The Frying Pan in Leeds

Never fails as a solid fish and chips shop for locals, run by locals.

Fantastic chippy , great staff . Best fish cake I’ve ever had !!

Fantastic chippy. Everyone must try it!

Visited on 21st September to grab a single portion of chips. They tasted as if they'd been refried again and again. Picked out the softer, more edible ones and threw away three quarters of a pack. Service was crap, too. Miserable young girl behind the counter. Won't be visiting again.

I visited here on Tuesday evening, it was not very busy and the guy on the till could not cope. He got 90% of the orders wrong just whilst I was waiting for my food and the service was slow as a result of him making errors. The fish was nice and freshly cooked, maybe because it was someone’s wrong order before me who didn’t want a fish, they wanted spam fritter. The scallops tasted as if they had been out most of the day. If I wanted fast food this certainly was not that, I would be bypass this place when passing through again and strongly advise the lad on the till especially if he’s a new guy, to pay more attention to customers or maybe write the orders down if it’s too much.

Not quite sure maybe eight years ago or 10 years ago used to really rate this fish and chip shop and I’m not quite sure when but at some point it just wasn’t as good, not being for a few years and I’ve been been thinking about return visit now for awhile. Large haddock and chips, one cartoon of mushy peas, and scraps today’s purchase . Chips nine out of 10 ,scraps 10 out of 10 , fish batter about a seven or eight, But I couldn’t really give the fish more than six and it was the same for both fishes . It just wasn’t completely fresh and it didn’t have those big flakes that I expect from a large haddock . Before I came, I read the guy that was saying in his review the fish cake was not fresh and it did make me slightly apprehensive . Both fishes were fully eaten, but there was just that slight element that suggested they weren’t quite fresh as well as a little bit of color discrepancy . This was a destination trip . As always, I believe my review to be fair and accurate praising where praise is due . It’s a silly question asking about atmosphere. I’m not really sure how you answer such a thing in a Takeaway fish and chip shop.. Personally, I didn’t go into either of them so there’s no way I could answer that question however, the person that did made no negative comment whatsoever .

Polite staff , fishcake was absolutely rotten made me feel sick to my stomach , threw the full thing away , charged 1.40 for a dribble of curry sauce over my order , shocking .

Great fish and chip shop highly recommend

Excellent food and wonderful service.

Fish cake didn't taste too nice

Good but perhaps slightly on the expensive side.

We stopped going to this fish and chip shop about 18 months ago as when we got home the chips were cold. We normally go to the Wetherby Whaler. On this evening we were feeling tired so decided to give the Frying Pan another try. That was a mistake. The girls serving were not interested in the customers they didn't know, only laughing and joking with local customers they knew. When we opened up the fish and chips, the chips were burnt. I'd seen the person serving picking bits off my order and it must have been the chips that were burnt the most. The batter was flaccid and the fish didn't taste of anything, it didn't have that lovely fresh fish taste you get with the Whaler. Next time we won't be lazy, we'll travel a bit further and get a much nicer meal two minutes down the road. It's a bit of a cheek how much they charge for a poor meal. It seemed to me like there was no one in charge who was bothered.

Lovely chips, cooked beautifully on the outside and fluffy on the inside! A really good portion, enough for us to share for lunch. Please make sure you visit here!!!

Fabulous freshly cooked fish and chips best I've had in years thankyou

Friendly staff and good quality fish and chips.

This has been my 'go to' fish and chip shop for many years now. Even though I have a much more local chippy in the village that I live in. I always choose to drive the extra few miles into Wetherby because there is no comparison between them... These are proper fish and chips, cooked the way they should be, not in oil, but in dripping. The key to the tastiest fish and chips is the Dripping. Unfortunately it seems to be becoming a bit of a rarity nowadays, with many using cheaper cooking oil. The other more famous one in Wetherby is guilty of this crime against fish and chips. And that is why the locals go to the Frying Pan and the sheep go to the Whaler. If you know, you know!

Fantastic family business. Great value. Friendly staff.

Wehave been using the Frying Pan for many years and the fish and chips are always fresh and deliciously, the service friendly and good value.

Food food very friendly staff excellent chip shop

fast service for a big order, always welcoming and helpful would definitely recommend to anyone in Wetherby.

Great fish and chips, very friendly staff. Definitely be going again.

Super busy, queuing out the door. And not surprised, very good quality food although I was not asked which curry sauce I would like, like everyone before me but it's ok

Best in wetherby!! Amazing food!! Amazing staff. Always happy to help!! Kids made me drive for 40 mins to get them today!!

Far better than Wetherby Whaler, very cheerful staff. Great fish.

All good, friendly staff nice chips and plenty, I had fishcake too, this too was of a good size and tasty No hesitation in recommending I will be back :-)

Third time visiting as it is 100 miles round trip. The fish lightly battered is excellent, not had anything to equal it hence I keep returning and will do so in future.

OMG the fish! So fresh and so goood. Dimply Delicious. Very good chips complete the supper. Thank you

Really good chippy little on the expensive side now, the highlights is the Chinese curry sauce and the mushy peas are much better then whaler, the special is massive but the normal fish is small. They were bigger but been away for 7 months. Definitely worth trying.

Lovely fish and chips (well, I had a sausage, my Wife had the fish). Had an afternoon out in Wetherby, and were tempted to try the Whaler, but their prices are ridiculous. Saw a proper tradional chippy on the map so stopped by the pub next door until they opened at 4:30pm. We each got a meal deal (with side, and can of pop). Food was very nice, cooked perfectly, and big portions. Sat outside to eat, in the scorching late afternoon sun. Friendly staff, and great service. Will definitely come again if we ever visit Wetherby in the future.

Lovely take away fish and chips. Everything was top draw Seats outside were a bonus in the sunshine

The only place we will get our fish and chips, they're the best! Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous meal! best chips in wetherby, haggis tasted just like home thankyou 😊

Driving up to Scotland, and stopped en-route. Fabulous, tasty and delicious fish and chips. Well worth the detour. Thank you

Love the food from here never had a bad meal staff are friendly and nothings to much trouble. It's our go to fish shop best in wetherby.. would recommend to anyone....

Food is always top notch and staff are very friendly

Always a great meal, service always wonderful with pleasant staff.

Recommended to us by someone local, we weren't disappointed, best fish n chips we've had for ages, worth a try.

Great fish and chips, freshly cooked, wuick service and friendly staff. Only downside is lack of disabled parking or parking generally and not wheelchair friendly. But still worth the hassle for great fish and chips

Best Spamfritter and chips I've had in ages, loads of scraps, cooked to perfection.

Excellent service and excellent food, always.

Lovely fish n chips. Friendly staff. Usually cook fresh for you. Keep frying!

Hands down the best fish and chips in the area. Got mine foil wrapped to keep hot for the longer drive home.

Nice chippie. Good food, friendly service.

Definitely the best chippy in Wetherby.

I’ve had some Fish and Chips in my time - but none as good as these! The quality and portion size is excellent - and the staff are very friendly. 10/10.

Without doubt the best Fish & Chips in Wetherby. Really tasty fresh fish in a crisp batter and chips that had just come out of the fryer. Friendly staff for whom nothing was too much trouble and reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area

Visited this chippie on numerous occasions and the food is consistently brilliant Top friendly staff and great service Well worth a visit !!!!!

A great chippy nice quality food

Really good Chippy with great fish and chips and friendly staff. Always good service and great quality food too. There's a lot to live up to with the Whaler in Wetherby but this Fish and Chip shop has my vote 👍.

Great food and great service always with a smile

Well this was our first visit to The Frying Pan and it won’t definitely be our last. What a true gem this place is. Lovely, friendly people with fantastic tasting food. The cod was perfect and the ingredients of the greatest quality. Great prices too! Would recommend without hesitation. Thank you!

I certainly enjoy their Fish and Chips. Staff are polite, quick and efficient and the shop is clean, what more could you ask.

Every time recently they’ve forgotten to give me my full order. Last week was a portion of chips and last night was two battered sausages. Tried calling on both occasions and no answer! We’re local (ish) but a car drive away. Very annoying and frustrating as I don’t want to change back to the Wetherby Whaler but at this rate might have to!

While the staff were very nice, I ordered a small fish and chips for my sister and a fish and battered sausage. Upon my return home I discovered a very small fish in my wrapper and no sausage. My sister who went home to her house had a large fish and chips but not my sausage either. Sadly still, though still open the chip shop refused to answer the phone. Very disappointed.

Freshly fried fish & chips & a cup of tea, sat at the outside tables watching the world go by@

Food was great, service was great. Who knew a seat outside a fish shop could be so comfy.

Down wetheby for work, and just called at the frying pan! Dont bother going anywhere else. Food is unreal! 100% impressed. Staff friendly. Next time im down wetheby.... fryin pan it is. Faultless (and exceptional reasonably priced!)

Fantastic fish and chips! Fish bits meal is great for a smaller sized snack

Been for the second time here now and it's still terrible chips more like chewing gum fish very average NOT FOR ME SORRY

very good fish and chips but has paper wrapping so makes fish batter stick to it and get soggy so when you take it out it’s lost a lot of it’s quality. still a recommend

Best beef dripping chips I've ever tasted took me back to my childhood , fish was amazing , staff friendly and helpful, as had things never heard of , can't wait to go back

Slightly expensive in comparison but lovely fish and chips definitely worth the money

What a nice little place and such great food. The staff were really lovely. A definite recommendation.

Searched for the best Fish & chips in Wetherby and got this place. It is indeed very nice,to my surprise the chicken bites were also amazing. The staff were polite and friendly.

Splendid fish and chips always get the special fish with a carton of curry

It's the frying pan, what else is there to say apart from, ENJOY.👌

Absolutely amazing fish, well worth the 5hr car ride via Boston

Best fish and chips in Wetherby. Great quality, service and portions.

Best chippy in Wetherby. Beats the whaler! Great fish with tasty chips at a decent price!

Absolutely cracking fish and chips. We've definitely been converted and will be coming back for more. The staff are super friendly. Thank you 5*.

Wasn't sure which way to queue. Staff were polite and friendly and was served quite quickly.

Best Fish shop in Wetherby. Far far better than Wetherby Whaler. Hat’s off to the fryer - fish cooked to perfection - brilliant.

Great food pleasant staff reasonable prices

The battle of the fish and chips in wetherby. Both Frying pan and Wetherby Whaler are worth a try. I can't make my mind up who is better, so calling it a draw.

Fish this evening was disgracefully small for 6.80.

Lovely fish and chips...always stop on the way back from watching Hartlepool United play away.

Stumbled on this chippie one hot sunny evening, sat outside with fish & chips and they were superb. Freshly cooked, perfect. Plan to call there on my next visit to Wetherby.

Best fish and chips in Wetherby..

Fish and chips weren't nice at all, didn't even finish my fish and chips. They just tasted of grease and were soggy.

The Frying Pan is a local favourite. The staff are lovely, the food is delicious and portions are always generous. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!

We stopped at The Frying Pan on our way home down the A1. The fish was nice, chips hot although somewhat soggy but the portions were extremely small - much smaller than the mini fish portions at my local chippy even though I was charged for a standard portion. Well below the normal standard of Yorkshire fish and chips.

Got recommended by my sis who used to work in wetherby and we had a day out in knareborough. Came prepared with cutlery baking tray and lemon to have a car dinner date Everything was great and im sure the last pic shows that

Very quick service the staff were very friendly and the food was one of the best I've had. Fabulous

Best around. Arrived early evening and appreciated the outdoor seating

Lovely fish n chips will be back

Fantastic fish and chips and always pleasant staff.

Fried to Order, Hot when you leave best Fish & Chips in Wetherby there is another Fish & Chips in Wetherby but definitely not a patch on the Frying Pan.

Staff are always friendly and feels very cobid safe

Had fish and chips from here as a good Friday treat, my husband and I really enjoyed them. Lovely fish with crispy batter and good portion of chips!

Just had excellent fish & chips

Nice bag of chips bit expensive for a pie

Visitors go to the whaler, locals go to the frying pan. That should tell you everything you need to know...

This is better than the Whaler by far. .. I love In Wetherby and I always use this one when I treat myself to fish n chips ..

Just had fish bites and chips for my tea..all the others had the full fish chips peas etc...not a bit left..not a sound uttered..clean plates and satisfied full tums all round. ..excellent from the F P as usual.

A great fish and chip shop. Great chips and the 'special' fish is my favourite combination

Friendly staff, great food, well worth a visit

Love this fish n chip place. So friendly and thier food is lovely too.

Just as good as home made...10/10. Worth the trip from Nr Leeds & Bradford Airport. Try n lickyour lips......👍👍👍

Always cooked well , probably best in Wetherby

Always great fish and chips The two best fish and chip shops in a ten mile radius is the frying pan and the coranation fisheries harrogate.
