Find out what Bar restaurants to try in Whitby. Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Borough of Scarborough and English county of North Yorkshire. It is located within the historic boundaries of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has an established maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. The fishing port developed during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was (along with the nearby fishing village of Staithes) where Captain Cook learned seamanship.

We've just got back from celebrating my husbands 80th birthday at The Stables along with all our family, ranging from two months to eighty! We had an evening meal, overnight stay and breakfast for eighteen of us. My husband and I had been there several times and decided that it was special enough for his birthday and we were confident that the family would be happy there! We were not wrong !! From us all arriving at different times yesterday we were all made so welcome. The staff were amazing. So friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Our rooms were just beautiful, especially The Lodge, with the sauna and hot tub. The whole ambience of the restaurant was perfect, and the outside with the views, and the pond, was lovely for photographs. Our meal last night could not be faulted, we all had something different and we were all delighted with the delicious food. As we all were with the breakfast this morning. We had a room to ourselves for our evening meal, and I was amazed at the service when the restaurant was full and there was another large party in. I cannot fault The Stables in any way and will be visiting there again on our next trip to Whitby. Thank you all for making my husband's birthday so special, I couldn't have asked for any more!

Went and has a nice lunch in the rear beer garden and enjoyed it. It was friendly and welcoming with good service. So we booked in for dinner later that evening. It was dog friendly in the bar area. The menu was adequate and we had a nice meal. All the staff were pleasant.

Ate here on our first night in Whitby, staff are always warm and welcoming at this bar. We ate upstairs it wasnât noisy or over crowded but had a lovely ambience.On recommendation I had the chicken with sweet potato purée which was delicious and just the right portion size, my husband had the seafood linguini which he also enjoyed. We have wanted to dine here for sometime and it was worth the wait.

The first time I went here I literally couldn't get in the door because it was so packed. My second attempt was much more successful. Small front bar, slightly larger back back. Decent ales on cask on the bar. Good atmosphere. Recommended.

We were very impressed by this little gastro pub just above Whitby. Pleasant, bright dining room and efficient staff. And a menu with a good range of choices. We had the leek, potato and cheddar soup and the lamp rump. Both excellent. As New Zealanders we think we're experts in lamb of course(!) and in all honesty the dish we were served was excellent; quality meat, perfectly cooked. If we lived in the area I suspect we'd become regulars.

Many many years since I last visited and indeed stayed here. Inside is just as welcoming, and the food has certainly gone up a notch since last visit. Beautifully cooked and presented to a very high standard. Service is fine despite being advised that every dish is freshly made and only the dessert took a long time but was worth waiting for. There are no menus as everything is displayed on the blackboards around the old fireplace. Choosing, even for a non meat eater like me, was a challenge as all the dishes sound delicious and several choices of fish. Would recommend booking as even though we arrived early on a Thursday evening all the tables were reserved or taken. After a drink outside in the beer garden we were told we could have a table inside as the people who had reserved were late. Is dog friendly.

Caravanning nearby, we popped in for Sunday carvery as recommended to us. Sat outside on one if the hottest days of the year. Sunday lunch was roast beef or pork. Amazing large slices of meat served with mash, roasties, mushy peas etc..A proper old fashioned Sunday lunch with fabulous gravy. Reasonably priced. My little boy said the beef was the best ever...! Wish we lived nearer.. but will return next time we are in area!

Stayed here in one of the new Shepherds Huts and enjoyed a great stay! Our first time glamping experience was definitely a success. Really well kitted out hut, comfy bed, sofa, TV and drinking facilities. All very clean and well maintained, with good facilities for toilet & shower. Full english breakfast was awesome! A quick taxi trip in/out of town if you donât like to walk. Thanks to Ben and his team for a great stay (and your mum was a superb breakfast host!) and the pub locals were extremely welcoming too!
