For years Warren and his Grandfather Bill, after long days out playing and watching sport, would visit their favorite local chippy Lighthouse Fisheries. Enjoying fish and chips together became a family tradition, and of the many establishments they visited over the years, Lighthouse Fisheries in Flamborough was one they would remember fondly.
‍
As it does, time passed. Warren had moved to London to pursue his career and his parents Gary and Jayne had recently returned to their hometown after a decade of running restaurants at the other side of the country. Together with Warren they decided to start a business, creating a legacy for their family and a place locals and visitors would be proud to visit.

When Lighthouse Fisheries came up for sale, they knew that they’d found the place.No stone was left unturned after purchasing the property in February 2021, a complete refurbishment to bring the building back to it’s former glory, sourcing of the highest quality local produce and suppliers, training and development from the industry’s best operators, ultimately leading to the relaunch of the Lighthouse Fisheries brand and menu. The new and improved Lighthouse Fisheries of Flamborough finally opened it’s doors for the first time in June 2021 – a moment that would’ve made Bill very proud!

Hard work, passion and dedication to bring Lighthouse Fisheries back to it’s best eventually paid off when on 1st March 2023, after a lengthy judging process, Lighthouse was awarded the UK’s Best Newcomer by The National Federation of Fish Friers and was spotlighted on the big stage.
