Recommended Places To Eat
It is probably no surprise that the glorious County of North Yorkshire - often referred to as ‘God’s Own County’ - offers such a rich and abundant source of food. Behind the patchwork of soft grey dry stone walls, cattle and sheep graze on the rich grass pastures, and the fields of crops define the stunning landscape. This is where you will find the very best of local foods, produce and ingredients - a mouth-watering and bountiful array of produce that will give you a very special Taste of North Yorkshire.

The Hare Inn
This is my favourite place to eat. Whether it is for lunch or supper- Their signature starter of twice baked cheese souffle is not to be missed ,while the Chateaubriand steak is cooked to perfection.Geoff is an outstanding chef, the staff are marvellous, the building is old,quaint and romantic and they make a jolly good Pimms with ginger ale. -what more could you ask for.

The Magpie Cafe
If you have a trip to the coast try Whitby’s Magpie Cafe for delicious seafood. Rick Stein rates this as the best fish and chip you can get. It has such a varied and mouthwatering menu - you will be spoilt for choice. -The salt and pepper squid is tops for me with a Caribbean salad. Bread and butter served with strawberry jam is a quirky twist to have with the Fortunes kippers that are on offer. Fortunes have been smoking kippers in Whitby for over 137 years. It is in an ideal situation near the fish market and has a good view of the harbour and Whitby abbey.
