Royal Fisheries

Situated on Baxtergate this is one of the less attractive Fish n Chip shops in Whitby as it's not on the main drag where the Magpie cafe is situated. Do yourself a favour and pay this place a visit, the service is welcoming and excellent throughout, the Fish and Chips are great, I had the Cod and it was delicious, also the Curry sauce is about the best in the area. We sat in and dined but there is a takeaway option if you wish. We took advantage of the Special offer and got a slice of bread n butter and a cup of Yorkshire tea included in the price. Great value will visit again.

My wife and I have been to The Royal on several occasions, and we've always enjoyed it. Our most recent visit wasn't planned, but I'm certainly pleased we wandered up Baxtergate on 10th April. The issue for The Royal is its location. Being tucked away up a side street that probably only locals use means it doesn't benefit from the huge influx of tourists that invade Whitby, unlike the F&C shops on the main route, that are noted for queues outside, something I've never witnessed outside The Royal. Tourists standing outside the venue adjacent to the main roundabout should do themselves a favour and walk a couple of hundred yards down Baxtergate and enjoy F&C's of the same quality for a lower price. No, sod that, ignore everything I've written, don't anyone dare go to The Royal, leave it Whitby's best kept secret for us in the know.
