Hadley's Fish & Chips
11 Bridge Street, Whitby, North Yorkshire
About
The East Side entry in the argument, on Bridge Street just over the swing bridge, and the only one of the four that is family-run down three generations. Hadley's first opened in 1937 under Alan Hadley and is now run by his grandson Chris. The pitch on its own site is unfussy: British potatoes, MSC-certified fish, home-cooked mushy peas and homemade tartare sauce. It is smaller and less of a production than the Pier Road places, it closes earlier, and it is the one to aim for if you are already on the old-town side and do not want to cross the bridge and join a queue.
