“The best fish in a lovely place” – this ‘Seafood Restaurant and Fish ’n’ Chip Takeaway’ is right by the beach in a scenic village a short hop from Whitby. “Takeaway is lovely, but eat in for the full menu, wine and the full pleasure of a visit”. In particular it’s a “superb place to eat outdoors”. Top Menu Tip – “fish taco and scampi are top in flavour and mega good value. And Champs by the glass is always welcome”.

This modern ‘posh chippy’ (est. 2020) just 20 yards from the sea has a “first-class fish menu to suit all tastes”, from fish ’n’ chips to consume on the beach to a menu of more elevated international seafood dishes to eat in the dining room. There’s a second branch in York’s Shambles Market.

This two-year-old just twenty yards from the beach at Sandsend serves highly rated fish ’n’ chips plus some more elevated seafood dishes, to eat in or take away (which some reporters reckon is “the best option”). A second branch in York Market makes a “fabulous addition” to the city’s food offering.

"Very, very good food in a beach-side restaurant. Very friendly and helpful serving staff. The King Scallop and Belly pork starter - excellent. A real find for the North-East."
