Wackers Scarborough — Restaurant in England

We were very surprised at this little place tucked away.

Upon entering it was clean, friendly, organized and dog friendly.

You won't find sticky tables or menus in this place and it's very reasonably priced too.

We had the teatime special for £13.50. And we're served a beautiful piece of fresh well cooked Haddock, fresh well cooked chips and tasty mushy peas with a pot of lovely tea.

We brought our dog in and she was given a bowl of fresh water and a bakers twizzlers treat to enjoy. We also bought her a large plain sausage as a treat, and the staff cut it up for her and served it in a bowl so it wasn't too hot for her to eat.

They have a brilliant menu, with alternatives such as low salt and steamed potatoes instead of chips. They also have a gluten free option.

It was nice to see staff polishing the cutlery after being washed before it was set back out.

The toilets were clean and had no smell at all with baby change and disability friendly.

The atmosphere is friendly, and not overstimulating. No bright lights, no sticky tables, no loud or intensive music and nice table settings and seating.

It is a large restaurant inside for plenty of custom. And they also have a takeout menu if that's what you desire (obviously cheaper than the seated in option)

It is a shame we live so far away because hands down the best we've eaten and been served by in a...

Having searched for a dog friendly Fish and Chip restaurant in Scarborough we went for lunch to Wackers..looks quite small from the outside but has been recently refurbed and has loads of seating. Four of us sat down with our two dogs, and after a few minutes we were offered dog treats and a bowl of water for them..that’s a great touch. Then we looked at the menu..two of us are relatively elderly and didn’t want a huge meal..the Menu was very comprehensive..after 1pm, there is an offer of a small fish and chips portion, with bread, fruit juice and a cup of tea and it was only £11.50..we ordered this..didn’t have to wait too long and the meals arrived..the young lady then offered tartar sauce as well. Several ladies went by on the way to the toilets and they all asked to make a fuss of the dogs which was really nice. Then a gentleman came by, introduced himself as Steve..the owner of Wackers..he told us about the refurb where all the old fryers were decommissioned and new ones installed..everything is on the level so wheelchair bound people can use the facilities easily..such a sensible idea. By this time we had finished our lunch.. very pleased indeed with it..the fish was tender and tasty and the batter was fabulous. Altogether a really worthwhile visit to a great traditional fish...

Ask ten locals where the best chippie is in Scarborough and you'll probably get all different answers. Nobody mentioned this one, which I just happened upon as I was out shopping. The first thing that attracted me were the offers, one of which, the £13.50 lunchtime special came with an enormous (supposedly medium-sized) haddock, chips, scraps, pot of tea and a slice of brown or white bread and butter. A decent-sized pot of tartare sauce was speedily supplied. Well I have to tell you that everything was sensational. The fish, frozen at sea off Iceland, was the freshest, flakiest, whitest piece of haddock ever, in a lovely light batter, the chips were beautifully cooked and the addition of a little bowl of scraps was a first for probably 30 years! Even more impressive was that the nice and strong pot of tea easily filled two cups, with extra hot water available on request. It was way better and about a third less expensive than Winking Willies, supposedly one of the top chippies on the seafront where I ate a couple of days ago. I'd planned on a curry, but I'm really glad I didn't. Family run, by the way, with the dad clearly in charge and a son working the till, among other tasks. According to my receipt, he was Debbie. It's perhaps a...
