Penny Black Chippy in Scarborough

We’ve been going to Scarborough as a family of 10 for a number of years and on at least one night of the week treat ourselves to fish and chips. As we always stay in the North Bay Area we’ve usually joined the queue at the chip shop named after the area…until last week when we discovered the Penny Black Chippy…it was a revelation! Lovely friendly owners, everything cooked to order, wonderful fresh fish, delicious batter, perfectly cooked chips…and the best mushy peas I’ve had in years. We went twice and this will now be our chip shop of choice in the future. Blummin’ lovely!

Quiet chippy ,soggy batter and cold gravy

Lovely fresh fish, good size portions at a very reasonable price. Very tasty, crisp light batter that wasn't greasy. Highly recommended.

Being half term I had my little one who really wanted fish and chips. As it was mid day my usual place was closed so we did a quick Google and found the penny black. The premises are clean and nice to wait inside, which is good as food was cook to order - the best way as this ensured everything was fresh and tasty. I had the haddock and chips which was excellent, and my little one had the chicken nuggets and chips meal again which was very good. Overall everything was excellent and the price was very reasonable. I think this will become my new go to for fish and chips. UPDATE: I have been many times since and this is the only fish and chips shop in Scarborough I go to now.

Take away fish and chips first class. Thank you.

Great service and fantastic food! They opened the seating area especially for us on a cold rainy day three years ago. Sorry the review is a little late.

Chips were hard, not cooked properly, fish mediocre 😕

Got two Pensioners specials...cooked to order and perfect fish chips n peas!!!!...

Absolutely disgusting they advertise they have everything on the menu but as soon as you try order most of the menu they don't have needs shutting down

Great fish and chips, clean and friendly place

Searched google reviews for the nicest fish and chips in Scarborough and boy they weren’t wrong!!! Fish and chips were beautiful and freshly fried to perfection!! Fish almost melted in my mouth and had the perfect amount of tasty batter on. The chips were beautiful aswell and I don’t normally like chips very much. Guy behind the counter was friendly and polite. Paid under £10 for cod and chips, which given the quality and taste is excellent value for money. Will definitely return here for my next fix and I’d recommend this place to everyone. Also their chunky curry sauce is mouth-wateringly tasty. One of the nicest chippys I’ve ever tasted.

Visited at the weekend, had a large order for a group of us staying at an Airbnb locally. Everything was cooked to order, the owners were so friendly and great to talk with. But most importantly the fish was excellent and the chips were spot on. Highly recommend this chip shop!

Great customer service fish was very greasy

Absolutely fabulous fish and chips. Great customer service and conversation. The small meal is more than enough. Best chippy in Scarborough for me. Try the curry, it’s gorgeous.

Delicious fish and chips at a very reasonable price. There is also a great atmosphere, with friendly staff and some fab old photos of Scarborough up on the walls, to browse as you wait.

Love coming here, friendly as and food is beaut

This is by far the best Fish and Chip shop in the local area. The food is cooked to order, the batter is fantastic and the staff are friendly. I am very fortunate to live close by so I am a regular visitor. If your regular fish and chip shop let you down, give this one a go. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Proper old fashioned Chippy. Generous portions. Great value. Can even get pickled eggs! Service with a smile and conversation.

Tasty fish and chips, cooked perfectly!

Big portion, nice and fresh. With a home made cheese butty.

Whilst on holiday, we called into this Chip Shop as we were staying close by. Everything tasted wonderful, all cooked to order, very quickly done too. Excellent value and delicious.

Decent chippy but some chips where scrappy

Lovely friendly staff with tasty food

Excellent food, good portion sizes

I get all over the country with my job and I can say this was the best fish and chips I've had in ages, will go again when I'm up that way and would definitely recomend a visit....

I live in the town and can honestly say this is one of the best around. Definitely worth a try 100%recommend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent service and excellent food.

The owner is amazing and food is amazing and cheep as I think it was £5.95 for a good size fish and chips for the price. Highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely . Freshly cooked chips and crispy batter on the fish . Really good value for money too as well as friendly staff .

First time we have been to this will certainly be going again really enjoyed our tea

Best fish and chip shop in Scarborough! Cooked fresh to order and just fabulous, you will not be disappointed.

Best workers ever and the best chipie

Absolutely fantastic. The fish was cooked perfectly and the batter nice and crispy. not mushy like most seem to be nowadays. I’ll definitely come back, I think this will be my new go-to.

Excellent fish and chips and good small local history lesson from the owner Jez. He’s clearly a local lad who knows what he’s doing. Highly recommend (and sorry again for spilling the gravy!).

I bought the pensioner special. Delicious and great value for money. It's lovely to find somewhere that cooks the fish to perfection. I will definitely be going back!

Got small fish and chips good sized portions and nice good quality food

fish and chips were delicious however the middle aged woman on the counter smelt louder than the fish in the friers in the back. im talking stanking like the seafront marine drive type stuff i couldnt breathe it stank so musty in there. she also glared at me whilst i was playing candy crush waiting for my food and she dribbled a bit at the same time. think she was called Shannon or something, needs looking into.

First time using Penny Black Chippy, will definitely use again. Food was lovely
