The Magpie must be one of Whitby's most famous restaurants. Located on the main tourist strip of Whitby, alongside the harbour, it is instantly recognisable by the huge queue of people waiting for a table.
Seafood expert Rick Stein has also dined here, and way extreemly impressed - high praise indeed as he is the God in all that is seafood cookery.
Yes, the fish and chips are out of this world! So if you can face the queue then you must go for lunch one day! Fish and chips isn't complete without a slice of bread and butter and a cup of tea - but if you can manage without and want to forgo the queue then try the takeaway restaurant next door.
