Fantastic old coaching inn in the heart of Old Whitby… amazing small plate food… real atmosphere and history to the place which was wonderful… it’s quite small so you have to be lucky to get a table… but well worth it…

Didn't stay here. Came for a drink and yapas ( delicious Yorkshire tapas). Lovely cosy pub. Landlord and landlady very hospitable. Definitely recommend.

Popped in for a pint and a coffee. Beer good . Lots of food being eaten by others , who all seemed to enjoy it. Great location. Dog friendly. Cash or card. Very good interaction with the bar personnel. This is the second time I've been in here and found it very good on both times. Only issue is it's not very big. 2 rooms with bar in both.

nice place and service. However, beer quality was very disappointing. Why? It tasted stale, was not cool enough and the ale selection was very mediocre.

Great Spot. A proper Pub, good range of beers and other drinks. Nice bar snacks would recommend the Cheese on Toast, more of a Rarebit only better. On a cold day try a hot toddy. This Pub will put a smile on your face.

Cental location and a good vibe. You will be told be leave if you have a party of more that 4 people. Service is grumpy. Beer is average.

Brilliant location, however refusing service to a group, especially when most have them have bought drinks already is horrifically bad business practice. If you can be this dismissive of custom, then you don’t deserve it.

My favourite pub in Whitby. Great range of beers, Friendly staff. Quite small so you often end up chatting to people next to you. Warm pork scratchings too!

The service was really really poor. The beer not much better. The guy behind the bar was just awful to almost everyone that came through the door. The beer is also crap. One to avoid.

This is a really lovley pub, feels like it hasn't changed in a hundred years (in a good way!). Theres a good selection of ales and the staff are all very friendly. The food is also excellent and served late! Particularly good as most other places that serve food close early locally. Had the french onion soup, was great and you could tell was homemade and not just chucked in the microwave. The pub is small but give it a go if youre in Whitby

Came here after a recommendation from a local YouTuber guide simply Whitby a must watch if you plan to visit Whitby A small but very quaint welcoming pub Dog friendly that does bandanas for the RNLI The place is very small so if you have prams and pushchairs they will need to be left out side (there is a notice as you walk in) They do serve food ypas (yorkshire tapas). Local beer served on draught. Called in a second night 9pm and was still able to order food I can recommend the French onion soup amazing. Warm pork scratchings served in a 1/2 pint glass was amazing. I have no connection to the simply Whitby YouTube channel this review and others of my visit to the town are done based on my own experience of visiting the town of Whitby.

Wonderful stay in the center of Whitby. The room is located above the room, from which you cannot hear any noise. The rooms are quite large and although the location is dated, there is no lack of comfort. The whole team is really welcoming and nice. You can have lunch or dinner at the pub, or just stop to drink and have a chat with the patrons of the place or with the owners themselves who we found very nice. I would say it was one of the best stays I had here in England. We hope to return soon

The pub is in a great location but as far as it goes .The rooms are very jaded old and worn out ,cracked window in the bathroom ,telly didnt work thats just the tip of the iceberg . At £180 pounds for the 2 nights a very poor show . No breakfast ,just crisp and biscuits in the bedroom ,not everyone idea of breakfast . We should have checked maybe but a pot of poridge which you do with hot water would have been better. On the whole whitby is a nice place had a lovely meal on the sat , as a birthday treat i guess it was good and you would exspect the pub is qeurky with it uneven floors but thats the nature of the place Shower not to bad says close the door so you dont set the alarms of ,maybe shouldnt leave big gaps at the top of the doors All in all could be better

Called in for a pint before going back up the 199steps. Lovely old place. Atmosphere and character. Beer very expensive at £13.40 for 2pints. I’m not a rich American tourist I’m a retired bin man. Weatherspoons down the road is half the price. Love Whitby though.

The fact that the Black Horse is small results in a very friendly atmosphere, most convivial. The Yorkshire tapas (yapas) are excellent. I would particularly recommend the pigs in blankets, served with 'old peculier' gravy and apple sauce. The previous statement is a hint at the 'icing on the cake - old peculier' on draft. There is a fine selection of other beers, but the 'old pec' is exquisite. Hope I haven't praised this pub too much, and too many go, because I'd be devastated if I couldn't get in the next time I go.

I can't remember a time that I've visited Whitby and NOT come in here at least once. Even as a kid. Excellent pub. If I ran a pub, I'd model it on this place. Excellently kept real ales. Super friendly and welcoming staff. Dog friendly. Simple bar-snacky food (Yapas). We had pigs in blankets with gravy dip and a gorgeous cheese on toast. Well done Black Horse for being consistently good for all of my living memory.

We booked a table as this was a highly rated place for a roast dinner near Scarborough. I had called ahead and enquired about vegetarian roast dinner options for my girlfriend. On the phone I was assured there were multiple options and although this technically was the case, neither were necessarily the best accompaniments for a roast (stuffed pepper and stuffed pasta). The service was great and we had a lovely table in a corner and the atmosphere was cozy and great. I ordered the beef roast dinner and my girlfriend ordered the stuffed peppers with a roast. The food came relatively quickly. The selection of vegetables was nice and was a welcomed change to have red cabbage and cheesy leeks although they would have been a bit more generous with the portion size as it was to share between the 2 of us. It would have also been nice to have some optional extras on the menu like a portion of cauliflower cheese. The roast dinner also only came with 2 roast potatoes which were really big but would have preferred 3 or 4 smaller ones. It came with a jug of gravy however it was meat gravy and there was not a vegetarian alternative but luckily my girlfriends stuffed peppers were quite saucy so her dinner wasn't dry. My beef was nice however it was slightly chewy and could have been hotter coming out and was only kept warm by hot gravy. Bit of an irrelevant side note but the loos were really nice! Everything else was really lovely and we did have a nice meal and I appreciate it is a small country pub in Scarborough but if you advertise as vegetarian friendly then I think it needs to follow through fully - for example being advised they don't have a veggie gravy upon ordering the dinner or even having a veggie alternative. I'm sorry to be negative, especially when we did have such a lovely time (hence the 4 stars) bu my girlfriend has been vegetarian for 5 years and situations like these feel very frustrating and easily avoidable if staff are more aware and informed.

Amazing quality 5 star's for the exlarge haddock. It's my once a week treat and oh how I look forward to it. I would like the add that the service is gold star and the staff are amazing and very welcoming and really can't do enough. The owner is the Friyer and he really knows his stuff and this comes from a friyer in Leeds. Now retired in Scarborough. If you're lucky enough to find this chippy you won't be disappointed.
