   Very generous portions of delicious food served here. The fish was fresh, batter light and crunchy and the chips home made with a tasty fluffy interior. I’ve never seen such a large portion of salad on the side of which all was fresh with a perfect amount of simple dressing. The bowl of scraps we asked for was also generous. All the staff were very welcoming and attentive. Our teens ordered chicken bites, again a large portion of what appeared to be chicken breast in crispy batter. We left feeling very satisfied but not uncomfortable, it was the perfect meal to set us up for our ghost tour which left very close by at Juggergate.

   The best fish and chips my wife and I have had in a long time. We've always had takeout for years and this is the first time we've used the restaurant, trust me it won't be the last. A real York gem!

   Amazing fish and chips! Cooked perfectly without being overly greasy. The curry sauce is the best we've had and the mushy peas were super too. Lovely touch of a candle in my dessert. Thank you Drakes. We will be back!

   Delicious fish and chips with friendly helpful service. My plaice (they often don't have it in stock but I was lucky to get the last one on Friday lunch time!) was sublime. My partners pensioners haddock was equally delicious! I had unlimited chips with my plaice but didn't need to ask for more as there were loads on the plate, enough to make a chip buttie (nice bread with lurpak butter - devil is in the detail!) and all washed down with a nice cuppa tea.
