For decades, our signature golden batter has given Wetherby Whaler fish its unmistakable crunch. Behind every crisp coating is a carefully balanced recipe, years of experience and pride in getting every detail right.

Simple Ingredients. Expertly Combined.

Our batter begins with a special blend of plain flour, cooled water, a touch of seasoning and precisely measured baking powder.

The secret lies in how we bring them together. From the order we add the ingredients to the mixing time, exact quantities and refrigeration timings, every step helps deliver the consistency and quality we’re known for.

The Art of Frying

At the frying pans, preparation meets expertise. We adjust the batter to just the right consistency, while carefully controlling the temperature and depth of the frying medium.

Then our skilled fryers put their techniques to work, creating the golden, crispy finish that makes every bite so satisfying.

At Wetherby Whaler, we believe great fish and chips are an art—and one we’re proud to practise every day.

A Crunch with Something Extra

Our batter isn’t just delicious. It’s also lower in calories than most other Yorkshire batter mixes, giving our signature crunch another reason to stand out.
