Takeaway so not a sit in place. Only reason atmosphere lost marks. Staff were engaging and friendly, food was as good as Whitby fish and chips.

Just Good Fish and Chips. My cod and regular chips was £8.90 at time of writing * The longest I've ever waited to get served and to receive my fish and chips but I didn't mind a good atmosphere in the shop. Apparently, a power cut in the afternoon and a biker event lead to a perfect storm of delays. All those that missed in the afternoon were back in the evening. If power cuts are to become more regular a back up generator wired in to the mains might be a solution for the business like this. Been back a couple of few times since my glowing review. price increase and much tighter portion controls seems to be in effect. not having light bite portion and thereby having to buy standard portion size at £9.30 and the fish size seemingly light bite has taken the edge off for me. personally i think one or the other.increase your price or regulate your portions. still tasty fish and chips.

Fantastic staff, great sense of humour. Haddock & chips with peas and curry for four. Haddock was delicious, firm flesh and crispy batter. Had to stop eating the chips before I put myself in a food coma. If you are any where near Staithes you must get your chippy tea from here.

Formerly rated as 5 star. Been looking forward to this all week. Got in, told no haddock even though only jumbo haddock showing out of stock, fine. Cod then. Chips and gravy, no gravy available- it’s powder added to hot water? Fine, peas. Ordered, walked 5 min back home, whole thing was totally dry and disappointing, chips were undercooked. I’ve been here for years and adored the food, I get the impression the people working there just can’t be arsed. Real shame, lost a customer of many years and spoilt my night with my wife on last night of holiday.

Whilst on holiday in North Yorkshire we had a day near the coast. Looking on the map Excelsior Fisheries was the only place the was still open and had very good reviews too. We got there just before closing one lunchtime and they cooked us fresh cod and chips for 4 of us and 2 children’s meals which came with a free drink.There was a board displaying where the fish was sourced and even the variety of potatoes for the chips and the fact that they were fried in beef dripping. I can honestly say they were the best fish and chips we’d ever had. The shop was very clean, the food was delicious and we were very impressed. If we’re ever back that way we’d certainly make the effort to go again.

Excellent fish and chips, cooked to order. Friendly service and great value. Just wish we lived a little nearer. An eight hour round trip is too long to make this a regular treat. A trip to Excelsior will have to remain one of the must dos on our list for our annual Staithes visits.

Disappointed again…. We used the Fish and Chip Shop frequently when the previous owner ran the place…..first class… We were there for the change over to the new owners….teething problems meant we didn’t go back…..but we recently read some great reviews…..so gave it another go…. Sadly our first impression was correct…. Haddock turned out to be Cod? Soggy chips are never good. It’s an average chippy….no better or worse than many others but it does make Liverton Fish and Chips look really good…which they are……

We visited last Saturday having just arrived for a week staying in Staithes. The fish, chips and mushy peas were amazing, as were the scraps. The landlord of our holiday let had recommended it. My only moan would be the girl serving. She chatted away to her male colleague (who engaged with my husband about the football and was pleasant enough) but when it came to us, she looked at us as if we were annoying tourists. If I looked at my clients that way, I wouldn't have any! Sad as the food was as good as we'd heard it was.

Firstly the positives, good portion sizes and spectacular fish. Cooked nicely and not too greasy. Now for the negatives, the chips were disgusting. They were black and green and should never have been used, never mind sold. I suspect a rotten batch of potatoes, and it meant we never ate ours. If we hadn't have been so far away we would have returned them, but it's the reason for the 3 star review.

Decided on fish and chips on one of our nights staying in the village and had been here on previous visits. We chose to eat in at one of the tables which is a very welcome bonus and means you get to eat every fresh from the fryer. The food was gorgeous, great sized fish which was lovely and white and flakey with superb batter. The chips and mushy peas were also excellent. The young lad on the fryer certainly knew what he was doing and asked how everything was and seemed genuinely proud of what he was producing. As good as any fish and chips we've had

First went a couple of months ago: Great welcome, great atmosphere, fabulous fish and chips cooked to perfection in beef dripping!!! Returned a couple of weeks later looking forward to a repeat performance: Great welcome, quieter in shop and fish and chips were much smaller, although the taste was still excellent! Returned end July as part of my birthday celebrations, only to find shop closed due to 'new arrival in the family'!! Went back last week: No greeting, no customers and tripped over the sombre atmosphere in the shop. There seemed to be a new fryer, who was learning. He was doing his best, but had no support from the owner and usual fryer. Fish was tiny, undercoojed and extremely greasy sat upon a mountain of lukewarm, greasy chips...... Not his fault, btw - he needed guidance!! I WILL return, soon and trust all will be back to usual standard 🤞

Este lugar es tan bueno que debe reservar para evitar la decepción! Habíamos planeado comer en el centro de la ciudad de Scarborough después de haber tenido una tarde encantadora viendo una película y de compras, pero el lugar que habíamos elegido había decidido cerrar temprano porque habían tenido 2 días ocupados! Llamé a Walkers y nos lanzamos sobre su misericordia. Por supuesto que estaban llenos en este sábado por la noche, pero sentía tanta pena por nosotros que nos dieron una mesa en su bar de budín. Hay una gran variedad de comidas, todo muy caliente y sabroso y el personal es muy amable y eficiente. Siempre tengo el eglefino y langostino mornay que tiene una salsa cremosa y está lleno de pescado. Viene con patatas fritas, patatas hervidas o una ensalada de acompañamiento y en esta ocasión elegí la ensalada de acompañamiento, que era enorme y mucho mejor que el pequeño plato habitual de hojas flácidas y pequeños trozos de tomate y cebolla roja que los lugares suelen llamar ensalada de acompañamiento (ver foto). En verano suelo elegir la ensalada de colas de cangrejo de río, que también tiene una excelente relación calidad-precio, llena de ensalada fresca y fruta con una porción muy generosa de colas de cangrejo de río. He estado dos veces con amigos que han tenido que pedir una caja para llevar a casa la mitad de su porción que han disfrutado para su almuerzo del día siguiente en casa! Tenemos mucha suerte de tener este maravilloso restaurante familiar cerca de nosotros. ¡Vete, pero llama primero para reservar o te decepcionará!

Pasó 3 noches en el Hotel The Chapel House, alojamiento y desayuno. Estábamos un poco aprensivos del auto check-in, pero recibimos un mensaje de texto el día de nuestra llegada con instrucciones claras y no podría haber sido más fácil. Todo fue pensado para hacer nuestra estancia fácil, hasta la compra en el lugar de permisos de aparcamiento si vinimos en coche y la provisión de toallas adicionales (por un pequeño cargo) para utilizar la piscina de al lado. La habitación familiar que teníamos estaba limpia y tenía todo lo que necesitábamos y era atendida todos los días. El hotel está a poca distancia a pie del centro de la ciudad que conduce a la playa. El personal era encantador y el desayuno era genial - por favor, pruebe la papilla no te decepcionará que era exuberante!
