The 13 best spots for nachos in Whitby

Great location with a terrace overlooking the harbour. Large and spacious with tables spread out - very comfy. Food was good especially the whitebait which was amazing. My husbands white fish was a little overdone but otherwise would definitely return here.

Abbey Wharf is a wonderfully welcoming spot with incredibly friendly staff who make the visit feel special from the moment you arrive. The views are absolutely stunning—worth the trip alone—and it’s great to see access for all, including wheelchair users. We tried the new Craven cod, and it was awesome—plentiful, satisfying, and beautifully cooked. We also had the salmon, which was epic, and the burgers, which the boys loved. I wouldn’t go so far as to claim it’s the very best fish and chip shop in Whitby, but it’s definitely up there. Highly recommended, especially for that amazing view and thoughtful accessibility.

A great place for seafood in Whitby. Lots of seats and dog friendly too. Really enjoyed the white bait, haddock fishcake and mussels. Highly recommended!

Dog friendly place for really good food and drinks inn heart of Whitby. We had mussels, huge portions well cooked and with lovely chips and bread for sauce dipping 👌 cod and chips very good, calamari and chips again very good, friendly service great location lots of space, live Music on a Saturday night. If you are in Whitby I would definitely recommend a visit

A great place to dine by the harbour with a lively atmosphere. The food is delicious – the fish pie is especially good and highly recommended. It’s dog-friendly too, which makes it an even better spot to relax and enjoy a meal while taking in the views of Whitby.

* Beautiful Balcony: The venue features an extensive balcony that wraps around the building, offering stunning panoramic views of the Whitby harbour, including the East and West Piers. This seems to be a major highlight for many visitors, who enjoy watching the boats and the general hustle and bustle of the town from this vantage point. Some reviews specifically mention being able to sit on the balcony with a drink or meal and soak in the atmosphere. * Very Spacious: Abbey Wharf is frequently described as a very spacious venue. It has a large restaurant area that can seat over 250 guests, a mezzanine level for larger parties and reservations, and a separate takeaway area. The generous space creates a relaxed atmosphere, accommodating different elements of food, drink, and live music without feeling cramped. The building itself is a Grade II listed building, formerly a covered market and then a factory, which likely contributes to its large, open layout. In addition to the balcony and spaciousness, other positive points from reviews include: * Food: A menu with a strong focus on seafood, as well as meat dishes and vegetarian/gluten-free options. The fish is sourced from local suppliers and the steaks are from a local butcher. * Drinks: A well-stocked bar with over 20 gins, its own beer brewed by Whitby Brewery, and a variety of other drinks. * Atmosphere: A relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere during the day, which becomes livelier in the evenings with live music events. It's also dog-friendly in certain areas. * Views: Beyond the balcony, the restaurant and mezzanine levels also offer great views of the harbour through panoramic windows.

Lively atmosphere, great views. Does the basics on food well. Dog friendly. Staff seem a little over it. Expensive on the drinks and extras. Felt a touch exploited by the cost of drinks really. bar staff had lost the will to live a little… you decide on value, receipt in photo. It’s a reliable and friendly place overall - always busy.

We came earlier this year and loved it that much we've been back 3 times on our current trip. Cocktails are really lovely 😍 Dinner was amazing try the seafood linguine you won't be disappointed. Breakfast of champions. Lots of choices. The service here is impeccable 👌

Just spent 2 nights here for our 30th wedding anniversary. The room was perfect, we stayed in the Martini suite. Lovely decor, spacious and a comfy bed. The view was an added bonus as well! The staff were all lovely and couldn't do enough for you. We opted to have breakfast in our room, which was spot on. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was a posh restaurant in Whitby and we ordered lobster, steak, stone bass, and seafood pasta. It doesn’t have a view as the shops cross the street blocked it. Overall we enjoyed it for the special occasion.

Looked a nice place 2 cocktails for 15 pound sounded nice, however you could not get different cocktails they had to be the same, I asked for a porn star martini which cost 12 pound so went back and asked if I could do the 15 pound deal to be told that cocktails was not included. I realise there was a list of cocktails but felt the staff could have been a bit more helpful. We would have stayed and come back but not now

Didn't stay in the hotel just popped in for a drink and lunch. Everything was really good excellent service. So good I even decided to go back in the morning for breakfast will definitely be back next time I'm in whitby and it's even dog friendly

We were here on holiday last week, and visited this restaraunt pretty late in the evening, but they could not have been more helpful in seating us, and getting us menu's. The staff were very good, explaining everything, service was quick, and the food was delicious, especially those hanging kebabs! Definitley will be back next time we visit.

Lovely setting inside this evening. We both had Chef's specials, Hake with Sag aloo & Bhaji was excellent but the chef's fish pie was disappointing, description was white fish, salmon, prawns & mussels. This had absolutely no mussels in it and was mainly salmon & prawns with one chunk of white fish. The server gave us a glass of wine to compensate which was a nice touch but it was ashame there was hardly any white fish or mussels which are a local catch.

We managed to book a table for our group of 8 and really enjoyed it. There are plenty of seats in the front with a direct view of the sea and harbour and also a lovely big dining area upstairs. The restaurant is located perfectly on the busy promenade where it's very central but not too loud. The service was great and the food well made and tasty. Everybody had a good time!

Staff were lovely, it was a nice spot. The cocktails were okay - not much to the mojitos. For a cocktail bar expected a bit more. The food was good - but for the price it was a bit on the high side. However everywhere around the area the prices were high, but I understand that’s just the current economy. Would come again, but would not drink.

Great little pub. Loads of cocktail options with classic cocktails and ones with a twist. A great selection of mocktails too. The staff are always friendly and happy to see you. Great view of the Abby whilst sat outside and in one of the quieter places of Whitby so there's not loads of foot traffic going past.

Sat outside and enjoyed a lovely mocktail. Spotted this place on our trip last year but it was always so busy which was a good sign. We managed to get a table outside one evening to enjoy a drink. I had the French martini mocktail which was lovely. My partner had the spicy watermelon margarita which well…wow! Look at the photo of it. Friendly staff.

Modern bar directly opposite the harbour so great views, especially sat outside on a lovely night. Didn't eat there so cannot comment on the food but the expressio Martini and Aspall cider were great. Friendly staff.

Lovely place to watch the world go by. Plenty of choice of spirits and cocktails and a really good pint of Guinness too. We will be back on our next visit to Whitby

If you like a great night out with amazing food and cocktails out of this world each made with extra special care and pride this is the place for you. Chilled cosy night out then moon & sixpence is the place to be. The customer service and the friendly atmosphere adds to how great this small establishment is, with sian's amazing friendly smile and 10 out of 10 customer service and out of this world cocktails dont miss this opportunity when visiting whitby Love shaun n matty(Genie pants)

Although the place has a nice atmosphere, I was disappointed. From the moment we sat down at the table We waited 20 minutes for someone to take our order, and when we wanted to do it, we found out that almost everything was already sold out and only sandwiches were left. And not even all the sandwiches, just some of them After placing our order, we waited 40 minutes for two sandwiches and fries. Yes 40 minutes. Unfortunately, the staff seemed unsure what to do. Everyone was doing a little bit of everything.Lack of organization and someone to manage who should do what.

A hidden gem of a cafe on Silver Street in Whitby. Located on a lovely little street and away from the crowds this beautiful cafe in a small courtyard is brimming with atmosphere and charm. A very good menu and the food was excellent. Very quick service and lovely staff. We sat in the courtyard under the biggest fig tree I had ever seen. It was a hot day and this tree provided the most wonderful shade. There is seating inside. If parked on the car parks by the harbour you about 10 minutes away but up hill as is everything in Whitby! However the walk is worth it. This is a dog friendly cafe.

Hidden gem alert !!! A brilliant café for people to take rest after enjoying a whole morning at the Whitby harbour area. The interior design is very soothing. It is the kind of café that you want to stay a little longer to relax and enjoy your afternoon tea. The location is also great. It is even near the Botham's so you can also grab some pastries and cake before you leave. I feel like I am probably the only one who had and will order an avocado salmon salad in this cafe but Jesus this salad is just peak. It's been four months since I visited that place, but I still can't forget the charming texture of the salmon with the yummy cheese and sauce!

A regular place my wife and I frequent when we are in Whitby. The food is hot, freshly cooked and very, very tasty. The coffee is full bodied and large and the tea is made by using tea leaves, something of a rarity nowadays. It is a very comfortable place to sit and watch other customers eat, drink and chat about their day. The service is not too obstrusive and allow time from entry to order at an acceptable time period. We will be back, next time we are in Whitby. Thank you.

Oh my god, I loved their bacon eggs Benedict! HIGHLY recommend. Came for breakfast, everything came out quick, atmosphere was lovely and left in a timely fashion. Everything was lovely and smooth. Americano was great too.

We went here for breakfast. Delicious eggs royale! One of the best I have ever had. My husband had a huge sausage and bacon sarnie! Accompanied by a pot of Yorkshire loose leaf tea! Lovely and friendly staff. Thanks will be sure to visit again next time we’re in Whitby.

Lovely Cafe tucked away slightly from the 'tourist' areas but equally not too far. Had a very tasty breakfast which was of the highest quality, superb poached eggs! would definitely visit again.

Highly recommend Sanders Yard Bistro! Our group (5 ladies) had hired a house in Whitby for the weekend and wanted to order food in for 1 of the evenings. I contacted Sanders Yard to enquire about outside catering and Sophie was super helpful from the beginning and sent me loads of suggestions. Sophie delivered the food to the house for us, it all came boxed and labelled up. The food was delicious and great value for money! We couldn't eat it all on the first evening, so we had it again on the second day. Thanks again Sophie for a super service.

Great little place serving cakes and lunchtime type food up until 3pm, after that its coffee and cakes only. They serge beer but its bottles only. I had the the Moroccan hummus with pitta bread and it was really tasty, especially the sweet potato fries from the specials board. My partner had smoked haddock and cheddar cheese fishcakes also off the specials board and said it was very tasty.

What a delightful place to find. Popped in for a coffee. Walked down the alleyway to the door. There you wait for someone to seat you. After only a few seconds were were taken to a table. We wanted inside. The place is like the tardis from doctor who. It's big inside as well having a nice courtyard. Ended up ordering a breakfast as well as the coffee. Glad I did . It was fab. Even the tomato was cooked through. So many places can't cook a tomato. The bacon and everything else was nice and a big plus it's served on a hot plate so it all stays hot.

A good place to retreat for lunch in Whitby. One could ask why all my ratings are on the higher side of the scale. It’s because I only rate those places I would go back to or would recommend to others. I also think all good food, friendly service and comfortable surroundings is enough to earn a 4 or 5… May be I should rate lesser experiences but just feel bad leaving 3 stars or below reviews. Sandler Yard is five stars and highly recommended. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Whitby’s retail shops this bistro offers an extensive menu of well prepared and tasty meals. I have to rate my burger a 5/5. The patty was light and airy and the right ratio of fat and minced beef. I really like that the extras provided on the side so that the burger wasn’t overfilled and prone to falling apart from plate to mouth. I know it’s hard to tell from my picture but it really was a great burger. I was assured by my wife that the warm goat and pear salad was equally as good. Nice and spacious dining room. We didn’t try the cakes as we were full, but there were plenty of choices there. Coffee was nice and strong if you are like me and prefer a COFFEE!

Stumbled upon this place while looking for a bite to eat. It’s up an alleyway but opens up into a pretty little court yard. The inside decor was nice too. We order two platters which was plenty for 4 of us. Staff friendly and welcoming. Would happily pop in here again.

I was a guest at my friends wedding reception. The food and service was second to none. Highly recommended 👌

A great find down a narrow alley in the centre of Whitby, across the river on the Abbey side. The town was packed as there was a folk weekend on and around lunchtime all the restaurants etc. were full, however, we found this jem which still had vacancies. We'll definitely be calling there again as the food was fantastic. I had the Moroccan inspired hummus with halloumi, pitta bread and sweet potato fries off the specials board and my partner had Thai inspired fish cakes and all of it was delicious. There was a pretty little courtyard for outside eating or tastefully decorated inside. The waitresses were quick, friendly and efficient. Definitely a place to re visit next time.

An amazing place. We arrived early on a Sunday morning, not realising it was one of the few places actually open in that season on a Sunday, so within about 20 mins there was barely a seat left in the place! Perfect for gluten free options, so many in fact it was a little overwhelming at times :-D Super tasty food, great service and a nice atmosphere in this small cafe. Definitely recommended!

Faultless experience. Delightful staff who make you feel super welcome and the food was gorgeous and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the Mexican Eggs. Will certainly be back.

We really enjoyed our breakfast at the Cranberry Swamp. We had poached eggs & tomatoes and pancakes with fruit and honey. Great portions & tasted delicious. Seemed to be a great cafe if you have a dog too as almost every customer had one! Will visit again when we're next in Whitby!

I have been to Cranberry Swamp for both dine in and take away and the food and service both match the same quality and love every single time. They have wide range of options based on your dietary preferences/ restrictions. Very warm and pleasant staff. And the place is very Child friendly, Pet Friendly and equally welcoming to both tourists and locals.

Awesome breakfast and came highly recommended from a friend that holidays in Whitby all the time. The selection of breakfasts and lunches is numerous and very different but with something to suit most. We only went for breakfast, but the burger selection alone looked worth investigating. Very quirky decor and plenty of seating!

One of our party has a gluten, soya and milk allergy, Cranberry Swamp was able to cater for all of those. All the food was very good quality and tasty. The cafe was closing as we went past on another occasion but they were kind enough to stop and check ingredients in a couple of desserts for the person with allergies as we had not been able to find any throughout the day, and were able to buy a couple. Thank you so much for your patience and kindness, the desserts were delicious I'm told

Quite simply the best veggie breakfast I’ve ever had! My wife had GF breakfast and also raved about it! Lovely relaxed atmosphere and even the pa music was some good sounds! (Not loud!) Staff friendly and cost very reasonable! Loved it and kept us going for our 5 hour journey home!

Came here after seeing a recommendation on social media. Absolutely brilliant and an absolute hidden gem! The service was so quick and absolutely perfect, the food came so quickly and it was cooked to perfection. The best chips in Whitby for sure! And absolutely amazing experience overall. The staff were all so friendly and polite!

We have been eating in here for years with our young family. Food is consistently good and we love the crinkle cut chips. Fish is always fresh. One gripe this time was the menu changes around kids meals. There is no kids fish and chips. No cod bites. And it really annoyed us. Why? Well, instead, the choice is a frozen fish finger, chicken bites or a sausage. My kids want fish and chips in a chippy. Pay for an adult portion I hear the owners say! No - I want to pay a fair price to feed my kids with a piece of your fresh fish. Instead we paid £14.50 ish for my 7 year old’s meal so she could have fish. Surely there’s a way around it!

Absolutely blown away by this place—some of the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! The batter was golden, crisp, and full of flavour, but what really sent it over the edge were the battered bits—call them what you want: scraps, scrapings, or crispy heaven—they were next-level, honestly god-like! The portions were generous, the fish was fresh and flaky, and everything was piping hot. Big shoutout to Chris for the brilliant tips on how to dodge the cheeky seagulls—lifesaver! The restaurant is easy to access whether you’re eating in or grabbing takeaway, and the whole experience felt like a proper Whitby highlight. If you’re in Whitby and you’re not stopping here, you’re missing out. No joke—this is THE chip shop to visit. I’ll 100% be back, and I’ll be dreaming of those battered bits until then. Highly recommended!

Absolutely wow. Just the best fish and chips we've had. The Irish curry is a showstopper and the chips are addictive!! Would 100% return.

was recommended by a Whitby local, thanks JJ, the taste was absolutely incredible, the batter melted in my mouth and the fish was delicious, the chips were awesome too, A+++++++++

The home of the crinkle cut chips and they were delicious ! Had a piece of haddock cooked while I waited and it was perfect. No grease, tasty batter and lovely thick white fish. Their mushy peas are the best in Whitby.

Came here on a recommendation from the owner of the place we stayed at on holiday. We were not disappointed! Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Whitby and serving delicious food. We dined in, very friendly staff - quick service & some of the best fish and chips we’ve eaten. The children enjoyed their meals, as did we.

Have walked past this diner many times, as it is en-route to where we have to collect our holiday-let keys from. This time we made sure to come and have a meal and so glad we did. It was busy (around 7.30 Sat eve), but we were seated quickly. All the staff we encountered were lovely, the decor is fabulous and there is a genuine jukebox playing (just at the right level that you can still have a conversation). My partner had porky parmo and is still raving about it a week later. I had classic hotdog and sweet potato fries, both were just LUSH. We also had cocktails which were amazing, so much so, my partner had two! Portions were very large and we felt very good value. You do have to wait a little while for your food and drinks but we didn't think this was overly long and it's clearly because everything is freshly made to order. As we didn't have room for desserts we returned the next afternoon and had a mega milkshake and a sundae. These were also fantastic and the staff once again were very welcoming. All in all, highly recommended, we will most definitely return on our next visit to the area. 5*

This was the highlight of our trip to Whitby. The setting was amazing really stylish. The burger fries were lovely and the cocktail was spot on. Couldn’t resist getting a dessert and the cookie was just as good.

We went and got a table straight away. We had a 40 minute wait till our food arrived. We were fairly happy with the food. We did feel the uniforms could have been washed on a regular Basis. Overall it is worth a visit

Food was amazing, milkshake was like a dessert on its own! Atmosphere and decor was great, there was also a jukebox! Toilets weren’t the cleanest (men’s mess) And we had to wait a while for food. But the place was packed, so can kinda forgive it. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely fantastic Food and drinks were amazing staff were so nice had a amazing time A true American diner just perfect definitely will be going next time I'm in Whitby

Fantastic experience, excellent service. Everybody was really friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Just MASSIVE portions. Would definitely recommend the milkshakes.

Craving a burger while in Whitby we decided to eat at Emma's Diner and I am oh so glad we did. The drinks were great. The burgers and fries were amazing. Everything about the burgers tasted good, seasoned well, juicy and cooked to perfection. We were planning on having a desert but the portion sizes and great taste changed our plan. The staff were very friendly and seated us immediately. The aesthetic of the diner was great, classic American decor and music.

Lovely dining experience, home cooked and colourful and vibrant. We had the trio of tacos, chicken quesadilla and home cooked chips. Lovely food. I definitely recommend if you are in Whitby and fed up of the usual fish and chips and fancy something different.

Al Taco is a hidden gem of an eatery, we tried the chicken quesadilla, burrito and nachos, they were loaded and all the ingredients were fresh. The staff are friendly, warm and welcoming and nothing is too much. It is well worth a visit when you are in Whitby.

This is a real hidden gem amongst whitby many other restaurants. Two friends and I came here looking for an option that my celiac friend could eat and the lovely ladies were more than happy to accommodate her. We had the chicken and pulled beef burritos which were stunning. Fresh and seasoned just right. The celiac friend had a naked burrito bowl which was also top notch. 10/10 for a place to nip into and eat

Absolutely incredible food. Fresh and really tasty served by lovely friendly staff. Big recommend. They made anything we wanted vegan too!

Despite the name this is most definitely not an authentic Mexican. Never had a burrito with lettuce and the option of bbq or garlic sauce! The food was pretty bland and cold. We were really disappointed as we had read such great reviews about this place! Not sure what happened. Based of our experience we would not eat here again, nor recommend this place.

Amazing food. Amazing service. We were in Whitby for a long weekend and walked past during the day. We came back into the town center just to go here. We couldn't even finish everything because the portions were huge. Great value for money.

We were looking for somewhere to eat and found this place about 45mins before closing and thought we would give it a try. What a surprise, run by 2 lovely ladies, the food was excellent, if your going for a proper meal its a BYO place, corkage is very reasonable, but worth a visit.

We stayed in one of their "Shepherds huts" for a couple of nights. The toilets and showers are close by, and shared. That was the only down side. I did notice drains and water were in place for a future upgrade, and this would significantly improve the already comfortable accommodation. The food was really good. The breakfast was top notch, made with locally sourced food. The pub itself had a nice vibe, with a mixture very friendly local people, and overnight guests. There was a good selection of beers, ciders, and lagers. The staff were busily going about their duties, but available when needed. There is a cinder path close by that leads in to Whitby, and if you're fit enough, it's about a 40 minute walk. I liked the place and would stay again. Thanks for a pleasant weekend.

Went for Sunday lunch and a few drinks. Veg was more than enough for 3. Best carrots I've had, fresh and lovely. Lots of meat(I got one of each) Beef,Pork and Chicken) all cooked to perfection. Yorkie was massive. Mash and roast potatoes on point with plenty of gravy.

The windmill pub is actually a nice country pub but their shepherds cot accommodation is very poor and not at all worth the price. It is very misleading in the description given. There are 4 cots in a secluded area behind the pub, each with a picnic table. However the bed and sofa bed are poor quality, extremely low and VERY uncomfortable. There is no privacy for changing etc and one toilet and one shower between all 4 cots..... absolutely intolerable. Neither were very clean and the only sink is in the toilet cistern. Imagine cleaning your teeth in that. Especially as you are sharing with complete strangers. The breakfast was nice, with a reasonable choice. However, although staff are polite, they are not particularly welcoming. There is no way I could recommend staying here unless the owners have plans to substantially improve what they offer.

Lovely pub, dog friendly. Serves great Sunday lunches. Good beer. Midweek meals are also excellent. Good walks along the cinder track across the old railway viaduct to Whitby. Bungy jumping from the viaduct on some weekends. You can walk or cycle in the opposite direction to Scarborough which is about 25 miles away.

Great stay, wonderful team working efficiently to create an inclusive pub atmosphere. Great banter with the locals, food looked amazing especially the Sunday lunches. We stayed Sunday evening, room was clean and cosy and we had a great night sleep. Breakfast was lovely, great choice, charming little restaurant area and beautifully cooked. Would certainly stay agsin. ☺️

I only had a meal here. The food is excellent, the chef makes everything, including sauces, I was told he grows his own vegetables. Well worth a visit

We booked and paid for this in Australia. Had our confirmation numbers and receipt. Got there to be told they did not receive payment or our name. Had to pay again, but only space left was a small gypsy wagon cabin out back. Had to use toilet behind the Inn overnight. Can only sort out payment truth back in Australia. Staff were great. Food was great.

We didn't stay over. We went for a meal celebrating my partners birthday. Babs had one of the chicken dishes and I had sea bass (which was the best I've ever eaten). The service was great, the food amazing and the beer was tasty, I also had a sweet which was delicious too. Although I didn't have the one I wanted as it was sold out. Nevertheless I would recommend this place to anyone, and I'm sure we'll be back the next time we holiday in Whitby.

4 of us had an evening meal. We had an excellent table. Our well behaved German shepherd was with us. Our staff were very accommodating. Our food was excellent. A successful evening. Thank you. Well return when next in Whitby 🥂

We came on our first Saturday evening in Whitby. This pub was to be our local for a week. The pub is in a stunning location with amazing views, but that's the only positive thing to say about this place. The food was very mediocre and forgettable. The service was terrible. The staff really were not interested and appeared to not want to be there. We asked for some glasses for the wine. Three times. After 15 minutes we gave up and had to get them ourselves from the bar. And heaven forbid if you want some serviettes. After asking several times, we eventually had to go into the pub to get some - the waitress rolled her eyes and reluctantly got some out from a cupboard. If you visit, stay for just one drink and admire the views. But I wouldn't recommend ordering anything that may need some customer service.

Sunday dinner wasn't very good roast beef was Boiled beef and watery the veg was a small turine for 4 adults portions altogether were poor. However, the public bar and gardens are lovely and we've had bar meals before and been really happy with them . They're well presented and tasty but I wouldn't recommend Sunday lunch

Had a beautiful meal here today with my son and husband, highly recommend, lovely staff and food , beautiful pub over looking the bay , amazing selection of drinks. Had chicken parmo which is the best I've ever had. Looking forward to returning

Lovely, comfortable hotel with friendly, welcoming staff, great food and service, not to mention a fantastic view of the sea from the dining room! This was our 4th time visiting and is the only place we'll stay at in Whitby. You can be sure we'll be back again! Thank you once again for a lovely stay!

Excellent in most ways staff rooms food cleanliness I just wondered if grab handle could be installed in the bathroom. I had difficulty getting into the bath to use the over bath shower.❤️

I visited this fish n chip shop on a cold December day, well out of season. Needless to say it wasn't busy. I had a large cod 'n chips, curry sauce with scraps and two slices of bread. (Of course I made a chip butty, and delicious it was too.) One curry sauce pot could be shared by two easily, the fish was excellent and there was a good portion of nice chips. All in all, very happy with the place. The only negatives are most of the seating is well inside and down some steps, so getting a table with a view would be unlikely, particularly I imagine when its busy. There are lots of tables that seat 4 people. The loos are down in the basement, didn't notice any disabled facilities on the ground floor.

Very good Cod & Chips with buttered bread and tea for £8,50 not disable friendly toilets down stairs

This basic fish and chip restaurant gives good value for money. We were served quickly by young, friendly staff and the food arrived quickly. Meal prices include a drink and bread and butter. The haddock and chips were delicious. The restaurant looked clean and fresh. Be aware space can be tight for four adults sitting at a table for four as tables are close together.

Very friendly and helpful Staff. The Cod and chips were exceptionally good. The cod fillet was very good value.

Excellent fish and chips, good friendly and prompt service, thanks

We arrived just as they opened and had the restaurant to ourselves. Staff were friendly and our order was quickly taken. The food was freshly prepared and quickly, as they were cooking just for us. I'm fussy with my fish and chips bit this was delicious. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic fish and chips just a few metres away from the harbour.. Only downside is the tables are on the small side if there's more than 2 of you. Also only take cash payments. But like I said the food is amazing.

The dining area and toilet is very clean and welcoming. It's just a shame that the food provided was of such a low standard. The chip portion was abysmal for £2.40, and their condiments are not easily distinguishable. The chips themselves were average tasting, and weren't anything special. The staff was nothing but miserable and customer service was non existing. No cutlery and if you want to use a knife and fork you've got to pay. Will not be coming back.

BEST CURRY SAUCE EVER!!! We honestly really enjoyed the experience of eating from Russell's. Glad we chose this place for our fish and chips at Whitby. Really friendly staff, all-round enjoyable experience. My boyfriend said the fish is really good. They even let you put your own salt and vinegar on.

Busy but worth it. Seating was available fortunately but limited in numbers. Great fish and chips

Best fish and chips out there. My family and i always come to Russells fish and chips at Whitby whenever we are on holiday and enjoy it every time. The staff and owners are lovely and the atmosphere in there is just wonderful. Would highly recommend if you would like the best fish and chips at Whitby!

This is by far the best fish and chips shop in Whitby and doesn't cost a fortune either. We came to. Whitby for a week and ate here every day. A Guinness and chippy holiday which was amazing. Would definitely recommend to eat here. Staff were great to, extremely friendly

I’ve been to a lot of bad fish and chip shops in my time - I’m sad to say that this is one of them. The fish is mushy and the batter tastes like oil, not to mention it is served still soaking in oil. The chips are passable at best, and even then my friend ordered a portion of just chips only to receive an amount that wouldn’t fill a packet of wotsits. The mushy peas are extremely bland and watery, not to mention having barely any colour. I came to this fish and chip shop hungry and I left hungry. On top of all this, if you’re opting for a dine-in experience, you’re offered no plate for your food, and the same wooden forks offered to those who opt to takeaway, there is also no cutlery present on the tables. Extremely disappointed.

My experience at this establishment was atrocious. Whenever I go to whitby I try to go to a different chippy each time to find my new favorite and I call tell you this chippy is easily my least favourite, mostly due to the service but that doesn't mean that the food was it's saving grace at all. Upon entering the chippy (which is not called Russell's, it is now Angels) I was met with the most unwelcoming and miserable woman ive has the mispleasure of being served by. I asked for my group of 5 if we were OK to sit in as it was in the evening and didn't know if they were due to shut soon. Although she confirmed it was ok the chew was not appropriate or called for, upon me and my friends ordering our food we were spoken to with attitude and I was ignored when asked for tarte sauce. Upon collection my food was under someone else's name? And I wasn't offered scraps like you usually would expect? Thankfully this was my last experience with any of the staff. The food portions were fair, I got a cod and chips with gravy which tasted ok, not much flavour in either area, the fish was supposed to be the star of the show but despite efforts with cooking to order the fish was still super soggy and mushy, pretty flavourless unless you add salt and vinegar. The chips were cooked nicely but still lacked a lot- I don't even want to comment on the gravy. Overall, I will not be returning and there is room for major improvement with this restaurant.
