History
Trenchers opened in 1980 and became an instant hit with locals and tourists alike. Launching as a Fish & Chip and seafood restaurant, the menu was developed to make the most of the fresh produce available in the famous seaside town of Whitby.
During the 80’s the restaurants positive reputation stretched throughout Yorkshire and further afield gaining momentum with loyal customers choosing to return again and again.
To this day, much of the menu, and many of the suppliers remain the same, with continual improvement being the number one priority.

Trenchers Today
Almost 40 years after Trenchers launched, the restaurant continues to attract diners from near and far with the venues takeaway being a welcome addition.
Following four decades of subtle adaptation, Trenchers familiar atmosphere is eternal. The well-loved Italian-style booths may have been replaced, cooking equipment updated and menu re-vamped in places but the soul of the restaurant remains the same.
In 2019, we were proud to be awarded ‘Best Fish and Chip Restaurant in the UK’ at The National Fish and Chip Awards by Seafish and NFFF. The awards recognise outstanding restaurants across the country that serve incredible fish and chips and provide excellent customer service.
