We took my father in law for father's day,on Sunday around 5pm. We did not book and were able to be seated once a table was re set. The waitress came was very good and service was quick. We ordered a senior fish and chips, regular fish and chips, and large fish and chips. Mushy peas and bread and butter sides. As well as 3 teas. Our bill was around £53 The food was piping hot , the batter was crispy and the fish perfectly cooked. We all managed just about to clear our plates, we all enjoyed the food very much. I was also able to order a takeaway meal that was brought to our table. Such a great place to eat for all ages. The toilets were a little dated but were clean and well stocked. There is a wheel chair accessible entrance, and disabled toilets. There was a large party eating with small children, they had access to highchairs , colouring in sheets and crayons , as well as being offered a large basket of toys.

Delicious fish and chips with a great dessert menu too. If you're in or near Pudsey so yourself a favour and dine in at Whalers. The staff are knowledgeable and very friendly. Fantastic dining and highly recommended!

This was the first time I've visited, and the restaurant was quiet as a late Monday afternoon; we were quickly seated and asked if any allergens in advance. The restaurant was clean and a lovely older/classic style in decor, and was cool despite the heat outside. The host was welcoming and we were promptly served our drinks and food; the fish and chips is fresh and tasty, and the scampi salad was refreshing and the best salad I've ever had easily. Drinks were ice cold and no ice in the glass which was perfect! Definitely will be back!

Quiet due to it being a weekday afternoon, but can hands down say some of the best fish and chips in the UK, and one of the only places still using beef dripping for frying! Can't beat it. Fresh and quality food, 10/10

I am so mad at myself for not trying the Whetherby Whaler sooner. The fish and chips are spot on and they even have a gluten free option for those that have celiac disease or gluten allergies. Highly recommended.

Love the restaurant, interior basic but the fish and chips are to die for. Absolutely beautiful. Mum and Dad love the OAP special as it's am absolute bargain

Thought we would treat ourselves to fish and chips. Fish looked like it had been stood 4 days soggy batter asked for battered sausage not even seen batter. £27 in the bin. Won't be going there again ! Just going to make some toast now

Smaller chip portion than usual....fish excellent as usual but don't be stingy with the chips at £13+ for fish and chips I expect a hefty plate full

Always worth a visit when up and around Pudsey.. friendly staff and of course the fantastic Yorkshire fish and chips !

Best fish and chips we have had since our last visit. Convenient location, easy parking, very nice atmosphere and surroundings. Very pleasant staff. We expected the best and we're not disappointed.

Fish and chips as good as you can get pretty much. Nothing to complain about or to suggest could be better. Tasty fish and crisp batter. Good chips. Everything cooked in beef dripping which adds to the flavour and textures. Tartare sauce and lemon wedges add to the flavours.

Service was exellent, young girl friendly and fast. Fair sized fish but didn't taste as fresh, wasn't in crispy batter, not soggy though. Chips were a bit pale, but ok. Mushy peas from a tin l think. I paid a seniors price which was £17 l think so it's three courses but if you have mushy peas with the meal then no starter, but did get a trifle for pudding. So price is reasonable l suppose. I do like this place, everyone likes fish and chips, and we will go again, it does seem to entertain the older generation though. 😄

We often get take out fish and chips as my daughter has the gluten free range. She is now in hospital, so we pick it up and take it to LGI for her and a few other patients. The fish is amazing, the Whaler is the best. We love how they do cater for gluten free people. Not many fish and chip shops do, the range is perfect as well.

I was very disappointed with the length of time waiting to receive our plates, and the portions were small for £13.95. Extra for bread and butter was also a low at 30p a slice. Will not be returning which is a shame as used to be good value.
