Hi Thomas….Thanks so much for providing that list, i’ll do a bit of research now on some of those. Ive also been in touch with Magpie Cafe, and they have a lift now, which can access the lower restaurant area apparently, and if i email or ring in advance, they will save a table, so will give them a try at some point! Best Regards – Paul

Hi Paul, thank you for your enquiry. I do not know for sure which of these restaurants have wheelchair access, im sure the restaurants would be willing to give you as much information as possible if you give them a call. There are two good indian restaurants that i have personaly visited in Whitby, one is the taste of india restaurants which is next to the train station, and the other is Al Shafiq which is on the harbour side, their website is http://www.shafiqrestaurant.co.uk/1.html . Greens restaurant comes very highly recommended, ive enjoyed a few good meals there. Here are numbers of other restaurants in Whitby. Im unsure which ones have wheelchair access, so please call to confirm before booking. Hope this helps.

Awd Tuts is a beautiful old cottage in the centre of Whitby old town. Its location is fantastic as you’re close to everything, no car needed.
Good for families or couples – reasonably priced too.

Comment on Cross Butts Stable Hotel And Restaurant in Whitby by David Wigham

David Wigham — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:47:33 +0000

The CrossButts Hotel Stable Restaurant on the outskirts of Whitby, serves excellent food , gives good value for money and has a very warm and friendly atmosphere. The views of the countryside are spectacular.

The rooms are all individual,very clean, well equipped with under floor heating, and a deluxe country cottage feel.

The menu is extensive, and during the correct season Pheasant, Partridge and Wood Pigeon can be found on the menu, local suppliers and farms are named on the blackboard to cover the meats, vegetables for the restaurant can be seen growing in the fields.
The history of the establishment is very interesting in itself, and the full story can be found of its Internet site.

On my previous visits I have seen stars of Heartbeat, Man United/Middlesbrough Footballers, and even well known locals chefs in the restaurant.

I have returned on several occasions, and still book for special events, anniversaries and birthdays.

Often on Sundays throughout the year we just take a ride out for lunch and a nice walk around Whitby before the 1.1/2 hour journey home.

For both Adults and Children the recent addition of Horses, Ponies, Alpacas, Rabbits,Ducks, Hens and Chickens defiantly creates the feeling of where “Town Meets Country”

A truly wonderful place to visit.

Comment on The Magpie Cafe, Whitby. Great location and phenomenal food by J.McBain

J.McBain — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:06:11 +0000

This is not just any fish and chip restaurant.Although other establishments have placards outside saying they have this or that award the queue waiting patiently for a place in the Magpie give their own recommendation.Good quick service and some of the best fish i have ever tasted.Dont be kidded by the “medium Cod” label, I doubt I have ever seen bigger! Verty highly recommended.

Comment on Grove Hotel by Blackpool Hotels

Blackpool Hotels — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:24:33 +0000

Off topic I know but as this is such a great blog I thought it would be a great place to post my question. Has anybody been to Blackpool this year? If so what do you think of the multi million pound redevelopment? Do you think UK seaside resorts such as Blackpool have a future?

Comment on Beehive Inn, Ye Olde by iain brown

iain brown — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:57:05 +0000

This place is OUTSTANDING ! A few minutes drive from Whitby town centre, in a lovely nearby village of Newholm, is Ye Old Beehive Inn.

The proprieters Keith & Mandy are the perfect hosts. After a long drive and arriving 5 Hours early, we were immediately given a pot of tea. After refreshments, we were led to a beutiful spacious bedroom and fantastic bathroom.

We later ate in the Honeypot Restaurant (part of the Beehive) The Garlic Mushroom starter was to die for and Lucinda (waiting on) gave me a crash course on what to eat on the Lobster main course. It was outstanding and no Seagulls ruining a perfect nights sleep. ~ The excellent quality and enourmous breakfast sets you up for the day. If your reading this, don’t stay anywhere else, its a fantastic Gem of a place and you won’t be dissapointed !
