Abbey Wharf in Scarborough

Absolutely brilliant FISH N CHIPS. £20.00 each including Drink well worth it. Can't wait to go again.

foods are average, there are bones in my dish, but good views.

Best Fish and Chips, lovely staff

Food served really quickly, absolutely delicious and all with lovely views of Whitby. The five pints helped too.

Great place to eat and drink with wonderful views over the harbour

Food was poor, both dishes overcooked. Felt expensive based on what we received. The food didn't come out at the same time despite only ordering 2 meals with no explanation or apology. No-one checked on us during the meal even though it was not busy. Disappointing overall.

Tiny portions hard undercooked chips very bland cod Expensive for what it is. Hands down the worst fish and chips in Whitby.

Great mornay and lovely location 👌

This place never disappoints! Brought family here and recommended to all my friends. Lovely atmosphere, helpful polite and attentive staff and the food is bang on and reasonably priced. I especially recommend the steaks 👌🏼 once driven from home (West Yorkshire) just to come for the steak. Dog friendly too!

Excellent food, nice drinks. What more could you ask for? Definitely need to book as it does get very busy.

It was a little bit rowdier than I expected.

Come here on a night out, drinks were amazing and cocktails were cute. Drinks were cheaper here than anywhere else (Ale and double vodka was £10 roughly, 2 cocktails £20)

We had the cod, plaice, scampi and mussels. Great portions but the cod was a bit greasy. Good for large parties.

I love this dog friendly pub, there's plenty of tables so you can find somewhere to sit 9 times out of ten. Situated right on the waterside and has lovely outside seating too. The fish and chips is really nice and always very fresh fish. Great selection of lagers and beers.

Too many people write reviews on bad experiences only, I tend to try and give good reviews when deserved…. This being said, I have been coming here for years, sometimes the food has been ok, sometimes not so much. We love it here for the views and the cheeky drinks. On this occasion I ordered the fillet steak, absolutely beautiful, the steak was cooked to perfection. A great cut of meat and beautiful home cooked chips. Staff were fantastic and checked half way through my meal that everything was all okay.

First, I looked at the menu and thought, "Damn it!" . However, when the food arrived, I was surprised that it was the largest fish and chips I had ever eaten in England! ! Very filling and delicious ☺️ It's a tourist destination, so I wonder if it's appropriate. If you do not choose the time, it will take more than 30 minutes to serve your meal. There were 6 people, and the food for 4 people was served first, and by the time the 4 people had finished eating, the remaining 2 people were served, which was quite an interesting time difference.

Great location and easy to order a range or food and drinks. Can definitely see us coming back.

We had been to Abby Wharf a few times and always enjoyed the food. When we visited Whitby again the Abby Wharf was on our list for lunch. The staff was friendly and beautiful views over the harbour. Ordered 2 haddock and chips both arrived with 2 small pieces of haddock and chips. Food was ok BUT was spoiled by a barking dog. Someone was in with there dog that kept barking and and the owner never tried to shut it up. What was supposed to be an enjoyable lunch with beautiful views was ruined by a inconsiderate owner. I thought maybe a staff member would have said something but no. There are lots of place doing amazing fish and chips in Whitby if you want to have a conversation while your enjoying lunch go somewhere else

Views over the Harbour were good.

Lovely place. Had a few drinks here. Very good grand views.

Nice restaurant with a great selection of drinks and good food

This place had only been open for a couple of weeks. Staff were friendly and helpful. We came in on a Monday lunchtime so not many people about. Balcony with a great view over the harbour and out to the sea beyond. We had kippers… absolutely fabulous, so tasty and the smokehouse that produces them is just up the road! The fish market is also just at the other side of the harbour… all local produce. The menu is great… a good selection including vegetarian options! Must come again to sample the mornay and the chowder! Great place well worth a visit! Back again! This time Mornay for me with new potatoes… absolutely delicious! For my partner it was the monk fish and he loved it! We came in the evening this time… a different ambience but was great. The tide was in in the harbour so we could see the water and lights reflecting outside the windows. Staff as before were helpful and service was quick.

We had a great meal here over the weekend. The food was so fresh and there were such great portions for the price. The great thing is that you are able to order and pay from your table so you don't have a big wait to be served. The only downside is that it was very noisy and there were a few dogs inside that were barking and as they were so busy the food was a little slow to come out. Having said that neither of these things would stop us from visiting again as these are not really things that the restaurant can control.

Geat food (however only one vegetarian option), a wide variety of beers and best placement by the tidal river

Fantastic, atmospheric place and delicious food!

Fantastic location overlooking the harbour and will be great in summer for a drink in the sunshine. I was disappointed with the food. Being in Whitby, it had to be fish and chips. I received two small pieces of cod with a handful of underwhelming chips. This place does not come close to other establishments close by, which is disappointing, being in Whitby. Unfortunately, I won't return for food, but come spring/summer, the views from the balcony with a nice cold drink are on the menu.

An excellent prawn mornay meal on Friday evening - highly recommend booking a table as it gets busy at weekends but the food, wine and ambience were all great!

Great place, delicious food, unusual atmosphere

Really nice lunch, really nice views that overlook the harbour, food was delicious, facilities in good order and friendly staff. I also left something behind that they helped me locate as well. Would definitely recommend stopping here for lunch if you are in Whitby.

Lovely restaurant, food was great

Sometimes you get a pie that's hard with no meat. Sometimes the chips are cold and brittle. Sometimes your ice cream is meh. This place was none of those things. They do it properly, 10/10 great value for money. Would come again!

We’ve been visiting for years but never written a review. This place is great for food and drinks, the venue itself is an interesting building but the views over Whitby would be hard to beat, especially on the balconies surrounding it. Definitely worth a visit. Very dog friendly too.

Great dog friendly spot, lovely views over the river Esk

Excellent we had cod and chips and scampi and chips sensible size portions not to small and not massive portions that you end up not eating half. Staff were polite and welcoming.

Barmaid spilled my cocktail over herself and swore very loudly. Luckily no children present!

Always loved this place. Great views of the harbour from balcony. Food great.

Very quiet but it is a Monday night mid January. Ordered pinwheel with new potatoes and gravy!!!!! Dreadful to say the least, new potatoes swimming in butter(should be the customers choice how much butter they want), gravy was dire not even sure what it tasted like and the pinwheel was an acquired taste and one that i won't part take in again, even my dog refused it and she is a labrador. Refused an offer for another dish as if first ain't good whats the rest like, took the offer offer a partial refund, as technically I didn't like it and it wasn't the chefs fault except for the gravy and swimming potatoes and got back a half refund, was expecting at least a tenner or better still £12 as it was £15.95. Won't be rushing back

Great staff good food enjoyed my time in the pub

Another fabulous family lunch on boxing day. Beautiful meal and surroundings. Thankyou.

Nice setting good staff and great selection of beer.

Great place to grab a beer with fish and chips overlooking the harbour.

What a lovely restaurant/bar/takeaway! We visited to get a few drinks and were pleasantly surprised with how comfortable and stylish the place was - atmosphere was fantastic and staff were very friendly - I can imagine it is the go-to place in the summer months. Of note - bar is HUGE! Can't imagine a drink they don't do 🍻 Great range of seating, with a nice view over Whitby. I also liked the touches of accessibility - there is a wheelchair lift available and the ability to order from your table.

Great fish and chips, as well as a good menu. Nice atmosphere that was family friendly. Staff very helpful and friendly. Went 3 times in 3 days for lunch. (Yes, we did eat elswhere)

Have visited this bar before and it didn't disappoint, great location in the old town overlooking the harbour with views of the sea. Nice looking bar with friendly staff. Would highly recommend it.

Our usual trip to Whitby for the New Year and Abbey Wharf for refreshments and fish and chips. As always very warm welcoming and pleasant helpful staff. We visit with our small dog who lies on the floor we once allowed her to sit on the seat at the side of me rightly so a member of staff asked if she could go on the floor as dogs are not allowed on seats. Yesterday a lady was asked to take her dog off the seat,today dogs sitting on seats. What is good for one should be the same for everybody, not a moan just an opinion.

Most delicious food ever. Had a fantastic time. Service could be a bit improved as waited a long time for the bill. The waitresses looked so tired

Toilets like a night club at 2am 50% staff need to learn customer service

Very good food and rapid service. Great view of harbour, also music and dancing after 9pm on a weekend. Drink choice excellent but very pricey, however no entrance fee for music nights. Often very busy in holiday periods. Booking recommended for a harbour view meal.

Booked a table but placed upstairs with no views

Make sure you are hungry If you go for food then portions are generous and tasty.

Chicken skewers... mmm... Chicken on a skewer... With Peppers and mushrooms Nope. Shaped-chicken nuggets with a barbecue tan and a light scattering of pepper-shrapnel and mushroom slices with a gravy-covered salad. Bon appetite...

Completely contrasting meals today. Two scampi and chips - “best scampi we have ever had”. Chicken nuggets kids meal supposedly suitable for children up to 14 but tiny portion so not the case - get more in a happy meal. Really let down by the gluten free cod. Really really greasy - oil poured out of it when I cut into it and was completely tasteless which might be expected of gluten free food ten years ago but not in 2024. The fish was so oily I had to put it on my napkin which was saturated in no time. Not sure I would recommend this as a gluten free destination as a result.

Qas really really good food was awesome only thing is all food cokes out at the same time no option for starts out first

Arrived early for our booking. We were shown straight to our table. Offered drinks quickly. Followed by friendly staff along what we like to eat. Food arrived looking great. Tasted fresh and we just what we needed.

Great range of food and drinks in a brilliant location. Well-behaved dog friendly too.

Lovely and clean, fast service big portions and amazing food

Food on a whole was pretty poor. The most anemic looking chips I’ve ever seeing looked microwaved instead of cooked in beef dripping as claimed. Staff were friendly and draught peroni was nice

On a pub crawl with a gang.. But stayed for 2 in here.!

An easy review. Straight 5 stars. I was skeptical about the whole 'Whitby's the best' thing, but this was genuinely the best fish & chips I've had for years. Good chips, tasty fish, batter as light as a feather... Dog friendly. Nice view out over the harbour. It's never gonna be busy on a Tuesday at the start of December, so plenty of space. Awesome.

Absolutely loved my monkfish. Beautifully soft and tasted excellent

Food really good, fish pie: would order again lost of fish pieces, cod & chips: good portion with light batter. Good range of beers on draught. A number of the empty tables were sticky and needed a wipe down

Love this place, spacious, fair pricing, unique 'self service ' pour your own, good menu options, Bar staff friendly and helpful, amazing view over Harbour

Lovely place the chips were a bit dry though

Busy, which is great to see in the current climate but still room to sit. Ordered food and drink on phone. Stated waiting time was 30 mins. Came out in 20 mins. Good choice of food and drink on the menu. Lovely views . Food was lovely.

Best Bar in Whitby great atmosphere

Great food choices, lots of spaces self friendly, lots of drinks options and food was spot on.

Gran ambiente, un entorno encantador y el personal era genial. Claire el gerente muy servicial con nuestra reserva. Catorce de nosotros fuimos a almorzar, la comida estaba caliente y absolutamente delicioso! Estábamos sentados en el entrepiso, que era encantador. Sin duda volveremos con nuestras familias.

We pre booked a table of 4 and was shown to our table up stairs. We all decided to have a lite bite, presuming they were starters, and a main course. We were told that they don’t do starters and it would all come out together. We asked if we could order the lite bites and then order main course, still a sharp no. We decided to order it all regardless. When it arrived, the lite bites appeared only to be starter size any way, so not sure of their serving method. I ordered a pot of muscles for main course, which were not served in what I would say a pot is, but just a regular soup bowl. Through out us dining, we had no one come and ask if everything was ok, which surely is hospitality standard? The food we had I would say was average and service could do with some TLC. I would probably visit again as the venue is great and lively atmosphere.

Outstanding food and service will definitely be returning!.

Great place for a drink, the food looked good

Mainly used as a part venue in the evenings of festivals in Whitby, I can’t say anything about the food I’ve never eaten here the staff did however look confused when a friend asked what stout they had on and after much staff discussion it was decided they had none until my friend looked at the various pumps on tap and saw at least two! That said £18 for three drinks is a bit much even if it’s a captive audience.

Absolutamente brillante comida y servicio. Olla de mejillón sublime y la hamburguesa de queso con tocino excepcional. Personal tan encantador. Gracias

Probably one of the worst pub meals I've ever had! 5 slices of haloumi with sweet chilli sauce in a budget breadcake - no salad or any thought to taste. 8Would never eat there again.

The best fish and chips we've had in a long time! Can't wait to go again!

Restaurante ocupado, pero aún así gran servicio y comida era muy bueno. Permitió la entrada de perros. Precios razonables. La comida llegó a tiempo para decir que estaba ocupado. Recomendaría

Always visit whenever in Whitby. Always a great friendly atmosphere.

Nice place but at over £5.00/pint it's a bit expensive

Be aware, if you book a table for 4 and only 3 turn up, you lose your deposit if you don't inform them prior. Apparently they expect 3 people to share a small table that just about fits 2😤😤

We find the atmosphere & view of the quayside lovely.

Dinner with a view on the outside terrace at the end of October. Quick service, nice atmosphere and the best fish-pie I have probably ever eaten.

A great place to go to and meet up with friends, or to go and watch the views from the balcony weather permitting, also a great place for dog lovers even got a doggy menu. Food is good value n service great. Also great choice of drinks. All in one place.

We visited on Goth weekend it was busy! But the service was impeccable

We eat in here regularly, Lovely interior and view. The staff are really friendly. The food is great, always arrives quickly. It's Dog friendly (paws on floors) and loads of seating available.

Great food, good selection of drinks. We went at lunchtime so just starting to get busy. Been later on in the day and going into the evening many years ago and really enjoyed it.

Absolutely amazing wasn't judge for being on my own service amazing staff amazing food hot couldn't ask for ant better will recommend and its the first place I've been where pets are allowed to eat with there human amazing what can I say.

Lovely meal everytime I go. Definitely worth every penny

Called here for lunch while visiting Whitby for the day with my family - and I’m so glad we did - we found a table an browsed the menu - absolutely love the self serve beer pumps :) they do have a bar you can order from but the novelty of serve your self is fun - all our meals ordered arrived soon after ordering an were all piping hot - bacon cheese burgers I’m told were really lovely an the Mornay packed with fish an a lovely sauce an crumble topping - the chips were to die for proper chips not some nasty cheap frozen efforts - we left full an contented will be back when visiting again :)

Don’t let the few poor reviews put you off visiting. We booked very last minute, to dine there last Monday evening. I then checked the reviews and was dubious. I’m so glad we ignored the poor reviews and went, as we had the most delicious meal - the fish pie was the best I have tasted and my husband also loved his haddock morney. Washed down with a Peach Bellini and refreshing pint. (You can even pour your own). It’s a large and modern restaurant with lovely views over the river and great music playing. Don’t miss out and enjoy your evening at Abbey Wharf.

The thing about visiting Whitby, the sea air makes your legs wobbly. We had to sit outside side on a terrace with a lovely view and must have stayed too long. Sure enough, when I got up to leave, my legs had gone wobbly 😭. They have all the usual beers here and served lovely meals. Great staff and friendly service. Just be careful if you sit outside!

This is the first bad review I have ever written. I work in a and e and since we left the restaurant this evening I’ve put it into perspective that there are far worse problems. Extremely poor customer service and very unkind manager.

Absolutely awful. We went here on supposed good reviews. It was hard to get seated for 9 of us but we squashed into a table borrowing chairs from elsewhere. The staff wasn't interested in seating us as the place is packed and you can take it or leave it. They do work hard. Whilst our meals all came up around the same time they were barely Luke warm (which tells me not enough waiting staff) I don't like cold food but didn't send it all back as the hassle to get seated in the first place had an adverse affect on the nice lunch it should have been. The fish was so minimal in the batter (I should have had fish fingers had they had some! And the last 3 Scampi out of its little dish were swimming in oil that I took, the (not quite an inch) tiny bit of meat out of the batter save drinking the oil. I had saved for this for months to take my adult kids out to lunch in Whitby a total waste of money for what it was - but kept my mouth shut so as not to spoil the day!

Cool place to help yaself to beer pumps.

Had some monkfish, side salad and chips was ok nothing special, not that I'm not a dog lover but people were coming in with 3.4 dogs at a time and was a bit off putting woof woof

Lovely building. Food roughly £20 per meal with a soft drink. Dogs are allowed, which I dont mind, but I didn't enjoy one at my table sniffing my food as I ate. The owner didn't have it on a lead. The fish pie and burgers were lovely. However, the gammon was quite dry.

Food fresh and good value, and the atmosphere very relaxed and lovely staff

Lovely food and great atmosphere.

It's fantastic for food and meetings with family and friends and also social gatherings

Nice view over the esk. You can either order at the bar or via app. The App-Order was to complicated for my liking. You had to register. Food was all right. They have one vegan option.

Absolutely disgusting customer service, especially from the bar manager. Ordered a long island iced tea, what consists of 5 spirits mixed with coke and lemon juice! Couldn't taste any alcohol what so ever so took it back asked for it remaking, but they point blank refused! Asked for money back was refused again! Her excuse was she apparently watched her make it and knew it was made right! They refused to try it but still said there was nothing wrong with it?! We will never be returning here due to the attitude of the bar manager and staff. However I would definitely recommend Macy Brown's for cocktails as they know how to make a long island iced tea.

We only went to the fish and chip shop take away section so I can’t speak for the restaurant, but the fish butty they serve is shocking. A mini roll from a multipack, nothing wrong with the fish just the bread issue. Upon asking the lady working if they had run out of normal sized bread rolls she said this was how they always serve them. Shocking, especially for the price they charge
