The Fisherman

One of Settle's best-known names for fish and chips, The Fisherman has won an enthusiastic following with a remarkable 4.6/5 from close to a thousand Google reviews. The draw is classic Yorkshire frying done properly: light, crisp batter wrapped around fresh, flaky Haddock, with chips that are fluffy in the middle and full of flavour. It works as both a sit-down restaurant and a busy takeaway counter, so you can settle in for a plated meal or carry your supper out into the surrounding Dales.

Regulars praise the friendly, welcoming service almost as much as the food itself, and the traditional sides round out a proper chippy tea. Right in the heart of this popular market town, it is an easy find for walkers and visitors as well as locals who have been coming for years. For dependable, top-quality fish and chips in the area, this is about as safe a bet as you will find.
