What Can I Expect
Your invitation for a York Fish and Chips boat trip! A river boat tour from York city centre, with freshly cooked fish and chips delivered for you to eat onboard during your trip. That sounds like the perfect adventure afloat in historic York to us!
The river boat will be ready for boarding before departure from the King Staith's landing stage, on the waterfront just along from Tower Gardens. Sailing times vary according to the time of year, with earlier afternoon times in the winter months and early evening start times in the summer.
Freshly cooked, wrapped in a box and delivered by award-winning takeaway MrChippy, your fish and chip meal really makes this York river boat trip. The husband and wife team has been running this hugely popular chip shop since 2001. Customers love the crispy batter and light, fluffy and golden chips cut from Yorkshire's finest potatoes.
If it's nice, clement weather, taking your fish and chips to eat outside on the open deck of the boat is a must. After all, everyone knows fish and chips taste better when eaten in the fresh air!
Whilst you're tucking into your delicious chippy tea, you will see all the sights of York as you float on by. It's lovely to spot the landmarks from the point of view of the water - and pretty amazing when you glide underneath those Victorian bridges spanning the River Ouse.
There will be a nice mix of background music and live commentary whilst you're onboard, making for a relaxed friendly and fun atmosphere. What's more, there's a licensed bar and cafe, so you can enjoy anything from a pint, to a freshly brewed cup of tea with your fish and chips during your boat tour.
