The Wetherby Whaler is a chain of fish and chips restaurants in the United Kingdom. The first restaurant was founded in 1989 in Wetherby with four more having been subsequently opened across Yorkshire.[1][2]

History

Phillip and Janine Murphy founded the Wetherby Whaler restaurant in 1989 having worked in fishery in Tadcaster since 1969.[3][4]

The second restaurant in the chain was opened in 1990 in Pudsey.[3] More branches were opened thereafter; York in 1996 (which was expanded in 2014),[5] Wakefield in 2001 and Guiseley in 2012.[2]

Guiseley fish and chip shop Harry Ramsden's was acquired by the Wetherby Whaler in 2012 for £500,000.[6][7] Considered by reviewers in The Metro and The Guardian to be the "spiritual home" of fish and chips,[1][7][8][9] Harry Ramsden's had gone into administration six months before the sale due to financial issues.[10]

A charity musical performance with a storyline based on fish and chips was held at the Guiseley restaurant in 2016.[11]

Reception

Reviews of the Wetherby Whaler restaurants have been generally favourable. Yorkshire Life identified the Wetherby Whaler as one of the best fish and chip shops[12] and the best gluten-free restaurant[13] in Yorkshire. The Yorkshire Evening Post also placed the Leeds branch among its list of top restaurants in the city.[14] The restaurants' gluten-free menus have received praise from several coeliac restaurant reviewers.[15][16]

On National Fish and Chips Day, the restaurants offer a large meal as part of the "Impossible Fish 'n' Chips Challenge" which is traditionally attempted by local news reporters and restaurant reviewers, to varying degrees of success.[17][18]

In January 2017, The Wetherby Whaler won the National Federation of Fish Friers Fish and Chip Quality Award after an inspection based on hygiene standards, staff training and food quality.[19][20]

Charity involvement

The Wetherby Whaler regularly sponsors regional awards including the Yorkshire Choice Awards[21] and the Yorkshire Young Achievers Award.[22][23]

In 2015, the Yorkshire Air Ambulance awarded the chain a corporate sponsor recognition award for the fundraising they have done since 2012.[24][25]
