I’ve tried most of the chippy’s in Filey. I think the best is probably a sit down called CJs. It’s at the top of steep road that drops down to the prom and the sea.
The walk along the beach for miles is lovely towards Reighton Sands. You’ll see Billy Butlins mansion in the cliffs and the first Butlins is further up the coast.
There’s a lovely little cove south of Filey, that’s just like being in Cornwall, called North Landing. There’s a reasonably priced good quality food place on the ramp down to the sea called Boathouse Burger and Grill, it also sells big bottles of cold San Mig for about £2. They also do cheap boat trips along the coast, and you can hire paddle boards and kayaks from there too. The pub at the top of the ramp is a bit shit. It’s a nice walk in either direction along the cliffs from there.
There’s also another excellent but a touch pricey chippy in the village of Flamborough itself.
North of Filey I’d avoid Scarborough unless you’ve got kids that would like the brilliant waterpark called Alpamare. Their outdoor pool is like a hot bath, the water slides are great and you can have a beer poolside.
Robin Hoods Bay and Whitby (Mr Chips on the other side of the river is the best sit down chippy in Whitby) are both worth a visit. As are Pickering or Malton on the way home.
