Popped in for a drink on Monday evening. It wasn't overly busy. We sat in the bar area and asked if we could order the bread and alioli off the bar snacks menu. The bar staff informed us that the kitchen was "too busy" and were not doing snacks. If this is the case, the little boards advertising the snacks should be removed off the tables. Also, I'm mystified as to why this needed to be a kitchen job, surely a member of FOH could've chopped some bread? We would've left if we didn't have drinks. This is the 2nd time I've been here, but I won't return. There are numerous better, more accommodating pubs in Whitby.

Beautiful historical period pub person serving in bar and acting as host for bookings very miserable and unwelcoming not suitable for hospitality industry, welcome and first impressions count for a lot and staff desperately need retraining so sad for what is a wonderful atmospheric bar and restaurant . Roast Silverside of beef was served with overcooked vegetables that had obviously been kept warm for a long period of time , wine glasses stained with water marks . Server in dining room was bright positive and polite but seemed nervous serving at the table not a good vibe and a very poor experience over all real shame . Can only think with the relentless number of guests over a busy summer period staff are tired .

Very helpful and friendly staff. The venue is a charming old pub which is very deceptive and easy to miss from the outside. Food was good, with very tasty seafood and a good selection of wine. Only downside was slightly long wait, but the food was definitely worth it.

Went for a family meal after looking at the reviews and had high hopes, all of which were met. The servers were all wonderful, especially our main waitress, Leah, who was exceptional. She was very friendly and helpful, and put us all at ease (and honestly deserves the world). She gained high praises from all of us. The food was also phenomenal. Had a great sharing portion of camembert as a starter with plenty of bread, which is a rare treat, and parents had mackerel and scallops, which they had high praises for. The lamb main was lovely and super tender, and the couscous salad on the side of it was really nice. The desserts were also really good, and were also good portion sizes. I really hope i have the chance to eat here again :)

We chose the White Horse and Griffin for a meal for after our wedding ceremony at Whitby Registry Office for 30 friends and family and everything was perfect. The food was amazing and one of the best meals we have had, the ambiance and the staff and service was next to none. We would defiantly recommend and return. You made our special day even more special and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it too. Thank you so much!

Possibly the best lamb ive tasted cooked to perfection. We were a group of 8 ladies who pre-ordered. Presentation of food was good on the eye. Enjoyed by all. The desert portions were huge but tastey. A shout out to Paul our waiter who was an absolute gentleman and gave us superb service. Only downside is it was very hot.in the restaurant.

Stayed last weekend in 1 of there cottages rustic but comfortable and clean had a problem with the electrics last morning and had to ditch our breakfast fare play to them they gave us a free breakfast in there restaurant. We did eat in the restaurant the night before and was very disappointed took 1 and a half hours to get our main course from having the starters and I think they had cooked some of the mains and kept them warm until the rest was ready sorry butt the steak was tasteless and onion rings were dry as old boots expected better than this as it came from a recommendation from a friend of mine a well known chef .

Went here for Sunday roast lunch with my bf. Upon arrival at 12.30pm we were greeted by very rude staff, where she told us right away they need the table back at 2pm. I was a bit shocked but I guess it was a Sunday and I agreed to it. Waited for 30 minutes for our food to arrive,so it meant that we needed to finish the sunday roast and a bottle of wine within 1 hour. And when the food arrived, it was horrible. The beef was mushy and grey, Yorkshire pudding was burnt, the side vege was tastless and overcooked. Not only did we have to deal with this awful food, but we faced the challenge of finishing this within an hour. Honestly it was really stressful, I had to keep checking my watch while hurrying to finish our meal and drinks. When we just finished our meal, the waitress came and gave us our bill which we did not ask for. And then 10 minutes later another waitress came and warned us about the timing..and then awhile later the waitress came again to inform us that the guests for 2pm had already arrived and asked us to finish our drinks. Mind you it was only 10 minutes to 2pm and we were about to finish our drinks. I am really upset and dissappointed with the service here. It feels like we are not treated fairly and respected. We spent £60+ here, which is a lot of money for Whitby. Also there are other tables who arrived before us and were still eating and no one hurried them to leave. I can't help but feel they were being racist because I am Asian. And they do not value our business here. I feel extremely humilated to be treated this way. Avoid this place, it is not worth your money. There are many more other places that have friendly staff and do a better roast than coming here and wasting your money.

My partner and I regularly enjoy going out for Sunday lunch, but yesterday at the White Horse and Griffin we experienced the worst Sunday lunch we've ever had. We ordered a bottle of red wine and two beef roasts. We had to wait almost 40 minutes for our roasts - which was frustrating as we had been asked to give the table back at 2pm. Once we did finally receive our meals, the food was clearly well below an acceptable standard. The texture of the beef was mushy and horrible - by far the worst beef I have ever tasted. The Yorkshire puddings were burnt, and the vegetables were bland and tasteless. To add insult to injury, they have the cheek to charge £18 for this disgusting meal. In Yorkshire this should be considered a criminal offence - it really was that bad. I feel like we have been ripped off. At 1:40pm we still had half a bottle of wine to drink - but the waitress (who was apologetic) asked me to pay the bill now, as the guests who booked our table for 2pm had just arrived. While I was shocked, (as I hadn't finished my wine) I paid the bill there and then. However, I was still going to sit here and finish my wine, as I booked the table until 2pm. At 1:50pm the manager came to our table, and demanded that we leave the table because the guests who booked the table for 2pm were already here. I have never experienced such unbelievably rude service (especially in Yorkshire), and this left us with a really nasty experience. I still hadn't finished my wine, so I slowly drank my drink, and left the table at precisely 2pm. I'm not putting up with such rude nonsense - and I encourage anyone that experiences similar levels of rude service to stand your ground. Such rude service should not be tolerated. Overall this was a terrible experience, and definitely the worst Sunday lunch we've ever had. I recommend others to stay well away from this place, and go somewhere else in Whitby for Sunday lunch - where at least you can be guaranteed a more friendly service.

Visited 10 years ago for our 35th wedding anniversary. Oh how things have changed. The room was 'tired'. We had a txt to say be careful with hot water as they were having problems. So we didn't use any hot water on the evening. Next morning no, none, nada hot water. Shower was freezing. When I mentioned this to the duty manger, she snapped back I texted you and told you about the problems. I'm sorry but problems is not, no hot water, it's less hot water. The least you expect is one reasonable shower. If you haven't enough hot water, you should take less guests. No recompense was offered. Her manner was hostile. The breakfast itself was ok, but we were offered no cereal, no fruit, yogurts. Just here's the menu. The first cup of coffee was cold. The second couldnt be called coffee, as it was just hot water. We kept having to ask for things that should have been supplied, like enough milk a refill, sugar. Then when she cleared our plates, she asked us to wipe our knives. Ffs, no shower, clean your own cutlery. This was a present from us to our friends. I was embarrassed, as I was bigging it up. Really expensive as well. Will never stay there again. So disappointed.

The menu looked amazing sadly the food didn’t live up to expectations especially the prices for the quality of food. Although this evening when we visited for food the bar man was more welcoming than when we stopped for a drink yesterday when it was really cold and never saw the bar man after we got our drinks. The kitchen staff walked through the restaurant but never asked if we were ok etc. given the prices they’re charging and the poor food quality we would expect more. Would not recommend and definitely would not return.

We called in for a quick lunch on a Saturday afternoon in Whitby. The dining area looked pleasant but the staff seemed a bit miserable. We ordered the crab sandwich, which wasn't on the menu but was on the blackboard outside with no price displayed. When the sandwich arrived it was about 90% lumps of brown crab meat/paste between two slices of brown bread. No salad, no mayonnaise and no seasoning. It came with a few chips and we asked the waiter for some mayonnaise. It wasn't inedible, as I was quite hungry, but it was bland and definitely needed the mayonnaise. My partner wasn't keen at all and barely ate any, apart from the chips which were ok. Afterwards we asked the waitress for the bill but she never returned so we went to the bar to pay. This took ages as the customer in front was trying to pay by card and they were having to enter the details manually which wasn't working. We offered to pay cash to speed things up and I was quite shocked when she said £20.80! That was for one poor quality crab sandwich and two glasses of lemonade. I didn't question it at the time because we just wanted to get out of there and enjoy the rest of our day. We wouldn't go back.

Everywhere in Whitby that wasn’t a fish and chip restaurant was fully booked so we were delighted to find that here we could get a table with only a few hours notice. The staff were lovely, the dining room and bar were too, the food on the other hand …. not so much. To start, my wife had the pumpkin soup which she says was excellent. I had the crab macaroni cheese - it was dry, it literally had no cheese sauce, and it was tasteless - sorry, but true. We both had the hake for our main course. The fish was dry and tasteless and what the heck was going on with those potato dumplings, I’ve no idea. They too were dry and tasteless. The bill came to just over £100 (admittedly, I think it was £32 of that was for a nice bottle of wine). The food though, I’m sorry to say WHandG scored ‘nil points’ - very poor.

Had a meal here which was okay. Wife’s starter was burnt but mine was acceptable. Mains were pretty decent though in fairness. Then we came to pay. The card machine was broken and we were then told by the younger of the two staff on duty on the 2nd November that if we didn’t go to the cash machine and pay in the next 30 minutes that she would call the police! Incredible, If you own this establishment you need to look at who you employ and what training you give them. The waitress was clearly not suitable for this type of work and obviously quite stupid to say this to a customer. This type of nonsense is not acceptable under any circumstance.

Cold baked been in a pot and the smallest piece of black pudding you have ever seen it was like a grape fruit segment.Toast was not brought at all to us .when I saw another couple who came down after us been handed some I asked the waiter where ours was and his reply in a rude tone was you never asked for any .He went off and brought us some which was also Cold with a tiny pot of butter no preserves to go with it .which apparently you have to ask for these as well .Wouldn't no this as never stayed before and will not be staying again for (£110 a night )wish I had read the bad reviews before booking

We had two meals at the pub over the course of our stay in Whitby and both were stunning! The setting is beautiful, both downstairs in the candlelit restaurant but also upstairs with the fire going. Best meals myself and my wife have both had...

I would be ashamed to have served this food to anyone! I felt sorry for the waiting staff that had to deliver it. Appalling and overpriced with absolute no care or attention. My dish was not just badly executed but in no way resembled the...

The staff and service were great, very friendly and amenable. The baked oysters were tasty. The starter Hash mixture was greasy and no taste. The baked soufflé was just nice… three of us had the roast beef, the one slice of beef each of us...

Unfortunately our visit was let down by the substandard service. I enjoyed my meal, however the staff were unwelcoming, unfriendly and some were particularly frosty! We’ve eaten here before and returned as we enjoyed the food but we will not be returning. When people come...

We were very disappointed with the food. I ordered the Polenta dish for a starter and it was literally tasteless and tiny. This was £10! I couldn't get over it. For my main I had the chicken hotpot which could be described as a burnt...

Service was great, the wine list fabulous, however the vegetarian options especially the onion tart was poor and very expensive. Whole shallots in a pastry case with a tiny rocket salad was just not good enough.A disappointing meal for both my children.

My wife and I just spent 2 nights in this awfully charming place. It truly is a different stroke from anything around, and as soon as you walk in through the door, you step into history. The staff were so friendly and extremely helpful. Location...

We've previously been several times to this hotel and restaurant. Visited again to have lunch; four adults and one dog. It was a very quiet day with just the one couple in the bar area. The girl behind the bar was lovely and welcoming and...

Small quirky bar centrally located. Looks cosy from the outside but inside is dirty, smelly and drinks are extortionate.

5 o’clock on a Tuesday night but the ambience was great and staff were really accommodating. The food menu was relatively limited which I love - means proper focus and from the chef and less dithering from us 😳 Had cooked oysters to start -...

My wife booked this b & b for the night after seeing it rated very good on booking. com. It’s nothing like the pictures advertising it on various sites. I can appreciate that the building is really old and steeped in history. The decor, fixtures...

We’ve often looked in and dismissed this place as you can’t really see the restaurant through a thin and overcrowded bar. It’s actually really lovely inside with plenty of tables across a couple of floors. The food was excellent and a treat from the usual...

A long time since we've been here and the place has changed only slightly. It's the same old coaching inn with plenty of atmosphere and the fireplace at the far end of the bar. The fire wasn't lit on our visit but it always used...

We had a lovely anniversary meal here at the WHG. This truly historical building set the scene, with a quirky but well stocked bar before we were seated. The crab starter was excellent. The other starter a blue cheese & pickled walnut starter was tasty...
