Hetty and Betty in Scarborough

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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

We had poached eggs on toast, there dog friendly

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.

"HIGHLY RECOMMEND",Excellence at its best,we have been to many cafe's from East to North Yorkshire and this one is far ahead of others visited for breakfasts, "WELL DONE ," EXCELLENCE ALL ROUND,BEAUTIFUL BREAKFASTS. VERY FRIENDLY,SPOTLESS, HIGHLY RECOMMEND. ONLY SHAME CANNOT GIVE MORE THAN 5 ✨. WORTH 💯%. WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING ON REGULAR BASIS. "BEST IN WHITBY BY FAR".

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.

Fish was lovely, service great.

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.

Beautiful food, we had the fish & chip afternoon tea with prosecco.

Whilst on a short break near Whitby we walked into the town on a sunny hot day. Whilst walking round the centre we happened accross this , what looked like a small tea room, with a dog friendly sign in the window. This'll do we said and were pleasantly surprised to be met by a lovelly waitress who showed us to a table towards the rear which was lovely bright and cool, indicating a table which she said would be handy for the dogs to lie down. I ordered the fish and chips and my wife ordered loaded chips. The fish was huge. Fresh and beautifully cooked and the chips were real chips not out the freezer as is so often the case. Easily the best fish and chips I've had for a long long time. The staff were attentive, helpfull and pleasant. The whole experience a very positive one. Thank you. We will definitely return.

Beautiful fish and chips and fantastic service. The lady who owns the restaurant is so lovely and advised us on the best sightseeing to do in Whitby. 5 stars

Always great food ! great vibe and just love the decor , great staff love it here xx dog friendly too … will alway return when I’m in Whitby xxx

Visited for lunch on 18th as a party of five. Saw fish and chips being served to other diners but were told there was no fish left due to late delivery. Some ordered scampi instead, but it was soggy and unappealing. One ordered sausage and said it was disappointing and bland. One ordered a ham salad which was a pile of leaves in a bowl with sliced ham in strips on top. We were asked if everything was alright but the server didn’t bother to wait for a reply. Also the toilet opened into the centre of the restaurant which surprised us. We won’t be going there again.

Fantastic experience, super clean, dog friendly, great prices and best of all the fish and chips were amazing. So fresh and tasty.

Beautiful little cafe. Food was delicious. Lovely friendly staff. Didn't have to wait long for food, even though they were busy. Good prices and even though we didn't have a dog it was very dog friendly.

Originally went for tea and scones but stayed for s late lunch instead after viewing the exquisite menu. Had the most delicious breaded scampi and mussels ever and a heavenly vanilla milk shake. Ended up taking scone, butter and jam home with me. Yummy! Nice...

Pleasant surroundings, really nice and clean and the waiter was exceptional under the circumstances. It’s not cheap, especially when the food isn’t eaten as we had to go elsewhere for something for lunch. The chips were really awful quite hard and cold and the fish,...

A gem of a place tucked just off the main very very busy front. Upstairs was closed so cafe was on this occasion busier as obviously less tables. Very Dog friendly . great choice in the menu Attentive friendly staff. The food was excellent and...

Just lovely as always louis makes fuss even though was last year was last in food just wow ,kids portion well worth it fresh fish scrumptious, dog love hettys too ..

The best fish shop iv been to in whitby. Fish batter light and flavourful and homemade chips. Portion size very generous and staff very helpful.

The outside of this place is nice but deceiving. We were on a coach day trip from our hotel in Scarborough where we were staying. The coach driver told all his passengers to try Whitby fish & chips. We don't eat fish so we ordered...

My wife and I visited Hetty and Betty on the 20th of July. We both had the fish and chips with mushy peas and a pot of tea. The food was excellent lightly battered cod and homemade chips.It was very very tasty and excellent value.....

Tasted like the frying oil was weeks old. The bread was dry. The chips were a nasty dark brown colour. Not a good experience.

Had a lovely lunch with a friend. Decided to have the fish and chips afternoon tea. An excellent choice. Very tasty and very filling. The scones with jam and cream finished it off superbly. Always very friendly staff, very attentive and polite. Nothing was too...

We called in today and made welcome with our dog we were given a table. After we placed the order of Cod and chips the drinks soon arrived on the table. Then we were left waiting for 40 minutes with no one explain the delay....

We booked this as a wedding anniversary afternoon tea after seeing pictures and reviews. I have said average as it wasn’t quite as good as we expected. The fish was slightly undercooked and watery inside but crispy on the outer, there was very few chips...

Choosing somewhere to eat fish and chips in Whitby is a minefield, every other business sells the traditional English fare. Hetty & Betty’s is a bit different, they combine it with afternoon tea. Everything is fresh and home made. The chips were delicious and the...

Great find in Whitby, lovely dog friendly cafe. The fish and chips were amongst the best I've ever eaten, certainly better value and quality than the over rated takeaways on the Quayside.

When you have warm welcoming staff, good food and brilliant service you feel inclined to give a positive review. We had this on SIX consecutive days during our holiday and our only disappointment was when we found out Hetty and Betty is closed on Fridays....

Called in Hetty and Betty’s today for a coffee. Got a table overlooking the harbour which was good. Very friendly service. Coffee and teacakes spot on. Next time we are in Whitby this is where we will head to.

Just finished breakfast here and it was perfect, lovely staff and location, excellent value for money. It is dog friendly and we have eaten here many times previously and always very good

We enjoyed a lovely cream scone and hot drink here whilst escaping the weather. The scones were lovely and it was a great place to people watch

During our visit to Whitby, we stopped by Hetty and Betty Café, which is conveniently located right in the centre of town. It's one of the few dog-friendly cafes in the area, which is a big plus for pet owners like us. We just popped...

We booked a Hetty and Betty Fish and Chip Afternoon Tea as a special treat during our holiday in Whitby. The staff were super attentive and friendly and as we were a big party, we even got our own private room in which to dine....

Great service and excellent food many thanks nothing was too much trouble and had the best b and t sandwich ever and Yorkshire tea spot on

Came in for lunch like we have done many times before but left disappointed. The menu choice has massively depleted since last year. We didn’t fancy fish and chips so the only other thing was sandwiches….. The tuna mayo was dry….. the side order of...

I decided to have the battered brie as an alternative to fish. Whilst it was very nice to start with, there must have been going on half a kilo of brie on my plate so I couldn't eat it all as it ended up being...

A fish and chip afternoon tea is a genius idea. The surroundings are lovely, the staff are helpful and friendly and the food was really delicious. A lovely experience all round.

Our usual preferred Whitby restaurant was closed so we looked for an alternative and decided to give Hetty and Betty a try. So pleased that we did. The place is stylish but not overwhelming so anyone over 25 feels out of place. The tables are...

Our new cafe of choice when visiting Whitby - which we do often! Our usual dog friendly cafes were either closed or full this morning on the cobbled side, so we decided to have a look over the bridge and were delighted to find Hetty...

Lovely little cafe off the main stretch of street. Atmosphere was warm and inviting and the staff were attentive and helpful. Service was good and food came out in good time. Fish and scampi were both delicious.

My daughter and I went for afternoon tea today. As usual it was absolutely delicious, the lemon cake was just the best ever. Although we live in Whitby it’s one of our go to places for lunch. My granddaughters christening party was held in the...

This is a lovely cafe/restaurant which we hadn't visited before. Two lovely ladies were running it, and the service was very friendly and quick. We all had breakfast, and it was very nice too, if perhaps a little on the small side, portion wise. Will...

We had a lovely fish and chip lunch here. Good quality fish which was well cooked in a light crisp batter. Chips were sooooo good. Very nice service and pleasant atmosphere. Very good value for money.

Excellent cafe which we went in by chance and what a delightful find. A busy day in Whitby this Sunday 15th and this was a much better choice than queueing up in the cold for overpriced chips. We had a very warm welcome by the...

I went for the large English breakfast which was all cooked perfectly, tasted really nice, at a really decent price. The portions were just right. I’ll definitely be going back for breakfast again.

Amazing place full of history, the food in my eyes was 10/10 the drinks was priced reasonable for a wedding and the service was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble. Next time I’m in Whitby I’ll be visiting the cafe which is down stairs as...

Stopped here for breakfast. What a great place with lovely inexpensive food and friendly staff. We had a bacon buttie and a sausage and egg buttie. Washed down with orange juice and tea it was delicious. Loved the wallpaper and decor too!

Absolutely fantastic, we had our wedding reception here in the ballroom, Lois, Sarah, Dave and the team worked absolute miracles to make our day so special, the food was outstanding with our afternoon teas and cakes, the evening buffet was amazing, they all worked ever...

Breakfast brunch inc coffee great value, only downside the sausages were vegan so no taste, the bacon babs soon got cold

Was showed to table we had previously booked and then the wait began, after 15 minutes we asked and was told he would take the order in a moment, another 10 minutes we managed to get another person to take our order. The cream tea...

Well I have to say this place is amazing, the food was fantastic and the staff were wonderful. You all should be very proud and we can't wait to return

Booked this in online so not really sure what we were getting but it was perfect for our annual reunion. Booked afternoon tea for 8 . We had classic afternoon tea, fish and chips afternoon tea and vegetarian afternoon tea. All delicious and the service...

We enjoyed our fish and chip lunch , the fish was delicious. The rooms are attractively decorated. The staff were pleasant and efficient. We did not have to wait long to be served but we weren't rushed.

We are a group of 4 adults and we’re looking for somewhere for breakfast. We came across Hetty and Betty and went inside. We were shown to a table and given menus. The price and choice are both spot on. We all decided to get...

Place open and busy despite supposedly being closed. Difficult to get a table at lunchtime but I managed splendidly. They serve a variety of lunch and tea dishes. An afternoon tea variety of Fish and Chips rather than sandwiches plus scones, clotted cream and jam....

Four of us dined and had fish and chips, spicy corn fritters, cheese salad and deep fried Brie. All were very good and reasonably priced as well, fish and chips was very much cheaper than the prices in the fish restaurants and it is quality...

Ordered breakfast. It was lovely looked and tasted amazing. Lovely friendly service, immaculate and clean inside We were even allowed to take our dogs inside.

The takeaway afternoon tea was great quality and fresh with a great range of sandwiches, a lovely scone with all the trimmings and some generous full slices of cake! Just add tea and you’ve yourself a wonderful treat. It was also really easy to order...
