New to TripAdvisor but this really deserved a mention. Arrived Saturday with my family, the grandchildren decided they wanted chippy tea so followed the sign and found this place. I'm so glad I did everyone agreed these were the best fish and chips we had ever had!!! We had a mixture of different things all cooked to perfection decent sized portions and very light crispy batter top notch!! It was fairly busy when I arrived and I'd thought I'd be in for a long wait but the food came quicker than I thought, the 4 girls working must know what they are doing!! All polite and smiley genuinely looked happy to be at work which is a rare thing in some places these days. We will definitely be back for another visit before the end of our holiday if the kids had there way we would be there every night.

Popped in at lunchtime to collect fish & chips for my grandad, brother and I. Not living locally didn’t realise this one wasn’t the one I was supposed to go to. The portions were large - I ordered a large fish, regular fish, large chips and a small fish & chips. Plenty of chips were left over! Unfortunately the fish batter was pretty thick and greasy though the fish was fresh, despite waiting for it to be cooked. In future will go to Capplemans fish shop instead - the fish batter is lighter and less greasy.

This is the best place for miles around, have been almost every time I've been passing through Pickering. Shame we live over 100 miles away, otherwise we'd be there all the time. Thankfully I'll be bringing the family this coming weekend so will be popping in for a feed once again. Great food and excellent friendly service!!!

Arrived in Pickering yesterday and decided on chippy tea. Smiley service. When we were ordering I pointed out to my husband that they had scraps. The lady heard and said she’d put a bag in with our order. The food was immense! Really meaty fish, crispy batter which was light and tasty. I hope we return to picketing because I’d love to visit again

I found this chippy as we were passing through Pickering.There is a helpful sign on the main road to Helmsley.The cod was fabulous and was skinned. The chips were great.Everything is cooked fresh so there is a small wait and it is worth it.Next time we are in the area I will make a detour to come here.

Traditional Small fish and chips shop, almost perfect, fish cooked to order and only 7 minute wait, £6.30 for a small fish and chips in a posh town is good. It even tasted like haddock, so no complaints, fish good, chiis good. The rest of the town was lacking in eating places, one pub closed down ,two others not serving food.

Visited yesterday evening, food was good but the wait outside was horrendous, over half hour and some people seemed to be getting their orders far quicker, on person walked in and ordered and was served in 5 minutes whilst another was there when I arrived and was waiting still when I left and had ordered the same as the person who got theirs quickly. Something about the serving system doesn't work well as 4/5 staff behind counter. Fish stood out as excellent, chips were better than many others, but definitely needs a review about how people are served as turned into a bit of a joke amongst those of us waiting outside

If you are looking for traditional fish and chips and you are in the area this is the place to go. Everything is cooked fresh and is always hot, I recommend you try the fish it is always fresh tasting and not that frozen stuff. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. I wouldn't go anywhere else in the area. I highly

Best fish shop for miles, visited many times before when in Pickering and last week had cod and chips and chicken and chips with mushy peas, all well cooked, crispy batter, white, fresh fish and lovely chips, as always a great meal.

Everything was cooked fresh so was piping hot with very thin crispy batter on fish. Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time. Really pleasant staff too. Definitely worth a visit.

First visit. Ordered x2 medium haddock and a medium chips. Very busy which is a good sign. The fish was a bit too greasy in my opinion the chips were fabulous
