Popped in for a takeaway fish supper about half an hour before closing, was greeted & served by a friendly & efficient young man. We ordered medium haddock x2, large chips & scraps. & some sauce sachets.Everything was freshly cooked. The fish were generous fillets & perfectly cooked. Chips were decent & a lot of very naughty but extremely delicious crunchy scraps. Paid slightly under £20 for a very good meal which we enjoyed very much. I recommend this restaurant, there is a big eat in section if you fancy that as well as the takeaway section. Thanks very much!
Ask ten locals where the best chippie is in Scarborough and you'll probably get all different answers. Nobody mentioned this one, which I just happened upon as I was out shopping. The first thing that attracted me were the offers, one of which, the £13.50 lunchtime special came with an enormous (supposedly medium-sized) haddock, chips, scraps, pot of tea and a slice of brown or white bread and butter. A decent-sized pot of tartare sauce was speedily supplied.
Well I have to tell you that everything was sensational. The fish, frozen at sea off Iceland, was the freshest, flakiest, whitest piece of haddock ever, in a lovely light batter, the chips were beautifully cooked and the addition of a little bowl of scraps was a first for probably 30 years!
Even more impressive was that the nice and strong pot of tea easily filled two cups, with extra hot water available on request. It was way better and about a third less expensive than Winking Willies, supposedly one of the top chippies on the seafront where I ate a couple of days ago. I'd planned on a curry, but I'm really glad I didn't.
Family run, by the way, with the dad clearly in charge and a son working the till, among other tasks. According to my receipt, he was Debbie.
It's perhaps a modern thing.
