Reviews in Whitby

A superb evening with friends, staff excellent and service to match the incredible food!

Booked in advance as in Whitby for a few days break and didn’t want to miss out on a visit to the Magpie we had excellent service and the fish chips and mushy peas lived up to their reputation would recommend it to everyone.

Great choice offered in menu and friendly service

Lovely food great service

We were on holiday and the Magpie was recommended by a friend. We were pleased that he did as we both enjoyed our cod, chips and mushy peas with tea, bread & butter. We booked our table in advance so were shown straight to our table and our server was very friendly and helpful. When booking I noted I had a prawn allergy, though didn't anticipate any issue as I wasn't going to order any! However the waitress knew of the allergy and had discussed with the chef to ensure there was no "cross contamination" of my meal. The cod was lovely and the chips were excellent

Lovely meal last night great service and fantastic value for money been twice now and not disappointed x love it here

You cannot visit Whitby without going to The Magpie Cafe. Food is always nice and menu extensive. Always check the specials board. The only hard thing is having enough room left for a dessert.

We have been aiming to visit the Magpie for more than 20 years . Finally we booked and came to Whitby 9/10 th of June. 2021.We had the house white wine, prawn cocktail/smoked salmon followed by 9oz cod and portion of chips and peas .. Really pleased with our choice of menu making it a special day out. The quality of cooking and produce was first class as was the service.

My wife and I along with 2 friends visited the Magpie on Monday 7th June I booked a table for 8.15pm, service was slow and didn't get our meal until after 9.00. The food was OK but nothing special. The biggest disappointment was when the bill came which was £79 I decided to leave a tip of £5 so took £40 from the other couple and I put £44 on the table before we left on leaving the restaurant we gestured to the staff that the payment was on the table but when my friends got outside they where chased by one of the staff saying we had not left enough money which was totally wrong some £20 had disappeared from the table to the till, I was disgusted in the accusation that we had not left enough money which I know we had. Please do not leave any cash for the bill on the table as you may be accused of trying to cheat them, someone had stolen the money. Why would I have left a tip if I wanted to short change them when they had my email and telephone details total scam, be careful.

Had a great meal at the magpie , staff were excellent, very attentive and helpful.

Had a wonderful meal at Magpies. Luckily we had pre booked so we’re able to go straight in and we’re seated straight away. The food was wonderful and just nice to be in a restaurant environment again. Good value for money with the children’s meal selection. Good staff interactions. Magpies had put in good Covid measures. Tables separated by plastic columns, one way systems etc.

We had a super meal and excellent service will certainly go back just a shame we don't live closer or we would certainly dine frequently.

All we were expecting, delicious, plump scampi, light crispy batter on the cod and haddock, gorgeous chips, great prices, and to top it off pleasant friendly staff. Very happy

Staff very kind and helpful they gave lovely service especially as i felt unwell due to my coeliac disease. However before i felt ill i ordered gluten free 9oz cod and chips and though i didn't eat much due to feeling ill had i been well i would have done the same, the batter was very thick and gooey inside with very large thick flakes and no taste. My husbands normal cod had nice small flakes and was a lovely taste at tail end but lost its flavour as it went on. Not as previous visits or the take out a few weeks ago.

The Magpie Cafe was recommended to me, and I'm certainly glad I paid a visit. The food was excellent and the service couldn't be faulted. Many thanks, I'll definitely be back.
