Inghams Fish Restaurant in Scarborough

Visited for the 1st time today for lunch with a friend who wanted fish and chips, I was in desperate need of a chip butty with curry sauce to dip it in. We both left stuffed to the gills and extremely happy! Great service, lovely helpful staff and fantastic food! Very understanding of dietary needs!

All good, super batter on the fish and tasty. Chips same as most places but cooked nicely(shame everybody uses maris pipers) but i get why. Staff really lovely and liked the decor, great place for seaside chippy meal. P.s a whopper for reg.

Lovely fish and chips would definitely recommend could do with more staff serving. The women's always rushed of her feet

I don’t like giving bad reviews as it can affect people’s livelihood but today the takeaway offer was average at best. It should have been called chips and batter, because that’s all I got. Lots and lots of batter on a tiny fish , chips ok but the fish very poor indeed. Not totally terrible but definitely less than average

Fantastic fish and chips, could not fault them, will be back next year.

Absolutely beautiful fish & chips . Good portions and considerably cheaper than fish & chips in nearby Whitby hence the full restaurant and busy takeaway queue . They never disappoint .

Amazing fish and chip lunch. Very busy but worth queuing for. Generous portions, a small fish and chips was plenty for me.

We have had another fab meal here fish chips and curry lovely ...the food is brilliant .

Wow! Just eaten here and had the best Haddock and chips ever. Crispy battered haddock with fresh chips and Scampi and chips. The portions were huge . Will definitely go here again when next in the area. You must eat here for a taste sensation.

Really good fish and chips. Why else would you go! Simple food, simple menu but who goes to Filey and not have fish and chips.

Visited Saturday 19th October for a proper fish and chips lunch. Didn’t disappoint at all! Everything cooked fresh and to perfection not greasy or stodgy at all. Be aware the portions are huge! Including the sides (even a regular) so go hungry or ask for half portion of chips! Absolutely fantastic! We will be back!

Big cod and chips amazing with a cup of tea

Food always good would recommend

Food is always amazing...best chips and fish on the east coast ...oh and curry sauce ... wow

Best fish and chips in YORKSHIRE

As a group of seven girlfriends away for a weekend at the East Coast we decided to have Saturday lunch here. The service was fantastic - efficient and friendly the young lady checking back that all was ok. One friend drenched her fish n chips mistakenly with sugar - still delicious she said after brushing the sugar off and sprinkling salt instead. All in all service, food and atmosphere spot on. Thank you.

Some of the best fish and chips I've had, in very pleasant surroundings and with excellent, friendly service. Value for money was excellent, as the portion sizes are huge, fish was tasty and fresh, and the drinks and sides were also very good prices. Happy to recommend.

I had large cod and chips in this restaurant on Saturday and I could not praise the food and service enough. The price of the food is very fair and the portions were fantastic. The service was very very friendly and efficient. Can not recommend this place enough. If your in Filey head there for a treat.

Best fish and chips in Filey, can't resist going in when walking past.

Called in today and ordered a special haddock. I’m difficult to please with fish & chips, but they’ve got this sorted to perfection. Beef dripping for frying, a crisp batter, beautiful moist flakes within. Flavoursome. Friendly staff. I think the ventilation needs a little attention (window was drenched in condensation and found I needed some air by the time it came to leave - perhaps it was a one off?), but would happily still return

I was recommended this restaurant by 3 different people. It definitely lived up to the recommendation Clean restaurant, friendly staff. Gorgeous food. Full and crispy fish and non greasy chips. Good price. Would recommend

$0 years of going to Inghams and NEVER a bad experience - though far cheaper for us oldies now kids have grown up! I had "small" Haddock and half scoop of chips, fish was absolutely beautiful, meaty, fresh, not greasy, light crispy batter, chips cooked perfectly. OH had the "standard" Haddock and chips - for the price and quality and portion size Inghams far outweighed any competitor. Have to say the service was outstanding and faultless on both occasions we visited from all the staff. Felt welcome and valued. Looking forward to seeing you all in May 2025 Inghams - 40 years later and you have never let us down - a massive thank you!

We were a group of 13 at the end of walking the Cleveland Way. Tired and very wet, we were welcomed and looked after by the wonderful Andrea. The fish and chips was outstanding, beautifully fresh, cooked and served to order and absolutely delicious. The service friendly and helpful. Definitely the place for fish and chips in Filey. Will definitely return anytime I am in the area.

Fresh as you can ask for , really enjoyed fish and chips here

Absolutely fab food! Wouldn't recommend anywhere else for fish n chips .absolutely recommend the scampi!!

I can definitely recommend the 24oz fish and chips if you are really hungry.

Take away fish and chips. Reasonable portions for price. Big price jump if you eat in.

Best fish and chips I've ever tasted ... always visit whilst in filey ... The best 👌 😋

Best fish and chips, curry sauce is absolutely delicious.

Visited yesterday - staff were very polite and friendly. We had the regular fish and chips with mushy peas - huge portion and absolutely delicious. The best we have ever tasted

Great plate of fish and chips. Lifesaver on a wet Monday in Filey

Delicious food, quick service, exceptionally friendly staff & fantastic value for money. Just what we needed on a chilly September tea time.

Best fish and chips I've ever had@

Queued for 15 mins over a busy rainy lunchtime, but I'm British, we love a queue! We were kept informed of times, staff were polite and friendly and the food was worth the wait.

If you are stopping at primrose valley you have got to try Inghams Fish Restaurant just a little drive away. Had haddock and chips with X2 carlsberg My partner had the same but with a pot of tea 'Yorkshire tea'. Friendly staff good service, probably the best battered fish I've had!!! (We ate in the restaurant) If you are visiting and near Filey worth a sit in and sample yourself, you won't be disappointed!!!😉

We had a very good meal nice and hot plenty to eat staff were very helpful will be going back 👍

Hands down the best fish and chips we've had anywhere in the UK. Regular haddock and chips, was plenty even for me and my large appetite, the fish was cooked perfectly with nice light batter and the chips were so moorish. Very reasonably priced and we didn't have to wait long to get a table, we highly recommend eating here if you're visiting Filey!

Absolutely beautiful food as always. We go every year and never disappointed. Staff are so nice. Thank you

Simply the best fish and chips I've ever had

Traditional chippie done very well. Batter on haddock was excellent. Mushy peas still recognisable as peas unlike the green paste that others sometimes do.

It's the best fish and chips place in Yorkshire it's the tops

Great fish and chips, usually a queue but not a massive wait

Recommended by friends, this place didn't disappoint. Great service from the moment we arrived. Menu included smaller portions (perfect for my elderly mum) and other fish dishes which was good. We went for the cod and chips with mushy peas. It was enormous!! Best we have had in a long time and peas were delicious.. highly recommend this place.

I always call in here when I’m in Filey - Fish and chips with scraps a short walk from the beach. You can’t go wrong!

Smashing food as expected - we drove from Hull to Filey just for the experience. Its years since either of had been but it was just as good as ever.

Lovely place for fish and chips, generous portions, tasted delicious. We had my toddler niece with us, plenty of space for a high chair at tables in the back.

Popped up to Filey with my mum and found this spot for lunch. We hadn't quite found our go to for Filey as we don't visit often. I have to say that, though the prices are a little higher than elsewhere, the quality of the fish was spot on and tasted great. Chips are chips, they taste decent enough overall. The staff were very friendly (Not surprising as most people in Filey are) though I'm glad we didn't arrive later as we may have struggled to get a table as we saw people starting to queue up outside. All in all, a great place to go for a good Fish and Chips.

Last ones in before it closed at 7pm….. we were seated very quickly and our order was taken… was surprised to see we could order wine and larger with our meal. Food arrived quite quickly and I have to say it was absolutely beautiful and that it was honestly the best fish & chips I have ever tasted. Would definitely go again and most definitely recommend.

I went to Ingram’s chip shop and very disappointed this year . I been going for the past 4 years when I do my yearly holiday trip to Filey . Firstly you are treated by a server who face and body language shows she doesn’t want to be there and there is no welcoming smile or hello -remember it’s all about the customer service not just the food . So when she so unenthusiastically takes your order - like your on her time and she isn’t on your time -and you have had for a haddock she produces a flat unappealing piece of battered fish . I only eat haddock and have done since a child so I kno haddock is the more meaty of fish esp compared to a cod . This piece of fish that was presented to me definitely wasn’t a haddock and tasted mediocre. The battered fish cake which was an order for a family member tasted like sausage meat and definitely not the type of fish cake we are use to as Northerners . My family member even said “ that chip shop has gone down hill compared to last year “ .. The only saving grace was a carton of mushy peas which were served piping hot and tasted beautiful . I only hope next year we get a service with a smile and a bit of small talk from a server who actually looks like they want to be there and love the job they do . I also hope a haddock represents a big meaty piece of fish next year . All in all a very disappointing 4/10 this year .. and the miserable service is the main reason for such a low score .

Genuinely the best fish and chips I've ever had!

The food was so good and the service brilliant Well done !

Good food,the place a little tired

So after waiting outside for 10 mins to be seated(because they make you wait at the door) it started to rain with about 12 people in the queue. Went to the takeaway side of the restaurant to ask who was seating people as it was raining, to be basically told to wait a member of staff will seat you in due course. Member of staff seated us to overhear one of the staff saying to another those were the ones moaning about waiting. Waitress came over to take our order so ordered 2 large cod and chips to be told they had sold out of cod at 17.15pm, how on earth can a fish and chip shop run out of cod at teatime. Needless to say we walked out and found somewhere else to eat and the £60 I spent was in someone else's till. WOW what a reply from the business it's a wonder you still have customers with that attitude.

Lovely place to grab fish and chips always a que but doesn't take long to go down and it's worth waiting for the best fish and chips around 😋

Always feel welcome and quality food

The restaurant not busy with empty tables kept families with children waiting in the rain, when asked to be seated via chip shop next door was rude. was then talked about by staff loudly for not just waiting. Then told our custom would not be missed when leaving a review. We didn't even get to eat as they had no cod at 5.30pm. Looks lovely from outside, staff look smart, restaurant looks clean but best avoiding rudeness.

Always fantastic. The best chippy in Filey without a doubt

Food and service was excellent! Best fish and chips we ever had, the portions were large,both the cod and haddock were nicely done and flavorful. Service was amazing, eventhough we had to wait outside for like 30 mins to be served. Our server went the extra mile giving us recommendations for nice places to visit. We would definately come back to the place if we lived locally.

This place was recommended by a friend of my wife's and we are glad we came, very large portions of very tasty fish and chips. Staff very attentive and friendly.

Amazing fish n chips well worth a trip.

Food was excellent, but as it's very popular for a very good reason. Be prepared for a bit of a wait. Took me about 15 min to get served. Oh and if you want cod, order it when you get in the door as your waiting as they cook it to order.

Sat in for a late lunch when the restaurant was almost empty. Drinks order took 20 minutes to arrive, it was explained to us that waitress took our order then went on her break and forgot them.... but no apology offered. No cod left when it came to ordering, but we arrived at 3pm which is an awkward time so that was fair enough. Went to pay and were told we needed the slip that came with the food. Hunted for it at the table to find it under a plate covered in curry sauce. Told the guy when we handed it to him that it wasn't legible as it had curry sauce all over it, to which his reply was "yeah but it's not much curry" which was a bizarre response. Took the payment from us without a word of thanks just silence until it cleared then walked off so I assume it did.... No offer of a receipt - considering we couldn't read the bill it would've been nice to be offered to see what we'd paid. Mens toilets absolutely stunk of stale urine that wafted across the restaurant every time someone went in and out. Very overpriced for average food. Seems that the restaurant lives off it's reputation of old but the standard of the service and general cleanliness are about the worst you could imagine. Lesson learned, never again.

Hands down the best fish & chips I've ever had. Great service too & reasonable prices.

Great fish and chip restaurant portions are huge!

I would drive from home to eat here. It's 2 1/2 hours away. Best fish and chips I have ever tasted

Great fish and chips the staff are lovely. Best fish and chip restaurant in Filey

Fantastic fish & chips, eating from the takeaway can be a slow moving queue. But definitely worth waiting for.

Fantastic place. We were recommended Inghams by my sister as she knew we were in the area. I also took 4 other friends with us so was slightly concerned as they are foodies. However, the food served up was amazing, fish with light crispy batter, none greasy chips and well done peas. Everything was served really nicely and the staff were warm, welcoming and helpful. We all left with full stomachs and thoroughly enjoyed it. Can highly recommend. Thank you sis

Food was mediocre. Salt cellar broke and went all over my food which I couldn't eat. Most of the puddings on the menu were heavy so didn't order. No reduction in the bill after I explained about the salt incident. It was a lovely setting though

Very generous portions. Great value fish and chips cooked to perfection 👌 👍

Knowledgable staff .can mix any paint u want

Food excellent but very poor access for wheelchair user and no toilet facilities

This is a very popular fish and chip shop which saw a queue of people waiting to be seated. The fish was fresh with crisp and tasty batter, great chips and amazing traditional fish shop curry sauce. Fair prices for the quality of food and good service from helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommend fish and chip shop. All our party really enjoyed their meals with no complaints.

Very nice fish and chips unfortunately we had to queue almost an hour to get served.

Ordered medium fish and chips. It was massive yummy 😋🤤. Thank you all

Recommended to us as the best fish and chips in Filey and it was fabulous

Great service, yummy food and huge portions. Great value prices. Staff lovely and very efficient. Nice atmosphere and lots of fab old photos around! Thanks so much. Maggie and Craig X

Beautiful fish and chip cafe/takeaway.

The most beautiful fish and chips I’ve ever had in my life and the curry was mighty fine too. They were so good we had them two days running 🤣 When back at work telling people they knew of Inghams. That says everything you need to know.

Been here many times. The haddock and chips is always spot on. Probably the best fish and chips on east coast. Ace chips and lovely light crispy batter on tasty fish. They sell alcohol also which is a bonus. The staff are always very pleasant and can't fault the place. So 5 stars all round

Chips like they should be,cooked in beef dripping. Fish (rather thin compared to other establishments in filey) was locked inside a nice crispy batter. Good sized portions but a little dearer than others in the area. From sitting down to giving our order took a good twenty minutes even though there was about ten staff milling around.Absolutely throwing it down outside but if anyone came in they were told to queue outside although there were empty tables waiting to be cleared. Eventually they were cleared and the poor dripping people let in.

Been told by plenty of people in Filey Inghams fish restaurant is the best, and it was.

I SHARED MY FOOD! mostly just to spite the very rude owner (I might come back and do it again, just for fun) The lovely waitress explained so many rules it put us off ever returning, but I might just to share my chips. Rules include: - if you buy a takeaway you can't use the toilet -you can't share food - not allowed to wait inside for a table when its pouring rain - Not allowed just a drink And many more... Owner, if you want return customers you need to like the hospitality industry! Please save the lovely wait staff the embarrassment of these nonsense rules and scrap the rule!

The food was nice enough, but we turned up with a big group of 10 for a quick lunch, walked in and saw an empty table, but we were told we had to go stand outside only to be brought back in to sit at the same empty table. The lady who served us seemed nice enough, but was made to enforce strange no sharing rules, but they don’t offer a small portion of chips? When my husband asked one of the staff stood in the dining room for a second drink he was told she wasn’t a waitress and to ask someone else. When someone asked for a smaller portion than was on the menu the lady stated repeatedly that we weren’t allowed a child’s portion. Which wasn’t what we had asked for anyway. Just a very unfriendly vibe with average food.

Went in as a group of 6 adults waitress saw us and disappeared around the corner twice when approached said we had to wait outside in the rain to be seated shocking attitude will not return

Best fish & chips for a very long time!

Still great fish and chips and my go to. Dining in is popular, but service is quick. Hghly recommended.

Great atmosphere, great service and the Cod just melts in your mouth.

If you have a small appetite don’t visit🙄 One ⭐️is generous because I’ve just never heard of anything like this🙈. We were seated , ordered food and then a young girl working there after taking our order came back and proceeded to tell us that we can’t share our meals. We wanted a light bite after visiting the beach and local shops it was a lovely day! A regular fish and chips would have been just fine for me and my partner and then a kids fish and chips for our 3 year and then a 6 month old which wouldn’t have had anything. For a start there was 3 young girls sat across from us who had a massive plate of chips with curry sauce and then a full plate of chicken bites who was sharing!!?? A young lady working there even brought them out a spare plate to share their food out?! (The girls sat sharing there looked very friendly with certain staff) but that shouldn’t mean a thing same rules should apply for everyone😊 the young lady working felt uncomfortable telling us we couldn’t share and I would aswell to be honest it’s outrage

After a weekend staying at primrose valley we fancied a good fish and chippy tea .. and let me tell you Inghams did not disappoint … I had the large cod chips pot of peas curry sauce bread and butter and a pot of tea … absolutely gorgeous the cod was chunky and big flakes of fish with lovely golden crispy batter .. peas were fabulous best I’ve had in a while and the chips … proper chips .. wish we had a fish and chip restaurant like this in Manchester .. was filled and satisfied for our journey back to Manchester without the sometimes .. er feeling you get after a large chippy tea .. staff were lovely to and very reasonable for the quality of food you really can tell the freshness and quality of the food 5stars from us

I really wanted to love this place, the inside is decorated lovely with big solid wooden tables and the staff were very friendly. I ordered the special haddock, chips and peas (the haddock is so called special because it’s listed as being 20-24oz on the menu) this cost £22. When it arrived on a very big long oval plate I was immediately impressed at the size of the portion and the length of the fish. I thought that I might be in for something special here. My enthusiasm soon took a dip when I bit into the first chip to find it undercooked and crunchy in the middle and over cooked on the outside, they reminded me of when my mum used to cook chips at home with the chip pan on way too high so the chips came out dark brown and bitter tasting. But at least my mums were cooked in the middle. The fish looked impressive on the plate but I soon found that it was mainly batter and the fish itself was thin, narrow but very long! in fact the table next to me ordered large cod and chips which looked much thicker and juicer and much better value at £13.50. The fish was fresh tasting, with a crispy batter and only slightly over cooked. The mushy peas were standard but nice. This was the fourth fish and chip shop I’ve tried in Filey and it was definitely the worst of the four. I wouldn’t return which is such a shame as the place looks great inside and it’s in a great location.

I've been going to Inghams for around 16 years and time after time the quality never diminishes, superb food and lovely staff . Be seeing you soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had an excellent meal here. The food was hot and fresh and very tasty. The fish cakes were particularly good, and there were good portion sizes. Very friendly waitress who was very helpful discussing possible allergens with my daughter.

Ordered scampi and chips must have been 30 pieces never seen so many fresh tasty pieces of scampi served with chips tartar sauce and salad. The fish and chips were lovely chunky white flakes of haddock. Service excellant very pleasant atmosphere price good value a lot better than having to dodge the seagulls. Definitely recommend

Ace! Super friendly, proper taste of the North! Rule Brittania!

Really great fish and chips. Staff were friendly. My only complaint was that there was a queue out the door on Saturday night, so we had to wait over 30 mins. There was plenty of fish and chips ready to be served to lots of waiting customers, but the hold up was because there was only one person serving. Having two people working on tandem would have halved everyone’s wait time.

Excellent fish, chips and peas, batter was lovely and crispy and not greasy at all My grandson had fish goujons, he ate them all, brilliant.

Lovely fish, crispy batter, good service and good value

Best fish and chip shop . Great prices and service. Food is amazing , highly recommended 👌

I went to the takeaway side of inghams. Customer service was poor she didn't say hello goodbye thankyou or anything apart from my order. 2 customers in front of me both local chatty then helped them with their salt and vinegar and closing their boxes and bags. Said goodbye to both and turned to me to serve. I felt like a leper. However the fish and chips were beautiful so full credit to the chef.
