Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

We were made to feel welcome right from the start. On making our choice of food from the menu (a very good menu) we were asked if we had brought an appetite and were informed that the best way to enjoy was to take it nice and slow as if on holiday. We were very pleased with our choice the MEZE every item was first class and as informed was plentiful so much so that by the final course we had to ask for a doggy bag. Everything from start to finish was first rate we will definitely be returning.

We went yesterday & have been a few times since lockdown ended . Really enjoyed the meal. Service from Sam and John excellent, shin of beef pie fab with loads of gravy . Great value the food & good to see the menu evolving . We live in the village and its lovely to see the place working . It’s not Michelin star , but that’s not want you want . Well cooked , well presented, lovely food with happy service on a local level .

Excellent service from the start , great food and nice atmosphere. Definitely will be back

Fantastic food, great service

Best seafood in Whitby I’ve tried all of them over the years

Lovely meal and service from our favourite Whitby retaurant.

Love this place, never been disappointed in 20 years.

Took the girlfriend here for a meal, was gorgeous, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and beautiful food.

Every time we go to Whitby (which is at least twice a year ) we eat there every other night good menu but fish and chips are so good we always have them , When we get back home we never have fish and chips they can’t cook them locally . Would highly recommend the Magpie.

Lovely food, great service and a nice atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Good food as always but service is still slow 45mins before any food arrived

Wonderful meal for a special birthday and Dani and the team made it a very special occasion indeed. Great food and great hospitality at a wonderful venue. Perfect.

We were a group of 6 and had 5 different meals and they were excellent . It is a while since we’ve been in Whitby and the Magpie but we were not disappointed.

Loved everything about this place. Amazing food, amazing service, fair prices. Will return again and again and again etc.

On a mini break to York, thought we would try something different. Not sorry, very flavoursome food, we even cooked it ourselves at the table! An option which is available in keeping with Korean custom. Good and attentive service and value for money. Wine list very limited though

Everything I was hoping for !

Visited The Magpie on our recent wedding anniversary, which is not an event where one wants to take chances. I think my first visit was in 1970 and I have enjoyed many wonderful meals over the years. Our latest visit was no exception; the food was delicious. The service was good, but it was far busier than I would have expected mid-week in October. My only criticisms are that garlic seems to intruding and the Chablis was £36. I feel that garlic is acceptable with mussels, but not with any other fish. Sorry, but fish usually has a delicate flavour which can easily be swamped. Allow at least an extra half hour if you are travelling by car, as parking has become a nightmare. It is probably the reason why we usually go to Filey these days.
