The Chippie in Richmondshire

Always try to drop in when I'm in the vicinity - fishcakes, dandelion and Burdock -- traditional fayre

Best fish and chips ever! SERIOUSLY!!!

Best fish and chips ever price average to high

Great food and good value. Meaty fish, all fresh and piping hot. Quick service and friendly staff

Unbelievably busy place but did not disappoint with regards to the fish and chips.

Great fish and chips. Not over battered and made fresh. Staff friendly. Service quick despite the queue out the door. ( Always a tell the food is good )

Found this great chip shop on our way home, great portions

Superb quality fish, fried to perfection, unfortunately the chips weren’t as good as the fish, really scrappy and dry, not terrible, but no way as good as the fish. Having said that, will definitely return if in the area

Think I maybe got warmed up chips but other than that the meal was awesome

brilliant fish and chip shop dropped 2 stars because of the long queue well worth the wait! haddock and chips!

Great fish and chips even does battered haggis nom nom 🤤 has a small restaurant on the side so you can sit inside if you wish.

Had lunch on Thursday 8 May 2025. What a wonderful well cooked Fish and Chips bread and butter and a cup tea. Highly recommend very friendly staff well done to you all

Had fish, chips, mushy peas, bread and a mug of tea at a great price in their restaurant

Very popular local chippy with long queue, however it is also the only one. Staff great and prices are good value for money. Food was well cooked, i went for haggis with chips and curry sauce. Bit disappointed with curry sauce which wasnt usually chippy curry sauce and tasted a bit sweeter but not at all like curry. Other than that would highly recomnend food.

Top quality fish and chip shop. Around 10 customers queue out the door all weekend keeping fresh food and good quality decent prices. Recommended

Food was excellent and portion size huge. Would recommend the haddock and, of course, the deep-fried wensleydale. Service was friendly, professional and prompt. Highly recommended.

Wow wow wow! Large servings and the cod was amazing! The best part for me was the curry sauce which was magnificent! Ordered a 2nd round of it. Manage to dine in on a Sat Evening & saw a queue for takeaways! It feels like Chippies is making the town feel alive! Must try when in Hawes!

Very friendly staff. Fish and chips were delicious and good value.

You have to try deep fried Wensleydale it's lovely

Really tasty out of the window I saw some police vehicles

Had a meal in the the chippy cafe, the seating is a little snug but this just adds to the ambiance of the place. The food comes in large portions really well made and tasty. Prices are really good as the quality of the food and the amount you get leave you really full. The staff serving were very attentive ,polite ,efficient. I would definitely recommend fish and chips from here after a day of walking.

Not the cheapest at £4.50 for a chip butty but it was nice and a decent cup of tea. The battered selection is always good.

Marvellous. Best chippie known to man.

Outstanding, service and food. The best fish and chip I’ve tasted. Well done 👏

Great value and huge portion of fish, great value.

an unplanned stop en-route to Askrigg as the normal road was closed… what a delightful meal! Absolutely excellent cod and chips, lovely atmosphere (Friday 7:30pm), and such a friendly team. Thank you :)

Probably the fish and chips in the world!!! Not exaggerating either!! We made an hour detour to our journey back to Glasgow to get our favourite fish and chips last night. Always worth the extra miles! Wish we had The Chippie up here!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Called today for the first time, highly recommended, gluten free fish was probably the best I've had, huge portions as well!. Very friendly staff, will definitely be back

Fish and chips are lovely. Be sure to check the opening times first to avoid disappointment!

The best chippy tea I’ve ever had. Smashes it every time.

What a little gem - lovely food, quick service and at such a reasonable price. Can’t believe they can make any money - it’s so cheap!

Very nice fish n chips 🍟 😋 walked from campsite to get them ....

One of the better chippies I've come across. I've been to a LOT of chippies, so its no insult to say that this wasn't literally the best, but it came very close! I'd heard about this chippie being 'famous,' from people in Kendal. So I thought I'd go well out of my way, and cycle to Hawes specially. When I got there, they let me charge my bicycle battery, even let me leave it charging after I'd finished eating. So Service was top rate. As for the fish and chips, gorgeous. All the places in Kendal use veg oil, but there's none of that m'larky here. It was fantastic to finally be in a place that did the proper beef tallow fat fish and chips. As it should be. And a choice of cod or haddock, most places just give you what you're given. The fish didn't look very long, but it more than made up for it with thickness. I found out when I cut into it, that it was actually a generous enough portion. The chips were crispy and lovely. And to top it all off, they had something very special on the menu that I've never seen in any other chippie ever. Fried Wenslydale cheese. So I ordered it. And it was delicious! There are other restaurants (not chippies) that do breaded fried cheese bites, but it was great to have a chippie's beef tallow twist on the dish, with such a special cheese. This chippie is definitely one of the UK's standouts.

Excellent, fresh fish and chips but no good for veggies!

Second time visiting and love this place ! Super friendly staff, always greet you with a smile. The curry is to die for and the battered Wensleydale is another level shouldn’t work but oh boy it does, and we do not mind driving the 74 miles to grab one.

Deep fried Wensleydale is the best thing ever. Had chips and onion rings also. Everything properly cooked. A traditional chippie. Big menu too but we didn’t look past deep fried Wensleydale.

When for lunch on Tuesday and had a lovely meal in the restaurant part and can recommend it to anyone. When again last night as the pizza place was closed and had the curry and rice togo it was full of meat and very tasty well worth the queue.

Fantastic food, great flavours and large portions. Thoroughly recommended and enjoyed.

Fantastic place. Decided to eat in and couldn’t recommend it enough.

Lovely food, great staff. I had sausage and chip. Mrs had cod and chips. Never had better. I have mild allergies to egg and milk. They were completely fine with this.

Busy little chippy, very reasonably priced, well cooked and great service. The battered Wensleydale cheese is a must, even if you just have it as a side 😉

Lovely fish and chips. Well worth a visit.

Fabulous fish and chips great price.

Fabulous fish and chips Deep fried wensleydale cheese OMG 😲

AWESOME FOOD! Really great fun comfort food. I went with the family during a trip and was really impressed with not only the food but the staff who was so sweet and welcoming. I wish we could have stayed longer but we stopped in during a “All creatures great and small” tour

Best I've eaten in years.ill go again definitely.owners and staff very friendly

First time I have been to the chippy and it was spot on portion size was good and the fish was amazing

Excellent value, friendly staff, highly recommend.

Excellent food!!!! The best chips and the best steak pie i have ever eaten! We will definitely be back in the future.

Fantastic fish and chips. Some of the best I've had

I’ll admit to being a bit fussy about my fish and chips but these were great. Normally I don’t buy fish and chips if I can’t hear the sea so, to go here (which is about as far from the sea as you can get in England) was breaking my normal rule. So glad I did. Excellent. And the deep fried Wensleydale cheese was a new gastronomic experience - eat your heart out Grommit.

As usual, the food and service were excellent. We live only 10 miles from the Northeast coast and its fishing ports, but sadly are unable to obtain fish of the quality served at The Chippy in Hawes, more than 60 miles from fishing ports on the east or west coasts. We’ll return on our next visit to Hawes.

The best fish chips a must try 👍👍👍

Awesome stuff. Lunch on a long bike ride. Lovely people and the fish and chips were just excellent.

Bloody marvellous place, great fish special 👌

Best fish 'n chips I've had in many moons. Particularly crispy batter on the fish. Good portion size too.

Sat down in the Cafe and had Haddock and chips. Staff were attentive, friendly and the food was excellent. Crispy batter and fresh fish. Obviously very popular for a good reason!

This Chippy is amongst the top 5I have ever had. I can highly recommend it, and do not think you would be disappointed.

Best fish and chips I've had, freshly cooked fish, plenty of choice. Will be back.

Great. £3.80 chips and gravy... I must remember I'm not in 1988 any more an stop comparing prices 🤔🤣

This has got to be one of if not the best Chip Shops anywhere, the fish be it cod or haddock are pure white and presented in a crisp batter. Chips are proper potatoes and again cooked to perfection. The Chippie also has pies on the menu, the steak pie is excellent and the gravy superb. I can highly recommend The Chippie for dining in or take-away.

Honestly the tastiest fish and chips I've ever had and well worth the price

Would highly recommend, the food was delicious, such a friendly team of people working. Definitely worth a visit

It is always delicious and has plenty of options on the menu. My father has been a lifelong customer and has passed it onto me and many others. Dine in or out it doesn't really matter since it's always a pleasure.

One of the best Fish and Chip shops in the North of England also Hawes has a great food shop Elijah Allen's - - - Hawes a great place to visit ; photo > with the help of Dale Chaser :

Lovely 'chippie' delicious food and great selection. We had a takeaway, and although there was a big queue, it was definitely worth waiting for. 5☆

Excellent fish chips and mushy peas, highly recommend 😎

Best fish n chips in my lifetime

Great chippy exactly what I expected, good portion size. We had fish, chips and mushy peas and also ordered gravy which was amazing, the gravy was to die for tasted like steak pie, my husband demolished the gravy. Also had battered wensleydale, bit strange but nice would get again. Would like to add the gravy is superb never tasted anything like it before

Me and my son drove from Lancaster just for the chippie. The chips and fish were excellent. We will be back

Better than most not as good as some. Chips were very good, fish a little on the dry side in areas. Tried the fried haggis, black pudding and Wensleydale cheese. All good apart from the latter, which was excellent. Service was so slooooooooow. Some customers left the queue out of frustration. On average it took 15 min from order to payment, that is without the 30 min waiting time before hand. Lastly, I'm of the older generation and have traveled all over this country. I can honestly say, hand on heart, I've never been to a F&C shop with so little customers/ staff interaction. It made for a really unwelcoming feeling.

Decent enough for a chippie with decent sized portions. It let's itself down, though, on some of the prices for side orders and its lack of options for extras. So, a side of baked beans (which presumably is considerably less than a tin from the local supermarket) costs £1.80. This is just way overpriced. And there's a lack of options for vegetarians: you can have a decent sized fish (with chips) for £11.95, or chicken, or sausage, but there's nothing for vegetarians -- no halloumi fritters, no veg spring roll, nothing. So, OK, but not great.

Gluten free on any day. Really good cod and chips . Was worth the wait.

Got the haddock and chips and at £9.95 I think it's good value.The haddock was excellent but I wasn't to keen on the chips.A bit to soggy for me and I think another minute or 2 in the fryer would have made them so much better.i wasn't to bothered as I didn't really enjoy them but the portion of chips wasn't the biggest I've seen either by a long way.The tomato sauce and tartare sauce were excellent tho.its a very busy chippie tho so there obviously doing things right..maybe it's just me being fussy but I'd go back again as it was definitely ok especially the fish and the homemade tartare

The best Gluten free fish I've had for a long while will definitely be back

The rest of our family enjoyed lunch here. Good portions and options for children. As we are vegan and vegetarian we had to leave them to it and eat elsewhere, as no options for us. Everything cooked in beef dripping so we couldn't even have a portion of chips. Disappointing.

After visiting the Wensleydale Creamery we enjoyed a short stroll through the village and noticed 'Fried Wensleydale' on their menu. Not sure what to expect we ordered two at only £1.75 each. The food was so delicious!! Quick service and big portions (two pieces fed the four if us!).

The deep fried Wensleydale was beautiful, but I should have got a battered pineapple ring to go with it, so I'll be going back at some point!

The best place to try deep-fried battered wensleydale!

Best chips i havd had in a long time , battered Haggis was yum! Like being home! Atmosphere between was a bit weird 😳

Generally very nice and very popular which meant there was quite a long wait for the food. The food was a little greasy but very tasty. They sell deep fried Wensleydale which was amazing. I would definitely go there again.

First time of getting a takeaway fish and chips from here, and I can see why everyone raves about it! Good value and amazing fish and great chips and sides. Well worth a visit if you are in Hawes .

A well deserved fish'n'chips after a 40 mile bike ride. Opened at 11.30 on Sunday morning, but worth the wait.

Love the deep fried wensleydale, top class fish and chips too.

Deep fried Wensleydale cheese is to die for. Can't beat melted gooey cheese in crunchy batter. Didn't try fish and chips so can't comment on that. The queue was quite long and slow. Ended up taking half an hour to get the food.

Cracking fish and chips! Highly recommended, thanks! 👍

Outstanding fish n chips very nice indeed 👌 would recommend them

Best fish and chips around at reasonable prices and lots of choice on the menu

Super fish and chips, the thickest fish I’ve ever had. Crispy and fresh what can I say. The chips were a little greasy but it didn’t ruin the meal. Great service and the decorations were so good and traditional to modern. Loved the desperate toilet people signs. Family restaurant to a T.

Great fish and chips. The batter was crisp and not greasy, the fish was tasty and fresh, the service was quick and friendly. Not open on Mondays. Good cafe attached too. Strongly recommended!

Really slow. There were no more than a dozen people in the queue when I joined and it took 50 minutes to get a portion of haddock and chips. It doesn’t help that you’re also in effect queuing behind everyone in the restaurant as well as the takeaway queue. It’s good food but not special, and there’s no way it justifies the wait. No way to know that until you’ve realised just how slow they are though…

Absolutely fantastic food, good friendly staff, can't wait to see you all again.

Really good service and the food was fantastic.

Best fish and chips we have had in years and reasonably priced

Absolutely fantastic food with excellent service

Lovely big fish cakes and the gravy seems to be from their meat pie production, perfect for dipping chips in, really rich and tasty ! Definately be back again.

Nice chippy. Good sized portions and quite reasonably priced for a tourist town. Friendly staff. Tables are a bit cramped with fixed seating.

We got our meal to take out waited in the queue for nearly an hour got it home fish was do dry and the batter was over cooked chips and mushy peas OK.

Lovely food but service slow, because it's made when you order.

Had wonderful fish and chips plus the instagram sensation deep fried Wensleydale, absolutely superb. Great service, location and prices.
