Drake's Fish & Chips in Harrogate

Despite advertising an opening time of 22:00 they where closed by 21:30!! Not worth even bothering with!

Went in today 1 Jul 24. . Staff were lovely, and can’t believe the size of portions. There was no waiting to be served and very fast to be delivered. Well worth a visit

used to be nice but now bang average and expensive too

Really shocking good chips burnt to over done fish was like yesterday’s fish … not fresh at all ?? Dont think I will be returning

Sign says probably the best fish and chips in Harrogate and I have to agree they probably are. Excellent. Only issue was there was an uber driver in front of me getting a shipping order so I had to wait a while and I hadn't eaten for 24 hours literally.

A bit stingy on the the chips. Bang on though

Re-heated from lunchtime service

This fish and chips were terrible. Chips tasted like old potatoes. Overcooked, dark and really greasy. Fish again overcooked and also had a taste of old/going off fish. Very overpriced. Disgusted with quality

Chef was rude, toilets were absolutely disgusting, food was awful. This place used to be great definitely gone downhill will not be back.

Missed the scraps from my order

my fish and chips were late delivery. to top it off they cold. very disappointed

Staff were really nice, but the food was not great. I had a standard pre made pie and chips and my partner had a “fish cake” and chips. The chips weren’t crispy and oily. And the fish cake was battered, so it isn’t a fish cake. Disappointing.

Missing items and small portion

Expensive. Quick service. Over cooked and soggy. Average portion size.

Food excellent sachets of tartare sauce better than so called home made delivery time somewhat unbelievable

Well after recent hiccups we’re back on track the food was excellent thank you

Went for lunch in the cafe 8th march will never go back the food was absolutely disgusting chips were stone cold and look like they had been left for hours asked for fresh staff couldn't be bothered to much chatting I've been sick overnight not surprised we were the only ones in the cafe went to the gents asked were the lightwas Tobe told it out so use the ladies staff are not interested more talking amongst themselves rather than bother with the customer

Plaice excellent but didn’t understand the delivery issue first order couldn’t be delivered so restaurant issues or driver issues??

Fish were bits of fish. Not a fillet. very poor.

Well I’m sure you have realised I like plaice that was excellent I know we had a couple of hiccups but back on track that was excellent 👍👍👍👍

After the last meals it’s nice to know normal service has been resumed the plaice was excellent thank you

No drink with the order, I paid for a Fanta

Don’t know what’s gone wrong the plaice was not good the whole meal was cold so down to that old problem nobody care’s out to screw what you can and not provide any kind of service after all the meals I’ve had at Kingsley Drive now ???

Our favourite fish and chip shop in Harrogate. Really nice food at a fair price and lovely staff 😊

Well from Kingsley Drive to here at Fairfax Avenue I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had plaice and it’s always been excellent until tonight that was awful cold and I think it had a fight with Jaws !!!!

Fish and chips hot and delicious. Delivery great. Unfortunately I ordered curry sauce, received mushy peas. Not going to mark negatively.

Ignorant staff. They were chatting amongst themselves and threw my box of Fish and Chips on the counter making no eye contact or acknowledgement they were for me. Felt very undervalued and won't be going again.

Plaice good my only point tonight would be a little heavy on the batter but the plaice taste wise was excellent as always thank you

Plaice excellent as always just to clarify I’m the customer from Kingsley Drive I’ve moved 👍

Dried up shrivelled chips. Only one pie left. Similarly kept warm

As always plaice excellent hopefully not the last time as I’m on an eviction notice so don’t know where I’ll end up but thank you

Plaice and chips excellent but not impressed with home made tartar sauce tasteless stick with Heinz far better

Plaice excellent as always had withdrawal as not available last nights but chips and plaice wonderful. Why no onion rings ???

I do not recommend. I waited over an hour for my order. French fries and fish are oily and fried in old oil, dark and not good. Last time I ordered.

Salt and vinegar nice to know comments are listened too thank you

Plaice excellent but yet again salt and vinegar lost why put it on the menu if your not going to use it ? ?

Well yet again salt and vinegar for me makes the chips on the order but not on the chips ??? Plaice was excellent as always why can’t we get onion rings ??

Fish very dry and chewy. Curry sauce inedible and very sweet. I was so looking forward to my fish and chips with curry sauce, which I have had many times. I can only think that this shop has changed hands. I was going to make this a regular Friday lunchtime meal, but that won't be happening!

Plaice excellent mushy peas the best as a Yorkshire man I hate waste what about offering small potion of chips ?

Plaice excellent but need to invest in better quality vinegar

this is the 4th or 5th time our order came wrong or missing items. And if you dont want to put scraps on , fine! Just don't offer them then and your customer won't be disappointed. Not to mention , cold food and rude delivery driver. Won't be calling for a refund as last time you laughed at me and told me i ordered wrong, which was NOT the case.

missing items as usual ,and food was cold should've known by now..... probably about a year ago this place was bangin now its a rip off

They need to sell salt and vinegar as sides as they’re not able to put it on the food ! ! ?

FISH AND BATTER DELICIOUS. APPRECIATED SALT AS REQUESTED. ONLY NEGATIVE, WHICH I WON'T DOWNMARK, ASKED FOR HOMEMADE TARTAR SAUCE RECEIVED ONE SACHET!! USUALLY RECEIVE 2!!

Chips were very small and portion size of chips was small. Fish & batter lovely.

Quality Fish and Chips. Friendly Staff and a clean restaurant.

It was nice but more scraps then chips and extremely expensive for what you get, probably won't order again unless I have too

It’s still not been delivered - useless!

Starter with garlic sauce. non but non with last order salt and vinegar non so just eat and Drakes not interested as long as they make money quality out the window !!!

Brilliant all round. Delivery also great.

Sent soggy battered mushrooms instead of calamari, justeat won't refund.

Not pressed! Ordered a meal for one and fish and chips. When it arrived the fish and chips were missing off the order!!

No comment no one takes any notice

Fish and chips hot and delicious thankyou.I ordered tartar sauce but received garlic mayo?!?!Tried it.Did not enjoy. Spoilt a lovely meal.

Friendly staff , perfect fishcakes

Why ask for salt and vinegar yet it’s never on the food ? and fish was a little dry

The chips were soggy and there was not much batter on the fish.

As you know I’m a loyal patron but always believe in constructive Criticism drakes need to back off on the batter both on the haddock and the plaice and a small portion of chips would be a good way forward I’m a Yorkshire man hate waste !,!

Very disappointed. Gone downhill massively, will never use again. £6.45 for 7 pieces of Scampi, not even that nice.

Excellent as always! Thank you! ;)

Fish delicious. Chips awful unfortunately. Possibly heated up. Lots of hard bits. Disappointed.

Use to e 5 stars, but I have been the other day and almost froze to death waiting for my food, when I asked the staff to close the door I have been told that they are not allowed, see you in summer!

I had battered sausage and it was diabolical it was rank the chips were that thin I could hardly find them I WOULD not recommend them at all

Delivery driver Claimed she was not allowed to deliver to my my address and that I needed to note this for next time. please inform your driver that I have never heard so much rubbish in all my life!!

food delivered almost 2 hours after I ordered. was stone cold. usually good food from here but not this time

Everything hot and delicious thankyou. Delivery excellent

The service and the food is excellent, first rate, We go here every time and highly recommend.

Had the option for scraps which I ticked but none on meal

Thought we’d give Drakes another chance after a couple of years of using Bradley’s. The only reason was that Bradley’s was closed. Our justification for switching has just been reaffirmed. Chips were cold and some not cooked through. Gravy and peas just about okay but again cold. Fish bites? I’d love to say they were delicious but they didn’t include them in the order and yes they did charge us for them. Very disappointing.

Shocking service missed items from delivery this has happened twice to me will not be ordering from you again

Chips soggy and cooked gif knows how many times and burnt

I am furious! Due to lack of drivers our meal was being prepared at the restaurant for nearly two hours - There was no option to cancel our order on the app or the website (believe me I tried!) I rang the restaurant twice and was told they couldn’t cancel the order either. We got our order two hours after ordering and far to late for our 7year old to eat dinner!! Trying to contact someone at Just Eat was also not an option as it kept flicking to the help screen!

I have no issues with the food. It’s traditional fish & chips and have bought from Drake’s on several occasions. It’s the slow delivery that leaves your food cold on arrival! It’s just not good enough and the restaurants/take aways suffer as a result.

Plaice needs to be lighter on the batter but flavour good and need to be consistent it seems to vary with days ordered

Food was cold when it arrived late

Great food. Great delivery guy.

Didn’t get the 2 bread rolls we ordered

Always, always missing items. Usually missing mushy peas. It's getting annoying now.

Gorgeous food, great value for money, would recommend any dat of the week

Food order came wrong and when right one redelivered it was freezing cold

Food was delicious and hot. Would order again.

Food was good but there was no drinks delivered this is not the first time that this has happened

Disappointing! Chips ok, ordered one small one regularly! Both the same size, (small) Fish cake had no fish ! It resembled a potato cake! Curry sauce was OK but not enough chips to use all the sauce!!! £14 for the privilege! Shame was looking forward to them!!!

Delivery driver extremely rude I also paid for 2 cans of pop and only had one delivered food was cold Chicken burger was upside down not happy in the slightest

paid for meal - informed it would be a little late. following this other notifications :sorry but waiting for transport, have no cars available, every this was checked same answer. It was now 9 o/c and no meal--it did not come at all - Yet I paid for nothing. I then Ordered from another outlet.. REQUIRE REFUND PLEASE. D.Stephenson

You have delivered me the wrong order

Nice to see new staff at drakes restaurant wednesday dinner time. Was a pleasant visit and great food and clean all round. The waitress Karen was kind and polite and always had a smile on her face bringing a cheerful atmosphere Definitely visit again 100% recommend a visit

Great food hot ..tasty ,quick delivery quick hassle free .

Missing mushy peas with my order

Contacted on face book and email to complain about very dry fish and overcooked chips - ignored. Wont be going back ever - Bradley’s down the road can get our regular custom now 👋🏿

Beautiful food , chips were lovely :)

Food quality was overall good with delivery. Feel like a few little touches let them down. Hand battered scampi tasted like the normal frozen packet style and in the sides it mentions homemade tartare sauce. As an option when you select items you can choose sauce options but Heinz packet was sent. I can see that was probably my fault because i didn't order homemade sauce separately but feels a bit cheap when you've got a homemade option to throw in a packet instead. Haddock size was good and chips nice.

We visited yesterday for lunch my colleague ordered the large fish and chips with mushy peas I had the smaller portion with chicken for starter … they forgot the mushy peas and my meal after chasing we got the food … bearing in mind it was Friday it was very quite only one other couple in the restaurant

Food was cold and an item was missing from my order.

Order cold on arrival and chips stale. Batter was soggy and unpleasant. Have ordered from the counter several times before with no problems but won’t be ordering as delivery again. Disappointed on this order.

Whole place needs a good clean. Needs better quality fish, chips & mushy peas. The peas tasted weird. Value for money? Yes, you get what you pay for but the standard of Drakes has fallen, in my opinion

It was cold and no salt and vinager as requested, the mushy peas were like wall filler

What happened to my stamp card discount

My food was cold no curry sauce with it and I was waiting well after my arrival time

My order didn’t arrive called shop saying nothing they could do not happy in the slightest tbh
