| A great little pub of the old school. Limited space, but there seemed to be a change of shifts among the clientele around 8 p.m. and we always managed to get a seat eventually. It bears repeating that they are very friendly both sides of the bar. The bar staff recognized and welcomed us back after just one visit. When full, the back bar had a real sense that if you were in the room, then you were part of the company. Nibbles such as bread and olives, were very welcome, and were served up very promptly. There is a good selection of hand drawn ales. I quickly settled on the Black Dog brew called "Rhattas", a porter type beer with rather more body than the other fairly pale local ales. I hazarded a guess at the pronunciation, and was right! manteur - 10 Aug 2008 13:39 |
| Classic little pub opposite the old marketplace. The front bar is pretty much original, basic and full of atmosphere. The back bar has a bit more seating but still compact, easily got full on a Saturday night. Friendly people on both sides of bar. Beer quality excellent, Taylors Landlord, though a bit pricey at £2.70. Local guest beer from black dog, Adnams bitter and a couple of other guests. And a rarity -Keg Imperial. brisk - 22 Jan 2008 17:50 |
| Very busy on night we visited, hard to find a place to stand. Ended up next to the "soup pot" which was still switched on and still had something left in the bottom, and some nicely stale pieces of bread next to it. So I guess Sunday lunch will have been Turkey Casserole and Bread & Butter Pudding. Anyway, a good pint, and hard really to fault a place that was clearly doing storming business.

| I agree with all the other comments,we found this pub by accident and it has become almost a second home when we come to Whitby on holiday,full of characters and atmosphere,a proper pub and we recommend it to anyone we know going to Whitby. robbthedog - 7 Sep 2007 15:13 |
| Excellent little pub. Sadly most of the ales were off during my visit. What was on offer was in excellent condition and complimented the Yorkshire cheese plate wonderfully. To use a cliche, its a gem. Zaphod - 20 Jul 2007 14:13 |
