Sanders Yard Bistro

What a delightful place to find. Popped in for a coffee. Walked down the alleyway to the door. There you wait for someone to seat you. After only a few seconds were were taken to a table. We wanted inside. The place is like the tardis from doctor who. It's big inside as well having a nice courtyard. Ended up ordering a breakfast as well as the coffee. Glad I did . It was fab. Even the tomato was cooked through. So many places can't cook a tomato. The bacon and everything else was nice and a big plus it's served on a hot plate so it all stays hot.

Breakfast was very nice, full English was hot an tasted like quality food. Pancakes where very tasty. Even though they were very busey an we hadn't booked an table, staff went out there way to fit us in.

Great little place serving cakes and lunchtime type food up until 3pm, after that its coffee and cakes only. They serge beer but its bottles only. I had the the Moroccan hummus with pitta bread and it was really tasty, especially the sweet potato fries from the specials board. My partner had smoked haddock and cheddar cheese fishcakes also off the specials board and said it was very tasty.

Home made fishcakes tasty but a little tough in places. Service a little lacking! Ordered a pot of tea which arrived promptly....without cups!!....had to ask for them!

A good place to retreat for lunch in Whitby. One could ask why all my ratings are on the higher side of the scale. It’s because I only rate those places I would go back to or would recommend to others. I also think all good food, friendly service and comfortable surroundings is enough to earn a 4 or 5… May be I should rate lesser experiences but just feel bad leaving 3 stars or below reviews. Sandler Yard is five stars and highly recommended. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Whitby’s retail shops this bistro offers an extensive menu of well prepared and tasty meals. I have to rate my burger a 5/5. The patty was light and airy and the right ratio of fat and minced beef. I really like that the extras provided on the side so that the burger wasn’t overfilled and prone to falling apart from plate to mouth. I know it’s hard to tell from my picture but it really was a great burger. I was assured by my wife that the warm goat and pear salad was equally as good. Nice and spacious dining room. We didn’t try the cakes as we were full, but there were plenty of choices there. Coffee was nice and strong if you are like me and prefer a COFFEE!
