About

A family-run chippy, the traditional way

Tucked just off Scarborough's seafront on Eastborough, near the RNLI lifeboat station, Lifeboat Fish Bar is a small, family-run fish & chip shop doing the simple things properly: good fish, fresh batter, chips cooked to order and a warm welcome.

With around twenty seats inside and a steady queue for takeaway, it's the kind of place regulars call "the best chip shop in Scarborough" — and more than a thousand reviewers agree.
