The Frying Yorkshireman in Craven

Coming home from Leeds on our Harley last weekend we were getting a little cold so decided to stop for a bite to eat and were lucky enough to stumble upon this delightful Chippy. We ate in - portions were good - I had large fish & chips my wife a medium and we were happy with the potions. The staff were brilliant and freindly - proper pot of tea and not a long wait for the meal. It wasnt't cheap but then nothing is anymore and we were very happy with the quality, size and staff make us very welcome - would recommend to anyone.

After reading some reviews for this chippy we ordered two portions of fish and chips, they weren’t cheap and the portion sizes were very different. A lot of the chips were stone cold and very hard, one fish was about half the size of the other, swimming in oil and half cooked batter. Hugely disappointing for an allegedly award winning takeaway. Will not be going back!

Saw the shop on Saturday while driving by. Saw it again today while on our way out, decided we would call in on way back to our cottage. Delighted to find out we could eat inside in tge restaurant. Lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. We hadn't booked a table, but this was fine. Unsure on portion size I looked around to see another couple already eating theirs... was able to confirm small and medium portions were ample. Pot of Yorkshire Tea for two, with extra hot water to top up. Food arrived hot and well presented, with a wedge of lemon. Fish was lightly battered, crispy and not too thick... chunky fish so tasty. Chips were a good size/thickness and not greasy. Restaurant itself was modern, clean, a lovely setting. Highly recommend, well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Lovely little restaurant. Very clean. Really friendly staff. Fast service. I had small fish and chips which was £10-£11 Large fish and chips was £16.50 A little pricey but will 100% return

Popped in on speck as we sometimes walk in Gargrave .First time we tried them and are absolutely delighted . Shared a medium portion and it was more than enough for the two of us . The curry sauce was the best ever ( I am a connoisseur of curry sauce) Very reasonable no waste and would recommend

Meal in the restaurant was brilliant. Excellent well cooked fresh fish and chips . Couldn’t fault it at all brill food in clean welcoming cafe . Return visits will occur

Best Fish and chips I have had for a long time, so good I had to go back the next day for some more. Nice place nice people good food.

These were best fish 'n' chips we've enjoyed for some time. Beautifully cooked, crisp and non-greasy food, with friendly service. Clean and tidy place - excellent!

Having been before it was an easy decision to return, we had a warm welcome from the staff and like previous times the food was great. If you want good food served with a smile then this is the place to go.

The food was fantastic as was the service. Nothing was too much trouble and it was very clean. I would highly recommend probably worth booking at busy periods.

Loved the fish and chips on Friday after our day on the canal. Staff were friendly and attentive (a special mention to Carmel). All food was cooked fresh and was very tasty and plentiful. My fish was perfect with a delicious light and crispy batter. The vegan dish my daughter had was declared a big hit too. What a lovely cosy, friendly, good value place to eat. It was our second visit and definitely our go to when out on the canal. 🌟

Stayed in the cafe, excellent food excellent service definitely revisiting . Trying the takeaway today. Let you know how it goes.

Amazing fish and chips, great service from the staff and a cosy environment. Our go-to place in Yorkshire for eating in.

Excellent friendly service & food. All cooked fresh to order. Perfectly prepared & the Tartare sauce was superb. Not to be missed if you’re looking for take away Fish & Chips. There’s also an eating in option next door.

Great fish and chips lovely for children too . Small fish and chips for me and medium for husband . Children have a menu including fish and other choices ice cream and drink for five ninty five !

staying in our campervan nearby visited for tea on friday evening, good sign the takeaway shop was packed so we sat and ate inside the dining room, so glad we did proper yorkshire fish and chips, food was beautiful and cooked to perfection, lady who served us was so helpful and friendly, dont miss this if your in the area 👌

A year ago we I gave a 5 star review for this restaurant, this time its 1 star for the take away! The absolute WORST food I've had in years!! We've been to the restaurant here several times and always enjoyed but today it was closed so we got a take away. BIG MISTAKE!! When I started eating my meal the first couple of chips were thin scraps so I kept looking for the plump fresh ones - I found TWO in the whole box! Even then those two were bad on the end. We had to wait for the food to be cooked and we feel we have been given the scraps that were left over and warmed up. The fish also tasted like it had been recooked, it was inedible. For £16.30 we expected a decent meal but ended up throwing half away - I wouldn't even give it to the dog! The service was bad too, we were asked if we wanted a carrier bag and then told afterwards it was 25p! They even tried not giving us it and had to check that we had paid. Safe to say we will NOT be coming back. I don't give this review lightly, but on this occasion I feel it necessary, the fryer must have known he was giving us poor food and if you give rubbish food you have to expect bad reviews. Do better!!

3rd visit to this fish and chip shop! Great food, good prices and great service! Had Pie, chips, gravy and mushy peas! Loved it!

The best fish and chip shop in the north and therefore the country. Standards never drop and lovely staff 👍

This has got to be the most expensive chippy in Yorkhire. Also the staff have got to be the most ignorant around (not once was we asked "how was your food" and thats after spending over £90 (after all its only a chippy). To top it all the food was NOT up to much either (my fish WAS undercooked) NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

Absolutely great service. Good value for money are various sized portions. Would definitely visit again when in area.

Very good fish and chips, stayed locally for a holiday and enjoyed their take away fish and chips. Staff pleasant and helpful, good quality, freshly cooked fish.

Visited on a Saturday evening and used the dine in facility which was comfortable, and spotlessly clean. We ordered Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas which came with homemade tartare sauce. The fish was flaky and tasty covered in a light crispy batter, with the chips well cooked,soft and fluffy with crispy exterior served with great mushy peas. The tartare sauce was superb, we even asked for an extra portion as it was so good. Overall excellent quality and service and well worth a visit

Now this is how you do fish n chips!! Light crispy batter, crisp fluffy chips and a really tangy fruity curry sauce. Nicely served in enviro friendly packaging. Delicious through and through. Compared to the over priced badly cooked offering we had earlier in the week this is a 10 star chippy! Thanks guys n gal.

Well you can't go to Yorkshire and not have fish and chips, what can I say....lightly battered fish that melted in my mouth, hot fresh chips and homemade tartar sauce to die for..all washed down with a good strong pot of tea...honestly the best fish and chips I've had in a long time...just wish I lived closer. Thank you "The Frying Yorkshire Man"

Over the years I think I must have visited nearly every fish and chip shop in Yorkshire and Cumbria, so know the difference between a bad one and a good one. The Frying Yorkshireman (and its predecessor) in Gargrave has consistently been one of the very best and if asked, I would recommend it as among the best in the North of England. Therefore, I was recently a bit saddened when I visited and standards had clearly slipped, the counter service was poor and food quality had deteriorated, moreover portion sizes (always good at the Frying Yorkshireman) had reduced considerably. Not good. To be fair, I believe that it was trainee staff behind the counter and the lad who was serving was just not up to the job and clearly couldn't care less, while I was there he managed to knock the display above the counter off its mounts (it hit the floor of the shop with a heck of a crash) and then served up a small and mediocre portion of chips, it was derisory and not up to the standard of this great establishment. I do believe in giving second chances though, so was really pleased when on a recent visit I found that things were back up to standard, the food was fresh and well-prepared and served in decent portions, I really do hope that my recent negative experience was just a one-off. The Frying Yorkshireman is a fantastic fish and chip shop, it's worth a visit.

Freshly cooked crispy fish ---Perfect---With friendly staff behind the counter---- An ace card in Gargrave -----for residents and tourists alike.

Stopped off for a chippy dinner, nice clean restaurant, connected to the chip shop. Service was quick and very friendly, As not being to busy, we ordered our the large fish and chips, The plates arrived and we were a bit shocked at the size of the fish and the amount on the plates. Every thing was piping hot and really fresh, fish was very white and flaky. Chips we're crispy not at all soggy. Being hungry we managed to finish the whole plate. For what we got we felt the price was reasonable. Well worth a visit if your in Gargrave.

Best fish & chips for ages. Really nice, white flaky flesh. Nice crisp batter, not soggy & amazing chips. I'd definately visit again if in the area.

Called here after a day out in the Dale's and got the medium fish and chips,the fish was really tasty and the chips were spot on,highly recommended !!!

Wow. Amazing staff and even better food, I had the large fish and chips and it was amazingly good. I now however have a good baby growing in me due to the ample portion size. Five star just isn’t enough for this brilliant place.

This is the best fish and chips by far. So please its on my door step, really good grub. If you passing through or local you will not be disappointed. Read one review on hear that made me laugh..... some people never say anything good, you just have to check there other comments to get a flavour of their character.

Perfect fish and chip restaurant. Service is smiling and efficient, choice of food and drinks is better than one would expect. Vegetarian choice is cooked separately, which is perfect for me!

I ordered a cheeseburger and my partner had Jumbo sausage and chips. Absolutely excellent - couldn’t fault it. The place looks very clean, staff are friendly, and the food is great.

Delicious cod & chips, ordered via Facebook DM on a rainy Monday evening. Highly recommended, can’t be faulted.

Nice fish and chips plus a steamed fish with chips fried in a GF oil option. Order and served at the front door with a short wait for COVID purposes.

Staying round the corner from The Frying Yorkshireman, after three nights of delicious wafts around the village rumbling our collective tums, four fish and chips were very much enjoyed. Highly recommend.

Staying at a local campsite, I messaged via Facebook asking a number of questions and got almost immediate reply. Ordered via Facebook too and food was ready and hot at the allocated pick up time. The staff who served were very pleasant and had everything...

nice little chippie opposite the co-op main road ..reasonably priced not overly expensive in a nice location unfortunately the potato scallops or DABS (Lancashire) were undercooked and the chips were obviously re-heated from earlier or had been kept awhile. The saving grace was the fish...

Tried this place out a couple of times now and each time I realize that despite passing it every day I shouldn't bother coming back. I guess i keep hoping my last time was just bad luck but so far just dry chips, bland fish...

Best fish (lightly battered) that we have eaten for years. A really first class fish and chip shop. We live in Oxford and were just passing through - now I am tempted to move to Gargrave! (We ate in - very attractive restaurant).

Really nice fish and chips. The restaurant has only been open a few weeks and looks really nice. The service was excellent. My mind of fish and chips.

Fantastic little restaurant and take-away fish & chip shop. There was good foot-fall in the take-away, which is always a good sign. We opted to eat in the restaurant instead and we were so glad we did. The quality of the fish and chips was...
