With delicious food, friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere, it's the perfect place to enjoy a memorable meal in one of the Lake District's most popular destinations.
Trenchers has been serving exceptional fish and chips since 1980, when the original restaurant opened in Whitby with one simple goal: to cook fish and chips the way they should be – golden, crisp and full of flavour.
Over the past four decades, Trenchers of Whitby has become one of the UK's most celebrated fish & chip restaurants, serving award-winning fish & chips, seafood and classic British favourites all day, every day.
Its accolades include Best Restaurant in the UK at the National Fish & Chip Awards (2019 and 2026), alongside recognition in the Fry Awards Top 10 Fish & Chip Restaurants and Top 50 Takeaways in the UK (2024 and 2026).
In 2018, Trenchers expanded to Whitley Bay, where it quickly earned the same outstanding reputation. Trenchers Whitley Bay was crowned Best Restaurant in the UK at the National Fish & Chip Awards 2020 and has also featured in the Fry Awards Top 10 Fish & Chip Restaurants and Top 50 Takeaways in the UK (2024 and 2026).
Now, Trenchers is bringing that same award-winning heritage, exceptional quality and warm hospitality to Bowness-on-Windermere. Whether you're dining in or grabbing a takeaway, you can expect the same high standards that have made Trenchers a favourite with generations of customers.
The menu features everything from traditional fish & chips and fresh seafood to Goan curry, slow-cooked steak pie and delicious vegan options, including vegan fish & chips, burgers and sausages. Gluten-free dishes are also available, along with the popular Little Skippers children's menu, ensuring there's something for everyone.
