Fish Box Whitby in Scarborough

Overall, not a bad fish and chip shop! The vegetarian sausages were delightful and perfectly cooked. The mushy peas were slightly pale but seasoned nicely (not too salty!). However, I'm not giving 5 stars due to the fact that the chips weren't as crispy as I desired. Aside from the food, there was a tranquil atmosphere which was enjoyable ☺️

Lovely cod and chips worth the moneywith mushy peas and drink.

We called there today, the best Fish and Chips we have had for years, excellent food, service and the place was spotless. Fish, chips, a side dish and a drink for £12.20 absolute bargain.

Stopped here for food to takeaway on a day trip. In terms of food, the portions are huge and well worth the cost. Haddock was really tasty. The service and atmosphere in the place is horrendous. The staff seemed like they couldn't be bothered to be there and were just just chucking orders together and hoying them on the top of the counter, a few people pointed out missing items from their order... no apology just a grunt and that shoved with the rest. Salt and vinegar must NOT be put on your food at the counter, so your closing the left opened boxes to take them to a window ledge where everyone else is queing to open your food back up and do your salt and vinegar to box back up and leave the shop, no bags offered for takeaway. The staff situation yesterday really lets the place down.

Love the cod box meal Excellent fish & chips good price the curry sauce is excellent & you get a drink of choice too Been coming here for years on a day in Whitby always excellent service & spotless clean too Highly recommend

Really good fish and chips.Good service from friendly staff.

Been here today and a good few times over recent years and never had a bad fish and chips, it’s always spot on and the staff are always friendly even though there is a constant stream of people to serve.

Was very busy but staff working really hard. Yummy fish and chips, order screen a bonus.

I ate here tonight, the chips were old and had the appearance of being reheated 4-5 times + please see attached photos. The fish was “cold” & very rubbery the batter was not fresh and it also looked like it had either been reheated or been sitting there for a very long time, in any case it was disgusting & the worst fish & chips I have ever had in Whitby, in the future I will be going to Magpies as the consistency of the food is excellent. I would advise others to do the same. I did not complain as from reading other reviews why sitting in, it became clear they don’t take feed back or complaints very well and end up screaming at there customers.

Huge haddock fillet and chips.Excellent batter, really fresh fish, nice chips. Couldn't fault it, and outside seating if you have a dog with you.

Absolutely everything you would want or expect, had the large haddock and chips, lovely fresh fish and chips would definitely recommend. We sat at the outside seating area to enjoy the sun, was given a bleeper when the order was placed, food freshly cooked in around 10 minutes. Admittedly not the most scenic location in Whitby but is right up there with the best fish and chips, bargain at £9.90per portion.

Used 3 years running and always excellent food no complaints good portions and the cod always white & flaky with a thin crispy batter will be using again next visit.

Tremendous fish,chips and mushy peas , tasty and good price

This is a lovely little place with good quality fare and absolutely lovely staff. We really appreciated the inclusive vegetarian options in this fish and chips shop in Whitby and the fact that the fish can fry in vegetable oil. Also just a generally nice atmosphere, comfy seating, generous portion sizes and my fish cake tasted a bit like vegetable oil because of when the Fish box staff fried the fish cake in the fryer as well. I gave this fish and chips shop in Whitby a 10/10 for the awesome fish and chips lunch experience.

Lovely fish and chips and gravy was even better

Great tasting fish and chips. Good priced meal deal

Chips was greasy and to make it worse they even got my order wrong and it cost an arm and leg won’t be going there again

Ate here in August. Bit pricey but fish and chips in Whitby are not cheap. Served pretty quickly. Customer service could have been a little better by telling us where the salt, vinegar and forks were. However the food was nice and we've been before and food was good then. 👍👍

Quick service, the kids likes the fish bites box and chicken bites. box , the lady on the counter are very attentative.

Great food, the meal boxes are great value - fish or fish cake, chips, side, drink. Hand made fish cakes and tartare sauce were also great. Great service as well, and you get a tag that beeps to let you know your food’s ready.

Absolute beautiful fish and chip shop. I use the cell service machine to feed two of us. We got fish chips, mushy peas twice, two bottles of water and a can of Coke with extras. It only come to 21.50

Nice crisp batter, flavoursome fish, good chips, friendly service

Had a lovely fish supper here which set us right up. Deffo recommend.

The best fish & chips in whitby. Go every year and never miss dining in. Top top food

We had cod and chips box. The fish is really fresh. It’s located near the train and bus station, therefore is very convenient for tourists like us.

This is a lovely little place with good quality fare and absolutely lovely staff. We really appreciated the inclusive vegetarian options (battered Quorn sausage!) and the fact that they fry in vegetable oil. Also just a generally nice atmosphere, comfy seating, generous portion sizes and total lack of terrifying seagulls. Nice one Fish Box!

Great take a way fish and chips. Fried to perfection. Would recommend.

Good fish chips, peas, and a coke Special price Good value Seating outside

Friendly staff lovely fish and chips and peas tastey will go again

Beautiful fish and chips and very good value for money... £12.10 fish box with a side and drink can't get any better

Food was delicious but we only ordered sausages and chips and had over an hour wait because a lady with a large order came in after us and got served first, we were told it was because she had a large order. Not really a good enough reason when I'd already paid and had been waiting in the queue and had already placed my order. Staff offered us free cans of drinks to make up for inconvenience but Id rather of not had the wait. Bins were overflowing and tables were not clean or cleared either because of the large order!

Linda wanted light and soggy batter, and that's what they did to order. Thanks for your help that day, too.

Great fish and chips at a very good price

A great chippy, in a field of many, we ate alfresco on their benches. Great prices, lovely staff, clean premises. It's all one needs.

Fish, although huge, was let down by being a bit watery. The chips were good, though. The lady serving was a bit grumpy, resulting in the three star rating.

Food was excellent portion, good taste at good price

I visited Whitby with my dog and had looked for some time for a dog friendly place to sit down and have fish and chips. The Fish Box has outdoor seating and the weather was pleasant so I chose to eat there. The lady behind the counter was friendly and the cod, chips, mushy peas and drink. Tartare sauce was extra. were good fish lovely, nice batter, chips were ma bit soft no crisp bit to them. Service was quick and because I had a dog they brought it out to my table.

Just had a great meal, plenty there for a grown man. Batter on the fish is lovely and crispy no greasy taste anywhere top notch tucker.

Popped in for quick dinner and had a tasty treat. Fish was excellent and so fresh. Batter was crisp and delicious. Staff were pleasant and polite and took pride in their service.

Lovely huge haddock with crispy batter, tasty chips and mushy peas. We sat outside because we have 2 dogs. Highly recommend

Not the best. Th fish had skin on one side and the meat was very thin. Much better options in Whitby.

We visited Whitby with our dog so had been looking for some time for a dog friendly place to have fish and chips. The Fish Box offered outdoor seating and the weather was pleasant so we chose to eat there. We were not disappointed, the staff were friendly and the fish and chips were excellent. We both had haddock and chips with mushy peas and for £24 which included a soft drink we were impressed with the quality of the meal. Service was quick also.

That's what we come here for lovely fish and chips and curry sauce 10/10

Lovely fresh fish , clean and great value fish and chips. Would definitely recommend. Will be back when next in Whitby . .

Good food, but pricey and scruffy

Good value for money! Portion sizes were massive. Staff were friendly & helpful! The haddock was amazing! We will definitely come back in our next visit to Whitby

Absolutely rubbish! Chips weren’t chippy chips and the price for 2 small fish and chips, 2 sauces with 2 drinks came to £21. Absolutely SCANDALOUS! The chips were also under cooked. I felt absolutely robbed! Won’t be returning. It’s no wonder it was dead in there. Should be ashamed of yourselves charging that ridiculous amount of money for something I could’ve got for £13 down at my local. Really put me off going to Whitby tbh

Came to whitby and decided to have fish and chips for dinner and came upon fish box. Ordered fish and chips with a selection of sides and are inside. The fish was cooked from fresh to perfection and the batter was perfect, The sides were very tasty and the peas were cooked as they should be. Enjoyed the meals throughly and can say they were some of the best fish and chips we have tasted! Will definitely return to eat next time in Whitby. Will recommend to family and friends.

We always go to the Fish Box when in Whitby. Chips are cooked to perfection and they have beans as well as peas. Some plant based options too when ch is a nice touch. See you again soon.

Lovely fish and chips and very reasonably priced.

The haddock was crispy as I wanted it. fast and great for value.

Excellent tasting fish and chips, decent portions and price. Shame about the customer service. No smiles, not helpful. So perhaps better as a takeaway.

Found this takeaway on the last day my holiday, the food was excellent the fishcake and curry sauce (spicy) were superb the best chippy in whitby

Popped into this great little fish and chip shop whilst on a day out in Whitby. Super friendly staff and really great food, at really good prices too.

Really disappointed with quality of the chips given the high rating given by others. When I arrived at 5pm on a Saturday it was empty and the staff were stood around waiting. My takeaway order was ready quickly but the chips were a mixture of dry and hard/undercooked ones. We threw away about three quarters of them as they just weren’t very nice. Will give somewhere else a try next time.

Me and my wife have had the takeaway fish and chips from here They were very good Pity we can’t get them like that where we live in Scotland We’re from Yorkshire and miss fish and chips so bloody much

Just chips and curry sauce ordered for £4.40. Good quality and amount provided. Excellent curry sauce, recommend.

Tried fish and chips for the first time and absolutely fell in love. 🩷 Staff were very polite and helpful. Also they serve vegan , so must try. ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Love whitby I always get my fish and chips from Fish box not badly priced always lovely and you don't wait long especially nice on a warm day and you can sit outside

Best thing I can say is they were quick. Other than that, soggy old chips, more batter than fish, crabby service (to be fair it was just prior to closing and the staff were probably exhausted). Not cheap either - AU$45 equivalent for 2. We ate outside, binned most of it. Won’t be back. Must be better in Whitby!

Great fish and chips, would recommend

Absolutely lovely fish! So tasty.

Lovely freshly cooked fish and chips

Absolute rip off 9.90 for a haddock and chips which is basically a kids portion, burnt haddock, all batter no fish, will not be coming back!!

Been coming here for over a decade. Was always consistently good. Today had small cod and chips. The small cod was very small and very dry

Fish was lovely and crispy, and portions were the perfect size. We didn’t have to wait long as we had ordered on the app to collect

You are slightly spoilt for choice in Whitby when it comes to fish & chips (and every other kind of food for that matter), we had been told to go to Trenchers, but seemingly so had half of Whitby. The queue was massive and we had two highly irritable toddlers in tow so we decided to get a takeaway at Fishbox, seeing as the weather was incredibly nice. The only downside was the ordering, there was someone on the till taking orders, as well as some screens in the shop where you ordered from, which is great, but it’s a small shop and it just all felt a bit chaotic. It got busy and there isn’t really anywhere to stand to wait and once you’ve got your order, you have to fight your way back out of the shop. That said, the food was absolutely incredible, I couldn’t fault it. The batter on the fish was just perfection. The only thing I would say is that the portions are massive, we could’ve easily shared between two. There’s a wait for the food but most things are cooked fresh and as I said, it’s absolutely worth the wait and slight hassle of ordering. Will definitely return.

Their fish n chips were off the charts

It's alright, lots of items on the menu missing, but quick enough. Tables outside to eat.

Lovely fish and chip shop. Always come to this one

Great food, very crispy battery on fish Great chips and service was very welcoming . Also reasonably priced. Overall great little place to grab a bite.

Very tasty fish, chips and mushy peas. Freshly cooked fish, meaty with crispy batter and lovely mushy peas too. Cooked fresh to order. Did not have to wait long. Sat outside on a very clean bench/table. Everything seemed to be biodegradable as far as packaging and wooden forks. Very good! Well done!

The fish and chips was Absolutely Excellent And I m not very easily pleased with fish chips but this one was 10/10 Nice family staff too

Good place, I always go for a battered sausage and chips, surprisingly cheap and delicious. Wish they sold cream soda along with their other drinks though... If you order not close to meal time, the food might be a little less hot than I'd wish, but if you keep it safely close to lunch it'll be fine.

Very nice and good quality fish and chips. Has a few tables outside to sit and orders are quite quickly dealt with using a touch screen ordering service.

Weddy and George are very welcoming food was excellent, plenty of seating inside or out, its not cheap but if you pay cheap you get cheap everything is fresh cooked and the scampi is the best I've ever tasted and well worth it. I'll be going back again Please give it a try it's well worth it 👌. You can even buy food and walk a couple of minutes and sit on the harbour to eat. I have just Sean a picture of the menu the prices have gone up since that photo but still worth every penny

On the open top bus ride different establishments were pointed out for their fish and chips. But when we looked at the prices at one of these places, £16 for fish and chips, we decided to look elsewhere. Found a place called Fish Box opposite the Co-op, good size and tasty cod and chips for around £9. You order and pay on a touchscreen, then go up and wait for your order. There is seating inside and outside.

Good food and good service could of offer a better selection of utensils

Worst fish and chips I’ve had in a long time, also they’d ran out of salt vinegar🤔, don’t waste your hard earned money or time, go to fusco’s on baxtergate

OK but there looked to be much better options. All our fish were at least 60% batter and the kids fish bits were more like 80% batter.

Excellent food,good ordering system when busy very efficient staff and what wonderful fish and chips ,top class.

Stopped by here to sample the famous Whitby whole tail scampi and fish and chips. Cooked fresh to order and delicious, decided to eat it on the quayside, though there is plenty of nice clean indoor seating.

Had wonderful Haddock and Chips yesterday, perfectly cooked and the haddock was excellent. Being from Grimsby I love a good chippy. 👌👍👍😋

Great fish and chips, nice village

Brilliant! Ordered food and sat in with my wife and 3 yesr old, portions were good size and prices fair. The staff were great, interacted with my son and very friendly. Food was brilliant, all tasty and piping hot.

The food was amazing! We passed lots of fish and chip shops in Whitby with massive queues, so we were dubious, but with a hungry 3 year old, we couldn’t wait. We were not disappointed! The fish and chips were huge and fresh, and the scampi the tastiest ever! Portions sizes were huge and reasonable prices for the size! Don’t pass this place by! Xx

Freshly cooked to order even though it was a busy Saturday in Whitby. Proper fishcakes, not the usual orange ones you get in most chippys. Proper Mushy peas as well. Good value and very tasty. Not greasy like most places with freshly cooked fish

First time visiting and very nice food, cooked fresh! My wife had the Chicken and Mushroom pie and I had sausage and chips. My wife really enjoyed the pie and the sausage was freshly cooked. We both really enjoyed the chips. We used their self service EPOS screen to order our food and found it to not be very user friendly. But I observed the level of service that was given to people ordering at the counter and it was great so can't fault the service. Polite, friendly staff. Reasonable price when you consider other options in the area, also perfectly situated to bring in those customers that have just had a long drive and are you hungry!

Lovely food, fresh and tasty love their home made fishcakes they are really tasty

With a lot of choice for fish and chips in Whitby, we chose fish box because it was affordable and appears to be very popular. The decor is nicely done and there is sufficient seating both inside and out. My wife and i decided to sit outside as we visited on a warm afternoon, it's just a shame that fish box doesn't overlook the harbour. Sadly the main road can be quite noisy and my dogs were put off by the busy traffic going past. Staff are very pleasant and you can order either at the counter or self serve machines, which means you won't be waiting around to place an order. Staff are very accommodating, I even saw a man pull up outside in a van and they went out to take his order. We have been to the fish box a couple of years ago, however the food tasted even better on this visit. My wife and I both had cod and chips and for the price you will struggle to find a better place to eat. Shame the tomato ketchup costs 30p for a small sachet, I would love to see this be complimentary. In summary I would recommend Fish box to others visiting Whitby, the food is very fresh and you will receive a warm welcome.

Great fish and chips so fresh and tasty.

Only had a cup of tea here so not able to comment on the food

Lovely fish and chips,great service

We live 2 hours away..had been to Scarborough and popped to Whitby. Absolutely lush. Can't fault it. I'd be forever there if I lived closer. I had chips fishcake n gravy..delicious

Fresh, beautifully cooked, and great quality fish and chips. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back again. Friendly staff, and enough in one portion for two adults.

Lovely experience. The curry sauce tho😍 Definitely recommend

Really nice fresh fish and chips would definitely go again.

Brilliant fish and chips just a bit annoyed that I sent a message 2 days ago and still got no response

The service was excellent and the meal was even better I have been using that fish and chip shop for a while now and I look forward to visiting it every time I go to Whitby

I love it there friendly people always kind and helpful and thoughtful nice people there too.there food is always great
