While on a recent weekend break in Scarborough we had a day out in Whitby. We were advised by someone who lived there to try the Magpie Cafe. This cafe overlooking the harbour must have the largest selection of fish dishes I have seen in some while. it's very popular so expect to queue for a table at busy times.... More

You can have your fish any way you like - from simple poach or grill to fully fried or with a variety of sauces. Nicely located too across from the fish market & with a fine view over... More

Been to Magpie many times since being a child. The fish and chips have always been excellent. Been today for take away fish and chips, was not disappointed. Well done the Magpie for consistency over the last 50 years.
