Oliver's Fish & Chips Restaurant in Harrogate

Visited many a time as also have gluten free option on certain days. Being just before Halloween, they had Also decorated accordingly.

Food was good and tasty. Service spot on, but temp in the seating area was way too hot.

We found Olivers fish and chip restaurant looking on Google search. We went out for an evening meal 😋 I really enjoyed it I had spam fritters an old fashioned meal to some my wife had fish and chips We also had tea for two just lovely the lady behind the counter was hard working keeping everything going I must say she was really nice 🙂 anyway I recommend them if you're in the area if you want a restaurant with good food and good evening out Ho my chip butty on the side 😊 mmmmm

Absolutely wonderful fish and chips.great people skills

Food ok, place could do with a upgrade.

We are regulars here (we visit the restaurant part) and love the place. Lovely food in a friendly family feel atmosphere and it's always an extra treat when Caroline is serving. Such a warm and friendly lady and makes us feel so welcome. Also enjoy catching up with Terry and his gardening too! Great place, great people, great food and a great price too.

Managers incredibly rude i ordered a fish and when I got home and the fish was half raw and still swimming. Staff constantly shouting at trainee staff and that’s unacceptable as everyone has to learn respect them. It takes years to build respect as a firm and seconds to lose it Oliver’s. Poor poor quality and don’t pay staff high enough for the awful managerial.

Spent 60 quid on food . Waited patiently for 2 hours for the family and friends and no sausages arrived.after a patient Called to advised that no sausages arrived. No apology. Stated we were wrong . then told actually we were given the wrong bag. And advised there was nothing they can do. Awaiting a refund that will probably never come … that’s the last time after 14 years of custom.

It's my local Chippie and luckily, it's also the best one in harrogate in my opinion . Been going for nearly 30 years and I've never had a bad meal from them 👍

Bought there MEGA fish. Well if that's mega, the normal must be a minnow!!! Disappointed. Very small. £15.25 for fish chips and a sauce is a lot of money. Won't go again.

First time I have had food from here. Had them delivered. Not had f&c for a while. What can I say. I love my fish & chips & these were fabulous I chose the special fish [experience of other shops are small fish] this special was a proper special. Fish was white & tasted like Fish. Batter lovely. Chips were perfect [for me] tasty not greasy just nice. Even the peas tasted/looked like mushy peas. Overall excellent even the delivery. Thankyou for my Friday tea.

Lovely old fashioned restaurant + Chippy fish 🐟 huge, chips 👍, peas👍, Just charged me wrong But still cheap as chips 😄. 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Chips great, service fine, Fish well fried and a good size. Would ask for lightly battered fish in future because it was like cake! Would recommend trying, and will try again with lightly battered fish. Curry sauce and peas traditional.

Brilliant fish and chips for Seniors.

Can only assume that they sent the cold burnt food out to just eat orders, was disgusting

Its a Quiet old Fish&chip Rest,needs bringing up to 2024,but enjoyed food,Senior Discount only £6-95,not had for yrs a Spam Fritter in Batter,you get a pot of Tea,Bread n Butter,all in for £9,and the Staff make your visit great such a relaxed place.

Best in town. I'm confident it actually can't be done any better.

Having spent many years trying different fish and chips shops across the country, I cannot understand why Olivers gets a five star. Over cooked batter and an over masculine average environment.

Probably the best fish and chip shop in Harrogate. Very friendly staff, lovely food (quality is always good, no matter how busy), and well priced. You can queue for a little while to be served, but that's expected in any decent fish and chip shop.

Friendly service but very slow Food was awful had to leave half of it not cheap either. Seating area was all a bit sticky and ceiling tiles falling off. Wouldn’t come again

Awful just awful, pity it had been recommended Staff were obviously training, which is fine we all have to learn . The woman doing the frying I’m assuming the boss was vile , the way she spoke to the staff was unacceptable. The gentleman who served me ( older) was very nice , when he went to get my fish the vile lady shouted at him to take from the other end . This was not freshly cooked, it was dry (fish) burnt and greasy , I assume it had been lying and that’s why he was told to use it. It takes a long time to build a reputation but only a moment to lose it . Please respect you customers

Overcooked fish, slow service, dirty dishes/cutlery/glassware/tabletop, the ceilings falling down.... Other than that, quality experience 💀

Chips arent bad. Very tight on portion sizes! If you want value for money, I'd go elsewhere. Many other decent chip shops around harrogate that give double the portion size for the money.

Clean establishment with happy friendly staff. Fish cooked to order, delicious

The fish itself was lovely but because we arrived after finishing work the batter on the fish was brown as in the oil had been used all day and we arrived near closing so not a bad review just maybe our late arrival time

Very small piece of fish in thick dark brown batter about 2 mouthfulls for £6 .40 It must have changed hands as it used to be reasonably good .

Friendly service and the fish and chips were beautifully cooked and delicious.

Absolutely delicious and great value!

£3.30 for 42 over cooked chips! I definitely will not be using this place again. Scandalous greed charging this amount for a portion of sub standard fare. Avoid!

Always the best fish & chip shop in Harrogate. Good food and excellent staff with awesome service.

Food was very decent - nice piece of haddock, enough chips and decent peas too! I sat in the restaurant bit and was asked what do I want to drink? I baulked at £2.55 for a can of coke, so went for the beer and then was asked if I want bread & butter, so I said 'no, I'll be fine' - I then looked and you should get a free tea/coffee and bread & butter with it! I'd have had the cuppa tea if I'd have known and the bread & butter was included? Felt a bit cheated TBH, but the food was good! 3* due to that.

It was really good food, the staff was awesome, I couldn't have asked for more

Lovely juberly fish and chips I will be buying again.😋

Excellent take out fish and chips. I do find the service a bit slow at times.

Kept walking past this place and it always had a queue. Decided to give into temptation and pop in. I’m so glad I did. They offer some alcoholic drinks alongside your meal which was a pleasant surprise. Menu was clear, very well priced and everything came with tea/coffee and bread & butter. I elected for the cheeseburger meal. Was a bit confused when they asked if I wanted it battered (I declined), and they buttered the bun it came in, but still lovely. The chips were unreal, I would definitely go back and recommend.

Delicious gluten free fish and chips available on Monday and Wednesday nights. I’ve had gluten free fish and chips everywhere I come across it in the UK and this is one of the best. Eating gluten free fish and chips with Oliver’s delicious mushy peas and tea in an old fashioned cafe is an enjoyable and comforting experience. I only wish the gluten free option is available during lunch time as well. Incidentally, my husband is not gluten intolerant and he also enjoys his standard fish and chips so no sacrifices on his part for joining me on gluten free night.

Tasty fish and chips. Staff very friendly. Felt a little grubby inside, could do with a refurb. Staff looked a bit unkempt and scruffy for handling food, however, fish and chips were tasty. A little pricey compared to others and no better or worse. No reason not to go back, but equally I wouldn't rush to make it my regular.

Best fish and chips in Harrogate. Always consistent. Staff friendly.

Excellent fish and chips. Fish was fresh and tasty, chips well cooked. Tea was great too.

Came in for battered sausage and chips and curry sauce to be told they don’t do battered sausage and don’t do curry sauce?? Surely not? I work near by and found it on just eat which had these items on the menu!

Very good fish and chips to take away, cooked fresh and just right

Great fish and chips for a takeaway or sit in

We ordered 2x cod and chips and 2x battered sausage and chips. All were very tasty and freshly prepared while we waited. Staff friendly, welcoming and efficient. Tasted fantastic too

Had the gluten-free fish and chips and it was delicious. I'm usually very sensitive and had no problems at all. I'm planning on going back soon.

Excellent Fish & Chips, just what we wanted!

Cosy, no nonsense, sit in chip shop. Sat by the window and enjoyed a delicious fish supper with tasty, crispy batter. Recommended!

Grubby and grimey! Fish was dreadful. I wonder when they last changed the cooking oil? Don't waste your money here.

One of the best fish and chips we have ever had. Great prices and lovely old school atmosphere. The lady serving was also really lovely and made us feel very welcome. Would love to come back here again and would really recommend.

Tasty traditional fish and chips. And they delivered to the caravan site a few miles away. Good accessible website clear on pricing and options.

Nice fish and chips, arrived on time

Gorgeous fish and chips and lovely service. Never eaten in the restaurant before but it was fantastic. Definitely a hidden gem

Whenever I’m back in Harrogate from Oz, visiting Mum and family, I’ve got to savour fish & chips & mushy peas once again! There’s lots of good choices in Harrogate - but none are better than Oliver’s. Occasionally I’m unfaithful - but always return to the fold. Nowt better!!

6 friends went last Friday to Olivers and we had the specials, fantastic F+C, lovely moist white fish, very hot chips, great mushy peas and excellent service from Lisa.

Wow - stunning value for money! The fish and chips were first class as was the tea, bread and butter, and the mushy peas 😁 Getting in and out of the booths is challenging, especially after you've eaten 🥴 BTW there is a car park round the back (they told us after we'd been there a while) so you don't have to park on the street.

Great spot for a good honest fish and chips. Or sausage, or pie... Really good service and Dan making you feel at ease. Well worth a visit.

Used their take out service. But excellent fish & chips and great value

An honest to goodness fish & chip shop! Service was good and the menu just what you’d expect. I use the ‘sit in’ restaurant as a treat for family occasionally. I can’t often finish a portion of chips but in Oliver’s they’re absolutely perfect, side orders of mushy peas, curry sauce and a pot of tea are also great value for money.

These guys really know how to run the shop

A well run, delicious, perfect chippy. We have loved popping around the corner to Oliver’s!

Best fish and chips I've had in years. Good size portions, lovely chips. Sides of mushy peas and scraps are a must! Limited alcohol options, but don't care, I went for the food, not the drink. Waitress was kept busy but coped very well, was attentive and made no mistakes. Recommend you try it!!!

Ordered as a treat for hubby. The portion of chips was generous fish was good quality but we couldn't finish it. The meal was obviously fried in beef dripping which makes it too rich and heavy for our paletes so sadly it was a waste of money. Hubby also said the mushy peas had a funny taste.

THE best fish and chips in Harrogate. Don’t be put off by the decor in the restaurant, the food is well worth it.

If you want warmed up old cold chips this is the place to go. Olympic Gold in uneatable warmed up chips. Absolutely a rip off. Go elsewhere. You have been warned.

Best fish and chips I have eaten in a long while, crispy dry chips with perfectly cooked haddock. Staff down to earth happy to help people. Would visit again next time I am in town.

Amazing fish n chips, has gluten free too, which is a bonus. Spam fritters are great, and curry sauce is good too. Staff are really friendly and the service is great. It's really good value for money as well.

Didn't wait long to be served. Lovely fresh hot fish and chips. Staff friendly and swift. Will use them again. Highly recommended. Delicious.

A real old fashioned chippy and restaurant. Don't let the decor deter you!The fish and chips were lovely. Nice chips and good chunky fish with lovely crispy batter. A great retro experience and the staff were lovely too.

The best haddock and chips that I have had in ages. Tasty crunchy batter with no greasy taste at all. Lovely fresh hot chips. Washed down with tea and bread and butter. £ 8.25 per head.

Fish is always fresh and crispy and the chips are delicious

Very disappointed. The fish was dry.

Good fish and chips with reasonable price 🐟 +🍟

Great fish and chips, the mega fish is awesome. All cooked fresh with plenty of batter.

Lovely, friendly staff, fab fish and chips, just what we wanted. Would recommend! Great value too!

So my dad has been very ill recently so I thougut it would be a nice idea to take him to Olivers Fish and Chips on Cold Bath Road to cheer him up a little bit. The woman that was providing our service, was blunt and rude. She slapped glasses on the table, and complained about how we were “wasting” her time when all we did was ask for our drinks. She was blantenly rude and disrespectful. I just wanted to have a nice time with my dad and it was spoilt by some ignorant woman.

Woman taking the order was rude, and ok on the call 90 minutes later as the food had t arrived was stil rude. Food was poor quilailty, dry fish with too much batter and small portions

Best fish and chip shop that I have ever been to. The fish was so nice and there chips were too. Nice people. Higly recommend.

Recommended by hotel and met expectations. Saw locals dining in also.

We went here yesterday whilst we were in Harrogate for a pest product exhibition. The food was amazing with spam fritters that took me back to being a young lady in junior school (I’m now 50!) 😜😜 The lady that served us our meal was friendly and welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit here and would highly recommend

We were three fellas staying away for work - out looking for some good food. We stumbled across this place and thought it a real “blast from the past “! Unpretentious, inviting with an aroma reminding me of fish and chips that my gran used to make. We weren’t disappointed , a basic table with all the condiments you need - Haddock & chips with a spam fritter, cooked to perfection ( loved the spam fritter ). Served and looked after by a lovely lady, very friendly. Excellent value as well. This place reminded me that posh & expensive isn’t always the way to go. Basic, honest, well prepared - what a gem of a place 🙂

One of the nicest fish and chips I have had, good sized portion and reasonably priced ..friendly staff too .

£6.85 for sausage chips cheese and small curry. Didn’t get any cheese tho. Pricey but was nice

Fantastic place to eat. Excellent food, beautifully crispy batter on fish. Friendly service and reasonably priced. Would definitely visit again. Highly recommended .

Delicious fish and chips but very annoying the portions are smaller when ordering via Deliveroo vs takeaway in person. I'd expect to get a similar portion size given it's a few quid more expensive than in the shop.

It was my first time trying Olivers .. Nice chips and mushy peas.. Friendly staff.. However the regular fish was very.. very small. I'd say like.. any other "normal" reg fish but halved straight down the middle.. Length ways . Just a heads up.

Been going there for years. Best fish and chips.

Absolutely spot on Haddock & Chips, Curry Sauce and Mushy Pies… Pot of Tea. Cooked in Beef Dripping.. Very nice service in the Restaurant too.. 😎👍

Popped in to the restaurant last week with a good selection of food and drinks for a reasonable price with the portions being spot-on with the right amount of fish and chips for a portion.The waitress that served us was very friendly and was very polite and attentive.

Always fast friendly service and good food

We were staying in small b&b about half a mile away but as it was a very cold and frosty night rang Oliver’s for a delivery , no problem they said and will ring you when on the way. Perfect timing and to cap it the food was among the best fish and chips we have had.

Had fish and chips takeaway to eat in the car before heading back to Stoke-on-Trent, absolutely fried to perfection.

Vague memory of last week's visit. I was truly hammered but enjoyed my f&s in the belting rain on the way home from town. Apologies to everyone else in the shop that day for any offence caused.

Damn good fish and chips, amongst the best I've had in England

Oh dear, I feel like I've just been ripped off....ordered fish, chips, sausages, spam fritters through just eat.....probably the worst food I have ever had and cost me £35!! The batter was burnt and could not cut through it!, the fish was over cooked and the size of a sprat (all batter) the chips where scarce and tasted odd. the cans of pop was the best part. Certainly won't be using them again, and will have to Bob in so what's going on there, as used to be nice??!!

Excellent fish and chips, cheerful and speedy service.

Always delicious, hot fish and chips..have visited many times inside the restaurant since 2005 with friends and family..... During covid ordered deliveries. Always excellent... However, Had an issue with just eat driver's strange actions recently.. . I have a peephole in my door so witnessed her behaviour. She seemed to think it very funny! Gossiping with my neighbour who I haven't even met!! However, restaurant believed her story so they cancelled my next order!! As I say, very disappointed after my support over so many years.

Got the order wrong, even after I repeated myself several times and corrected it. Scuddy tiny little piece of fish for the price of 6oz of beluga caviar. Atmosphere? It's a fish and chip shop, it has no atmosphere.

Visited this place for the first time after reading good online reviews. It did not disappoint! The food was absolutely wonderful and well cooked and the service was very friendly. It took a little while for our order to arrive but I would rather wait longer and have it taste better than be rushed. Would definitely recommend this place to others.

Looking forward to my fish and chip this evening was disappointing the batter wasn't fluffy and light infact it was dark and horrible. service could have been more welcoming. should have taken a picture I'm not going again.

Bought a portion of fish and chips this evening. After one taste of the rubbery fish batter and semi warm soggy chips , the lot went in the bin. Maybe Sunday night is not the night . Bought proper chips elsewhere.

I came to visit a few days ago with my client who was in a wheelchair. Even though the restaurant did not have wheelchair access the staff were amazing and helped me in and out of the restaurant. I was not expecting staff to go out of their way for me and I really appreciate their kindness. The food was brilliant and the pricing was great. Will be definitely visiting again. Thankyou again
