Banny's Fish & Chip Restaurant

September 2012

Banny’s is quite similar to how the flagship of Harry Ramsden’s chain at Guiseley was (now owned by the Wetherby Whaler group), in their heyday. There’s plenty of parking spaces and a spacious reception area with an imposing tropical fish tank to keep you amused whilst you wait for a table, should that be necessary, of course.

Once inside, the 280 seat restaurant still allows enough space between tables and there seems to be plenty of attentive staff to keep the customer satisfied. The young Waiters and Waitresses also know how to smile and that makes you feel like they want to be there, which obviously makes for a good atmosphere. If you’re thinking of going to Banny’s, check out the menu on their website as they do a limited but adequate choice of fare. As for the quality of fare and the timely fashion in which it arrived at our table, that too was of a high standard. The fish is cooked to order (I had haddock, chips and gravy), and the chips are homemade, which I would expect from a classy looking eatery. Another good thing was that the side orders (e.g. gravy, curry, peas, etc) came in small pots, which I prefer as an alternative to having them lashed all over the fish and chips.

I suppose, if I was to criticise anything, it would be that the chips were a bit of a mixed bag. I’m guessing that they were new potatoes and they don’t cook quite like the old ones. It’s not a brilliant photo, but this was my plate on the night, judge for yourself.

By the way, the toilets were immaculate.

Would I recommend it? Yes, I would.
