The Tunny Club in Scarborough

Quite possibly the worst fish and chips ever had gluten free looked like it had been burnt fish was awful complained the guy behind the counter said oh well, he was very rude, partner had normal fish and chips complained also no joy mushy peas as hard as bullets ,a little old lady came in asked for fish and chips without the skin his reply to late order has been took avoid they don't deserve your Money

Lovely, quaint side street gem. Great hospitality and away from the normal hustle and bustle of the lunchtime rush of tourists. Small tables - if there are more than 3 of you) there are bigger tables in the back area of the cafe and courtyard. Prices and portions are very impressive.

a very lovely fish and chip shop which is family friendly and has 5/5 food and great service.

This is the best place I have found in Scarborough can't fault the food or the service will be going back again all food cooked to order so nice and fresh and a very friendly place and dog friendly

Fantastic haddock & chips & a sausage for our cockerpoo Molly - the chap serving today was fab he gave Molly a couple of extra sausages- happy days we’ll certainly be back

Friendly welcome from the gentleman server. Food was cooked to order and was decent enough quality fish and chips. We had take away, however, should we have chosen to stay in the restaurant we would have been able to have our dog with us. Good to see a dog friendly cafe/restaurant in Scarborough.

Our first time eating here today. Lovely fresh fish and light crispy batter. Staying for the night with our daughter, her friend and two dogs. Dogs are more than welcome and they both received a free sausage each as we left. Nice little touch and two happy dogs. Staff so friendly too.

I’m falling in love with Scarborough rather belatedly in my 50s and all I needed was favourite chippy. On a snowy day, my son and I stumbled upon The Tunny Catch and sealed the deal. Beautiful service, wonderful food and a building soaked in history. We could have eaten in but we loved eating our fish and chips in a blizzard. An unforgettable experience.

I have been coming here since I was 2 with my grandmother, so my visits are extremely nostalgic 🥲 the atmosphere, food and service never fail! Curry sauce is beautiful 💯👌🏾😋

Well looking at the big claims outside we though to give it a go ,once inside noticed its a bit old fashioned but not to worry, I ordered large fish and chips and my mate ordered standard fish and chips also cans of pop . Chips looked like yesterday's wormed and the fish looked like it had been cut with a laser Taste of dirty grease avoid avoid

Lovely and reasonably priced... Nice bloke working too really kind to my 2 year old. Thank you

Proper authentic seaside chippy. Can eat in or take away (we ate in) Lovely fresh fish, chips and mushy peas. Perfect lunch.

Best fish and chips in Scarborough, wouldn’t go anywhere else.

We were recommended The Tunny Club for gluten-free fish and chips, and it didn't disappoint. They were freshly made, and not a long wait. Even had gluten-free vinegar!

We chose the Tunny after looking at previous reviews & a dog in tow as well as a young family. They were very accommodating & we had some excellent fish & chips but presented in polystyrene containers (even though we were indoors!!) which was disappointing. This is an old style fish restaurant with lots of character but beware that the seating is a bit cosy but the dog loved the free sausages given by the waiter!

Tried to only order coffee as said it was dog friendly, went to order and told you can't only order drinks you have to buy food aswell. Very rude and arrogant attitude.

Awesome food, friendly staff and cool place with loads of history

I had a fish and chips and you can tell the fish was caught today and the person who was at the counter was so so friendly he gave my dog a free sasage when I asked for tartare sauce he gave a humongous dollop so it was really welcoming the food the atmosphere the evreything was a really enjoyable lunch

Worst fish and chips we have ever had.

Absolutely fantastic! We have been here every time we come to Scarborough over the last 4 years and it's better every time. Eco-conscious paper trays, wooden cutlery. Catered for my coeliac child with no issues at all, absolutely amazing gluten free batter on the fish and even provided a gluten free vinegar for him. We didn't have extra wait time for the gluten free fish or even order ahead. Portion sizes are great and the quality is amazing. The staff member working the orders and serving was great, very helpful, a professional chippy master! Nothing was too much trouble. Will be returning every time we visit Scarborough! I can't wait to go back

Nice food, customer service is rustic. Portions tiny! They did have excellent curry sauce however. Food was fresh and tasty, but for £20 for two meals and 1 drink, we did expect bigger portions. A 'large' chips was more like a cone of chips. Was nice to get out the sun for a bit. Dog friendly. The toilet: No toilet roll, floor filthy and an old school outside toilet! The whole place is very old school which is nice, but the toilet was a shock!

Lovely little place. The food tasted so nice. Made to feel welcome. Even my dog loved it as she got some bonus sausages

We used to love this place and to be fair they still sell the best fish for miles in a batter to die for, yes it's basic and yes food is served in polystyrene containers but it's still good. We were disapointed today with the stealth tax of 10% added to the bill if you eat inside (the food is still served in the same containers) and the cost of a cup of tea, you may as well go into one of the many fish restaurants around and eat in comfort. Others must think the same because you used to have to queue to get in but today it was empty, one to miss now for us.

My favourite Scarborough chippy! Love sitting outside. Food is lovely, and the service is excellent

I was looking forward to my fish finger buttie but sadly when it arrived I was a bit disappointed they were frozen fish fingers 4 of the on a soft bap with nothing else to accompany it no dressing no tartar sauce and quite pricey to 🙁 chips were lukewarm as well

AVOID We visited for dinner during a day out for our daughters birthday, outside seating was a dingy yard with 4 picnic tables crammed in… food allover the floor, bins over flowing causing flies and bees, We were charged near on £60 for 2 regular fish n chips (very small) 2small fish & chips (tiny) 2childrens sausage & chips Served to us in takeaway boxes on picnic benches and charged 10% of our bill to ‘eat in’ DISGRACE!! £1.75 for a pot of burnt dried rock hard mushy peas!! When the small fish and chips arrived it was soooo small I asked what a children’s fish and chips was….. to be told it’s the same size as a small, yet a child’s was £6.95 and a small was £7.95, when I pointed this out and expressed how disgusted I was with what we had been served for near on £60 the waitress agreed with me and shrugged her shoulders!! And if the whole experience wasn’t bad enough iv just checked my credit card statement to notice they’ve actually charged me twice!! So over £100 for absolute rubbish!! BEWARE and GO ELSEWHERE!!

Amazing fish and chips, barely any grease at all, the curry sauce was amazing, dog friendly which was a big plus for us, and not only that the guy behind the counter brought him sausages! 100% recommend, and I don’t usually enjoy fish and chips!

Beautiful fish and chips and the peas are the ones they soke over night there beautiful and my twins and partner loved it we will be back great service

If you're after Gluten free fish and chips and within walking distance of Papa's take the short walk and you're guaranteed to receive them. The batter was crispy and not oily in the slightest although a little bland, chips were a little underdone but still nice unfortunately no gluten free curry sauce but I'll manage without. The staff is lovely, polite and informative. Service was fast, usually you have to wait a little longer for GF. So if you're on the front and want GF fish and chips save the journey to Papa's and come here I did and didn't regret it and more over got what I asked for.

Only a handful of chips which were cold and dry, there was little batter on the sausages and that was very dry too. Curry sauce was watery. 11.27 in total

What a lovely unspoilt place with a great atmosphere. The fella who served us our food was lovely. The decor tells you the history of the place and worth a good look. Absolute gem of a place, we will be back.

Brilliant food gluten free and dog friendly Definitely the place to visit for good food Trip advisor wants more word but can't say any more

Gluten free fish and chips were delicious. Dog friendly and they got a free sausage, manager was very attentive but definitely rushed off his feet . Coeliacs head on down

Brilliant place for good food Dogs allowed and gluten free Definitely the chippy to visit when in town

Went on Saturday 8th July and had what looked like a child's portion of cheesy chip's the chip's were dry and hardly any cheese.

This place was great! We went to Scarborough for the day as a group of friends. We had a craving for proper fish shop, fish and chips but it was raining heavily and we could only find takeaways or places that served fish and chips but weren’t proper fish and chop shop ones. We stumbled across this place as they were advertising they did gluten free which someone needed in our group. It met all our requirements, food was great, fully hit the spot of what we were craving but also allowed us to sit inside in the dry. Cafe is informal, food comes in takeaway trays and you just grab a spare table. The guy running it worked so hard, taking orders, and serving the food, and was going full speed at all times to get everyone’s orders through. When he got to the end of the queue he was straight out sorting the tables and shouted out to everyone as whole, asking if everyone was okay and had all they needed! Would definitely go back!

food was brilliant and the service was absolutely amazing! would definitely recommend and be coming back soon:)

Absolutely over priced and poor quality .Everything was wrong about this restaurant even had burned mushy peas and cheap coffee .

Been today had fish and chips with the family lovely food, went back later to ask if they had a microwave to heat up my baby’s food and he happily did it for us no problem at all, then gave us a couple of drinks free of charge too. The gentleman who served us was really polite and happy lovely man and lovely place!

Lovely to cool off in the courtyard where our dog was served with a bowl of fresh clean water and two sausages (no charge). Our food arrived quickly and freshly cooked I had fish cakes which were great. Even brought a spare container for us to share with the baby. Impressed excellent service. Thank you so much

Before I start I had the Cod, Chips and Curry which were excellent. However for my wife I ordered a Haddock with the skin on, I specifically asked the server to ensure that it was served this way. When the meals arrived the Haddock had no skin on, so my wife went to the counter and complained. She was met with the excuse that 'Granddad was in the kitchen' - so what!? The server looked blank as if we were supposed to accept that, then added that I had not asked her for the skin to be on. Yeah she did it, lied right to our faces,right there blatantly lied, hence the rating. My wife tried the fish then said it wasn't even Haddock, I tried it and it really wasn't what we ordered and paid for. My wife got a refund and went to a better chippie round the corner. The place itself is dingy but I suppose it fits with its historical past. You will get your meal and drinks in takeaway boxes and have to pay a 5% charge to eat inside. The prices charged are cafe prices though so don't expect a cheap meal. There was also no paper in the toilet, which is located outside. Think they could do much better to be honest.

So we have been coming here for years and its still as good now as it was then. The staff (Jason i think his name was) always remembers us and always speaks when we walk in. Due to back issues i sit in the little alcove which is in the blocked up door and he always laughs when i sit down. The food is cooked to order but always fast and hot. I've never had to send anything back or complain neither has my husband. The food is super tasty and i always walk away needing a lay down and a nap (in the best possible way). Only down side is Jason said they were getting rid of my alcove. if this happens i will be heart broken as its become a family joke and is my favorite part of the day. I do wish they would change the chairs as they are unstable and wobble rather a lot not to mention uncomfortable. The booths are better but a little snug to me. Overall fantastic place and even when its full we get take out. We will be back in October so we will see you again then. Hopefully with my alcove still intact. :) #Ljscorner

After ordering 2 fish buttyies one gluten free one arrived with gluten free batter but in a normal bread bun,what is the point of ordering something gluten free then contaminating it with gluten. My wife took the fish butty back to the counter and the response from the server was well you didn’t say you wanted a gluten free bread, there was no apology or an offer of a refund my wife just left the fish butty on the counter and left.Further to my wife was I’ll sue to the person serving at the takeaway giving my wife a gluten free fish in a normal bread bun. My wife has coeliac disease and is allergic to gluten if this was a nut allergy and someone had given somebody nut the could be dead as it is my with will be I’ll now for a few days

With so many fish and chip restaurants to choose from this place was generally disappointing. Wooden cutlery and burnt chips. Also you need to ask if you don't want skin on your fish.

Great fish and chips, including gluten free for one of our party. We were made incredibly welcome, our four-legged friend being treated to a sausage! Despite being run off his feet, the card reader breaking down and a staff shortage the guy running the entire show was an absolute star. Definitely recommend!

Looked at the menu, chose what we wanted, went to order and was told they are k my serving main meals as it’s after 12pm. No where did it say this, so we swiftly left!!

£3 for a portion of chips. £8.50 for a battered sausage and chips, which means £5.50 for a battered sausage. What a joke. Got a portion of chips. Portion size was awful (tiny). Man was very rude in general. Didn't take card. The only respect I have for the place is that they did gluten free chips,other then that it was poor.

Ordered large cod and chips for me, and medium cod and chips for my wife. Smallest cod I've ever had. Not even sure it was cod. Thought the chips were frozen at first. Tasteless, must have been sitting for a while. Most ended in the...

Thought this looked like a nostalgic little place to have our fish and chips at the seaside and we wandered in (4 adults and 1 baby in a pram) . The staff member immediately started hollering that we needed to come in through another door...

Absolutely terrible, chips look like they've been sat there for 2 days and a large haddock for £9.50 was the size of goldfish. Cooking staff sat on the balcony above smoking looked like they needed a good wash, loads of better chippy about just my luck I tried this place!!!!! Oh nearly forgot the curry was like dishwater!!!!

Absolute gem of a find, saw it was dog friendly so it was perfect for us, the fish, chips and curry sauce were fantastic. The guy serving us was so nice he even gave our dog a sausage. Nothing was to much trouble at all. If you want excellent value fish and chips it’s definitely worth a visit. Everything is cooked fresh to order also. Will definitely be visiting again!

Lovely fish and chips nothing was too much trouble for the gentleman that works there

Waited over half an hour for partially cooked chips

A scrag tail end of cod Will go on the sea front next time and eat outside for a proper catch not a full priced mouthful of scrap

Full of charm! This place is full of amazing local history and is tucked off the high street with seating out back too. Really high quality fish and chips with quick service and a smile.

Our favourite fish and chip shop in Scarborough, no nonsense just get your serving in a box and sit and eat, that’s why the price is so competitive

Decent quality fish and chips cooked fresh to order big tick. The only drawback is the table/bench seating are so close together 95% of the works can’t sit comfortably, numerous people come and go because they can’t physically sit down.

Lovely little find for my birthday fish and chips! Chef was friendly, nice and cosy inside and i didn’t have to sell my right arm for it!

Hi, We had fish and chips at the tunny on Sunday the 19th Feb 2023. They were the worsted fish and chips we've ever had, never again. I felt positively ill after, Awful!!

As someone with a gluten intolerance it can be very frustrating to eat out as a family, especially at the seaside when most want fish and chips. This was the only restaurant we found that did gluten free fish and chips (and vinegar) and they...

Friendly and helpful staff, sat and waited while cooked fresh,uses different fryers for GF. Lots of really interesting things to look at whilst waiting. They were worth the wait, the BEST chips I have eaten. My other half said his GF fish and chips were...

Always come here, never busy, friendly staff and fresh cooked fish. Never had a bad meal here, dog friendly too. The folk whinging about not fitting at tables should maybe try more salad n less chips. Great place for fish n chips. Won’t go anywhere...

Dropped into this quaint little place after googling “dog friendly fish and chips” - and what a find! Skin on fish in the lightest batter- cooked to perfection accompanied with a delicious portion of chips. Sausages for the dog were also a bonus! Gentleman who...

Nice and quaint fish was great service was great brought our food to our table he didn't have to will be back soon.

Lovely fish and chips fried in beef dripping. Also gluten free and veg oil fried options. Dine in from takeaway tray at no charge.

Been day tripping to Scarborough for maybe 50 years and never tried The Tunny Club until today. I've been missing out, lovely fish n chips, chips in dripping and crunchy batter on fish with no bones and complimentary tomato ketchup to boot from a not watered down bottle. Nice n clean inside with interesting factual notices on wall,just a quality place to eat. Will definitely visit again.

Tasty fish and chips and the best gluten free fish and chips . Good quality and excellent service from the staff we will definitely return. Would certainly recommend especially for anyone needing gluten free

Hard to know where to start with fish and chip shops in Scarsborough but we stumbled across this place and were so happy we did. It is tiny but full of character and history. The place is of packed with interesting items, pictures and old...

Lovely freshly cooked sausage and chips 😋

I go Scarborough quite a lot and can honestly say I’ve never had fish and chips as good as this place. I used to always go winking willys but will definitely be going here from now on. Portion size was amazing, service was great, prices were very good and reasonable for the amount of food you get - I got sausage and chips from the main menu and I assumed I’d be getting one small sausage but I got 3!! Curry sauce was unreal too. It’s dog friendly and has toilets downstairs - I’d only avoid if you need wheelchair accessibility but if you have a pram and don’t mind taking it down 1/2 stairs to get into the cafe then your fine. Very hidden but a good little gem especially if it’s raining and you don’t want to eat your fish and chips on a bench.

Dog friendly and lovely staff 😊

We stopped here on a very cold Saturday in December. The batter on the fish was incredible - the lightest I’ve ever had. No soggy batter here! I would recommend this place for the food and the unique history as evidenced by the photos and...

Nice place to eat and some nice oddities on display one of which is a photo of John Wayne when he came to Scarborough and items of the wreck the Titanic. Food was nice and good price too £17 for medium fish chips large sausage and chips and 2 drinks was more then enough to feed both lot cheaper than the other places on the sea front well worth a visit if your ever passing by :) 5* will be back again

Very delicious fish and chips and the owner was extremely kind. We also got free extra food for our family dog. Brilliant atmosphere, would definitely reccomend.

Really tasty fish and chips and friendly service from the gentleman, our puppy was welcome and got a sausage as a treat. The man even ran down the road after us after my wife left her handbag...top bloke

Served by Kristen, what a breath of fresh air, so welcoming, he is a credit to the company its a Shame there are not more people like him, he was so friendly but professional,making everybody feel welcome and making our visit a real pleasure, he...

Very disappointed with our choice today. Not great ‘seaside’ chips and expensive for what you are getting! Wouldn’t return

After getting so looked down on with dirty looks and sarcastic comments by every other chip shop for asking if we can get chips cooked in oil not beef dripping we were about to give up... until the tunny club! Gluten free and vegetarian with such friendly staff. Absolutely delicious, they even had gluten free vinegar!

Food expensive for the circumstances in which you eat. Food served in polystyrene packaging with wooden knives and forks. Beverages very expensive.

Best place for fish and chips in Scarborough. Curry sauce makes it a top meal. No frills, great service and wonderful food.

Very warm and welcoming. Lovely fish and chips

Always call in here for fish and chips never fail to satisfy

Day trip to Scarborough & enjoyed such prompt excellent service, & well cooked fish & chips. Not the biggest restaurant in town but has secluded rear yard with outdoor seating for people with dogs. Would recommend & call again.

Very disappointed. We paid £17 for two medium portions of takeaway fish & chips that were equivalent to a childs portion. The fish was mostly batter & the chips were very greasy. Won't be returning.

Nice location just off the Harbour & South Bay. Quaint looking old building with a basic functional courtyard for outside eating. We weren't met by staff and it was a case of put your order in and wait for a shout. Orders came out quickly...

Reasonably priced good food and drinks. Order at counter and collect yourself, plenty of seating, cafe style rather than restaurant, but considering prices in other places very close this is by far the better option.

Been coming here for 10 years. Had fish & chips (peas & curried sauce) coffees. Good quality, freshly cooked, friendly staff and the dog got a sausage as well. It's not fancy (but it is eco friendly - paper carton/wooden knife& fork). Dog friendly. I...

Really good fish and chips Hosted was welcoming even though he was really busy Would give 6 stars if I could

The first bite on that fish wow

Outstanding, great food and people working here are amazing.

The service from Jay was absolutely amazing, the food was spot on and will definitely be coming back.

The best fish and chips I have ever had. So fresh, the chips were perfect! So yummy!

Our experience here was poor. The chips we had were all little bits and seemed as if they had been cooked then warmed up. And the fish well what can I say? There was more batter than fish the thin layer of fish was really...

The service was exceptional - complimentary food for the dog, put our order through and started cooking to order even though I didn’t have cash. I went and got cash during the cooking process. Food was lovely, curry sauce very good - even tipped at the end for the great customer service would definitely return

Looking for somewhere to have a quick drink and possible meal. Walked in to a completely empty cafe which was off putting to begin with, man behind the counter didn’t acknowledge us in anyway. Couldn’t sit at the booths as they were so small and...

Friendly staff that were knowledgeable/knew where to check re:dairy allergy. Only a few minutes wait for food. Probably the best fish and chips we’ve ever had…and the mushy peas were fabulous!

We ate in the restaurant next to the Tunny Club and the food comes from the Tunny. Really friendly and dog friendly restaurant and it was nice to eat indoors given the food stealing seagulls outside! Fish and chips were very tasty, husband enjoyed the...

beautiful fish and chips, the service is impeccable, not a single complaint, 100% would defo recommend

Totally amazing! We walked the whole beach strip looking for gluten free fish and chips, this was the ONLY one.(Although the Princess their sister restaurant serves it too). It was well worth the wait, I had fish and chips, which was truly delicious. Cooked to...
