Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

It was ok. Disappointed at the lack of vegetarian options but the appetiser I had was nice with a Greek salad and dip. It did feel rushed, we were told when we walked in (after being told off for being late coming at 6.15 instead of 6, but they were not exactly busy so really no need to book) that they needed the table back at 8 which is fine. But once we were sat they came very quickly to take orders and we had to send them away three times which was beginning to get awkward. Then when we were finishing they came to clear the table whilst I was still eating - admittedly I was only eating bread and dip so I can understand. We ordered deserts, the cheesecake was lovely but the other filo pasty set custard thingy was a little eggy which we didn’t enjoy. Overall, expensive and average, there are some other beautiful cheeped Greek restaurants hull with beautiful veggie and vegan options. Would not recommend.

Amazing value for money and lovely food, staff very friendly, highly recommend

Was very epic, visited with a girl who speaks Korean and she loved it. Was served by a man with a Scottish accent who was great, definitely would come back :))

We had booked a table and was shown straight to table food wonderful monk fish and butter bean fantastic loads of monk fish .Grilled plaice lovely. All the staff really friendly and helpful. Made our holiday.

Food was outstanding, staff were very friendly, a proper family run Independant restaurant. The only slight down side was the decor but that wouldn’t stop me going back.

Great service, nice view Fish and chips was perfect... n8ce choice of fish size, to suit me and mother. Chips were delicious as were mushy peas In summary. Superb

Even though it was over 60 years since I last dined with my parents at the Magpie, the quality is undiminished. The service is as good as ever and it will not be another 60 years before my wife and I return!

Excellent food and service, had wonderful crab and traditional fish and chips but lots of other options on the menu

Really great lunch - very tasty and staff were very nice

Comfortable place with friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Food is very good, traditional and home cooked. Definitely worth a visit

Brilliant as always, best Chinese in York!

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal lovely quality and a great selection. Fish pie and haddock and prawns in a leek sauce, delicious.

Such good value for money. Food was lovely and the atmosphere was great especially for a Tuesday.

Nice food, decent service.

Lovely mackerel starter followed by perfect haddock & chips. Efficient and friendly service and good selection of beers. Highly recommended!

We were very happy with the food and the service that we received.

Food, service and value is fabulous every time I go , excellent

This was our first visit to The Magpie on the recommendation of friends and seeing the queues outside we thought it must be good. I had already booked a table for a special occasion and informed them beforehand. I thought that it might have been noted but we were shown to our table and alas, it wasn’t but never mind. We ordered our food which was very nice but I felt that the chips were on the pale side to be honest. We thought we couldn’t go wrong with traditional fish, chips and mushy peas with a cup of tea or two. The food was sufficient for us and when our waitress asked if we wanted any desserts which we declined. She went away and returned less than a minute later with the bill and asked how we were going to pay ! Although the food was very nice, plentiful and hot, I felt as though we were being rushed to leave as soon as we’d finished our food. I found that a little disappointing and unnecessary as we had not finished our drinks. It didn’t spoil our visit but it didn’t sit well with me. If we were to visit Whitby in the future, we probably will eat there again but I would also consider other places in the area so we have some comparisons.
