We love this place. It is a great friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious. Nick is so friendly and welcoming. The house wine is delicious, and the playlist is perfect. A real hidden gem. Definitely recommend if you are in Whitby.
Magnificent spot! We visited during a night away before Christmas and it's left such a lasting impression. The food is fabulous, wine equally so but the ambience is like nothing I've ever experienced. Kudos to the owner, he's one of a kind and has created such a beautiful little restaurant. We'll certainly be back!
A small and quirky little place up on Flowergate. Nick is a star doing everything himself including cooking and serving, his food is tasty and to a high standard and his artwork is great too.
Must visit in Whitby but booking essential - only has capacity for 10-14 people in a very small but quirky space, with the chef operating in a behind the bar feel kitchen. Staff were very entertaining and food was delicious! Small menu with specials did not disappoint. Best to call to make a reservation
Awesome, great food, excellent hosts. I can't recommend this highly enough. If you love tapas, fall in love with Crocodile.
