The lines kept the fish served freshly fried. The mushy peas were a nice bite as well but nothing to write home about. I ordered the fried haddock with chips. Freshly fried with a light batter, the haddock was hot and crisp. The chips were also quite decent. There was self dispensed seasoned salt and malt vinegar available as well. There is no seating in the immediate vicinity of the restaurant, but there were outdoor benches by the Minster a short walk away. A great way to cap off three days in York!

This place is quite popular and often has quite a big queue, never a problem though as the staff are efficient and service is spot on.

Only once or twice have I ever been let down by this place, think they had turned the cookers off a few months ago and was less than impressed with a lukewarm fish that I needed to reheat( I keep going back and that speaks for itself.

Turnbulls is well known for it large fish that hang off the plate and their competitive prices make them hard to resist.

The only downside is that it isn't open very often I think it's Wednesday, Friday and Saturday lunchtimes, Friday and Saturday night. The fish is very succulent and the chips are not too greasy. When they portion out the chips it sometimes looks like you don't get a lot but when you have eaten it all you are full. And if you aren't then you could have got two as they are so cheap! I give them five out of five.

The restaurant is underneath the main shop, but it feels cosy rather than basement-y, with white walls and plush blue velvet curtains. We had some french people stay with us once, and they really wanted to try proper fish and chips, so we brought them here. They weren't disappointed - who could be with light, crispy battered haddock and fluffy golden chips on offer, with proper mushy peas and gravy that tastes like it's been made for a roast dinner? Ommmm.

We dropped into Capplemans around 6pm on a grey Tuesday night in June and it was busy and bustling…read morewith a mix of locals and tourists. We waited at the front of the shop as instructed by the clearly written sign which is prominently displayed as you enter the cafe (a fellow who ignored this instruction and found himself a table was greeted with the lovely put down of: "I suppose you will be wanting a table for one then sir"). After a couple of minutes we received a warm welcome from the young waitress and we were seated at a window table. The decor at Capplemans is very 1980's - think of an elderly relatives living room and you will get the idea - and the service has similar old school charm (if you are following instructions). This approach seemed to suit the majority of the clientele and while it's a little bit dated it did not detract from what was a very fine fish supper. I had a whale of a haddock with a small chips and a portion of mushy peas which came included in the price. Crisp batter, fresh fish and well cooked chips - it was a very tasty meal and even with a bottle of Black Sheep to wash it down I struggled to make it to the finish line. B was similarly pleased with her cod supper and also struggled with the portion size. We left after the best part of an hour with our wallet hardly any lighter and in serious danger of slipping into a food coma. This is a good thing .....

The chips aren't too greasy and you even get the option of 'scraps' (all the crispy bits in the fryer!). The best fish n chips we've had for a long time. Just missed the Scottish 'chippy sauce' we're used to!! The only reason I knock a star off was because the lady that served us was rude and off hand. We got a take-out and she made a deal of not understanding our accents. She also didn't realise I'd given her £20 and not ten and had an attitude when I stated a needed change of £20. Maybe she was having a bad day or doesn't like Scots!
