Kirkgate Fisheries in Selby

First visit after being recommended by a friend. Great little fish & chip shop. All cooked fresh to order. Portions are a good size, couldn't finish my fish & chips, and that doesn't happen very often. Best in Tadcaster for sure. Definitely returning. Thumbs up to all the staff. 2nd visit. Good fryday fish & chips. Great service, good sized portions, piping hot, freshly fried. Can't fault any aspect of Kirkgate Fisheries. Best chippy in area by far. Thanks to all the team at KF.

Fish cooked to order , thick meaty flakes in a medium batter, best I've had in a long time.

You can pre order which saves waiting. Lovely fish and chips and good portions. Curry sauce and battered sausage are a favourite with teenagers.

First visit whilst working in the area from Nottingham.. Extremely friendly staff, piping hot lovely chips and plenty of them . The most unique and best fish cake I think I`ve ever had and overall excellent value at just over a fiver. Couldn`t fault the food or service.

What absolutely amazing fish and chips. The owner is a gentleman who is committed to quality and customer satisfaction. I always ask for my fish well done and due to frying everything fresh it is not an issue. The chips are fabulous and the fish is fresh and the batter is really crispy and so tasty. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for our fish and chips ❤️

Really nice enjoyed the seafood platter and chips also ha very had the fish and chips

Excellent food, friendly staff & good value as always.

had fish& chips last week ,they were dry & tasteless

Fish and chips amazing and still cooked in beef dripping! mmmm.

Very nice fish and and mushy peas, excellent service, servers are accurate and organised whilst a busy serving period

one of best fish & chips shops in yorkshire if not the uk highly recommended haddock & chips cooked in beef dripping 11/10

Very first time here. From Liverpool. Ordered fish and peas. Husband ordered his. We also ordered 2 cartons of sauce, she said we asked for curry but we said no..so she cancelled this. We were asked if we wanted a bag. Presuming she meant a carrier bag, we said yes. Our food was cooked to order. Our food was passed to us in paper bags. Not trays. Mine had chips, which I didn't ask for. I dont eat chips, so didn't ask for them. I said I didn't ask for chips, she said I did and I had paid for them, so I would have to take them. Also, who puts fish and chips in a paper bag? Never ever seen it before. You can't even get salt and vinegar on it all. My husband went mad as he had gravy and couldn't pour gravy into a paper bag. We were in a local hotel so didn't have a plate. Why were we not offered trays? The food itself wasn't very good..although the fish inside the batter was nice. The batter was very oily and tasted oily , so I pulled it off and left my chips.. I certainly would not recommend this fish shop to anyone.

Arrived on a normally quiet Monday lunch time, the haddock I ordered was freshly cooked in front of me, the fish was fresh and succulent, the batter light and tasty. Service was friendly and helpful. All in all, thanks folks very tasty.

I was staying at a local Travel lodge who recommended this place. I ordered my food which was salted, vinegar added and bagged. I went to pay with a Scottish £20 note and was told we only take British money!! I explained Scotland was part of Britain to be told again that we dont take Scottish money only British money. After trying to explain again I got the same answer. I debated on paying with a card but decided on principle not to. They therefore ended up with a bag of food they could not resell and I walked out in disgust. Being a Yorkshireman myself I find this totally disgusting and having defended the county in the past because of this type of behaviour I can no longer do that. Therefore I give this place a zero star review, but had to give one star because you have to have a minimum. I come by here every few months for business but this place will never see my custom in the future. I ordered from a local chinese take away instead who were very happy to accept the "non British" Scottish notes!!

Great fish and chips as always.

Called here today after visiting nearby Knaresborough. The haddock was absolutely beautiful, great service too, will definitely call again if I'm in the area!

Came in pissed up and gaffa had all the answers. "Whatever you've got, fry it" " I gotcha" Out came 2 last minute fishcake butties, bit of tartar sauce, plenty scraps, valt and siniger, tremendous. 10/10 would recommend

Been plenty of times ,always very good.

Ordered the haddock and peas and it was lovely. They are really generous portions so I skipped the chips this time. (Just get one portion of chips if there are two of you!) The batter is light and reminded me of proper 'seaside chippy!' Excellent.

Thriller of a little chip shop! Definitely worth a visit however Prices are extortionate.

Excellent food. Fish brilliant.

Great food and friendly staff. You get service with a smile here. The chips are gorgeous, and plentiful!

Overpriced chippy, probably owned by brewery . Not amazing. 3 quid for a bag chips. wtf. Pass. Not biggest of portions, and not a chippy talk about

Top drawer, and I know my fish n chips. Great portions, lovely chips, scoffed by the river.

Absolutely beautiful seafood basket definitely recommend.

Great fish and chips but slow service as there is no fish ready cooked especially when it's bang on lunchtime.

Called again today. Glad to say as good as before. The shop is clean and well presented, staff and proprietor pleasant and obliging. The fish and chips cooked to perfection, decent portions and fair price.

nine pound for fish and chip Jesus

Real nice takeaway fish and chips

I live about 200 yrds from another well know fish & chip shop in Tadcaster. But from now on i will be using Kirkgate Fisheries. They are excellent & huge portions.

On holiday in York and finding all the local eateries booked for valentine's we went to a local chippy. Turned out to be a great option. Service was friendly, cheery and quick. Fish was very well cooked with lovely crispy batter. Chicken burger was enjoyed by our teen (best ever she said 😋). Excellent chips. All in all great food and good value

Best chippy bye miles we drive up from hemsworth.pass umpteen chippys not as good as this one .respect to charlie n staff

HONEST REVIEW this is the best fish an chip shop in my area food is always top-notch and the service is always in the same league always friendly welcoming faces thank you all for you brilliant customer service and great food

5* Fish and Chips! Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

In my opinion one of the best fisheries in the area

Huge portions ..half chips would have been enough . Tasty fish and crispy batter. Attentive and polite staff. Excellent.

Brill fish and chips and you get and massive portion 10 out of 10

Great food and even gave us a free Yorkshire Fishcake on the house!

Left sunderland back in 84...couldn't believe what fish shops around the country were calling fish cakes!!!! Fantastic home made fish cakes, took me back 40 years. Big smile on my face. Delicious

Top drawer fish & chips. Glad it’s so close! 😊

Great Service, fantastic fish & chips.. best we have ever had!

This day horrible and full of fat

Best fish and chips in tadcaster the best

Best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Expensive but everything is now a days. I would split one portion between 2 as it was massive

Huge portions of chips! I had a battered sausage too and it was very good. Rationally priced too, a lot cheaper than a pizza takeaway!

Never fail to produce excellent quality. A single portion of chips is enough for two but the do offer a small chops if you asked. Not tried a burger yet, maybe this Friday. Staff are friendly and service is good.

Had the regular haddock and chips. Fish on the small side, more like a mini fish you get in some places (not much fish, but what there was had a nice taste), and batter nice & crispy. Chips - good portion size and good taste. Beef dripping makes a difference. Expensive, notice its gone up £2 in 2 years, around 25%! (I am aware everything has gone up lately). Someone below mentions the fish sticking to the paper. That's probably because the fish has come straight out the fryer and not been allowed to drain for a minute or so.

Came up to the area for my 60th Birthday treat and must say the fish and chips I had from the kirkgate made it worthwhile, I can't remember the last time we had fish and chips as good as these. And I do know a bit about fish and chips.

Nice fish bites and not too pricey

Good fish and chips but now way overpriced and smaller portions too. I used to come here regularly but as the prices here have massively inflated can no longer afford to do so.

Amazing Service!! Amazing fish & chips!!

Tasty, good price and sensible portion sizes.

We've just moved to Tadcaster, I love fish & chips and have them regularly so was looking forward to seeing what the local chippy was like. We've tried this place a few times now, trying to give them the benefit of the doubt after a couple of disappointing meals. They're ok, but really not great - the batter was very thick and stodgy. I had chips on a tray one day while we were out for a walk and they were great but I won't be going back for a fish and chip tea

Great fish and chips. Friendly quick service.

Lovely food, a little disorganised in serving but friendly and food is always hot and fresh.

The taste is great, the fish is solid white - top quality and the portion of chips are magnificent. all round superb

Always Great food and One of the only chippies that does proper scallops..

Best fish and chips we’ve had in a long time. Fully recommend. Lovely and clean and very friendly. Absolutely delicious!

Good quality food competitive prices.

These are hands down the best fish and chips ive had in a long time! Fish was fresh and batter was super crispy, chips were like they’d been triple cooked and the curry sauce was nice and thick! 100% recommend. To the staff don’t change what you’re doing everything is great including the customer service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was our first visit to this chippy and we were very very pleased with the polite and friendly staff. The fish bites are the best we’ve had and the fish cake was made as it should be. The chips were a cut above the rest and everything was still red hot when we got home. Will definitely be coming again. Thank you Kirkgate fisheries.

Great fish and chips. Fresh, flaky haddock in perfect, crispy batter. Lovely chunky, non-greasy chips, all piping hot. I'll go out if my way to call again next time I'm anywhere near.

Call at lunchtime 11/9/21 Polite helpful staff ,clean shop,food superb. Nice that these places still exist.

Great fish and chips and the service great

Best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Massive portions. Thick chunky haddock, crispy batter, crispy chips that were roasting hot. Can’t recommend enough.

Great grub at good prices with happy, smiling staff. Accepts phone orders. Highly recommended.

As a connoisseur of over 50 years standing. Kirkgate Fisheries are currently the best chippy in the country.

Lovely Tasty Fish and Chips. Up there with the very best in Yorkshire !

Nicely presented fish and chips , chips undercooked and the fish isn’t very tasty and the batter is soggy, I won’t be calling again.

We travel from Great Preston to what we believe are the best fish n chips around. We'll worth the travel

Excellent fish and chips with curry sauce or mushy peas and gravy, yummy

Absolutely beautiful fish & chips . The very best I’ve tasted for a longtime. My son can treat me to this any lunchtime - sat across the road on a bench in the open air beats any restaurant.

Provided a great service throughout lockdown, with deliveries and telephone ordering, the guys have been a godsend

Fabulous and plenty!!! Can highly recommend !!

Beautiful fish and chips, great sized portions. One of the best chippys I've had.

Fantastic fish and chips staff very friendly

Easily the best fish and chip shop in the UK... I have travelled up and down the UK for work and can say that this place categorically serves the best tasting fish and chips... The staff are very friendly and welcoming and you get to eat your food in the shadow of a massive John Smiths brewery!!! I cannot recommend this place highly enough, will definitely be back when I'm in the area... Thank you Kirkgate Fisheries...

Fantastic fish and chips, absolutely love it.

Best fish and chip shop around. All staff are very friendly. Portions are large with great quality choices and value for money.

Excellent sausage & chips as usual, plus the service is fantastic - thanks Charlie & Chris. We will be back again.

These are best fish and chips around the fish is fresh not frozen and the chips are amazing. The myshy peas are very good too also so the fishcakes. This fish shop has kept use going in lockdown

Taste good and service warm and friendly

Always helpful...top class fish and chips... it's not right what they say about Chas.... he's supercool...😎😎😎

Lovely fish and chips. Thoroughly enjoyed them. Nice chunky piece of fish in a crisp golden batter. Lovely chips. Portion size was fantastic, probably a little too much if I'm being honest. Deffo visit here again.

Beautiful fish staff amazing covid restriction brilliant

Very nice fish, excellent chips, generous portions. If anything slightly under cooked. When taking the fish out of the paper it took the batter with it leaving a bit of a floury mush. Saying that this is why we try and eat them straight away. They are never the same when you get them home wherever you go.

Always fresh & taste great. Best fish & chips. Good portions

There were 12 people in the queue when I arrived but well worth the wait

Absolutely gorgeous fish & chips, fried fresh and the service was great Thank you . Definitely recommend

Extremely well priced compared to other fish n chip shops. But the chips are a little greasy and can cause some discomfort.

Fantastic fish & chips, great service. We will be back.

Good value for money and good service.

Fish and chips are the best you'll find in Tadcaster. However they did not give me my curry, dissapointed when I found it was not in the bag.

We tend to go to Kirkgate fish & chip shop after a walk over the viaduct bridge to the main road turn left heading into Tadcaster passing the Riley Smith Hall down the one way street to the Chippy , great fish & chips.

Top of the pops. Exceptionally clean premises and quality of food first class Some parking and a bench seat opposite. Probably the best fish and chips ever

Stopped for chips, best I had in a long time really nice, pies not so nice but would defo go again you can park out side

Best Fish n Chips Eva!! Had to queue but can see why!! Gorgeous well done crispy chips and chunky white fish beneath the golden batter! Will b back!!

Excellent fish and chips cooked traditionally in beef dripping. We actually travel 80 miles to visit friends and save our fish and chip night till we can get to Kirkgate. Never had a bad meal from here,the staff are always friendly and efficient . All in all a great chip shop with the best fish and chips for miles around.

Best ‘chippy’ for miles,great quality,service and price. Recommend to everyone,even those that swore they’d never go back...,but did!

Good as normal, we enjoyed our sat night F&C. Once we can walk inside without separation, we will up the star rating. Not the owners fault, he is doing a great job.
