Absolutely lovely little retro style gem. We stumbled upon this place after being put off somewhere else by poor reviews of late, especially around being able to share a meal or order a small portion. It’s lovely and clean, you can sit in or take away. We ate in and our waitress was really kind, bringing us a plate so I could just have some of my husband’s meal. The fish was delicious, beautiful batter really light and tasty, and the chips were yummy. As a bonus they have tatare sauce on the table. We will definitely come back and would recommend to anyone. All of the staff are friendly & welcoming.
Literally the best fish and chips I've had in a long time!!! Fish was thick and delicious. The batter was amazing and crunchy. Mushy peas were good. Service was fast and very friendly. Shame we're on holiday!!! If you're in Filey ...go!!!! 2nd visit. Still bloody amazing again!!!!!!!
We had the small haddock & chips with mushy peas. All piping hot and nicely cooked. Arrived quickly via the polite and attentive server. £11.30 per head was good value for the quality of food.
Really sad to be editing my review to a one star.. My dad is a born and bred Yorkshire man so we have been coming up to Filey and Scarborough since I was a young kid. A few months ago we tried the Brown Room as a family and had a wonderful experience when my Dad was there with us to order the food - not sure if this was a coincidence now? I’ve brought my partner up with me on holiday and was excited to show him this wonderful food place that I’d raved about. Unfortunately, we had a starkly different experience when we went last night for a takeaway. Due to the number of other people in there at the time, I can only think our accents or another seemingly personal reason was why we were treated so poorly. We’re both sticklers for manners and to say we felt spoken down to is an understatement. There was a very clear difference to how we were treated compared to the other people in there, how we were spoken to, time for our order to be taken, response to us speaking to her… Truly, it was odd. Neither me or my partner are the type of people to make a scene over that however we both immediately turned to each other upon leaving and said the same. Filthy looks, snide comments and a poor attitude don’t exactly leave a pleasant taste in our mouths… My advice, approach the lady with blonde and brown hair with caution 👍 Food was nice as I had said in my now-deleted review… however a poor attitude soured the entire experience for us. I felt embarrassed having hyped it up immensely to my partner. No other member of staff was rude to us, only her, but it’s surprising how much one person can ruin for you.
Quality sit down fish and chip meal . Nice touch to have ketchup and tartar sauce on the table . Curry sauce also excellent 👌
