Hinderwell Fish & Chip Shop in Scarborough

Nowhere safe to park close by to the shop (all double yellow lines). Chip butty was one of the worst I'd ever had. It was bland and tasteless. The fish wasn't great. The chips are crinkled (unusual for a chippy). The bread buns are defrosted in front of you, which is best practice if you want a customer to return to your establishment. Photos are of a chip butty, fish and chips, spam fritter, peas and curry sauce.

One of the nicest fish and chips I've ever had.

The fish batter was a bit stiff when cutting into it but the fish itself was OK the chips weren't bad either.

Not impressed at all, laboured service, mediocre food (small) and so expensive for such small portions. How to get rich quick!

Good chippy. Crinkle cut. Would benefit from pickled gherkins and onions. The first and only time I have seen a salon-style hair spray atomiser used for applying vinegar.

The fish was nice, however was disappointed by every thing else, the chips weren't classic chip shop chips and more like crinkle cut chips from a freezer that you can get in a supermarket and were very greasy, the curry sauce was more like soup with bits in it and was microwaved, and vinegar was sprayed on with a hairspray bottle which doesnt work as i couldnt taste the vinegar and salt sprinkled on however you couldn't taste it, it is very expensive too, I got 4 cod and chips with 2 curry sauce and it was around £35, however staff were friendly. Overall I do not recommend and will not be coming here again. Also I would like to add in response to the owners reply to my review is that the average price for fish and chips isn't £8.25 and no wonder you lose customers if you try insulting them about their clothes ps. I wasn't wearing a David Bowie t-shirt

Visit hear every time we go to Runswick bay, Lee is friendly and welcoming. Fish is always amazing and fresh. Only time we have fish and chips is here..

Nice to have crinkle cut chips from a chip shop. Good service although had to wait as nothing ready. Chips tasted a bit bland, mushy peas had a bit of a weird taste but battered sausage was nice. 1st time here but think I'll stick to the chippy in Staithes as they are tastier and indeed cheaper

Great service, good food and quite near to where I live

Poor chips. Gravy auful. Fish tiny. Disappointed for a area you expect good fish and chips.

Excellent fish and chips. Great friendly service.

Fantastic owners and great food! Tried a fish pattie for the first time (my new favourite) will return next time we are up from Nottingham - Thanks again for the vinegar spray 😀 Lynda and Damian

Chips out of this world old fashioned shop and you can taste the quality must visit if you are passing blast from the past 👍👍👍

I had Fish & Chips, last night. The fish was excellent with nice crispy batter, and a good portion of chips. Excellent value for money and i would recommend this fish & chip shop.

Really nice fish and chips. The owners were rushed off their feet with orders, but still very friendly and not a long wait. I'll be back when I'm in the area again.

The fish and chips tonight were so tasty. The batter was well cooked and crispy. Everything was cooked to order so piping hot. Crinkly chips were fab too. Didn't have far to take mine home as staying locally on holiday. Will definitely call back and I would certainly recommend to others. My dog, Maud also enjoyed her first taste of fish from a chippie. Thank you. Mandy and Maud

Lovely people amazing food a real feel of Yorkshire people X

£35 for 2 fish, a burger. And a small bag of chips. Terrible! No idea how to contact you. Was missing 1 cod, 1 chips.

Best fish and chips had in a very long time. Owners very delightful people. Absolutely recommend this chippy. 10/10

Popped in on Saturday teatime for the best fish and chips I've ever tasted, owner and Kaz are lovely, friendly people hope to see you both the next time we are down that way . Tony and Janice from Seaham

Asked if the chips were vegetarian. The cook told me they were vegetarian but not vegan because they were cooked in beef fat 😒 how does that work out. Please be ware if your vegetarian going here. Sorry had to edit my review due to owners response... Owner did tell me chips were suitable for vegetarians not vegans as they were only cooked in beef fat and did not contain any meat.... that's why I posted my original review. To his response my husband bought his fish and chips.... my husband is not a vegetarian and will eat anything...... well nearly anything..... he didn't eat all your fish and chips as he didn't like them. As for telling me to sod off you clearly don't like being corrected when you are wrong. Don't worry about me coming back to your shop I won't be as you do not cater for vegetarians.... well only the ones that eat beef!!! Owner deleted his comment

Just got into the holiday home and by absolute luck there’s a chippy open within walking distance opposite a pub. The people were lovely, offered a bag of scraps and the food didn’t disappoint. Great start to our week, thank you.

Amazing service & food as always.

Really good fish and chips cooked to order. Fresh, good quality cod. Orders taken at the door, social distancing observed throughout. Just visiting area, but would definately return.

Cracking fish and chips thank you Lee for your service!

Very limited opening hours, maybe seasonal, maybe staffing issues, but well worth a stop to take away freshly prepared fish and chips.

Really great traditional cod and chips nice moist and well cooked cod and crinkle chips can't fault it were here for the weekend as a break away and will definitely be back, and very friendly staff too. Ordered our food by phone to be collected and weren't disappointed thank you

I was first attracted to this chippy by it’s one star review from an offensive vegetarian. Lee is a top chap and his fish and chips are first class. Take it from a none lettuce muncher, you won’t be disappointed.

Stayed at Hinderwell a couple of years ago and the fish and chips were amazing. Here again and they’re still amazing, we couldn’t recommend them highly enough along with the friendly service you receive !! Top marks all round, thank you.

Best beef dripping chips had in ages and the battered burger was spot one cheers will be back tomorrow lol

Great food and service, pre ordering recommended.

Lee is a legend, anybody that knows Lee knows he will go out of his way to help people, lovely crispy battered fish and chips to die for in lovely beef oil. Delicious food, friendly service well worth the five stars

Friendly staff, great fish and chips.

Wanted to know if they was Yorkshire fishcakes or not. Man behind counter interrupted and was very ignorant towards my girlfriend if I was there he wouldn't have been but was not happy when told will definitely not be back as very greasy and was tight with salt and vinegar (1star generous)

Freshly cooked, delicious. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic fish and chips, freshly cooked and tasted amazing. Great service, very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Cod and chips I found to be average. Nice batter though on the modest sized piece of cod

Chips were like scraps from the bottom of the pan and fish with chewy batter, as if both had been warmed up from earlier. Just about warm. Never again.

Excellent fish and chips really enjoyed we are staying locally and would definitely recommend nicest I've had for a long time. Ordering system a good option at the current times.

Fantastic Fish And Chips,lovely staff and the place is immaculate Service with a smile.

The plan was to have Fish & Chips and take them to Runswick Bay to eat them in a beutiful place. We found this 'Hinderwell Chip Shop' close by and rang an rder in as requested. Fantastic, a portion of Fish and Chips that rivalled any we have had in nearby Whitby and served by a friendly staff.Now a firm favoutite for a return visit when next in the area. No more queueing outside in Whitby, we will pre order by phone and enjoy our may in beautiful surroundings if the nearby Runswick Bay.

Perfect fish and chips every time; nothing is too much trouble. Sadly covid limitations prevented visits during Covid restrictions as local fish and chips essential for all family and friends when they stay.

Always lovely and friendly and absolutely gorgeous fish and chips, maybe have to wait a bit before the pre ordering as its so popular but so worth it. NOW you have to ring up and pre order which is a fantastic idea to prevent crowds. Lee you and your staff are lovely xxx

Brill fish & chips. Lovely battered sausage. Asset to the village. Staff always cheerful polite and smiling. Keep it up.

Fantastic little fish shop and lovely staff. Used this chip shop for years from being a former local. I am now living in Redcar and despite all the the fish shops here I would still rather drive out and buy quality.Well done guys on staying open through the pandemic and following proper safety guidelines to protect yourselves and customers alike.

Lovely fish and chips! Lee and his team provide an excellent service and during the lockdowns have/and continue to operate a pre-order service to comply with the restrictions and keep everyone safe. He and his team are really friendly and hard-working and he’s an asset to the village. See you soon Lee!

Our lifeline during lockdown. Everything in place to keep us lucky customers safe. Pre order top quality, fresh fish and chips straight out of the fryer. This is what Friday night’s are for. Great service with a smile.

Excellent fish and chips. Equally superb customer orientated service. Working so hard to still serve throughout the current Covid pandemic. Currently running a very good and well thought out phone to order before collection system in order to keep everyone Covid safe which is well appreciated (and so avoid queues of people just turning up and expecting to be served on speck...and this is a very popular 'chippy' which during holiday periods would pre Covid have had people queuing outside the door). They will always still try and accommodate the passing request IF bookings allow.....but use common sense if you have it and at likely busy times book or be disappointed.

Very rude owner, was shouted at for not pre placing an order???? How hard is it for a chippy to throw a fish in the fryer. This bearing in mind no one was even in the Que!!!!! Avoid this place

A great village chippy, fish cooked to order and crinkle cut chips, what not to like?!! Currently and sensibly operating a phone-to-order service. Be patient, it’s worth the wait!

Wonderful fish and chips, cooked to perfection and hot ! Actually cooked while we waited. Never hesitate to go there again. Very pleasant service too

Lovely fish n chips when you can get them wish they'd put on website about having to pre order before calling in

Always good service and excellent fish and chips

The best chip shop in the area. Worth driving to if you're not local, they're that good. They serve 'Bits' too. I hadn't had those since I was a kid in West Yorkshire. The next time I'm in the area I shall certainly be popping in.

Unfortunately didn't know I had to order ahead. Otherwise would've loved to try their fish and chips.

Really enjoyed our fish and chips and mushy peas. Ring earlier to book and arrange a time for pick up from a window - this being covid times.

Fish was very small for the price. Chips were ok.

Good sized fish and light crunchy batter. Some of the best fish and chips I have had for a long time. Currently due to covid, ring to order and select your pick up time, do not just turn up expecting to get served

Lovely fish and chips. A real treat!

Really really nice fish and chips, they also have a phone ordering service to save time when collecting.

Prebooked as it was advised due to Covid, Was staying at Serenity Campsite and decided to give the chippy a try as it was close by. Excellent chips and peas and very friendly service. Would go again and highly recommend.

So that’s 62.5p for each scampi.

Best fish , chips and mushy peas I have had for years. Served by absolutely lovely people . A true gem

Phoned at about 5 from Runswick Bay and order was ready to collect 10 minutes later - and was excellent! Great service and great quality.

Had our evening meal from here recently ok n Friday evening. I rang the order through earlier which was a good move. We had haddock and chips. The fish and batter were well cooked and very nice indeed. Chips were crinkle cut well cooked and plenty of them. Staff were very helpful and polite. Well worth a visit.

Just eaten the best fish and chips ever. All food is pre ordered and social distancing is paramount

1st fish and chips when we got to the area, amazing!! Couldn't do enough for us, so friendly and a really good price!!

We live in Hinderwell and as we have not been able to eat out in Lockdown have been having Lee’s excellent fish and chips each week. Early on Lee rearranged things so he could carry on opening, serving at the door. He quickly went to contactless payment and provided an excellent service for locals on his own. With tourists arriving the phone and book system came in, how else can a small local chippy with just two people do any more to satisfy as well as manage demand? The system works - rarely anyone else there other than maybe one person in front which is good with such a small pavement with residential houses either side. Then there is the actual fish and chips! Always a good sized piece of quality fish (and great sausages my grandson says), and crinkle cut chips - why so rare? - they are great!To those who have moaned on here - this is a small village chippy, appreciated by locals, so why not relax, understand how we work here, and follow the booking system as the food is so well worth the wait.

Nothing Special expensive for a takeaway and got my order wrong wont be returning

Excellent fish n chips; easy pre-order service which is clearly stated on their website. Friendly staff and would definitely recommend!

Used while camping along the road. Fish and chips were great- staff were very friendly and will definitely use again.

This is very good chippie but be warned due to COVID you have to pre-book a slot. We didn't on our first night but glad we did the next as the fish is a decent size and the chips nice and crisp. I thought I'd lost my card but when we rang despite being busy they took the time to look for it. You have to book because this place is popular with locals and tourists like us,

Great service and tasty place to get fish and chips.

Arrived at 6 o clock on a Saturday night when visiting the area after reading the good reviews. We were rudely asked if we had pre-ordered and saying no, told they were too busy to serve us. Sent on our way.

Excellent customer service and superb fish and chips; these really were some of the best we've tasted and cooked to perfection. Thank you for answering my questions regarding dietary requirements so swiftly and positively. We'll certainly be back for more, thank you.

A real gem. As a venue felt really personal and loved compared to some of the industrial chip shops we see now. Offered scraps and they were nearly as many as there were chips !!! The fish was great and the chips were tasty... Not just fat soaked potato... Off the beaten track, but we'll worth seeking out if you are in the area.

We went in today to get some food. And it was extremely busy. There were also only two staff who were really friendly and reasonable considering they were so busy! Also the food was delicious and glad to see they were still getting food out in as many ways as possible even during covid-19...... definitely be back! Thanks!!

Put our order in as we knew we would be passing through and we know how fab this chippy is . We stay at Whitby frequently but always divert to Hinderwell for this treat !Fab service . Fab fish and chips . Lee is such a brilliant owner - so professional, friendly and courteous . Just perfect!

Fish and chips were delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by all the family. The staff were lovely, very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for a fab meal!

Great fish and chips along with excellent customer service! Staff are really friendly! I would recommend to anyone stopping in the area!

Lovely fish and chips, massive portions and really nice service. Would like to say we will be back but I don't think we will need to eat for the rest of the week.

Lovely fish and chips and nice service.

I came to the chip shop on Sunday Evening , in front was a man swearing at the owner and a young girl behind the counter who had such a friendly face . All info on how to order food at these difficult uncertain times were displayed in the window and I for one would always double check the procedure anywhere with how things are at the moment , not this Man he abused the staff and I witnessed it, I can only commend you on how you dealt with this (I would like to say gentleman but he definitely was not) well done to you and your staff . I found ordering very simple and collection more so, Fish and Chips were delicious and staff very friendly . Well done to you all and I’m sorry you had to have an ordeal like you did I was ashamed for him .

Cracking fish and chips. Really friendly staff. The Brown Cow is a great stop before hand.

Worst fish and chip shop ever, food was disgusting. Very very rude owner.Whitby is best for food. They treat tourists terrible, we will never go there again

The best Fish and Chips I've had, consistently good and served by cheerful, friendly staff. 5 star....🤓

Just had haddock and chips tonight and have got to say they were the best I've ever had. The mark of good and fresh fish and chips is not feeling that you can't finish it. I finished it and the batter is the lightest and best yet. We'll done.

called in on the way home from sandsend, lovely staff and great food, best fish and chips I've had for a long time

These are the best fish and chips I've had in ages. Delicious fresh fish, crispy batter, tasty crinkle cut chips. Perfect after a day on the beach! Best to pre-order currently due to covid restrictions (see their website for contact info) and card payments are preferred.

This is a wonderful local fish and chip shop serving delcious fresh fish and equally tasty chips - it's well worth making the effort to phone in your order in advance as we think this is the best chippy on the North Yorkshire coast. The staff are friendly and doing everything they can to keep customers safe in these strange times - all the info you need is clearly posted in the shop window and we ate there three times during our stay in Hinderwell - and we'll definately be back before summer's over!

As we took boris advice we had just arrived to hinderwell thought we have fish and chips for tea it was not to be .told they need 24 hrs notice . No wonder everyone was eating in Saltburn on sea .it was to early for our tea at 3pm .

Really nice and fresh fish. Lush chips. Proper portion. Has a good system for collecting and paying during covid.

Fantastic fish and chips, perfect sized portions, also great service. We ordered for 10 to 6 and it was there waiting for us. Thank you Lee

been useing this fish and chip shop most of my life always cooked to perfection keep up the great work lee and the team

Beautiful chips, fish fried perfectly in crispy batter and curry sauce to die for ! What a treat this place is, clean , friendly, and delicious. Do yourselves a favour and pop in, you won’t regret it .

Lovely fish and chips while on holiday

We have been waiting to try this local chippy whilst staying locally at runswick bay.limited opening hours but worth a visit.I enjoyed the crinkle chipswith the pie.staff friendly nice people,nice supper

The default cod being served looked very good, but our family preference is haddock and at £5 a portion (plus £1.80 for chips), 80p more than the cod, I expected it to be good.

Fabulous fish and chips cooked to perfection. I think they are cooked in dripping but whatever they are awesome.
