Southgate Fisheries in Harrogate

What a mistake I made when I decided to eat from here. The grey, dry fish was covered in the greasiest batter I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. Not much could even be said of the cardboard chips. After a few brave attempts, I decided not to finish the self-inflicted torture. Also, I was very loose later that evening. Not a good experience. Giving a bad name to fish and chips. Disgusting.

Delicious fish and chips. Really friendly service. Definitely the place to go to for a takeaway.

We tour the country with dog shows. This is the best tasting and best value fish and chips on our tour. Freshly cooked to order. We look forward to it every year.

We recently visited southgate Fish & Chips in Ripon and I must say that it was exceptional . The fish was cooked to perfection and the chips were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great fish and chips . We have recently visited the coast numerous times and havent found a chippy as good as this.”

Really good fish and chip shop! Highly recommend!

We had cod chips and peas from here and everything was fresh cooked and tasty Lady serving was busy but pleasent

Lovely fish and chips nice staff as well.

Called here after being disappointed with other fish shops in Ripon, batter sticking to paper scrappy chips etc,ordered a regular & small cod & chips with peas for £13.50 and the sizes are generous plus they come in cardboard boxes rather than paper so no batter sticking to the paper! The fish was excellent nice golden batter perfectly cooked fish chips were excellent too no scrappy ones.Will definitely be back and can 100% recommend.

Great fish n chips great service freindly staff

Very disappointed fish edible chips not won't be going back

Another good reason why I moved to Ripon this fantastic fish shop. Visited for the first time this evening. My fish & chips were piping hot when I got home. I got a small portion so glad I didn't go for the medium as I struggled to finish them but I did 😉 Staff very pleasant. Definitely on my list for a repeat visit.🙂

Very nice fish and chips. Staff are very friendly.

Absolutely excellent , superb in every respect Would definitely recommend

Was recommended to try here & was glad I did ,great fish & chips, good helpings , nice staff & shop. The only thing is I think they need seating inside while waiting.

Excellent Fish & Chips, superb.

Just a short drive outside of town center but easy access with road side parking and outside sitting area. The front service area is very neat and clean!! The cod is well cooked, the batter is light and crispy. The scampi kids meal is good value and tasty. The staff is friendly and efficient.

Not a good place fish was dry as if it had been frozen fish couldn’t eat my dinner

Chips are the best in Ripon, and they also make great Scampi! Really fast service and safe environment given the current situation.

Super fish and chips. Realty fresh fish and tasty

Awesome fish & chips. I come here every time l visit my sister.

Great service everthing is cooked to order so it's really good quality food friendly staff didn't have to wait long even though there was a que theirs good offers like a big red is £16.99 and you get 2 large fish and chips and 1 large fish and you will be able to choose from either a large tub of curry or peas or gravy to go with the fish and chip your even able to phone up and order the food so you can just pick it up straight away and its always ready on time and it's hot and has just been cooked fresh for you which makes it even better if you are in a rush or have someone picking up the food for you Definitely recommend this fish and chip shop

Not very nice fish and chips at all. Expensive as well at £7 50p. Couldn't finish even though I was hungry. I don't think the fish was cod or haddock.

Really good local chippy we tired on the recommendation of the neighbors to a holiday cottage we were renting, a little out the way but we'll worth going to... Just be aware it closes fairly early

Fish had soggy batter took that off , fish was not bad throw chips away . Reviews were good may have hit a bad day but won't go back .

Excellent Fish and Chips. Easy ordering waifi g outside.

I have only visited once, but their team are very polite and welcoming. They are very busy without it affecting their personal service. The food was well priced and tasty too. I would recommend to anyone reading this review.

Love love LOVE this place. Highly recommended x

The best fish and chip shop in ripon!

Nice f&c, pleasant staff, recommended

Very efficient service and friendly manner. Best fish and chips for miles. Very reasonable prices

Never disappoints. Everyone argues about where to get the best fish and chips in town. It's here, isn't it? - you know it is really. Fish and chips is not my top choice, but this is good and it takes the edge off being overruled.

Good local chip shop large gazebo Infront of shop so you are protected from rain

Excellent service great food 👌 👍 😀 👏

Delicious battered sausages. Don't usually get burgers from chippies either but I did this time and I'm genuinely glad I did. It was properly good. Boss is a great laugh too

Very friendly staff very clean best fish and chips I've ever had would definitely call again if in area

Brilliant staff. Excellent quality fish and chips..👍👍👍👍👍😋😛😋😛😋😛😋😛

Traditional Yorkshire fish and chips. A taste of Whitby in Ripon.

Excellent quality food, efficient and friendly service. We are now becoming regulars here, well recommended.

Very nice fish and chips however could taste the fat/oil they were cooked in. Reasonable portion and cooked to order.

Called here after passing a couple of times and noticed the “award winning fish and chips” banners outside. The takeaway was spotlessly clean and the staff were friendly and eager to greet us on entry. We asked for a large and a standard cod and were told they didn’t have any, they had only been open 15mins so they hadn’t ran out, just mustn’t have had any full stop. We had to opt for haddock, again I opted for the large (advertised as the house special) The wife chose fish cake as she doesn’t like haddock. The chips were very nice but the “large” haddock was the thinnest/flattest fish that I’ve ever had anywhere and for £8:35 to take away I was expecting so much more. I’d hate to see the small one, you’d need a magnifying glass!

Visiting Ripon and decided to treat ourselves to a fish supper. Trusted the reviews and had a nice meal at the side of the river laver with our fish and chips. All four of us enjoyed them.

Lovely fish and chips highly recommended

Wowzer had amazing hot fresh good sized portion of fish and chips, ticked all the boxes. Im supposed to write 100 words on trip advisor but cant think what else to say other than they are "Simply the Best in Ripon"

We haven’t had a takeaway at all for all of lockdown and we really fancied fish and chips before I return to work next Saturday. We read online reviews of this lovely establishment and travelled specially over from Harrogate . Well worth the trip , spotless premises, beautiful outdoor seating area , it’s like being in a pretty garden although it was pouring down so we sat in the car. The staff were extremely friendly and observing social distancing and health and safety procedures and the fish and chips were amazing. We’ll definitely be back. My Brother lives in Scotland and always loves his Yorkshire fish and chips when he’s home, I’ll be pointing him towards Southgate Fisheries from now on , he’ll be delighted , and so were we !

Best fish shop in Ripon by far always polite staff with quality food always cooked perfect and the battered Mars bars are the best we stated getting them when I was a kid years ago and there still going strong and the owner Paul is a top bloke to talk to

Telephoned order through to collect was ready on time served by the friendly staff the Fish Chips and Mushy Peas were Fabulous, Will definitely be calling again. Many Thanks

I wouldn't miss my Friday fish and chips from Southgate for anything. Excellent and consistent quality - always freshly cooked. Just give your order when you arrive and it will be ready piping hot when you reach the head of the queue. Absolutely the best value is the "Fun-sized" (small fish and chips twice for under £7) In better weather yo can sit outside at comfortable tables.

The best chippy in Ripon without a doubt

Has to be the best fish n chips in ripon

Probably the best F&C in Ripon in my humble opinion. Having said that I've not sampled all the offerings available.

Lovely fresh food cooked while u wait, outside seating, beautiful on a sunny day surrounded by potted plants, well looked after and very clean, staff very helpful, I had a fantastic fish supper.

Fantastic fish and chips! Excellent service!

Chippy tea Wednesday is what it’s all about Seven of us out tonight. Found this place on trip and highly recommend well they weren’t wrong at all. Fish and chips were excellent so good. Benches outside which were nice plenty of parking 😄👍

We were delighted with the food and service from Southgate Fisheries last night at our Fish n Chip n Quiz evening. We had a large group of 70 and everything went like clockwork. The food was piping hot with all orders ready at the same time and we received so many compliments about the food. The owner gave us a really generous deal. Well done Southgate Fisheries and Thank You. We'll be back!

Great location with friendly staff. A good selection of fish freshly cooked and lovely chips. Picnic benches available for outside seating. Would definitely return!

Delicious fish & chips we called at teatime with my husband & 3 grandchildren after a afternoon at near by Newby hall we sat outside on the picnic tables lovely tasting fish all enjoyed & they do small portions for the grandchildren who eat the lot.x

Always good. They do smaller a size which is great. I am a small person and have always had to throw the excess away. No waste now.

Lovely fish and chips. All freshly cooked.

Spotless, very friendly service and best fish and chips in Ripon!

Best piece of cod ive had in a very long time and the chips are really crisp

Lovely fish and chips, reasonably priced.

Excellent service and the best fish and chips in the district at a reasonable price

Fantastic fish and chips cooked to order.

Great fish and chips very popular, busy, reasonably quick service considering they are so busy good value for money.

Not good at keeping to closing times called tonight at 8 :05to find shop closed disappointed

Freshly cooked to order, really nice fish, perhaps a little bit pricey!

Best fish and chips I've had for a long time

Fantastic fish and chip shop whether you stop by or phone your order in. Proper tasty food.

Simply the best chippy in town.

Wonderful! Hot and tasty, always fresh.

Recently Visited while in Ripon Trying to find a good chippie Passed 2 others and chose this using the internet reviews Not disappointed The shop is lovely and modern looking with a great out side area very appealing Great fish and chip Quality products and cooked in beef dripping Perfect Dogs enjoyed it to

Never had a tastier fish and chips than from here. Chips are at least double cooked and the fish is always freshly cooked. You may wait a while but its worth it.

We were staying in the area and was having a drive about to find somewhere for some tea, we saw the sign at the end of the road saying Award winning fish and chips! So we arrived at 6.30 and wanted cod but they were completely sold out of cod, so had sausage in batter and chips instead. We sat on the benches outside and thoroughly enjoyed our chippy tea .. Hubbie loves chippy chips and can often be disappointed too soggy, too greasy, taste funny 🙄 but he actually said he thought they were the best his Ever had 🙀👍 Would definitely recommend. Thank you

I usually go to Drakes fish shop in Ripon ( which is excellent), but noticed a sign saying 'award winning fish and chips', while driving through a different part of Ripon so thought we would try it. The chips were really disappointing and didn't taste very nice at all and both my mum and l ended up throwing them away. Needless to say l will be staying with 'Drakes'.

Nice Fish and chips and not overpriced 🖒

Good fish n chips. Bigger portions would be better, that's probably because I'm secretly a fat person...😀

Great service...great value for money

I am often in Ripon and a visit to Southgate Fisheries is always a highlight. All fish freshly cooked to order, banter with staff and great prices. My mouth is watering writing this!

The best fish and chip shop in Ripon! Close your eyes and you could be in Whitby. Their deals such as "Little Ted", "Mr & Mrs" and our favorite "Fun Size" which is two smaller fish and chips for £6.75 (at time of writing) are excellent value. The smaller fish and chips is plenty for most folks.

Best fish and chip shop around here!

Brilliant special fish chips and mushy peas.

Personally I believe this is the best chippy in Ripon

Southgate good food freindly service my kinda place😄😃

Decent fish and chips but they close too early. I finish my shift at 8pm and rush over (5 minutes) to get chips before they close at 8.15. But, they’re often already closed when I get there 😔 The one time they actually were still open, the chips were cold and must have been sitting a good while.

Good food. Staff not particularly friendly however

Award winning but greasy when I was last there

Great fish and chips here always.

The best in Yorkshire. Wife always calls after shopping in ripon. You get good value for your money. You will have to go a long way to find better. If I lived next door I would eat them every day.

If you want great Fish and Chips go here. Fast, efficient service and great portion sizes. Staff are friendly and prices are very good. There is always a queue but you don't have to wait long!

Probably the best fish and chip shop in Ripon!

The best fish and chips in Ripon

Best chippy in Yorkshire, we are so lucky to have the best fish n chip shop not just in Yorkshire but the whole UK inc Scotland Ireland and Wales cheap as well good fast reliable service and you can place forward orders and they never forget who you are FANTASTIC! !

I visited this take away Fish and Chip shop on a lunchtime on the 7/9/17. All the food is cooked fresh so expect a 5 minute wait or so. Even if there is a Queue it is well worth the wait. Superb fish and the...

chips are very nice on there own when walking along the canal, the fish was cooked lovely it was white flakes and very tasty, will defiantly be going again next time we are in Ripon.

Always good service and good food

Great fish n chips can't fault them

Excellent fish and chip shop, good choice of food and portion sizes - even two types of curry source. Brilliant.

We go regularly to SF. We come from Kirkby Fleetham but after my mother in law introduced us to the SF house special we always get ours from here. They double/triple wrap ours to keep them hot and yummy. The fish is chunky and tasty,...

A popular place and therefore long queues. It's worth the wait, because Fish & Chips is great, you can eat a small portion

We live about 7-8 miles away and there are plenty of F&C shops nearby but we always make the trip to get ours from Southgate. The staff are very friendly and organised meaning you aren't waiting long for your order. The fish is beautiful, not...
