Hetty and Betty in Scarborough

Lois and her team at Hetty and Betty couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming for our storytelling event! They made setting up and running the night an absolute pleasure. The Peacock Suite was a beautiful room and they adapted it to suit us perfectly. It became a stunning, bespoke space for our ghost stories by candlelight. Fantastic venue! - Edwyrdian Tales

Always a beautiful experience of perfect quality

A lovely little tea room that’s filled with happiness and cozy vibes. It’s a charming location where the staff are always welcoming and friendly. I came here with my family awaiting our house to be available and this was the perfect place to kill an hour. The decor really reflects the heritage of Whitby which stokes conversation and is aesthetically pleasing as you dine on some afternoon tea. The prices are good and I’d definitely recommend this place for most people who are looking to enjoy an atmosphere in warm company. Looking forward to my return visit for another scone!

Lovely place with lovely staff and plenty of space. Will definitely be returning

Absolutely beautiful! The good was top notch. We had the afternoon tea - fish and chips, with a glass of prosecco. The food wasn't greasy, the batter was light and crispy. There were enough chips for us personally. The scones were delicious - you can take these away if you'd like. The menu and other offers sound fantastic. Service was great and attended to you quickly. Can see how this place gets busy and recommended. I suggest booking though just to avoid disappointment, but they fo accept walk ins if they've the room at that time. Worth the money. Will most definitely be returning

Terrible staff. Turned away because i had three children. Was informed there weren't tables even as i was pointing out empty ones. Wasn't allowed to wait as it's apparently a first-come firs-serve basis. Terribly rude. Not likr it used to be.

Lovely setting with excellent food. Had the fish and chip afternoon tea which was absolutely fab-u-lous. This is a dog friendly cafe which is great for dog owners but for those of us that aren’t they could think of having a ‘dog area’. Personally I don’t want to have to watch the table next to us feeding their dog from the table. Nor do I want to see dog owners cuddling their dogs sat at the table.

Excellent senior menu,would highly recommend this restaurant. Fish & chips,mushy peas,pot of tea and scones ,jam and clotted cream £24 for 2

I pre booked the Fish & Chip afternoon tea as a surprise for my partner. I requested a nice table with a view and that's what I got! The food was lovely, staff pleasant and we had a table by the window with a view of the harbour. Would definitely recommend

Afternoon fish and chips beautiful. Having scones later

Had a lovely oap fish and chips, scone with jam and cream. Beautiful ❤️ Dog friendly

We called in here on Friday morning, having been in Whitby since Monday. It was our last day and we decided to have breakfast before we went for our train. I had a small full English and my partner had beans on toast. The food was lovely! Cooked to perfection and tasty. The toast was really nice too, as was the pot of tea. Service was spot on and the cafe itself was clean and nicely set out. If we'd known about this place we would have been coming in all week and I would like to have tried the fish and chips. The only negative thing I would say is I wouldn't have dogs in, but since every other person in Whitby seems to have a dog with them, I realise this would not go down well. Thanks again and we hope to return soon.

A warm greeting for our arrival for us and our dog. The 2 young men serving knew their stuff and obviously worked well together. Quiet music with a little dancing from one (I’m not sure he knew he was having a little jig; just enjoying the music). The service had had a quiet quality throughout, nothing over the top. Dog friendly, plenty of dog guests nicely spread through the cafe, in case of any crossed barking (there wasn’t), this showed experience of running a dog friendly cafe. The menu is understated, a simple list, nothing over the top. We both ordered sandwiches, I switched mine to a toastie. A half portion of chips was a good size, crispy on the outside and soft inside. Good quality food, the included coleslaw was lovely. £18 for 2 sandwiches, 1/2 chips and 2 teas. Other tables hot plate food looked good and plentiful. Compliments to the chef. Perhaps a direction sign to show the second toilet location would be of help. Overall well done to all.

Popped in for breakfast, my wife had perfectly poached eggs on toast, I had bacon, sausage and egg on toasted ciabatta, excellent quality and both really enjoyed our food. Staff were friendly. Highly recommended

We went to Hetty and Betty's with our dog. Had a lovely fish tea with scones with cream and jam at a fantastic price. Our dog was warmly welcomed unlike some of the other more famous fish and chips restaurants in Whitby. Highly recommended especially if you have dog.👍

The food was very good and reasonably priced. However the toilets require an urgent deep clean.

Lovely food which we both thoroughly enjoyed but the toilets could benefit from a deep clean

Excellent find, dog friendly with a good choice menu, very reasonable prices and friendly service.

Oh went for a day trip ended up in here what a lovely place great choice on the menu it a wee hidden gem check it out

My and my wife have been coming here for a while now and have always found it to be nothing short of exceptional. The staff are all lovely and welcoming, the food is excellent, cannot recomment enough We were also lucky enough to have gotten married here this past August. Right from the beginning Lois and Lisa were incredibly helpful, communicative and overall excellent. We had the most amazing wedding and could not have asked for a more special day so tailored to exactly what we wanted. It's without a doubt the best wedding venue in Whitby, no hidden charges, no addons that will bankrupt you and an excellent team of staff that work tirelessly to make your day special

We were recommended to try Hetty and Betty a year ago and now we eat here on every visit to Whitby as its a little gem of a place. The afternoon fish and chips are beautiful and so filling that I always end up taking my scone home. Staff very attentive amd always checking in to make sure everything is ok, Will Definitely be back next year. 🩷

A lovely little find just off the harbour. A dog friendly cafe with cosy decor, beautiful food and the most friendly service. Highly recommended.

Excellence all round. Visited loads of cafes from Bridlington to Redcar and this one by far is" THE BEST",HIGHLY RECOMMEND FROM OWNERS TO STAFF TO FOOD TO CLEANLINESS TO VIEW'S ALL ROUND "PERFECTION". WELL DONE TO ALL.WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING. FORGET THE REST PEEPS "COME VISIT THE BEST AROUND ", "YOU WOULDN'T BE DISAPPOINTED ",LOVE TO ONE AND ALL FROM DEZ & ANN AND FRENCHY'S DAISY AND LILY. XXXX

Having visited a few times whilst on holiday in the last couple of years, this place never fails to impress. Great service/ staff, lovely clean premises, excellent food and nothing too much trouble when you ask a question.

The food was really nice, we all had fish and chips and I must say it's the first time I've eaten fish and chips and it's not repeated on me. I suffer from really bad acid reflux so for me the food was a win! Unfortunately I couldn't have a drink with my meal. Really wanted a cup of tea to be told we only have full fat milk or soya, neither of which I can drink. Also maybe you should think about having a separate area for those who wish to bring their dogs. Wet stinking dog fur when I'm eating is not nice 👍🏻 Also some people have allergies or are scared of them.

If you are looking for great food and great service pay this place a visit as it’s a wonderful restaurant in Whitby! Had a large breakfast with two of most items and drinks. The food was lovely and well presented with great service from staff. Please keep this up will definitely be going back 😀

EXCELLENT SERVICE EXCELLENT QUALITY EXCELLENT STAFF EXCELLENT PLACE EXCELLENT CLEANLINESS. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. BEST BREAKFAST WE HAVE HAD FROM BRIDLINGTON TO REDCAR BY FAR. WELL DONE OWNERS AND STAFF. PLEASE DONT CHANGE A THING AS EVERYTHING IS JUST "PERFECTION AT ITS VERY BEST",LOVE TO ALL FROM DEZ N ANN AND FRENCHYS DAISY AND LILY. XXXX

Best fish & chips I ever had. Nice ambiance, kind staff. Best place

Me and my lover chose this cafe as our 1 year anniversary meal, it was nothing short of exquisite and the fish was perfect😍

All I can say is nice place for a coffee, access was good wheelchair friendly,wc ground floor, enjoy

Thanks so much for the amazing food you did for everyone on Saturday 20th July, the fish chips and peas were absolutely delicious as always, the room was amazing to accommodate so many of us plus the doggies too. Thanks again and looking forward to it again next year. Paul Gray

One off the best little tea shop in whitby and surrounding area well worth a visit the staff are very pleasant and helpful food at a great price for the amount you get on you plate

Was ok but staff did not seem botherd no atmosphere cream tea was ok but cobwebs around light fitting deffo needs cleaning

Lovely food , really presented well.excellent friendly staff. Nice environment and really relaxing. Would definitely come again.

Fabulous meal friendly and attentive service x lovely atmosphere and decor great birthday treat and Thankyou for the tour enjoyed immensely

Fantastic place please try this .Not the cheapest breakfast but quality and service was great dog n family friendly.owner is superb and staff friendly

The male staff were responsive and attentive. The fish and chips afternoon tea was rather unique! Gluten free option for excellent.

The fish and chips we ordered were terrible. The fish was obviously freshly cooked, but had not been drained of the oil, it was just placed on top of the chips and was just a greasy mess. The fish itself was tasteless and watery. We did arrive shortly before closing time but none the less we expected better. Needless to say won’t be going back.

I photographed a wedding here, couple from Leicester hired upstairs, fish and chips are amazing, staff very friendly, venue rustic but clean and tidy. Highly recommended 👌

Lovely cafe/restaurant. Nice freshly cooked food. Helpful staff.

My daughter's wedding reception was here. What a wonderful place. Food, staff, ambience all absolutely perfect. We couldn't have chosen better. I highly recommend Hetty and Betty's.

Great dog friendly place, lovely breakfast and good value

What a fabulous Whitby Afternoon Fish and Chip tea, with deliciously battered fish, lovely tasting tartare sauce, chips, mushy or garden peas and bread and butter. Topped off with a jam and cream fruit scone that we brought home as we were replete! A true gem of a place, looking out onto the harbour, enjoying the sunshine and Whitby ambience. The staff were fabulous, courteous and nothing was too much trouble for them.....thank you, you were all a credit to the service industry. Lois, David and team...you have created a unique dining experience for your customers. Thank you so much. JnK x

Fish and chips would have been fine, but the side salad was sad… how can they serve so much wilted leaves? Staff very disinterested.

Being coeliac I chose the egg mayo sandeich which came with salad and coleslaw, and was absolutely delicious, Thsnk you.

Hetty and Betty's, a secret that has now been revealed. Recently awarded for its service and food, especially the Fish and Chips High Tea, must now be eligible for an award for the great view from the back of the restaurant looking over the quayside and river up to the Eastside and Abbey. I would recommend anyone with a desire to eat good food and enjoys good service to visit, Hetty and Betty's.

Fantastic food clean staff helpful and friendly

Just gad chips fish and mushy peas at hetty and Betty,s in whitby absolutely awful the chips were well over done the mushy peas cold and the batter on the fish was not crispy at all the lad thar served us looked like he did not want to be there his people skills were none existing brought our food and just dumped it on the table without even asking which we had ordered and when we complained about the food was told they would inform the chef if they are promoting whitby fish and chips it is god help whitby

Absolutely gorgeous fish & chips. We both really enjoyed our meal. Great value at £13.50 each for a treat on holiday.

We have 3 dogs and the staff were so accommodating for the 3 of them to lay down, staff lovely drinks were great too

Found this little gemstone of a place, fish and chips were amazing and arrived quickly with great service. Definetely recommend 👍

Lovely food, staff were great and very polite

What a smashing hidden gem, found by accident. Nothing was too much. My grandaughter asked if she could have her sausage battered. Of course said the waitress. The adults ordered afternoon tea which included fish, home made chips, tartare sauce, mushy peas, bread and butter, scones, clotted cream and jam, and a pot of tea. Wow, what an amazing feast and all for £36 gor 2. A request was made if it was possible to have an afternoon tea for one. Yes, of course. The fish was the best that I've eaten for years, as were the homemade chips. You don't get served these any more. I cannot recommend this restaurant any more highly. You will not be dissapointed.

A lovely meal which we both enjoyed, the fish and chips with curry sauce was faultless, the only negative is the staff should ask you where you would prefer to sit, we were placed in the darkest area next to the counter, was that to save them having to walk too far I wonder? It was far sunnier and bright out the back and we were the only customers at the time.

Excellent Fish and Chips. Light batter, very fresh fish. Great service from really pleasant staff. Really good and highly recommended.

We have been here a few times and we have never had a bad time, we have even recommended it yo our friends and they love it. Their afternoon tea with fish n chips instead of the sandwiches is great we love it, the food is great the staff are lovely we can't fault it at all.

Fantastic visit excellent friendly staff splendid food recommend the fish n chip afternoon tea it was huge and gorgeous

Absolutely loved the the fish and chips afternoon tea with all the trimmings. They even had a vegetarian option of fried brie instead of fish which my other half thoroughly enjoyed. Decent sized portions. It was cooked perfectly and the scone was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend, what a treat. Place is also dog friendly. Thanks.

Called in here for a coffee very nice staff very friendly the food looked good

Fab quality full English at a great price Definitely going back it was delicious 😋

Absolutely excellent. Dog friendly which was much needed after a very cold walk at Runswick for our older dog who needed a rest. Husbands full English looked beautiful, very good size for the "Large" breakfast. However highly highly recommend their homemade scones. Holy moly, the nicest scone I've had in a loooonng time. Absolute top tier. Not sure if they're always served warm or our timing was impeccable but the warmth of the fresh bake just made it exquisite. Fairly priced too. Staff were all lovely. Will definitely come again when we next come to whitby.

Visited for the first time today looking for somewhere indoors that was dog friendly that was spacious enough for a push chair too. This one couldn’t have ticket the box any better! From the street you could walk past it a little unnoticed but what a gem - from the moment we removed the staff could not have been more helpful. Lovely atmosphere, prompt service, and most importantly fantastic fish and chips! The afternoon tea version is a great novelty. Will be back again!

Excellent venue to celebrate a special family occasion Superb owner and staff and service. 22 of us sat down to a fish and chips buffet, the food was excellent.

A perfect place for a brunch. Loved the food - toasted teacakes and the vegetarian and full English breakfast were delicious. Service was absolutely brilliant. Especially the manager who was extremely attentive and welcoming. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

This place is lovely, enjoyed the food and the staff are great and accommodating !

We got there as it opened, the service was amazing we were seated and then given time to make our choices. The food came out in a very timely manner, we all order something different and it was all delicious. The decor was lovely and the place was very clean. We would go back in a heartbeat!!

Lovely place for fish and chips which were excellent. Service was exceptional and to top it off they are completely dog welcoming!!!

The service was good. The small fish bites and chips were big, I’m glad I went for the kids portion, I bet the adults portion was big! But the kids portion was plenty for me.

Tried this place as the one we were going to advertised dog friendly but wasn't. We had the fish and chips afternoon tea. Two good portions of fish with ample chips mushy peas and tartare sauce. Bread and butter and a gorgeous scone with jam and clotted cream. Fantastic. We had a lot of tea for two,which was replenished free of charge. Don't get down to Whitby very often, but wouldn't go anywhere else. Staff, although busy were very friendly.

Had a fantastic fish and chips afternoon tea.

We called in here Sunday Feb 4th lunch pretty quiet but still it took 15 minutes to have our order taken drinks duly arrived but it took so long for food to arrive we had finished off the tea 25 minutes for cheese on toast really? Food bland sadly would not recommend or return shame really 😞

Arnt we glad we decided to go here,Dylan our dog was allowed in as well Staff were lovely ,food delicious ,great choices My partner was so glad he picked the fish n chips he said it was so tasty and fluffy,partner was gutted they had run out of scones,so he had a slice of cake ,he was impressed Toilets on site as well Definitely recommend here

Great food, brilliant service from all the staff. Started with a friendly welcome, quick and attentive service, great seats overlooking the harbour and good value prices. Ended with our dog being given a new bowl because we’d managed to lose his!!

We have only just started visiting Whitby and we chose here for breakfast, as soon as I walked in I was met at the door by a lovely women and after a nice chat with her I did actually find out she was the manager. I came originally for breakfast, the large breakfast was beautiful and well priced. The coffee me and my other half had was the best coffee I’ve had in a while. We enjoyed our food so much we returned later on for our dinner. The fish and chips were also lovely! The fish cooked perfectly and the chips were amazing. We will be returning to Whitby and 100% be returning here.

We called in for a quick bite to eat to get out of the rain. The young man who greeted us was pleasant. We had a push chair, and he showed us to a table and asked if we would like a highchair. He took our orders , and the drinks arrived about 15 minutes before the food was not good for hot drinks. I, along with my son, ordered soup with a cold sandwich from the menu. When it arrived, the soup was spilt over the dish. It was lukewarm, and had sour taste, the cheese and onion sandwich was a child size , grated cheese, lots of it spilling over the plate. The Latte coffee ordered was poor. All in all, it was not a good experience. We shall not be returning and stick to a cafe we know and like in Whitby .

We visited the cafe for lunch and the food was poor. We ordered fish and chips. On arrival, the chips were burnt, the fish was covered in oil and it was disgusting. The prices were ridiculous. The chef was stood in the cafe area having a social conversations with the staff. This looked so unhygienic considering he was in his kitchen chef whites and hair net. This put me and my partner off. It’s such a shame because the place could potentially be a great little cafe. We would definitely not recommend this place for anyone wanting something to eat.

Birthday treat fish and chips and afternoon tea combined excellent food. An unusual feast that works especially with a full bottle of prosecco!

Only had coffee, wouldn't have it again. It was so bitter it was undrinkable

My partner and I both ordered full English breakfasts and a hot drink. Unfortunately both breakfasts were overcooked, including the bacon, sausage and egg. What made it worse was the fact that we were given a blunt knife to try and cut into it. Staff were very friendly and efficient, but we didn’t want to offend them with the truth. You’ll find plenty of other dog friendly cafes on the other side of the river.

Had breakfast here and it was lovely highly recommend

Only stopped off one wet and cold November afternoon for a coffee and teacake. Such a warm, dog friendly welcome. The staff were friendly, the coffees excellent and the toasted teacakes and jam the best I've tasted in a long time. Its a shame I'd had lunch earlier as their fish and chips looked gorgeous!

Nice, pleasant place, the batter on the fish amongst the best we've had alongside well cooked chips served by pleasant and attentive staff Well worth a visit

Lovely staff and friendly restaurant. Service great and very attentive to my 4 year old . Fish and chips nice.....shame dint do curry sauce. Good choice for children

Food was OK. Dog friendly was a bonus

Hi visited this little gem today, at 11.00am really helpful staff as they were just changing over from breakfast and we wanted lunch, a very wet day made more pleasant, great food, nothing was too much trouble for them, a jewel in Whitby’s crown wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to family & friends x

Popped into Hetty And Betty for a late breakfast during Goth Weekend.. Ordered a small full English breakfast which was absolutely gorgeous cooked to perfection best I've had in a long time... Definitely returning next time in Whitby 🤗

Lovely cafe, with really friendly and attentive service. We enjoyed the Gothic Afternoon Tea (it's Whitby, in October, it has to be done). Really good choice of sandwiches, the cakes were lovely (the lemon drizzle in particular). Oh my Goodness, the scones were the best I've had. All washed down with a bottle of Whitby Whaler beer for me, and a Prince of Darkness Whitby Gin and tonic for my better half. Great atmosphere, great food and lovely staff. Thank you.

Absolutely lovely place to eat. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would definitely return when back in the area. Thank you!

So we stayed in Whitby for a week and decided on our last day we would have an afternoon fish and chips tea. So rewind a few days we enquired if we would have to book In advance and were told that we could just turn up and it will be fine. On the morning of of our last day we went in again and just make sure it would be ok to come in the afternoon without a booking and again were advised it would be fine So we go into the restaurant in the afternoon...and hey presto Were told we can't have an afternoon tea as he restaurant is full We explained that were advised we hadn't had to book in advance The lady who greeted us didn't seem bothered and didn't even try to resolve the situation... A lady at another table said she would be leaving soon and said we could have her table.but we decided to take our business elsewhere I'm all for helping small businesses but sometimes they don't help themselves S spoons around the the corner got our business instead

Really lovely place, so glad we discovered it while visiting Whitby! The menu had loads of great choices, plus a children's menu which is ideal for us with little ones! The deep fried brie was really tasty and my husband really enjoyed his fish and chips too. Service was great as well. Would definitely return and would recommend to anyone!

Absolutely delicious fresh fish and chips. Lovely restaurant just off the Main Street in Whitby. Staff were incredibly thoughtful in finding us a quiet corner to sit with our older dog. Servings were generous and the coffee and tea was very good.

Popped in for lunch today and it was nice and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the town. Would highly recommend the red velvet cake, sausage sandwiches and the gluten free ham and cheese sandwich.

Beautiful food, well presented and at a very affordable price. Excellent service from warm and welcoming staff and the place was spotless

What an amazing place , the fish & chips were excellent and so tasty. The staff were great very helpful and friendly. Definitely top of my list.

A very pleasant environment where we were greeted warmly. The Victoria Sponge was delicious and the coffee was excellent. The only issue was that my husband ordered peppermint tea and was served ordinary tea. However this was soon rectified.

We had great fish and chips here and the staff were helpful and friendly

Fabulous food and staff. Very dog friendly. Thank you for a great lunch in a a beautiful restaurant

Popped in for coffee and a cake. Made us welcome as well as my large dog. He got a water bowl straight away. Really helpful service and felt made welcome. Very reasonable price too

Lovely meal in a pleasant atmosphere. Very good value for money, especially the onion rings. Staff very friendly and efficient.

We stopped in for lunch and were warmly greeted by Lois, who owns the place and tirelessly works to make sure everyone is happy with their meals and drinks. The fish sandwich -- a smaller but still generous portion than the enormous serving you'll receive if you order fish and chips -- and the cheese toast were delicious, and the chips were excellent. The restaurant also has beers from the local Whitby Brewery. Note that there's a table in the back of the place that's at a window. On a sunny day like when we visited, the view of the river and harbor is stunning.
