Quayside

Whilst visit the area we chose to eat at Quayside after looking at previous reviews. We was looking forwards to eating upstairs as previous reviews recommended this. Sadly upstairs was closed! However this didn’t ruin the meal. We ordered fish and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce and adding an extra side of scampi. Very welcoming by all staff food was cooked to order nice and fresh/hot portion size is fair. Chips are tasty good old taste. And the SCAMPI was totally amazing full of taste. The batter is just how batter should be. Pricey but it’s worth it.

Amazing friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Staff are lovely and always happy to help. The inside is set out perfectly so you dont feel your sat on the next person's knee lol. Very clean and the takeaway side is just as good. Food is absolutely beautiful with great portion size for the price n as always with the perfect whitby touch.

I ate here on the recommendation of a friend in York. The fish was good, the chips I would say were underdone to my Canadian palate. But the service was abysmal. After receiving my food that waiter never checked on me again; another one did ask if I wanted anything, whereupon I asked for ketchup, but she ended up forgetting and I didn't get any for at least 5 minutes. And I had to get up myself to settle the bill. Sorry, but I can't recommend this place for a positive dining experience.

9.2. Outstanding. Confidently best Chips I’ve ever had. Consistent, cooked to perfection. Every chip crispy outside with warm soft interior. Fresh tasting Haddock also very good, consistent crispy batter and nice thick fillet. No bones no skin. Friendly staff.

A large group of us visited yesterday, the food and service was excellent. I just had a small fish and chips but the portion size was plenty. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, thank you

We have been coming here for several years. Its the best in my opinion. Delicious. The staff are lovely and the restaurant relaxing. Sit upstairs for fantastic views of the abbey and harbour

The place is nice and the staff are friendly but it is extremely overpriced. About a quarter of the amount of chips for the same price and quality as other places. Next time I'll be going to a cheap chip shop and sitting on the beach with the seagulls. I only went to an indoor place this time because one of the people in my group was scared of the seagulls.

Really tasty fish and chips! I went for the haddock, and it was spot on. I’d tried fish and chips once before in London and wasn’t a fan, but the one at Quayside totally changed my mind — turns out fish and chips can be delicious after all! Plus, all the waitstaff were super friendly. A really great experience overall.

Stopped in Whitby last week and had a very tight schedule. They got us a table right away and sent a waitress over to take our order, giving us priority for food. The fish and chips were excellent! probably the best we have had. The cod was fresh, a generously sized portion, and the batter was crispy and tasty. the chips were also very good. This was a really fabulous experience - not one single thing could have been done bette - and I highly recommend them.

Pros + It's a must-try thing to get fish n chips in Whitby, and you can take it down to the pier for the full experience + The fish is VERY fresh from Iceland Cons - It's WAY too greasy. It's nearly dripping oil and you feel dirty afterwards - Tarter sauce is an extra 25p per packet - Cash only (for takeaway) I'm glad I went and tried it, but I certainly wouldn't say this was the best Fish N Chips I've had. It was a cool 'local' experience however to take out and eat on the pier and the water.

Award winning fish and chips? We ordered from the take away counter as the line to sit down was quite long. Walked outside and began to eat (less than 2 minutes after receiving the food) and the food wasn't even hot. The fish wasn't bad but the chips are more like greasy sponges. Not a crisp one in the batch. The fish is fresh...from Iceland; I guess that may explain the price. Unfortunately there's nothing special about this place. I imagine every fish shop in town is just good. How they have won any awards is a wonder to me. I've had better fish and chips from a Chinese take away. Obviously the quality has taken a plunge since winning the award or the award giving committee got lucky. It's sad when a place works so hard to have a good product only to allow the product quality to slip after becoming famous. If you're gonna que up; try magpie a few doors down, it's probably better.

How fish and chips should be! Gorgeous with a simple but perfectly executed service. If I was back in Whitby looking for 'once' and a cup of chah again, I'd drop in here.

An award winning fish fryery,this premises is split into two.One side is a take-away and the other a spacious restaurant.The menu is quite comprehensive but typical of this type of establishment.Food is fresh cooked to order and arrives at the table piping hot.Portions are large and represent good value for money.The staff are both friendly and efficient and very helpful and accomodating if there are children in your party.An added bonus is that the restaurant is licenced so you can enjoy a beer(or two)with your meal.Even more enjoyable was the fact you could get a decent beer(Black Sheep) and not just lager.All in all a very pleasant experience and one I shall certainly repeat when next in Whitby.

Decent fish and chips, cute staff, lovely bread. The line for the takeaway was huge so we went inside. Fast service. Tables a bit small. Great cup of tea.

Got take-away fish and chips last time we were in Whitby. They only had one full-size fish ready, but asked if we were happy to have two small pieces on one of them. Very large portions - me and my husband could have easily shared the chips. Very nice - will definitely be going again!
