Happy Haddock in York

For a truck driver it was like finding an oasis in a desert 🏜️🏝️, the fish and chips were lovely and I demolished the lot with great pleasure, I will also be spreading the word to other truckers.

El servicio amable y la comida era preciosa. Chips de buen sabor. Fácil de encontrar en la carretera principal en el coche. Puede comprar bebidas frías aquí. Las opciones incluyen pescado de eglefino, salchicha, pastel de pescado o tarta.

A really nice surprise to find this fish and chip shop in a layby off the a19 near Escrick on the way home from work. Very nice welcoming couple. Chatted to everyone. They take your order on arrival. Sausage and chips for me. Excellent. I will be definitely coming back when I am in the area again next month. Ample parking. Disabled access and toilets.

Nice food. I recommend going large on the fish.

Una noche de verano después de una visita a York como turista o corredor se concluye con simplemente maravilloso eglefino y patatas fritas recién cocinadas. Comer es afuera en bancos, así que se recomienda un control del tiempo. Una joya.

Un poco apartado del centro pero de fácil acceso. Puede ser que haya cambiado de dueños en comparación con otros comentarios anteriores (lo desconocemos). La cantidad grande, pero tanto el pescado como las patatas, un tanto aceitoso. La mayor parte de la clientela era para llevar o de paso.

El personal muy amable, buena comida de sabor, no tuvo problemas para dividir los pagos por un pedido grande y se ofreció a ayudarme a llevarlo al coche cuando tenía dificultades. Gracias!

Can't comment as it closes fairly early and I only pulled into lay-by for a beak

Vino aquí y no fue decepcionado. Las tartas son preciosas, la pastelería se derritió en tu boca, lleno de carne. patatas fritas eran patatas nuevas y se cocinaron maravillosamente. propietarios muy amables. charlaron sin parar. sin duda volveremos de nuevo cuando en la zona.

We all have busy days But The Happy Haddock is advertised as OPEN for business till 7.30pm On a Wednesday Called for fish and chips at 7.00 pm Waited for the lady to finish her obviously important conversation then asked for food Told she wasn’t cooking !!!!!! I won’t be going ever again This isn’t the first time I’ve been told this No customer service Not bothered If that’s the attitude the food carnt be up to standard either Please people don’t waste your time

Lovely Haddock and and chips. Owners really friendly and chatty. Exceptionally clean and tidy inside. 5 star rating. Definitely will be returning and recommending

The food was excellent, spam fritter to die for...

Fish was good. Chips were also good. Kids meals were good. As fast as you'd expect when cooking fish made to order. Great little spot. Only issue were the mushy peas which had little taste. However will definitely visit again and will definitely recommend this chippy.

The fish and chips from here are the best ive ever had also first time I had a spam fritter 👌can't wait to go again all the family said the same thing

Called in for a couple of fish butties. Warm friendly greeting from the owners. Great fish with a crunchy light batter. Would recommend to all.

Suburb fish and chips with scraps on Cooked to order ,friendly owners .Lovely place to sit outside Highly recommended Cash only

Freshly cooked while you waited. Best fish and chips I've ever had!

lovely fish and chips near our home, friendly couple - food is always delicious would recommend the chips with curry sauce x

Pulled into the lay-by at happy haddock today to take a break from a long drive back from York instantly opened up the car door and the smell was like we was back at the seaside, so tempting, we ended up going, with a lovely greeting and great customer service and a nice chat with the staff to honestly been served the best two medium fish and chips me and my partner have had in years! And even a lovely children's meal and drink that my daughter loved! Definitely recommend going and we cannot wait to go back again!

I only manage to get there at certain times as I live 200 miles away. It's nearly always closed when I get there, and I know it's been closed for some time due to structural issues however caught them open the other day and the fish and chips were delicious along with the scraps. Piping hot and a great portion. Well done!

Excellent food fish cooked to order and chips are very tasty as well. Dave and Jas are a very personable couple. Pricing and variety of fare very good

The chips and scampi were fine however the fish had a strong Ammonia smell to it. I couldn’t eat it as that is a a sign of spoilt fish. That’s just not acceptable.

We drove past this place on the way to our holiday cottage and went back to get some food once we got settled in. Food was lovely and freshly cooked and we will certainly be back when next in York. Fish was beautifully cooked and the chips were really good. Cash only so had to pop to the services 5 minutes down the road and use the cash point so take cash when going Lovely to see locals in there too and great to see a chip shop offering batter bits!! 👌🏻

The fish was not haddock, it was grey and slimy! Cheap Pollock or something similar. Hard and overcooked. Not worth the money. Chips and mushy peas were nice. Serve Haddock as advertised not a cheap alternative!

Smashing fish & chips and really nice people too. I’ve been meaning to try these for some while, last night I had opportunity, lovely Crispy batter and perfect chips straight out of the pan, loads of salt and vinegar, recommend 👍

The only reason we are not giving 5 stars is due to the portion size which was a bit small for the price. The chips were as good as, if not better, than chips from the more popular outlets in Whitby. Being situated on the side of a busy road so you can stop quickly is a bonus and the owners were very polite and friendly.

Would be better if it was ever open

Super friendly, all cooked fresh. Brilliant food!

Closed due to building damage. Someone needs to remove the sign that says open!

Wow wow wow.. Although from the outside it's just a pull in lay-by... Make sure you stop here... Fish and chips like you've not had in years... Fresh fish,,, crunchy batter and batter bits to go on your chip butty....

The cheapest and best for miles around. Always go here if passing on the A19. Tasty fish cooked fresh to order (with scraps) by very nice and talkative staff. Everything is tasty. 5 stars.

Great fish and chips, unfortunately they use beef dripping instead of oil. The sign at the premises says open until 7.30 but on here it says 8pm, not hard to change.

Great fish and chip shop, everything freshly cooked, fantastic curry sauce the best I have ever had from a chip shop and lovely staff to boot. Can't recommend enough, if you are anywhere near go and give it a try, you won't be disappointed

Lovely food good quality & value for money. Can't believe they've been there 17 years lovely people 😊

Good quality food with caravan accessible parking.

Some of the best fish n chips I've ever had. Light, crispy batter,. Plenty fish and tasty chips.

Shocking customer service they don't know there own prices and anger the public by over charging them no card payment but the chips were nice

Provided delicious fish & chips

Not been for a while as I live 140 miles away but still very enjoyable

Really good. So friendly. Cooked to order

Don't take card. What a disappointment.

Cash only tax dodgers, not a month ago nobody would touch money. Now theese want cash only, dont go near them

A 'Cash Only' notice on the outside would save you queueing for 20 mins to find the teeny tiny notice behind the counter!!

Everything is fresh and delicious...unfortunately, you can't pay by credit card!

Best Fish and chips ever. If your passing and it's open and you like fish and chips it's a must to stop. These are up there with the top chippies. Forget the magpie at Whitby !!!

Very nice, all freshly cooked by a husband and wife team.

Loved the freshly fried fish but the chips were a mix of fresh and old. The north's idea of a large mushy peas is a small in Leicester.

Covid rules followed nice fish and chips 🍟 😋

Always good at the Happy Haddock

Always lovely fresh fish in crispy batter, freshly fried to order and chips are pretty good too. Lovely couple giving great service. We are regulars!

Great staff , lovely haddock and chips with scraps would recommend.

Visiting this evening, excellent social distance rules in place, totaly spotless.. The fish and chips were the best I had for a long time.. Absolutely beautiful Thank you.

Friendly staff and great service

Often stop off after my lads Saturday morning football. Great fish n chips. Dont arrive to late. The fryers go off 15minutes before closing.

These must to be the best tasting fish and chips in Selby, friendly service from the ladies behind the counter.

Nice fish and chips and great that can park out side it.

Delicious Fish and Chips, fried fresh to order. Plenty of parking space and very convenient location on our way home.

Freshly cooked fish and chips, delicious! All the usual sausages,scampi,pies etc. Also good children's meals including a drink and toy. Highly recommended

Lovely haddock and chips. Would definitely recommend.

Expensive for not good quality food

I love this shop the owners are very friendly and the food is top notch too

Great fish and chips and very polite owner

Good food but sometimes overly greasy

Has got to be the best fish and chips in the area or even further afield. Friendly staff where your food is prepared when you enter the premises. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Food was nice but the portions are small and it's quite expensive plenty of parking as it's in a large lay by

Called at the Happy Haddock yesterday(20th September) at ten past one all they had was sausage and chips and the friers were all turned off when they don't close until one thirty. I've never known a food establishment that does that. It was the first time I've seen it open will not be calling again

Nice fish and chips. Fish always cooked to order so be prepared for a short wait, but well worth the wait!

Absolutely gorgeous fish and chips! Loved it!!

Fantastic fish and chips Fantastic staff Cash only

Delicious and very friendly fish and chip shop

Great staff very helpful I have to say that the chips we're great really nice didn't have the fish but they look nice

Great fish and chips from a very popular little shop.prepare to wait a short while to be served and your patience will be well rewarded

You often find people queuing out of the door and happy to do so. Well worth the wait.

Great chippy, food is brilliant. It's normally very busy so get there early or expect to wait a while!

Best fish n chips around anywhere!!!

Always fresh, always good... fish and chips as they should be.
