Restaurant Review食评 :- The Magpie鹊, Whitby惠特比, North Yorkshire北约克郡

We took a day trip to Whitby and decided to try some fish and chips at 'The Magpie' Cafe.

The Magpie Cafe has a terrific view of the Whitby Harbour area and the bridge and at weekends is very busy.

Even on a wednesday afternoon at 5pm - it was quite busy, luckily we found a table for two upstairs.

When the food arrived we wish we had shared a fish and Chips between two - as it was too much to finish it.

The inside of the restaurant celebrates the local celebrated explorer 'Captain James Cook' and had a nautical feel to it.

A walk on the beach and next to the River Esk always helps the digestion!
