Fryer Tuck in Richmondshire

I love my fish and chips and this place just went to number one in my hit list - taking me right back to my fave chippy in Thirsk. A quick pop in for lunch, but I'll be back for the full monty again. Unfortunately for my husband (who is veggie), they're a traditional chippy cooking in dripping, so no veggie options.

Excellent chippy! Great Food, very pleasant staff.

Fantastic Fish and Chips. Didn't expect them to be so good. Difficult to justify eating elsewhere when Friar Tucks is open. Atmosphere? It's a take away.

Like some of the other reviews, we must have got them on a bad day. Fish was greasy and soggy, chips were okay. Onion rings were tasty but all clumped together. Sausage was nice. It is cheap though.

Bought 3 fish & chips, soggy chips and portion size not very big, fish tasted like the day befores refried, batter very dark brown, oily and oil tasted old. Not nice at all. Worst fish & chips we’ve had for a long time.

Excellent quality fish and chips. Freshly fried to order gluten free every day they're open. Fully understand about hygiene and cross contamination. As a local who is coeliac, I eat here regularly and am very confident to do so.

Love this chippy I'm from Teeside and go there regularly on my motorbike so been here loads of times never been disappointed yet

We were really looking forward to fish and chips from your establishment .It sounded like an ideal start to our weekend break. Sadly that was not to be. Chips definitely like yesterday's warmed up. Fish was just about edible but the barrel was not. Couldn't eat fish or chips Have ended up eating a slice of bread and a chocolate ice. Very poor experience. Would Not use the shop ever again.

Absolutely fantastic cod & chips and amazing value for money. Regular is more than plenty! Especially compared to Whitby prices and portions that were used to. Thank you 🤩

Sorry to have to say this but on Saturday the 25th May we had the worst chips yet. From the day before I think. Ended up in the bin.

Worst fish and chips ever.I think they must have been yesterday's warmups.Dried out chips and fish terrible.Spoilt a nice weekend in Leyburn.

Fish and chips as good as it gets.

No frills Chippy but could not fault the food. Wrapped in paper, no nasty cardboard or polystyrene. Batter so crispy and chips lovely.

Decent portion size. Reasonably priced suppers. Went for battered sausage which was ok but chips were very good.

Friendly staff ..... great food

Tasty chips and scraps! Hours on Google Maps are incorrect. They open at lunchtime

Excellent fish and chips best I’ve had for a while. Batter crispy and handmade chips. Would highly recommend

Best fish and chips I have had for a long time.

Absolutely lovely worth every penny , very reasonable price. Best fish and chips we have had in ages worth the traveling from North Wales

First time eating here last weekend. Chips were really nice. Burger, though! Dry bun, no cheese, and a thin, tasteless burger. I know its a fish and chip shop, but if you're going to sell it, make it tasty, please!

Very disappointed, you advertise your open until 8pm on Fridays, yet at 7 15pm you were closed !

My husband picked up two haddock and chips and a can of Pepsi tonight. The fish tasted lovely and the chips were better than they looked, however the Pepsi was obviously produced for Germany, all the writing was in German and it was full of artificial sweetener which I can’t stand.

After extolling the virtues of the lovely fish and chips experienced in the past we called today having not been for a few weeks, oh dear what an unexpected let down, it was just not appetising at all with greasy chips and overcooked fish, we are prepared to give it another try in case this was just an ‘off day’.

After reading reviews, we expected a good meal. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed with our take away. The spam fritter was greasy, the fish were OK, the peas were lovely but the curry sauce was thin & bland and the chips were very pale, soggy & greasy. Maybe we were unlucky & it was an off night as it was a busy Saturday dinnertime?

I love this Chippy in the centre of Leyburn. Good food, sensible prices and friendly staff.

Just visited the Fryer Tuck in Leyburn and has a haddock cooked to order. In 76 years I have never tasted a better piece of battered fish, fish great and absolutely fantastic batter. Highly recommended and demands a return visit as soon as possible.

The fish and chips are excellent, we've eaten from here three times so far this week! The haddock is first class and cooked to order, the chips are very good and the helpings are generous. Staff are friendly and efficient and waiting time is minimal. Thoroughly recommended!

A fantastic local amenity. Great service and superb food. Takeaway only. Reasonably priced and good portions. We go once a week and have never been disappointed.

Ordered 3 cod and chips and a cheeseburger. The fish was quite nice but the burger was not very nice the bun was dry and there was no cheese in the burger. The chips had bits of grit in them!

Excellent gluten free fish and chips, cooked to order. Highly recommended. Staff knowledgeable about gluten free.

Excellent gluten free fish and chips, cooked to order. Excellent service and knowledgeable about gluten free.

Not noticeable as a chip shop if it wasn't for the queue ..Had cod and chips..Good price ,on par with a lot of places.. Cooked exactly how I like it,you can ask for Lightly battered but I prefer it cooked more..A good size piece of fish,very tasty and flaky.. They only take cash here,but there is a cash machine in the wall next door..

Really great Chippy, placed a very large order for collection, not one thing missed and the fish & chips were delicious, we had to travel 7 miles back to the campsite and they were still piping hot, brilliant, we will definitely be placing an order on our next trip

On holiday, fish and chips so good been here twice, I do not know what they do with the batter but really tasty. Cash only but cash machine couple of doors down.

Had fish and chips here whilst camping in the area and they were spot on. No nasty grease, really well fried and pretty good value for money. If I remember rightly it was cash only (which was a pain at the time) but all in all, a very good chippy.

I called in for my tea last night, i am a busy care worker in the area & hadnt time to go home to eat, i found this place clean & welcoming, pleasant staff & plenty of food which was very good. Thank you, i will definitely call again.

Hgv driver passing through, just had the best Fish & Chips in years, top quality, don't think I'll manage my Kebab tonight now 😋 😀. Thanks girls 👍

Visiting friends nearby and decided to have fish and chips as we were running late. Unfortunately we didn't get chance to try the food as after standing in queue outside for a while I finally made it into the shop and was about to order when I noticed the very small handwritten sign stating "cash only". Why should I leave the shop, go get cash and re queue to give you my business? It's 2021, cash is not often carried by many people and even less so with COVID being around. PUT THE SIGN IN THE WINDOW!

Visited here recently. Ordered Cod, Chips and Peas twice. The 3 ladies that were working, although were quite busy because of a nearby power cut I learned whilst waiting, were friendly and chatty. Service excellent. Food very tasty. Well done!!!. 5 from me!!!

Fast , friendly and great taste. First time visiting today. Thanks

The chips were not quality standard and to say that this was lunchtime was not what was expected. Very soggy chips and lots of scrap ends.

Get yourselves a card machine and a name over the shop might help for visitors

Fish was over cooked with the batter just crumbling off and the fish dry and the chips were soggy. It was a large order for 9 people but they got it wrong, leaving out a sausage and a bun that was charged for. We didn’t...

freshly cooked fish and chips. No grease! Good portions. Would definitely use again when in the area.

The most delicious, freshly cooked, fish, chips & peas served with a smile! Just 7 minutes to closing and was offered a cod freshly cooked; absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend.

Warning-Cash only! Great food but does not take credit card!

Does not take credit cards! But does do good fish and chips. Would happily use again as long as I remembered to take cash.....

Beautiful fresh fish, great mushy peas and delicious chips. What more can I say? Will definitely go again!

After trying all the pubs & restaurants in the market place which were all booked up for evening meals (!) we restored to buying fish & chips from Friar Tucks. After waiting in a long queue ( galling but always a good sign) we were...

Asked for gluten free fish and chips today, delicious and well cooked.

Absolutely fantastic chips. The battered cheeseburger 🍔 is to die for. Travelled 120 mile round trip as this chippy is so good. (We used to have our caravan at Street head then moved to Flaxton)

5 of us tucked into fish and chips and sausage and chips on 1st June absolutely amazing. Was a bit apprehensive after some of the reviews but ours were great. Dry crispy batter over thick white cod. Old school chips definitely beef dripping and very reasonable price.

Really disappointed, got 2 fish and chips to takeaway. Obviously been hanging around too long in the heated display, the batter was thick and stodgy rather than crispy. One piece of fish was definitely off and uneatable, but by the time we realised we were 10 miles away and too late to take it back. Been before and it was good, so I am hoping this is a one off.

Ignore the Rude ignoramous reviews., lovely Food and lovely staff., End of😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just had fish and chip supper (for 4) from our local chip shop. Nine times out of ten the quality is unbeatable - unfortunately tonight was the one in ten: undercooked fish and “soggy” chips. And the portion sizes had been reduced! So disappointing. It’s...

Excellent services, best chippy around in a 30 mile radius, excellent prices and good portion sizes, best cod and chips around by far

We called in for fish and chips and were not dissapointed they were excellent, I would go as far as to say the best we have had for quite a while.

This is the best fish and chip shop ever, the fish is beautiful and the batter is outstanding. We come an hours drive to have fish and chips, well worth the ride ❤️

Good finger licking fish and chips

If you want to eat the best then try here. Well worth a visit. ........... ...... Plppougddtdgudghtgjtfhyfhugg6ygfguhhhhgggyggfsdghhifcghffhfgyffuvgggfggg . .

Great friendly service and large quality portions. Also serves cod which Masham and Middleham didn't.

Had cod and chips from here last year and they were great. No where near as good in fact pretty poor. Fish was very small, small amount of overcooked chips. Shame as they were great last time.

Just re-opened with social distancing measures in place. Some of the best fish and chips we have ever had (proper chips!) and really friendly service. Amazing value for money, will be back!

This takeaway fish and chip shop is very good. Good quality fish and crisp chips! Nice to sit and watch the world go by in Leyburn!!!

Nice crispy batter and tastey chips. Really nice white cod which was really fleshy. Saw the lady freshly batter the fish and prep new chips in the fryer for my order. Only reason I didn't give 5 ⭐ was that the shop closes at 20:00. Expected to open a little later.

While we live in the Dales we do not get to Leyburn that often, but had started to call in this fish and chip shop from time to time when passing through, though we will never be calling again! The staff were clearly trying to get rid of some 'bits' of fish offcuts that they had battered and fried to form one piece, and looked to off load it onto someone they assumed to be a tourist [which to my mind is even worse]. While they did manage to get rid of a substandard product and got to sell it at full price, they have lost out, as we will never purchase fish & chips here again. When I took the first fish back I was asked in a brusque manner "what's wrong with it?" as thought it was not obvious. The replacement they gave me was no better. In contrast, back in mid September we had really nice fish and chips. So, they can do it, but are keen to off load their mistakes onto customers they assume will never return: they are right we will never return. I would give this spot a miss unless you have no alternative.

Fabulous fish and chips, no frills shop but very tasty and excellent quality. Friendly staff would recommend

Pale soft chips which most pubs do better. Questionable Cod.

Absolutely amazing . I have to say best fish and chips I have had that are not in the visinty of a beach. Must say they are better than any I have had in Bridlington

Lovely old fashioned chip shop, friendly efficient staff, excellent chips, one to go back for in the centre of town.

Really good fish and chips. The smell of the cooking draws you in even if you are not very hungry Good service but sometimes there are queues

Absolutely disgusting. Dont know how they r still in business every single thing we bought went in bin after one bite. Never tasted anything so bad

Pleasant, and helpful staff. Clean and healthy environment. All accompanied by excellent 'FISH & CHIPS

Good fish, mrs enjoyed her fish cake butty. Very reasonable prices too. I thought it was good. I found Nothing to complain about... thanks for a nice lunch..

Lovely fish and chips my husband had the sausage and they were good too friendly staff as well would go there again if staying in the area

Absolutely awful fish like tough rubber- not fresh at all .Greasy chips.Will definitely give a miss and would not recommend.

Enjoyable fish & chips pleasant staff

You have to make your own mind up but we found the food total and utter garbage. Very dry and no flavour, waste of money. For us it's certainly one to avoid.

Always busy feeding locals and holiday makers . The great thing here is that you can ask for personal touches such as lightly battered fish or “ well done “ . Add in great mushy peas and real chips and those delightfully crunchy “ scraps “ and all fried to perfection . What’s no to love !

I have been visiting Fryer Tucks for above 15 years it deserves the Best Fish & Chip award for Yorkshire freshly cooked tasty generous portions. Alf

Had a fish supper, enough for 2! Fresh hot and tasty, quick and efficient service. Would go back again.

Crispy batter on the fish, just how I like it. No outside signage! Chips ok.

Top quality fish n chips in a lovely country village. Great selection to choose from. Called in for tea from a day out and really enjoyed them. Would visit again when we are in the area again.

Unfortunately we won't be returning for fish and chips! Or any other food from this chippy. Although the food was reasonably tasty despite too much batter on the fish, the staff were appalling, very rude and not very friendly. Perhaps they were just having a bad day, but still, it's not hard to pass a smile and a friendly gesture on!

Shared a portion of fish and chips for lunch while visiting Leyburn. Excellent. The batter was lovely and crispy and the chips best yet. We went into the shop again after we had eaten to tell the staff this.

Fantastic fish and chips, not soggy and great flavour. I recommend taking them to eat on The Shawl which is very close to the chippy

Excellent food . As you enter ask for options such as for light battered fish , or well done or haddock rather than cod . Great place here , freshly fried food as it’s a popular take away and so cooked food doesn’t linger long here . All served with a smile .

Cracking chippy, go there regularly, never disappointed.

Brilliant fish and chips and the scraps are amazing best chippy 🖒🖒🖒🖒

Best fish and chips,never disappointed ! Big portions. Tempting aroma,when you work,close. Proprietor,also sings !

Always nice to stop off for a fish supper, excellenty cooked and quick service, the best chippie by far in Lower Wensleydale !

We use this chippie regularly as we own a holiday home nearby. We've never been disappointed ! Adequate sized fish and generous portion of chips, with a wide ranging additional menu. Fish is battered lightly and cooked crisply - don't be off-put by the curious orange coloured batter. The staff are cheerfully pleasant, polite and helpful, even when the shop is busy. Nice Yorkshire folk !

'Too greasy', 'Disappointing' I have read in a couple of reviews. What?! These are among the best we have ever had anywhere. I think people are too used to the pale, dry offerings most chippies serve up nowadays! These are obviously cooked in superior fat.They also offer gluten free every day which is fantastic for my coeliac husband.

I am rarely disappointed with the fish and chips that come out of Yorkshire, but on this occasion I was sadly disappointed.

cod was very dry and batter was thick , heavy and greasy. chips ok ish. that;s all i can say i'm afraid

It's always dangerous claiming anywhere serves the best fish and chips, but I've visited a lot over the years and it's the best I've had and the people who serve you are really nice people who want to have a bit of fun with you.

Popped in just as they were closing. Lovely hot fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside chips. Good service

Good portion, reasonable prices. Good quality, we enjoyed our takeaway meal from here, staff were friendly and polite.

Called in for sausage and chips, the sausage batter was soggy and the meat had no taste. The chips were okay but not great. I asked for a box as the tray provided was to small for the portion. Moody female staff member mumbled that's...

Visited on a Monday night after a day out in North Yorkshire. Had fish & chips x 2, curry and peas and a battered sausage and chips and cans of lemonade and vimto. Fish was fresh and hot, chips were nice. Service was satisfactory if pefunctory. Perhaps being the only chippy in the area means they don't feel the need to try? In spite of this i'll visit again.
