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.
我们在惠特比玩了一天,决定尝试鹊咖啡的炸鱼薯条。

The Magpie Cafe has a terrific view of the Whitby Harbour area and the bridge and at weekends is very busy.
鹊咖啡有着极佳的视野,可以看到惠特港湾和桥。周末的时候人很多。

Even on a wednesday afternoon at 5pm - it was quite busy, luckily we found a table for two upstairs.
甚至星期三下午五点,人也挺多,很幸运我们在二楼找到一张桌子。



Our waitress promptly served us - we ordered yorkshire tea, a small and a regular Haddock and chips, and mushy pea.
我们的服务生立刻过来服务——我们点了约克郡茶、黑线鳕鱼和薯条,豌豆糊。

When the food arrived we wish we had shared a fish and Chips between two - as it was too much to finish it.
当食物来的时候,我们希望我们俩应该要一份炸鱼薯条就好了——因为一份太多了,根本吃不完。

The tartar sauce was delicious and the chips were very substantial.
塔塔酱非常好吃,薯条量多又足。


The inside of the restaurant celebrates the local celebrated explorer 'Captain James Cook' and had a nautical feel to it.
饭馆内部的装饰纪念着本地探险家詹姆斯库克船长,很有航海的感觉。









The Bill of £25 was ok value when you consider the quantity but the location is a prime tourist site.
账单为25镑,从食物质量上看挺值的,而且地点又那么好。

A walk on the beach and next to the River Esk always helps the digestion!
在埃斯克河岸边的沙滩上散布总是能帮助消化!


We walked around beautiful Whitby town and its beautiful shops selling the local 'Whitby Jet' jewellery.
我们在美丽的惠特小镇散布的时候,有很多漂亮的小店在卖惠特煤珠宝。

Restaurant Review:- Graveleys Fish and Chips, Whitby, UK (英国的鱼饭馆)

A cold day in England offers no better opportunity to visit a traditional fish and chip chop, something British people seem particularly indulgent at.

What do Sydney and Whitby have in Common?
Captain James Cook of course! A son of Whitby, North Yorkshire.

We visited a lovely fish and chip restaurant called 'Graveleys' in the center of the delightful town.
 Now this is not the healthiest meal - but the fish was fresh and the mushy peas - were different to what we were used to.

We could look out at Whitby harbour and were warm and looked out at two locals playing in the sea - fully clothed in 9 degree weather. Yes they are tough and weather beaten people in Whitby!!
 The waiting staff were friendly and we arrived at 2pm so it was very quiet.

The cups of tea revived us and we walked around the town to work off the stodgy food!
 We didn't indulge in the Cakes. Next time maybe!! If we are ever back in Whitby!
 Treacle sponge or Bread and butter pudding. How English!
We highly recommend this place for a refuge from the temperamental English Weather!

Enjoy walking around the lovely quaint old shops in Whitby!
