Trenchersrestaurant Omdömen 

Absolutely lovely food! Best fish and chips

Fantastic news restraint with awesome service and top rate fish and chips.

We were in the mood for a classic chippy tea this evening, so we popped into Trenchers Bowness on Windermere!
Thanks to the My Cumbria card discount, dining in was excellent value. Just be aware that they cook everything to order, so it’s ideal if you’re not in a rush - but you’re guaranteed a beautifully fresh meal. We went for a regular and a small Cod.
Verdict: We’d highly recommend it - everything was delicious! 😋

If you like fish and chips plus the coast. The best place to go is Whitby The only restaurant to visit is Trenchers the fish and chips are the best you will find and the customer service from Michelle will be outstanding

Trenchers in Whitby is a luxurious restaurant. The quality of the food is excellent and the staff work hard, and are attentive. I accept that you'll pay more than your local chippie, but it is an experience, and well worth the money. The toilets upstairs are exceptionally well-appointed and clean. My first visit was two days ago, and I will certainly go again when in Whitby.

Absolutely terrible batter horrible, fish watery, skin on! Chips dry, very poor for money, service very poor staff all look unhappy bad experience!! Don't go.

Have been going here for nearly 30yrs. But after todays experience we will not be returning. Front of house staff rude. There was no queue, strangely, so opened the door to see about a table as many were empty. The first young waitress said I'll be with you in a minute, to which the main front of house lady arrived and told us to go outside and stand at the sign. Another elderly lady had arrived for a table for one, who was also abruptly told to go outside. After waiting 5 mins whilst front of house leaned on the desk, she finally opened the door said Here's your table, dropped the menus as was gone. No eye contact, no enjoy your meal, nothing! Had a lovely waitress, who kept apologising to us and the lady on her own who was furious about the way we were greeted. Another couple also had the same lady take them to the table. After 3 minutes they got up and left, saying how rude. After we paid the bill and passed the main front desk. Totally ignored. No thank you, goodnight, hope you had a good meal. Nothing.
Not what we are used to, after going every month for around 30 yrs, or whenyou have just been voted best on the UK.
Will not return with that attitude.

Its a while since we were in Whitby and Trenchers was the first fish restaurant we ever went to, and it was great. We went back last Friday and I'm pleased to say it was still fantastic. A real welcoming vibe in the restaurant. Nice and clean. The place was packed and everyone I saw seemed to be having a good time. The staff were friendly and quick service. The fish and chips were huge and so tasty. Its the best I've tasted for a long time. I can't wait for another visit sometime soon.

Having eaten in the restaurant on quite a few occasions I was utterly disappointed this time, the portion size is very disappointing and the Cod was to be honest awful, very thin dry overcooked and more batter than fish.
We were a party of 8 and everyone agreed that it had gone downhill.
On the plus side the restaurant is clean and roomy and the staff are all very friendly.

Trenchers' has always been our family's 'go to' for fish and chips over at least six years, visiting them on day visits both in restaurant and takeaway, whilst in Whitby. Reviewed them twice, both 5 stars. But that all changed today. We are in Whitby for the New year week, and decided on a takeaway having just arrived. For a change, we ordered Whitby Scampi and chips. We waited 20 minutes for nine pieces of Scampi in hardened breadcrumbs and a large portion of soggy chips to hide the lack of Scampi. Each piece, no larger than a Brazil nut. The feeling of disappointment was immense... considering the £27.00, I paid for two portions [essentially chips]. The standards at these premises have been slipping for around two years now. Not happy with it currently. I think it's time to try somewhere new. Thanks for the memories...

Nice food but insanely overpriced!

An adults scampi and chips is such a measly portion of chips, only filled a 1/3 of the box,the rest of the box was empty - I swear there was more food in the kids nuggets and chips meal.
I also had a cod from here earlier in the week was mostly batter.
I wouldn't recommend.

They were recommended to us. We just had take away chips. Very dry, tasteless and poor. Not the worst chips we have had but not far off. Will not buy from here again.

My husband and I had a take - away fish each. Both were very poor. In hindsight we should have taken them back as soon as we realised. But as we were in a group of five and one of the group had said how good it was when he ate there a few years ago we must have all been trying to be polite as we ate! At the end once one person spoke up we all agreed how awful the fish was - overcooked, dried up batter that you could hardly bite into, with a tiny bit of dried up fish inside. To take out a fish costs £10 so it was an expensive disaster! One of our party had chips too - they were nice apparently! One of our group returned to the take-away counter to explain about the poor state of our fish but apparently got little response! This business will not have the queues outside its restaurant and its take - away counter for much longer if it continues to serve up fish like this.

My mate below encouraged us to walk a lot further to Trenchers.
Disappointed is one word

Threw most of it in the nearby bin.

The fish was 90% pure batter with a thin slither of fish somewhere in the middle.

Very very poor.

Last went to Trenchers take away just before Covid and the experience was fantastic. So decided to go again with friends on the latest trip to Whitby. Oh dear what a mistake. The fish was awful. For £10 I got the smallest dried up grey piece of haddock overcooked in batter which looked like the oil hadn’t been changed in days. It was so disappointing. All my friends thought the same. So much so one of them went back to complain! So it’s looking at visiting the Magpie again on the next trip to Whitby - other fish and chip shops are available

Dislike skin left on fish, not to my taste. Staff were helpful

We had watched reviews and trenchers had been mentioned, so we tried it. We were not disappointed. From the minute you walk in until you leave, the staff are helpful and the service is great. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food was excellent. I was the difficult one who didn’t order fish and chips. I had the seafood salad. They had forgotten to serve my plate so I waited a while. However, when our waitress had realised, she could not have been more apologetic and even offered a pudding on the house. We did not have one negative thing to say about the quality of the food or service and were so impressed with the food. We’ll be back.

The food was excellent but the service by Daphne was fantastic. She made the whole experience so much more enjoyable

Excellent visit for family. Fish and chips in the restaurant today. Briliant service and amazing food.
