What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Fish Box in Whitby offers a popular, value-for-money fish and chip experience with some diners raving about the quality of the fish and generous portions. However, experiences can be inconsistent, with some customers reporting overcooked or disappointing food. While the service is generally friendly, one TripAdvisor review highlighted an instance of poor treatment towards a diner with learning disabilities, and another noted issues with table cleanliness.
"Called in for lunch today as it was the nearest place to the car park and I have not tried it before. The chips were good. but the fish was one of the best fishes I have ever had. I also thought it was very reasonably priced for the location, about £10 for fish and chips. well worth a visit."
Mark Stokes
"We was very disappointed with this place, as we had been here before about 4 years ago and always recommended it to everyone one to try them out, we came up for the day really looking forward to some decent fish and chips, and what we got was over cooked horrible ends of some kind of fish.
Very, very disappointed, no Haddock on. Surely being a weekend you would think they would have been fully stocked"
Bev Bridges
"Ignore the bad reviews, we’ve been to the two very well known restaurants in Whitby for fish and chips many of times and these to be honest were very similar, if not better cooked and apart from not being on a plate 🤷♂️. Many locals were using the place too and I would go again. Fish beautifully cooked and every chip was eaten with no scatty bits left like there usual is at some other places."
