Reviews in Whitby

Staff and food excellent. We go to Whitby from Cheshire for two things. The Magpie cafe and the steam trains. Never disappointed.

From start to finish, the food and portions were just amazing (the mint crisp dessert deserves a special mention) along with the staff and their enthusiasm made our evening a night to remember. Saw brilliant reviews prior to our trip and we’re not left disappointed.

After 30 years the food is still as good.

Fantastic evening meal with the family and our new baby Grandchild. Food was excellent as was the service . Provided a highchair for my Grandchild and also a bouncy chair. Would highly recommend a meal here .

Visiting Whitby and advised this was the fish and chips place to visit. Read on-line best to book which I did. Food was a good fish n chips shop, not fatty and freshly cooked to order. Batter light and no skin on cod. Did get our bill before we asked for it but with a ‘please finish your drinks’. Very busy and felt very much in and next one due. Takeaway shop downstairs.

Had a lovely fish and chips lunch here, very tasty best I’ve had in a long time. Four different types of fish all delicious. Scampi was amazing too! Great service,I would love to eat here again but it’s too far away for me. Good value too!

As usual we had a excellent meal, fish/chips for myself and salmon with white fish and prawns and a creamy leek sauce for my wife, Gillian. The service was sensible, efficient and friendly, your anchovies are, and I am a connoisseur of anchovies! the best ever as pre meal nibbles. Although I must say the bread and butter pudding wasn’t much. As we live in Whitby we still consider that yours is still the best restaurant in town.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience from start to finish can't wait to come back !

Visited the Magpie during a short break to the Yorkshire coast. It was very busy - must be popular, who'd have guessed?! - but when we arrived we were seated and served promptly and didn't have to wait long for drinks or food. Our meals were excellent - but one thing I will say: the portions were large, too large! I'd have been happier with two thirds of the quantity (at, say, 80% of the price) rather than see so much go to waste as even I could not clear my plate.

Absolutely lovely experience on every level, from customer service to food to die for. Highly recommend The Magpie Cafe. Value for money, amazing food and customer service was superb. We will be back! Thank you.

Had a great meal. Starters were amazing. Fresh mussels, fresh king prawns & lovely crab meat. I had the fish pie which was fantastic. Full of beautiful salmon & prawns. Massive pie. Would definitely return.

Fab food and great service!

Their own made whitby crab pate was as delicious as ever and their lobster Thermidor was a treat, lovely and sweet.

As a family we often go to Whitby and always eat at the magpie cafe. Have never been disappointed with the food or service The staff are always very friendly and helpful

Visited The Magpie after seeing James Martin Chef recommending it, stating they were the best fish and chips in the country. He was right, the fish and chips were gorgeous and the service was impeccable and I can’t wait for the time I can visit The Magpie again to repeat the experience. Thank you
