The Tickled Trout in York

Fish & Forest – A Hidden Gem in York Wow—Fish & Forest! My first visit, and I was absolutely not disappointed. In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in York. At first glance, the food appears simple, relying on top-quality, seasonal ingredients. But as you dive deeper into each dish, you realize the incredible complexity behind every bite. The balance of subtle flavors, unexpected bursts of taste, and delicate textures is truly impressive. I started with the crab and rhubarb tart, and I just didn’t want it to end. It was delicate yet packed with evolving flavors that became richer as I ate. Then came the cod—and honestly, it was the best cod I’ve ever had. I have no idea what was in the sauce, but it was absolutely delicious. The staff know their ingredients inside out, and their passion for the food is evident. They were genuinely delighted to see us enjoying our meal, which made the experience even better. The venue itself is simple and unassuming—just like their food, letting quality and execution take center stage. Understated, but pure class. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. Absolutely a little bit of magic in York!

Top draw fish and chips, literally was one of the best ive ever had from york that!!!

Been a while since l had such a well cooked cod and the girl who serves is first class, certainly deserves to have a pay rise, one of York's best chippy's.

Ordered, then called to change the delivery instructions and the gentleman on the other end told me no problem. For the people complaining about the price, where do you get Fish N Chips + Peas for less than £14, I'd like to know. Great food and better service.

Called in to Mr Chippy before heading home to Scarborough.The staff were lovely.We all had chips some with gravy and a battered jumbo sausage.I had chips ,battered jumbo sausage with scraps and curry with a wooden fork and we all ate them leaning on the 'bar' people watching out the window.The chips were definitely some of the best chippy chips I have ever had.Big lov e to the fish frier who is originally from Scarborough.Top scran
