Murgatroyds Fish & Chip Restaurant & Takeaway

“I've been craving proper fish and chips for a while and Murgatroyd's was on my mind to fix my craving. It's a long time since we were last here and if anything it's better now than it was then. There seemed to be available seating even though the restaurant was busy and I liked the wide isles between tables. Our waitress Jan was fantastic and within moments our order was taken. I opted for the haddock special and the boss had the cod special. My word the fish was MASSIVE and perfectly cooked, it was so big it made the portion of chips look small but in reality small it was not. Absolutely gorgeous, I did my very best and left only 2 garden peas. Please don't change. Great food, great restaurant and great service. Well worth the round trip from Liverpool”

“I drove 1 hour to get here and although I have eaten in some very good chippies recently, I think Murgatroyds deserves the top spot. Every part of the meal - fish, chips, peas and curry sauce - was delicious and the prices are very reasonable too. And the 'regular' portion is huge. (I'm glad they don't do the "Big 'Un" on the takeaway menu as I would have had to try it and likely regretted it.) Unfortunately it's 90 minutes away from me and so I won't be able to come as often as I'd like, but I think I'll make the effort every now and again.”

“We nipped in to Murgatroyds for a Friday evening meal en route back from the airport. Understandably this place has a massive reputation and was incredibly busy (as they should be on a Friday night!) Parking was fairly straightforward but we arrived at about 5pm so a bit before the evening rush. Tables were packed but we were seated relatively quickly Going inside is a little like stepping back in time 30 years but in the best way possible, it’s really quite charmingly traditional in decor and I quite like that the style has been maintained so well after all this time. I ordered a small fish and chips while my husband had scampi and fish and chips. Portion sizes were exceptionally generous and even though I ordered a “small”, I couldn’t finish mine! The menu has everything you’d expect from a traditional fish and chip restaurant and quite a bit more, and it was great to see special offers for senior citizens. That being said, it is definitely not a cheap meal out. While I think their reputation justifies a bit of a premium, it was rather more expensive than I had expected. My meal was good, but my fish was a little dry which was disappointing given the price. The batter was lovely and light and crisp however. My husband’s scampi was really nice and I think I’d order that instead next time. I wish I had saved room to try one of the desserts as we saw some fantastic retro looking sweets coming out for other tables! We will probably visit again if we are in the area.”

“Came he yesterday with friends. It was SO good! By far the best fish and chips we’ve all ever had EVER! The Thai fish cake was so good too! Can’t believe how good this place is. Wish I lived nearer! Thank you! ”

“Visited after dropping my daughter off at Leeds Bradford Airport. The place was really busy but we were quickly shown to a table. Our order was taken by a really pleasant young man and the food arrived in a reasonable time. We both had haddock and chips with a side of onion rings, delicious doesn't really do justice to the meal. The fish had lovely crispy batter and the fish itself was really well cooked, the chips were exactly what you expect chip shop chips to be, chunky and tasteful. We both had drinks and the cost of the food was really reasonable for the quality.”
