Separate vegan menu and fryer

Nice to find a chippy with a separate fryer for vegan items. Phoned order through and collected not long after. I ordered the chips, mushy pea bomb, curry sauce, and pineapple fritters. In hindsight, it was too much batter for me, and I had to remove most of the batter from the pineapple fritters as it wasn't as crispy as I would've liked. They also put the pineapple fritters in with the chips and put the musy pea bomb in a separate box for some strange reason, so I'm pretty sure they accidentally ended up with salt and vinegar on them. Nice enough and still hot when I parked up at the sea front.

Pros: Separate vegan menu and fryer, Good portion and priced

Cons: Put pineapple fritters in with chips

Very lovely

I had the vegan fish and chips with mushy peas and they were delicious. So tasty and perfectly cooked. Very reasonably priced and have quite an extensive vegan menu with a separate fryer for vegans.

Pros: Great choice, Very tasty food , Good price

Best Vegan Chippy Ever

This was brilliant! It makes me annoyed that happy cow reserves 5 stars for all vegan establishments as it’s clear that these guys have done their research and the food was the best chippy we’ve ever had !!

Pros: Chips were freshly fried in vegetable oil, Lovely large portion , Fish was amazing

Thanks for adding vegan options

We enjoyed 2x tofu and chips and 3x vegan fish and chips. My tofu was great thanks very filling. The vegan fish was apparently great too - I will try it next time.
This place was really busy at opening time of 430pm so it might be wise to order online.
I was offered scraps but assumed these would be non vegan so declined.

Pros: Tofu option , reasonable Prices , Fried in oil

Cons: Takeaway only

Not overpriced

Finally!

Finally a solid vegan fish and chip menu and boy was it worth it. So much choice and not enough stomach space. We opted to pre order and collect which was so efficient and also purchased a bottle of their ketchup upon arrival. Would recommend doing this to beat the crowds as closes relatively early. It’s a little away from the bay so would recommend on an evening.

Only thing I would say is that batter wasn’t as crispy as I would like but unsure if that’s because we collected so it may have got a little soggy. All the food remained warm for when we got home.

We tried;
Pea bomb - 8/10 (needed to be crispier but would definitely go back for more)
Battered Linda sausage - 7/10 (there are better vegan sausages to batter, perhaps the Richmond ones would be more in line with that classic chippy sausage)
Battered tofu - 10/10 (flavours and textures elite and two lots so good for sharing)
Battered fish - 10/10 (texture was so good! Scarily like fish and again good portion for sharing)
Chips - 10/10 (can’t fault - classic chippy chips)
Curry sauce - 10/10 (as per chips, cannot fault)


🤌🏼 chefs kiss 🤌🏼

If you don’t visit, then more fool you. #Veganuary

Pros: Lots of choice, Textures and flavours, Pre ordering system

Capplemans

Drove all the way from Harrogate for this ... it was so good. Had the "fish" pea bomb and chips. There was so much I couldn't finish which is rare for me. We waited a bit but worth it, to be made fresh. They did a gluten free option for hubby.
No sweet potato chips for him as he doesn't eat white potato but that's not a traditional option so don't expect it either.
On an estate with on street parking.

Great!

Been meaning to try Capplemans for a long time, finally got around to it yesterday and it was beautiful! The battered tofu is well seasoned and the portion size is great for the price. Will definitely be back!

An actual vegan menu

Tried this place tonight, loved it. Very easy to order online and choose your collection time, so it’s all cooked just in time. Very impressed, I had the vegan fish & chips, all cooked separately to non vegan food. Friendly staff, I’ll certainly be back. Love the sticker to indicate which meal was vegan as I bought a non vegan for a friend. Little thing but I like that sort of service and consideration.

Best chippy ever

We ordered: a large chips
Battered seasoned tofu
Vegan fish
Mushy pea bomb
A battered sausage
Curry sauce

I'm not a fan of "fish" flavours but the vegan fish here is nice - not wrapped in nori as we've had elsewhere. I'd order double of the battered seasoned tofu though. The best thing I've ever had from a chip shop!

The curry sauce had a nice level of heat.

I don't know how you can deep fry food and it not be oily, but Capplemans have managed it.

Lovely food! I'd like them to open near where I live!

Best Vegan fish and chips in Scarborough

An excellent Fish and Chip shop tucked away from Scarborough town centre. Great Vegan offerings. We had the Tofu fish and chips, which was amazing. The big chunky chips were perfectly cooked and the tofu was very convincing as fish. A really good price as well. Definitely recommend and worth the walk from the town centre. Will go again

Pros: A separate Vegan menu, Good price, Good food options

Cons: Not in town centre

A must,

I had the tofish, chips & mushy pea bomb. The tofish is full of flavour. I was eager to try the mushy pea bomb after reading the reviews. It most certainly did not disappoint! Really tasty. The whole meal was delicious.
If you are in Scarborough, this is most definitely a place to try for a takeaway meal.

Pros: Several vegan choices, Helpful, friendly staff , Good size portions

Great vegan choices

The tofu is really delicious, quite small pieces but really tasty and with a stack of chips as much as you need. Worth booking online for collection as can be quite busy. Beware, the sign said they don’t do vegan options on Fridays.

Pros: A whole vegan menu!, Tasty tofu, Big portions of chips

Amazing food!!

Before travelling to Scarborough I was eyeing this place up so when my meat eating family fancied some fish n chips, I suggested this place. It was easy to get to from the front, only a 4 min drive and the food was amazing!! I had the battered tofu and chips and my family has fish butties and said that was tasty too - so if you're with fish eaters, it's good to know!
10/10 would go again😀

Pros: Wide variety of vegan options, Tasty food, Good location

Tasty vegan options

No photos as I had to carry it back quickly to my holiday flat and eat it while still hot. I had a mushy pea fritter bomb (delicious), battered tofu and chips with curry sauce (all excellent). I managed to eat most of that on my own too!
Although I was able to order online for Friday Capplemans rang me to say they don't do the vegan menu on Fridays so I went for Saturday instead.

I will definitely get another takeaway from them next time I am in Scarborough.

Pros: Delicious food, Large portions, Friendly staff

Cons: Confusion re Fridays

Amazing tofu 10/10

We found this place on happy cow and I’m so glad we ventured up to find it. The tofu was delicious and my daughter had the No fish fingers.
It won’t let me give 5 stars with it not being fully vegan but the food was absolutely spot on. I’d highly recommend and will definitely go again next time we are in Scarborough

Delicious!

Great service and friendly. The lovely lady found a vegan pie for us out the back and the tofu was excellent. As a lover of mushy peas the pea bombs were outstanding and enormous, even growing teenager boy was impressed! Good portion sizes too. Separate vegan menu with good choices up on the wall and OH enjoyed the regular menu options, so suits groups with more than one way of eating. Hope we're up this way again to enjoy!!

Pros: Good choices, delicious food, Good service and on line ordering available, Tasty, lush, plentiful food

Cons: Parking may get tricky on season but worth it!

Great to have vegan options and they're really well done, too!

My partner and I had the tofu, Quorn nuggets and the battered LM sausage with chips and it was wonderful! The tofu was great - really well seasoned and not soggy at all which I was concerned about. We pre-ordered and the food was ready on time and the staff were friendly too. Overall, would recommend!

Pros: The tofu, The range of options , Value for money

Cons: Nothing

Absolutely delicious!! 🌱

First time I've got to a chippy in over a year due to not finding anything I can eat other than chips every now and again. But this place did battered tofu and chips with curry sauce which was all vegan. I was very impressed with how many options they had as well for vegans. It was like I said DE-LI-CIOUS! and would 10/10 recommend to any vegans in the area to try this. I'd defo go again! 🌱

Pros: Lots of vegan options
