"With branches in Leeds, York, and Whitby, when it comes to good food the Fisherman's Wife has plenty of experience.

"An authentic Yorkshire chip shop since 1980, Trenchers is a perfect place to go if you are looking for affordable British comfort food. Along with an excellent takeaway menu, Trenchers serves up a wide variety of succulent meals including a Seafood Salad, a gluten-free Seafood Chowder, and a vegan Spinach and Falafel Burger. If it's a traditional takeaway chippy you're after, then Trenchers also serves the usual battered fish options including cod, haddock, and scampi."

"This large fish and chip restaurant is opposite the station and harbour, and sometimes you have to queue to get a table in this Italian-style venue complete with booths and colourful Tiffany lamps. This is to be expected, as Trenchers netted the prestigious title of UK’s Best Fish and Chip Restaurant in 2019. Blackboards on the walls tell you which boat landed the freshly-caught cod, and also that your chips are prepared on the premises using potatoes from Ripon."

"A trip to Whitby isn’t complete without trying out a plate of award-winning fish and chips at Trenchers. This much-loved restaurant is popular with both locals and visitors alike – and for good reason. Open all day throughout every season, you can always rely on Trenchers for a delicious meal."

"Michelin-Starred chef Andrew Pern’s latest venture showcases the best locally sourced produce from land and sea. His restaurant, The Star Inn The Harbour, in the former tourist information building on the harbour, has a nautical look – ropes, creels, framed postcards – but it’s tastefully done, not the full Captain Haddock. Features include catch-of-the-day fish and meat specials, as well as world-famous North Yorkshire Moors produce."

"Slightly set back from the quayside, this pub is one of the most traditional pub in Whitby. It hosts a good selection of ales at a reasonable price, it’s not so busy that you have to stand but is busy enough to have a good time, the entertainment includes a TV, pool table and juke box, and the landlord/landlady are equally as friendly as the locals that frequent it. The Star Inn is also dog friendly and child friendly."

"Come on in to the Whitby Music Shop, located in the heart of Whitby’s premier shopping streets, where you’ll find new and used musical instruments, accessories, music books, gifts, T Shirts and much more. Musicport Festival takes place in October at Whitby Pavilion."

"There’s something special about the ruins of Whitby Abbey brooding over the harbour from the East Cliff. These ruins were mentioned in Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1890), and even at that time the monastery had been abandoned for 350 years. It was set up in the middle of the 7th century by Oswy, the King of Northumbria."

"As we dropped down into the town, we managed to find a parking space next to Whitby Abbey. It was a perfectly base for our little adventure and (being members of the National trust) didn’t cost us a penny."

"One of those things you simply have to do in Whitby is to climb the 199 steps that wind up from Church Lane to St Mary’s Church on the East Cliff. You’ll be treading the same path as the creature “resembling a large dog” that climbed up to the abbey in Dracula. The stairway is vertiginous, but the higher you go, the better the views back over the roofs of the old town and the harbour."

"Climb the 199 steps to the top of East Cliff for views over the town and harbour. At the top you will find the medieval church of St Mary."

"The relaxed coffee lounge and bistro on North Terrace, Seaham, will be serving up homemade American-style pancakes with fresh fruit and maple syrup as part of its breakfast menu."

Why not try the classic french dish of Moules Mariniere, mussels with white wine, cream and garlic and onions – a speciality of Harry's Bar. Other dishes include Harry's Famous Chowder, New York style with seafood."

"A stone's throw from the world-famous Magpie Cafe, Harry's offers what it calls "a food lover's paradise".

Find this hidden gem, which also serves a hearty breakfast to set you up for the day, from either Baxtergate or New Quay Road."

"This popular cafe offers fresh home-cooked food such as steak pie, a full English breakfast, jacket potatoes and quiche. “Every time we go to Whitby for hols, this is where we go. Best breakfast ever,” said one reviewer."

"As seen on BBC and voted Britain's best fish and chips, frying award-winning fish and chips has been a way of life since 1966. While each generation has added something new, the philosophies of Mr Papa are still embodied with every meal they serve. They source the highest quality ingredients from local suppliers to ensure their meals are as good today as they were back in 1966."
