Utterly top notch fish and chips with lovely staff. Well worth the money. The only teeny niggle was that because we came with a dog, we had to sit in the area nearest the door and as people constantly filtered in and out we were frozen by the end in February. Would definitely go again but hopefully not with the dog or perhaps in summer!
I recall my honeymoon in Gilli islands Indonesia. My wife and I walked along the beach as the sun kissed the water. We chanced upon a local restaurant with red snapper caught off the water in front. They served this in local beer batter with sweet potato fries. My wife and I watched the sun set over the horizon and the water lap the shore. As we tucked into our fish and chips my wife leaned over to me and said, “ this is wonderful isn’t it?”. To which I replied, “well they are really good, but it isn’t quite Hadley’s”.
Indeed for 30 years my family have visited Hadley’s and it is truly the standard by which all other fish and chips are set. 10/10 always.
Not my first time there, which speaks for itself. Food is delicious and the atmosphere is really nice. Service mostly good, but some staff seemed liked they could not be bothered, but it did not affect overall experience. Doggies are welcome which is great. I would definitely recommend it. Especially cod with chips! 😄
Popped in on the off chance there was room. Major thumbs up for being dog friendly. Food was very good quality, menu not over full and fancy, prices as expected. The service was good, and the restaurant and toilets nice and clean. Disappointing there were no deserts on offer at all?
Everything we could’ve asked for!
We had booked the restaurant a few days in advance and they did a great job of catering for our large group of eight. The fish and chips were delicious and were the best we have had In Whitby. The facilities were super clean and felt so welcoming.
The restaurant included many amazing murals painted across the walls which we felt added a layer or character to the building.
The food was served in 10 minutes and given that we had eight people in our group, it was very impressive.
The staff were very good and knew exactly what they were doing - they were very professional.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and were very pleased we went.
If you need fish and chips In Whitby, this is the place to go!
Had a fantastic fish and chip meal here tonight. I pre-booked as we had a dog and a family member in a wheelchair. Arrived 15 minutes early which wasn't a problem, table size and location was perfect for the 5 of us and easy access for the wheelchair. The meal arrived, 5 cod and chips with peas and curry sauce, pots of tea and soft drinks. Really great food, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We were able to order smaller sizes for those without huge appetites, these were £11 each, peas and curry sauce were optional extras which we added on. Drinks reasonably priced too. Great food, friendly staff, speedy service and a nice atmosphere made this well worth a visit. Definitely recommend 👌
Went at lunchtime. It was busy but well organised and we were quickly shown to a table. The food was hot and well cooked and good value for money. My pot of tea had no teabag but this was quickly rectified. Would definitely return and recommend to others.
Delicious fish & chips. Fish was so fresh, it was the best I've had for a long time. I had a small portion & it was enough for me. Other family members had large & medium portions which were fairly generous. Staff very attentive & accommodating.
Went on the 13th October 2023, the staff were very friendly. The waiter even offered us the special menu option even though it was nearly 6pm and the menu only offered the deal until 3pm. We had a regular and a large cod and chips and it was delicious, freshly cooked pipping hot and the fish was beautifully fresh large flakes of really white moist fish would definitely recommend
After a fruitless search looking for somewhere to sit down and eat (not easy in Whitby on a Thursday evening) we dropped on Hadley's, and I'm glad we did. A clean and well laid out restaurant, with reasonable prices and generous portions, although it is a fish restaurant so may not be your choice if you don't want something see based.
The meals when arrived were cooked to perfection, and the accompanying chips were delicious.
The place is also licenced, with a decent wine choice as well as beers, so definitely a great choice.
Very pleased, and happy to come back on my next trip to whitby
Excellent. Very good product and helpful, courteous staff.
My one reservation is that I tried to use the upstairs loo and found it in darkness with no obvious light switch.
I was told the area was not in use but there had been no sign of any reason to think this was the case when I ascended the staircase up to the brightly lit area through which you walk to get to the loos.
A sign or roped off area might have helped.
Otherwise an excellent visit and I'd certainly come again or recommend it to others.
