Most Disliked
Some guests mention the occasional need to be on guard against pesky seagulls, particularly when dining outside. A few found the seating limited during peak hours, leading to longer waits for tables when the beach is bustling with visitors. Additionally, while the takeaway service is fast, a handful of patrons wish for a slightly wider variety of side dishes to accompany their meals. Although the prices are reasonable, a few diners feel that portions could be more generous, especially for larger appetites—perfect for those who’ve worked up a real hunger after a long walk.

My parents and I came here for a chippy lunch- a nice big bit of fish and plenty of seating on the seafront to enjoy it, but watch out for closely observing seagulls!

I was visiting Redcar all the way from Australia, chasing up some family history. Obviously had to see the beach front and grab a bite to eat while here. Spotted this chippy and was not disappointed. Very friendly service with a smile, great prices and even better fish and chips! Would definitely recommend and hope to back soon myself!

Fabulous Scampi and chips made to order by lovely owners ! In a brilliant location so you can either sit inside around the perimeter of the shop or there's plenty of benches by the sea wall ! Wonderful meal after a long and wonderful walk along the beach worked up a decent appetite ! 😀

Called in yesterday afternoon for a bite to eat. Just had a fish with mushy peas. Cooked fresh, staff friendly and helpful. Cod was delicious and the batter probably the best I've had, crispy and tasty not soggy at all. Fantastic.
