The Magpie Cafe

Queues for the superb, locally caught fish are part & parcel of eating at the Magpie Cafe – a Whitby institution for over 100 years. The extensive repertoire takes in fillets of lemon sole, monkfish, poached cod in a cream & tarragon sauce, lobster thermidor, traditional fish & chips, plus a few meat dishes, all delivered in that good old Yorkshire-style of huge portions. Some 30 desserts include traditional steamed puddings such as jam roly-poly, as well as more up-to-date, lighter confections. High chairs are provided & takeaway is a great option if the weather is fine.
