Maypole Fisheries — Restaurant in Leeds

So Otley is a lovely old market town and has a plethora or Fish & Chip shops given it's size. The consensus of asking the odd local was try the Maypole for your best bet on a good chippy experience. So I did just that Fish, Chips & Mushy Peas at a steady £7.50 to takeaway. Incidentally this chippy also has a restaurant to eat in too. Although modest in size compared to most with a sit down option. So back to the food, well a big disappointment quite honestly. Don't get me wrong they weren't shockers but not great either. They were presented well, but everything was quite a bit off the benchmark standard wise. So I was greatly disappointed ultimately and here's why. The fish was really hard to determine what it was? I'm not going back in to ask but have no idea what it was? Probably Cod out of the Cod or Haddock choice? However it may well have been neither as it didn't marry up with the taste of literally thousands of both Cod & Haddock that I've eaten over the last heaven knows how many years. Somewhat strangely though the batter was lovely where it was cooked properly but awful where it was too thick and not close to being anywhere near properly cooked (see images) at all. The chips were very average and lacked being either crispy or soggy with little flavour to boot. As for the mushy peas again really disappointed. Good consistency but very watery flavour meant they tasted dialed down on pure pea taste and a hint too sweet. I really did expect better than they were and whilst not being terrible they certainly missed the mark. May try again but it would only be out of interest to see if they've improved. Though I'm sure on my experience that Otley has better chippies than this one. I will let you know the next...

First time visit with my husband, daughter and her boyfriend, what a wonderful place. My daughter’s boyfriend has been going since a child and said how good the fish and chips were and he’s not wrong. We visited the restaurant and were greeted by a very friendly welcome and the staff were very attentive. Things just got better when the food arrived, some of us had the regular and my husband had the special. They were all delicious good size chips crispy outside and fluffy inside. The fish was delicious, crispy, light batter and really thick tasty fish. Some of us tried desserts, ice cream, a sundae and Bakewell tart, the same quality with these too, homemade. There is also a takeaway and we will try that too. Would highly recommend and we will...

The Best Fish and Chips in Yorkshire, absolutely 💯 gorgeous, lovely flaky Haddock, crispy batter with none of the white sticky uncooked "stuff" under the batter, just lovely crispy batter, ( Well Done and Lightly Battered as we asked for)!
