Dicky Bee's in Scarborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great takeaway fish chips, beautiful fish ordered well done by phone and ready to collect. Fish was large, blakey, tasty beautiful.

Best fish n chips in Filey if not North Yorkshire. We ordered cod ( my wife is allergic to haddock)and chips to take away. The fish had all the skin removed and was cooked to perfection. Best tasting fish n chips we’ve had for a long time . Cooked in beef dripping I thing Perfect!!

This fish and chip shop has been recently taken over. As residents in Filey, we were keen to offer business again, after the former Dicky Bees recently closed down. But oh my, what a disappointment... Flat fish (but nice batter!), a miserable portion of soggy chips, and packet curry sauce (made badly) with HUGE lumps of powdered gunge, and so salty and concentrated that it was inedible. What really finished it off was that the poor guy in front of us bought a huge amount of food, yet had to ask for a bag to take it away. Just why??? The woman serving seemed like she had lost the will to live. Not a great start for a business just starting, and we were less than impressed with every aspect. We won't be back - ever!

Long wait, strange ordering system. Although fish was cooked to order the batter was dark and overcooked.

My fav is Cod&chips...i am mega fussy but these are THE best ever!! We travel over 2 hours for a long weekend away but it has to include a Dicky Bees!!

Excellent fish and chips. The batter was crisp and the fish was very fresh and flaked beautifully. Everything was cooked to order. Would definitely visit again!

A party of 10 friends descended on Filey on Friday evening. Having frequented Dicky Bees as a child, a significant number of years ago I suggested the gang had Fish and Chips from here. We rang first to make sure they could fulfil a large order so close to closing time, to be told that we could ring our order back through to them once we had decided and it would be ready for us when we wanted to collect at 6.15. We were on the doorstep at 6.10 and the very friendly ladies were ready to bag it up for us, with lots of smiles and plenty of laughs. Everyone in the group thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The haddock, chips, peas and curry sauce (don't knock the peas and curry combo til you've tried it, it's a taste sensation) were exceptional, just like I remembered.

We came here just before closing, the lady checked and had some fish left. This put me off slightly but how wrong was i, cod and chips absolutely beautiful, one of the best iv had up YORKSHIRE. And if the owner is reading this, give them girls a pay rise, they work really hard and are a credit to your business.

Went here, on a recommendation from a leaflet left in The Bay, at Filey accommodation.We had 4 pieces of fish x 2 large chips and two sausages for the children. Utterly vile, overdone to the point of nearly being burnt (everything). Fish was dry, and greasy at the same time, which I would of thought. Would of been difficult to acheive.There is a fish and chip shop near Boots on a corner, the fish there was lovely, that I had earlier in the week, should of returned instead of going to Dicky Bees. Also no one is allowed to go in the shop but is issued with a raffle ticket to stand on the pavement for a considerable length of time while it is being cremated. Go elsewhere.

we thought we would try Dicky Bees seemed popular with the locals , we did ask for lightly battered fish but they were over cooked and so were the chips to our liking ,could not complain at the price. would go again but ask them not to over cook it may be it was because they were busy

Absolutely beautiful fish and chips! Thought we would try this place as we are regular visitors to Filey, and it did not disappoint. We will definitely be returning on our next visit.

Four of us enjoyed Haddock and chips here as a takeaway. Food is all cooked to order and appeared very popular with locals as much as visitors. Portions are decent and prices cheaper than seafront restaurants. Happy to recommend this chippy to others staying in or visiting Filey.

Cooked in the traditional way! Only place that still makes proper fishcakes - 2 potato slices with fish in between and not that processed mushed up nonsense from a freezer! Even my older parents agreed it was the best they had. Also, very fair prices.

We visited Filey this evening and got fish and chips from Dicky Bees. I had haddock and chips, my husband has cod and chips. We both agreed they were the best fish and chips we've had for years. Such great quality and good sized portions. Non greasy chips and succulent fish in light batter. We will definitely be returning

we have been using dicky bees for near on 40 years when on holiday , the fish and chips was as usual excellent . the service was more than poor tbf. people queing down the street waiting for there number to be called and nobody could hear her ?? 40 min wait which i wasnt informed about upon ordering

Excellent Haddock, chips and curry sauce. Efficient, friendly covid safe service. Fish excellent quality with crispy batter. Chips lovely brown colour not those pale things you get in most places. Will definitely be going back.

It’s was a busy day in Filey so we went off the beaten track to this place as we thought it would be quieter (it was) and we’ve always enjoyed it here. Queuing system works great, got good promptly and the Cod was great but the chips were overdone and disappointing. As a previous review said plenty of them but would have preferred more quality and less quantity.

We had cod and chips takeaway. No issue at all with the fish. The cod was tasty and a good size and the batter was nice and crisp. The chips were something of a disappointment. True there was plenty of them, too many in fact, but they tasted greasy and a little soggy. One or two of them were quite raw. I would much have preferred better quality and smaller quantity. By no means terrible but not a meal to get excited about.

Our first visit but sadly disappointing. Considering the fish is cooked to order the batter was very thin which meant the fish was very over cooked making it very dry. Fish size is good but batter needs to be more fluffy. Chips tasted good but portion consisted of not many decent sized chips and lots of scraps. Will stick with Ingham’s and the Brown room in future as they are better quality.

We've been going to Dicky Bee's for years now. We always try to stop there for dinner en route to our holiday destination and we've never been let down. There is a tiny cafe at the rear of the shop, where we sit and relax. The fish and chips are gorgeous, tasty, crunch batter - not too crunchy though - succulent fish and the mushy peas are perfect. Very reasonably priced and the staff are always lovely. Highly recommend this superb local chippie.

We always buy our fish and chips from Dicky's Bee's, the chips are dry no grease on them, very good size portion plenty to go around. The fish is really tasty, no bones very good size. If you go on Friday evening you will need to order your food. First class.

We usually eat here when visiting Filey Not the best meal I have had here Chips dry Fish overcooked Disappointed

I have had fish and chips everywhere - as Im sure we all have. But all I can say is that these are the best ever! Expert batter, timing and temperature accounts for this. Its a must place for me whenever I visit filey -

Following recommendations we found this little gem in the back streets. Opened since 1932 (good start) this lovely tradicional chippy has a little extension built at the back for “eating in”. With 4 tables and a capacity for 12 people it’s just great. We came with children and it was FREEZING outside so the sitting in area was just what we needed. The staff were really friendly. The fish... well... yum! Crispy batter, delicious cod. It comes with mushy peas a pot tea and buttered bread included in the price . What a lovely touch. The children’s portions were also huge, my boys had fish goujons which, really, they were just smaller versions of our adult meals. I can not fault it. Served with a smile. Do not hesitate to come here. It’s a gem.

Visited this little chippy earlier this week. What an amazing find. The food was cooked to order and tasted lovely. This is a true fish and chip shop hence why it closes at 1.30pm. No need to stay open all day to attract the tourists. Believe me the tourists will work around the opening times once the food has been tasted.Got to say the 3 ladies that were working the day I went were amazing. So friendly and helpful. Thank you for the parking advice. Will defo be visiting again!

Just had fish and chips and scraps, delicious. My husband and I shared, there was more than enough. Rate this place 100 per cent. I know where we will be heading next time.

After trying all the other chippys in the area this one is THE BEST BY FAR !!! Whenever we are in the area we always head for this one. Cooked fresh to perfection, while you wait, You can order a small fish n chips for £4 and you still get more then enough !! Their small is what you get at other chippys for large !!. and they charge twice the price.Excellent value for money ...well worth a visit If you don't want takeaway they also have a small cafe where you can eat and have a cuppa too.

Best fish and chips around the area. My family always buy fish and chips from here when they come to visit me from North East.

Had a portion of chips as they smelt lovely when walking past but very disappointed, they were very brown and tasted very fatty as though the fat wasn't hot enough before putting potatoes in.Sorry for the bad review but I had to throw them away

Was at filey from the 18th feb until 22nd on tuesday i decided to try the fish and chips here,the staff were lovely! but what a sad effort of fish and chips i was given,chips were fine but if you like mushy dark brown batter with no crunch on your fish come here.two days later went too the brown room and what a difference fish batter etc was soo much nicer! sorry for this bad review but its what happened to me!!

Long established fish and chip shop with many local people call here along with many holiday makers time after time. Best chippy in Filey. Enjoy

Asked a local which is the best bif & fips in filey and she said Dicky Bees .She was so right cooked to order 12 suppers perfect for a family meal would feed twenty.

Large tasty fish and chips, eat in or take out. We ate in, fish, chips, peas or curry, bread and butter with tea or coffee £8.20 each, worth every penny 😋 enjoy

Absolutely Perfect. My Husband and I love Filey. We've tried the rest, now try The Best. A good old fashioned fish and chip shop. Staff Excellent, and so friendly. Thankyou

4 of us visited after playing golf. Sat in the cafe section at the rear of the shop. Service was good, the Fish & Chips were cooked to order.

Had takeaway fish and chips. Very busy but didn't have to wait too long due to the efficient staff. Fish is cooked to order, which is delicious. The cafe isn't open on a Friday teatime as they have found it it too busy with takeaways

One of the best chippy you will find, this is a long established chippy with the locals and holiday makers. Enjoy

Popped in at "rush hour" just before closing. All orders cooked fresh, fish & chipe werre superb . Highly recommended.

Called in here for tea after a day on the beach. Haddock and chips cooked to order delicious! Would definitely call again

Fixh and chips for tea is an always at the east coast and even more so when camping. Havent had them here before so thought i would try them. They were ok but hot. The skin is left on the fish and the fish wasnt very big. I wish i had known that boxes were available as easier is carry. All in all i wouldnt choose here again had far better in filey

I love Dickie Bee's and always visit when we visit our flat. However this time I used the restaurant part instead of taking them home and asked for Tar Tar sauce, It was revolting and spoilt my fish. It tasted flowery for want of a better word. Take your own sauce and take your food home. WILL VISIT AGAIN.

As usual the fish and chips were brilliant, however I asked for Tar Tar sauce and it was awful! I did complain but the member of staff just looked at me. I will go again but will not have their brand of sauce.

Old fashioned, small fish shop cafe with no frills, but excellent haddock and chips (not to mention mushy peas or curry sauce) freshly cooked and served with a warm welcome. Cannot be beaten at any price.

Just fancied fish and chip supper was a little disappointed fish seemed a bit over cooked chips where average.

I read several reviews and thought it would be a good chippy. No, no it was awful. The only saving grace was the real chips cooked in beef dripping.

Freshly cooked fish and chips, lovely friendly staff. Fish slightly too golden for my taste as were the chips but that's my personal preference. Very tasty still.

Got told about this fish and chip shop and we thought we give it a try.So glad we did...both had cod and chips.Was cooked to order but wasn't waiting long.Best fish and chips I've EVER had and I've had plenty.Chips cooked to perfection and BROWN not white.Fish COD melted in your mouth.Can not wait Togo back to filey and Carnt wait for Cod and proper chips from Dicky Bees!! Best Fish and chip shop around FACT !!!!

Restaurant and takeaway Excellent fish and chips ! They cater for children , pensioners and everything in between ! great service !

Fish fried to order. Greated by staff who made me feel like my custom was welcome. Great fish and chips - nice crisp batter.

We had fish and chips to take away as it is not a restaurant, we took them back to our caravan and the fish was absolutely cracking, the batter was dark and crispy and didn't stick to the fish and the fish was cooked to perfection under it's armour. The chip were OK had better but had a great deal worse, I also had a curry sauce that was nice and fruity with a bit of heat very good. Would recommend if you do not want to sit down.

Went with friends after reading the great reviews on Trip Advisor. Wish we hadn't.

Had a lovely meal and drinks at ducky bees chips hop and cafe food was wonderful and staff very friendly

Visited for takeaway lunch, had to wait for fish to be cooked, but was worth the wait.The chips were brown (not anaemic like so many chippies). Had the mini fish but this was a large size.Overall wonderful.

I have had takeaway and used the small café to the rear of the shop and can say these are possibly the best fish and chips I have ever eaten. The shop is a little off the beaten track but it is definitely worth tracking down, the food is prepared to order so expect a short wait while they cook your order. There is a small café at the rear which is spotlessly clean, I have no idea how they can keep it so clean in a busy fish & chip shop but they do. All the staff are friendly and very helpful, I’m looking forward to my next trip to Filey just for another visit to Dicky Bee’s.

Best Fish & Chips in Filey, the local,s recommened it to us while we was on holiday, we will most deffinatley be going back

We were looking for somewhere for a quick bite and came across Dickie Bees whilst walking from the Brigg Caravan Park to the town centre. It's just off the town centre but easy to get to and worth the effort. At first sight the shop looks like it's just a take away chippy but on entering the door to the small cafe area is straight ahead. Deciding on a sit down meal with a cup of tea we entered the cafe and were met by a friendly young lady who told us to grab a seat and she would be with us shortly. First impressions were good, the compact cafe area was spotless. Within a couple of minutes a large plate of freshly cooked cod and chips was delivered to a fellow diner. A real plateful!!!After placing our order for two small haddock and chips (with a portion of mushy peas to share) the waitress delivered our pot of tea, cups and additional water + the brown bread and butter. This was followed quickly by fresh fish and chips. All went quiet whilst we tucked in to our lunch and what a good plate of food it was! Fish and chips like grandma used to cook!After clearing our plates and emptying our tea pot we prepared for our continued walk in the rain suitably nourished and still enough change from a £20 note for scone and tea for two later in the afternoon!!!!!

Always consistently excellent, the fish and chips here. We've never tried the small cafe area at the back of the shop, as we always go for a take away option. Fish is always cooked fresh to order and when it's gone, it's gone, so get there early !

This chippy has been open for many years and it's still very good, you always get good portions and the fish are always cooked fresh. They have a good takeaway menu and it's all very tasty, enjoy. Happy Holidays

used to visit dicky bees almost 30 years ago and surprise surprise we found it again today...albeit different owners but the haddock and chips still as good as they always were.small restaurant attached which is so clean and airy and with two very full plates of haddock and chips cooked to order and tea for two for £15 we will certainly return on our next visit to scarborough...yes we are staying in scarborough now so will be worth the journey to filey in a few weeks for lunch again.lovely staff and although we had to wait as everything is cooked to order it certainly would not put us off returning.

After trying Inghams in town on our last visit, we decided to give Dickies a try. When we arrived there was a queue, great we thought, must be decent. Oh dear. The chips were ok but the fish.......The batter was burnt and very, very dark and the fish was beyond dry!!Sorry folks, won't be using you again

This little pocket rocket of a fish shop never fails to please. First class food and first class service.

This chippy as been open for many years and it's still has good, you always get good portions and the fish are always cooked fresh, enjoy. Happy Holidays

Quite simply the best fish and chips I have ever had, mostly down to the amazing batter. I would highly recommend.

Fabulous fish and chips. Possibly the best in Filey, cooked to order and piping hot. The fish tasted as though it had just been pulled out of the sea and the chips were not greasy at all.

Can't visit Filey, ( or Scarborough or Brid) without a visit to the best fish shop I have ever been too, just the thought makes my mouth water, wish they were my local.

Having had fish and chips at Dicky Bees a few times, tonight we had the worse fish ever. The batter was over cooked to almost burnt and the fish inside was as dry as a bone. Won't be going there again.

Fantastic fish & chips cooked while we waited so fresh straight out of the frier. Spotlessly clean and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Great fish and chips best I have had in a while. They only open for a short time so be sure to be first. Check the times.

i took two elderly Aunts to Filey for a day out, as they are disabled I got fish and chips in boxes, they were excellent, perfectly cooked, chips crisp and not at all greasy, took them to the Cobble landing and parked looking out to sea, there was a tea bar close by so we all had a mug of very good tea. Perfect!!!

In my opinion, these are the best Fish and Chips in Filey, I'm not sure about the opening times of this Fish shop, but, if you do find them open , it's well worth a visit, beautifully clean and very pleasant staff. My favourite " chippy "

Not been before, but we were in the area. We decided to try Dicky Bees. We were not disappointed. The service was really friendly and the food delicious. Tea, bread and butter included in the price. We decided to eat in. Little cafe at the back. Would go again.

Crispy and tasty fish and chips. Cooked the traditional way in beef dripping by an expert. Highly recommended

Called in here for tea, lovely little place also has a on site cafe, very clean, and inviting. The staff are friendly we had fish and chips and they were delicious good size portions beautiful fish and chunky chips. Only downside was had to wait as they lost the order but they were worth it.

Fabulous fish and chip shop and cafe. Really well cooked, no grease. Lovely friendly staff, very pleasant cafe.

Dickie Bees is by far the best chippy in town, gorgeous fish, crisp batter, delicious chips and the curry sauce is to die for, highly recommended a visit and there is an area to dine in style with a cuppa and some bread and butter should you wish

Unusually they close at 6:30 in the evening but this peculiarity is more than made up for in the quality of food and the friendliness of service.

Lovely fish & chips every time. Good service. Always a reliable meal from here. Nice range of different food items.

Take a walk around back streets of this delightful coastal town and find this little "locals" fish shop. It has a small sitting area but Fish and Chips should be eaten on the hoof.Order on entry so fresh every time. Just Fish and Chips no kebabs etc to taint the flavour or aroma. The best in town.

Clean friendly service. Freshly cooked fish. Worth finding its opposite the salvation army charity shop.

I gave you another chance and looked forward too some chips. 140 for next to nothing. U tight greedy sods

I went to this fish shop as I had just arrived in Filey for a holiday and it was a wet and windy night. I got a lovely fish, chips and peas. the café staff were friendly and I was allowed to take my well behaved dog in to wait whilst my fish was done.

One of the best chippy,s in Filey, been here for a long time and still very popular. Good size portions.

hello Dicky Bees your fish and chirps are the best in Filey and we all like fish and chirps and we love it

Nice fresh cod, very tasty chips, and a huge portion for £5. Staff friendly. Excellent. Would prefer the batter slightly less well cooked though ladies.

Best fish in town by far. Chips are great too. Staff is always pleasant. Not open as long out often as they could be but when they open.......

Fancying fish and chips when staying at the bay we drove up to Filey and parked on Mitford street and walked to Dicky bees only to see them close the door and lock up.this at seven in the evening in summer just as people are arriving for their hols.

We were recommended to visit here by some friends and sadly were disappointed. We found the portion sizes very tight. We ordered 3 large portions of chips to share between 6, as this is usually more than enough. However each portion had barley enough for one person. Fish was over cooked. But service was swift. Would not visit again.

We visit every year and each time it is as excellent as the previous visit. The fish is always light and delicious and the mushy peas perfectly complement it and the chips. Great portion sizes, what more could you want? Have some bread & butter and a cuppa with the meal, too. We're always made welcome by the staff and look forward to the next visit!

Best fish and chips in Filey bar none. Ring up first with your order though as they get very very busy.

We always have fish n chips at Dicky Bees when we come to Filey now. It far surpasses any other fishery in Filey, Inghams included. It is extremely well priced, the staff are great, friendly and attentative and the cafe, almost hidden through a glass door to the rear is quiet and pleasant. We would seriously recommend. It's up by the Museum, just a little off the beaten track but worth the diversion.

Loved this place but not open on a Sunday or Monday - beautiful fresh fish and hand cut fresh chips and of course bread and butter

Fabulous food and service every time. Consistently good fish and chips. I particularly lime the patties.

Love their fish and chips but they close too early for my liking especially on Friday and Saturday nights.

Have been going to this establishment for many years and they never fail to impress. Very fresh fish and chips, one of the best in my opinion. Only trouble is you cannot get fish and chips in Filey after around 7:30pm.

Friendly staff. Obliging to customers. Can order over the phone and ready for collection. Fish batter can sometimes be too dark and well cooked. Plenty of choice for take-away food, and mushy peas are available. There are plenty of chips per normal sering and enough for two, and they serve small helpings of chips.

Visited because of mainly reviews on here, very friendly shop, nice and clean, small area for eating in. I was told the owners are relatively new, two adults and two children, service was good nice and attentive, however food came, two fish and chips, fish and peas, jumbo sausage and one curry sc, the peas were very nice, the fish was over cooked quite dark in colour with the skin on, the chips were warm and not hot and crispy, the jumbo sausage came with batter on? and the curry sauce is very different quite runny with sultanas and sml cubes of apple not your usual curry sauce to be expected.i have marked it as average due to it being clean and the staff were friendly, we are from preston/blackpool and our fish doesn't come with skin on, nor when we ask for a jumbo sausage does it have batter on, maybe its just us but why do any other chippies outside of our county serve fish with the skin on?this could be a nice shop, but the owners need to learn how to fry properly, and serve the best produce they can, not just dishing chips out if they have been sat around, learn to fry to your needs and if items are to be battered then say so and i would recommend a standard curry sauce.price was £25 with tea and soft drinks

Every time we come to Filey this is where we get our fish and chips. The battered cod is lovely, the batter is so crispy and moreish! I now rate all other fish and chips against Dicky Bees- it's hard to beat!

Tasty locally caught cod accompanied by chips with plenty of salt and vinegar the owners are friendly and the portions generous with prices reflecting the quality of the fish and chips on offer

been in filey this week ,been back to our best ever fish and chips ever ,freshly cooked to order ,not greasy , great chips ,haddock to die for,golden n crispy every time,they wont fail you .friendly every time .and reasonable.

We go to dickie bees every time we visit filey ,and when we've stayed at blue dolphin holiday camp we travel back to dickie bees just for their fish and chips ..we go back year after year .
