Reviews in Whitby

Had the best fish and chips ever at the Magpie Cafe. We were so glad that we pre booked when we saw the queue outside. We ordered the two-person sharing platter and it didn’t disappoint! There was more than enough food and we left feeling extremely full. We would highly recommend eating here.

Great fish and chips, best I’ve ever had. Great place Great Staff Can’t wait to go again

First visit however, it will not be the last. As advised, we booked a couple of weeks in advance to avoid disappointment. Staff were so friendly and food surpassed our expectations. We all had cod and chips and easily the best we've ever had. Thank you for a lovely meal and dining experience!

Warm welcome and great service only bettered by amazing fish and chips. Probably the best scampi I’ve ever tasted!

Great Fish Friday afternoon tea. Tried the four fish platter. All my favourite fish in portions two can comfortably manage. Piping hot and as a fish and chip officianado give it 11 out of 10. Recommend it 100%

Travelled on the North York Moors Railway to Whitby, table booked overlooking the harbour for delicious fish and chips. An amazing day for a 70th birthday celebration. Thank you, Magpie Cafe.

Every time we go to Whitby we have F&C at the Magpie as they are the best. We have tried the others but the Magpie Haddock, chips and mushy peas can’t be beaten. Fantastic food. Lovely setting.

Very good meal indeed. Grilled Salmon and Halibut with Samphire and Garlic potatoes, perfectly cooked fish, good value, excellent service, online booking works well, good choice of wine too. Fantastic venue.

Visited you twice, during our 10 day holiday, we couldn't complain about anything on both of our visits. Food and service excellent. Our only mention is that we had the haddock,& prawns in a creamy leek sauce, which was served with a potatoe or salad dish, we would have preferred to have crusty bread & butter, as the side dish was too much for us all to eat.

It’s not called the best fish and chips in Yorkshire for nothing! We’ve been visiting Whitby, and dining at Magpie’s Cafe for years and the quality of the food and the service has always been excellent. The fish is beautifully cooked and flaky, the batter light and crispy and the chips delicious. Treat yourself to a large portion of mushy peas as the perfect accompaniment to a perfect meal.

First visit for 13 years and did not disappoint. Service was lovely and the food was exceptional!

Visited Magpie Cafe on Tuesday, a4th September. We were staying in Scarborough and travelled up by bus because we never miss an opportunity to our 'special' venue in Whitby. Booked in for 1600 hours. It was pouring, really pouring. with rain and we almost swam round Whitby but our spitits were high as we dreamed of our 'prawn and crab' starter. As always really enjoyed, it came up to expectations. The mains were fish pie ans plaice fillet (sadly no skate available). We both enjoyed ore excellent meal no room for afters. Our reception by the staff was great and they must have been tired towards the end of a difficult day. To avoid customers standing outside in the rain they were taking bookings and arranging to call people when their table was ready. This visit could have been so difficult but the cheerfulness of the staff and the, as always, splendid food still gave us a day to remember for all the right reasons.

Excellent food and good service,good value for money.

Best batter in whitby! A must for your fish n chips. We booked but you can also queue. A wide variety on the menu including champagne! I had the lobster thermador which was amazing.

Having recently stayed in Whitby for 4 nights we went to the Magpie Cafe on our first night. We were so pleased with our first meal that we went back for our final meal. The food we had on each occasion was stunning. The batter on the fish was so light and crisp, the best we'd ever tasted. On the second occasion I opted for the daily special of Monkfish, which again was beautifully cooked. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend this restaurant for any fish lover.

We had cod and chips it was proper cod and chips amazing

On our trip to Whitby we were looking for some lovely seafood to try. Magpies was recommended in a travel book I had. I am so glad we tried it out. The food was amazing. So fresh and delicious. Only just had room for a pudding. White chocolate bread and butter pudding.... delicious!
