The Wetherby Whaler is famous throughout Yorkshire, having being named the region's best fish and chip shop on multiple occasions. Now a chain of five with restaurants as well as takeaways, the Whaler can be found not just in Wetherby but in Pudsey, York, Wakefield and Guiseley.
The Guiseley store was once Harry Ramsden's, dubbed by the Metro and the Guardian as the "spiritual home" of fish and chips. Plenty of other reviews show attempts to finish the Wetherby Whaler's "Impossible Fish 'n' Chips Challenge" on National Fish and Chips Day.
2021 saw the Whaler become "the nation's fish and chip icon". Four million packs of Walkers' Fish and Chip flavour crisps were created, inspired by the shop. So it's safe to say, it's pretty well loved.
