NOT Vegan on fridays!! - Edit
We went on a Friday the last day of our holidays in Scarborough I was really excited to have vegan fish and chips to be told they don't do vegan on Fridays!! Gutted was an understatement... The rest of the group weren't vegan so we had to get something but I was not happy!!

Hi we are sorry that we let you down, we have broadcasted it on our social media and on the shop. (I know it's impossible to inform every customer in advance)It is a temp measure we had to take due to our shop getting too overloaded on friday in these times. It was a reluctant and hopefully temporary decision we felt we had to make. We continue to offer 100 percent vegan food 6 days a week.

a treat 😁 - Edit
went here after a tiring walk at hayburn wyke, my bf had the battered sausages and I had the battered tofu because the vegan fish was sold out. it was so yummy and a real treat as a vegan it's rare to come across these things! where i live you can't even get the chips done in vegetable oil...would give 5 ⭐️ if I could. I hope to try the vegan fish next time 😋

Great to find a chippy with a vegan menu - Edit
This place is great. Has a vegan menu. They totally get it as they separate the frying of vegan food. Several customers came in and had ordered vegan grub so they're obviously doing something right. Most people seemed to order in advance and go and collect it. Be aware that vegan menu is not available on a Friday. We had a mushy pea bomb and chips. They'd run out of the fish option.
Read morePros: Vegan menu, Nice staff, Pretty clean
Cons: Serves meat and dairy, No vegan menu on a Friday

Great vegan menu! - Edit
We treat ourselves to Cappleman's vegan menu every Sunday - the whole family loves it. They have lots of choices and are very good at putting vegan stickers on all the containers so that you know it's been cooked separately. Our favourites are battered tofu, pineapple fritters, battered sausages, mushy pea bomb, curry sauce - all with chips - but there are plenty of other choices. Highly recommend.

Pros: Battered tofu, Pineapple Fritters, Linda Mc Battered Sausages
Cons: The fact that they're not 100% vegan

Nothing special - Edit
We tried the mushy pea bomb along with the tofu ‘fish’ and chips & curry sauce…I have to admit we were left a little disappointed 😞
Read moreAfter looking forward to trying Capplemans all day we found the batter to be a really greasy! The chips were just average and the tofu didn’t have much flavor, however the curry sauce saved the day.

Perfect chippy with lots of options - Edit
We ordered for collection online and they had a seperate vegan menu with lots of options, battered sausage, vegan fish, battered tofu and more. The mushy pea bomb was delicious and they have multiple vegan sauces too, we had the vegan curry sauce and it was great. Big portions too and really affordable! They even packaged my vegan things seperate from my partners fish.

Separate vegan menu and fryer - Edit
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.

Thanks for adding vegan options - Edit
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.
Read moreThis 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.

Finally! - Edit
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.
Read moreOnly 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 - Edit
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.
Read moreNo 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.

An actual vegan menu - Edit
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.

Vegan fish
Mushy pea bomb

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 - Edit
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
Read morePros: A separate Vegan menu, Good price, Good food options
Cons: Not in town centre
