Dicky Bees Fish & Chips in Scarborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Edit - Always difficult to match previous excellence but the new owners have done it. This is still the best fish and chip shop in Filey. The food is perfectly cooked. Brown's is a close second but the rest are pretty poor. I've tried all of them.

Disappointing visit compared to glory days. The portion size was small, compared to what you get in the North East for a similar price. The fish was thin, but well cooked. The chips were brown, rather than golden; and not at all crisp and fluffy, more greasy and limp. Again portion size very small, less than 1/3 of a North East portion. However, the biggest issue was the curry sauce was very disappointing, there was a large congealed lump in the middle, not sure if it was a skin from a cold pot or a lump formed by not stirring in the sauce powder properly. We did not complain given we had walked to the seafront to eat and the shop would be closed by time we walked back. Sorry no return visit.

Went in today 19th July for haddock and chips for my husband and myself. Best fish and chips ever meaty tasty fish. Ate up on country park even better lol.

Thank you for serving me after time. You only had 1 haddock and chips which me and my hubby shared. They were very tasty. The sausages too

I have had the pleasure of having fish and chips from Alex and Cheri from a previous shop they had in Halifax. Recently called in to Dicky Bees and they are still the same quality and freshness, if not better! Definitely a must visit if you're visiting Filey any time soon.

Best fish and chips I've had for a long time. Had some before from here (before new management) but these were 100% better than before! Give it a try, you won't be dissapointed.

We called in earlier today (Saturday 6th July) and the fish and chips were absolutely delicious 😋. The fish was as white as snow and the chips had some colour, not like anemic chips that some chippies serve. The Chinese curry was very tasty too. The staff and owner were extremely friendly and chatty, which is great. Highly recommend. We'll definitely be back 😋

We came on Thursday and had fish and chips and a fish and yorkshire fish cake. There was a que but got served quickly. The food was to an excellent standard. Will be making this our regular. Well done to the new owners and staff.

Been three times this week, since the new owners took over it’s back to being the best in Filey, chips are perfect, massive portions and cheap! Highly recommended

If your not a regular custmer, you dont know where to stand, ie place ur order or just stand there, chips over cooked, fish very greasy n over cooked, was asked for salt n vinager said yes plz, but had to ask again as she dident put it on, not good

New owners so I thought I’d give them a try. Unfortunately the quality wasn’t great. The chips were very well done and the batter on the fish was very dry and very greasy. The fish had been cooked to order but was very overdone inside the batter. I’ll stick with my regular shop in the future. Such a shame as it’s very near to where I live.

Best fish and chips I've had in a very long time. I ordered a small fish and chips as I was due to go for a curry in a couple of hours. The fish was pure white, very fresh and glistening with moisture, having been steamed in its crisp light batter coating. The chips were soft and brown not crispy and tasted slightly sweet for being fried in beef dripping. If I lived in Filey, it would be once a week for me.

Waited for 15 minutes for chips. When I opened them they were overcooked and mostly fragments so goodness knows what they'd been doing. Batter was very fatty. Fish was nice but the rest was very poor. Not sure how they survive in a seaside town when their food is so poor.

Worst fish and chips I have ever had heard this place supposed to be nice where do I start worse chips I have had in 50 years tasteless chips and the oil is burnt disgusting chips how could you feed these to your kids even the dog wouldn’t eat them the fish was totally burnt spent 20 pound and couldn’t eat them not a happy customer

The worst fish and chips I’ve ever had! Visiting family as a southerner I’d expect a seaside town to have a decent go at fish and chips, but my god, I was disappointed. The oil was clearly old, the portions were the meanest I’ve ever seen and the chips were burnt and awful tasting. To top it off I found some micro plastic in my fish. Avoid this place like the plague.

BEST CHIP SHOP ON EAST COAST. NOTHING COMES NEAR IT. BIG UP DICKY BEES. Proper old school curry sauce, impeccable fish. N a lovely set of ladies behind counter.

Visiting Filey and wandering past here and a lady passers-by said best in Filey so we gave it a try.OMG not disappointed. Cod,chips and peas absolutely brilliant, really worth a try people 😀

I enjoyed my food from here this evening, will definitely return when in the area.

The best fish shop in town by far! The other day I’d lost my money and they let me pay the next time I was in thanks guys keep up the good work

Take away: Fish and chips are very good though the chips can be a bit hard. If you like good fish & chips in Filey, come here - much better than some of the other places.

Great fish and chips 😋 clean and well presented highly recommended

Thought we’d try some where new from normal places. Fish and chips is subjective and one man likes crispy golden batter and another likes it soft and greasy. Food didn’t work me here. A very dark batter, a thin fish and heart sunk when the skin was still on. No curry sauce, so went with gravy but too runny for me(great for others perhaps). Freshly cooked to order, friendly staffs and reasonable pricing.

Best fish and chips in Filey , yum yum !

Visiting on holiday and was looking for a nice chippy. Cod was really nice and the chips were cooked lovely, gravy and curry sauce really tasty too. Will definitely go back before we go home 😀

We called in at lunchtime today with our adult autistic son. He had googled 'Dicky Bees' and was excited to eat in their café. When we arrived we found that the cafe was closed. The staff saw our sons distress and were kindness itself. They opened a safe place for him to eat his ( rather delicious) food, and totally made our day. We cannot recommend Dicky Bees enough. Yummy food and outstanding service! We will be back! 😊

Ordered food fish was lovely but when we got back to our caravan we had missing curry sauce

Great fish n chips in Filey and puts our local Wetherby Whaler in York to shame!

Best fish and chips in the world. Crispy, perfectly cooked batter and fresh fish, all served in a lovely friendly atmosphere.

Last time visited fish & chips were fab..this time not as good.

Called here this lunchtime for fish and chips to eat by the sea. Lovely friendly staff. Great deal, Haddock, chips and peas in a box £6.70 each and a sausage for the dogs. It was all fresh out of the fryer and very very good. Would definitely recommend 😊

An excellent and friendly service and delious food

First class fish n chips cooked to order. Fresh fish in good crispy batter. Friendly staff. What more could you want.

Best chippy iv ever had lovely staff everything cooked fresh to order

Best fish and chips, not greasy at all. Lovely folks as well, nothing too much trouble. Will definitely be back

Updated. Still the best, freshly cooked, not over priced like some others. Shop smells clean and not grease like some others. Just can't praise Dickys enough Best fish and chips in Filey

Best chippy I've tried in Filey over the years. Very consistent with their quality. Haddock is always fresh, full of flavour and tender. The chips are golden and fully edible, unlike some of the other chippies in Filey that have inedible black manky bits, forcing you bin more than you eat. Wish they were open more often and for longer...

Fish chips and curry sauce all lovely

Really nice fish and chips gravy was really tasty only thing didn't get enough chips

Up there with the best haddock and chips I've ever had. Batter was perfect

nice chippy offering very good fish and chips plus other products you would expect to find in a chip shop

Nice, freshly cooked fish and chips. I asked for salt and vinegar but for my taste they were over salted. Not the best fish and chips I've ever had but certainly not the worst and a long way from the most expensive. I would go back (but I'd ask them to go easy on the salt)

Really good fish and chips - our favourite in Filey, or anywhere for that matter.

We love this chippy - beautiful fish, chips and mushy peas with a lovely, tiny cafe at the back. Great value for money.

The fish and chips are lovely..

At 30+30 something of age, my wife and I will only have cod and chips from Dicky Bees, you have to wait a short while for your fish to be cooked but well worth it, the service and staff are second to none. Tom and sue Richardson from York

Not used dripping for years and forgotten how greasy it tastes and what it does to the food. A shame as it was good quality fish.

Excellent. Best fish ever. Been having fish and chips here on every trp to Filey. I must say the only change is the size of the fish you get....but that's understandable in this day and age. This fish and I must say chips are 5 * constantly. Staff are always pleasant.

Very tasty however curry sauce was not as I expected,

Stopped in the Haven caravan site, drived over here after reading bad reviews of the on site shop. Ok / Good, £5 a fish, £2 a portion of chips. Fish might not be everyone's favourite, but edible and not tourist priced as such.

FANTASTIC!! best fish and chips in Filey! Couldn't have enjoyed it more! Soft moist fresh fish, the tastiest batter and chips that had flavour and properly cooked! Great peas too by the way! Remember it's cash only ☀️👍

Best chippy in Filey for us. You know it's good when you see a queue of locals outside every time they open.

Been visiting this fish shop for over 40 years and still as good,staff always friendly and helpful,shop always extremely clean. EXCELLENT.

Fantastic fish and chips but not open many days of the week ashame because we will be going for 3 nights to filey and it isn't open any of those days disappointed

Fi and chi. What more can I say?

Chips were okay. We had a haddock which was very greasy but the fish itself tasted alright without the batter. The pattie was extremely greasy. Mushy peas wasn't good at all and didn't taste much.

Don't have a pie rock hard crust very poor ,small portions of chip s and had to wait ages not sure why after tasting the food .Tried it once would not go again generous with a 1 sorry don't usually post but not happy here .My son s battered sausage looked way overdone will go around the corner next time very disappointing as thought it was going to be good 👎👎👎

Delicious fish and chips as usual ,that's why we always go there when on the east coast .👍👍

Came to this beautiful chippy yesterday evening after leaving Scarborough, and omg the fish was amazing, the curry sauce was beautiful. The staff are so pleasant and lovely. Thank you so much. Definitely highly recommend and will definitely be going back.

Lovely meal, not greasy at all. Plenty for 2 in a large portion. Never had a bad meal here yet.

Got to be the best chippies around :)

Gorgeous fish n chips but they forgot our bread bun n bits x

Just had the worse meal ever from this place ,was served held overcooked sausage must have been held for hours,same as the chips and the gravy tastes like frozen fish what a waste of money,just because you wrap it before the customer sees it does not mean you should not serve fresh

Lovely food, lovely friendly service.

Decent fish and chips, portions weren't huge but staff were helpful, we requested the fish skin removed & no problem at all.

Lovely fish , best batter I've tasted in a while

Food freshly cooked so very hot (a good job as I had a fair walk to Filey Brigg Car Park) and still hot when I got there.

Lovely fish and chips. An organised system for ordering and collecting.

Stayed in filey for a couple of days last week and went to Dicky Bees. OMG the best chips I've have had from a chippy in a long long time. Superb!!

Amazing. Delicious. Fresh!!! .. Really nice fish &chips x

Only had chips but they were perfect. Would imagine rest of food would dicky bee the same good standard.

Great, tasty, fresh fish and chips, highly recommended.

Overpriced, fish was wafer thin, too much batter, over cooked, slow service, but servers pleasant. Won't return.

That was the best fish and chips I ever had! Well done Dickie Bees!

Very nice fish and chips. Fish still had skin on if that bothers anyone.

Went to some trouble to visit the place and was disappointed. Chips were fine but the fish was grossly overcooked and underneath the crocodile skin batter was a small fish finger sized piece of fish.. Coble landing next time.

Lovely food and lovely ladies :)

Really disappointed this time round was great last year when we visited. Fish was overcooked as were the chips very dry even tho i have a lot of vinegar usually on them... should of gone to brown rooms

Great fish n chips excellent customer service

Had to wait for 20 plus minutes. Haddock and chips twice 1 x small peas 1x small gravy. Cost £14.60. After 10 minutes of looking at the menu..not much else to do, whilst waiting, I realised I should've been charged £11.20. I queried this. I was told in no uncertain terms 'It's right!!!'. It wasn't but for £3 I wasn't going to argue in the street. The fish and chips were excellent if you like proper traditional fish and chips. The fish quality was superb. I found the beef dripping too fatty. I also didn't like the skin on the fish, but I appreciate this was top quality traditional fish and chips.

Excellent Haddock and chips. As others have said cooked fresh to order. Lovely brown chips. Chrunchy batter on the fish. Friendly service. All covid safe. Will definitely be going back.

An excellent portion of cod and chips and served with great organisation especially considering the current predicament of covid. Excellent batter, and great chips 👍

Nice food, efficient service. No card payments though.

Lovely fish n chips thankyou 👍 From Tracey & Vicky Ambulance Services xx

Placed a order had to wait 20 mins fish was over cooked and hard need to get a move on serving people so food isn't over done

Lovely fish and the chips are done just how I like them.

Beautiful fish and chips and good size portion

On holiday and wanting food that we could eat sitting in the car watching the sea. Very impressed with this outlet. Clean, well managed and doing well with their Covid19 processes. Service was good and most important the fish and chips were excellent. Thanks. Lovely meal.

We wanted takeaway fish and chips one evening while staying in Filey for a few days. There are so many places that we used Google and saw Dicky B's had the highest rating. After eating them we understand why and can say they were some of the best fish and chips we've ever had. Cooked fresh to order and in beef dripping the batter on the lovely fresh haddock was a crispy deep golden brown and the chips were properly good not pale and anaemic. Get there early because they close at 6.30pm.

This is far and away the best - head and shoulders above all the rest. Everything is cooked to order, so don't expect a quick in and out, but the wait is definitely worth it. Wonderful crisp golden batter filled with moist, beautifully cooked fish. Add to this the fresh cook BROWN chips- none of your anemic chalk sticks here - and you have perfection. Everything on the menu is prepared and cooked to the highest quality. Keep it up ladies!!!

Beautiful fish n chips. Highly recommended

Lovely fish and chips will call there again next time in Filey

Great fish bar. Freshly cooked, freshly caught fish and chips just out of the fryer. 5 full tummies and a perfect end to a day building sand castles. Good value as well.

Proper fish'n'chips! They use dripping to fry in! Awesome. Super crispy chips! The fish cakes are made from proper fish not the horrible paste fish you get in supermarkets. Totally recommend.

Local's chip shop, that's all you need to know. Beef dripping fried fish and chips!

We had a chip butties with mushy peas. Chip butties were delicious, proper chips lovely and brown, not greasy or pale. Mushy peas were nice too. I could have done with a bigger portion as it was so nice. We are regular visitors to Filey but haven't been here before however we will definitely be returning on our next visit.

Best fish & chips in Yorkshire.

Always good.very rare it isn't.

Probably the best fish and cips in the world

Great food and everything cooked fresh

Fish chips excellent really nice big haddock chips melted in your mouth only thing didn't like was curry sauce bit to sweet for me .
