The Scrap Box in York

Delicious fresh fish. Friendly staff.

It is definitely worth a visit. Very good food

Stopped for chips on my way past at tea time, quick service and great food

Great fish and chips , fish lovely and tasty fried by jason. Totally recommend

Friendly staff and good service with decent food, plenty of parking too. Overall would recommend.

Our local fish & chips. Love it! Always welcoming, don't mind kids, can eat in if you want to with a reliable menu. Exactly what it says on the tin!

Only reason I tried was it said Voted "Top 50 in the UK". It was a sad looking fish and very very oily. Homemade tartar sauce was nice but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Staff was very friendly and kind though.

lovely fish and chips - and not bad coffee (didn't have decaff) was on our way to York and wanted something quick this did not disappoint

Fresh fish and quick polite service

Monday dinner time with coffees ☕️ and 🍵 💯 % highly recommended 👌 👍

Best fish and chips in North Yorkshire

Got my order wrong paid for 4 fish and chips received 3, pathetic honestly.

Excellent stop off point during your journey, freshly cooked fish and chips, tea, and coffee both inside or outside, seating. We normally stop for a break with our dog.

Fish and chips were great. So much better than other local shops we will be back.

Great place, quick service, helpful and friendly staff. Good value for money. Very clean.

Lovely staff, very quick service, very clean building

The fish and chips here are very good, and there's plenty of them, too. I've been twice now, so I could give a honest review. The service is fast, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Don't let the setting put you off ( it's situated in a layby ), because the food is worth the trip. Well worth the effort of going there.

I had the small fish and chips no complaints. The food was excellent 👍

Good fish and chips. Always a friendly welcome.

This is a great place to stop of, fish and chips excellent the place is clean staff are excellent good portions and prices decent

Very kind helpful for our 🐟 and chips 🍟 the service really good 👍 😀 👌

Just really enjoyed our fish and chips cooked fresh, nicest fish and chips we've had for a long while

Love it. Service and food were brilliant. Always a Friday treat.

OH MY LORDY LORD, this was exactly what I needed for a FEAST. The wow factor was top notch as these 3 young lads last night, made this experience OUT OF THIS WORLD. I highly recommend getting your mukkas dirty and getting stuck in to the food. It slayed!!

Called here on way to east coast. Fish melted in your mouth. Friendly staff and gorgeous food

Always great service and beautifully fresh fish 🐟

The very narrow road to the location, you can enter at any time, there is no gate.

We have a very reactive dog in training and they put us away from everyone else.

Wow, wow wow, what an amazing place. The fish and chips are just the best. And huge portion, the service was 100%, nothing was to much trouble. Blink and you would miss it, its in a lay by near Dunnington, super clean. I had a small fish which would be a large in other chippies, my other half had a large fish and chips and I kid you not it would have fed a family of 4. If I could I would give it 10 stars, you must go and try it x

We both had regular haddock and chips, mushy peas and 1 carton of tartar sauce. With 2 cans it came to £27.50. Not cheap but the batter was crisp, fish was fresh and the chips were OK., but I can't find good crispy chips in Y'shire anywhere. We sat in to eat, the interior was clean and modern and reasonably comfortable. Will happily use The Scrap Box again.

Nice fish and chips but way too expensive, 3 fish and chips and two curry's came to £40 nearly. Not worth that, may as well go to a near by pub and have a sit down meal for similar price.

Stopped on way home to grab dinner takeaway was very tasty nice light batter on the fish

The first time we went here the portion sizes were good couldn’t wait to go back and we have being telling people to try out this place went back to day and we were disappointed even tho it was very tasty our regular fish were more like mini fish and it’s not cheap we will give it one more try but if the fish is same size as last time we will not be returning

Stopped on way back from Yorkshire Aircraft Museum. What a gem. Worth every penny.

One of my favourite places to get fish and chips, quality fish cooked in light crispy batter and beef dripping, really good service as always.

Reasonable choice. Good price and excellent food.

Often passed this place and got the chance to have a bite to eat, good value for money, will certainly visit again.

Great fish and chips every time.

A ABSOLUTELY GREAT PLACE TO EAT THERE FOOD IS PERFECT AND A GREAT PORTION

Been a few times when passing to Leeds. Chip butty and curry. Took most of the chips home as there were so many. Curry was fruity, slightly spicy as chip shop curry goes. Atmosphere OK, but biast as can remember building being public toilets.

This has long been my favourite chippy in the area. Still frying in beef dripping as it should be, beautiful fish and chips.

Excellent fish and chips with friendly service. The place is quite far out of the way. If you have a car is definitely worth the visit. The fish is excellent. Really well cooked with a delicious batter. Chips are amazing. Perfect combo of crispy with a nice bit of sogginess to them. Curry sauce was standout. Seating outside on benches was quite novel too, eating by the side of a busy road added to the enjoyment! Highly recommended if you’re able to get there.

Outstanding fish and chips, top marks all round 👍🐟🍟

Food was absolutely amazing went with my girlfriend today and was great love a good chipppppppppppy teeeeeeea

Fantastic fish and chips. Best we have EVER had. Highly recommended. Very friendly staff. 20 out of 10 LOL x

We used to go here regularly but things have got quite bad now. My partner and I got fish and chips yesterday and it was very close to the worst we've ever had. The batter had a strange taste and very bad after taste, the fish was so greasy it made me feel sick and the fish was so over cooked it was more like eating cotton wool. Very disappointing because we live 2mins away so this is our local but things have been gradually getting worse. Time for a new chippy for us!!!

Excellent fish and chips. Pulled into layby thinking it was a place that sold burgers and bacon butties.Inside really nice decor , friendly staff great value food . Very enjoyable.

Best ever fish and chips eaten in the big layby with benches

Stopped here after reading other reviews. Lovely friendly young lady and gentleman serving, super friendly. Recommend the Yorkshire patty fishcake. Ate in, lovely and clean. They have strong forks for take out too. Now I know it's here, will recommend yo others and use again on my way to or from the coast. Sorry, no pics. It's all gone haha.

Great chippy in a surprising location carntfault it staff very helpful call in with grandchildren who love it .

Nicest fish and chips I’ve had in a while.

These are the best fish and chips I've had. Huge portions, 1 potion of chips is more than enough for 2 people. Friendly staff

Fish was absolutely spot on. However, the chips on this occasion were a bit hard and undercooked, although normally really good.

Visited here for a stop off and sat inside for the food. Sausage and chips with gravy sausage was soggy , chips greasy , gravy watery. Was a poor portion for a large and that’s with me asking for more chips! Wouldn’t go back and wouldn’t recommend.

Brilliant fish & chips, was a good lay over aswell for a good nights sleep in my truck. It’s nice you can sit inside and enjoy your food without sitting in your cab, which you’ve just been driving in for 10 hours.

Brilliant fish n’ chips every time. The Scrap box never lets you down been coming here for years. Fantastic! Batter melts in your mouth.

Some of the best fish and chops I have eaten. The staff are always welcoming and efficient.

Great local to work so handy if want a chippy. Plenty of parking Gets busy. Food lovely depends who serves you as sometimes only had a few chips other times loads. Not that cheap

Been a customer since they opened, last night I bought two portions of fish and chips, same as last review, very greasy and fatty and slightly undercooked, only ate the fish after taking the batter off, such a shame from what has been a most excellent fish shop

What a fantastic place to stop. Fish and chips are fantastic!

Beautiful fish and chips..... excellent

Very capable and friendly staff, we need more places like this for respite at this insane time of year, very good decent hard working people, very good fish and chips, nice clean and tidy dining area

Great fish and chips every time

Excellent chippy. Very clean and tidy. Service was excellent. Good prices too.

Great for a quick fish and chips. No veggie option. Otherwise good, staff lovely.

Fresh food, but found it very greasy. Was disappointed that their wasn't a range of fish (menu just said large or small fish - would have preferred cod). The oil made the batter go soft after a while so I couldn't finish my meal. Food is cooked in beef dripping so the food did taste different. Fast service and seating area was clean.

10/10 experience at the Scrap box. I was feeling down so decided to go and get some Haddock and chips, on arrival I saw they had plenty of parking - I went in where I was greeted with the smell of haddock and chips. This was amazing - I went to the till and the server was very pleasant and understood my needs as a customer - Annie I believe she was called I enjoyed the haddock and chips before driving back to York. - the experience was very pleasant and I left full. Would I return, 100%

Beautiful fish and chips. We keep returning, it's very impressive. Staff are lovely particularly Annie.

Staff were very helpful and friendly The cafe area is lovely and very clean The food was really nice definitely the best fish and chips in York Would definitely recommend to everyone

Great place! Amazing food, best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Friendly staff. I would 100% recommend. Can’t wait to go again!

Lovely fish and chips and very friendly staff and service was excellent, also easy parking in lay on the 1079 near Dunnington

Brill fish and chips, staff so wonderful and friendly 10/10, Thankyou so much it is was fishlicious 🐠

Great place! Amazing food, best fish and chips I’ve ever had. Friendly staff. I would 100% recommend. Can’t wait to go again!

Always a good choice for chips.

Holy moly best fish I’ve had in my life and I’m not even joking

Well worth the visit, lovely fish and chips and very pleasant staff.

Great chippy, great staff and always up for a singalong. Thanks guys and girls 😁

What a great little find! Driven past it a few times on the A1079 on the way in to York. Looks like a toilet block from the outside so never really thought much of it, but I was very wrong! Lately they’ve had a sign outside saying they’ve been voted in the Top 50 Fish and Chips in the UK, so I felt it was time to give it a go. Upon entering, was greeted with an extremely clean and tidy yet simple layout of the shop. Counter at the front and seating to the left. The seating area is adorned with bags of potatoes, batter mix and wooden pallets giving it a funky look. The menu is quite simple. It’s basically fish, chips, sausage and accompaniments (peas, curry sauce etc). The small menu does however mean what they do is always fresh and tasty ! On this occasion we settled for the mini fish and chips each. When it came out (see photo) the batter had a lovely crispy finish to it (but not hard) and the chips were perfect too. Crisp but not hard. Tasty but not greasy. Everything cooked to perfection. I fancied a potato scallop (I think you call them potato fritters Up North!). The closest thing they had was a Fish Pattie, which turned out to be quite the revelation! Two layers of sliced potato with a layer of fish in the middle, which was then battered and fried. This was immense and like nothing I’d had before. All in all, excellent food in a simple but homely and clean environment. It’s not somewhere for a romantic date evening, but definitely a “must-stop” for a good lunch or fish and chip supper to eat in or takeaway. Will be back (and in fact, have! And had this fish bites. And they were good too!)

Superb chippy, great friendly staff, I have been here quite a few times and it's always good

Great fish & chip shop but please note THEY DONT DO BREAKFAST ANY MORE! There’s menus on here which suggest they do but they stopped.

Nice fish and chips, crispy batter, no skin, no bones, nice chips too. Clean tidy inside dining area, s/steel cutlery supplied, friendly staff. plenty of parking, recommend

Easy to see why this place is in the top 50 best Fish & Chips in UK..Superb! Was busy but didn't have to wait long & so worth it

Passing customer Chips and Mushy Peas delicious friendly, helpful staff

Wanting some lunch, found this chippy by accident on a visit to York but would go again if in the area. Small seating area inside, very clean. Only had chip butty but freshly made with generous portions. Really nice chips.

Nice place, lovely fish and chips.

Chips and scraps with can of pop for £4.25 - good portion size, but chips were a bit pale and undercooked. Small cafe area inside and a few tables outside by the horribly busy Hull Road. Hope to come back to see what the battered fish is like.

Fresh fish and chips, quick service.

Over all its good quality but I wouldn't put it in top 50 in whole UK. Granted that was in 2017 and 2018 and since then there was pandemic and the supplier could be different. The portion is big and nice and everything was super fresh. Overall I would give it solid 7/10. If you are in the area it is worth stopping by for a quick bite.

Wow fantastic fish and chips! The best we have ever had. Of late we have been sick of being ripped off with the great British meal . Either not haddock as stated and very very thin tasteless and greasy or the large fish is the size of a large pea (slight exaggeration but come on!!) beyond unbelievable prices sometimes .. Not here, great howge sized fish truly meaty and coming off the sides of the trays.just how we love it chunky very tasty and light and not one ounce of grease but not dry either !! Perfect We had been wanting to try here for some time so a trip to the outlet on the way back was a great time to try finally .. Can’t understand with all your awards (well deserved ) that you haven’t won UK fish and chip shop of the year because you deserve to be! The howge fish was £7.95 (regular £6.50 we will try that the next time )with one portion of chips one peas one bottle of coke and the obligatory scraps £21.95. Still an a meal expensive to previous years but in the financial climate etc it can only be worth it if the goods are top quality and trust me these fish and chips are definitely worth it 1000% ..scuse my pic I had started to eat but wanted to show the big flakes of fish and the chips Where lovey to all cooked fresh to order

Had an excellent fish and chip takeaway lunch .

Travelling to Hornsea we always stop for a drink and a fish. Doing it for the first time with our 8 year old granddaughter today and it is a real treat. Lovely fish and nice place to stop for a comfort break.

Consistently tasty fish and chips. Worth the drive to get them (located at a lay-by near Dunnington). Always timely. Always friendly. Great curry and mushy peas, too. Our fav in the area.

The very best fish and chips in the area! Lovely fresh fish and well fried. Easy place for taking away or pulling up in the car but also a great area to eat in.

Popped in for late tea. Really nice battered fish and chips. Had heard good reviews but always driven past, wish I had visited sooner. Despite the late time freshly fried and taken away and eaten at the area at the back.

Great food and a welcome pit stop

Great quality food, cooked very well. Prices are reasonable. The gent frying provided excellent service too.

Called in on Thursday just before 8pm. Friendly fast service and superb haddock and chips, the best I've had for a number of years!

In a word gob smacked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ best fish and chips I’ve had in a long while done in beef dripping, talk about being taken down memory lane, well done guys 👍👍👍

Expensive for what ya get had better food for my money!!

Brilliant chips, coming again to try out the fish. Toilets are immaculate, staff are friendly and efficient. Good price.
