Graveleys of Harrogate in Harrogate

It was excellent but it is now called Bradley's

Beautiful food and lovely staff. Good portion sizes.

The food was excellent and reasonably priced, and the service was efficient and friendly. Will visit again.

The best fish and chips I’ve eaten In years, light and crispy batter, nice flakey Haddock, good chips, we got the special which is a big portion we couldn’t finish it. fast friendly service, felt welcome and will definitely come back when next in town.

Changed its name to Bradley's, walked past it twice until we realised this was the restaurant we were looking for.very nicely decorated restaurant,you can get takeaway next door or dine in restaurant,we opted for restaurant,chose haddock chips and peas fab meal best fish and chips I've in years,wish we were older great silver years offer,also great service very friendly.

Went here for the first time in many years last night, was lovely fresh food. My mum got the fish pie and she said it was lovely, I got fish and chips and it was all very fresh and delish. Normally, this sort of food makes me feel very bloated and a bit nauseas (worth it tho) but their food did not. It wasn’t overly greasy and tasted just so fresh. Will 100% be back. My only suggestions would be to advertise you are dog friendly and invest in an online booking system! We planned on bringing our dog and the restaurant were happy to accommodate, but I had to call up to book and check they were happy for us to bring her. Not a big deal whatsoever but personally I prefer an online bookings system. Oh… and please get coke not Pepsi 😉

Had haddock, chips and peas. The fish itself was great quality, but the batter undercooked and a bit soggy in places. Chips were a bit undercooked too. Peas were great. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

No fish cakes and no cod. Disappointed. However I had the scampi instead. Lovely. Never heard of a chippy having no cod.

If you state you are open until 20:30 do NOT close at20:10. People make plans based upon what you publish. Very disappointing!

We had a wonderful tea here. 2 portions of haddock and chips. The batter is to die for. Fish tasty and chips were very good.

Lovely place to have an early evening meal with our 5 year old grandson. Thanks.

Best fish and chips I’ve ever had! The batter was crispy and the fish so full of flavour. We came as a large group and all left commenting how good the food was.

If you love fish you need to try this place

Very Satisfying Dinner. There are other Seafood Dishes available if a change from Fish and Chips is preferred. Good value for money. Efficient Service.

Although we didn’t have a table booked we were seated without any fuss, thanks for that. Our fish and chips were perfect! Then the biggest surprise…. 2 for 1. Wonderful fish and chips for an amazing price. Worth coming from Germany for that.

Best fish and chips and the staff were brilliant!

Best fish and chips in Harrogate. The cod is so white and flaky, not too greasy either. Had on multiple occasions and always lives up to expectations!

Delicious lemon sole and chips. Super offer. Great to have Graveleys in business again.

Prices 2fof 1 ,three Adults and a child F/ chips tea bread butter £32 .Staff first class.

Cool place good for fish and chips 🍟

A cracking grilled jumbo haddock and chips and a lovely fish pie. Nice restaurant and staff.

Our table was booked for 6pm the waitress took our order,we seemed to be waiting a while,another waiter asked if our order had been taken,we said yes half an hour ago they then came with our tea,our waitress came and asked who took our order,when i said that she did,she didn't know what to say came back with some excuse of there was a back up of orders,funny how people that had come in after us were served and eating there meal before we even got ours. When it did finally come it was very nice ,lovely fish and chips. But the service was appalling!!

Lovely staff and lovely food. A bargain 2 for 1

Almost perfect and still one of the best fish and chips in harrogate. The food was great , fish was to perfection , also bagged a fish cake which tasted amazing (not the two slabs of potato, but fish and potato mashed and mixed, was one of the best I’ve had in years). The only slight thing, and it’s personal is I prefer my chips more cooked , again nothing wrong it’s a personal preference). Will defiantly be revisiting for another treat.

Quick service. Food was excellent. Special offer on as well. Probably the best fish and chips we have had in a long time. Perfectly cooked fish, chips and mushy peas.. 💖

Excellent fish and chips. 2 for 1.meal deal ,Brill.

We were part of a large party and the organisation was perfect. Upon arrival, I asked if my salad could have no cucumber and it was sorted at the last minute.

Worst take away fish and chips I have had had in a long time. Swimming in oil. Struggled through the fish but had to chuck away the chips. Did not feel at all good after eating the fish and tried to get rid of the fat taste by drinking copious cups of tea. /Good that others have had a better experience. It will be some time before I summon up the experience to go again.

Return every year for the Famous Haddock and chips. It never disappoints. Limited beer options but otherwise nice time and will return again.

By far the best fish & chips I’ve ever had ! Lovely big flakes of delicious cod , worth every penny, just a pity we live almost 2 hours away .. if ever we are in Harrogate again, we would definitely return, highly recommended

I wanted to say my bad experience this evening with home delivery, package arrived open without any seal to close the package, the box inside was clearly open and miserable as if the food was missing and then after spending 16 pounds it wasn't delivered to me not even the drink ordered and paid for. I can understand the delay because it is Saturday evening, but try to be careful with your orders and contact competent people for deliveries.

We’re new to Harrogate & this review is with thanks to the late Micheal Parkinson , he knew a good chippy ;)

Excellent fish restaurant. Great food and good service. Very friendly.

Excellent fish restaurant with friendly service. Cooking really good.

Had to wait for 2o mins to take our order, ordered 2xsenior meal deals which was haddock and chips with bread and butter, tea or coffee and pudding for £15 which we thought was great, took about 20mins for food to turn up, no bread and butter, ask waitress she said it was optional, but on menu in black in white says its included, menus where taken away at the point of order but when i got back home had a look online, it says included, not good! Also ask if we wanted any sauces, we ask for ketchup that didn't turn up either. Although the food was good, the service was poor, more training needed. Very disappointed 😥

Got to be the best fish n chips in town

Really lovely meal, highly recommend we will definitely be back.

Visited Harrogate and stumbled across Graveleys and it was quite a find Thoroughly enjoyed a sea food risotto, prepared and presented beautifully. Reasonably priced, and service friendly and efficient. Should we return to Harrogate will definitely seek this restaurant out.

Our first time back to Graveleys since reopening and it was great. The fish and chips were delicious and really enjoyed the 2 for £9 on their cocktails. Service was excellent and all the staff were very friendly. Even went out of their way to go and buy some more pineapple juice for the cocktail that I wanted. Definitely coming back for more.

It's so good that this Harrogate fixture has returned. They turn 'Fish and Chips' (and more) into 'Haute Cuisine' (that's Yorkshire for right yummy).

Marked down because of 6 unruly children just being loud and obnoxious. The parents did very little to control them which made our experience not such a good one. Saving grace the food was excellent, the staff were attentive without asking if everything was ok every 5 minutes. Highly recommend and my hubby said fish and the batter was best he’d had and we have fish and chips regularly so that says something! A lovely evening ruined by annoying kids who just ran wild.

Awesome place and awesome food and service

Great very friendly service, lovely food, highly recommend

Excellent fish and chips, eat in or take away.

First trip to Harrogate and we came across this Restaurant. We weren't going to go in as it seemed quiet but we are so glad we did. The food was out of this world. We had Fish and Chips and OMG hats off to the Chef it was amazing. The best fish and chips I've ever had . So fresh it was like it was caught an hour before. Not to mention the desert.The front of house staff / waitress were so accomatading . It was so hot outside yet they made use feel comfortable. And cool ,and couldn't do enough for use. The Restaurant had a pleasant vibe and was aire. After a day of walking and sight seeing it has the most comfortable seating too. A definite 5 *****and a must visit. We will be back

Excellent food and friendly service.

Traveled to Harrogate as it says on their website that it is open on a Sunday until 8:30pm. Was disappointed to find it was closed as were all the other people we witnessed who arrived after us. Come on Graveleys, update your website!!!

Very good fish and chips, reasonably priced. Pleasant staff.

Solid. We got the Large (no chips), and a small with chips. I'm not usually a fan of chips but these were pretty good. First time in a while where you can taste the seasoned batter vs just a greasy slab of fried crispy stuff. Fish tasty and wasn't overcooked. This is the one.

The fish and chips were great!!! And, the service was polite and relatively fast.

Outstanding fish and chips, and an outstanding pot of tea, it’s so good I gave it at every opportunity when we are up..

A very friendly restaurant, and they know how to cook proper fish and chips

Was so happy they have reopened, havn't had better fish and chips since they sold the business. Tried new owners not a patch on them. Had my favourite dish Whitebait, lovely thin crispy batter followed by the best cod and chips in Yorkshire. We have regularly visited Harrogate for many years on shopping trips and lunch here was what we enjoyed the most, since they closed and Covid, we have only been a few times but we will be going very regularly again, thanks to Graveleys, Welcome back.

Don't take any notice of the advertised opening times on the main website. It is closed on Monday and different times on other days. The website is out of date.

Fantastic customer service and food

If you've read my review on The Guy Fawkes Arms at Scotton, you'll know my neighbours (and I) are investigating and assessing pubs/restaurants suitable for Christmas lunch 2023. Erm, assuming they are open on the day of course. Our second restaurant for assessment was Graveleys on Cheltenham Parade (rear of the theatre). Most of us had been to the 'old' Graveleys in past decades. We visited Graveleys on Wednesday 29th March 2023 between about 17:20 and 18:40. We had been to see 'Allelujah' at the cinema beforehand. Not a film any of us could recommend. Our group consisted of 5 persons: 3 female, 2 male. Of whom, 4 were 60+ and one 50+. We hadn't booked a table but, I think, as popularity will no doubt increase, it would be advisable for groups to book. After a 2 minute wait, we were shown to a 6 seater table. Perfect for us. We were presented with a selection of menus. We all chose from the Early menu. There was a special menu for, erm, what's the PC term today for people of retirement age, OAPs? But no one chose from this menu. For starters, 3 of us had the battered tiger prawns with chilli sauce and 2 had prawn cocktail. Everyone agreed - no complaints. Starters were tasty, not huge (just right size for a starter). As for the main course, 4 had cod and chips, with 1 awkward sod having haddock and chips. Again, food passed with flying colours. Tasty, well presented. No complaints. We all chose from the 'Early' menu. Two courses for £19. (Three courses £25.) Two of our group shared a pot of tea and two had a pint of beer. Wine was available. Everything was spotlessly clean. The toilet was immaculate. Layout of everything, tables, bar, toilets, etc. looked pretty much identical to pre -pandemic times. Atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. Staff were (reasonably) efficient, helpful and attentive, without being annoying. Score out of 10? Probably an 8. It would have earned a 9 easily but for the following points. (Again, I stress I'm a grumpy old git.) 1. A pot of tea for 2 should, by default, include a separate pot of hot water. To their credit, we asked for a pot of water and it was brought immediately. 2. In a restaurant dedicated to fish and chips, it should not be necessary to request tomato ketchup. Again, to their credit, two pots of ketchup were supplied on request. But only 2 pots. For 5 people? A pot for each person should have been supplied, automatically. Fortunately ketchup was not supplied in little plastic pouches (ugh) which was a relief! 3. The menu should state explicitly and unambiguously that a serving of mushy peas is £2 extra. Alternatively, just include mushy peas or normal peas as standard and raise the two course price to £20, if needed. This caused a little confusion when paying for the bill but was settled amicably. To be fair, Graveleys has just recently reopened so minor teething troubles might be expected. And I am nit picking! I look forward to visiting Graveleys again soon. And I think my neighbours would agree.

Just been here for a meal. Very nice and staff were really pleasant would highly recommend.

Very disappointing, batter wasn’t crispy, chips tasted greasy and not fresh, curry sauce was very watery and bread bun stale.

Great find. Went for a drive to Harrogate on a wet night and stopped here for tea. Very welcoming, great menu. Chose a 2 course early bird and everything was delicious. We will definitely be back.

Best fish and chips in Harrogate.

Haddock and chips, delicious. Highly recommended.

I’m so happy it’s back and I’m so glad and I’m so happy and I’m so glad.

Welcome back to town , we missed you .

Staff pleasant. Chips were really nice. Mushy peas were lukewarm. Fish, which should be the star of the show in a fish restaurant was awful. Batter rock hard and a tiny scraping of fish inside.

Takeaway fish & chips, Monday evening: the worst I've ever had! Fish was leathery, impossible to cut through at the edges, no more than luke-warm, and the chips were tepid and greasy. Plus I was overcharged by £2.20 until I pointed it out. This place has got a lot of catching up to do before it gets anywhere near Graveley's old standards, I'm afraid.

Food was excellent. Lovely restaurant, some really creative ideas on the menu. Fish was super fresh and cooked extremely well

We had a lovely meal here with friends one evening in late August 2021. We sat outside which was a nice area and we had the early evening sunshine on us.All of the food was great. I had swordfish, part of the day's fresh catch, which was served with seafood curry, coriander rice, monkfish pakora and raita. It was all beautifully cooked and tasty. I wished we lived closer as we would eat here often.

Why oh why do chefs feel the need to soak dishes in cream, especially something such as smoked haddock and leak risotto which by nature is creamy enough and one orders it to try and be healthy? Had the £13 two course set lunch which is good value with a good choice. The smoked salmon was excellent and my wife's mussel dish was equally good with some nice crisp fries. All in all the place is very good and the fish and chips being served looked excellent. I find it hilarious that someone from Essex could be critical of Yorkshire fish and chips. Fair play to them they took the criticism of the risotto and did not charge me for it.

Went here while in Harrogate on business stop over - I love a good fish and chip sit down meal, and was quite looking forward to it. The restaurant on a Sunday night had three out of maybe 23 tables occupied. I order traditional haddock and chips with mushy peas. I don't like a lot of chips and told the lady that took my order .......the order came with lots of chips. The fish in its batter looked big. The bread and butter I ordered was forgotten. .I cut into the fish, which was nice, however there was more batter than fish. The mushy peas were served in a large pot and was way too much, they also were tasteless..I think this place relies on people coming to Harrogate for trade fairs etc, as I was.A few people had recommended this place - but under a previous name. I would not recommend it. Overpriced but mainly tasteless - not sure they care much either. Just going through the motions.

Has changed hands since we last ate there, but things have only improved from a high base . Friendly manager squeezed us in, even though they were full. We expected to have to wait, but were served almost straight away. Food was excellent and they even do a knickerbocker glory. It may look like a chip shop with seats, (I suppose that it is) but it is so much more than that. Very highly recommended.

Really lovely food, my husband had the salmon and new potatoes and I had the haddock and chips. Only dropped one point as service was a little slow considering the restaurant wasn’t busy but we would definitely return next time we are in Harrogate.

Came here at lunch for a take away fish and chips. It was very expensive to what I've paid at other places. Chips were lukewarm, but the fish was gross! Loads of batter and not much fish, which made it very tasteless

We wanted a quick bite to eat unexpectedly . I usually trawl reviews before I pick a restaurant . However this was unexpected . The food was fabulous . Really great scampi and fish and chips .. washed down with a bottle of Prosecco . Service was with a HUGE smile and very attentive . Well done !

To describe Catch as a fish and chip shop, would be like describing Betty’s as a “greasy spoon”. It came highly recommended and it mostly lived up to the hype.It’s got a good location, on a street in Harrogate that has a lot of competitors, offering multiple cuisines. Catch has lots of attractive outside tables, which as we approach Autumn, may not be quite the draw. Sitting inside is no bad thing though. It is clean, modern but not without soul. The aroma’s from the fryer get the gastric juices flowing nicely.On our visit we were presented with a couple of menus. What could be called the main menu and a selection of alternative fishes on another. From this menu we both ordered Cod, which was served roasted and not coated with batter. My wife isn’t too fond of batter and if she does eat the more traditional fish and chips, spends most of her time pulling off the stuff. So full marks to Catch for offering fish prepared in a non-traditional way. The large(ish) chunks of Cod were beautifully prepared and tasted delicious. My wife had her Cod with all the trimmings but I was feeling really “fooded-out” after ten days of restaurant meals, so asked for the Cod just to be supplied with mushy peas - which it was. Full marks.We had a bottle of Gruner Veltliner with the meal, (excellent), which was another way that Catch rises above the standard “Chippy” mould - wine on offer.Desserts were OK but didn’t really match up to the main courses. I had something called a Strawberry Jam Fritter which wasn’t bad but was lacking in the prime ingredient - Strawberry Jam. Well there was jam in there but applied rather parsimoniously. Had some complained about it being too sweet? Whatever the reason, the jam was spread as thinly as Marmite. My wife moaned about a lack of fruit in her Knickerbocker Glory. She expected something along the lines of her youth, with a delicious mix of fruit salad, ice cream and whipped cream. Not bad but the fish was the star and not the average desserts.If you’re looking for a place that rises above the traditional “chippy” but costs less than a much more expensive, high-end fish restaurant - Catch should be your destination.

Not been here before in this incarnation so we're curious to see how it rated.We had tempura prawns and mussels for starters followed by fish pie and fish with salad ( as opposed to chips) . All food was of a high standard and arrived in a timely manner. The service was good but not exceptional and where we sat could have been cleaner ( the drinks menu was wet ).Overall we were very pleased with the food and service but for the price we paid it could have been better.

The restaurant and take away looked busy and so I was hopeful. We decided on a take away as parking seemed to be a challenge and although my order and money was taken after a few minutes the wait that followed was far from acceptable. Two members of staff serving with one focused on the Deliveroo orders and the other clearly inexperienced and not being helped by ‘chefs’ from the other side of the fryers taking prepared food from the counter including the chips as quickly as they were cooked. Eventually after 20 mins I had an apology for the delay (more than 30 mins in total) but still no sign of food as the deliveries and restaurant meals were being handed past me. When we did get our meal the order was wrong and the quality not good. Small fish in lots of batter, runny tasteless curry sauce and tepid chips. Staff not wearing masks and no screens. Not somewhere we will return to.

Have visited this restaurant several times before but not since it became part of the Catch chain. The fish was always excellent before and it still is. Will be back on my next visit to Harrogate.

Visited on the last evening of our holiday in Harrogate. Decor of the restaurant is lovely - muted colours with a ‘hanging garden’ effect from artificial greenery. We dined early and the restaurant wasn’t busy. Efficient table service from very pleasant staff. We both ordered haddock, chips and mushy peas. It arrived quickly and looked huge, however looks were deceptive. The battered fish was mainly batter - and not very nice batter at that. The fish inside was very small, dry and pretty tasteless - there was a lot of airspace between the fish and the very thick, hard batter. My chips were ok, but my husband seemed to have a plate of chip-bits - like the fryer had been scraped out! Mushy peas served in a separate pot were fine, as was the tartare sauce. I was so looking forward to my dinner, but was disappointed. COVID measures: sanitizer was available on entry, staff not wearing masks.

5 of us went to celebrate my partners birthday. I had the prawn and crab nachos to start and fish pie for main. Bloody lovely! The mussels were great too! Would highly recommend. And lovely staff too!

Really nice seafood restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Food upis fresh and the menu is inventive.

We thought the food was just as good as Graveleys used to be but with smarter decor. Excellent fish and chips and not too expensive. Service was a little slow.

Very warm friendly welcome from Richard , first time I have visited this lovely restaurant.Fish and chips out of this world, quality and portion very good.Extremely comfortable seating, nice wine, which is very important to me, beautifully, clean toiletsWill definitely be recommending to my friends far no wideA place not to be missed

Fish and chips very disappointing - and expensive our local chippie is far superior shame, As Graveleys were so good

An evening out with friends in our local town.We thought we’d try Catch as it’s somewhere new.My husband and our friends all had the traditional fish and chips, they all really enjoyed and said they were delicious. I ordered the swordfish in a seafood sauce with rice and a monk fish pakora. I was so disappointed that it was overcooked and dry, not wanting to make a fuss I just ate the swordfish and left the pakora to one side. When the waiter asking if everything was ok I mentioned to him that the pakora was too well done and dry to eat , he just said oh “ok” ?!Not interested in the slightest. No apology?! Needless to say we won’t be visiting again, maybe just for takeaway fish and chips!

Wonderful! I would have liked cod in batter! Quality drinks, and an excellent choice of fish. Will be returning to Harrowgate as soon as possible just to eat at Catch.

We enjoyed excellent food and service from polite, friendly and helpful staff. The swordfish was perfect.

We had monkfish, prawns and haddock. Monkfish was spicy and meaty. Prawns in crunchy tempura batter-yum. Haddock was haddock with chips, nothing left on our plates. Guest Ale was truly scrumptious. Good effort.

Fantastic meal amd service. Well worth a visit. The service was great. We had fish platter. And numerous starters. Couldn't fault in any way

We dined on the covered terrace and the knowledgeable waiter gave good recommendations. We all really enjoyed the well prepared and unusual menu from an obviously skilful chef and we wouldn’t hesitate to return when next visiting Harrogate.

Great fish Restaurant with lovely staff and menu. You can get anything from fish and chips to oysters and shell fish. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the surroundings smart and modern. Wish we had something this good in Godalming, Surrey.

Lovely fish and chips you should definitely try here when you are in Harrogate lovely place lovely staff

Anyone going here who were regulars at Graveley's will be very disappointed. £29 for haddock & chips plus 2 soft drinks. I wanted an apple juice but they were out of stock (lunchtime). The only other options for a fruit drink were orange, pineapple or cranberry. The fish was very nice but far too much batter, bitty chips and very greasey. 2 ladies left before ordering as they were obviously expecting the senior specials which are no longer available under the new ownership. I would not recommend and I will not be returning.

Originally visited this restaurant a few years ago and was impressed . The recent change in ownership has not affected the overall dining experience. As our visit was during Covid-19 restrictions we booked ahead for peace of mind but there was plenty of room to walk in on spec.The waiters were attentive, smart and polite and the food was very good. We also appreciated the very tasteful interior modern furnishings and corporate style decor and colour scheme.It is certainly an affordable reasonably priced eatery when compared with other more well known fish eateries in the Yorkshire region. Would recommend a visit both as a perfect lunchtime break or an evening treat as it is in a perfect central location amenable to all the other daily attractions Harrogate has to offer.Would have given 5 out of 5 if they had online offers and discounts to further encourage footfall with potential for regular customers.

Saw how busy this place was so decided to visit the following night (cancelled a reservation @ The Ivy to do so).The menu looked great, and we all the Monkfish wings (with the blue cheese sauce which was a strange combination) and crab and prawn nachos to start which was lovely and had the fish pie for mains.The glasses of wine were both quite warm which had to be replaced. My main grumble was the manager (I assume he was??) quite a large build chap dressed in all black was just very unfriendly and not particularly welcoming when we first arrived. He showed us to our table and just seemed off and he subsequently ignored me when I said goodnight at the end of the evening. The place evidently does employ a large number of young waiting staff, but he needs to be a far better role model to these other staff members (potentially he was having a bad night??) .I appreciate he may have had a manic night, but basic friendliness really are part and parcel of his role.Would happier have rated this place higher had he been more engaging.

Very disappointed. Fish and chips all precooked and dry. The same you would get at a take away fish and chip shop if you bought it in the middle of the afternoon when they are not busy and the fish and chips have laid there for ages. Awful.

Bought a take away fish and chips this evening and was taken back at the price! But thought it must be worth it so went ahead...Get back home to a dried up looking fish covered in cheap batter! If you are going to charge them kind of prices then the product needs to match! My advice to anyone... go to drakes in Starbeck or even the new one on chain Lane in Knaresborough! This place is crap.

My wife just bought takeaway fish and chips for us both. Was cold. Extremely disappointing. Never had a problem pre-change of ownership having used them for years. Whoever is in charge of basic standards must surely be asleep at the wheel sending out food in this cold condition? Wont be going back.

A fantastic meal and the staff were all outstanding. A beautiful fish pie for the boss and Sea Bass with monkfish pakora, rice and curry sauce for me. A 10 out of 10 from us and we'll be back next time we are in Harrogate.

Absolutely gorgeous, couldn't decide what to choose, so shared 2 starters and a 'posh fish & chips' main, cannot wait to return!

A little pricier than other fish and chip restaurants but well worth it! The portion size was huge and the service was equal to the high quality food. Well done Catch !
