Quayside

Stopped here today around 2ish for a bite to eat. The partner declared best fish and chips he’s had in a long time and we have tried many. I had the scampi and chips which was delicious. Good portion sizes not swamped with chips. Tartare sauce was amazing. Service great. Restaurant decor relaxing and toilets spotless. Brilliant place would highly recommend for

At last…fish and chips with a gluten free option for the all important batter on a piece of cod, which pleased my gluten intolerant partner no end! I opted for the scampi and was blown away by the flavour, never before have I tasted scampi so exquisite. Staff are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble. Pricey, but so worth it… 10/10

The Good The fish and chips. Let's not overcomplicate things. You want a good representation of proper Whitby fish and chips and you'll find it here. Local people all have their favourites and end up being loyal to one, but there are a clutch of top-tier fish and chips in the town, and Quayside is one of them. If you see a long line at Magpie just forget it, they won't offer anything that Quayside can't also provide. The location is stunning, with views across to the Abbey. The Bad "Bad" isn't right, Quayside is a good choice. We dined in. Service was ok, if a little impersonal, and it took a long time to get the bill. But this is a tourist hotspot with lots of covers, so we can cut them some slack, and we're not expecting fine-dining levels of service when ordering fish and chips. Top Tip If you desire no skin on the fish, then order the cod. The haddock is skin-on, but (to me) the better choice.

Dined in and my partner had fish, chips & mushy peas while I had the vegan falafel burger and chips. We also had pot of tea for two. Delicious food, impressive decor, great service. Prime location. Would recommend highly. After leaving tip, noticed that an optional service of 5% had been included.
