What User likes about The Riddling Rack:
I'm not typically a fan of beer, so I was unsure if The Firkin would be the right choice for me. However, I was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere was great, and they had a good selection of drinks, which was especially appealing to us. View all feedback.

What crystalk916 doesn't like about The Riddling Rack:
So disappointed that this once excellent chippy has lost it for me. Don’t know what oil they are now using but it just overwhelms the food, chips really pale too. Given it two or three tries recently but won’t be returning unfortunately. View all feedback.

Everyone was very friendly a good atmosphere. Price per person: £20–30 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Nestled amidst local eateries, this restaurant serves as a mixed bag of experiences. Many rave about the exceptional quality of its fish and chips, often compared to renowned establishments in Whitby and Scarborough. Guests enjoyed the freshly cooked dishes and the generous portions. However, a few diners expressed concerns over hygiene practices and inconsistent service, particularly highlighting an unfriendly owner. While some menu items, such as the gyros, fell short of expectations, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff often redeem the dining experience. Overall, it remains a recommended stop for those craving classic northern fish and chips.
