Rennards Fish and Chips in Scarborough

Chips Luke warm & chewy. Fish & Spam fritter over cooked. Mushy peas nice, picked onion nice.

Hugs and Kisses to the Wonderful People at Rennards Fish and Chips in Scarborough England! Thank You for THE BEST fish, chips and mushy peas that I ever had, and I don't care for deep fried foods (I prefer my fish poached, grilled and pan fried with mash or rice and salad). But coming to England I had to try Real fish and chips. To be fair, I tried 2 other places so that I could have a comparison, one was a fancy restaurant (way more expensive) and they just didn't meet the food I had at Rennards. And the hard working folks there are ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL PEOPLE! If I could, I would fly from Canada, every time I craved their food. P.S We ate there twice and let me tell you...BIG PORTIONS, I couldn't finish mine, but the fish was still AMAZING cold. THANK YOU Rennards, Be safe, be well and be Blessed. Canako and Colin from Canada.

Delicious. Nice meaty fish and very friendly staff :)

Never received my order. Why bother giving a code to give to driver, to prove the order is going to the correct customer, when they don’t ask for it? Doubtful I’ll get my money back neither.

Had a take out of cod chips curry and peas after reading reviews online! The fish peas and curry ok but the chips were rubbish hard and tough so ruined it for us

We stopped her about 9.30pm on Friday and I'm so glad we did. Fish & chips were fantastic and massive portions. 😋

The best fish and chips I have ever had! Came here while on holiday with the family. We were greeted by the friendly staff as we walked in. Fish was cooked to order with the crispiest, most delicious batter. The fish inside was soft and perfectly cooked. The chips were pale in colour and perfectly cooked, very crispy on the outside, and had chip spiceon them which was a first for me but definitely recommended, had to buy some to take home as the whole family loved it so much.

I ordered a large cod and chips, the portion of chips was tiny I was still hungry after. I also asked for scraps and it came with none. Hopefully they aren’t as stingy next time! It did taste good besides that.

i come to scarborough every year from vancouver . these sre the best fish and chips anywere thanks good people

The best fish and chips anywhere, especially as they allow adults to have child portions. The waitress was lovely, she really made us feel welcome.

Love this chippy apart from my order has been incorrect twice instead of three gravy’s I got three Currys apart from that the food is perfect

Best fish and chips I ever had in my life brilliant definitely coming back soon again thanks for staff member great customer service reasonable price brilliant food 10 out of 10👍

Whilst on holiday in Scarborough we wanted to try "Rennards Fish and Chips", we booked for delivery, our order came bang on time, piping hot, well packaged and we have to say our meal was " Superb" no other words would describe the large succulent haddock, golden battered to perfection, "chips a plenty" done to perfection and of course "stick to yr ribs" mushy peas. What was there not to like, 🤷‍♂️ Rennards is now our "Go To" fish and chip meal when next in the area, Simply Awesome, Thanks to all at Rennards, Keep up the Great Work.

Best Fish and Chips I have ever had, every one is cooked to order and had a spam fritter on the walk to Hotel, Crispy and fresh next time I visit Scarborough this will be the first place I visit

Thankyou so much to the lovely friendly staff.. we came both nights for our tea while we stayed the weekend.. the staff were amazing the food was delicious freshly cooked we couldn't say anything else but amazing 😋 extra thanks for kirsty's Spam you made her weekend cooking this for her both nights.. we can't wait to come back to see you all

Staff are really nice, disappointed that a chip shop had no cod 😕

Amazing fish and chips and delivered on time with no mistakes

A great chippy, serving fresh fish and chips. With gravy and mushy peas 😎

Was there for a corps tour, excellent food and service will definitely recommend.

Beautiful place and beautiful fish and chips I love you so much

Came across this place by chance on a walk back to our campsite. Fish and chips as good as any I've ever had. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

A real chip shop, excellent fish and chips, and excellent chips in curry sauce. Amazing.

Great food and great people. All the way from America. Try them out!

Great food and service. The regular haddock and chips is magic. Cooked to perfection, swift organised service. Randomly....they have pickled onions like golf balls. Great chippy!!

Super good food and super good service

Poor service long time to get order. Chips were Poor quality and as was the fish. Seagull food

Chips were old hard and greasy, mushy peas were slop, fish was dry and bread bun was stale. Staff couldn’t care less. No wonder it has a 0 hygiene rating!

Been coming to this chip shop on our holidays for a few years now, this time the chips were awful over cooked and I'd say been in for a while if it wasn't for our family to be back at resort I would have taken them back. I was really disappointed I won't be returning to this chip shop again straight in the bin. Really wish I had taken a picture the chips were brown and very poor quality. Don't know if it's under new owners or not but somebody needs to learn how to cook proper chips.

My chips was burnt and not edible ! Was a waste of money!

It smelled all over the street, so we decided what to have for dinner, we chose the special menu, cod and chips and gravy, once a curry, and beans, the fish was super crispy, and the chips were heaps, it was a great portion for great money .

Fresh and tasty. I loved the curry sauce.

As usual excellent. Fish cooked to order, beautiful cod, chips nicely done, dogs love the battered sausage, as good a quality as you would get anywhere, and at half the price of same food down south

Lovely fish and chips, highly recommended!

Great customer service and great fish & chips!

The best fish&chips I ever had . And very friendly staff. Thank you very much Sandy and staff . See you next year.

Great chippy, easily the best in Scarborough.

We were not waiting long for our generous serving of haddock & chips. We ordered the large size haddock & it was huge. Very well cooked with crispy batter & mounds of chips.

Absolutely delicious! You get a warm welcome when you come in, the fish is so good and cooked to perfection. I come here every time i have friends or family visiting and they all loved Rennards fish and chips! Highly recommended

Unfortunately not a good experience this time round, the chips were definitely left over from previous day and reheated. Had to wait for the member of staff to finish her cigarette out front before coming in to serve. A shame as we've had good fish and chips here before.

Beautiful food, not greasy, crisp batter on fish. Very generous portions. Would definitely buy from here again.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. My favourite chippy can't recommend enough

Haddock chips curry sauce tonight and a tub of chip spice which I've never seen before. Very tasty, good value and the staff were great. Highly recommended. The fishcake and potato scallops were poor by comparison and to be avoided.

I got a message ready for collection, still had to wait 15 minutes! Peas like water, chips half cooked, sausage over cooked and greasy hard batter!!!! Never again will I go there! GROSS!!!! 🤢

It was lovely fish and great chips

At least, I did get a drink this time. They just delivered the wrong one! Third time lucky, next time… 🙄

Great fish and chips - the food was freshly cooked. The staff were also really nice and chatty. They were open after many other shops had closed.

Wow!! Drove up from London today and checked into a B&B just a stroll from Rennards. I was undecided when I was looking at the menu until the lady waiting for my order suggested their special. I'm glad it was recommended as it was lovely. Shame I'm only up here for a few days, I'd defo be back. One to remember for when I'm next up here.

I've been using Rennards fish and chips for the last couple of years and can honestly say I've never had a complaint. It does help being close to home too.

Fish and chips nice but needs to do gluten free batter in stead of just frying plain fish

Never a bad review for Rennards!

Friendly service but the chips had a soapy sour taste, no one could eat them. Lot of money for fish and chips these days so wasted money.

I was looking forward to a nice can of coke to enjoy with my takeaway. It didn’t arrive, so I had to make do with a glass of water 🥲

My favourite place for fish and chips. My friend and I come here at least once a month when I visit. The fish is always crispy and tasty, portion sizes are generous, and the staff are wonderful. We wouldn't go anywhere else. Even the small (special) fish n' chips is too big for me!

Downside there wasn’t any scraps with my order

Fish and chips is like my regular meal in every day but when I'm visited here it's was amazing 👏 the taste exactly same which i like the most 👌👌👌👌👌👌

The best fish and chips i ever had. ❤️ Every fish lover have to go there once i bet you that will be not your once after 🫡

A better driver than last time tysm

Driver got lost and proceeded to put down that they had delivered I didn't get my order

Excellent customer service! Both staff members that were working on Sunday 14th January 2023 couldn't be kinder to myself and other customers that were there when I was, Thank you and thanks for the lovely food too! 😊

Came after work with friend yesterday. Friday afternoon. Asked for 2 chip butties. Well after 15 mins waiting we got them. The chips were undercooked and tasted fowl. Basically old chips and just trying it on. Was not edible so they went in bin. We are in bad times yes but dont rip people off of there money on poor food.

4 fish chips and peas no complaints really good food and service thanks

Cooked to perfection nice meaty cod highly recommended

Missing the 500ml bottle of coke, instead they sent a 330ml can

Simply the best fish and chips in Scarborough and Gluten Free options.

The best chippy in Scarborough I'd give it a 10 star if I could.. genuinely it's that nice. Staff are also really friendly.. we’ve always been welcomed with a warm smile!

Best chippy in Scarborough. Need I say more?

Started off with a 25 past 5 delivery time, finally comes at 6:30, fish is rubbery as anything and un edible, chips look anemic, and the sausages are barely cooked absolutely appalling

I ordered battered sausage,fish cake and curry sauce, they even threw some chips in for free i throughly enjoyed it all. Even though i got it delivered it was still piping hot

Battered sausage and fish cake were lovely, the curry sauce amazing, and thanks for throwing in a few chips even though i didn't order any, all in all, i throughly enjoyed it

Sadly the can of drink was warmer than the food which was stone cold not even warm, delivery took over an hour. Very disappointing as I have wasted £18

Easy ordering and delivery was around the time required. Haddock and chips nicely cooked and arrived hot enough to eat without rewarming. Only reason lost one star was ordered large fish wanting a nice thick fillet but was sent one and a half thin fillets which meant batter stuck to fish too much and edges were too dried out. Was good enough overall to try Rennards again the future though. Thanks.

Ordered 2 large haddock and chips for delivery through Just Eat. Arrived around time ordered 4.30 p.m. and well hot enough to eat without rewarming being needed. All a good start. Overall quality, taste and eatability of the fish and chips was good. Only slight disappointment was the fish was not a large single fillet as ordered, this typically is a nicer thicker flesh, and we got one and a half small fillets as the alternative which where thinner and the batter was too crispy at the fish edges which made the thinner fish a little too dry. Overall was impressed by delivery/eatability and will order again in the future but add a note about trying to use the expected larger single thicker fillet.

Pleasant driver quick delivery many thanks

Absolutely shocking. Ordered through just eat and the order was accepted. Receive a call an hour after to say they’re shut and I won’t receive the order. Why accept it then! I expect to receive my full refund by tomorrow!

Even though she got slightly lost she was pleasant food was still hot I enjoyed it ty

Fish was far from fresh. Really disappointed

Very friendly in here and delicious food, we were on holiday and we were recommended the ‘scraps’ for on top the chips - lovely!

Great food and delivered quickly

Nearly Cold on arrival, prob not fish and chip shop's fault. Driver did not have it in a heat proof bag!

Over an hour late and all food freezing cold and un eatable

Not bad at all quiet like it decent

The food is amazing can't beat fish and chips by the sea

Great value portion wise and it did come hot, only caveat I had was it was very chewy and the fish seemed over fried, a good quarter had batter but no fish inside it so it was just chewy but the fish that wasn't tasted good.

Excellent food however missed chips from the 'large haddock and chips'

When staying in Whitby before ate here so on a day out from Scarborough choose to eat here. The food is excellent with the menu that is expected with a seaside venue .

Food fresh and delicious as always ordered fish on its own as i have a small appetite and got a handful of chips thrown in for free thankyou so much

Me and my second wife bought a large bag of chips here with a gherkin. My second wife enjoyed them very much and we both thought they were of excellent quality. We were tired having cycled some distance in terrible weather and the hot, tasty, salt and vinegar-laced chips cheered us up no end. It is a place to visit when in Scarborough.

Fantastic. Can’t beat these fish and chips.

I come to Scarborough once a year with friends, and this has become our go-to chippy. Good sized portions, fair prices, and great service. Walked down to South Bay to enjoy them, and enjoyed them so much we forgot to take a picture! We'll be back next year. 👍

In my opinion the best chippy in Scarborough, come every time we are on holiday here, Chips and Fish every time abit expensive these days but well worth it, we always have a good meal here.

I come with friends to Scarborough once a year and this has become our go-to place for Fish and Chips. Excellent food, at good prices and friendly service. You can still walk down to the beach before they get cold and enjoy. Keep it up!

Really tasty piece of cod and perfectly cooked chips, both in generous portions. I will happily order from here again. Delivery was quick and friendly.

Great freshly cooked fish and chips. Big portions, crispy batter and real dripping fried chips.

We've just had a delivery, large battered sausage and peas, and a large fish and chips with gravy. My honest review is as follows; strange mushy peas as some of them were hard, and both myself and my partner stated that the chips were undercooked, the larger ones were hard when you bit into them. My partner says that the large fish and chips are 'average'. We won't order again.

Unfortunately some of the chips were hard when bitten into, some of the peas were like bullets, and the fish and chips at best were average. The sausage and gravy however were tasty.👎

EXCELLENT FISH AND CHIPS, AND VERY REASONABLY PRICED. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

Small portions and completely cold when it arrived (30 minutes late)

No bread bun and the chips were not good. I threw most of them away. They were cold and chewy. Pie was great though.

Very poor and missing chips very disappointed

without exaggeration, really fish and chips are almost always very tasty. And the curry sauce is simply a masterpiece! The best curry sauce I've had in England. But I can say for sure that everything depends on the cook and the girl standing at the cash register. Before, a girl, apparently of Indian nationality, worked almost constantly. She was always very friendly and attentive, the portions were always complete, the food was always hot and fresh, the curry sauce was thick and tasty, she always asked if I needed a packet and napkins. But recently a girl with blond hair started working. I don't know why this happens, but the food is often not hot, the portions are very small, the curry sauce is often diluted with water, and the food almost always has a lot of salt. Moreover, vinegar, I always ask not to add it to the food, but once she added vinegar and I had to just throw the food away. He does not offer packages, instead of napkins he puts some kind of toilet paper (blue) in the package. I'm sorry, but normal napkins are not that expensive. And why is she always unhappy when she is asked something... if you don't consider the work of this not very friendly girl - 10/10! 5 stars anyway. Now we just go to the establishment, first see who is working, and then decide whether to buy food or not. thank you! sorry for the criticism. But it was criticism not with malice, but with kindness. I wish your institution further growth and prosperity.
