Cod & Lobster pub in Staithes

The Cod and Lobster is the long-established last defence from the cruelties of the North Sea. It has felt the wrath of the waves multiple times over the years with the last being in 1953. On this occasion, the sea washed away the front of the pub leaving very forlorn fishermen watching the foamy waves take away their beloved bottles of ale!

Open every day for coffee and tea The Cod and Lobster is a glorious spot to watch boats bobbing around in the water whilst the rain lashes against the windows and a blazing fire roars inside.

The Cod and Lobster serve traditional pub food that has been prepared with local produce. As you would expect from a pub so close to the sea, it has some amazing fish dishes on offer. The bar is well stocked with a wide range of beers, wines, and spirits.
