After our first visit to Magpie Café 2 years ago, we were keen to return and were not disappointed. The North Sea octopus starter was to die for, and of course the main event was the sharing platter of fish and chips! Brilliant.

Well worth the queue! Best scampi and fish and chips we’ve had! The oysters were very fresh and delicious (this is coming from someone who typically isn’t the biggest fan of oysters, but these were great). If you’re in in Whitby for the day, this is a must try.

Had lunch today. I had the langustein, I had hoped they arrive ready to eat, so was a little disappointed when they didn't. I asked for them to be prepared, only to be informed by the kitchen staff that they were too busy! Rude to say the least! I also ordered the garlic mushrooms and again not great. My husband ordered the fish and chips, and was even disappointed with that. We've been before and had a great meal, hence us returning. Sadly, this visit was a totally different experience

I didn’t get a chance to try their fish & chips, as I got distracted by the crab but cannot complain as it was so delicious! I swapped the chips for a salad and it was so hearty and flavourful. The Yorkshire IPA beer was okay. Definitely coming back this Summer to try the fish and chips, the mussels and the fish pie! The service was fantastic! Please make a booking before you go.

Not been for a few years and always massively enjoyed the Magpie. So looking forward to the haddock and chips and the wife spotted the crab bisque, one of our favourites so we decided to have it. First thought was it was a smallish portion but in the end glad it was! So thick, really sweet and not good at all, especially with a large amount of watercress on the top - why? Fortunately after waiting a bit longer than we liked the main event arrived and our faith was restored! A delightful piece of thick well battered haddock and superb chips. Mind you at over £20 for f and c and mushy peas it needed to be, even though the fish was regular as opposed to small! Unlike so many other chippies bread and butter another extra. Staff were friendly and polite but service was pretty slow. In fairness it was busy as usual. Enjoyed it overall but not sure it will be on our agenda on the next visit to Whitby. Was going to give 3 stars but just about 4 on the fish and previous visits.

We booked for 7.30. A member of staff noticed us looking quizzically at the steps, came out, addressed us by name, explained we were on the top floor and would be better taking the lift. Another member of staff escorted us to the lift which is located in the takeaway next door. We felt like royalty. It’s over twenty years since our last visit stairs weren’t an issue then. My husband was ninety last year. We wanted to bring our two teenage grandsons to Whitby. We have taken them to some very classy restaurants but they said that the food and service at the Magpie was up with the best. We had one small cod, two regular cod and a regular haddock with bread and butter, tea for me (fabulous loose leaf, tea pot with hot water, lager for my husband soft drinks for the boys. £71. Really good value.

Have eaten here before, both takeaway and in the restaurant. This time sat upstairs with a view of the Abbey. The staff were friendly and hardworking. The starters of mussels and crab pate were wonderful. The regular fish and chips were just about manageable. In future would only attempt a large portion if not having a starter. The chips crisp and fluffy, the haddock snowy white with light crisp batter. Superb. Nice touch the sweets with magpie cafe on them.

The Magpie Café serves the best Fish and Chips in Whitby in my opinion. I recommend booking in advance if you don't want to wait and queue outside. The food is always served quickly. Our table had an amazing sea view! Accessibility will likely be an issue due to the stairs to enter the establishment. The food is great and I particularly enjoyed the grilled goats cheese. The Creme Brulee was more like Creme Cremated as someone was a little heavy on the torch but that didn't ruin the evening.

Was a lovely meal although did wait for the food for quite a while but one of the staff, youngish chap with a beard was very rude. Not to us but to people coming in. Very aggressively telling them to wait outside and not come in. That's fine but maybe put the sign so you can see it on the outside rather than it being on the inside so you online see it if you walk in and look behind you! Also Husband had the vegan shepherd's pie which he's had before, said it tasted a bit spicy this time which he didn't really like

Also, they noticed I am not great on my legs and took me to the disabled toilet and let me use it despite me being quite young. First time me and my partner have been and won't be the last.

Excellent English fish restaurant. The mussels were excellent, firm and very tasty, despite the garlic and onion seasoning, their flavor clearly dominated: rarely, even in Italy, have I eaten such good mussels. The fish & chips are also excellent: fresh fish, well marinated, soft and tasty inside, nice crunchy outside. Worth mentioning is the small selection of local craft beers. I regretted not trying the oysters!

Very disappointed and the Magpie seems to go on its past reputation of being a good fish and chip restaurant. Ordered a regular haddock and chips which had to be sent back , the haddock was very watery and the most probable reason was that the fish was frozen and the batter very thin and soggy. They did change the meal and we were served another haddock and chips and although better was definitely not up to a standard of award winning restaurant. My suggestion would be to try somewhere else when in Whitby.

It's difficult to know where to start. It is clearly a popular venue, we went on a Monday night and it wasn't t all busy. The difficult knowing where to start is due to so so much of what we experienced was beyond expectations. I don't make notes of what I had or what was on offer, but it was an incredibly imaginative menu. I consider myself a foodie, but have never had Monkfish. Nothing scored less that whatever out of whatever, pick the highest score and that's it. The wine (I'm no expert) was fabulous and I think we had two bottles. It is so easy to say 'I have never had food which tasted as good as theirs did' but I will. I wish this place was near where I live, I'd buy a section of the place just for me to enjoy their food. Don't believe the hype, go see for yourself. They don't have a 'disappointment' gene there. It is as good as I wrote.

I was excited to try this place for our first time after reading all the reviews. Waited for service to start at magpie takeaway whitby this morning at 11.30. I ordered two cod wrapped separately. was told it would take 10 mins. Was very disappointed at size of each fish the length normal, but the width very narrow two adult fingers wide was all, l am sure they had cut one fillet length ways. But paid £ 8.50 for each and left the establishment. Batter very thin turned out an uninteresting light meal. never to return.

Every time I go to Whitby, I come here for the best fish and chips! On this occasion I visited with my partner and our four children ageing from five years to 17 years. We managed to get a suitable table on the first floor for all of us And there was a large availability across the menu to suit us all. I went for the standard haddock, chips and mushy peas with a dandelion and burdock for which I don’t think you can go far wrong! Excellent, hot and tasty food all round and everybody enjoyed their meals. It isn’t the cheapest place to eat in Whitby, however I believe it offers the best fish and chip experience.

Always make a point of getting fish and chips from Magpie's (takeaway) when we are visiting Whitby. Not been for a couple of years but the quality as gone down hill, the oil used to cook the food either was old (unchanged) or a new/cheaper type but it was rank, plenty of other restaurants/takeways to try now that smell more appetizing when passing by - should have guessed really because we always had to queue but the shop was practically empty......

The attitude of this waitress was very bad, at first the cutlery was just uncleaned spoons and plates, I asked this waitress to change it, she was very angry and told me to please change it, it was obvious that this was a hygiene issue of the restaurant cutlery, and later when we found a plastic foreign object in our food, she had a very bad attitude too, and she kept on trying to find ways to excuses and avoid saying that it wasn't the restaurant's problem. All in all it was a very bad experience coming to this restaurant and I even suspect that this waitress was racist!

We had eaten here before and enjoyed it, so we booked for our anniversary meal. We thought we’d treat ourselves and have caviar first (£25). We were informed that it would probably come with the starters because, quote, “the chef has a prejudice against pre-starters.” (!!) Oh, so we will rush the caviar to ensure our starters don’t go cold, shall we? I pointed out that as paying guests, we wanted them separate… My crab Bon Bon starter was a bit dry, although my wife’s razor clams were “delicious”, to be fair. My sea bass was ok, but I felt the mackerel pate was way too big for the amount of fish served. I did not enjoy the pickled cucumber, but that’s just personal taste. My wife’s lemon sole was “nice”, but we both agreed the food was far below the standard we had enjoyed here previously. We did not fancy either of the TWO desserts on offer, so we finished and left the restaurant. I’m afraid we won’t be back. The waiting staff were nice, but we’ll go somewhere that doesn’t seem scared of their chef in future.

Everything a UK fish and chip shop should be. Everything they serve is made with beef dripping, just as it should be, resulting in the quintessential fish and chips experience that has been missing from our nation since most began to use the far inferior vegetable oil to appease vegetarians/odd people. As someone who makes and uses beef dripping for all meals I make at home in Manchester, it can be difficult to find places to eat that carry the same ethos of making food in a natural, good and honest way. Beef tallow is rich in bioavailable fats, vitamin A and even vitamin K, which is good for eyes and skin. Anyway, I came here last year in the summer on recommendation from a fellow festival goer, and the staff here were kind enough to hang on from closing whilst I beckoned my friends who had just arrived to Scarborough on the promise that this was no normal chippy. The quality of their fish, the mastery of balance in flavour of their chips cooked in the dripping, I can honestly say this is the best fish and chip shop I’ve experienced since Nancy’s on Macc Road closed in the 90’s. As I’m attending the festival again this year, I’m secretly more excited to eat here again than I am to see any of the bands. Bravo, Ramshill Fisheries.

By far the best fish and chips in the UK. Run by locals for locals
