Hetty and Betty in Scarborough

¡Gran hallazgo! Vine aquí como estaba buscando un lugar para comer (llegó temprano'ish para evitar colas como algunos lugares tenían) y pensó que era una "joya escondida". Teníamos el pequeño fish & chips - que era suficiente para nosotros, y era tan "derretirse en su boca"! , no hay piel en el pescado & , patatas fritas gruesas para arrancar! Con 2 cafés factura llegó a £ 26. 40 . Todos. los grandes lugares conocidos tenían largas colas, (café Urraca/zanjadoras) pero entramos directamente y conseguimos una mesa. Sin duda volvería/recomiendo si en Whitby.

Living in Whitby very few places do Cream teas with plain scones .. like Hetty Bettys do !! My friend had a fruit one loved it !

Big piece of fish chips ok pity the plate wasn't heated up to make the food stay hot longer

Tuvimos una comida encantadora hoy mezcló nuestras comidas y compartió un lugar encantador personal muy limpio y amable feliz en el trabajo buena taza de té después de nuestra comida también admite perros, que es perfecto si trae a su mascota de vacaciones

I had the pleasure of enjoying my lunch at Hetty and Bettys on Thursday. We were a large’ish group arriving 15 minutes early - with an extra person than expected, but we were all warmly welcomed and served quickly. The flakiest of fish in lovely, crispy batter, and the best chips I’ve had in a long time. Thank you.

What a great place - the service was quick and unobtrusive and the food was fabulous. Probably the best fish & chips I've ever had! My only disappointment was no Dandelion & Burdock :-)

Muy acogedor. Queríamos cambiar de mesa para salir del sol - no es un problema. La comida era buena y abundante. Queríamos té muy débil y la bolsa de té se dejó en el platillo para que hiciéramos nuestro té a medida. Muy servicial y buen precio

Acabo de tomar el té de la tarde de fish & chips. Las patatas fritas me llevaron 50 años atrás, ya que son como mi madre solía hacerlas ❤. El pescado vino en una buena masa crujiente y perfectamente cocinado en el interior. El bollo con crema y mermelada redondeó la comida maravillosamente. El personal era muy amable y una gran vista del puerto desde nuestra mesa

I was given a voucher for the fish and chips afternoon tea as a birthday present, and we really enjoyed it! The fish was perfectly cooked and the chips were properly traditional, just like my nannan used to make. The choice of drinks was great - my green tea was really tasty. And the scones were wonderfully fresh and fluffy, a perfect end to the meal. We received a very warm welcome, and the staff were all friendly and helpful. I'd highly recommend Hetty and Betty. We had a lovely time and will be going back!

Just had the fish & chips afternoon tea. Chips took me back 50 years as they're just like my mum used to make them ❤. Fish came in a nice crispy batter and perfectly cooked inside. The scone with cream and jam rounded off the meal beautifully.

Me dieron un vale para el té de la tarde de pescado con papas fritas como regalo de cumpleaños, y realmente lo disfrutamos! El pescado estaba perfectamente cocinado y las patatas fritas eran adecuadamente tradicionales, al igual que mi niñera solía hacer. La elección de bebidas fue genial - mi té verde era muy sabroso. Y los bollos estaban maravillosamente frescos y esponjosos, un final perfecto para la comida. Recibimos una cálida bienvenida, y el personal era muy amable y servicial. Recomendaría Hetty y Betty. Tuvimos un tiempo encantador y volveremos!

Whitby was exceptionally busy the day we visited and we found this place by chance and they could fit a family of 4 in which we were grateful for. Our server was just full of charm and happiness and it made such a change and you could not help but smile when she was at the table. The food though for me was a little below par. The fish and chips with mushy peas came to £16.50 and whilst the batter on the top looked crisp underneath it was sadly a really soggy mess floating in grease. Because of that I had to leave the batter. The chips I think were triple cooked but again something wasn’t quite right with them but as I hadn’t eaten all day I ate them to stave off hunger. My niece had the cheese and ham toaster which in my opinion looked a little sad but guess can’t glamorise that very well. Overall great service but could do better on the food front.

Very polite helpful staff clean loo nice food giant piece of fish shame the plates were not heated up to keep the food hotter longer would def go again only slight thing is the chair cushions are slightly worn so you sit slightly low to the table but maybe that is because I am not that tall

I’m really not sure what the others reviews are about? Maybe they got the wrong place? We called in today 21st March around 2.30pm looking for some food and we were not disappointed!!!! We went for the fish and chip afternoon tea…. It was amazing Huge portions we had to take the scones home. Staff are very friendly. If your in Whitby you have to try Hetty & Betty you won’t be disappointed.

Unfortunately, not for us. Only have full fat milk for lattes, no skimmed milk. Toasted cheese sandwiches very greasy & cheap sliced bread. Chips, too greasy, couldn’t even attempt to eat.

We discovered Hetty & Bettys as a result of the Whitby restaurant week and sampled their fish n chips afternoon tea with Prosecco! Tbh we were expecting a small portion of fish and a few chips but were amazed at the size of the fish (a whale) but the best bit was the proper hand cut chips, none of your frozen prepackaged chips here. The afternoon tea was served on a as traditional three tier platter, with two huge fish and chips on the bottom plate, mushy peas and bread and butter on the middle plate and home made scones with jam and clotted cream on the top plate. All served with a pot of tea (as well as the prosecco) The staff were excellent and the owner made a point of engaging with all the customers. We will definitely call again next time we’re in Whitby.

Reserved a table. The restaurant is clean and well laid out. The host was welcoming and friendly. The food, afternoon tea fish and chips is totally amazing, well cooked, well presented, fantastic quality. We had a great time. Would definitely revisit and recommend.

Walked in today and although there was many empty and clean tables the member of staff employed to seat and assist people with their orders quite obviously looked down her nose at our party and informed us that there was no space when the opposite was very clearly the case. Just because we were dressed for comfort and not for style does not mean we cannot afford to pay.In cash we had over £2000 and one of us has over £50,000 in the bank. Absolute discrimination and rudeness by the horrible member of staff whom clearly needs a lesson in full customer service. If you want friendly and accommodating staff do not go to this establishment

Lovely fish and chip afternoon tea today. Well presented hot and tasty food and the scones, top notch! Thank you 🙏

We went for a light bite for lunch, well with the portions serviced, we did not need an evening meal. We had cheese on toast and a fish finger sandwich. Both servings were large, the fish finger was more a small portion of fish in a ciabatta, chips and salad, the cheese on toast has several types of cheese making it very tasty, salad and coleslaw. I could not finish the fish sandwich. Serviced with good ole Yorkshire tea, the best. And if you wish you can order off the dog menu to feed your furry friend while you eat, or share yours.

Lovely dog friendly cafe. Went in for breakfast which would have been good had it been hot when served. Had obviously been served up on cold plates, tea arrived luke warm. Overall not a good experience 😕 won't be going again.

We had a pensioners tea it was brilliant Fish was one of the best I have ever had .we also got a cream tea it was so lovely.

Lovely light lunch. Food was good quality and proportional. Enjoyed the fish sandwich which was full of flavour and lightly cooked. Would recommend 👌

We were greeted with a Friendly warm welcome by lady, seated had lovely breakfast service excellent Overall great service, food, coffee all you need thank you

Arrive and shown to our table great, placed our order great. We order an apple juice and cappuccino, full English and poached egg on toast. The apple juice was awful and must have been the cheapest of cheap at the wholesales. Everything on the breakfast was cold apart from the beans, the plates were stone cold, which made the food go cold quicker. The toast that accompanied the breakfast was freezing, I don’t even think the bacon had seen the pan! Overall the whole place was cold, do not go here!!

We booked an afternoon tea with family. We assumed we would be seated upstairs ( as pictured on the website and Facebook). We wasn’t! We walked in to a pushchair from the next table up against our table! They should have been told that the table was reserved. That table was extremely noisy with kids and a barking dog! A gentleman actually walked around from a table he was seated at to see where the chaos was coming from! So you can imagine what it was like for us! On a positive note cakes and scones were beautiful . Sandwiches ok , could do with something with them ie crisps, salad ( there were just rocket leaves under mine). We asked the two young lads who were serving about moving tables and they said upstairs was closed! If people book a nice afternoon tea more thought needs to be made about seating! It was chaotic where we were seated and not a nice experience.

Terrible. Queued to get in. Told last orders 1pm due to staff shortages. At 1255 told yes we could have a table but only tea or coffee available as kitchen closed.

A Huge Thank You to all at Hetty and Betty especially Lois for making our wedding day perfect! The venue is outstanding and was beautifully decorated to our choice, it was a Goth wedding so all black and purple. The food was fantastic and plentyof it. Lois was a wonderful host and everything went to plan!! We could not have asked for more. Highly Recommended!!

Pedido pescado con patatas fritas para 2 y un bollo de fruta con té. 1 porción de pescado con papas fritas llegó al puesto de pasteles con el bollo el pescado era acuoso y mush obviamente se descongeló y no seco se negó a pagar por el pescado, pero pagó por las papas fritas y el bollo y los tés. No volvería a lamentarlo.

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

El mejor desayuno en Whitby! Enormes desayunos por menos de diez! El tocino, huevos, judías, salchicha, hachís y champiñones todo cocinado a la perfección y 2 de todo! Felicitaciones al chef! Personal fantástico y un entorno encantador. Limpio y amable! Sin duda volveremos en nuestros viajes regulares a Whitby. ¡Ganadores de premios también! Xx

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

Precioso desayuno inglés cocinado en un entorno agradable , servicio rápido y amable y a un precio razonable, los perros bienvenidos que es una ventaja para nosotros .

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.

Este es un encantador café que acepta perros que nos encanta visitar cada vez que venimos a Whitby. Los dos muchachos que trabajaban allí eran muy educados y eficientes. Sin duda recomendaría!

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

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.

Afternoon fish and chips beautiful. Having scones later

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.

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

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 👌

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.

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.

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!

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!

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!!

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

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

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.
