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 Any more in. I gave him a surprised look at his attitude, he just stared through me. Very rude and poor service and product. No thanks never again. Thornton le Dale you need a new chippy.

Order fish and chips plus sausage and chips The only nice thing was the fishSausage 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 rod side cafe im sure chips were frozen product and did not look and taste like proper chip shop chips. Very disappointed

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 fine, with chips, mushy peas and salt and vinegar.Waited around ten minutes and rushed back to our cottage to eat them.Well, the batter was thin, well flavoured and crisp. The fish was creamy and tasty - no skin - the peas were very flavoursome and the chips were really good and not greasy.I would strongly recommend Thornton Dale fisheries, great quality and a price comparable to others by the coast.

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 the seat - right outside - for around fifteen minutes till my food was cooked.Verdict:- very good fish but fairly lackluster chips. By the time we'd eaten up I'd used up all my one hour free parking so sorry to the rest of the businesses in Thornton we had no time to visit you.

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 role. He's very rude and lazy, when asking for peas 'don't have any' and curry sauce 'no we have no sauces' i asked if any haddock ? 'no just cod'. I mean come on 4 hours before closing and you have no peas. no explanation given. I paid him over £12 no please or thank you's. I then went in to collect and said thank you he didn't even speak! The chips had lots of dark burned ones mixed in and the portions were small. Disappointed

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

Had much better. The fish was dry but the chips were perfect so its 50:50. Its the only chippie in the village though so unless you want to travel to Pickering this is it.

Me and my partner went in. There was a queue which we wasn't bothered about. My partners brother-in-law ordered and the lady serving asked for the next customers order, which was us, an old man pushed in and the lady said nothing. Then another man came in and he was served before us too. The only reason we got served, was my partners brother-in-law made a comment saying "have u been served yet?" . The woman took my order in a rude manner and then the service got even slower than it was when we walked in.I will definitely not be going back, and I wouldn't advise any friends or family to go to this chip shop either.

The cod and chips here are as good as the famous ones in Whitby at a fraction of the price, the service was excellent and the staff very friendly, we'll be back.

Was suitably impressed with my cooked to order supper from here, the wait for my chips was well worth it. Tasty and fresh food and friendly service.

My partner and I went to this fish shop on sunday evening to find 4 people waiting infront of us, whom had already ordered their meals. Very quickly our order was taken (3 portions of chips) and we handed over our money. So far so good, but sadly over 20 minutes passed and we ended up requesting our money back as we were left there standing in the que whilst they took more and more orders. What made it worse was watching the pathetic display of humour which looked very much like a 50 year old man flirting with a young girl who only looked about 16, who I must add looked very uncomfortable with his behaviour. We went to eastgate fish shop in pickering who had more customers waiting and we were in and out in just under three minutes.

Coming from the North (Lancashire), however, since relocating to London in 2008. The one thing I truly miss is proper Fish and Chips, Majority of London fish and chips are poor and I mean poor. So I was visiting Yorkshire and decided to try the local 'chippie'. They cooked the fish fresh none of this left in the heat lamp rubbish you get a lot in London. The portions were very generous and could not wait to tuck in. This is what fish and chips should be, moist with a light crisp batter full of flavour. The chips were excellent and not badly priced for what you got. Defo go there again when I'm next up in that part of the world.

Well visited this fish shop on Saturday 23/08/15 the first time in quite a few years and was disappointed as we remembered this as a very good chip shop. The staff were very friendly and the shop was very busy as we would of expected but sadly something as been lost. Our fish wasn't at its best. My partner told me her batter wasn't done through and really just picked at the fish chips weren't to bad to be fair. we had mushy peas which were cold even though they were in a polystyrene cup. We couldn't go back to the shop to make a complaint as we had a distance to walk to our car. Please thought try for yourselves this could of been a one off and as i said it was busy which put some pressure on the team on duty. Needed to give the frier a bit more of a chance with the orders

Freshly cooked cod and chips, from scatch, while I waited. So, how could they get it wrong? The cod looked magnificent, a great piece of fish large, well cooked and well drained and I asked for the chips to be wrapped separately to the fish. The fish was OK but the batter was soggy and almost inedible. I ate the flakes of fish but discarded the batter. However, the chips were an unprecedented disaster. On unwrapping, I was confronted with a gelatinous mass of potato starch. Seriously overcooked and poorly drained of fat, they oozed and immediately said to me "Do not eat!" So I was back in the shop within fifteen minutes, not to ask for my money back but simply to return the chips so the result could be seen by the guys working there. In my opinion, a total disaster, and ruination of my evening meal. The assistant, to give him his due, remained as cool as myself. I hadn't gone back to demand my money back, merely to make a comment. I made my comment and was offered my money back in full. I accepted this but unfortunately I have made up my mind. I will never return to this fish and chip shop. I will go to Pickering instead, where there are good fish and chips to be had. I live in Thornton Dale, so just what do they expect. I won't be giving any recommendations.

I visit here maybe once every couple of months as I pass through Thornton. I've never had a bad meal. All the fish is cooked to order so sometimes there is a wait - but is that really a bad thing? The only criticism I can find is no toilets in the restaurant.

Fantastic food, freshly cooked as you wait. Pity you can't make the restaurant bigger as it is a little small. Every time we visit here we have fish and chips. Never had a bad meal.

We stayed 4 nights in lovely Thornton le Dale, just a few doors from this tiny shop. Twice we got fish and chips there for our dinner, and both times it was fresh, crispy, and a ridiculous bargain for the amount of food provided! Others complaining of the cost should try to purchase similar food in London, where we only found greasy, poor quality fish and chips for twice the cost! This place is a real gift to this town, and locals as well as tourists should be thankful for the hard-working owner and her tasty food! We saw many locals stopping in to eat here, so surely they must appreciate it. Can't say as much for the two pubs that are nearby- both seemed mediocre. Eat here instead, or get take away and sit in the park!

we visited thornton le dale and after wandering around the village and gift shops looked around for somewhere to have coffee that wasn't too expensive and so we found this place it's actually a fish and chip shop but they serve drinks only as well.We all had various drinks I had a hot chocolate it was lovely very hot and tasty. We all said it was very nice and we'd call again.

We went off to beautiful Thornton-Le-Dale one Sunday afternoon and decided to call in for some tea with our 2 children. My young son loves scampi so we asked if we cold have a childs size portion. The adults portion was 16 pieces for £7.95 so I asked if they would do my little boy 8 pieces and put it through at half price, after checking the waitress came back with a no! I could not believe it, what bad customer service, I cannot see what the problem was. We regularly eat out with our children and we have always found places to be very accommodating when it comes to the children. Had it not been 4pm and everywhere else was closing we would have got up and left. My fish and chips came and although the fish was nice and hot the chips were luke warm. The waitress forgot to bring my bread and butter and when I asked for it she practically threw it at me without saying a word! I have never been to a place with such rude staff, I thought the attitude of the young waitress was outrageous and they will ever get another penny from me, no wonder the locals avoid it! No way to run a business if you want to be successful, need a lesson in how to treat customers!

My family and I had take away fish and chips last weekend and they were very tasty. Only had a short wait for lovely fish in a light, crispy batter and well cooked chips, not anemic like some can be! Had been before and was pleased that they were still serving the same good quality. A good chippy tea after a trip to Dalby!

My granddaughter said that she would like some fish fingers and chips for lunch so we decided to give this fish shop a go. It was during the scarecrow festival so Thornton-le-Dale was busy. After about five minutes I was asked to place my order and the order was then placed in a queue. My fish fingers were finally placed in the fryer and a fresh lot of chips placed in the pan ready to serve. A young lady started serving people behind me and by the time my fish fingers were cooked all the chips had gone. I then had to wait until more chips had been cooked. I questioned why this had happened and the lady who was doing the cooking retorted 'can't you see that we are busy'. She then went to check the time I had placed my order and said that I had only had to wait 10 minutes - it was actually nearer 15 mins and she forgot about the 10 mins it also took to place the order. I then told her that I wouldn't be back and she said "I am glad to hear about that". The chips and gravy were lovely but the fish fingers were soggy. It was a pity that this lady had been so rude. My friends and I definitely won't be back.

It’s disappointing that the quality of the food has gone down hill. Incorrect pizza delivered, which they did replace but everyone else had eaten there’s by the time it arrived. The garlic cheese pizza was lacking in cheese in terms of half the pizza base was not covered. I may go back to Speedy Peppers as you do pay a premium for La Unica

It was empty when we went in. Tables nearby had chairs on top of them which doesn’t look great. The stew was very average and had definitely been heated in a microwave, was not fresh. Wouldn’t recommend or go back.
