  “Place was busy when we arrived but managed to get a table. Ordered food at the bar (fishcakes and chowder, calamari and fishcakes bites). Even though it was busy the food didn't take long to arrive. All 4 of us said their meal was excellent. My fishcakes were really tasty. The bill including drinks was quite reasonable. Really good restaurant to eat but be aware it can get busy but does have upstairs seating if needed. Would happily go there again.”

  “This was my first time here. We tried ordering from the menu, but unfortunately, there were no pictures. We ordered a pie and a drink each. For me, the pie was okay, but a little too rich. The view outside of the restaurant was beautiful, overlooking the sea. Inside, there was plenty of seating. The service was average for me. Overall, it's a good place to come for a beer and some chips.”

  “Lovely fresh fish and chips, great view of the harbour. We waited about 5-10 mins after ordering for food to arrive (even though the app estimated 40 mins). Kids and parents all very happy!”

  “I'm obviously only going to talk about my own experience here but I decided against fish and chips and went for calamari as it was fresh, hand sliced and freshly battered. however what arrived was a freezing cold calamari with chips and a sauce. First Bite was less than probably 20° it felt like it been out for hours I asked for it to be changed over and they said they would make it fresh for me. second time it came there was still skin on the calamari so not only did I have some sort of chewy rubber band experience but also had to Peel the skin off the calamari as well which wasn't great overall, it was a solid 1 out of 10.”

  “Been to Whitby many times & always came to the Abbey Wharf but never for food, just drinks on their lovely drinking terrace over the harbour. But we'd heard good things about the food & didn't fancy fish n chips; we love our steaks & decided to try theirs. We were not disappointed, we went for the most expensive steak, the fillet cut at £35 each, done just as we like it, medium. The steak came with the usual sides of chips, mushrooms, tomatoes, & salad garnish. For some reason they wouldn't let us swap out the mushrooms & tomatoes that my boyfriend doesn't like for some peas but not a big deal, we got halloumi, homemade coleslaw, & blue cheese sauce on the side & that was plenty. Everything tasted great, the steaks cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was alright, very much like a pub/bar atmosphere, they allow dogs which I agree with during the day if people are just coming for a casual drink but when I've just paid nearly £100 quid for food, maybe sit me in a part of the restaurant where dogs are not allowed. Overall, highly recommended for the quality of the food alone, just a bit more effort could be put into the decor, atmosphere, etc. The service was good & efficient from the bar staff & table servers.”

  “Super view of the harbour, table service or bar service plus a modern trendy self pay and service machine for several draft beers. Music was playing while we were there on a Saturday by a DJ set. Lovely old modernised building brought into the modern age. Excellent 👌”

  “Food here is amazing. Highly recommend the monkfish. Good service too and atmosphere. Only downside is the chips are not nice, which is weird for a restaurant like this. Other than that, brilliant. Also great value. Cheaper than most other places.”

  “We use to visit here about five years ago as it is dog friendly and was a great place for food and drinks. Note the WAS it’s now like a fast food place. It’s scruffy noisy and gone right down. The food was ok but definitely not up to the standards that it used to be and the service is now non existent you have to order at the bar or from an app. It’s a place we won’t revisit when in Whitby.”

  “Great location with a terrace overlooking the harbour. Large and spacious with tables spread out - very comfy. Food was good especially the whitebait which was amazing. My husbands white fish was a little overdone but otherwise would definitely return here.”

  “Abbey Wharf is a wonderfully welcoming spot with incredibly friendly staff who make the visit feel special from the moment you arrive. The views are absolutely stunning—worth the trip alone—and it’s great to see access for all, including wheelchair users. We tried the new Craven cod, and it was awesome—plentiful, satisfying, and beautifully cooked. We also had the salmon, which was epic, and the burgers, which the boys loved. I wouldn’t go so far as to claim it’s the very best fish and chip shop in Whitby, but it’s definitely up there. Highly recommended, especially for that amazing view and thoughtful accessibility.”
