The Golden Bite in Harrogate

fantastic some of the best fish and chips I have had for a long time well worth a visit definitely will call again in fact going to call tmooro while we are in bourghbridge

We enjoyed outstanding haddock along with chips that were nice but not fantastic. Maybe cut them a little fatter and use fresher oil? Would definitely return when in town.

We have always used this fish shop and always get great fish and chips. Just recently the service has gone down with people have to wait up to 29 minutes outside after they have ordered. They need to improve their method of operation.

A traditional fish and chip shop. Very nice fish and chips. Not much parking but it’s only a minutes walk from the main shopping area. Fish cooked to order. The assistant pointed out I could save some money by buying a meal deal. Very happy to go again

Cannot understand some of the negative comments (unless it has changed hands) because everything was 'spot on' The fish (lightly battered) was lovely and fresh and cooked to perfection. The chips were beautiful with good quality potatoes used. I had a portion of curry sauce with mine which was also excellent. All in all 10/10 Footnote: The owner was very friendly and polite. We were visiting but would not hesitate to recommend this place.

Really good fish and chip shop, very efficient and food is always fresh and hot. Highly recommended!

Can't say anymore than aaa O. K. Then, our fish and chips were mmm and so were the scraps Thankyou x

This is the forth time we have visited this fish and chip shop and can without any doubt say it is the best we have ever had, the fish is so light and batter lovely and crisp, my husband can normally struggle to eat all his fish and chips, he ate the lot and some of mine. We are struggling to understand the comments made are they sure they have the right fish and chip shop. We are glad we ignored the negative comments.

This isn't the first time we've eaten here, but it will probably be the last. Neither wifey nor I enjoyed the fish and chips. Fish was greasy with soggy batter, and the chips were just disappointing.

Awful fish and chips. Soggy, undercooked chips, stodgy fat-soaked batter. Tasted as though the oil hasn’t been changed in months. A couple of mouthfuls and the rest went in the bin.

We were on a day out to this pleasant Yorkshire town when we came across golden bite fish and chip shop, we were amazed at the excellent quality of the food, best ever, also the ladies in the shop were very pleasant and friendly, definitely give it a try if you get the chance, you won’t be disappointed.

What a rude man! Horrible to his staff and customers. You are lucky to still be earning a living and by the way, it's the customers who are your reason for being. Maybe it's time to sell up and try something else!

The best fish and chips I've had in a long time. Fish was fantastic big portions too. Very freindly staff will definitely go again 😃👍

This fish and chip shop is the best in the world I don’t care what anyone says there batter is amazing if I could I would drop my self in the batter

Always excellent fish and chips. This has become our new favourite. Big portions, nice fish and peas. Staff friendly and everything very clean and efficient in these pandemic times of queuing.

This our go to fish and chip shop. When passing by on our way home from watching the football or rugby this place is just the place to buy tea to save cooking. Good portion sizes, not too big and the fish is lovely. Lucky it is so near to home

Had a lovely take away from here, great to have a local fish a chip shop that is nice quality, will be returning :)

This is our local fish and chip shop, and in our opinion, the very best locally. We have tried all of them within a 5 miles radius. This is excellent for freshly cooked fish and chips at a reasonable price and with friendly service. It's a popular shop so queues are inevitable but they reduce relatively quickly. Portion size is good, and we often have 2 fish but only 1 chips, and of course, 2 mushy peas. Superb! Well done.

Definitely on a par with Wetherby Whaler and Thompsons (A64) and would say better than Land and Sea at Thirsk. Young female on tills was lovely too.

We were lucky enough to discover this gem whilst staying at The Crown. Now we make sure we stay in Boroughbridge anytime we travel oooop North from Essex. Best fish and chips I’ve had since I was a little girl living in Co. Durham. Batter is superb, all cooked fresh. Chips are delicious and sides are fab. Love the scraps and the wonderful service.

This is possibly the best chippy I've ever been to ! Beautiful haddock & scampi with huge portionselection of chips ! Everything is freshly fried & not swimming in grease.

The sheer number of customers coming here daily tells you how good it is ! When we're in Boroughbridge, its invariably scampi and/or fish over the weekend ! Everything freshly cooked & huge portions ! Even the curry sauce & mush peas are really good !

Although we only drive through Boroughbridge occasionally we always stop at the Golden Bite. Excellent fish and chips, freshly cooked and very tasty.

A very clean take away serving the most delicious food.. nice and fresh and well priced will return.

Ive never eaten here before but certainly will do in the future! My special Fish was spot on and great portion size. Whilst I did not have chips the portions I saw being delivered were massive!

Got 5 fish 1 jumbo sausage and 4 chips for an impromptu family supper and it was fab and affordable. Service was top notch too

Staying in boroughbridge for the night and decided to get a chippy and wasn't disappointed!! Portions are great size and really good prices too 😁

Although just a local chippie, (not a restaurant - a takeaway), in Boroughbridge, the quality of all the items they sell is very good, and all sold at very reasonable prices. Cannot fault it in any way. Very friendly staff at all times. I

Very good takeaway. Good value with food always hot and prompt! Easy parking on the High Street in the centre of Boroughbridge! Recommended!

They say fish on friday. This fish n chip shop is worth a visit anytime, Large fish and loads of chips, We usually have 2 fish and 1 chips well enough for us.

Stopped off here on a coach trip, great fish and chips all cooked in beef dripping. Staff were friendly and I have to say they are one of the best fish and chips I’ve had ever had. Must try.

Even though this chippy is a 20min drive away from home, the food is worth it! Batter is lovely and crispy! Fish seems really fresh and well cooked! Staff behind the scenes are always welcoming! What more is there to enjoy!

Often visited and quality of takeaway meals always good and good value too. A sign of how popular it is are the queues at lunchtime!

I know it was a busy Friday night. I know they had one fryer out of action . I can handle the wait but, to get the order wrong again is unforgivable. By the time we got home one family member missed out. It's not the first time. Too busy looking pretty. Useless

One of the best places where you can have a great fish & chips the british traditional way.Thank you .

Vivimos en Wakefield y estaban viajando por la zona y encontramos el bocado doradas. . . Para ser justos, seguido nuestra nariz! El personal era amable, el servicio rápido, el pescado cocinado y los precios razonables. Tengo que decir que estos son el mejor pescado y patatas fritas que hemos comido. . El bateador. No era grueso o pasada, las raciones eran generosas, el pescado era preciosa y blanca y cocinado a la perfección y las patatas fritas eran bien cocido. Fueron muy agradable y si estamos en la zona de nuevo, sin duda volveremos - recomendamos encarecidamente. El mejor pescado y patatas fritas que hemos tenido en mucho tiempo.

Estábamos en la zona y decidimos en pescado y patatas fritas y nos dirigimos por el bocado de oro. Tiene críticas mixtas, pero nos pareció que el servicio era bueno y la comida muy sabrosa y buena relación calidad-precio.

Que son clientes habituales aquí y la mayoría de las veces, la comida es estupenda, hoy no fue la excepción. La parte de la porción es enorme, hay fichas suficientes si desea compartir. El pescado está muy bien cocinada con pasta crujiente, sin duda no es pasada. La salsa curry chino es una buena adición y el personal es amable. A menudo esperar TheAre shot mientras su pescado cocinado, pero me gusta este por lo menos saben que no ha sentado allí durante años, ¿qué más se puede pedir de una tienda de chips.

A good chippy is a rare find, we found one when we used this place. Absolutely perfect and the portion sizes are huge. Next time we'll order for just one of us and share.

Fantastic fish and chips comes in a lovely big tray makes eating easier, great proper mushy peas, can be hard to park on main road as always popular, open every day lunch and night time even on a Sunday night

Just at times let down by the staff.fish and chips ok but some of the staff they have can be odd probably harsh to say ignorant and don't communicate.inconsisent portion sizes.i think they get away with this as they are the only chippie in Boroughbridge.ive ordered large chips and got less than when ordering medium and vice versa.

There always appears to be no continuity of staff at the Golden Bite, with inexperienced youngsters lacking basic customers skills being the norm and inconsistent quality being a consequence.On my last visits they have had only one cooking pan which may have explained the fish being excellent, and the chips, stone cold and soggy.Used to great.

Had not been here for quite some while until just recently, however we found the fish to be excellent as always, but the chips left a lot to be desired, why do fish'n'chip shops insist on frying the scrappy tiny ends of the potatoes and serving them as part of your portion of chips, come on chippy's, potatoes are not that expensive compared to what chips are priced at, lets get back to proper whole chips, the Golden Bite used to serve really good chips when we started coming here some years ago, also the price seems to have increased by far more than inflation, also some of the young kids working here need adult supervision in my view.Having said all that, still a good Fish'n'Chip shop to visit.

Disappointing fish and chips. Have visited 3 times so given a chance that once was just an off day. Try Wetherby Whaler in Wetherby. Been going there for 40 years (and their other branches) Never a bad meal from them. (Or Drakes)

My partner and I was visiting the area this August on a business trip and staying in a local hotel, we had been recommended to visit the golden bite as we were told the chips were amazing.On the day we decided to grab some food from there we asked the young guy working on the till when taking our order if they sold savaloys., we were answered with a rude grunt and a look as if to say he couldn't be bothered to work there , after ordering just chips he asked us of we wanted salt and vinegar which we replied yes please to later find out he hadn't bothered to put any on. We was dissapointed by the service and if honest the chips were not as good as we were expecting.

This is a great takeaway fast food shop excellent for everyone the fish is great ,battered burgers and sausages are awesome.

The special fish was massive and probably amongst the best I've had however the chips let the meal down, far too greasy and sloppy unfortunately. Not how I remember from years ago!

Visited one evening in July 1016. Chips cold and undercooked. Sausages where ok. Fish was batter surrounding air. Over priced. Never again.

£ 5.50 for a large fish, a large portion of lovely golden brown moist but not greasy chips and as many 'bits' or scraps as we call them back home. A proper chippy. Highly recommended

We live near Ripon but drive all the way to Boroughbridge for this fish and chip shop because they are the best! it has got me to start eating fish again after many years of just eating the chips whilst everyone else in the family eat sausage or fish! It does depend on who's frying tho. Will continue going here

I can only criticise that there is always a que! Lovely fresh fish and chips, normally cooked fresh. Friendly staff.....

Had the special fish and chips here and had to write a review for no other reason than the fish was so nice I am looking forward to my next visit to this area as I will be returning for a further helping well done very enjoyable

The staff are lovely and they cook the fish when you go in. You cannot fault them. They cook them how you want them . They also do sausages and pies, peas, curry and drinks. Simply the best. I have been there for more than ten years.

A long cold day and too tired to cookStopped by and picked up some fish and chips for allFreshly cooked so really tasted very nice indeedThey tend to cook to order - which means food is hot and fresh but you do have a little waitAlways friendly. Not open late at all, shut by 8pm every day from what I can tellVery pleasant fish and chips - large battered sausages also highly recommended !

Don't know if I'm going off fish and chips, but they used to be lovely from here but lately they have been greesey and not nice sorry to have to say this as they used to be good

Delicious meal taken to riverside seats on a fine afternoon. Would not hesitate to eat from the Golden bite again!

The best chippy in and around Ripon without a doubt! Friendly staff always got a smile and very prompt service. The fish is yo die for ;);)

The food is lovely! I would come here every night if I could!!! The chips are nice and soft. The staff are very helpful and cheerful

Been using for over 10 years, used to be great fish & chips - not now. Staff never heard of "please and thank you", treat well cooked fish with complete disregard, throw bags of food around, slam on counter and last time gave me curry instead of peas. Customer service training long overdue. I hear the local mobile chippy is great.

Went specially for the restaurant, 40 mins drive. Would have been nice to advise people on the various web sites that it is in fact closed. We went and asked an assistant about the restaurant and was told in a very surly manner that they no longer have one. Had them by the river instead, very nice.

I will try somewhere else off A1 next time. Poor service, fish was OK but poor quantity/quality chips.

This place does a roaring trade in take-away, and justifiably so. Great classic fish and chips, fresh, well cooked, and served with a smile. The fish special will feed two...it needed folding in half to fit in the box...

Great menu, delicious fish and chips. The smell entices you in. A real chip shop. Ideally situated. Good value

It can be very hit and miss the quality of the fish and chips , if your hungry it fills a gap but there are far better ones in ripon.

Only had takeaways from here but will travel from Ripon for them. Large portions freshly cooked and always a bit of banter from the staff. Best for miles.

Over cooked, dry, and left standing.People will wait for freshly cooked food! I really wished that the staff wore hair nets or hats and sensible dress, its very off putting to be served by young girls with bananarama hair and that dress like they're ready to go clubbing.The staff are polite is the only positive for i have. if they had some local competition things would improve.

Always good, but just a shame they don't open later than 8pm. Staff seem friendly, can recommend. What's not to like

Good reliable local fish and chip shop. Range of food (eg: burgers etc). Plenty of portion and sometimes just what you need after a long day at work. Would be even better if they didn't over cook the chips so much - they often come across as a bit soggy. Always seems busy though not open very late and only one in town

We go to Boroughbridge every year for work purposes and always make a point of going to the Golden Bite. The fish & chips are fantastic and cooked in that scrummy dark yorkshire batter and the staff are really friendly. I would recommend you wont be disappointed!

A regular stop off of ours when in Boroughbridge, the Golden Bite serves very nice Fish and Chips, whenever we call it always seems to be busy, which is a good statement in itself, the price has gone up recently but it is still good value for money for the quality of food and the staff remain very friendly, what's not to like. if you like your Fish and chips. Worth visiting.

We live in Boroughbridge just round the corner from Golden Bite, this is the 3rd time we have taken them home and they have been cold and ended up in the bin. This due to the cardboard boxes they now put them in, please bring back the polystyrene boxes they were never cold when they used them.

Really fancied fish and chips but hadnt tried the golden bite for a while. Three adults and two hungry children shared two standard and two childrens fish and chips and we couldnt finish them. Now normally with quantity you dont get quality. Not the case here nicest fish and chips for a long long time and if you ask nicely you can have scraps. Lovely

Called on a Sunday afternoon but the restaurant was closed so we decided on a take- away. Lovely fish & chips and huge portions even the children's small meal would have been enough for me. Will defiantly call again excellent food.

We moved from Ripon a year ago, and fish and chips just aren't the same in the south! On a trip back last week, we called at the Golden bite, which in our opinion sold the best fish and chips when we lived there. We weren't disappointed. They were every bit as lovely as they always have been. Good size portions, reasonably priced, - just a shame we have to travel 4 hours if we want any more! For non locals, if you don't want to eat in, then just around the corner (ripon and dishforth roundabout) on the left is a parking area next to the river. Great views, and benches so it's lovely to park up and eat there on a sunny day.

We recently visited the golden bite as we'd heard fantastic things about there food from friends and family, the shop was clean and the staff were very friendly the food was out of this world we had take away but there is also a restaurant attached two it i would definitely go back and would recommend it if your passing threw or visiting friends.

Very nice food and very pleasant staff, My wife and I visit here quite often when we are visiting family in the area, a bonus for us is that it is open on Sunday (4;0pm to 8:0pm) which is when we are normally in the area. There is also a restaurant attached to the take away. Can see no reason why we won't be calling again very soon.

I recently visited boroughbridge with family and stopped off for a pit stop at the golden bite. The staff were very friendly and happy to help. The cleanliness of the shop was second to non which is one of the first things I noticed as I walked in. The food was reasonably priced and the portions were hearty! The fish was exceptional and the chips were to die for. We would definitely pay the golden bite another visit and would recommend if u ever decide to go. We also noticed there was a resteraunt next door and was informed it could be used for private functions and a bring your own drink policy. I think next time we visit we will try it out. Definitely a must :-)

Having eaten from the take away on a number of occasions we recently decided to try the restaurant. It's a smallish place and is accessed from a second door to the main take away premises. The decor is fresh and clean but lacks a nautical or fish based theme. That aside the food is the reason to come to The Golden Bite and it doesn't disappoint. The fish and chips were perfect and the portion size was enormous, certainly value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful and appeared as though they were working in the take away and the restaurant. On the whole we wouldn't hesitate in recommending The Golden Bite as by far the best fish and chips in the area. The Manageress informed us the the restaurant can be hired for private parties and that they have a bring your own alcohol rule so that's something we shall look to do in the future!!
