Estbek House in Scarborough

Lovely location and ambience. Friendly welcome and knowledgeable, eclectic wine collection. I found my food bland - scallops starter, halibut main and trio of small puddings of which the lime meringue was tasty but strawberry sponge supermarket standard. Others enjoyed their ceab claws and seafood mornay dishes

Had our eye on staying and eating here for a long while. Finally got the chance and we were delighted. Firstly the room was lovely with views to the sea, the food was the real reason and did not disappoint. Beautiful flavoursome, impeccable presentation. Attentive service made for a fantastic experience. Loved it

Piccolo locale, il cuoco /titolare cucina da solo a vista nella bella cucina al piano terreno. Al primo piano due sale .Ottima esperienza, servizio rapido e professionale. Ottime scallops, eccellente lobster e cod.

We visited whilst staying at Raithwaite Hall and wanted to try somewhere outside of the hotel. Estbeck was the perfect place to celebrate my 40th Birthday. The food, wine and hospitality were all outstanding. Would recommend the fish pie.

We came for a special occasion (my 60th) which was made more special by the whole experience. We stayed for 2 nights and both evening meals were amazing! .The fish was cooked perfectly, served with fresh greens and the steak was melt in the mouth with the best chips ever! As for the desserts...well we don't usually do desserts but these were absolutely heavenly. My favourite was the creme brùlee but the others were divine too. Our room had everything we needed with a lovely comfy bed. The staff were lovely and friendly and made us feel welcome. We will definitely return.

We read the reviews before attending the restaurant and to be honest we did feel abit unsure what to expect. Venue- fantastic, lovely cosy little set up with plenty of space upstairs for dinning. Nice decor. Staff- very polite, very attentive and caring, always talking to you with a smile. Wine- fantastic… however that’s where things stop. Food- although presented well and cooked very well (we had scallops and halibet), there was no seasoning or taste to the meal including the accompanying sauces… we were quite taken back with how bland the food was… now we understand we’re the reviews come in. The cost of the meal was as we’d expect to pay as very similar to normal restaurants we eat in, however the seasoning needs to be addressed before we would come and eat again. Desserts- average… I wouldn’t rush to have them again. Overall a shame as the restaurant is lovely and fantastic atmosphere with the staff.

Tim and David could not be better hosts. Very welcoming and friendly, and couldn't do more to ensure the comfort of their guests. Both dinner and breakfast were fantastic. Wonderful food, beautifully cooked and excellent value for cuisine of this quality. The carefully curated wine list complemented the menu perfectly. Their AA Rosetees are well deserved. We'd agree with a previous review that Estbek is more of a restaurant with rooms than a hotel. That said, the rooms are well-equipped, comfortable and clean. A gem of a restaurant in a lovely location. Would definitely recommend to anyone with a discerning palate!

Handy for the Cleveland way which pretty much goes past the front door. Very much a restaurant with rooms, both aspects are excellent. Cosy room in the roof space, warm and quiet with a lovely big comfy bed. Slightly tricky staircase on the way up. Dinky little en suite shower room. Food was also very good, seafood ( market fish) based. Carefully chosen wine list to complement the food. The mini dessert selection/ choices were entertaining, but none of them stood out to recommend. Great breakfast in the morning too.

Our dinner reservation was on Saturday 12th august which was regatta weekend. We were surprised that a table was available when we booked on the 11th as this is usually very popular. Whilst the food and service was up to normal expectations we found the prices had increase beyond reasonable expectations costing over £60 per head. Checking the menu a day later we noted prices for all food has been reduced for example we were charged £53 for a fillet steak which was £38 24 hours later. Similar reductions were seen on halibut and fish pies and both starters and desserts. We shall not return but advise anyone booking to check and download the menu beforehand and compare this to prices in the night as it would appear that they vary prices in an attempt to take advantage of 0 Potentially busier times.

Friendly staff, fantastic food, lovely venue. Stayed for the night in one of the rooms. Had a really first class evening meal. I highly recommend the ‘fish pie’. Also a wonderful breakfast before leaving.

Excellent experience. Decor and appearance ; welcome; service; cuisine; nteresting wine selection. This place is a gem.

Overall, pretty good ,but with a few reservations. Very good staff [bar one] and very good food - the sea trout dish we had was excellent apart from the very dry new potatoes which required a good dollop of butter to make them palatable. The wine list only listed full bottles. I asked the waitress if white wine was available by the glass and was told that is was but only in 125ml glasses and either [unspecified] chardonnay or sauvignon blanc. This unbelievable lack of choice is a first for me. If you are arriving by car, you may well need to park in the new and expensive car park a short way away.

Outstanding, absolutely superb better than mitchelin restaurants we’ve been to. Instead of small plates with no choice ie tasting menus this had a good choice selection reminiscent of the old masters, the food was superbly balanced. The lady hostess was outstanding, look forward to coming again, highly recommended

Haven't written a review for several years but this place really pushed the button so here I go. Booked this from Australia months ago based on good reviews and photos of rooms and restaurant. Luke-warm welcome and showed to an over-heated, airless garret at the top of the house. We had requested a quiet room but this was claustrophobic with a small double bed. Our request to move to another room was granted and we went to another king size bedded room at the front. King size in UK means queen size in most other jurisdictions. Nothing luxurious about this. No nice touches. Knackered pillows and tired old furnishings. Basic bathroom and if you don't pull on the top of the shower door to get out you could be in there for ever. On the plus side we were not charged for our "upgraded" room. Place appears to be on the downhill run. No vacancy sign was up but only us and another couple in residence. This restaurant had acquired a double rosette from the AA - so we were expecting something really special. Whitebait starter was good, paid extra for crab spring rolls which were pretty bland. Our main of fish pie comprised of a round pile of chopped up seafood smothered in a white sauce with a seaweed accompaniment and boiled potatoes and peas. Where was the pastry in the seafood pie? Nowhere to be seen in this totally tasteless dish. Dessert was an offering of several small sweet concoctions which you could get a selection of 5 of if you shared. Given what had come before we opted for the cheese plate which had had no intervention from the chef...the best course. Yalumba wines appear to have a share-holding in this establishment as their logo and wines are everywhere. In Australia we know them for their budget boxes of cask wine but here they were shown a great deal more reverence. Only NZ and Australia featured on the red wines list. No European and no other "new world" wines......and this is a double rosette restaurant?? One wine by the glass and that was a Yalumba Shiraz which we passed on. Went to the pub after dinner for a glass of their house red....much nicer. In summary over-priced and under-delivered in everything. Pleased to move on

This is the second time I have visited the restaurant. I'm genuinely a very positive person and usually reserve my reviews for favourable experiences. Sadly, on this occasion I felt the need to leave a less flattering review. Though the food is very good the prices really are over inflated. These are the sort of prices of a top notch restaurant. The sample menu on line is hugely misleading. For example, the same starters listed as approximately £9 on the website are £14 and the main courses that are £27.95 are £32.95. I understand that the cost of fish, ingredients and overheads have increased but these prices really are excessive for the food that was served. Accurate representation should be provided with sample menus. Generally, the restaurant, though pleasant, lacks any warmth or atmosphere. The staff are polite but not overly welcoming. The restaurant was very quiet for a Saturday and generally lacked atmosphere. I believe the owners should rethink the strategy for this lovely restaurant. Creating a warm and inviting welcome, dropping prices and attracting more customers would encourage people to return. Sadly, based on this experience, I won't be.

We visited in December, we had a drink downstairs and as per our last visit we we're made to feel very welcome, we ordered various starters, myself scallops, they were cooked to perfection, i had the plaice on the recommendation of the waiter, once again cooked to perfection, the deserts are a must, especially when you can share them on smaller portions. All in All first class food and even better service the owners should be proud.

Came with friends for my birthday. First time I had been here for a few years. Lovely setting with polite and helpful staff on arrival. Had a drink in the front bar/lounge while we perused the menu. then taken to our table upstairs. food was excellent!! Great whitebait for me followed by an outstanding cod and smoked haddock mornay in scallop shells. Glad we kept the bread to mop up the sauce. My friends said the 'specials' scallops starters were good - 3 decent sized ones as well. Good selection of wines. Only downside was the delay in getting our deserts. Seemed to wait ages to be given a desert menu after finishing our mains, and then waited even longer for the waitress to come and take our order. However, the idea of picking a selection of mini deserts was a great idea with a good, high quality selection. Cheese board described as 'poor and boring' by friends and hence not recommended.

Went for a birthday treat but like most of the reviews we found the experience did not match up to the price. Our room was dated but the bedding was good quality. The information in the room was stained. We found the food bland and under seasoned although the service was very good. The drinks are also very expensive. Breakfast is only served until 9.15 and you can’t checkin until 4pm . I don’t think an hour either side would hurt. Won’t be going back as have had much better elsewhere.

We visited Esbeck House for an evening meal on recommendation by a friend. We loved the quiet charm of the dining room with simple and pristine white table linen. One of us is disabled and the period building does not lend itself to modification for...

This was our second visit to Estbek House restaurant and we loved it! Very nice setting and ambience and delicious food and wines. Service was excellent, we were very well looked after by David. Some people may say it is expensive, but we thought it...

A nice small hotel with a lot missing. Top floor room was well finished but very small. Window did not open and bed on one side was tight to the wall. Bathroom was small and lacked any toiletries other than the very basic, no water...

Visited for our silver wedding anniversary, the food was amazing. We had to have the sharing desserts too which were lovely. The salmon for breakfast had been smoked on site and was delicious. CanK wait for an excuse to visit again

We arrived and were asked what drinks we would like - but unfortunately they had neither of our choices - tomato juice and a cider - saying there was no call for it! We were then shown to our table which was in a pleasant...

This used to be our favourite restaurant but we thought it has lost its mojo. It is a treat to eat here because it is not cheap. I had scallops for starters and halibut for main course with a rather tasteless under seasoned crayfish sauce....

Visited on a Saturday night whilst holidaying locally. The restaurant had been recommended by a friend. The first impression is that the service is very good, staff are relaxed but professional and we enjoyed a drink at the bar whilst looking at the menu. We...

Our first visit having heard so many good things from friends and neighbours. Great service friendly and knowledgeable. The food was superb, from the starter which we shared, delicately fried cod, to the main course. I had fish pie which was different and superb with...

Let down by bland food. Service and location great. Plaice with a lemon sauce that had no discernible taste of lemon. A whitebait started that was fish tasting batter shrapnel. First and last time at this restaurant - overpriced for the quality.

Service brilliant from the moment you enter the door. All the wines were excellent and food exceptional. Cod goujons very good and baked Whitby crab a real treat. My girlfriend loved the scallops and the plaice with creamy lobster sauce - so much so I...

The food lives up to they hype and was some of the best if not THE best seafood dishes I have ever eaten, each course as good as the last and this includes breakfast. Staff were helpful, friendly and professional and the service at both...

We had an evening meal here last week. The food was excellent. My fish pie,more like a fish stack in a rich sauce was one of the best seafood dishes I have had. Selection of desserts were also stunning.

Excellent choice of, predominately, seafood, beautifully prepared, presented and served. Attention to detail spot on. Wine choice perfect. Personally, I would have preferred classical chips with my lobster as opposed to skin on if only to have had them crunchy, this is only a minor...

Very enjoyable evening. Fabulous meal and quality service. Small, but nice surroundings. Wine expensive, but seems to be the same wherever you go nowadays. Overall, we decided to splash out and it was certainly very good.

We dined at Estbeck house for our joint birthday, we booked here as we wanted an extra special evening. Unfortunately we were disappointed. It was very expensive, £45 for a steak that was served with a side salad that you would expect at a chain...

I'd heard about and seen Estbek House on a number of occasions. We made the decision to stay for a night. What a disappointment. The tiniest room ever - not at all comfortable, a shower described as 'power' - it most definitely wasn't. The food...

First proper meal out without kids since beginning of 2020. A really special experience which felt like the team at Estbeck wanted us to enjoy. Walked from Raithwaite Hall under incredible starlit sky (took about 25mins, bring a torch!). Drink on arrival included wine tasting...

A huge disappointment. We were staying in Whitby for a midweek break. The Estbek had the reputation of the best seafood restaurant in the area so we took a taxi to Sandsend. What a mistake- we could have had a better meal at any of...

I can't understand some of the negative comments. I've always wanted to dine at Estbek during our trips to Whitby and was not disappointed. Our meal was most enjoyable, tasty starter, hake beautifully cooked, and delightful little taster puddings. Good wine too. Service was courteous...

Unimaginative. It felt like this place was trading on some AA rosettes earned over a decade ago. Did the chef leave? Hugely overpriced. Nothing was really good. Dull mouse boucle. A watery bland soup. The pepper and walnut pate was bland and was accompanied by...

We last visited Estbeck House 10 years ago . We retuned to Whitby for the weekend and re visited Estbeck House . The service and food was superb, yes this is not a cheap night out but we throughly enjoyed our evening . Wine and...

Sadly disappointed with the high expectations I had for recent dinner. The food was fine but pub quality and not justifying these prices. Combined with decor and an ambience that did not add up to the promised experience. I do not lightly criticise after the...

We ate in the restaurant as part of our stay in the hotel and had a lovely evening. The food was brilliant and the staff were very personable and attentive. The bottle of wine we had (Seifried Riesling) is one of the nicest I've tasted....

Beautiful restaurant with wonderful service. Probably one of the last restaurants to use plastic Covid separations between tables. Very good ambiance. Our food was of high quality: hot smoked salmon, white bait, fresh cod with samphire and new potatoes - all delicious. To top this...

High class dining in elegant surrounds with excellent service. Note the price reflects that too but it’s an indulgence worth treating yourself to if in the area. Go for the Lobster Thermidor, splendid stuff.

This place just oozes quality - the staff all have that calm professional manner that comes from years of experience. The menu is fish-based and not huge - always a good sign and the food was absolutely delicious. The only thing that surprised me was...

Romantic, great choice of dishes, superb knowledge of wine, with some interesting choices (S. Australia a favourite of mine too). We had a great time in the restaurant, and the breakfast was of similar quality. Worth the visit and a return one.

This place is amazing. We visited for our anniversary meal whilst staying in Whitby and it was definitely a special experience. We can highly recommend the lobster (all ready prepared so you don't have to fiddle with it) steak and the selection of desserts. The...

Thank you David for a beautiful stay at Estbeck House. The food was amazing!!! Your hotel is perfect and the kitchen on show was so impressive

I see that Estbek is up for sale. The new owners may wish to consider whether customer service might be improved. We live just round the corner from the restaurant and have always felt like an inconvenience in all our dealings with the Estbek. When...

My wife and I stayed for two nights on a DBB rate. On arrival we were shown to our attic bedroom which was extremely small and dark , it rather took my breath away. Also the toilet was not cleaned properly on the first clean....

Just because everyone else thinks this place is amazing does not mean it is, you can have good food and be left wanting as I found my experience here tonight. I found this high end fish restaurant, lacking in anything interesting on the menu, cod,...

Excellent from start to finish - faultless food, wine and service. Everywhere spotless and very relaxed atmosphere. I’ve noticed a previous reviewer grumbling about the fish pie - clearly they don’t have a very good palate and might be better at Wetherspoons! We both thought...

Wouldn’t allow you to sit in the dining room despite it being empty to look at the menu with a view to then dining. Held you downstairs instead in a claustrophobic room opposite the bar and noisy kitchen. Rude, hostile and unwelcoming female manager made...

We had a reasonable meal.....not cheap but wouldn't grumble too much about the price. However the fish pie..."deconstructed" !!. What a laugh....Look...it's not a fish pie if it comes as separate bits. Please...don't be daft...make a proper fish pie...altogether with browned toasted spud and cheese...

This was our 4th visit to Estbeck House and it is so obvious to see why this amazing restaurant has so many prestigious accolades, including winning the White Rose Awards for two consecutive years. What can I say? Stunning food, attentive service and a beautiful...

We have reviewed over 350 places in the last few years and I thought this would be spectacular, but dissapointed in many ways. Firstly let me start with the positives. The place overlooks a wonderful bay and the restaurant is lovely inside. Main course of...

Where to start …. We eat out in some very high end restaurants and we came to Whitby today for a few days staycation. We booked this restaurant in advance as a nice dress up night out . The staff saw us in as if...

We came for a meal here 3 years ago and decided to return and stay the night as well. The room was fine and well equipped. It's a a bit of a haul up a narrow staircase which may be a problem for some people....

We stayed here one night for a wedding anniversary. The food and service were outstanding. Very friendly staff. Great fresh seafood, very well handled. A highlight of our tour of Yorkshire.

The food was lovely, and the service was good, but it was massively over priced. The menus were grammatically incorrect and had been printed out on sheets of stickers.

Visited here at the end of October. A little pricey, but worth it as a treat. A great location and setting, great service and set out well for covid. The food was amazing from the Carrot + Ginger Soup, the Estbeck Seafood Pie and the...

Possibly a little expensive for the overall standard of food, but it was the best restaurant we went to in the area. Really good was the lobster Thermidor. Would definitely have it again. The hake was also good. The small puds were very enjoyable particularly...

If we're ever in and around Whitby we eat at the Estbek at least once. The food is excellent, the service really attentive and personal and the general ambience is really comfortable. We always have a really good night - can't recommend it as a...

The restaurant is lovely and the service was excellent. We were given complimentary celery soup in a little cup to hold off the hunger pangs while waiting for the starter. A nice little touch which was appreciated. I enjoyed my starter of salmon mousse and...

As the title states, this was unfortunately a distinctly average meal, at an over inflated price.The restaurant appears to be stuck in the 90’s, both the decor, menu and service. The good was ok, side dishes very basic and slightly uninspired.I would expect when paying £30 a main course that the waiters would top up water glasses for you? And that your coats would be taken, maybe I’m being a little unfair with Covid regs, however other restaurants I have visited have managed to do both.We were left feeling disappointed and £150 lighter

A restored Georgian house in Sandsend,a bijou fishing village on the North Yorkshire coast with a wonderful menu. Loved the fish pie. Made so welcome.

Took a few weeks to get booked in, but worth the wait! Excellent as always..tho i really need to try something different next time..im just addicted to the fish pie! Covid secure, with screens and excellent service 😃

We visited this exceptional restaurant on the first night of the new restrictions for Covid 19 and so had to wear masks on arrival. We sat down at 7 15 and so had plenty of time. We ordered a fabulous bottle of New Zealand savingon blanc - pricey at 30 pounds but a special wine and several notches above a supermarket wine. We were given super parsnip and apple soup while we were waiting We had whitebait and wild salmon for starters, both good and then seafood pie which was a stack of fish - white fish scallops and prawns - served with side vegetables. For puddings we had a selection of sweets - 5 on a plate to share which was a lovely idea and worked really well with coffee. The service was friendly and efficient throughout and the evening was only slightly marred by the shocking rudeness of some of the other diners. This was handled with the utmost patience and courtesy. We will be back!!

Really excellent meal in a lovely restaurant. My wife and I visited mid September and had booked a number of weeks in advance - just as well as they were full, and are booked out through October. My seafood pie was super; a large stack of fish topped with scallops, served with new potatoes and vegetables. My wife had the baked crab, again excellent. We had a selection of mini desserts to follow, just the right size after fairly rich mains. Not cheap but a very nice evening.COVID-19 - entry procedures were good; we were asked to wear masks as we walked through the restaurant. The tables were well spaced and temporary transparent screens were placed a strategic points. All staff wore masks at all times.

Really I wanted to give a rating of 4 and a half, not 5 as only small things were wrong. We were seated promptly and felt very Covid secure. Disposable menus on the table, all good but we were not asked if we would like to order a drink until a waiter came to take our food order. We would have liked a gin and tonic whilst we studied the menu. Ordered our food and a bottle of delicious sauvignon blanc wine. The halibut was cooked to perfection and the side dish of seasonal veg was perfect. We shared a selection of mini desserts, the star being hot cherry bakewell. Excellent food, just a little lack of awareness by the friendly waiters until you caught their attention.

One of the best places we've been to in a long time. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left staff were attentive, timely, and managing the ever-changing Covid-19 regulations with aplomb. Of course, great service has to be matxhed with great food, and Estbek House did not disappoint. The smoked salmon mousse was devine, and the whitebait a masterclass in how to cook battered fish! This was followed up with a perfect fish pie and a delicious crab. All in all a great experience and we now understand why this place gets booked up.

I made a reservation through Open Table last Monday for dinner on Sunday; Estbek phoned on Friday to say that they had made a mistake and the table was no longer available. It is of course always hard to find restaurants open for dinner on a Sunday. particularly at what is now short notice and when many restaurants are closed because of the virus. This is shocking incompetence!

We came here 3 years ago and promised ourselves we would come back.Covid got in the way of our first booking but finally got back this weekend.Firstly of all the places i've visited since covid this place has the best precautions and systems i've encountered.The food was absolutely stunning from our crab starter to the fantastic fish pie,the service was immaculate as always too..The best compliment i can give this place is that even though its pretty expensive,it's absolute fantastic value for money

A comfortable two night stay for our second visit to Estbek House.Our bed was one of the most comfortable we have had in a hotel.They are taking the COVID 19 precautions very seriously, screens between tables and regular cleaning.I managed to sprain my ankle badly whilst there and all the staff, especially Jeanette, went out of their way to help make me as comfortable as possible.Lobster Thermidor was delicious. and the desserts were fantastic!!My only suggestion would be to add some wholemeal or granary bread for toasting at breakfast. We were only offered rather disappointing white toast.Otherwise I would definitely recommend this little hotel.

Our first visit after visiting Whitby for over 15 years. Delicious meals. I had salmon starter but the best was definitely the fish pie. It is an expensive night out but a definite treat and both my fish dishes were very good. Would love to eat here again sometime.

Overrated and overpriced. Baked crab was dry and the hake over cooked. The fried squid starter (calamari by any other name) was tiny and I reckon came in at a quid a ring. The waiters were nice though...

My boyfriend and I went to celebrate both getting into university and were not disappointed with friendly fast service and delicious food. The cannelloni and crab were fantastic and the mini desserts we had to share were to die for. Would say it has a smart dress code with people in suits and heels although there were a couple people in more casual clothes (in the evening that is).

Absolutely brilliant meal again. Lovely friendly staff and the food was amazing. 4th time we've been and we have never been disappointed

My wife and I booked dinner here after reading positive reviews. What a great decision it was. The setting is lovely and on arrival we were reassured by the Covid 19 guidelines being adhered to. The two dining areas provide an intimate setting with lovely background music being played. The service was exemplary and my fillet steak fantastic. The wine list was good and we shared a lovely bottle of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon from the Margaret River region. Overall a delightful evening.

This place is fantastic.We booked online and were worried it may be a bit ‘upmarket’ for us, but we shouldn’t have worried - it is excellent and the welcome you receive puts you at ease.The food is delicious. I had baked cod and smoked haddock, while my wife had her favourite halibut.Our choice of wine was helped by our host and was lovely.All in all, it was superb, and we would go back in a heartbeat.Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We were a little apprehensive as this was our first meal out of lockdown. However, this restaurant takes its customers’ health very seriously and had excellent social distancing measures - unlike some local restaurants. Our meal was delicious - the cod and smoked haddock mornay was wonderful and the pudding sharing platter was totally yummy. Lovely waitress - very professional. We will be back - with friends.

My sister was booked to stay here 24th April. With the lockdown she emailed and requested her deposit back. They have not responded to her email but telephoned her and said we will just book you in later. She explained her condition and asked again for a refund they have refused.

Special birthday evening. Stunning seafood expertly prepared in the open kitchen. Dining room - fine and relaxing Would recommend highly

Wine prices are very top end food ok but not fantastic. I have visited Michelin starred restaurants with much better food and lower prices. Produce quality was very good but staff neither warm or friendly. Not much on offer for non fish eaters. Sadly would not visit again.

We stayed three nights at Estbek, occupying the largest room in the building on the first floor. The room looked rather tired and we thought needed a revamp as the window could not be opened for ventilation; the shower-head was hanging off and the quilt on the bed was, according to the label, over ten years old.We had to request water for our room on all three nights which we thought a tad mean.The food, however, was good although the menu hardly varied during the course of our stay, and although dinner, bed and breakfast was included in our package, some of the restaurant prices were eye-wateringly expensive!Breakfast was taken in the bar area which some may not appreciate but the cereals and cooked breakfasts were good. Not sure if the orange juice was concentrate!Parking was a bind as it was in the Mulgrave Estate over the bridge on, then, muddy ground which was not a welcoming start.We enjoyed our stay but felt that, for the price that we paid, value for money was not Estbek's strong point.

Back after best part of four years and delighted to report that restaurant is as good as ever! Best fish pie on the planet. My wife had her favourite of lobster Thermidor. Great service and lovely to be able to talk to the Chef and see into the kitchen and all it’s magic. As usual, started with pre drinks in the pub next door (Hart Inn) - lovely pint of black sheep.Shame that we don’t live nearer. Love Sand’s End.

We have just returned from a two night stay at Estbek House, and would highly recommend this restaurant with rooms. The welcome was warm, the room comfortable and the food exceptional.

We have just had our annual visit with friends to the Estbek House. This was our 5th or 6th visit, and we were not disappointed. The menus is inspired, the execution and service are first class. David and Tim and their staff do a great job at this quirky restaurant with rooms, where a great evening and overnight stay, not to mention an excellent breakfast are a real treat. Keep it up chaps!!

What a fabulous restaurant. Friendly and efficient staff. Wonderful food, superbly cooked with amazing flavours. Will certainly return when we are next in Sandsend.

Great service, very clean restaurant and kitchen, delicious steaks and lobster, we enjoy our visit and will return.

My wife and I are regular diners here and we had dinner here a couple of weeks ago Again we were delighted with the ambience, service and food.

We booked dinner, bed & breakfast here because my friend and I had been researching this place separately without knowing it - kismet. We had been to the restaurant before, but our friends had never been. We had a stunning weekend, helped by good weather, but mostly due to David & Tim's stunning experience of a "restaurant with rooms". We will definitely be back, either to stay or eat or both.

What a beautiful place, in a beautiful setting, with beautiful delicious food!! A fabulous place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We found this lovely restaurant on Trip Adviser and it really surpassed our expectations. We were on a break, travelling around the North of England and I can honestly say this was the best meal we ate all week. The Fish Pie was to die for, and the service so friendly and welcoming. If you're ever in the area, please go, you won't be disappointed. Plus we so wish we'd booked to stay there. They kindly showed us their accommodation, which was fabulous. If we go back to Whitby, we know where we'll be staying, far superior to other local accommodation.

Well Ooo lala Etsbek, you are tricky to park near aren’t you. And heaven forbid we’d like to sit at our table before ordering a bottle of wine, please instead let’s all stand around the cramped bar like the front of a Chinese takeaway and awkwardly discuss the vintage beams our tallest member keeps knocking their head into.

What can I say ? The most delicious meal and ambience. My daughter had her first lobster Thermidor and adored it . The dessert was amazing and finished off our meal leaving us all full and happy!!! We will be back !

My husband and I stayed here , we had heard good things about it and we weren’t disappointed!! From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome, the room was great, very quirky and lovely decor, very fitting with the building.

If you want to go for an expensive and very good quality dining experience then this is the place to go !!! They really do look after you and nothing is too much trouble for them but as with everything you do pay for it !!! I have only very minor and really irrelevant quibbles. They didn’t serve any ordinary type of gins - I am not into fancy gins and I ordered a fillet steak but was not given a steak knife. That aside the meal and service were perfect and the staff delightful. Thank you. I would highly recommend it

Visit with friends, The Menu is basically all Fish, Served to a very high standard with no shortage of choice, This is not a cheap restaurant, but service is good and The two small adjoining Dining Rooms are very peaceful to eat in, a quality that is not too easy to find .A

Had a lovely meal to celebrate a birthday. Fish was excellent. Those who had steak said it was the best they had ever had! Little desserts are fab too. Recommended for a special occasion.

We were a party of six celebrating my birthday and we all really enjoyed our meal. Everything was perfectly cooked and presented. Excellent well chosen wines, and the fantastic choice of mini desserts is not to be missed.

This was our 4th visit to Estbeck House and it is so obvious to see why this amazing restaurant has so many prestigious accolades, including winning the White Rose Awards for two consecutive years. What can I say? Stunning food, attentive service and a beautiful ambience in stunning Sandsend. The food never disappoints here, cooked to perfection and presented perfectly, just what you would expect in this top quality restaurant! Already looking forward to our next visit.
