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 .....

This place serves fish 'n' chips that'll blow your mind. The fish is cooked as you wait and the…read morebatter is light and done to perfection. 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!

I would definitely go here as it is pretty cheap and is also next to a Spar shop and a park for you to eat your meal with. I would give this a 8/10. Compared the other fish N chip shops round Malton and Norton, I personally would rate this as one of the best. If you haven't ever tried it here, I recommend you should.

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!

On the upside this means you usually get served quickly, but on the down, sometimes you get food which has been lying around for a little bit. The prices are the usual that you would expect from a fish and chip shop in this area, not too expensive. but not really cheap either. The quality of the food is usually good, even if the freshness isn't always the best. Overall, compared to the other fish and chip shops in malton, I would say that it is average.

Been in here a couple of times recently and can say without doubt that the quality of the fish and…read morechips is excellent. I would also agree with an earlier review that it does often seem to be quiet which is strange considering how good the food is. Could just be I was there outside of the busy periods? If I had any criticism, it would just be that the staff although friendly and helpful have got my order wrong in a small way (i.e. missing bread bun or no scraps) each time and I've had to prompt them to get it correct. A little surprising when it's relatively quite but certainly not enough for me not to give them a deserved 4 stars. Just a quick update to say that this is still the best fish and chips in Malton and we use it regularly (diet allowing!).

Its only open for lunch on Friday and saturday and not open at all on Sunday and Monday a true sign of a good chippy is when they can choose to open!
