Trenchers in Scarborough

Absolutely fabulous, amazing food, if you're a salad lover I'll bet you'll never ever have experienced anything like the offering there! As for the fish and chips, just the best ever, it's worth a visit to Whitby just to eat at Trenchers!

Really good fish and chips here, I would recommend here if visiting whitby for sure. Quite expensive for fish and chips though but you are by the seaside

Excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening

Best fish and chips I've had in a long time. Pricey but the fish melted in your mouth .

Fabulous menu , fresh fish and great service, had the crab sandwich which was excellent.

Amazing food friendly staff we will be back

We went for an impromptu dinner on a Thursday night. Parking was free after 6pm and the town was quiet. Food and service, both good. Had small cod and chips with dandelion & burdock. Fentimans of course.

Fantastic service food was delicious had the fishcakes absolutely amazing highly recommend

Would be my go to place for fish and chips.

Lovely food and a very pleasant atmosphere.

Visited on 07.03. Took my mam here on a day trip to Whitby. Have been here a couple of times before and loved it so decided to introduce it to my mam who had never been (she's loves Fisherman's Wife). And it didn't disappoint. My mam and I had a small cod and chips, which wasn't small at all! More like a regular. The cod tasted fresh and the chips were delicious. My partner had the battered prawns and fish bites; he said the prawns were okay but the fish was delicious and when we go again, he'd just get the fish. Service was really good. The staff were friendly and attentive but not overly in your face. Would absolutely recommend.

Best fish and chips in whitby, won't go anywhere else.

I had a regular haddock chips and mushy peas. When it came I thought the portion size for the chips was a little sparce but infact it was just right without feeling stuffed and waddling away. The chips were good, the peas were good but the fish was excellent, the batter was so good and the fish flakey without being wet. Personal choice but I think Trenchers just wins it over the magpie, but only just. Both very good

Fish and chips are great. The staff are friendly and quick service.

I am Coeliac and need the reassurance this marvellous restaurant gives. Gluten Free options were lovely especially the chowder. Would heartily recommend to anyone.

Great fish, perfectly cooked, expertly served!

Good food. Good staff. Lovely beer.

We hadn’t been to Whitby for over 20 years. Decided to spend the day and have the renowned Whitby fish and chips. Reviews stated these were the best in the town. We were not disappointed. After a few minutes wait to be seated ( busy). Shown to a large booth for the four of us. Staff were lovely, very helpful and polite. Food arrived within 10 mins and was excellent. My wife ordered a regular fish which seemed a decent size to us. Part way through another fish was delivered to table as waitress thought my wife’s was to small. Needless to say we all left stuffed. Excellent food and service. 👍

Sadly this one star comes not from the fish and chips but the bull dust that was told to us to explain my warm pint of IPA beer was in fact correct. Ie a pale ale apparently is chilled at a warmer temperature than a dark ale. I beg to differ, and so does Google. When the bill was bought to us, and we sat our credit card next to the warm untouched beer which we had previously questioned, no acknowledgment was made at all even though they knew we were not happy.

We were recommend by friends and we will go back next time well worth a visit

When in Whitby a visit to Trenchers is a must !

Best fish and chips and the salad is amazing sat in the new bit today it was lovely light and cool

excellent food, great valve didn't suffer from indigestion

Absolutely lovely. Recommend to anyone. And no need to book..

Best Fish & Chips ever. Tartar sauce fantastic, chips light and fluffy. Cod with crispy batter to die for. Had small portion which was more than enough for me.

Haddock was fantastic, massive fish with a great bit of actual fish in and not just pumped up by the batter. Curry Sauce, Tartar Sauce, Mushy Peas etc all fantastic! Scampi to start was delightful, and the staff were so friendly! Can't recommend this place enough! Great meal by the seaside!

Two lovely meals on successive nights. The cod was creamy, sweet, succulent, the haddock denser, more fishy, the halibut (lightly floured rather than battered) gorgeous. The sorbet was a great way to end the meal.The waiting staff are attentive, charming and friendly and the service prompt. A great atmosphere, very comfortable booths and a very quaffable chardonnay.

Amazing fish and chips. Amazing service. Highly recommend 👌

If you like a sit down chippy then you’ll love Trenchers… And otherwise they do takeaway as well. Centrally located in a prime spot. Clean and bright plus great service with a smile. The fish was excellent; the batter light and delicious. Gravy and curry sauce were a bonus. Superb supper!

Best halibut ever. Not to mention the tasty pot of mushy peas and ample portion of super chunky chips. What a treat. Great atmosphere, super staff. Went with 3 pals. One needs gluten free… no problem!

By a milestone, quite possibly the best fish and chips ever recorded in human history. Who knew the level of satisfaction a single portion of fish and chips can provide.

Visited here whilst on holiday in Whitby. We were seated very quickly despite the restaurant being very busy. Service was spot on, attentive and friendly and our server was amazing, regrettably we didn’t get her name. The food was spot on, best fish & chips, mushy peas and fish chowder we’ve ever had. Would definitely reccomend here for a bite to eat. Fresh, piping hot and tasty food. We will be visiting again before we go home for sure.

Absolutely fabulous with a warm well especially Michelle who was so friendly and attentive with lots to f knowledge about the menu

I can't understand the good reviews here. Considering the fine location, I was expecting a good meal. However, the fish and chips were simply completely unseasoned and swimming in oil. I found it really difficult to eat this greasy food. Too bad about the fish and the money. The Service itself was good

Warm welcome from staff, helpful and friendly. Restaurant always clean as are the rest rooms. Fish n chip’s lovely as was the scampi

Thr best cod i have ever tasted the batter was perfect this is my go to now ...perfect ..well done to the fish fryer and the girls who served us .

Fantastic fish and chips restaurant. Close to the station. Lovely efficient service and top quality fish and chips.

Probably the best Haddock and chips we have had. Staff friendly helpful and where all immaculately turned out in the uniforms.

I am struggling to remember ever having better fish and chips and I have had many fish and chips in my time. They were just outstanding. Staff were lovely also. We couldn't go into the restaurant as we had the dog with us but we made our own restaurant by sitting on the railway station steps. Perfect food.

Undoubtedly the best fish & chips I’ve had in years!!! We went at 1600 on a Friday into the restaurant, quiet then but soon filled up by 1700!

A gem.Excellent fish and chips and excellent vegan options. Excellent service.Perfect

The best fish and chips, we've had for a long time. Succulent fish and lovely thin batter. Not at all greasy! Great, friendly service.

We were looking for a great fish and chip restaurant to eat in, in whitby whilst on holiday this february . Walking around the town we asked a couple of people who all recommended Trenchers so off we went. We had a mobility scooter which was no problem to take in . There was a lift to accommodate access to the toilets ( vital for the less abled). The staff were friendly, helpful and explained the portion sizes as we wanted starters too!. The blackboard told us where the catch had come from that day and who supplied the potatoes . The meal was perfect!! Excellent fish and seafood with perfect batter. Crab and prawn starters lovely. Highly recommend as we felt so looked after.

Brilliant food and Brilliant service 😊

Best place in whitby for fish and chips,staff great and very helpful.

Superb customer service and even better fish and chips! We opted for the small cod, so we could treat ourselves to dessert after, and it was a fantastic portion size. Out of the many fish and chips places in Whitby, we were so glad that we chose Trenchers.

Fantastic Gluten free fish,chips, tartare sauce and vinegar. Would recommend.

Absolutely fantastic fish and chips

Good value and Trenchers' fish & chips truly live up to their popularity as the best in town! It's my "Go To" plaice for lunch each time I've visited Whitby (s'cuse the pun).

Beautiful place, very ornate, food was ok though I thought it was overpriced, I had a small fish and chips costing £13.50, dismayed to find that a small bowl of mushy peas was extra. Altogether too expensive for what is basically a posh chip shop.

Loyalty cards should be honoured, ours were cancelled without warning, this is no way to encourage customers to return!

Have been coming to Whitby for several years and somehow hadn’t seen this place. From the outset the staff were so pleasant and accommodating. We all chose the Cod and Chips with sides of mushy peas, the food came in good time and was freshly made and lovely and hot. Chips were beautifully cooked with a light fluffy inner and the fish had a tasty crispy light batter. Mushy Peas too were delicious. As an added bonus they have a cask ale which was Whitby Brewery Abbey Blonde, this was very well kept and served in perfect condition. Service was brilliant and the staff so attentive and pleasant.

The food and service were great! Large and regular fish were a really fantastic size. Evening was very fresh and tasty. Highly recommend 👌

My favourite chippy in Whitby and that is saying a lot m one of the best things for me is that they do vegetarian oil chips as well as beef dripping chips which is great. Staff are very friendly and efficient and the food is brilliant. We've had Karen as a waitress each time we've been in the last few times and she is loving. Really friendly and efficient.

We went here for a friend's 60th birthday, the food was amazing, and the staff were absolutely superb. There were 9 of us, and the service was quick, then place was spotless, we will definitely be back

Absolutely outstanding. Travelled from Gateshead to come back for a meal and it was just as amazing as last time I was there last year. Staff fantastic, will be back 1000%

One of the most underrated meals is fish and chips, but they have to be good fish and chips, this place certainly hits the spot, add to that the friendly staff pleasant surroundings and you have a great place to visit will be returning as soon as possible.

Best fish and chips and very nice all food.Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff

Excellent service from Karen today. We visited for the first time today on recommendation from family. We travelled over from York to arrive for 1130 after reading reviews. Food was delicious. Only fault was could have done with more sauce in the fish pie. Told to mention this when next ordering. Definitely didn't put us off returning as all food was excellent! Thank you Karen for a great service and helping us buy vouchers for the parents for their next visit as they are regulars! A lovely restaurant, great atmosphere and delicious food all round! Thank you!! 😁😁😁😁 Look forward to seeing you soon! 👍👍

Absolutely the best fish and chips, really nice restaurant but 'no nonsense' fish and chips, cooked in beef fat as they should be. If you are in Whitby and hungry for our great British dish, don't fall for the hype... Here is where you need to be. If they are queueing outside don't worry they are pretty quick.

Friendly staff,excellent service,quality food

Gorgeous fish and chips here, with brilliant service and a good style to the place. They even have a "Loo of the Year" award on the front window; it's justified, I say. Would absolutely recommend as your chippie of choice in Whitby.

A queue to get in & extremely busy but well worth it. I found the prices really reasonable considering the central location & opulent decor. The did pack the tables in tightly though. The food was excellent & so fresh (if you can't get fresh fish in Whitby, where else would you get it?!). Very enjoyable & would definitely recommend.

Best fish and chips in Whitby. Far better than the Magpie.

Had the fish pie and it was very good.staff pleasant and attentive highly recommended

Ordered medium cod and chips. The cod was "tail end" and left grease on the plate. We were given our bill whether we wanted it or not and whilst we still had drinks on the table. Loads if staff stood about talking loudly. Expensive and when we left no acknowledgement of our attendance. Overall very disappointing.

This is one of the many fish & chips in Whitby, but definitely consider this one for taking out or eating in. I ordered take away and the staff were friendly, and the food came fast. Very generous portions for the price - I consider £11 for what I got a bargain! The menu has a wide range of options, so definitely not limited to just fish and chips !

The best fish and chips I’ve ever had. I opted for a small and the portion was more than substantial! Staff were lovely as well.

We called in for lunch while in whitby. Arrived at 11.30 am the opening time and went straight in . We were greeted and shown to our table by our lovely waitress. She immediately took our drinks order, which arrived super fast. We ordered our food, and that came about 10 minutes later. That was fish and chips and a seafood salad. Both were scrumptious . By this time, the restaurant was full, and there was a queue outside. There was a good atmosphere and all the staff were brilliant. It is a little expensive to eat in trenchers, but it is well worth it . This was a little treat for my wife and I. Would I come here again???. Yes please.

Ordered fish and chips fish stuck to batter batter was well over cooked thought I would give it a go as the reviews were good worst fish and chips iv had from whitby

One of my favourite fish restaurants. The Food is excellent with the service even better attentive and proffional. We have been several times when we are in the area and will definitely be back

Fantastic fish and chips as usual.

Delicious food and great service. Our waitress Vickie was lovely

Best restaurant and food quality was superb

Very clean well decorated. Fish pie best I've ever tasted

Staff friendly. And served very quickly,nice place to eat.

Lovely clean comfortable restaurant with really friendly staff. Had traditional fish, chips, scraps and mushy peas with a pot of Yorkshire tea, absolutely delicious! Would definitely recommend :)

Great cod fish. Fantastic batter.

We have been here so many times. We drive over from York just to have our favourite fish and chips!

A fabulous place. You might wonder why there is always a queue outside, but once inside you realise why. In fact, it never takes too long to gain entry. You can sit in American style booths with a friend and have a lovely meal together. Super friendly and helpful service but a busy bevy of fun people. Fun was delicious and despite it being so very busy we weren't hurried out of the door after we finished.

Very nice fish n chips best we've had ever!!!!! And was served bye Alex a very helpful lady with a good attitude and price less at her job ,think she deserves a pay rise or promotion

Great fish n chips best we've had ,,,,also nice service from a wonderful women called Alex proper respectfull and looked after us think she needs promotion or a pay rise

Visited today while in Whitby for a day out. The haddock was by far the best piece of fish I've had in a long time. The service was extremely friendly and efficient. Will definitely visit again when in the area. Highly recommended.

Sunday Lunch with friends here was brilliant. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their lunch which of course the Fish & chips featured strongly and was as good as any of the other Whitby Fish restaurants. One of our party had the Seafood platter and would recommend this for a change.

Took a fish butty home and the bread was quite low quality and semi firm The fish, battered pretty well but was quite mushy. Seemed like it was either previously frozen or laid in water for too long and was quite a mushy texture rather than flakey and fish like

What a lovely meal we all had tonight, as always the staff were so friendly as well, my mum got a seafood platter starter, I've never seen the likes of it, for a starter it was huge, my dad ordered haddock which he said was 10/10, i had halibut, again it was delish, thanks to everyone in Trenchers tonight, it really was a nice night out, you made us feel so welcome.

Michelle was amazing and so friendly and accommodating.

Best fish and chips I've ever had!!

Taste was good, size of fish (cod) was disappointing in comparison to our local fish chips which is also fresh fish for alot cheaper. But otherwise was worth the visit.

I have always wanted to try Trenchers fish & chips, but unfortunately I’m not a local. So after a seventy mile trip and a short wait in a queue I was shown to my table. I have to say that my first impression was very favourable, beautiful décor and very very clean. The Staff were extremely efficient, friendly and helpful. My server was KAREN D and I have to say that she made my visit so much the better. She was extremely helpful and made sure my order was exactly as I wanted it and was very helpful friendly and cheerful, I don’t think that I could have asked or received any better service (Thank You KAREN D). The food was perfect (fish, chips and mushy peas, followed by apple crumble and custard). The experience was wonderful and I can’t wait until I can manage another trip to Whitby. Many thanks to all at Trenchers, and I for one highly recommend a visit.

Outstanding service. Sat near the front and watched the attentiveness of the waiting staff - clearly they love working here and they love people- great to watch through consistently warm welcome. The food excelled. If only appetite could match the large portions. Crab sandwich was fresh, delicious and generous portions. Chips were exactly to my taste - crispy on the outside, soft inside, not greasy and again generous. Apple crumble was just like homemade- real slices of apple - more generous than could eat. Definitely want to return as only regret was not sharing the experience.

Extremely poor service, had to wait over 45 minutes and the restaurant was not busy, fish very greasy, and for the money very overpriced

Grabbed a takeaway here. Counter staff friendly. Fish and chips ok.

Great food and drink. Vegetarian options. Great Service with polite and professional staff

You need to look at Facebook and see the reviews..you are getting very stingy with the chips..now we maybe calling you a rip off chippy.

Nice clean tidy restaurant..service was good..decor done nice..over 2 floors..toilets upstairs but there's a lift if your disabled or have walking issues or not good with stairs..have lots of choice on the menu..do dessert, tea,coffee and soft drinks..had fish and chips do different sizes so if your a small eater you be OK.. flat walking area so prams,wheelchair, walking aides are good and can manage..

I always thoroughly enjoy eating here with my family when we go to the coast, the service is excellent, the atmosphere is always bustling but the seating makes your dining experience feel private, the menu has a good selection of choices to suit your appetite. On visits between me and my family we've had the classic fish and chips, but also can recommend the prawn salad and poached salmon with new potatoes and hollandaise sauce. There is sometimes a small wait outside the restaurant but it always goes down quite quickly and is worth it!

The best fish and chips @ Whitby! I totally recommend the apple pie with ice cream and custard as a dessert 🍨 🥧 .

Looked forward to fish and chios all day and was really disappointed. Soggy batter, and tasteless peas. A waste of £25

Amazing fish, really good service, scampi starter soo good, we ordered it twice. Fish was really soft and the batter amazing. Ordered a large and small cod, very good portion sizes
