Lets face it Fish & Chips without Fish is … just chips!
Whitehead's has built a reputation on the finest locally-grown spuds....and a great, SUSTAINABLE source of fish supplies…

Whiteheads at Hornsea on the Yorkshire coast are committed to playing our part in maintaining a healthy balance in the worlds oceans - and were pioneers in East Yorkshire in becoming Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified for our sustainably-sourced fish supply.

Look at our menu and you will see the blue MSC ecolabel next to our Cod and Haddock - this indicates the fish on your plate was caught in the cold depths of the North Atlantic Ocean - MSC certified as a sustainable source - and is fully traceable to the Icelandic ThorFish vessel that caught the fish, filleted and froze the fish within just a few hours whilst at sea to capture the fresh-caught taste.

We have served the finest fish and chips for 22 years and our reputation is built on serving customers with award-winning freshly-cooked mouthwatering fish and chips time after time. By sourcing sustainable ingredients we strive to continue serving the same dependable, traditional fresh-cooked quality for many years to come!
