We believe there are some of the finest fish and chip restaurants and take-aways in the world right here in Yorkshire and while we couldn’t fit them all in, we wanted to give visitors a taste of some of the best places for great fish and chips.

The Yorkshire Coast is one of the UK’s most popular seaside destinations, with a diverse blend of white cliffs and designated heritage coast around Flamborough Head and a selection of Britain’s best seaside holiday resorts. This scenic coastline boasts a number of immaculate Blue Flag beaches, including Bridlington, Hornsea, Withernsea, Filey, Scarborough North Bay and Whitby West Cliff – glorious on a warm summer’s day and on a winter afternoon!
