Although I've had many a tray of fish, chips and curry sauce from the takeaway of a Thursday Biker's night in Whitby, this was my first time dining in at the Royal Fisheries. I found the Small Cod Yorkshire Meal deal was perfect for my appetite on a mid winter's lunch time. The food was beautifully cooked and prepared and hats off to the 'front of house staff' who were particularly professional, attentive and friendly, a credit to the restaurant.

What a great place! The best fish and chips we've had in years. Friendly team serving, great service and even wheelchair friendly. And about 1 minutes away from the train station:-)Wheelchair accessibility: Good wheelchair access, managed to park inside :-)

Disappointing meal from what used to be a great fish and chip shop, fish batter was soggy and the chips where cut too thin. Filled a spot at the time but they could do better considering the competition in the town.

Forget The Magpie and Trenchers - this is the place for honest fish and chips in Whitby. Enjoy the old fashioned way with buttered bread and a pot of Yorkshire tea. There are signs that it too is sidling over to the dark side like its more famous competitors by introducing aperitifs and wine with your fish lunchMy advice is take advantage of the quality of the food before Negronis appear on the menu!

Excellent food, excellent service, the large Haddock and chips with mushy peas would easily serve two. The prices were also very reasonable. Very quick service during there busy Whitby Goth Weekend. Will be using again next time we are in town. Shame it's not our local.

Excellent quality fish and chips!Service was great and we caught them at a quiet time which meant quick food.Good drinks selection which complements the notably high quality food.I highly recommend the grilled seabass, treat yourself and get chips with the salad you won't be disappointed!

We have a caravan in whitby so use the Take away often however with the rain this morning suddenly catching us out we decided to dine in , what a surprise great friendly staff and the food as normal superb. The inside may feel a bit dated but it’s spotless and the friendly staff were available to discuss my questions on the old pictures of Whitby and surrounding areas on the wall with enthusiasm and knowledge!All in all a great fish and chip shop , crinkle cut chips too !!We have tried the magpie but this I think is better a little of the beaten track but well worth it ..

Great fish and chips. Lovely crisp batter and proper hand cut crinkle chips. The other half had sea bass which he said was gorgeous. Service was really good, I ordered a small cod and they even offered to do me more fish if I was still hungry! The on site bar has a limited but well curated choice of drinks.
With 22 fish and chip shops (apparently) in Whitby, including 5 claiming to be "officially the best,"it was a difficult choice. I was not disappointed as the small haddock was ample for me. It is very tasty and friendly staff ? .

We visited Royal Fisheries twice to eat in whilst in a recent holiday in Whitby. The food was excellent on both occasions - the best fish and chips we have had in Whitby. The portion sizes were very generous and the quality of the food was superb. The staff were extremely pleasant and polite on both occasions. Out of all of the chippies in Whitby, this would be the one we would recommend. Thank you!

Normally my favorite Whitby chippy.Ordered on the app, very fast to collect order, just walk in and collect it, 10/10.Spam fritters are almost perfect, nice thickness, nice batter, real spam. However just a little too greasy. 4.5/5 Joint highest score in my mission to find the best spam fritters.The chips though are a real let down. Don't know if this was just a bad day as I dont remember bad chips here in the past but mine were rubbery, only warm and just bad. Maybe my order was sat for a few mins before I collected it. Although it was ordered for 5pm and collected at 5:01.

Not a good experience, seen some reviews saying the crinkle chips were great, deffo not my opinion, looked and tasted like frozen crap to me. Didn’t like it never going back ever

We were delighted with Royal Fisheries in Whitby. It was quiet when we went in, which surprised me because it had good ratings, but it is off the main drag which is probably why. We were very happy with the quality of our fish and chips. Light, crisp, not greasy. Excellent all round. We did select the Yorkshire special as the 10-year-old is obsessed with tea. She was also starving to death so needed the slice of bread and butter. The service was not intrusive but equally attentive. A good balance all round. Because of starving child we also ordered a side of onion rings and were delighted to see they were "home made" rather than from a frozen packet. Would definitely recommend Royal Fisheries to anyone visiting Whitby.
