Rennards Fish & Chips

Me and my second wife bought a large bag of chips here with a gherkin. My second wife enjoyed them very much and we both thought they were of excellent quality. We were tired having cycled some distance in terrible weather and the hot, tasty, salt and vinegar-laced chips cheered us up no end. It is a place to visit when in Scarborough.

Had a takeaway from here a couple of days ago, it was honestly fantastic! The fish was cooked to perfection and the batter was lovely and crispy and properly cooked without being greasy. The wait wasn’t long and the portions were very generous for the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful as well. Nice and efficient all around, good food and good customer service, I would definitely recommend it again.

We were told Rennards sells the best fish and chips in Scarborough. Admittedly, we were told by the lovely lady who works there, but decided to risk it and grab a "small" haddock, chips and peas special for £6.95. Literally half the price of a fish supper on the seafront. How bad can it be? I did ask for Cod instead of Haddock as they were the same price on the menu, and was surprisingly given a fairly chunky piece of cod. Certainly not a child's portion, expertly filletted, and correctly deboned. I got home with my paper-wrapped box of still-steaming, delicious food. Reminding me of the good old days when you could taste the fish and tell what type it was. Chips were at least twice-cooked and fluffy inside. Peas were perfectly mushy and tasted of actual peas. Half a scoop of scraps deployed in the corner of the box for a little extra crunch. Did they mistake me for a food critic and pull out all the stops? Probably not. Maybe it just IS the best little chippy in Scarborough.
