Rating: 4.5/5

A happy customer said: “We had heard that Drakes sold the best fish & chips in York - and they delivered with aplomb. Donna gave us excellent table service. Two of us had haddock & chips (+ mushy peas of course!), two had scampi & chips. Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Don't hold back - go and get a table now (or takeaway!!)”

A regular user posted: “We have visited Thompsons for years and mostly visited on a two or three regular week basis. Never been disappointed, we have had fish and chips all over the country. Previously years ago we lived nearer to Wetherby Whaler at Wetherby but now this has become our favourite. Standard always the highest and recommended it to many people, staff are like friends.”
