Harry's Fish Bar & Restaurant in Harrogate

Absolutely fabulous fish and chips, nothing better than in good weather to sit at the bench and tables outside in the square and watch the world go by

Lovely fresh chips, quick service. Cash only, which I find weird, like maybe some creative tax accounting? As card fees are probably less than the cost of handling cash, as well as quicker and cleaner. But can't fault the food.

As a sixty year old buffer, it's safe to say that I've had a lot of chippy teas.....this is in the Premier League and make no mistake. The batter on our fish was the lightest I have ever tested. Absolutely exquisite

Masham is a place where it feels as if time hasn't moved on much, and this fish and chip shop matches that with its quaintly decorated restaurant section, plain and simple serving area and prices that are still relatively low compared with similar eateries in the Midlands or south. (NB they only take cash, but this is all in the interest of keeping prices down, so make sure you take some out before travelling!) Service is prompt with the down-to-earth friendliness to be expected in Yorkshire. The portion of fish was generous, the batter was light and crisp, the chips were a pleasing combination of chunky and fluffy without being soggy. Also generous was the pot of tea - I couldn't finish it, so I would suggest that if you're visiting as part of a group, ordering one for the table or one between two. There's a good selection of table sauces in sachets, and you can order your favourite extras (peas etc.) though the fish and chips went down well enough by themselves on this occasion. Definitely worth a visit, especially if you are en route to (or coming from) a tour of one of the breweries.

Had a takeaway from here whilst staying in Masham, ate them in the square , absolutely delicious, £8.50 each we thought good value 👍

Bloody lovely! Good portion, well cooked fish, triple cooked chips, yum! Defo recommended. Someone reviewed saying they’re expensive - fish and chips was £8.50 which is a good price.

The most amazing fish and chips on the planet! Quaint, friendly service with absolutely delicious food. Don’t miss this place!

We had visited druids temple and was looking for a bite to eat, the queue for the chip shop was a good sign in my opinion and was worth the 10/15 minute wait to get our fish and chips! I had fresh haddock and chips and my partner had batterd sausage and chips. The curry sauce, mushy peas and gravy were also good. Would recommend

Absolutely the worst ever fish and chips ! Disgusting, cold, tasteless, tuff, unfresh, horrible ! Expensive for a goldfish size piece of fish with tasteless hard chips ! Stay clear buy elsewhere wish we did !

Decided yesterday that a break from all the Christmas Fare was needed and as we have called here many times the thought of nice fish and chips tempted us into the 10 mile drive. Before setting off we checked the web site opening times and double checked on Facebook, all good so down to Masham, what a let down to find it all closed up and a wasted journey, come on Harry’s keep your on-line and social media details up to date !

Having had many a good meal here we decided a change from all the Christmas Fare was in order, a quick check on their website and Facebook showed no problem so off we set a 10 mile journey, what a letdown to find it all closed up, thank you Harry’s for not amending your opening times on social media.

Call in today 17.11.23 at 12.30pm had fish and chips and a pot of tea. as we walked in we got a worm welcome from the fryer and after finding a table a lovely lady took our order. she was very friendly and nice big smile. the hole place was very clean and a nice fire was on in the room. the fish and chips were great really hot and cooked to the best iv had in years. on leaving even tho a Loy had come in the lady said good bye and for two fish and chip with tea it only came to £21.00. I will be back again next year..all the best to you all. look forward to next time

Fish and chips was ok. We asked for salt and vinegar and we couldn't taste any at all. Also, we ordered a curry sauce and after we'd driven back to our campsite we discovered the curry sauce was missing, which was disappointing. There was a single random onion ring wrapped up on its own in the bag, which was odd, but the guy serving seemed like he was in a mad rush so maybe the random onion ring was supposed to be our curry sauce.

Came to Masham for a few days break. Harry’s was not open until Tuesday so we had a takeaway and ate it on a bench. What a great experience the staff are really friendly, meal cooked whilst you wait and the haddock was simply the best we have had for many many years. Chips were brilliant and even the curry sauce was really good. If you are in the area make sure you go. The shop is only open for a few hours so check times first.

Excellent fish and chips for all the family. Couldn't fault ANY of it. Immaculate cooking and fresh as a daisy. 5 stars every day of the week.

Had travelled up to stay in Grewelthorpe so drove into Marsham around 6.30. Lovely evening so decided to have some fish and chips outside. The fish & chip shop was due to close at 7.00 but they kindly cooked some more fish and chips were also cooked to order. Sat outside in Marsham square and enjoyed the food.

Amazing fish and chips ! Crispy batter, tasty fresh white fish. Great service and value. We ate in the cafe and service was very fast and friendly.

Great fish cooked to order with crisp batter. Whole family loved it. Well worth the drive over from Bedale.

Came in for a takeaway and was not disappointed! Excellent service , excellent food! Fish cooked to order, only had to wait a few minutes! Fish was cooked perfectly! Crispy batter and the fish was cooked to perfection! Highly recommend !

Superb! Fabulous fish in a fabulous batter with fabulous chips! In a word - fabulous! And a lovely warm room to eat it in with a proper Yorkshire waitress. In a long life this is one of the best I have tried.

Only disappointment was that the restaurant was closed on Friday which we didn't know about. Fish was cooked fresh to order and the chips were excellent. Plenty of places to sit and eat them outside in the Market Square. Highly recommended.

I live approximately 15 miles away, but consider this one of, if not the best, in the locality. I visit probably 20x times a year on a take-away basis and can’t say that I have had a bad meal. I go for the Cod and my Wife often has the Scampi. Always friendly and look after their customers

We love Harry's chippy. Visit 2 or 3 times on our visits to Masham. Love the pies, fish but especially the scampi. Our fave part of the holiday, a chippy in the cottage with the log burner on. Roll on next time.

When we arrived in masham, after a day of walking, the cafes were closing and the chip shop had just opened. I joined the queue (always a good sign) and ordered chips and curry sauce. Reasonably priced and delicious. There is seating inside, but not...

First time yesterday after finding on TA. We ate in the sit-in area at the rear. Service was very quick from a lovely lady. We both had fish, chips and mushy peas and everything was faultless. Some of the best chips we have had and...

Best fish and chips in North Yorkshire fluffy crispy chips and fresh fish, only Chippy that I don’t waste the chips. I tell everyone to come try it out as they won’t be disappointed

Wow. Just had to say a massive thank for the best fish & chips. Hired a holiday home for a special birthday. Most guests had yet to sample proper Yorkshire Fish & Chips. Everyone was so delighted with them. We did pre order as there...

Some of the best fish and chips in North Yorkshire, excellent value and well worth a visit, will deffinately be back.

Had fish and chips with mushy peas and curry sauce, was excellent cooked fresh chunky white fish and crispy fluffy chips! Would highly recommend

Tried this "Chippy" last night, 18/05/22, and it didn't disappoint us in anyway. Coming from Hull that is full of "Chippys", we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the produce which was used. The fish was excellent and you could taste the freshness within...

Two perfect pieces of large succulent haddock, yummy mushy peas and moreish chips - you won't be disappointed by a take-away from here!

We tried Harry’s tonight for the first time and were very impressed. We live in Bedale but have given up on both local fish and chip shops after repeated bad experiences. We are really pleased to find a fish and chip shop that produces crispy...

Cooked to order as it’s off peak season, we tried the steak pie & chips and the fish & chips. The chips were good, the fish was all fish (no tail, very happy husband!) & the steak pie- wowww! Succulent steak chunks, really meaty gravy...

We ended up here last Tuesday as most other places were closed and were not disappointed. Excellent food and friendly owner.

Superb fish and chips. All cooked to order so everything was hot and they were perfect. Staff were great and only wish it was closer to home for a return visit!

We only sampled Harry's food the once whilst staying in Masham but it would take some beating to get any better,shame that the opening hours were limited during our stay as we would certainly have visited again.

I can’t agree with the last/recent review. We had 2 fish and chips where the fish and its batter were perfectly cooked and tasted great. You could tell it was fresh, rather than frozen. Chips were good too. All fish is cooked to order but...

Got a takeaway from here as there was nowhere else in Masham to get something to eat on a Friday night. Masham isn’t a good place to come to, as the choice of places to eat is very thin on the ground. The fish and...

Called at 17:45ish on a rainy Tuesday. Got the most delicious jumbo haddock, chips and peas. Efficient service (order your fish straight away). Freshly cooked, hot, perfect amount of salt and vinegar added and totally tasty. Thanks Harry.

Need to book ahead of time if you want to eat in as the owner needs more staff to wait on. Jumbo fish was excellent. Best batter of any chippy I’ve tried. Skimped a bit on the chips for takeaway but still filled us up....

Booked in for a family meal. We come from Grimsby so like to think we know what good fish and chips is and all I can say is is that Harry's is one of the best. Lovely food and service and would highly recommend to...

As alway an excellent trip to Harry’s for the best fish and chips in the north east. Well worth the trip to the area for fresh fish and delicious chips with a current CoVID friendly, efficient and helpful service. Thanks again. Will be back soon

Our second visit here whilst on holiday. We last visited a few years ago and couldn't resist trying them again whilst we were in the area. We weren't disappointed. The haddock and chips were absolutely delicious! Probably the best fish and chips that we have...

Very generous Very organised and Friendly definitely worth the money(not that much money).I would recommend going here

Looked at previous reviews and was not disappointed. Lovely tasty fish and chips, worth it. Sat in village square and enjoyed them.

Hubby had fish and chips here, said they were the best he had eaten in a long time. He said they were very fresh and nicely cooked. They cook them in beef dripping which probably added to their taste. I’m veggie so I didn’t have...

Whilst staying in Masham we decided to have a fish & chip supper on one of our nights and try Harry’s. Good decision! Located in the Market Square area it is a small independent but clearly well liked chippy. We had fish and chips, friendly...

Simply the best fish & chips in the area - drove out from Bedale & very well worth it!! Nice guy too…. Also had sausage & curry sauce…tasty!!

The very best fish, chips and curry sauce I've had for a very long time, all served in a bio-degradable tray. Sitting in Masham's lovely market square, in the warm evening sunshine, this was the perfect end to a day's walk.

Great value, a jumbo haddock was indeed jumbo, all freshly cooked to order, perfect fish, even more perfect batter, super super tasty chips. Staff were friendly and the service was very organised. I woke up the next day wanting to eat it all over again...

Good non fancy food and mum who served us was amazing. We had the restaurant to ourselves and Andy went out of his way to make it special for us.

Great fish and chips, cooked to order, lovely fish with very light batter and great chips. Really good value and perfect every time we visit, can’t wait to go back again and again. Really nice staff.

Went there usual lads tour North Chippy tea. Been before very nice fish chips Well nice good value. Lovely market town many table And chairs for use

Difficult times I know but very limited choice of fish could only offer haddock & had been cooked in advance to avoid people queueing which I can fully understand, fish was very dry though so disappointed after reading such positive reviews. After paying nearly £14 felt quality could have been better. On a positive note staff were very friendly & welcoming, very important to continue to support our local services.

Absolutely wonderful, tasty fish and chips - not at all greasy and plenty of them. I just wish we lived closer so we could have them more often!!

Delicious, come all the way from Cheshire to have our fish and chips, always great I have never had such good quality fish, lightly battered and cooked to perfection.

Great value and quality food , try the traditional fish and chips cant be beaten will be back again !

Absolutely delicious. Best chips we've had in a while. Portion is a good size, may need extra portion of chips if your sharing. £1 for v small bread roll was the most expensive and smallest ive ever been served so minus a point for this.

We think we come up to Yorkshire for fish and chips from Harry’s!!! Fantastic things in/around Masham, but the Fish and Chips is, as always, FAB-U-LOUS!!! During the week we enjoyed them twice......Next time it may well be three times!!!!!!!

we were staying in masham for a few days and visited harry's after seeing the reviews on here , we were not disappointed ! lovely fish and chips - good size portions and value for money .there always seemed to be a queue but all social distanced and it was one in one out inside .highly recommend !

We had both the fish and chips and the scampi, and both were excellent. We ordered by phone and the food was ready to collection at the right time. Recommended!

We were staying in Masham for a few days and had fish and chips on our final night. How glad we are that we did. We ordered by phone in advance and arrived at seven to collect. I was pleasantly surprised that the food was not already wrapped but was completed on my arrival. All four of us agreed they were the tastiest, freshest and most enjoyable takeaway fish and chips we’d ever had, and we’ve had a few. Service was great and all for less than £7 each. Thank you.people of Masham you’re very lucky!

Simply wonderful fish and chips, freshly cooked and pleasantly served as always. Good common sense social distancing in use in the shop too. Ate in the sunshine in the market square. Bliss.

Easy to order on the phone, ready on time, there was efficient and friendly service when we collected our meals and most importantly superb fish and chips.

Well worth a visit to Masham just to visit Harry’s. Fantastic fish, crispy batter, excellent chips and great portion sizes. Friendly service, ordered over the phone and ready on arrival. Perfect after a socially distanced walk.

Been here three times now. Every time they are excellent Fish and the chips, far too many, but that's Yorkshire portions for you. Not managed to catch the restaurant open yet, but you can sit outside or find somewhere to sit in the town square.The staff are very polite and friendly and shop is very clean all you need really. If you are anywhere near Harry's then make sure you try them. you will not be disappointed.

Had fish and chips, they must give you Yorkshire portions because i couldnt eat it all, great value for money

Excellent fish and chips. Very crispy batter on the fish and good portions of chips. Would recommend.

Visiting Masham for a long weekend, I wasn't familiar with Harry's, or it's excellent reputation before deciding to visit. The fish & chips we had were simply fantastic and were served efficiently and with old-school respect from a charming young man. Be sure to do yourself a favour and recalibrate your 'chippy yardstick' when visiting Masham.

We always get fish and chips from Harry's whenever we stay in the area. Nothing fancy just a really good product, the mushy peas aren't to my taste, but nobody is perfect.

I didn’t think there was much difference between chip shops. It turns out I was wrong! Just passing through Masham on way back home and spur of the moment decision to have fish and chips, so not even had chance to look at reviewsThe fish was freshly prepared and the chips were perfectly cooked. But the taste! Simply the best fish and chips we’ve ever had. Well done Harry

Having read the reviews, and being we were staying close by, I thought I would treat my family to a fish and chip supper. However, having popped into Harry's in Masham on a Tuesday one did not expect to find that they had a number of items on their relatively limited menu out of stock. So, we ended up with a large sausage and chips (nothing special there), a factory made Chicken and Mushroom pie (nothing special there either), a small Haddock and chips (as they don't serve Cod as it wasn't on the menu) and a curry sauce (which was chucked in the bin after the first dip of a chip...curry sauce was not good). So, nothing, not even the service, gave me the impression that Harry's Fish Bar was anything other than a very basic chippy.So, wont be going back here again and as an avid reviewer here on Trip Adviser and other review sites, Harry's Fish Bar fails to get my recommendation and my advice if you are in the area is take the short trip to Bedale where there are a number of other take- away's to choose from.You need to do better Harry's.

Brilliant fish and chips. Good size fish batter not to thick. Curry sauce was good too. Price was really reasonable we are used to paying a lot more.

amazingly good local fish and chips. takeaway and fabulous restaurant. excellent fish and chips at very good price. staff and owner so helpful and friendly.food is cooked to order so its always good and fresh. Shop is right in the village square. you can easy park. we have tried this place a few times now and not been disappointed. many thanks and our compliments to Harry for provided excellent fish and chips whilst staying in Masham on holiday. see you again Thank you Rita & Graham Lincolnshire

Fabulous place excellent service, friendly and down to earth, clean and tidy, fish was made while you waited!!! Oh and the fish chips mushy peas and gravy mmmmmmmmmm

Been twice lately, superb both times. So good I had to go back in to compliment Harry. We love our fish 'n' chips and these are about the best we've ever had.

After a big meal the night before we decided to try the local fish & chip shop which was in the market square. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed but the tables outside were empty so only a minor problem. The food was piping hot and delicious everything was freshly cooked and delicious. Highly recommended.

Staying in Masham and decided to stay in and have a fish and chip supper, great decision. Harry’s are top quality and excellent value. Will definitely visit again

I cannot complain about anything. Fast, attentive, friendly service from Patrick. Excellent portions. Cod was delicious. Well worth it. I loved the onion rings, too.

We visited with the intention of buying dinner but with the complication of multiple allergies. Staff checked the folder and secondary checked the ingredients on packets to ensure all allergies were tailored to. Nothing was too much trouble. Food tasted amazing. Absolutely top team and service.

This is a traditional fish and chip shop that you won’t be disappointed with.Lovely staff cooking food fresh to order. Extra crispy chips were enjoyed.

We have been staying in Masham and got fish and chips from here twice. The fish is cooked a little longer than some places we’ve been, meaning the batter has a lovely colour and is really crisp. Chips are nice too. If you have a modest appetite go for the ‘small’ fish and chips which probably enough for most people. it’s great that this place is so good as it appears to be Masham’s only takeaway.

The best chips I've had in a long time and the fish was lovely too. Great bloke serving behind the counter who obviously loved his job and knew his regulars well as some popped in whilst I waited. Brilliant customer service.

Every time I go to visit to Bedale I always end up in Harry’s in Masham best fish and chips in the area

I would recommend to any one to go to Harry's and have fish and chips the are the best I've tasted in a long time slot on Harry 👍👍👍👍

We popped in the other evening for fish and chips,sausage and chips. I prefer my sausage battered and was rather surprised to see ready cooked sausage that was then dipped in batter and reheated in the fat, sausage was awful and the chips. The chips looked like reheats and were not very nice at all. The fish was lovely but being cooked fresh it should be, I was rather shocked when I asked for sauce to be told it was 25p a sachet. Very poor I,m afraid

Well there was a queue to get in but it would improve matters if shop opened on time

Just had take away from Harry's fish bar fish was good chips underdone mushypeas a joke hard not cooked

One of the most popular spots in Masham, especially on a Saturday night! The fish is flaky, sweet and freshly cooked to order - delish!

Just been to Harry’s been quite a few times but today the fish was dry think it had been sat in the warmer a while had before and been fried when you entered shop

Nipped to the chip bar at the last minute. Good tasty portions and reasonably priced. Enjoyed the paintings on the wall and the little bit of local history from the operative

Very nice fish n chips . Fish is Cooked fresh as you enter shop on order. Always a long queue tho so be prepared to wait . Staff friendly .

was in masham just as harry's was opening looked them up on trip advisor thy had good reviews so we thought we would give them a go absolutely fantastic will deffo go again

A perfect end to a long journey. After travelling by train from Paris with a very early start, a fish and chip dinner was just what the doctor ordered. Friendly welcome in the restaurant, which is light and airy, with a view out to greenery. Service with a smile, and prompt, although it was busy. Delicious fish in crispy batter, not too thick, lovely chips and mushy peas, all washed down with a lovely cup of tea. You need to be there early -- restaurant closes by about 7.30 and takeaway half an hour later, but that just left plenty of time to enjoy a glass of local beer sitting outside the pub across the Market Square.

We always call if we’re visiting Masham. The fish and chips are delicious. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They are also reasonably priced .

We got chips and sausage from here, highly recommended as all food was well done. One of the best chippy we have been too and will be back for more in the future.

It was a rather cold day, we decided to visit Masham a lovely Yorkshire Market Town, we sat in the car to eat our Fish and Chips from Harry's, delicious.

Excellent fish n chips. Cooked fresh as you order on entry. Also has a restaurant area if you prefer which includes bread n butter and a pot of tea. As good (if not better) as The Wetherby Whaler !!

Doing a few walks around the area with my mate and the dogs brought us to Masham today. I remembered there was a chippy in the market place and it being about 12.40 it was open. Greeted warmly by both chaps behind the counter/fryer as I entered. Both chips and fish were them cooked to order and in less than ten minutes we were scoffing them back at the car. Chips were crispy on the outer and fluffy on the inner, fish was flaky and tasty with the most amazing batter on them. Portion size was spot on for us and price was very reasonable. Well recommended.

Superb fish and chips, he changes his oil regularly and the batter is crisp and fresh, highly recommend this place.
