The Wetherby Whaler

"Great fish and chips cooked the proper way in beef dripping.

I went for the whaler which was a tad on the pricey side at £12 but worth it. You need to add in the cost of the chips so it’s about £15/16.

I went to the Pudsey establishment, and the signage is unclear so you don’t know where to queue - entry is for pick-ups the other is for walk-ins.

The curry sauce was fantastic, although rather stingy in terms of size so a bit overpriced.

But in general it was fantastic."

"I was eager to review one of the seven branches of The Wetherby Whaler, and on this occasion, I chose Pudsey. There is a good-sized private free car park to the rear of the building. The shop is large, with a dedicated chippy takeaway and a spacious restaurant. Everything was tidy, and the customer service was commendable. The packaging was environmentally friendly.

I opted for the Whaler Haddock, which was a thick jumbo fillet encased in a dark, crispy batter. The batter had a colour I had never experienced before, but the taste was excellent, as was the haddock. However, the chips were pale, much too firm, and rather bland. The potato scallop was a bit oily (beef dripping) and, like the Yorkshire fishcake, could have benefitted from being left to drain for a minute or two before packaging.

"We took my father in law for father's day,on Sunday around 5pm.
We did not book and were able to be seated once a table was re set.
The waitress came was very good and service was quick.
We ordered a senior fish and chips, regular fish and chips, and large fish and chips.
Mushy peas and bread and butter sides.
As well as 3 teas. Our bill was around £53

The food was piping hot , the batter was crispy and the fish perfectly cooked. We all managed just about to clear our plates, we all enjoyed the food very much.

I was also able to order a takeaway meal that was brought to our table.

Such a great place to eat for all ages.

The toilets were a little dated but were clean and well stocked.

There is a wheel chair accessible entrance, and disabled toilets.

There was a large party eating with small children, they had access to highchairs , colouring in sheets and crayons , as well as being offered a large basket of toys."
