Stuarts of Driffield Fish & Chips

It’s been a long time since we have paid a visit here, so we thought it was time to do a review. Starters. Prawn Cocktail The prawns were well presented in a glass with crisp lettuce and side serving of bread.They were fresh, tasted great and a generous serving. Homemade fish cakes The homemade fish cakes were presented well with fresh salad. They tasted great, we’re light and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside and worked well with the salad. They also came as a generous portion for a starter. Mains. Jumbo cod and chips The fish was HUGE this is definitely a portion for two. Although the fish tasted fresh, not too greasy and was nicely battered. Scampi Biggest portion of scampi I’ve seen. Freshly cooked, nice and crisp and tasted nice. The restaurant has a lovely modern interior which is crisp and simple. The staff are polite and friendly and are willing to help in any way they can. Overall the food was good, the staff are excellent the restaurant is clean and tidy. However our main criticism is the portions of food. We were looking forward to a desert however there was simply not enough room left. We would be happy paying the same for less food because it’s great value for money.

Wow. We regularly go for a motorcycle group meet . 32 of us this time. Into the restaurant and seated quickly . The food , staff and service is brilliant . Senior special for me as I'm a small eater ... lol well that went wrong . The senior special is massive . Fish chips and gravy and a pudding . ( 10 choices of pudding . ) portions are very good whatever you order . Toilets are lovely and clean , regularly checked by staff. Well worth a visit .

Booked 4 days in advance for table for two. It was my husbands birthday. I requested to sit at the top as we don’t like to be seated near the door and entrance where ppl queue. Stood waiting almost ten minutes to be seated as no one came despite seeing us (and others) stood waiting only to be told they’d accommodated two large groups so couldn’t seat us so the only table available was near the door. Not good enough, so we left. As a regular visitor we won’t be back. I know it’s a busy time, but this was very poor service. I should have been told on booking that there wasn’t room, or my table should have been reserved and kept for the booking, not to take others.

We popped in on Sunday afternoon as we really fancied a fish butty and were very glad we did! Absolutely textbook. Good sized fish, perfectly cooked with crispy great tasting batter. Lovely soft breadcake and the chap who served us fried the fish in twochalves so that it could be easily stacked in the bun. The Pocklington branch would benefit from some training from this guy as the last time I visited their batter was terrible and they also don't let you put your own salt and vinegar on... Very poor.

Just had my fish&chips here. Everything tasted nice however the portions were too large. Service was friendly, fast and aprochable (especially young girl with glasses-sorry didn't catch your name). Our dog was also allowed in however we had to seat next to the entrance where was really cold everytime the door opened. Overall it was good, I would recommend.
