Reviews in Whitby

Lovely birthday meal with friends. Food as always excellent. Friendly service with a smile including a little birthday cake. Nothing was too much. Great atmosphere. Very clean.

Been coming for over 50 years, standards have never dropped, food, service and value, top class. You won't get better fish and chips.

Lovely meal, great service. Nice to find somewhere that give the choice of how you want your fish cooked(fried, poached or grilled) and a choice of chips or potatoes.

Great Food that was fresh and really tasty. If you have a shellfish allergy they will try to accommodate your request which is amazing as most restaurants in Whitby don't anymore. Also book in advance as they are fully booked even in the winter season. Highly Recommend a visit to this restaurant.

Thoroughly enjoyed cod and chip supper 2 November. Returned next night to try the curried prawns - delicious. Lo Nice venue, and excellent staff.

Thought we would just drop in, Monday early evening etc. but wow so glad we booked! The restaurant was heaving with diners. Service, menu choice and wine list were outstanding. From traditional fish and chips to oysters or lobster a feast awaits. It’s fame is fully deserved don’t accept a cheap imitation.

We had a fabulous meal - midweek for my lad's 12th birthday. We clicked off with creamy oysters that tasted of the sea. Then a seafood pot - wow, monkfish - yum and haddock and chips for the birthday boy. Proper seafood, well cooked, proper portions in wonderful Whitby - what's not to like?

Booked a table for 5 and a 3month old baby, the staff enquired wether we wanted a high chair or a baby bouncer which we thought was very kind. The food and service was fantastic the menu was full of tasty dishes, between us we had steak and fish dishes the steaks were cooked perfectly ,and the fish was fresh and tasty would definitely recommend

We didn't feel very covid secure lots of coughing in the restaurant the fish was very mediocre very soggy batter

Had a most superb meal. I have eaten lobster Thermidor all over the world but this was the best and the cheapest. Absolutely incredible.

Visited the Magpie cafe on 12 Nov. Had to try the fish and chips and fish pie had been recommended so my daughter and I shared. Regular size battered cod; more than enough. Both dishes delicious. Light batter, fluffy chips and creamy fish pie with plenty of fish. Service good, friendly staff. Lovely

Fantastic food fantastic people fantastic service we have been visiting you for over 15 years and will continue

By far the best food we had all week. Never fails.

Great food, quick service and a great 3 course offer. The portions are very genrous and staff very firendly.

It was an awful experience; 8.45pm service. Staff did their best, but clearly tired. Very little on the advertised menu was available; no ventilation; extremely hot. Management team not present; unfortunately had to sit adjacent to an awful party celebrating a most gross, obscene man celebrity his 50th birthday; we had to listen to the most obscene language I have ever heard; then moving on to anecdotes about date rape Pure class and changed us £90 for the “privilege “ Never again

Super meal, welcome on arrival could have been a bit better. Service at the table was good. Fabulous fish and chips!

I was given a copy of the recipe book a number of years ago and was very excited to have the opportunity to sample some of the dishes at the restaurant. Tjis fid not disappoint. A lovely setting, very pleasant staff and lovely food.

Excellent food and service- been many times and the Magpie always lives up to expectations! Fabulous gluten free choices, including deserts! Staff knowledgeable and friendly.
