Restaurant 55 in Scarborough

Probably the best fish and chips I've ever had and I'm 78 so I've eaten a lot! Excellent service and spotlessly clean place. Well worth a stroll up the hill from the harbour and if you're lucky enough to get a window seat you're rewarded with a great sea view. 5*****.

First fish and chips after almost 3 years living in Germany! Fantastic food! A storm was battening the streets - roof tiles everywhere- so we ate in at the restaurant. Food was fantastic: fresh cut chips, large fish with beautifully crispy batter. The portions were large; good local beer too! Generous sides (went for the holy trinity of peas, gravy and curry) Staff were friendly and service was fast. Will definitely go back - hopefully a lot sooner than another 3 years!

Ordered around 18:30 on Just Eat, it stated 8pm was shut off, thought perfect plenty of time, I spent around £35 way too pricey, but wanted to try it out and I expected it to be good, I don’t mind paying for good food. All this just for it to be cancelled at 7pm on the dot :/ what a waste of my time and effort, ended up ordering else were, shame really as we wanted to try this place but this has been a major put off.

Can't comment on the food but visited and the staff were very rude and inconsiderate left without eating, avoid if you have special dietary requirements, these will not be interested in helping

Excellent fish and chip restaurant. Food cooked to perfection a little bit pricey but worth it. The waitress who served us very attentive and friendly.

Delicious food. I enjoyed the line caught haddock with crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside chips. Mixed platter was equally as delicious. The service is second to none. Food arrives piping hot and well presented. A good choice of hot drinks, soft drinks, wines and beers available. We enjoyed seating with a lovely seaview. Another bonus is their warm dog friendly policy. Great place to enjoy time with family and friends.

We dropped in for food hoping there would be room for 10 of us without booking and we were not disappointed. Nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff here. Very attentive and helpful. The food was beautiful! Some of the best fish and chips we've ever had! The chef coming to check on us was a lovely touch. Highly recommend!

I must say that this chip shop has impeccable staff who treat customers with a great amount of respect. I have used my locals discount card for a 10% discount a couple of times. On this occasion I asked for Halloumi fries because I'm dieting and they had only two left and they were kind enough to let me have them as a gift so I could sample them. The fries tasted amazing and I will be back for more in the future. I will spread the word and tell people. Another point I'd like to add is that you are not stingy with the chips. My previous order was huge and would say was excellent value for money.

Excellent service and we really appreciated the 1:1 service from the chef regarding a diary allergy

A great view of Scarborough Bay, to go with great fish & chips! Good value-for-money, too. Very cheery welcome, & helpful staff. Recommended.

If you are going to publish that you are open until 9pm then you should be open until 9pm. Turned up at 8.30pm and it was closed. Not good.

Wow. Without doubt the best fish and chips I've had in years. Great service, and super friendly staff. Can't fault it.

WOW!! What a find this place is. Stumbled upon it by chance. Such nice and friendly staff to greet us, we were seated by the window overlooking bay. Menu was very extensive and we chose the large haddock, it was more huge than large I wish I had had the smaller portion. Chips were nice and chunky and not fatty. Fish was nice and batter was lovely. Chef came out to ask if all was good. The place was immaculate and clean. Toilets were very very clean. Would recommend and definitely be back. Thank you all for a fabulous experience.

Delicious lunch today, perfectly cooked, crisp and fresh. We ordered haddock and plaice, both tasty. Staff friendly and keen to help. Toilets clean. First time visiting here and when we are back in Scarborough we won’t hesitate to come back again

Best fish and chips anywhere. Had the jumbo cod and chips, and it was jumbo. Very good very nice 👍

Very nice fish and chips. Lovely place

Spotlessly clean with friendly efficient staff. Lovely views across South Bay and dog friendly. Excellent portion sizes - even for 'seniors' and good value for money. Look forward to returning!

Super clean toilet. Clean eating areas table not sticky! Fish nice, maybe go for the cod loin next time. Waitress proper nice and friendly.

We made a very big takeaway order of 15 fish and chips. And it was brilliant. The food was hot, tasty and good portion sizes. The staff were also fantastically helpful. The gravy, curry and tartrate sauces were very good.

What delicious fish'n chips!! I was so happy :) So glad we stopped by! Very nice staff and lovely view of the beach.

Best fish & chips we've had well cooked tasty highly recommend great venue,sea view,good atmosphere & service can't wait to return.

Super yummy and epic sized portions

We only just discovered Catch 55 and I have to say we're glad we have. The haddock is nice and fresh, chips are perfect and the fishcakes are packed full. This has now become our regular treat! Thank you 😊

Actually still sat in the restaurant and have thoroughly enjoyed our family meal, very friendly, clean and would highly recommend. Will certainly visit again and become a traditional visit when coming to Scarborough.

Only five stars......I would like to award eight

I can honestly say these were the best fish and chips I've ever eaten. The homemade fishcake was fantastic and the haddock was the best I've ever had. The smaller posrtions are a really great size. And the lady behind the counter is amazingly Friendly! The best customer service I've had in years! She's lovely! Didn't catch her name but she told me she used to run a cafe! Honestly don't miss this place it's fantastic

Came to Scarborough for the first time, wanted to sit on the beach and eat fish & chips. Headed straight here after reading reviews and wasn't disappointed. Fish cooked fresh in front of us. Best fish and chips I've had.

Delicious fish and chips with a beautiful sea view. Lovely girl waited on us, nothing too much trouble.

We were warmly greeted, the cafe was spotlessly clean and we were given a table with fabulous views. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and were really on the ball re gluten free food. My gluten free haddock & chips was the best I’ve had, as was my partners normal haddock & chips . We’re going back for more before the end of our holiday!

Beautiful food gorgeous view over the lifeboat station friendly staff and extremely clean. I had haddock chips peas gravy and hubby had trio of fishcakes. We will return

Nice fish and chips just a little greasy for me.

Went yesterday (15//9/24). Had cod and chips. The portions were huge! Cooked to perfection, beautiful fish and light crispy batter. The staff were really friendly and the restaurant was spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend and we will be back again soon!

Beautiful fish and chips, definitely come again can't wait , everything was spot on and a very good price for a massive plate full . Service was great and staff friendly 👍🏻

What an experience ! No wonder it's highly rated on Trip - I can't think why people put 3*or less over minor things ? Ordered the platter for two ,omg, it's enormous - there's not portion control here !! The chef even comes out to ask if all is OK and you're happy ! Can't fault the service or the food in any way, shape, or form . If I lived closer, it would be a monthly visit, but sadly, a 41/2hr drive each way says no. But we visit twice a year - and I will be back ! Hope I convinced you to have a try ,you won't be disappointed!!

Food good quality. Please when wiping tables dont just wipe debris onto the floor :(

We were a party of 32 on a Sunday evening after celebrating my daughter’s wedding and we couldn’t have been treated any better on our visit here. All of the food was served hot and delicious with generous portions and tasty homemade tartare sauce. The service was excellent and the newly weds were made to feel very special. I would highly recommend to anyone who loves good food (especially fish and chips) Can’t wait to come again. Thank you 🙂

Friendly staff and nice atmosphere

decided on here after reading reviews and they do gluten free but unfortunately I won't be returning. the young lady that served us was very blunt and not polite, food had been kept warm for too long and the wait for gluten free was an hour.

Absolutely perfect pure white cod, all our meals were lovely, we was made very welcome not like winking willy's on seafront bad attitude, all friendly staff here nothing was too much trouble, place looked clean and tidy too thank you we hope you are open when we visit again from 27th Dec to 30th Dec xxx

Found the reviews on Tripadvisor and decided to see for ourselves. Kindly welcome at the door. The place wasn’t busy, but was noticeably very clean and tidy (even the loo was clean…how nice!). The food was delicious, the cod done to perfection. Of course we had curry sauce and mushy peas too! Unfortunately the senior option we opted for (hoping for a smaller platter) still exceeded our abilities… Lovely place, good service and good food. What more do you want when in Yorkshire?

Visited here as it advertised gluten free fish option and was not disappointed!, very friendly staff fish and chips and fish and mash was gorgeous!! The wife had gluten free fish in batter, with salad and gluten free gravy, shes allergic to a host of things but had no problems at all after eating her meal, will definitely return.

Absolutely the best fish and chips ever had,beautiful clean restaurant,very attentive and friendly staff ,couldn’t eat another thing,jumbo haddock was amazing,definitely recommend.

Had lovely lunch in immaculate surroundings. Perfectly cooked fish was best we have had for long time, place was busy but staff were faultless in serving us.

Excellent staff all very pleasant and efficient. Great service and great food. Ample portions and all freshly made . Would definitely recommend and will go back !

Went along based on recommendations. Wasn’t disappointed. The service was excellent as was the head of house. The head chef came and greeted us and ensured our food was up to standard. It was. I had the fish pie special which was creamy and delicious. Full of fish in eat bite. The chips were cooked to perfection. My wife had the cod. She is an experienced fish frier herself so knows the trade. Her fish was very fresh, meaty and cooked to perfection. The batter was just right. Golden and crispy. Cannot speak highly enough of Martin and his team and the product they serve. To cap it off. We felt it was priced just right and not over the top. We shall return next time we visit Scarbados.

Some of the best gluten free chips etc that we've had. Nice and crispy and good amount. Seemed very knowledgeable too....

5 star experience food was very tasty and high quality and staff were so accommodating and welcoming would highly recommend.

Outstanding service!! Amazing quality food at decent prices!! The seafood platter was perfect!! Highly recommend!! 10/10*

Superb food, great value. The platter for two is unreal. Service was very good and the head chef even pops around the tables to chat to patrons. The lady serving us also gave our Lhasa apso a free sausage and a bowl of water, which he enjoyed immensely - such a welcoming place. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent service, Excellent food, excellent location. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent friendly service . Outstanding Fish & Chips 🍟. Touch pricey, but you pay for good quality food and service 👌

Great food, wonderful service ... The waitress was hilariously funny and attentive...

Great gluten free awareness and wonderful service. Plus super dog friendly. I'm only visiting for 4 days but I definitely think I'll be back

Only went because they do gultenfree only to be told there would be over a hour wait because restaurant was busy it looked empty and we where in the take away side lucky my daughter can troalate chips but still had a 15 minute wait and the takeaway side was empty only us in

Excellent all round! Good sized portions for the price and very tasty. Great view from the window. All gave us a bowl of water for the dog and complimentary sausage for him. Staff were very nice and prompt.

Visited Catch 55 for the first time last Sunday and was impressed with the whole set up good food and run very efficiently, because we visited Scarborough for a second time on Tuesday we decided to use Catch 55 again because of our first visit, oh dear what a mistake can't make my mind up if it was because different Staff were working or the first time was a fluke I think it may have been the latter. On arrival the vibe of the place straight away was different the main problem was the staff were Rude sloppy and slow we sat at the table for a good ten minutes before anyone served us the were congregated near the steps to the upper food preperation level they then took the orders of two other tables who came in after us before anyone bothered with us, when the food did arrive it was average at best. This was a total contrast to Sunday. If I were to use this establishment again it would be a case of having a look what staff was on and if it wasn't the Sunday staff I wouldn't be bothering.

Excellent experience today!! We visited Scarborough and came across this lovely place. A very friendly place and a lovely welcome. The food was delicious! If we're in the area again we'd definitely return!!

I went here 5 times over a 7 day period whilst on holiday with my mam and autistic son, the staff were brilliant and 1 in particular my son took a liking to I didn’t catch her name and the cook had no objections with my sons requests with his food, it has amazing views looking out over the beach, food is amazing and big portions you definitely get what you pay for it’s a 10 out of 10 from us and we will definitely be back!

This was one of the best fish meals we have ever had. The fish platter for two was totally amazing. Very friendly staff as well. We will definitely go there again next time we are in Scarborough. 10/10 recommend

First rate fish and chips great for allergies. Gluten free all cooked in separate fryer. Large portions. Would highly recommend.

Arrived at the restaurant which was also dog friendly. We were greeted by a waitress we found to be called Jenny who took our orders, even our dog was given a free sausage and a bowl of water making you feel even more welcome. We ordered gluten free fish and chip meals and we were not disappointed. Stand out of this restaurant apart from the food was the amazing staff especially Jenny who was warm and friendly Would we visit the restaurant again 🤔 Definitely on our next visit to Scarborough

My new favourite Scarborough chippy. Had the large fish and struggled to finish it. Prices are not inflated like most chippy's and can take out or eat in. Would highly recommend

This is a very nice restaurant the food was very nice and the staff were very friendly the good fish and chip restaurant in Scarborough thank you everyone I will come back again

We are always on the lookout for good gluten free fish and chips as my husband is a coeliac, and Catch 55 did not disappoint. Really delicious and generously portioned. The service was excellent and we will definitely be returning.

Best fish and chips ever.👍 Vegetarian lasagne delicious. Chef and staff lovely people. Definitely worth a visit ot two 😉

Food was really good, crispy chips, food portions was a bit much TBF but not gonna complain about that! The staff were really friendly and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend, especially cause of the view across the bay.

We went there for the weekend last week and Took are Gran kids.The staff couldn’t do enough for us.The food was Amazing.The fish was a very generous size.The price was very fare The manager Martin came over to us and had a chat.CATCH 55 .Give it a try you will definitely go back we will .10/10

Absolutely delicious food, would highly recommend a visit. The staff were very friendly and so helpful. We will definitely be visiting again soon!

Really great meal, wonderful service, calamari was incredible

This is the only place we could find near Scarborough beach that offered gluten free chips. And they were cooked in a separate kitchen. Lady at counter was super helpful and made sure we walked out with Napkins.

Lovely food and brilliant service, they might have forgot the gravy but the lady who served the table was greats with the kids and looked after us. I’d definitely recommend this place.

Absolutely sensational fish and chips. By far the best I've had on the East Coast. They have got something special here. Traditional and fried in beef dripping - Absolutely exceptional. Beautiful haddock, amazing chips, mooshy peas, curry and tartare sauce. The only downside the fish was skinless but faultless otherwise.

Had lunch yesterday among the best fish and chips ever 😁 wife isn’t a great fan of fish and chips but she really enjoyed the trio of fish cakes portions were large and the food was well priced Well done 😁

The food was briillant, really tasty and great portions, the young waitresses attitude spoilt the meal a little as we asked for missing items but slamming down the peas on the table wasn't the reply my Wife was thinking of. The chef was extremely polite and helpful when clearing the table, and the head chef was very friendly and polite asking if we had enjoyed the meal. Overall a lovely meal, yes the restaurant was shift staffed but there is no need for attitude towards the customer. A pleasurable experience with a slight blotch.

Nice fish and chips sat in a pleasantly clean place eith great views.

Without a doubt, this is the best fish & chips we have ever had ever 😋 ❤️. Food and service is second to none. And a lovely clean and friendly environment 😊. Would definitely recommend and will most definitely be back. Thank you catch 55 👌

Wonderful fish and chips, some of the best I've had for a while! And generous portions! Highly recommend

First time been in Catch 55, after many years of going to Scarborough. Wow, such a lovely place. Greet you as walk in. Being early we had choice of where to seat, so we sat by window overlooking the beach and sea. Waiting staff so kind and friendly. Open kitchen, so get to see your food being cooked. And it was delicious. We will definitely be going back. Highly recommend. Well worth the 5 stars.

Went this afternoon, food fantastic. Service excellent, the ladies were so kind friendly and made us feel so welcome. We are support workers , and visiting with clients. They went out of their way ,to speak to us, and treat us lovely. Said only been open 5 weeks. Just wanted to say well done , everything was terrific. Thank you.😃

Had a lovely meal with our 3 children and dog this evening. The staff were so friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. The decor was light and airy, with a view of the harbour. Will definitely be back again soon. 😁😋

We had cod, chips and mushy peas, haddock, chips and curry sauce, 2 pints of Scarborough Fair IPA. Not the cheapest at £43.38 but absolutely delicious and worth the money. We had a window seat overlooking the beach. Totally recommend this place. All cooked to order, the batter, light and crispy and the fish perfect

Food ok, helpful staff, clean restaurant and toilet, good view.

Brilliant place and the cod was good too! Gluten free options were well catered for. Tasty food. Reasonably priced, all good

Great food, nice surroundings, the service left a lot to be desired, young staff not paying attention to customers needs

Great customer service with a lovely view. Fish and chips are OK too.

fabulous plaice lol , food was excellent as I only eat a small amount it wasnt a problem , batter so light and tasty , Martins reputation goes with him , you wont be dissapointed and the restaurant is beautifully decorated and and has beautifully sea views

Just need to state that this fish was perfection!! The best ive ever had in fact. I would eat here everyday if i lived in Scarborough lol. Absolutely fantastic i would definitely recommend.

This is by far the best fish and chip restaurant I have ever been in. From first walking through the door we were warmly welcomed and things got better and better. The table waitress was jolly, chatty, polite and extremely efficient, nothing was a problem and we could adopt the menu to suit or needs. I don't like chips so when asking if I could have a salad as an alternative - no problem at all. Then came the food and WOW . Although we opted for the smaller haddock option it was large to us and cooked to absolute perfection, so so tasty. All throughout the meal staff were interacting with us, even the chef came over for a chat. I did notice that a couple sat near to us had a dog with them and the chef provided it with a sausage in a doggy dish

My friend and I came and got pensioner's special food was beautiful so good we came back and had it again3 days later and it was busier but food was just as good staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble Will definitely recommend and be coming back again

Great food and excellent service, could not fault it.

Wow fabulous fish and chips at Catch 55 . I traveled from the South of England to come to this restaurant and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean and the atmosphere was great. We have a great table with a sea view. And the owner Martin made us very welcome . It is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area and the prices is very reasonable. Thank you and will visit again

Good value for money, we ordered the sharer platter, way too much food for two, and very delicious too

Visited on a very busy Saturday in Scarborough and luckily managed to get a table straight away. The waitress was very friendly and enthusiastic about the food. She assured us that the 6-8oz haddock plus chips was a good sized fish and would be more than enough and she was definitely right. The portion was very generous and was topped off nicely with perfectly made mushy peas, the best I have tasted in a long time. The fish and chips were only £11.99 plus £2 for the peas. Very good value! If you're lucky enough to get a window seat, there are lovely sea views as well. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Scarborough.

Went last night for tea, the staff were welcoming and friendly. Couldn’t do anymore for us. Thank you. Would recommend

Fabulous fish and chips done really well at a fair price. We both had the 6-8oz haddock, which we were informed was medium and was really substantial. The food was cooked to order, the fish lovely, white and flaky with a beautifully crunchy (but not too thick) batter. Friendly staff and nice surroundings, with a beautiful view over the South Bay. What's not to love? Will be back

Average. Food was ok, but there was no salad dressing for the salad which I was informed was ‘just for garnish!’ So don’t put it on my plate, and certainly don’t charge me for it.

Note this has recently reopened under new owners. Food was delicious with lovely staff and great views over the bay. Recommended

Great food, decent price, lovely staff.

Top notch fish & chips, lovely table overlooking the beach, great service & quality of food 10/10 👌👌

Waked in as the place looked good and was greeted by a lady called Mitchell who was very nice, we asked if our food could be cooked in veg oil and she said it could be done . All Food was prepared in veg oil and tasted amazing, the chef came out just to let us know all was getting prepared, the staff take great pride in there job , service/food 10 /10 . No wonder the place is the popular and busy
