

Possibley the worst fish and chips ever. Went for lunch today. Restaurant closed although signs on windows said it should be open. Ordered takeaway instead. The fish size was tiny. I think one fillet cut in two. The fish was overcooked and dry. The chips were clearly reheated and shrivelled so nothing left inside. They also tasted of stale fat. As I threw them away I mentioned how dreadful they were to the chap behind the counter and he just shrugged!!!

The gluten free fish and chips at this establishment are the best I’ve ever had…you would never know the difference, tasted absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone who has a gluten free diet, they are amazing. This was all topped off with extremely friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

What an amazing place, the lady behind the counter was so friendly and informative, such a pleasant experience. We had cod and chips and fishcakes, amazing

No regular cod available had to purchase large for extra but wasn’t what I would call large. Curry was delicious proper fish shop curry overall very nice meal.

Very good takeaway fish and chips, with excellent homemade tartare sauce. Good service given the length of the queue.

Great food . Fantastic quality. Hake and Chips served by a lovely lady called Carol . Thank you for all your local knowledge of the area . The fish and Chips was absolutely mouthwatering.service with a smile too .

Excellent fish and chips. Good portions. Tasty fish with pure white flesh. Just enough crisp batter to make it a sensual experience.

Called into this fish and chip shop on our way home. They were beautiful and served by an insanely pleasant lady. Thank you.

Gave it another try after disappointing fish n chips,in the past .They were outstanding about 2 weeks ago (gluten free)and normal.Went again tonight ,oh! dear what rubbish ,the normal helping ,the fish was ok ,the chips terrible .The gluten free portion ,the fish batter was uncooked on the inside and very well ,to being dark in colour on the outside .The chips ,looked as though many of the potatoes had been black and I would have thrown away .Also as though they were warmed up .Reading other reviews ,seems it`s hit and miss.That`s it for us though ,had so many BAD portions .No more wasting money .

OMG cod & chips were amazing!! In fact, I'll go so far as to say these were the best fish & chips I've ever had!! It looked as though the items had been left in the fryer a little longer, which made the batter a rich golden colour, crispy and absolutely no sogginess. The chips were chunky, golden and actually tasted of potato!! Many thanks to server Carole & fryer Ken.

Fabulous fish and chips. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and were very helpful on my visit. Highly recommended!

We had a takeaway and the gluten free offer was outstanding. I rarely have fish and chips as a diagnosed coeliac but there was a good variety to choose from. Everything was separately packaged and clearly marked as gluten free and the food itself was...

Stopping in the nearby hostel my daughter and I didn't feel like cooking so we walked into town and popped in. A few people were waiting for their orders to be cooked. This didn't phase as a) it's cooked to order so it's fresh and...

Excellent service and friendly staff gave me discount with my blue light card, nice fish and chips.

The old woman serving was in a hurry to close, it was 6.55pm , I asked for peas or beans and she did I'm not staying another 20 minutes to come them in a very rude manner, the sausage made me husband ill, will never...

Never actually got any fish and chips so can't rate them. The service or lack of it was terrible. I waited several minutes for someone to come and serve. I gave up waiting and left. Wouldn't ever go here again.

Large portions of fish, not overwhelmed by too many chips, and EXCELLENT homemade tatare sauce. (The sit-in restaurant was closed when we visited.)

Excellent fish and chips and scrapes served by new comer Archie ( first night, well done lad) and the wonderful Carole who is always very friendly and happy, well done all. jacki

Worst fish and chips I’ve experienced in a long time , very small portions, the kids portion was bigger than the adults . Service poor, front of shop staff couldn’t be bothered just because it was 6.30 and they close at 7 people were coming...

Terribly over rated, staff are so incredibly sickly nice & the place was a little on the grubby side. Cooks walking through restaurant in filthy clothes covered in batter drips. Steak pie was ordered by myself & my wife, when it came it resembled a...

Popped in here for an impromptu fish and chips. Disappointed and in truth the owners should be aware that the standards aren’t that good. Ordered a large cod which wasn’t in any way large. (over) cooked to order so that it had become tough and...

Living in East Yorkshire I am familiar with Blue Atlantic and they have a particular good and busy fish shop in Wetwang. I had eaten previously in there in 2018. But this recent visit will be the last time. Despite it being a busy day...

Had cod and chips for 2 on Friday. Carol and Sophie were the duty team. I doubt you would get better anywhere. Well done ladies brilliant fish and chips!

Great food! Coming from somebody who can't eat gluten anymore, this was a rare treat - gluten-free fish and chips that actually tasted as good as (if not better) than the real thing! Great service and extremely friendly staff and helpful staff. Would 100% recommend...

Visited yesterday party of 4 and sat in the restaurant/ cafe. I've got to say it was the best fish and chips I've had in a long time. The chap that served us was great and very helpful. It's going to be somewhere we visit...

We called in for lunch on a freezing cold December afternoon , really pleased we did very good fish and chips , and great service as well

Fish cooked to order, so nice and fresh, with proper chips. Excellent customer service by Carol, who is always cheerful and chatty. Highly recommended by the locals.

Have visited this fish and chip restaurant a number of times in the last year, and the food is always brilliant. We've ordered online the last two times, which is easy to do and saves queuing. Carole and Ken are always friendly and welcoming.

Visited for lunchtime fish and chips. First class service from Carole, and Sophie. Excellent quality fish and chips, provided by competent, polite staff.

Ken and Carole were very friendly and welcoming , and gave us the best fish & chip meal at a really reasonable price , especially considering their costs must be going up like everyone elses these days. If our holiday had been even longer we...

One of the best fish and chips I've ever had, the fish was absolutely amazing the chips are top quality, me and my daughter went there for lunch and absolutely loved it, the service by Carole was a top class and Ken definately know how...

Not happy. Ordered 3 of the kids fish and chips and one was quite clearly smaller than the other 2 portions yet charged the same. Curry sauce was good but fish and chips average.

No Haddock available today, so COD it was, I went for the small fish and chips, probably a 4/5oz hand cut, skinned and boned with chips and mushy peas. I have had better and I rate them 5.5 out of 10, each to your own...

We've been here many times, foods good and the service is too. Carol is really lovely, she let us try hake for the first time with a free hake fish bite. 5 star.

My husband and I called here for takeaway during a recent holiday. Due to my husband being coeliac, we phoned ahead and checked that gluten free was available, and were told it was always available. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly making sure my...

Lovely fish and chips, sat outside with dog after long drive here. Good service and value for money.

Excellent service - very helpful and friendly staff and the homemade fish cakes are to die for! Recommend using online booking service - quick, easy and efficient.

Delightful service, absolutely went out of her way to help us and the people before us. Fish and chips cooked to perfection and bountiful servings. Many thanks

Excellent Wife says it was the best gluten free fish and chips she’s ever had. The non GF was excellent too. Would definitely recommend

Lovely lunch today. Carol was very friendly and welcoming throughout our time in the restaurant making sure everything was good. Lovely fish and chips and our son loved his sausage and chips and ice-cream. Will definitely be going back when we're next in Helmsley.

The chips were amazing (we didn't have the fish).. Michelin star standard , probably triple fried . Chrisp on rhe outside and fluffy on the inside . Amazing quality for a take away fish and chip.shop !!!!

Our evening collection order were 2 large cod at £6.99 each chips and peas. Plenty of chips although very soggy and mushy peas which were excellent. The let down were the fish. Our large cod were 2 very small cod placed side by side and...

We had cod and chips last night from here as tourists to the area and couldn't fault them. Some of the nicest and freshest we've had. We'd definitely recommend and have again.

We ate our fish and chips in the attached restaurant area. Our welcome was warm and friendly. The whole place was spotlessly clean and COVID secure. We were over 60 so took advantage of the over 60s special deal, very good value and excellent quality....

We live a few miles away and this is our go to chippy. Really good staff. Take away is nicely wrapped in cardboard box and paper bag. Fish really good and decent chips .

The fish though small was ok tasted nice. But the chips were terrible. These smelt and tasted awful. Like they’d been cooked in old fat. We threw them away. They were old wizened chips. Looked like chips cooked again and again. Tasted foul. This was...

Ordered online for collection, the order was ready for the time specified. The fish and chips were cooked to perfection. The cod didn't have too much batter either which was great. Scampi again was perfect and you had a lot of scampi pieces. Chips were...

£6 each for fish, chips and mushy peas to take away. Fish was good, nice and hot. Overall really enjoyable takeaway and you can order online!

After 12 years of being allergic to wheat, I get very excited when you find a gluten free option that is as good as the ‘normal’ meal. Having seen gluten free options available in the window we went in the restaurant. After speaking to the...

A perfect way to finish off our trip to Helmsley. They were recommended to us by a local and we absolutely loved it. Perfectly cooked fish crispy and golden as it should and not too oily and soggy at all. We had a baby and...

Having visited this Fish and Chip shop in August and feeling the need to complain to the group about staff attitude, customer service and quality of food I gratefully received a voucher to cover the cost of the chips (to take away). I revisited the...

Visiting with my family on a Sunday lunchtime, restaurant was dirty, the floor was so greasy you could slide on it. Holes in the walls and fixtures and fittings falling to bits. The cleaning rota for the toilets was filled in for the full day...

Amazing Gluten free fish and chips This is by far my favourite fish and chip shop, being gluten free it is absolutely amazing the staff are so helpful and dedicated. I can strongly recommend the onion rings too made fresh they are lovely!

Pre ordered a large order for a group 18 friends. Soon as I turned up it was all prepared on bags on the hot counter. Everything was individually wrapped and labelled for ease. The staff then helped carry it to the car. Carole Tom and...

Highly recommend this the chips were so tasty and hot. Well presented. Can pay easily by card contactless.

Stopped to pick up fish and chips and scampi on way to a holiday cottage. Just lovely after a long journey. For visitors, the takeaway is not on the main road rather the lane around the back. Order then wait outside to ensure distancing

Went for fish and chips for the family when I got there I asked them if we could have one gluten free fish and chips the young lad said they had just turned the fryer off but they would put it back on for the...

Very good (not exceptional) fish and chips. Good chunks of cod/haddock, succulent chips, decent value (four regular fish and chips about £25). Not a 5 simply becuase I've had better

Food and service was spot on, the chips were something special, give it a go, you won't be dissapointed...
