Royal Fisheries in Scarborough

Alex was very friendly and helpful. One of our party had a mobility scooter and he went above and beyond to ensure this was catered for and we were comfortable. The food was great and very hot would come again thank you

A low-key, quiet place with a decent selection of broiled as well as fried fish. Broiled salmon and sea bass were both terrific.

Lovely friendly staff. A bit short handed, but even so they were polite, informative & very hard working. Delicious fish & chips. Excellent meal deal price. A new find for us. We will be back. Whilst there, we witnessed some very rude customers. The staff did not deserve the attitude they got from them. Luckily, they left. The staff still remained polite & professional. A credit to their employers.

We visited Whitby for the day whilst staying in Scarborough and decided to call here for lunch. The cafe is nicely decorated and clean, including the toilets. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The food was very nice and well presented. Would call again and recommended!

Beautiful fish and chips, spot on both times we ate there. Friendly staff and very reasonably priced. What more do you need.

Had a short wait as they were busy, but the food was more than worth it! Plenty of gluten free options too 👍🏻

Always great fish & chips & scampi.

Diabolical service. Three of us elderly gentlemen came for a reunion on a recommendation. Waited to be served and totally ignored by a girl at the counter and an older woman walking round. Very few people dining in and eventually the older woman came up to us making no eye contact and was the most surly rude individual. I asked that we be seated away from the awful noise that was being made by someone working on a gate outside and she pointed to a table we could use and some others saying you can’t sit there. The three of us were taken back by the absolute ignorance of this woman and we decided to leave and go to Trenchers, a place with friendly staff, ambience and similar prices as we found out. Needless to say, we will never be going there again and will never recommend the place except as a place to avoid. So disappointing!

Very tasty meal. Good value, friendly efficient staff reasonably priced.

Tried for the first time last night,large haddock and chips,perfect best I’ve had in Whitby,will definitely be calling there again

Lovely scampi and chips. Loved their automatic ordering system. Really easy to use.

Great service and food was fast to the table and it was good for a quiet dinner i had pie and chips the steak pie was from a local butchers which is fantastic

The staff were not pleasant! The food was terrible! So greasy! Def better fish and chips on Whitby! I don’t u destined their high Google rating! Must have family and friends rating for them!

I would highly recommend eating fish and chips here. We didn't need to que to be seated. The food was superb at a very reasonable price and the decor was comfortable. Disabled access was good if needed with access to a disabled toilet too. Staff were friendly and helpful.

I was really disappointed with fish and chips after being recommended by most locals. It was so oily, and soggy. I ate mostly a batter without fish. There wasn’t much fish although I ordered the big portion. The chips were oily too. Sorry but it wasn’t up to expectations.

Great fish and chips - recommended by a local.

Amazing food, the chips were amazing! Had a child sausage and chips and was plenty big enough.

Went for lunch. Fast service and food was hot and fresh. Definetly going back again Paid £8.60 for small cod and chips which was definety a good portion.

Was advised to visit here by the locals instead of the famous Magpie fish and chip restaurant cause its better and cheaper. Lovely food. Chips were best I've ever had.

Lovely fish and chips. Young lady who served us was excellent.

Randomly chose this place… When I saw “crinkle cut” chips I was initially disappointed, but I have to say they were the best chips I’ve had in a long while! My opinion on ‘crinkle cut’ has now been changed! 😂 This peas were tasty, and fish was perfectly crisp and flavourful. Thanks. Defo coming back 👍🏻

Well cooked fish and chips. Crispy batter on tasty cod. Nice soft centred chips.

Best Scampi I've ever eaten, and their gravy was really meaty which was fantastic. Definitely worth a visit.

Best for fish and chips in Whitby I use to come here when I lived in Whitby and it was called fuscos I think most locals tend to use here.

I'd been guided to this very well present takeaway. Good reveiws all around. What can I say 🤦‍♂️ Guys if you dont enjoy your job or the atmosphere is stressful STOP DOING IT!!! We asked the counter staff if they could rap the food in paper because we had quite a walk b4 getting home, where we planned on eating our dinner. The plastic boxes ( which the food was thrown 😱 in ) are a waste OF MONEY LESS ECO FRIENDLY AND A LITTER ISSUES. The food goes cold and stodgy come on its not a lot to ask for. Cheer up respect your customers or to be quite honest DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT 🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️👍

Great fresh food cooked to order,variety of dinners not just fish and chips ,service is very good ,value for money

Great staff, great food can not recommend enough 👍

Really great experience, great staff and food was amazing.

Well cooked Haddock and chips a bit expensive to sit in(£17:50)for small Haddock

Forget all the "famous" fish and chip restaurants in Whitty as this one is definitely the best. It's only a small restaurant but the quality is super and the Scampi was real and not extruded as in other restaurants and even lists the boat that the catch comes from. Portions are generous and the sparkling wine was at a good price compared to other restaurants, cheaper by as much as £8 per bottle. The fish was equally excellent. Best to book in advance. We had to go back for a second time before I left.

Real quality. I've been to whitby for many years and I really think they offer best fish & chips. Always freshly cooked really tasty & staff are very good.

Absolutely perfect fish and chips in the restaurant and no queues like the other two better known ones, will definitely be back.

Great place. Friendly staff. Good food!

I enjoyed every dish: steak pie, cod, and sticky toffee!!

Another fantastic meal here, even though it had been busier due to the nice weather the service didn’t falter! Always our choice of fish and chips in Whitby! 🍟🐟

Absolutely delicious. We arrived very hungry and went for the 'Yorskhire Deal' which was a portion of fish and chips, bread and butter, mushy peas and a pot of tea. It was all cooked beautifully and served promptly. I would highly recommend this place!

Very nice pleace and friendly People

Rather expensive, rather greasy, more likely to go somewhere else.

Excellent fish and chips. Well presented, hot and tasty.

Had small cod x chips fish was white and chunky batter was nice and light crinkle cut chips were not what i expect from a fish shop in saying that they were not to bad also enjoyed a pinapple ring with sweet chillie sauce only negitive for me was price thought it was on the expensive side for portion size at £13.45

We have tried many of the different Fish and Chip options in Whitby and having had lunch here today we think this is definitely one of the best in town. The fish was beautifully cooked in a light batter with tasty peas and delicious chips. Service was great .... well done Royal Fisheries !

Our favourite chippy! Lovely light, crispy batter and nice chunky crinkle cut chips.

We had cod and chips with mushy peas freshly fried with a light batter and it was I think one of the best fish and we have had so we will definitely go again and I am sure we will go to whitby again soon, Thanks Charles and sharon

Went on a day trip to Whitby decided to try Royal fisheries glad we did food, service, presentation 110% definitely would recommend 🍽

Had take away last night fish and chips were excellent and good size portions. Not cheap but nothing is in whitby. These were good

The food in this chippy is really nice and the fish is cooked fresh for you and the staff a really nice. I would recommend this chippy if anyone visits Whitby in Yorkshire

I had steak pie and chips ! Omg delicious ! Highly recommend

Food good, waiting time excessive and it was not really busy.

Used the takeaway. Excellent fish and chips

Hands down, the best takeaway Fish and Chips in Whitby. Had a great craic with staff whilst being served.

Haddock and chips was very tasty. Crispy, light batter. We don't like skin on fish so waiter told us it could be removed. It was and we thoroughly enjoyed it, with a bottle of reasonably priced wine! We would definitely go back.

Very nice fish and chips friendly

Always good food when i come here. The staff are nice and friendly and recognise me also 😆. Best fish and chips in whitby for me. 5✨️

The fish was nice, but the chips were nothing special, and it's massively overpriced, very disappointing

Our usual fish shop whenever we go to Whitby. We weren't disappointed.

Lovely fish and chips, just a little bit pricey

Soggy batter on the fish, wondering how you can get fish wrong and it would be this! Just leave it in for a couple of minutes more and don't worry about the queues, I'd rather wait longer for better food. Also the chips were bitty and full of dirt where they hadn't been peeled properly. Not a smile from anyone serving, very poor.

You won't find a better place for Cod and Chips. For £10.50, it is heaven on a plate. Portions are good and staff are really friendly. A friend of mine who sadly passed away highly recommended this place and his advice didn't dissapoint. RIP Peter x Bit hard to find, second side road to the left of you from the bus stop. But you wont be dissapointed. X

We had (small) Cod & Chips + Coleslaw + Scampi Side Absolutely perfectly made and great tasting - original feel and extremely pleasant service!

I have just received a scam call from this number. Someone claiming to be from 3 mobile. I have googled the number and these numbers match. You either have had your phone number stolen or a member of staff carrying out fraudulent activities. I tried to call as an alert but there was no answer so I am leaving this review as a warning to the restaurant. Not to patrons.

I always eat here, when in Whitby, I had something from the lite bit menu, battered scampi, chips, a salad, & delicious tartare sauce, large pot of strong tea, tasty food, all for £10!

Best fish shop in Whitby in my opinion. Chips to die for and fish top quality. Brilliant service.

Made us welcome, service excellent, food was 1st class. Thank you.

I had the small cod, chips, mushy peas, bread and tea, it was perfect, just what you’d hope to get, lovely white flakey fish in golden batter and crinkle chips cooked to perfection, needless to say, very highly recommend 👍👍👍

Situated on Baxtergate this is one of the less attractive Fish n Chip shops in Whitby as it's not on the main drag where the Magpie cafe is situated. Do yourself a favour and pay this place a visit, the service is welcoming and excellent throughout, the Fish and Chips are great, I had the Cod and it was delicious, also the Curry sauce is about the best in the area. We sat in and dined but there is a takeaway option if you wish. We took advantage of the Special offer and got a slice of bread n butter and a cup of Yorkshire tea included in the price. Great value will visit again.

Brusk woman, no small portion of chips and fish was bitty and not nice. Felt a bit sick after eating half of it and partner ate next to nothing of his fish. Wouldn't go there again.

Called to inquire about if fried are in vegetarian oil, rude lady said don't want to talk to you , bye and hung up. Will not visit this establishment.

Been going to this chippy for over 35years, never had a bad meal yet. Although I do still miss the rotisserie chicken they used to do.

I had plaice and chips and it was the best fish and chips I've ever eaten and the Irish curry sauce is 👌 will definitely be back for more. Its worth the 2hr drive from where I live to come and eat

My wife and I have been to The Royal on several occasions, and we've always enjoyed it. Our most recent visit wasn't planned, but I'm certainly pleased we wandered up Baxtergate on 10th April. The issue for The Royal is its location. Being tucked away up a side street that probably only locals use means it doesn't benefit from the huge influx of tourists that invade Whitby, unlike the F&C shops on the main route, that are noted for queues outside, something I've never witnessed outside The Royal. Tourists standing outside the venue adjacent to the main roundabout should do themselves a favour and walk a couple of hundred yards down Baxtergate and enjoy F&C's of the same quality for a lower price. No, sod that, ignore everything I've written, don't anyone dare go to The Royal, leave it Whitby's best kept secret for us in the know.

Bus station side of town. Think it's baxtergate. Top side away from harbour. Brilliant service. Very clean shop. Plenty of seats (and tables of course). Busy during school holidays at lunch time but heh isn't everything. Ist time visit will be visiting again. Food. Plenty of food, well cooked and scrumpous batter.

The service was friendly and attentive but not necessarily that quick. Unfortunately the quality of the food (between us we had scampi, chips, fishcake and mushy peas) was not great and I think there are better alternatives very close by.

Excellent fish and chips great service and value

Recommended so we had small haddock and cod n chips whilst we were in Whitby for the day, was certainly worth it, on a rather soggy day trip 👍

Always loved this chippy since I was a young child. The only place that uses crinkle cut chips. Brilliant fish, cooked perfectly and the service is always second to none.

We stopped to grab a quick lunch whilst in Whitby and stumbled on the best fish & chips we’ve had. Delicious fish, chips & scampi, really friendly & helpful staff. The curry sauce was great too!

We used their app to order, so easy to use you get given a time spot , pick up easy, staff there to help with advice on process...food excellent, reasonabley price, definitely the best fish and chips in Whitby. Highly recommend.💜✨

Friendly service from the guy who's been working there 20+ years, good fish and chips fried in beef dripping as it should be.

Our annual visit to whitby, always go to this place for excellent fish and chips

One of the best fisheries in Whitby! Literally a hidden gem. As seen is a delicacy you have to try! The battered pineapple (fritter) with sweet chilli sauce. Also seen is a small and regular fish & chips.

We had fish chips, peas, and a pot of tea , was really nice, couldn't fault it

You won’t get fresher or tastier fish & chips in Whitby & I’ve been coming here for years- it’s always consistent. These people go to great lengths to get the freshest fish available, which isn’t easy nowadays.

Spot on Everything was 👍the food service couldn't do enough only down side couldn't only afford it once in a blue moon.

Although I've had many a tray of fish, chips and curry sauce from the takeaway of a Thursday Biker's night in Whitby, this was my first time dining in at the Royal Fisheries. I found the Small Cod Yorkshire Meal deal was perfect for my appetite on a mid winter's lunch time. The food was beautifully cooked and prepared and hats off to the 'front of house staff' who were particularly professional, attentive and friendly, a credit to the restaurant.

What a great place! The best fish and chips we've had in years. Friendly team serving, great service and even wheelchair friendly. And about 1 minutes away from the train station:-)

Best cod and chips i think ive ever had. Certainly recommend to anyone.

Best fish and chips in Whitby it also has a good choice of menu generous portions

Forget The Magpie and Trenchers - this is the place for honest fish and chips in Whitby. Enjoy the old fashioned way with buttered bread and a pot of Yorkshire tea. There are signs that it too is sidling over to the dark side like its more famous competitors by introducing aperitifs and wine with your fish lunch My advice is take advantage of the quality of the food before Negronis appear on the menu!

Excellent food and service. Will definitely visit again

Disappointing meal from what used to be a great fish and chip shop, fish batter was soggy and the chips where cut too thin. Filled a spot at the time but they could do better considering the competition in the town.

Excellent food, excellent service, the large Haddock and chips with mushy peas would easily serve two. The prices were also very reasonable. Very quick service during there busy Whitby Goth Weekend. Will be using again next time we are in town. Shame it's not our local.

The best fish n chips in Whitby. A pity they don't take bookings...

Had lovely fish and chips again never disappointed x

Delicious scampi. Lovely clean restaurant. Friendly staff and reasonable price.

Great high-quality fish and chips, the staff were warm and welcoming and the restaurant beautifully clean.

Lovely spacious restaurant. Friendly staff. Food delicious 😋 disabled toilet. Will definitely recommend it.

Excellent quality fish and chips! Service was great and we caught them at a quiet time which meant quick food. Good drinks selection which complements the notably high quality food. I highly recommend the grilled seabass, treat yourself and get chips with the salad you won't be disappointed!

Good value for money and very good tasting curly chips, curry sauce and battered sausage. Good portion sizes.

With 22 fish and chip shops (apparently) in Whitby, including 5 claiming to be "officially the best,"it was a difficult choice. I was not disappointed as the small haddock was ample for me. It is very tasty and friendly staff 😋 .

Been coming here over 20 years and always been fantastic.
