Lovely food good service and friendly staff.

Really lovely food , we have been a few times now and never had a bad meal yet my husband had a large haddock he said it was lovely fish and excellent batter , I had scampi salad which was lovely , we had a a dessert which was very nice I had Lemon cheesecake which was delicious and my husband had a Knickerbocker glory which he said was very nice 👍 staff very friendly and the restaurant very clean so really recommend this place

Oh my god! Best restaurant in England. Absolutely heaven. I had chips n scampi with curry. And I love the English curry. Best curry I've ever had n nothing tast like other chip shop curry. Definitely worth it.. Definitely going back soon. N will recommend to someone.... Few weeks later we had takeaway n take it home n taste the same. Absolutely heaven..Thank you 👍 👏👏👏

Fabulous haddock with skin still on!! The cod wasn't so good. A pity. Otherwise a busy specialist restaurant.

Excellent and very good quality 5 Star ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Went yesterday had a prawn salad. The cocktail sauce was very watery. Since eating there I've been poorly 😢. Will not be going again.

Best plaice to be for fish and chips

The food here is lovely, and the staff accomidating. The biggest down on the location is simply how busy it is in the evening, which is understandable given how nice the food is. Really has a coastal vibe similar to places in towns like Scarborough, Whitby, or Dover.

Beautiful food very good service

Consistently excellent fish and chips. Service is also very good. Good quality pot of tea. Definitely recommend Whitby’s.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Whitby’s Fish and Chips, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From the moment I stepped inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere immediately set the tone for a fantastic meal. The clean and spacious dining area, paired with friendly and attentive staff, made me feel right at home. The star of the show, of course, was the food. The fish was perfectly cooked, with a golden, crispy batter that encased tender, flaky fish that tasted incredibly fresh. The chips were just as exceptional—fluffy on the inside and beautifully golden on the outside. Everything was served piping hot, and the portions were generous, offering fantastic value for money. What truly stood out was the attention to detail. The mushy peas were perfectly seasoned, and the tartar sauce was creamy and flavorful, complementing the meal perfectly. It’s clear that Whitby’s takes great pride in the quality of their food, and it shows. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, I highly recommend Whitby’s Fish and Chips for a delicious, traditional meal done right. It’s a true gem that delivers on flavor, quality, and service. I can’t wait to return!

I've been here several times and it's consistently good but pricey for fish & chips. I've been to the restaurant and used the takeaway service. I wouldn't recommend it due to the price, I could get steak or a carvery cheaper. The staff are nice, friendly and professional. I'm finding more and more of these chains getting silly with pricing, it's to pay the shareholders profits I guess, so like Pizza Hut, KFC et al, that will be my last visit. A regular fish, chips and curry sauce was over £11 from the takeaway and there's only one size curry sauce, mushy peas or gravy and that's small, so bye bye, it's the last time I'll use the place, shame really, but there are other establishments similar and even better, cheaper!

Great take out, always fantastic cod and the chips I had the other day were amazing!

Excellent fish and chips, best around

Great food lovely staff would recommend to anyone

Best chippy for me been GF but wished they had GF gravy as an option, curry would be nice but I know it's difficult to get hold of

Best fish and chips we had in a while

Ready for a 2nd visit. No disadvantages about this place. Take a trip if you can. You will not be disappointed.

Very nice, great food, great service.

Always a great experience was my "sitting in the restaurant" review. However, we had takeaway last night 2/12/24. Very disappointing. I didn't take any pictures, unfortunately, but the smell of old oil and grease was overwhelming in the car ride home. Then the batter itself on both normal and gluten-free was very dark and saturated, almost soggy. My test is, being able to pick the fish up in the middle and it not breaking because the batter is firm and crisp and holds together, this was not that because it was mushy and fish was over cooked to the extent of wet cotton wool, not the beautiful fresh white translucent fish you'd expect from Whitbys... won't be buying from there again. I will need to find a new gluten-free fish shop.

Nice, very large environment with lots of tables. Fast and cheerful service. Here there were seven of us and everyone took their own. I ate fish and chips, fabulous, accompanied by a good medium draft beer. I don't know how much we spent, because we were guests.

Went on a Saturday and expected to be sat at the table a little while. It was a very short wait for the order to be taken and not so long later for the excellent food to be served.

Without doubt the best fish and chips.

Me and y friend ordered gluten free small fish and chips, high recommended 👌

Lovely food, not sure about the staff ! Need to smile more.

Absolutely brilliant place couldn't ask for better staff, food or service I recommend this place to anyone

Been a few times always good service haddock and chips with peas was excellent very tasty definitely recommend

Delicious food, good size portions too. I had Vegetarian lasagne it’s now my fave!!!

Service was great, chips and gravy were good. The fish was however underwhelming. The batter was dark and heavier than expected. I’m not convinced it was all that freshly cooked. It was so robust that it actually broke the wooden fork I was given to eat it with, which has never happened anywhere else. I visited because I’d heard great things, but I left a little disappointed. I’d rather wait for a fish cooked fresh than be served something that’s been sat around waiting, and this is what most other chippy’s do for exactly that reason.

Disappointing cod and chips. Fish overcooked and chips were soft and tasteless. There was the sound of what I thought was an industrial drill from upstairs somewhere. Not the best atmosphere for lunch.

Well organised queueing system, outside, under cover. Only one allowed in at a time. Very polite, efficient and timely. Waited outside under another cover for food to be brought out. Fish freshly cooked, with a carton of peas and a good portion of chips. Excellent as usual.

First class fish restaurant with excellent service

We stop here on our 6 hour journey north. Always good food and service. Prices are reasonable too

Regular attenders.. Best fish n chips in Sheffield / Rotherham

Took a coach of people prior booking quick efficient service with a smile at Catcliffe

Amazing food, fantastic customer care, highly recommended

Pricey but worth it, we go for a treat, there are benches and tables to eat outside if you get food from the takeaway.

Very good, 100 times better than I was last here 10 years ago 👍

Myself and 2 friends came here yesterday we all had the small fish and chips and they were all amazing! Excellent food, efficient service, just overall great place! Curry sauce is outstanding! Will be back!

One of The best around, service is fast, food is fresh and hot and never disappoints. The staff are always friendly.

Tried to book yesterday for today and was told it was fine no need to book. Turned up today to be told it was full and had loads of large tables booked and had been for days. Not the only one to find this and feels like we were told to come anyway so we would order from the takeaway which isn’t cool.

Lovely food, love the batter on the fish

Just popped in on our way back home. Used the take away service as the restaurant was very busy and several people were waiting. Good sized portions. Cooked just right for my liking. Would certainly recommend a visit.

Have you started using frozen chips now ? as they are not like the chip shop chips I get in rotherham done with fresh potatoes they was something different about the chips and my friend also remarked on them

A beautiful place for families to go out for a meal. Food is very tasty and value for money.

Not been for 5 months . Usually love this place . Bought 2 lots of regular cod and chips , 20 pounds 20 pence . Poor value for money. I guess the owners decided to half the size of the cod this time.

Definitely gone downhill we used to come here 2 or 3 times a month not anymore, they must fillet the fish with a razor blade it's that thin.

Excellent battered haddock and curry sauce, chips maybe could of done with a minute longer for me but excellent

Batter was deliciously light and crispy. Throughly enjoyed our meal here with 3 under 5.

Great fish terrific service, decent chips. Outstanding fish cake

Great service, good fish and chips freshly made

We've never had a bad experience or a bad meal here !

Absolutely the best tasting fish, cooked to perfection. Only reason I gave it 4 stars was the size of the fish could be bigger and there’s no large cod option. I guess it suits most people’s appetite. Definitely recommend

Very nice fish and chips at a reasonable price. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Very busy after 5.30.

Excellent fish and chips ,been to other restaurants but not as good as this one for quality

Fantastic quality service and food.

First time going to this particular place,food was great ,as was the service,the waiting staff couldn't do enough for you and very pleasant. If I had to pick one fault it would be how dark it was on one side of the room,it made me feel quite anxious,we asked if we could sit near the window and it was rectified straight away. I personally prefer Doncaster Whitby's because it's much brighter with windows on both sides but I can't fault the service at the Rotherham one ,it's just the design of the building.

It was worth the 1 hour journey. Michelle was lovely. Excellent service. Food amazing. Parking super and perfect for disabled parking. Easy accessible. We will definitely visit again.

Fish crispy chips well done and curry sauce great and great quality food and great service from staff

It was ok .food was ok .the chips used to be better .fish was just fish not flakey. It was Watery flesh

I got fish and chips the fish was razor blade thin with 2inch of greasy batter and the chips were white under cooked never again cost a fortune aswell

Had a lovely meal. Staff were really attentive and pleasant. It was extremely busy but we didn't have to wait too long for our food which was delicious.

Excellent food and service. Spotlessly clean and efficient 🧐

Fabulous fish and chips as always. Really good service highly recommend it.

excellent food & great service...

Great place for anyone to go to. Fast service and delicious food.

My friend and I attended on a Friday. It was really busy when we got there but they were so organised we didn't have to wait long for a table. The service was quick, efficient and friendly and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend a visit 😀

Always good service and quality. Plenty of parking

Excellent food here. Traditional fish and chip restaurants. Service could be a little more attentive.

First visit to Whitby's. The food was excellent, brilliant service. Would definitely recommend a visit. We will definitely be going again.

Excellent meal , fresh and tasty

Food was lovely as always. I had the steak pie ❤️❤️

Fair prices, great quality and service

Good selection of food. Fish can be ordered poached, for example. There are plenty of non fish items. Good variety of drinks, both hot or cold. Alcohol is also served. Ample seating inside. Toilets available. Free parking. Efficient and friendly service.

Overpriced and very slow staff , if prebooked they get served first , so we were waiting quite some time , OK if you know that , suggest you just have one person doing the precooked orders

Very tasty food. Quick and attentive service.

Our table for 9 was well looked after and we all enjoyed our meals. We all paid separately, not a problem

The food was lovely as always, I had the home made steak pie. It were a meal for my birthday 🎂 with family.

Our go to place for fish & chips. Friendly staff. Good service. Best fish & Chips

Excellent service from start to finish. Good variety of menu options, including steamed/poaches fish without batter. Non fish options are available. Licensed if you want a drink. Ample parking. Friendly and efficient staff. Reservations are not necessary even if you have to wait a short while.

My daughter went to get takeout but on arrival home 8 miles away Whitby staff forgot one cod but did not forget to charge for it . Daughter went back and all they said was” sorry “ no compensation at all . Ruined lunch.

Great food at a great price 2 courses and a pint £20 . Would Highly recommended

Served quickly, food was fresh, hot and tasted delicious.

Great fish and chips best in Sheffield As great as it always is throughly recommended

Plaice, Chips and Mushy Peas very good.

A lovely place with a chill vibe, but a bit pricey.

Really friendly servers. Lovely atmosphere and tasty food! Would definitely recommend! I had the scampi and it was delicious. My parents had the haddock and chips which looked great too!

Best fish & chip restaurant around .

Food is lovely, a bit on the pricey side, but great customer service.

Absolutely amazing chippy! Clean, friendly, and efficient staff who asked where you would like to sit! Fantastic tasting food! Highly recommend 👌 Thank you.

Great fish and chips but also fantastic sausage.

Bad week on the diet, after visiting Weatherby Wailer in Wakey on Sunday, 4 days later had a Whitby's. Had a takeaway. Both 5 star, in comparison, had option of skin on or off Haddock here. Had it on. Batter was delicious and lighter (colour and thickness) here, better to my preference. Wife's Cod was delicious too. Not too many chips that felt overwhelming. Wasn't a fan of the mushy peas, they taste like Bachelors out of the can. The curry sauce was fruity and had a definite curry powder kick at the end. Both accompaniments were a bit on the watery side. Prefer Wailers Peas and Curry Sauce. Defo go back again for the fish and chips, no sauce! Ps Important - also sells Ben Shaw's Dandelion & Burdock, which is a must for any proper chippy.

Freshly cooked every visit, not long to wait good service

Super restaurant with a fish and chips bias but serves a varied menu.

Took a group of 26 OAPs the staff were very welcoming polite and friendly It helped them that the order for food was placed as we entered the building The portion size was very good value for money Beautiful food fresh and hot Everyone enjoyed their day Thank you to the staff for making us so welcome 👍

Reasonable price. Service excellent. We all really enjoyed ourselves. Would recommend.

Everything about Whitby's is just great. It's an excellent example of a fish and chip restaurant. It's consistently good (cooked to perfection), the staff are friendly and welcoming, and I really like the restaurant. It's bright and airy and immaculately clean. You really can't go wrong, and I highly recommend it.

I thought it would have expencive but I was surprised how fair a price it was and the fish was a good portion and lovely white fish. quick takeaway service. tables outside, or eat in restaurant, all on ground level as for as I could see. the toilets where clean, plenty of parking spaces.Will certainly call again

I've always found every item I've bought there was good but on most occasions found the chips disappointing, this last time however they advertised that they were trialing a new make of potato and the chips were amazing, by far the best I've had from any chip shop in years.

The staff were incredibly friendly, loved it. The place was just a little bit too hot when we visited
