Called on 25th July for tea. We have been before and really enjoyed it. The fish and chips were sublime, service faultless and very reasonably priced. The Yorkshire fishcake and special fish are the ones to go for. Madi, the waitress is really friendly and attentive . We would 100% recommend the Maypole.
I'm a bit mean giving a 1 for food but I don't eat plaice and found out I don't like haddock either. I'm from the south and only eat tail of cod which doesn't seem available up here. Service with a smile and very friendly So if you eat haddock you should be giving it a 5 star!
Blown away by how good the fish and chips were. An good sized portion of haddock and chips for just £9. Tasty crispy batter that didn't go soggy underneath or with vinegar and a nice thick fillet of haddock. So fish to batter ratio was spot on. Chips were nice and crispy without being burnt too. Honestly these are best fish and chips I have had for years... probably for ever. Just sad we won't be back for a while. We had takeaway and ate outside.
I used to live in Otley for 12 years and Maypole was by far my favourite fish shop, tried them all, but nobody else comes near for taste and quality. I've lived in Rawdon now for the last 4 years, but still prefer Maypole by far to any near us unfortunately. My parents love it here, so we celebrated my stepdads birthday in the restaurant today. Great customer service as always. Thank you.
First time visit with my husband, daughter and her boyfriend, what a wonderful place. My daughter’s boyfriend has been going since a child and said how good the fish and chips were and he’s not wrong. We visited the restaurant and were greeted by a very friendly welcome and the staff were very attentive. Things just got better when the food arrived, some of us had the regular and my husband had the special. They were all delicious good size chips crispy outside and fluffy inside. The fish was delicious, crispy, light batter and really thick tasty fish. Some of us tried desserts, ice cream, a sundae and Bakewell tart, the same quality with these too, homemade. There is also a takeaway and we will try that too. Would highly recommend and we will definitely return.
