Food & Drink in Filey: Where to Eat

You can eat very well around Filey without going far. There is a pub, cafe and pizzeria on the resort itself, proper Yorkshire fish and chips a few minutes down the road, and everything from a promenade snack with a sea view to a sit-down pub dinner. Here are our favourites. Opening times change with the season, so it is worth checking before you set off.

On The Bay

Easiest of all, the resort has its own pub, cafe and pizzeria, so on the night you arrive, or after a long day on the beach, you do not need to get back in the car. Handy for a quick family meal, or a drink once the children are asleep.

Fish and chips in Filey

Filey takes its fish and chips seriously. Inghams, right by the beach in the town centre, is a long-standing favourite with generous portions. Dicky Bees is Filey’s oldest chippy, going since 1932. CJ’s on Murray Street and The Brown Room on Union Street are both well liked, with takeaway and sit-in options. On the promenade, Walkers Snack Shack does hot and cold food with outdoor seating over the beach.

Pubs and pub dinners

For a proper pub meal, The Star is a family-run favourite with the traditional line-up of fish and chips, burgers and steaks. Filey has a good scattering of traditional pubs in and around the town centre for a pint and a bite.

Coffee, cake and picnics

The Filey Deli and Coffee Shop in the heart of town does freshly made sandwiches, cakes and pastries, ideal for stocking a picnic before a walk on the Brigg or a day on the sand.

Stocking up for self-catering

There is a shop on the resort for essentials and forgotten bits. For a bigger self-catering shop, Filey town has supermarkets a few minutes away, so you can fill the fridge and make the most of the cottage kitchen, dishwasher and separate living room.

Caramel Cottage is a dog-friendly, family-friendly cottage for six at The Bay, Filey, with a full kitchen and a charcoal BBQ for eating outdoors. Book direct through Filey Bay Direct and pay the best price.
