Amazing!

It’s been such a long time since I’ve had such amazing chips and the pea fritter was a first and won’t be the last!
Curry sauce was lovely too! I’d give this 5* if I was allowed 🤣

Pea fritter is a winner!

Shared chips, vegan mayo, vegan sausage, pea fritter.... Good size portion of chips, pea fritter is unreal!

Pros: Right in the middle of Whitby, Vegan choices not just chips

Robertson's

Its nice to see a chip shop with several vegan options. It was very clean, and the food was cooked to order.
The menu was a bit confusing, as there were two different vegan menus with different options.
I was a bit let down by the battered sausages, they were sausages actually made from vegetables rather than meat substitute and I think they would've been nicer if they were soy meat or something like that.

Pros: Several vegan options, Food cooked to order

Cons: Battered sausages weren't very nice, Confusing vegan menu

Love chip shop chippies

Great food for everyone. I’m vegan, but other people in my family aren’t. This was a great place to cater for all. I got chips, pea fritter (was amazing!) and onion rings.

Happy cow said this place was closed, but we went anyway because vegan options are very limited around here. It was open! Amazing!

Pros: Good selection of vegan options, Food tastes great

Great chippy

Not many chippies in Whitby do a vegan offer that isn’t a re-heated falafel burger. We’re an omni family with a vegan so robertson’s is great as it caters for everyone. Chips are proper chip shop chips as well, very yummy.

Just be aware of opening times. Everything shuts a little earlier than we were expecting for peak season and robertsons isn’t open Mondays or Tuesdays, which caught us out early part of our holiday.

Pros: Proper chip shop chips, Battered vegan sausage

Cons: Opening times

Delicious pea fritter and chips

Absolutely delicious chips and pea fritter in gluten free batter! Very clear vegan and gluten free menus. Also nice you can help yourself to salt, ketchup and vinegar

Nice vegan food

I had the pea fritter, battered onion rings, chips and curry sauce. All of which were very nice, although burned my tongue on the peas 😬 my own fault!
The only downsides are they don't only offer vegan food and their waiting room is outside on narrow, busy street (when Whitby is busy). I'm being a bit harsh, but it is what it is.

Pros: Nice vegan food, Very nice onion rings and curry sauce, Cool staff

Cons: Very small, awkward customer area

Robertsons Chippy

Chip shop offering a vegan menu and cooking vegan food to order in a separate fryer in veg oil. I had the mushy pea fritter and chips, both were nice but would be great to see tofish/banana blossom on offer. Most other chip shops in this area cook in non vegan fat though so it is great they are providing some options for vegans here.

Really great food & price

Loved the pea fritters (battered mushy peas) chips & tartare sauce. Variety of vegan sauces & also good selection of fizzy pop. Plastic free cartons & forks. Staff were lovely too. Take out only, decent prices.

Delicious chips

Was informed that these chips are cooked in their own separate vegan fryer and in vegetable oil. Authentic tasting seaside chips.

Pros: Great taste , Vegan menu

Cons: Serves meat

Fab and tasty vegan menu - vegan fish addition please

So excited to see a full vegan menu in the window! Husband and I got a few different vegan things to try - battered veg sausages, battered pea fritter and veg nuggets - along with two portions of chips. First off, the chips were FAB. Just really fresh and not greasy. Same with the batter - plus very spiky so lots of crispy bits. And the homemade garlic mayo OMG droolworthy and so garlicky. For the mains, I loved the sausage (which I think is homemade) but husband said it was nice but nothing too special. Pea fritter was tasty and different, if a bit stodgy. Nuggets were nice too. I’d like an option that is a bit more “fish”y/meaty in texture if that makes sense - maybe tofish, or mushroom scallops or something with a different less mushy texture. We still loved the choice and we’ll be back.

Pros: Yay for a vegan menu, Excellent chips, batter and mayo

Cons: More vegan mains choice please?

Delicious mushy pea fritter, the chips and gravy were divine too and the tartar sauce was lush as well- we were told all their sauces are now made vegan which is great! Full dedicated vegan menu and fast friendly service!

Pros: Vegan menu, Separate fryer , Friendly service

Veg oil

Veg sausage was a bit soggy, not very crispy but that could’ve been the box. Decent chips but really nice garlic mayo and curry sauce. Just nice to be able to get something in Whitby and more than just chips too! Nice and efficient staff too.

Pros: Vegan mains, Vegan sauces , Only one that fries in veg oil

Cons: Not crispy

Lovely chips cooked separately in veg oil

Quite a few vegan options, we just had chips with vegan tartare sauce and they were probably the best chips we've ever had ☺️

Best Vegan Chippy in Whitby

Having lived in Whitby, but now a frequent visitor and lover of a chip shop, I’ve tried ‘em all in Whitby. The legendary Magpie is great but it’s overpriced for what you get and everything is fried in dripping.

On my most recent visit I went to Chips Away - Robertson’s Chip Shop - the green one over the bridge and on the left (see image). Part take away and part restaurant it caters for all and when I say all, I mean all … it’s got a gluten free menu and a vegan menu (see image). Being vegans, it was a nice surprise to find out they have a dedicated deep fat fryer for vegan options - the food was great and the portions were huge. Ask for scraps too, big ones here. I’d give it 5 stars if I could.

Pros: Full vegan menu, Big portions cooked to order, Clean and quick

Cons: Errr none!

Good options

They cook the chips and vegan items in a separate fryer. Very good chips and gravy. The pea fritter was decent. The veggie sausage is basically mash with veggies- not a meat substitute style sausage.

Pleasantly surprised to find this place!

We saw a big sign in the window with their gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. They fry in vegetable oil so you can just pop in to order. Battered sausage, nuggets and burgers, with chips, curry sauce and mushy peas as well! We had the sausage which is made out of vegetables (rather than being a meat substitute) it was pretty good! The curry sauce was awesome.

Good options

Separate vegan menu and everything is cooked on veg oil. I was excited to try a pea fritters but it was just battered mushy peas so I wasn’t a fan. Their veggie sausages were the smushed vegetable type but had a nice herby flavour.

Pros: Separate vegan menu, Vegan sauces , No beef dripping smell!

Cons: No deep fried vegan chocolate 🤣

Amazing!

Not been able to find a chippy that does vegan stuff for as long as I have been vegan, was very excited to try this place and wasn't let down. I had vegetables sausage with chips and curry sauce, and a battered pineapple ring to finish. All of it was delicious! Can't recommend enough if you're visiting Whitby, I'll definitely be back 😁

Pros: Lots of vegan stuff, delicious food, reasonably pr
