May 2020
I haven’t had a fish and chip supper since before lockdown and I have really been craving the nostalgic meal which takes me back to past family holiday memories.
The family owned and run Harrogate Fisheries did not disappoint me.
We ordered via Deliveroo, but you can also buy your lunch/supper directly from their shop on Skipton Road, with strict distancing rules in place for queuing, ordering and waiting.
They are also offering a FREE local delivery service to the senior residents of Bilton on Tuesday, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays between 5.00pm – 6.30pm. This can be arranged by calling 07931 596398 to place an order, make a payment and arrange delivery. What an amazing thing to do for the local community
My husband and I opted for 2 portions of their fish and chips (small size), a smoked battered sausage (to try for research purposes obviously), and a portion of fish bites for our mini-mumbler. Not forgetting a small portion of both mushy peas and curry sauce, because the more condiments the better in my opinion!
When you order on Deliveroo you can choose to add salt, vinegar & scraps, so just like when you visit the shop itself. Who doesn’t love scraps!?
It arrived quickly and was delivered safely (contact free). It comes in cardboard boxes which state they are biodegradable and microwaveable – although we did not give them chance to cool down to try that out!
The food was delicious, so fresh you could tell it was cooked to order, a real treat and the portions were great. Lovely light & crispy batter, not greasy and big chunky pieces of white flaky fish. The smoked sausage was really tasty, and I will order it all again for certain…in fact I’m getting hungry just typing this!
So, for a taste of the seaside in #lockdown without the long journey or if you fancy a treat for lunch or tea, my family and I can absolutely recommend Harrogate Fisheries for your fish and chip takeaway fix.
