Our visit to the Whitby Way was a good experience, the fish & chips were hot and delicious, the beer excellent, the surroundings clean and reasonably peaceful, but it is always a little busy around the area. The area is also interesting and busy with the fishing boats, the docks and often outside markets nearby, but it isn't too offensively noisy. All things considered, the area is interesting and busy, but also friendly and one can relax there.
Visited Whitby on our recent 3 day break, where we called in at the Whitby Way (Thursday afternoon 13th November, it was very quiet we were the only ones in, the pub itself was fine and the young barmaid was pleasent enough, my beef was the prices, we visited several pubs in Whitby but this was by far the most expensive £8.50 for a pint of icebreaker ipa and a ½ of Madri, as it was we just had the one drink but had the prices been more in line with other pubs in the area we would have stayed for more drinks. Whether there's a price for locals and a different price for visitors, either way there not doing themselves any favours at those prices.
came here on goth weekend. surprisingly quiet. literally just myself and my daughter were here. that said service was fine, price was fine and drinks were fine. Will happily visit again in future.
Great pub for entertainment, reasonable priced drinks and friendly staff.
