Thornton Dale Fisheries in Ryedale

This establishment obviously does not like tourists, i expereinced a different level of treatment and dialouge than was given to a local. The server was not helpful, responding in very little responses. The fish and chips were poor, not cooked enough - i hate sloppy batter even though i requested well done to be cooked. A poor experience and WILL not use again or recomend. People that work in jobs that serve customers really damage the business if they are not happy. This guy was not happy and resentful.

Lovely freshly cooked haddock for the grown ups and a kids fish bites meal for my little granddaughter. Great to see Nick is back! He fries a great piece of fish and is always really nice and friendly 😊

So gutted as this is our local but we had family visit and they wouldn’t even eat the fish and chips it was swimming in grease and not cooked well. The lady serving was pretty unfriendly and we felt like we were being a pain by putting in an order and giving her business. Tried to make conversation but it was clear she didn’t want to be there and hates her job. She was also refusing to answer the phone 30 mins before closing complaining people keep ordering food. We have been trying to support this little shop for a while but my friends have firmly said they won’t be going there anymore such a shame.

After a long period of not using this place for take-away Fish & Chips, I returned to purchase two take-away portions of Haddock & Chips. The fish was excellent, generous size, first-class crispy batter. As to the chips, my usual complaint about take-away 'Chippies' is that they serve soggy chips, which I hate. But on this occasion our chips were NOT soggy. All in all, pleasant service, and a good take-away. I will return.

Popped into Thornton-le-Dale fisheries today around 1230 ish. No-one at the counter but a ring of the bell & someone was straight out. Friendly enough & not bad portion sizes but the chips were horrendous. They were brown! I don't know if that means they'd been sat for a while or if it was old oil but they were very poor, definitely the worst we've had there. Unfortunately we'd already left with them before we realised otherwise they'd have been returned. Really disappointing & definitely not worth the £2.75 a portion that we paid. Quite baffling really that they'd serve them in that state!

great to see Dave back this shop would be lost without him batter was perfect chips golden just a shame he wants to leave :(

We couldn't find anywhere to eat indoors in Thornton-le-Dale on Sunday evening then spotted this tiny chip shop. What a find! I am coeliac and asked for fish without batter. No problem, said the server, I'll poach it for you. Not only that but he also cooked chips in a separate pan for me. The rest of our order was cooked to perfection; very impressive as the guy was working alone and our order wasn't straightforward.

Called in for cod and chips on the way home from a day out, cod was lovely, cooked fresh and to perfection, it was for my dad who loves his fish n chips and he gave them 10/10! Chips were very tasty too and plenty of them! New owner who was very friendly , hope you do very well , will be back when in the area .

Highly recommend these fish taco’s , not only do they look good, but the taste is outstanding , and exceptionally good value, my new favourite food.

Just stopped off at this wonderful little chip shop and they do a fish taco on there specials menu and it is out of this world and a must try for every one who loves there chippy 10 10

Great tasting fish and chips. Best mini fish and chips in N Yorkshire. Chap was new to the trade but certainly made the right impression Well done

Fresh fish, friendly fellas and a lovely spicy mayo. Didn’t try the fish tacos but we’ll be back for them next time. 100 characters :)

Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time. Fish batter crisp and light with lovely moist fish snd chips crispy outside and soft inside. I had the half portion mini fish and chips. Loads. Couldn’t have managed a full portion.

Very nice fish and chips but very slow service. A man takes the order using a touch screen with he seems not to be familiar with, the order is then passed to a young lad to cook it, once it's cooked the man then wraps it and hands it over but only then does he take an order from the next customer. Why he doesn't take the next order until the current customer walks out the door is a mystery. With a more efficient system, the one used by every other take-away in the country, turnover would at least treble as repeat tourist customers must be few and far between with the current one.

Popped in, shop wasn't too busy, maybe 3 customers waiting. Bloke behind the counter didn't acknowledge me for about 5 minutes, and just continued to serve food. 15 minutes later I left because he still hadn't taken my order. As someone who's worked in food and retail I know the trick is to take orders as soon as customers arrive. It takes seconds to take an order and payment, then you can just concentrate on getting the food ready - just like the much busier shop I went to in Pickering did shortly afterwards.

waiting a while which i really don't mind if food is worth it. the young lad though. blooming heck, he needs a training course on how to deal with customers. I know he's only young but he was absolutely terrible . not once asked if would like salt and vinegar. he has no customer skills whatsoever. he gave me a sausage which wasn't battered so I reminded him I asked for battered. then have me a tiny battered sausage. but I thought I can't even be bothered to complain. God help the lad if there was emergency. food was nice but customer service goes such a long way

Can't fault the food or the service. Nick is always very friendly and lovely to our little 3 year old and goes above and beyond to make it a weekly visit she always looks forward to. Well done, Nick! Keep up the good work 😊

Was a little worried about visit after reading reviews, it was fine. Fish and chips were cooked fresh. Portions were large and fish was lovely. No complaints at all. I would definitely recommend.

Went today 3rd Sept 2022 just after 8pm because the chippy I like in Pickering was closed. Cod was ok but batter a bit thin and soggy underneath ,also it must have been alive when they wrapped it as it ate all the chips

Was busy as it was Bank Holiday weekend, But the meals were cooked to order. Lovely fish n chips, one of best.

I waited 15 minutes for 2 fish n chips… they were SLICES of fish, not a full size fish at all and the chips were cooked at least twice to be that hard.. for the only one in the area I suppose they don’t have...

On reflection, a chippy open on a Sunday in the afternoon should be absolutely rammed with people especially given the location (right next to Dalby Forest Mountain Bike Centre). The fact that there were just a handful of people in should have rung the bells....

Very small portion compared to the price. Staff member was constant pulling his trousers up and wiping his forehead and didn’t wash his hands before touching food. We didn’t even eat what we bought.

Went into this fish shop last Thursday 9th June - ordered my fish and chips waited for about 1/4 of an hour for cooking. When I went onto the park opposite to eat them realised that the batter was well cooked but the fish was...

Thought this would be an easy meal ordered 2 mini fish and chips, the fish was cooked whilst I waited but the batter was still soft (undercooked) and the chips were pretty much brown (heat ups?) £12 and most of it ended up in the...

Arrived to purchase food. Girl took the order, could t really be bothered. Told "wait outside" no please or politeness. Chips were scrap ends dispute girl asking the guy if there were enough chips. His response to her was rude.."yes that's why I didn't put...

Me and my partner had cod and chips from here on Saturday night, they were the best fish and chips we have had for a long time, all orders are cooked to order but well worth the wait

We returned here as staying in the area and again had lovely fish, chips and peas with friendly service. Very clean premises and continues to maintain social distancing rules. We will be back!

Order fish and chips plus sausage and chips The only nice thing was the fish Sausage was fatty and awful taste but the chips were the worst I have ever tasted. Very brown and again horrible. I liken the chips to something you get from...

To be honest we were a bit influenced by the reviews, but we were in Thornton le Dale and felt like fish and chips. The gentleman in the shop was polite and took our order, no haddock as would be our preference, but cod sounded...

Tuesday lunchtime in August and the rest of the town is buzzing. Just two people waiting outside the chippy so we joined the queue. Some twenty eight minutes later I was allowed in to place an order - come back in ten minutes! Sat on...

Delicious fish and chips - ‘lite bite’ is more than enough! ......and they’re so kind! ( man and woman - mobile f and chips).

Popped in for a quick lunch & it was anything but! Waited ages as there was no food ready! Miserable Lad serving, wow what an attitude! Very Grumpy & obviously annoyed at having to fry some food, small portions, £12.50 wasted, plate was covered in...

Arrived at 4pm the overweight youngish lad behind the counter was stood with his back to me and turned like he couldn't be bothered to serve me and literally had the attitude of 'computer says no' he should not be working in a customer facing...

Wasted 15 mins of my lunch break before the guy actually decided to even come to the counter and serve us. Tried ringing the phone and he didn’t answer it, eventually after a 15 minute wait he appeared and didn’t have any food at all...

Holidaymakers in village last week Lovely fresh haddock (chips and mushy peas) carry out enjoyed by both of us.

We've been having our Fish n Chip Fridays over the past two months of lockdown and they have been fabulous! With Steve & Angela at the helm the quality of the food and wonderful service has been outstanding. Thank you both for doing such a great job and providing such a warm welcome

All I can do is appogise for the staffs behaviour and language it is totally unacceptable. I have since been asked by Eric to help manage the shop for him. I used to have the shop before Eric and iam committed to make the shop the best in the area so please give us another try the opening times are increasing all the time and hopefully will soon get back to something like normal. At the moment in time we are open Friday tea time all day Saturday and Sunday. Regards Steve Tipping. 11/06/20.

We visited tonight approx 5.15pm (08-03-20) the man serving was so rude, and complained to another customer he’s been run of his feet- then proceeds to say “I’ve been rushed off my feet I finish in 45mins and I’ve got F**king loads left to do!” which is appalling and he made it very clear he wasn’t happy about us entering as it gave him more work to do. Then when our order was ready we tried to add chip spice to our chips infront of him, when none came out he responded “that’s empty and it can wait till tomorrow so you can’t have any” Then when we left with our food and opened our curry sauce- it was more like wallpaper paste, it was so thick with huge curdled lumps in, it would barely come out of the tub. It tasted vile so obviously either not prepared correctly with right amount of liquid or been curdled from too long cooking.It’s a shame as our last visit when the shop was under the previous owners the curry sauce was a hit and we loved it. So we were really looking forward to that.The chips were really greasy and lots of burnt overcooked bits of chip that had clearly been in the fryer most of the evening. Sadly won’t be back again. This experience was terrible. Which is a shame as it’s an ideal location and has so much potential to be a great business.

Service was surly and terrible. Would NOT go there again. All the man wanted to do was close the shop. According to website closing time was 7-30, we were there at 7-15. Customer after us was told only chips available.

I was fortunate enough to visit York a couple of months ago and found a mobile fish & chip van that sold amazing food, I have since used it 3 times, I found out that they have the chip pie at Thornton le Dale a few miles from my home in Malton, I have since made it my local fish & chip shop even though it means a 16 mile round trip, visiting 2 or 3 times a week, there food is amazing, the best batter I have tasted for a long while, I have Worked in the trade and know what a good fish & chip shop should be turning out, they do a small one of each which is ideal for a pensioner and a good portion at a very good price, I tried a haddock last week for a change and it was superb, and to mention there mushy peas, proper ones not processed tasting rubbish, all in all a brilliant experience, take no notice of some of the bad reviews on here, that’s all changed with the new manager who is very obliging to give you what you want, give them a visit you won’t be disappointed.

We called in today for a fish and chip lunch. I have been reading through some of these so called reviews, and quite frankly, don t believe a word of some of them. The food from this cafe is always absolutely first class, beautiful crispy chips, gorgeous light golden battered fish, and lovely mushy peas. We do live fairly near so eat here on an reasonably regular basis, and can honestly say we have never had any complaints.

Great little chippie. Everything was cooked from fresh in just a few minutes. The cod in particular was delicious, really fresh and succulent. The chips were tasty and crispy. The scampi looked lovely and was devoured too quickly for me to taste it. Onion rings were tasty too. Had a nice chat with the guy serving and that helped pass the time whilst reassuring me what a treasure this place is. We often stay on a nearby campsite and having fish n chips on our final evening is something we look forward to.

Popped in to Thornton Dale chippy in the week got fish and chips for my tea they were brilliant thankyou. Also good luck to the new manager and his partner.

Lovely meal. Fish really fresh & batter really crisp. Beautiful - most enjoyable. Would recommend and go back. Meal is also available as a take away.

Loved my scampi chips and peas. Freshly cooked and very tasty. Served by a very pleasant staff in a very clean cafe.

My partner and I had the "Over 60's" meal deal which we found was good value. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Absolutely disgusting. First chip that was put in my mouth coated my entire mouth with the taste of dirty grease. My batter on my fish compelty stuck to the chips.Other family members tried to eat their food but couldn't. Upset stomach for the rest of the evening.

Came here as going to see car museum and stopped for food. ABSOLUTELY POOR HYGENE

The fish and chips were good, however the server was rude and unwelcoming. Would not return whilst the server is on duty.

If you have the chance please get fish and chips here, it is amazing.

I have ordered from this van (which has tricky opening hours) three times. The fish and chips, freshly cooked, are delicious. However, the three different females (?) who have served me have been SO rude and, dare I say, ignorant - you are made to feel that you are interrupting their thoughts and taking their precious time by ordering food!?!

I am deeply disappointed by the soggy chips. The fish was rock hard and was a struggle to get through the batter. what a lovely place Thornton dale is but such a shame that this poor fish and chip shop is here.

Nobody waiting so ordered 1 fish and fish chips paid by card looked at Bill charged me £5,75for fish not even large question it well it's fresh I replied wants to be any thought I'd wait.after 10mins couple came in they had paid and waited outside for 20pmins,then lady said it's gonna be another 15mins for fish.I requested refund and so did couple.was Easter Mon so would have thought be more organised,went up road to Pickering shop ful waited 5mins beau2fish and chips and lot cheaper,and who followed me I'm yep the couple from this chippy they sad never go again not me too.

We called 2 weeks ago and sat inside for 10 minutes and didn't get served so went elsewhere. Went this evening and the young man who table served us was very polite and helpful but the fish was disgusting;wet and slimy we left most of it. When asked if everything was food I was honest and he just said he would pass it on.

Called in to try this out as we were staying just around the corner, unfortunately it was disappointing and we did not call again.

A little bit amateur...food was good but the organisation of the queue the orders and serving was very poor.. I just got the impresssion they wanted to throw out the food.

Absolutely delicious Haddock and chips, I'm a bit of a fish and chip aholic and can honestly say this must be in the top 5 chippies in Yorkshire it's all cooked fresh while you wait like it should be (well worth the wait) and it's all good from the chips to the fish and the batter, a must if you're in the area.

2 Small Indoor Seating Areas,Front Of Shop With a Window Which Is Good, But Back Of Shop In A Dark Windowless Room Was Like A Prison Cell. Price Was Ok, Staff Polite, But Service Very Slow, Took 25 Minutes & Nobody Was In Front Of Us!! So Felt Sorry For Those Waiting Behind! We Called When The Establishment Had Just Opened For Lunch,However Staff Member Was Wearing A Very Grubby T Shirt,Which made Us Ponder About The Overall Hygiene, Also Tipped Half The Chips Onto The Table When Putting The Plates Down,Just Said Sorry & Walked Away. Tasted Ok Though.

Why does this fish and chip shop think that chips should be part cooked put in a frier to cool, then re cooked when customers come in. I witnessed this on my visit. The chips are then usually too hard to eat. I think that customers should at least be told that this is the case so that they can choose a fish shop where proper chips(not re cooked) can be served. This is becoming a common practice in many fish shops and totally dishonest to customers who expect fresh cooked chips.

Getting take away for family, shocked to see very small portions for large prices. Greasy chips not cooked in middle. Slow service same person taking orders, cooking and serving. Worst chippy have been to in a long time and will not return and advice people to stay away.

Did not want a lot to eat. So got pensioners special only 5.95.didnt look a lot to eat but I'm full. Cheap for money. Nice chips. Bit oily though. Slowish service.

I always say Thornton Le Dale is lucky to have this chippy as most chippies these days are rubbish but I have never had a bad fish n chips from here, I love sitting in and having the bread and butter fish n chips and a drink, very reasonable prices, nice friendly staff, nice clean place and I always call in as I can't resist it.

We've only recently discovered the mobile fish and chip van service - Tuesday evenings in Poppleton, but very pleased we have. Lovely fresh fish and chips and other options all cooked to order. Yes, it's not served in seconds, but it's well worth being a little patient, as everything is served beautifully hot and at very reasonable prices. A must visit if you're local.

Average food with a small menu, but very very slow service.... it took my husband and dad about 30mins to be served with only a small queue. I would look elsewhere for fast food

Called in here last Thursday(7th September) while in Thornton-Le-Dale.The lady serving was pretty pleasant,though not the quickest.I had battered sausage and chips and my friend had chips and mushy peas,all from the takeaway.

In an ideal location in the village but not the most inviting of places. The takeaway was quite grubby and had flies everywhere! I would have to be very hungry to consider another visit!

A fab little chippy right in the centre of the village .food cooked to order reasonably priced and very popular with locals as well as visitors. You can even eat inside if weather a bit on the wet side .

I never normally write reviews but felt compelled to today. Bank holuday sunday called at thornton le dale on way home from lovely day out with my husband and 2 children decided to call and get a bag of chips each. No queue so went in a lady said you had better order ive been here 20 minutes waiting for 1 small sausage and chips apparently you have to pre order so i asked the man serving to put 4 bags of chips in. Eventually people in front of me were served got to me and they had ran out of chips again. He was taking orders from people along with payment. I asked politely where my four chips were as it had been over 20 minutes he said very sharply cooking and took more orders i was served next n bought tomato ketchup n two drinks. I asked for 4 forks please n he pointed at the wooden ones i replied could i have the plastic ones you gave the lady in front please as two of the chips had curry on. No he said rudely weve ran out i reolied that this was not true as he had a lot in his hand when he gave the lady in front of me them. He just replied very smugly we have n embarrassed me. I politely said to him i hope you have heard of trip advisor!! The chips were ok but the 2 curry portions were very powdery. Would not go back as service shocking

As a Southener on holiday and usually a Cod eater i was converted to Haddock, due to the absolutely wonderful fish served at this take away, the chips were crispy and tasted as good as i have ever had.

So planned to meet my family near the chippy , not from here , so presumed this was correct one , only one in the village. Probably why the woman thinks she can get away with her low grade business service. I asked whilst she was frying if there was a cafe next door ! The glare , of how dare you interrupt me I'm frying , well I'm sorry I have a 2 year old and he's going wee on your floor ! And I also did want to eat in there . She grunted next door .. upon inspection my family weren't in there , they too had opted not to bother. I then went back in the takeaway and asked if they took card over £5.00 . Clear concise answer "NO" , no helpful tourist information of where the nearest cash machine was . I must point out she was not busy and was of an age to be able think outside of the box. I did not eat , I was not giving her my money I ate in a lovely cafe down the road with wonderful gardens and happy helpful staff.

Joined a queue of 7, some of whom were ordering a number of portions, but had to wait 25 minutes...

Hemos comenzado venir aquí regularmente ya que la calidad es alta. Vivimos en Bridlington y tienen una amplia variedad de platos de pescado y chip para nosotros tiendas, así que venir aquí es una declaración. El pescado y las patatas fritas son cocinados a la orden, por lo que a veces puede soportar una espera. Sin embargo, este no es un problema para mí ya que significa cada comida es caliente y fresco. El ambiente es un poco extraño y el niño que sirve es un poco incómodas, pero aparte de eso, el mejor "fish and chips" alrededor.

Una comida muy agradable, buena calidad, pescado y patatas fritas, en vivo en el pueblo, sin duda visitará de nuevo,

We called here on a Friday night after having a drink at The Buck in Thornton-le-Dale. Spotlessly clean little traditional chip shop with also an adjoining dining room next door.The fish (haddock) was fantastic and I too would go as far to say they are the best fish and chips I have had.Friendly and polite staff and good value.Thanks - we will be back!

Fussy family but this was lovely fresh food aboutlutly gorgoes fresh cooked rather than stood food lovely will visit more often excellent x

Warm welcome, nice atmosphere. Portions were massive! Family friendly, staff were very tolerant of my two small children! Lovely ales tooThanks again

After reading numerous reviews, it seems a little Jeckyll and Hyde as to whether the Fish and Chips are excellent or not so nice. We thought we would give this place a crack of the whip. However, Friday evening we waited over an hour to order and get our Fish and Chips for 4, the guy frying in such a bad mood the chip scoop clattered on the floor after repeatedly bashing the edge of the fryer with it. Fish portion was very small, batter soggy and not well drained, not good value for money at all and the chips had a strange texture. Better chippies elsewhere.

Would not recommend very greasy fish and chips they come wrapped in a tray the chips had stuck to the soggy batter the peas were very bland the scraps looked like they had been sat there since they opened. Would not go back

Best fish & chips I've ever tasted !! Would definately recommend a visist to this chipshop. It can be used as a take-away or you can eat in.

Good place to stop after a busy day in Dalby. Usually cooked to order so nice and hot. You can eat in the little cafe or sit under the trees in the middle of the village.

Decided on a sit down fish and chips so went inside, very small cafe with about 6 tables and open doorway to kitchen. The man who took our order was very untidy in paint splattered clothes. Placed order only to be asked if we wanted everything listed on menu for each dish. Seemed odd. Food arrived and immeditately we had to send back the gravy as it was stone cold. When that was replaced we had to ask for missing bread and butter. Each time it felt like too much trouble. I suspect he was running the cafe and takeaway single handed. Food, once correct, was actually quite nice. If I were to go again I would just get takeout.

Fish and chips were great no skin on the fish . Would really recommend . We didn't eat in their restaurant but the take away was excellent

Oh my goodness what a wait! Wish we hadn't , although the food was ok, the wait was far too long! I stood in the queue which was out of the door and asked if we needed to order on arrival chicken bites. The man behind the counter informed me that everything was to order and I should mind the queue and wait! Why on earth they wait until you order and not take or make in advance I have no idea? there were only 4 people in the seated area of the restaurant. The lady in front of us left as she had waited 35 minutes and still wasn't next in line to be served. In the end we just had chips as it was too long to wait for anything else, and they were fairly tasteless. Never again!

After travelling up to family in the next village and this being their nearest fish and chip shop we decided Friday night to have a takeaway.Whilst i appreciate it is Bank Holiday weekend i have never had to wait so long for food to be cooked and served, 45 minutes will not win you awards. One of our party had pizza from next door and had to eat theirs whilst we still stood in the que so our first meal together was spoilt.One person had chicken burger and on opening once home was horrified to find the most unappealing burger, McDonalds do a better one. Portion sizes were also very small. Very disappointed and wont bother again.

Really good fish & chip shop. Tried both cod and haddock on separate occasions. Couldn't fault it. Open every day, just order and it will be freshly cooked.

It is not often that I feel the need to leave a review on trip advisor. However tonight my experience was most definitely awful.I called in for takeaway fish and chips which was over half an hour. The combination of the fryer and the server was so slow that if they went any slower they would definitely stop!The complete lack of system and teamwork between the two of them was painful to watch. I questioned it after 25 minutes and was told that the cafe part was extremely busy. However, there were only four people in the cafe!I was also slightly worried at the hygiene given that the server had so much midriff skin on display and I watched the fryer come back to the range doing up his flies! The server was wearing a plastic glove to handle cash where all the fingers had worn through!And then when the fish and chips eventually arrived it was almost cold having been in the warmer for so long! Overall, extreme disappointment. I do hope that this was a one off and that someone from the shop reads this, not for a response, but please take some action. You will earn much more money from your business if you can make improvements.

We had our order taken for £28 worth if food at your mobile shop on woldsway campsite. They ran out of chips as didnt bring enough .So had to have chips refund, fryer was telling server to be more tight with chip portions she responded with she cant give any less. It took 1hr 20 min to get food from arrival at unit. We had a plastic hook from there van in with our food. 2x large gravys didnt have lids on in bag so you can guess what happened to that. The portions was small and not nice. avoid chip shop van. . Not happy. Other customers got fish bites instead of chicken nuggets not great service. I feel ripped off

Fish chips and peas ...fresh tasty and scrummy ....laden with batter bits if you like them!!!! Eaten on a nice evening in the little town square ...and right next to the town stocks!Well worth a trip and just down the road from the chocolate box cottage! Cheap as chips!!

the chip Butty I had was gigantic. It was that big I could hardly get my mouth around it. Nice chips in a bun.

Originally planned a takeaway but realised they had restaurant area so decided to sit in. Tried the back room (mind your head!) but a bit dark so came back to front room. This is next to the fryer so was pretty warm.Good range to choose from and tasty. Only moan; the waitress forgot 1 order so 1 person waited a while.Decent price too.

Traditional chippy in this gorgeous village. Friendly service. Great price curry sauce on point. Just brilliant!! Would definitely come here again.

We popped into Thornton le Dale just to go to this chippy as my mum used to go there years ago, the fish and chips we had was delicious, well cooked, light crispy batter, plenty of chips, and we got plenty of bread and butter with our meals, Way better than any fish and chips I've had in Whitby, well worth a visit

We are up at the cottage in rosedale abbey and decided to do our normal visit. We go every time we are up, very good fish and chip and are highly recommended. Service was quick and food cooked freshly. Thanks

Last couple of visits for take-away have resulted in perfectly cooked cod but barely warm, soggy chips. When asked if the chips were freshly cooked because the last ones weren't hot the server frowned, shrugged and stated that the chip keeper (or whatever it's called) was "sizzling". Think I'll just go with the fish next time and get my chips from Pizzaland next door.

It takes time to become a master fryer. Things can't be rushed,fat should have time to drain away. Not here though. Insipid batter,and over cook chips. Is it really that difficult guys?. Such a shame really. Please make sure your wrapped ups are not dripping in their paper please.

Superb fish and chips with the lightest batter imaginable. All fried to order with service normally excellent. Would drive miles for this fish and chip shop although don't need to since I live in the village.

Great quality fish'n chips,all that's missing is the serving in original news papers like in the olden days! A must forreal fish'n chippers

We called in to this little fish and chip shop while passing through Thornton Le Dale last Sunday (Mothers day) And must say it was busy but boy it was worth the wait the young girl Rommy or something i believe he called her serving us was very polite and the older man the fryer Wayne i think his name was was so helpful and understanding he kept a very cool head and explained that there would be a little wait and kept every one in the shop well informed of any possible wait they seemed so professional working together it was so nice to see such a young girl working so well under pressure and getting lots of help and support from her colleague.I also work in the public eye and know how hard it can be but credit to the owners for finding what seems a great addition to the team we have called in this chip shop on a few occasions and never seen this guy but what a great find well done and the fish and chips we some of the best we have had and will be back for more and talking to others they seem to agree that the fish and especially the chips have improved.I am not saying they were bad as like i said have called a few time to eat there and enjoyed them every time but just had to comment how nice they were and looked so well done to the owners you have what is looking a great team so keep up the good work and we are looking forward to our return visit

I stopped in Thornton-le-dale after a day of mountain biking in Dalby with a group of guys to get some food! I ended up with one of the tastiest verge burgers i've had from anywhere! Nice work!
