Another thing that isn't in short supply in Whitby are pubs, however we have found that it can be a problem finding a nice pub to eat in, The Duke of York is one of the most popular, and after visiting there for over 5 years, I can see why. It's at the bottom of the 199 steps and overlooks the harbour with some lovely window seats in there. Presuming you can get a seat, as some nights it's so packed people stand and wait for spaces, the menu has a reasonable number of choices on it, one of the famous dishes is the steak and ale pie that comes with chips, salad and peas and its so filling but ultra tasty. The pub itself really nice to sit and drink in with plenty of seafaring decorations and images of the Whitby and the prices are pretty reasonable too.
