Robertsons Fish Restaurant in Scarborough

Couldn't fault the quantity cost or quality. Ordered from the vegan menu chips curry sauce and pea fritter. Only problem was the food wasn't piping hot surprising since it was cooked to order in a deep fat fryer.

Asked to step outside to wait even though shop empty no curry And just generally very rude Not good at all

The best chips and curry sauce I have had in a long time! Never had a pea fritter before, but wow 😮 I will be certainly having one again! All cooked in vegetable oil with its very own vegan menu! I was with a meat eater who loves chips cooked in beef dripping but after trying mine he went back to get some 🤣 This place will now be my place to go for vegan chips and a pea fritter! Thank you for making such an effort 🙏🏻

Called in for a takeaway fish and chips while on a day out. Very impressed, good portion sizes and very tasty. The price was much more reasonable than some of the other Whitby chippies I’ve visited previously

A great place if you are vegan, or not. My partner had a fantastic cod and chips, and I was delighted to see a really good vegan menu. I had chips, sausage and curry sauce, delicious. And the dog had some fish bites 🤗,all happy! Also good value for money.

We chose Robertson's because of the Vegan menu. The vegan sausage wasn't what we were expecting, being more of a battered bubble and squeak rather than a meat substitute, however they made a pleasant change and were delicious. Absolutely loved the pea fritter which is a battered ball of mushy peas. Chips were great too although portion size was on the small side, but probably enough to be fair. My only negative is that it was quite expensive in my opinion. £4 for a pea fritter or 2 small vegetable sausages seems excessive to me. Thoroughly enjoyed the food though.

This place is not halal. It was confirmed by the employees. They fry everything together in vegetable oil. So basically it's not even edible for vegetarians/ vegans.

Visited with a large group, served quickly and really well. Very impressed by gluten free options and vegetarian. Had a lovely fish and chips. Including dandelion and burdock!!

Anemic chips and thin fish in a thin batter. The worst though was the unfriendly attitude when you walked in. It seemed no one wanted to be there. Not surprised they weren't very busy

Tried and enjoyed in 2018 excellent experience with great glutten free menu. Special visit in Aug 2023. Staff friendly enough and good service HOWEVER £40 for 4 haddock and chips ( 2 of which were glutten free) very thin pieces of fish with SKIN still on and not a lot of chips. Very disappointed this time. Sorry guys next time in Whitby we won’t be back.

Amazing! The food tasted lovely, the cashier was so nice, I came for some cheesy chips and they were lovely, would recommend

Ordered three haddock and chips at £9.95 each. Box was only half full, tiny fish. Would have had a full portion of chips if we had put all three together. Will never buy from there again.. AVOID!!

Visited Whitby for the Goth festival. Heard that Robertsons had great vegetarian options and as most of our group are veggie it seemed a good place to visit. When we arrived, we went to order the battered halloumi only to be told they didn't have any so tried to order the mozerella advertised outside on the menu. Told again slightly dismissively they didn't have any and that they only had things from the vegan menu. What's the point in advertising something if you don't even have it?! None of us fancied battered pineapple or mushy pea frittas so decided to leave because the staff were disinterested, rude and unhelpful.

Brilliant gluten free options, suitable for coeliac sufferers as they are all fried in separate fryers. Portions were a good size. A bit expensive at £9.30 for a fish and chip portion but I think that's a fairly standard price nowadays. And it all seemed great quality and the service was great too. Overall pretty delicious and always happy to find properly GF food!!

We just had to head for Whitby and fish and chips by the sea on New Year's Day. Everywhere, as expected, was very busy so decided on take away fish and chips. We were not disappointed. Chips Away is a great take away. Spotlessly clean, food made to order so lovely and fresh. Along with very friendly and helpful staff, we would highly recommend Chips Away. Excellent fish and chips.

Our second visit here and just the best fish and chips in Whitby. Best curry sauce! Will be back next time.

Where’s the rest? Massive box, small portion and very average chips for Whitby! We were looking for some great tasting chips and was left disappointed. Would not recommend sadly

It was great to find this fish and chip shop in Whitby so nobody had to miss out. Most places where we live only serve gluten free once a week so we were surprised and very happy to find Robertsons serve gluten free all day...

We are on holiday from London and Wow what a fanatic treat. The dietary choices are brilliant, I've not had that much choice ever. Even in London. If you're ever in the area it's a must visit

Nice food, not greasy and quite large portions. Had to wait quite a while and wasn't actually that hot when received. Cost £20 for x1 fish and chips, x1 chips and halloumi and x2 cans of coke.

Terrible. Ordered 3x fish and chips at £9 each. Very small fish (half at best) and very few chips which were distinctly undercooked. And excessively oily. Very poor - avoid.

Visited before when in Whitby so decided to go again ordered haddock and chips 3 times, received half a haddock and chips not worth the £10 paid and was obvious it was half a fish. I recommend going somewhere else.

Got a take away from here and are it on the cliffs.Came here because it was the only place that cooked in vegetable oil since we realized our go to fish shop cooked in beef dripping.Friendly staff and Great Chips

We have been to Whitby numerous times and use Robertsons almost all the time and always 10/10 great service great GF variety. We have been to others only when Chips Away was shut (Mondays) so we tried 3 different ones and I was so disappointed...

Ordered 2 cod and chips and cod bites and chips. All were lacking in the fish department especially the supposed cod bites which were 99% batter and we were left wondering if someone had forgotten to add the fish! The prices were extortionate as at...

So so disappointed, I have bought Fish and Chips here in the past, And was looking forward to having them again. And I have to say they were worse than ordinary. In fact they have been the worst I have had since I cannot remember...

Visited here as had heard good things but on our arrival the server was out the back chatting. As they had only been open 30 minutes we thought we’d come back in a while. On our return the server was present and took our order....

Went and asked for the chips with 'vegetable sausage.' We were charged 13.60 for two portions of very ordinary chips and two monstrously inedible sausages, made of broccoli with batter caked around them. Chips portion was 4.80 and quite evidently not proper chippy chips. Sausages...

Lots of choices to choose from but the pea fritter swung our decision. Beautiful fish and chips and definitely recommend the pea fritter

As a vegan f&c can be tricky so it was fab to find somewhere that didn’t fry in animal fat. Never had pea fritters before but it was fab. Chips were lovely, not greasy at all. Fab tea thanks, would deffo use again. Great that...

Thought this was going to be amazing due to their brilliant menu choice but we turned up more than an hour and a half before closing time and they just had chips left.

Regular takeaway chippy which offers good Veggie/Vegan selections as well as the usual fish, etc and uses vegetable oil to cook products. Nice chap serving. Cardboard box & wood fork nice touch (much better then polystyrene & plastic).

We're a family of 3, one of whom is vegan so it was great to find out about a chippy that not only cooks chips in vegetable oil but offers a variety of tasty vegan-friendly battered options too. For those that eat fish the offering...

As I don't eat meat, we have always struggled to find fish and chips in Whitby not cooked in beef dripping, that was till we were pointed to Robertson. Have to say we weren't disappointed, delicious perfectly cooked fish, chips were also perfectly cooked and...

A lot of people don’t realise that beef dripping is still the cooking fat of choice for most chippies in Whitby / Scarborough / much of Yorkshire … and it can be tricky finding one that uses vegetable oil … so look no further than...

Our visit to Whitby was highlighted by a visit to this establishment, after wading past many other fish and chip shops which insist on cooking in beef dripping. Due to my own health issues I was able to have Gluten Free fish and chips, which...

Having failed to book a table for dinner on a Tuesday night in Whitby, we decided to just see what turned up. I've never had chips in Whitby before because they all seem to be cooked in evil-smelling animal fat, so it was brilliant to...

Had a lovely day in Whitby and ended it having vegetarian chips and pea fritter. My husband had a fish and it was delicious. Friendly fast service would definitely recommend.

Delicious chips, mushy pea fritter and homemade garlic mayo from Chips Away, Whitby! Freshly cooked and definitely vegan as they really know their stuff! We were served by the lovely Josh on his second day, he managed really well with our vegan order and double...

** ABSOLUTELY “The” Very best chippy in Whitby that caters for Vegans with loads on its menu and we were totally spoilt for choice. My family searched all over for a vegan chippy and we needn’t have looked any further as Robertson’s Chips Away was...

The best fish and chips we had whilst in Whitby. Large portions and everything was so tasty. I would recommend this to all who visit Whitby.

Trip to Whitby today expecting disappointment at lunch time, until we passed this fish and chip shop advertising gluten free. Not only were their chips coeliac friendly but they had gluten free battered fish, scampi and sausage. Staff were also very friendly and knowledgeable about...

Very good service, friendly staff when we realised they had forgotten part of the order they were more than happy to ensure we got the rest of the order. We needed a gluten free order and it was done with ease. What let the star...

Simply the best gluten free food and service I have ever had in 16 years a coeliac, the lads are fantastic servers with a smile and are always happy when ordering and even when I change my order after ordering they still have a smile

Fantastic fish and chips, really tasty and not greasy. Partner is veggie and he had loads of options to choose from, would recommend the veggie battered sausage 👍

26 of us were at Sandsend Beach yesterday and rang Robertson’s with a huge order. We picked up within 20 mins and they had bagged up each family separately with their names on the bag which was so much easier for us to sort out....

It has been absolutely YEARS since I have had scampi, let alone onion rings. So to walk past this takeaway today to see a long list of gluten free options on their menu was literally a dream come true! I’ve just devoured the perfect sized...

I believe this is the only chippy in Whitby that doesn't cook chips in beef fat, added to which they also have a full vegan menu! We had battered sausage and chips. The sausage was vegetable/potato based and really tasty, the batter was crisp and...

Not the best Fish n Chips in Whitby. The fish was soggy dripping in oil and had the skin on, we are Scottish so it had to be Haddock, husband didn’t eat it neither did my dogs, I had scampi which was average. Won’t try...

So pleased we found this gem after looking for places in whitby that didn't cook chips in beef dripping. We had a veggie and two people with beef allergies so eating was near impossible to find somewhere for everyone. Would recommend to everyone, food came...

Nice to find a fish and chip shop that catered for myself and vegan daughter. Chips cooked in vegetable oil and a full range of vegan options specially cooked to order. All food piping hot and of good quality.

Service quick & efficient. Food great. Even vegan options. We had 3 people who needed veggie oil fry. Horrified to find only 1 place in Whitby in 21st century.

We really enjoyed our fish and chips. Always been good but this time was the best. Good to find a place that cooks in vegetable oil, everywhere else is beef dripping.

Vegan options in Whitby! Amazing. The mushy pea fritters were very good and it felt fantastic to have so much choice. I really enjoyed the vegan tartare sauce. We plan to go back very soon!

Although quite expensive (around £18 for fish n chips twice), difficult to fault the food, best eaten outdoors but watch for the thieving Gulls!!

really nice takeaway, portions are huge, fresh fish in lightest batter and gorgeous chips, mushy peas and homemade tartar sauce. well recommend

Grabbed a take-away for my lunch....close enough to the Abbey to walk back up to the motorhome and sit in the sun with everything still hot! I had cod and chips with a portion of scampi (when in Rome/Whitby!). Fish was tasty with an excellent...

Got a takeaway from here on Wednesday and enjoyed the food. A wide range of vegetarian options for a chip shop (very rare in Whitby) and you can phone in advance to place the order.

It’s got a good choice for vegans, although sadly no banana blossom. Lovely chips and pineapple fritters. They also have veggie sausage which I didn’t try. My husband had the standard fish and chips which he also said was excellent. Will be back next time...

Thank god a place that does vegan options in Whitby. The lad serving was lovely and the food was fantastic

Whilst in whitby on our usual anual holiday we visited your takeaway. Had gluten free fish and chips very disappointed not the usual standard. Felt it was a cheaper version of haddock (possibly coley) as it was off white colour not there usual. Sorry to say will not be going again. We have eaten there since opening over 20 years ago always had good quality fish sorry to see your restaurant closed. Improve your standards and might think of revisiting

We've been looking for a local chippy which offers vegetarian and gluten free options and we were not disappointed! Really good food, great menu. Highly recommend and we will return!

Most fish and chip places in Whitby pride themselves on cooking in beef fat. We eat fish but we don't eat meat so that's off-putting. Even if we did eat meat, we couldn't fancy fish cooked in this way. Robertsons cook in vegetable oil, and the fish and chips we had were fresh and excellent. Good quality food, perfectly cooked. It's takeaway only which is a shame as I think they had a sit-down restaurant in the past. If you're looking for great tasting fish and chips in Whitby you'll have plenty of choices, but we can thoroughly recommend this one.

If you let them know they do their pea fritters in vegan batter (which I was told was also gluten free). I asked for onion rings as well and had I noticed that they do pineapple fritters prior to order I would have those too! The chips are great, the husband eats fish and he said the cod was better than the chip shop that we tried on Monday evening (Robertson's was shut) that had a huge queue and iff'd and ahh'd whether they could do me a portion of chips in vegetable oil after I had rung up and was told they could. Can't fault Robertson's even the mushy peas were perfect!!

Great value, great tasting chips, cod was beautiful and generous for 7.50. Very cheap cp. Pared to other r places charging double. Keep up the good work gents. Will definatley buy from you again when visiting whitby

First chip shop I’ve ever been to with a dedicated vegan menu. The pea fritters are to die for!! Cooked in vegetable oil using a separate fryer to the fish/meat dishes which is applaudable :) everything tasted fresh. My only gripe is that the hand sanitising dispenser on entry was empty...frustrating when my hands were essentially clean before opting to press the dispense button, along with the other 100 people that had probably pressed it before me. I did notify the guy behind the counter but he didn’t seem too bothered.Other than that, I’d go back in a heartbeat.

This is the only chippy in Whitby that frys in vegetable oil. Great veggie options too ! Chips are lovely but the guy who served us was clearly having a hard time and was very irritable. Unferstandable as it is a busy time of year, I hope he gets a well earned day off soon.

Service was quick but server was rude and practically threw the car machine across the counter. Clearly hard a hot hard day but so do I every day at work and I don’t treat customers like that. Avoid.

Small portion of curry sauce - Average fish and chips - Staff not that fussed - Papas we tried this week and really good - Forget Robertsons - Papas is the place to go

Tried this place because of some reviews, I had fish and chips the Wife had a fish. Let's say never again soggy chips an small fish batter for gluten free ok. But will be going back to Quayside or Magpies next time where in Whitby.

Has a visit to Whitby for the first time in months with our daughter and new pup. Went to Robertsons like we always do. Very happy, friendly staff and lovely fish and chips. Thanks.

We hadn’t had fish & chips here for many years! We were not impressed! They were the worst ever! Now I am coeliac & was looking forward to fish & chips which of course had to be takeaway! They were excellent as was my husband’s ordinary Fish & Chips! We will definitely be back! I was impressed enough to ring & thank them!

If you don't mind being completely ignored then snapped at for being in the shop when nothing and no one indicated otherwise then go for it. I even asked another customer who was waiting what she did so I could follow the safety measures as the staff didn't bother. I was only in the shop so I could pay the guy then was going to wait outside. I work in retail myself, I was ready for and happy to follow any corona guidelines but you have to communicate these measures to your customers! I noticed when passing later that a sign had been put up at the door which instructed people to wait at the door to be served. That would have been useful earlier, i don't know why that had been moved. Cracking a smile wouldn't hurt either.

The fish and chips were nice but a bit expensive but worth it, the staff weren’t very wellcome and cold in conversation. I asked for two standard fish and chips and a small fish and chips they told me we only do standard or large and there were some standard so I was having a look at them at the counter to see how big they were so I could make my decision I surprisingly got told off not to stand there which I understand that this virus it’s spreading fast and it’s to contagious but as costumer it was very offensive and negative answer as a paying costumer I mean the service wasn’t to standard. At the end I decided to have a standard fish and chips for son and 2 large fish and chips which they came up to over £29.00 which I can’t complain because the fish and chips were nice but the staff weren’t. Wouldn’t go back as there tens of fish and chips around Whitby

Called in to the chips away takeaway shop and bought some chips,hot and delicious and decent portions served by decent young man,big menu and clean shop and prices good.would call again as got recommended by family who live here.

Looked forward to it for a month but the sit down restaurant was closed. The other popular fish and chip places cook with beef fat - yuck - so we chose an Italian pizza place instead.

This venue had been recommended to me due to that they cook in vegetable oil, and others had enjoyed the food. I think that if you are going to try the fish etc, then it seems very nice. However, they had few vegan options that day, and I felt an inconvenience. I ordered two battered veggie sausages, however there was a 15 minute wait to be cooked seperately from the fish. They also came overdone, slightly burnt and not battered however my friends had nearly finished theirs so I was reluctant to complain. I may be going back, however if so I will need to be more direct in asking for what they can do for me, and hopefully the food standards will have improved.

Good value ,tasty, and cooked in veg oil for veggies . Also restaurant does vegetarian . Deep fried mars bars etc just yummy!

Basic but brilliant. Chips in a bucket with the classic trio of mushy peas, beans and curry sauce. They do offer a sausage option for veggies also. Ticks the box you miss as a vegan of getting seaside chips cooked separately and in veg oil. I even got soya milk with my brew and vegan spread on my bread.

Great fish & chips to takeaway. Cooked fresh while you wait and packed up in a box. Friendly and quick service too. Conveniently located right by the bridge. Good menu, including good choice of chocolate options to deep-fry - but we stuck to more conventional scampi and Haddock!

Had a nice meal here and they also allowed our little dog in, which was lovely. It is nicely decorated inside and has lots of choice on the menu. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Visited for lunch with my mum who is vegan, not a problem! chips are cooked in none animal fat so she had chips and peas, I had haddock which I have to say was brilliant! Fresh fish cooked to perfection Cheers.

Super high quality food once again. Happy staff who couldn’t do enough to help us. Well presented food too.

Consistently good chips and lovely fish and mushy peas. I can never not come here each time in Whitby , it’s worth the wait if it’s busy , the customer service is great too and the ladies are always smiling , I’ve forgotten there names now sorry ! But I will remember for next time . I and partner will be back !

Great place for a vegan to get a good chips meal along with non-vegan family. Cheerful friendly service

Been here a few times and never been disappointed. Always get prompt service and pleasant waiters. The food was amazing, and good sized portions too. Comfy seating and very friendly too. Will continue to eat here in the future.

Theeee best fish and chips by far. Crispy and light batter with proper chips.. Absolutely delicious.. A gem of place hands down.

A trip to Whitby would not be complete for me without the treat of some chips. As far as I am aware Robertson's is the only chip shop in Whitby that fries in vegetable oil rather than beef dripping.

Opted for the two fish cakes with bucket of chips costing over ten pounds

Trying to find a place for chip shop is normally hard not at Whitby as this place hit the spot thank u

We have visited the restaurant since it opened many years ago and have always had a food review for us but this last couple of years standard's have slipped eg portion control we ordered medium Cod meal deal it was just like a small meal deal yet the week before it was a good portion obviously a different chef portion control needs addressing you get better value from out sales if this happens again I will be going else where as this not the first time.

Called in for Dinner the place was clean & tidy likewise the staff who were pleasant and clean appearance.

Three of us visited and really enjoyed it! Fish and chips 'meal deal' is very good - fish, chips and peas and a hot drink all for a reasonable price. I am a vegetarian so really enjoyed being able to have proper chips that aren't cooked in vegetable oil. There were plenty options for veggies but I opted for the bean burger - it was delicious and the coleslaw is divine! All finished off with a pudding - syrup pudding, chocolate fudge cake and a deep-fried mars bar! Lovely finish to a good day out.

We were searching about for some lunch and felt a bit overwhelmed by the amount of fish and chips shops and getting the right one.

We went for the meal deal which was excellent value and included a drink. We particularly liked the opportunity to have gluten free batter. Within walking distance of the harbour and not far from the Abbey.

Food was excellent, fish lovely and moist. Staff very friendly, cosy little place, would definitely go again

Amazing to find a fantastic chippy that provides brilliant chips (and other veggie options) that are not cooked in beef fat or in the same oil as meat products. Well worth a visit or two when in Whitby.

Visited Whitby for the day. My friend in an electric wheelchair wasn't allowed in unless she left the electric wheelchair outside on a narrow pavement in the rain. There was ample room for it. Attendant said ordinary wheelchairs, pushchair and prams were ok though. The attendant wasn't helpful so we left

Lovely food, battered haggis &chips; yum yum! Visit quite late in the day so very quiet in the restaurant

We called in on a rainy day for lunch, one couple waiting for table before us. Within 5 mins we were offered choice of two table, we opted for table by the window. We did have a bit of a wait for service as waitress failed to be aware of us, but appologies were offered and accepted. On arrival my Tuna steak with new spuds and salad was excellent, the Tuna steak cooked perfectly for me. The wife had the scampi meal which she said was " great, as good as anywhere". On payement our soft drinks were deducted from the bill as a further appology for our additional wait (approx 10 mins). Lovely staff.we will be back.
