Ay-up! We need to catch up with brewing & bottling so won’t be opening indoors yet. We’ll be sticking to outdoor service for the time being. Sorry for any inconvenience - getting beer on the shelves is a top priority at the moment. But, we’re now serving pizzas every day 2-8pm!

A beautiful and atmospheric Tim Hill photograph of St Mary’s Church In Whitby. Dating back to 1100, the church has been added to and restored over the centuries. The Church retains its 18th century box pews and a triple decker pulpit

Thanks again to everyone who supported our response to the Northern May 2022 timetable proposals. It has now been confirmed that the changes will be delayed by a year or beyond. So delayed but not necessarily withdrawn! @joe_plant58 @northyorkmoors @northyorkscc @gazetteinwhitby
