Harden's survey result
Summary
“Best crab sandwich with chips ever” typifies support for this Whitby fixture, which – though somewhat eclipsed by the renowned Magpie nearby – is, nevertheless, tipped by its fans as “the best chippy in town by far”.
Summary
“Close on Maggie’s heels” – this Whitby stalwart (with Whitley Bay spin-off) is extremely “professional” in its approach. “All fish are ethically caught, with the daily supplier shown on a chalkboard along with the variety and source of the potatoes. The restaurant itself is a bit glitzy but very well run and scrupulously clean….all in all, a real find.”
Summary
“Posh”, “fab” fish (“cooked in the lightest of batter”) and chips have earned this Whitby stalwart of over three decades’ standing a reputation as one of the top chippies “in a town packed full of ’em”; and staff are “always friendly and welcoming”. It spawned a sibling at Whitley Bay’s Spanish City in 2018.

For 32 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
