The best fish & chips I’ve ever had!

We visited the magpie 4 times during our weeks stay in Whitby. Each time the food & service was brilliant. Can’t wait to come back.

First time visiting Whitby and after doing a bit of research into the best fish and chips decided to prebook a table. What a good choice . Loved it and saw Jane McDonald about to go in filming a few hours before and knew it was going be the best. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Visited Maxis on the night of their anniversary (22 years), visited several times before and always a fantastic atmosphere. Staff always smiling and can’t do enough for people. Temperatures still taken at the door despite most places now no longer bothering with Covid restrictions. Food was as fabulous as always. Would recommend the special banquet, fabulous selection of food and they are always happy to box up any leftovers. (Which is every time so far for us). Even given a lollipop as we left despite me being in my 50s!

Steak was lovely!

Disappointing start as they were full and I’d made a booking. They allow same day bookings but then claim they don’t get informed about same day bookings so don’t reserve a table. I’m guessing normally they can cope with this but there was an event on at the arena so the area was packed. Why not put something on your web site to avoid this?

The second time we have been here both times very busy as good food places should be. The food was great will be back again when next in Morley.

Delightful place and food, well recommend!

Our trips to Whitby would never be complete without a trip to the Magpie, it’s a tradition and one the Magpie never fail to withhold. Splendid fresh fish dishes, the Oysters are to die for and the Halibut is just so tasty. All in all superb food in a super atmosphere. Thanks Magpie, we will be back soon.

Had a 45min wait for the food but it was worth it.

Delicious food and excellent service

Never miss an opportunity to eat out at the Magpie. Everything was amazing as always and the staff and service are fantastic. Until the next time, which hopefully wont be too long.

Excellent food. Freshly cooked. Service was superb. Try the calamari as a starter and lobster Thermidor for main. Simply divine. Great prices. A real treat during our stay in Whitby. Thank you.

Have been eating at the Magpie Cafe many times and it never disappoints us, the staff are always friendly and willing to help you make the right choice from the extensive menu.

Last visited here a few years ago and wanted to visit again for a birthday treat Wasn't disappointed at all, excellent food, waitress was exemplary and very attentive and an all round good night out. Pleased I booked well in advance as it was very busy.

Lived up to expectations, could not fault the service and food. Great varied menu. Well worth waiting for.

The food was gorgeous. Oysters are certainly the best, huge and juicy. Very friendly staff. Only one thing I’d recommend to improve: size of the tables. We could hardly fit our order on our table for two. I understand the issue might be cafe is too popular for making more space. But comfortable tables would make this place perfect.
