The Wetherby Whaler is a family owned chain of fish and chip restaurants and takeaways. The business was founded by Phillip and Janine Murphy in Tadcaster in 1969.

In 1989 the opportunity arose to purchase our first Wetherby Whaler in Wetherby. Our first Whaler had a takeaway with a small café on the first floor, and the café represented an opportunity to develop our ambitions to provide a full service restaurant business. Special attention was paid to the décor and ambience of the restaurant and based on our guided principles we were able to develop the restaurant into a location where customers made Wetherby Whaler their destination of choice, as well as a casual drop in venue.
