A pot of tea
and the harbour outside
A harbourside fish and chip restaurant on Pier Road, Whitby. Big plates of battered fish, fresh local seafood and a pot of tea, with the harbour just outside the window.

Every visitor to Whitby notices the queue on Pier Road: out in all weathers, in every season, waiting for fish and chips. We are known through North Yorkshire and beyond for the quality of our fish, and our reputation rests on nothing fancier than good food and good service, given with a bit of Yorkshire wit.

There is a full wine menu if you fancy a glass with your fish, but the house habit is a stainless steel pot of tea with milk in a jug, poured while you wait for your plate. If you would rather eat looking at the boats, the takeaway counter next door will sort you out.
If you would rather eat by the water, the takeaway counter next door serves under the striped awning. For the dining rooms we do recommend booking, especially in season, and please note that inside we can only welcome assistance dogs.

The batter comes up again and again: light, crisp and never greasy, over fish that flakes clean off the fork. The chips are fresh and fluffy inside, the portions generous and the prices called fair.
The service gets nearly as much praise as the fish: friendly, honest and quick, with a bit of Yorkshire warmth and none of the fuss.
Plenty of visitors say they book a table on every trip to Whitby, some twice in the same week, and that the fresh seafood, the oysters especially, is worth planning a day around.
