Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

We have visited before and booked in advance as we know how busy it gets. We both had fish and chips with a side of mushy peas which was delicious. I had the small which was more than enough for me, lovely crispy batter and flaky fish. A trip to the Magpie is a must when you come to Whitby.

A visit to celebrate my 81st birthday and to relive previous visits. Our booked table happened to be number 18! Tradition has it that we start by sharing a crab and prawn starter but it wasn't on the menu. Our fantastic waitress said she was sure that it could be provided - and it was! Main courses were sea food pie and skate and chips. Both, as usual, superb - and filling. A lady on a neighbouring table was celebrating her birthday. That, and the friendly conversation we shared, really made the atmosphere special. So well filled that I didn't have anything else to eat until suppertime. Thanks to the kitchen staff, the warm waitress and The Magpie for making this so special, When can I go to Whitby Again? Soon, please.

My dinner was absolutely fantastic. Great service. So pleased we went.

Visited on a cold 30th June . Service was excellent from start to finish , the starters of whitebait and crab bisque were great , albeit the whitebait portion size was huge. Main courses were equally as good , with the scampi and chips being well received and the pan fried scallops, prawns, halibut and salmon dish was superb . Can't fault it.

Excellent fish & chips the best in the world by far, looking forward to returning in August.

No trip to Whitby is complete without a meal at the Magpie. We had one holiday when we didn't go and that holiday has never been spoken of again. Without doubt my favourite fish and chips in the world

Our meal was wonderful and the staff were excellent.

Excellent as ever

The well known Magpie Cafe wasn't a disappointment. Extremely busy but well organised. Staff friendly and efficient therefore, good service. The haddock and chips were delicious, fish lovely and white. You are best to book beforehand.

In all honesty, it was the best seafood I have had in the U.K. the service was great and very friendly atmosphere!! Value for money and a great evening. Thank you:) the specials were amazing and the menu was really good. We will be back. Highly recommended!!

Very disappointed! Went for the oysters and mussels, they didn't have either. The seafood pot was nice though. Was overcharged on the bill, but the staff were nice and corrected the bill immediately. Such a shame, I had been looking forward to going to Magpies ☹

A lovely place to relax and unwind. The staff were welcoming and gave great service and the food was excellent. I will definately go back again.

Great fish and chips

Magpie Cafe is a must when visiting Whitby. Haddock & Chips was delicious and jam roly-poly was the best I have ever eaten

We visited on James Martins recommendation and we weren’t disappointed, we order fish and chips and a seafood hotpot and both were delicious, staff were all very friendly too - well worth a visit !

We had a table for 6 in the window on the ground floor. Booked online several weeks in advance and all went well with the booking. Service was friendly and excellent, engaged nicely with us with plenty of laughter. Food also excellent, both fish and vegetarian. Eton mess for dessert particularly good, and one of our number unusually for him defeated by the size of his ice cream dessert. A lovely family evening.

Really good food and friendly service! A huge menu to choose from; we shared battered monk fish tail and chips, a scallop starter that was on the specials board, some sauteed squid and a piece of poached salmon with garlic butter, and found it all to be of a high quality.
