Capplemans Fish Chips - Pickering

Always go here when visiting Pickering, good old fashioned fish restaurant which is good value for money. Sea food platter or Large cod recommended. Pleasant staff.

After facing difficulty finding a restaurant in Pickering on a chilly and rainy Monday evening, we stumbled upon Capplemans. What a gem! We were quickly served a cold beer, followed by a generous portion of freshly made fish cakes, chips, and mushy peas. My wife ordered the fish pie, which was also delicious and of high quality.

Well Im not going to lie, we ate here because it was the only place in Pickering where we could get something to eat on a Wednesday at 5 pm. Seriously, Pickering is a DIRE place to be at 5 pm. Everything seems to close at 4 pm (alright for some), pubs mostly unfriendly certainly no food before 6 pm, and if you’re there Monday Wednesday, forget it. Now, that said, this Fish and Chip shop was a real find. Lovely staff, amazing food, and a varied kids menu. They do serve other things besides fish! The ultimate test my picky grandson ate all of his chicken nuggets and garlic bread (and no, we hadn’t starved him or bribed him to do so). Ambiance a bit lacking as its very brightly lit and every time the front door opens a breeze from the Baltic flows in. However, service was excellent. Made a great place to eat prior to our evening ride on the Steam Train.

We visited for our first nights meal of our short stay in the area. We found the restaurant on maps and spotted the excellent reviews. The staff were welcoming and the food was great and at a very reasonable price. My husband was particularly impressed with his steak and Ale pie, mash and peas. Whilst I enjoyed gammon, eggs, pineapple and chips. My eldest tucked into fish and chips and my youngest a chicken and bacon burger. Everyones meals looked great. Topped off with icecream for dessert. Thank you Capplemans for a great first night in Yorkshire, thoroughly recommend!

Visited here on 30th. September 2023 and I can truthfully say I had the best fish and chips ever, the staff were first class too, a very well run business, will always recommend.
