Reviews in Whitby

Lovely food as always. But the toilets we an absolute disgrace, I appreciate how busy staff were but they really should have somebody checking them regularly. It was not just one toilet more than one had been left in a absolute mess.

As always the magpie and it’s staff have gone above and beyond with there service

The Magpie was amazing.

Warm welcome and excellent food. The seafood medley was first class.

A great place, lovely views and fab food. We had the sharing platter which was fantastic and we can’t wait to return

Excellent food, great service with excellent staff. Large menu choice. On our final day we had fish and chips. The best ever.

Great food. Good value

We arrived at the Magpie and told to go upstairs for our tables. Once seated, we were outside the life and had no barrier around us like the other tables had. But it was good they had a lift, as it make the restaurant open to costumers who wouldn't be able to make the stairs. I just feel it was unnecessary to put a table there. We didn't ask to be moved as the place was packed and I thought there would be little chance. Our orders arrived quite quickly, two of us has the smallest adult sized haddock and chips. The quality was good, but if you are hungry then size up. What was disappointing with the thin and runny tartare sauce. One of us had a large portion of chips, which was a handful in a small bowl. For £3 odd, it was vastly expensive. I don't know if we would go back for fish and chips as everything was as expected and not fantastic. It's a shame as we were really looking forward to it. The view from the window was great.

I knew the place got very busy to booked four months ahead for a special birthday Lovely food and friendly staff Would return and recommend

Visited following friends’ recommendations and my 12 year old son in search of the best fish and chips in the UK. We weren’t disappointed. Great tasting, fresh and high quality. A long journey but we’ll worth it!

Had a really good meal here. The quality of the food was great, as was the service. There are options for those with allergies and we couldn't fault the overall meal.

The best place for fish across Whitby! A massive selection of different fish and the best mussels I have ever eaten! I would highly recommend!!

I was really disappointed with The Magpie Cafe after hearing such amazing things about it. I’ve had better food abd treatment in my local chippy in West Yorkshire. The first thing I noticed was the abrupt manner of the person on the door. Despite having booked I felt we were shown in abruptly and spoken to like we were riff raff. Secondly the quality of the Fish was appalling when we received our Fish and Chips. I ordered the medium fish and chips which was at best a very small fish. At £12 this was unbelievably overpriced. We also ordered a small fish which looked bigger than the medium fish and when we questioned it we were told it was a big ‘small’ fish which did not make any sense at all. The waitress that brought the food out was abrupt too. My plate arrived with a portion of mushy peas on the side which I had not ordered and to be honest don’t like. When I advised the waitress she abruptly said ‘it’s not touched your fish’! It’s safe to say I won’t be going there again. It feels like a place that has been incredibly successful in the past and has gotten complacent as a result of that success. The one pleasant and nice person was the waitress who was taking the orders. It felt like she was genuine and enjoyed her job.

Was really impressed with the menu choice for gluten free and the knowledge of cc. Good service and value for money.

Enjoyed a lovely meal at Magpie Cafe this week. Couldn’t believe what a fabulous menu of fresh fish and seafood was available. We were a large party of 13 and had made a reservation. All food selections were thoroughly enjoyed and service was efficient and friendly. One of our party required disabled access and we were able to use the lift that goes from just inside the Magpie takeaway to inside the restaurant. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. Would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our lovely meal at the Magpie. The staff were friendly and helpful - especially in sorting out a milk-free meal for my son - and the atmosphere was perfect.

Excellent venture, superb food came fresh and well prepared! Excellent staff will definitely be returning

Great food as usual. Good to return
