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. Pretty consistent and always fresh food, with all the expected bits and bobs on offer. 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.

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.

A must for a traditional British Friday dinner and worth travelling to for the experience. The "chippy" has been owned and run by the same family for 44 years, with current owner, Claire Benson, taking over from her parents 9 years ago. Heart, soul and pride are clearly key ingredients. Crispy golden batter covers fresh, white, fleshy, tasty cod which pairs perfectly with deep fried home cut chips. Mushy peas might be a bit runny but are still good and complement the other ingredients well. Goes down well with a cup of strong, sweet Yorkshire tea!

Great value. Exceptional quality. I had a small chips, large fish and peas... and was unable to finish. Next time I will go for the smaller 70p cone of chips, large fish and peas; I should be able to manage that - oh, and by the way, I'm no small portion eater. The best fish and chips that I have had for ages! Better than Sullivans at Hornsea! More please Sir!

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!
