Whitby Mission Cafe - Scarborough

I frequently visit Whitby and enjoy stopping by this restaurant for a light meal, as it is affordable and also supports a charity. I also appreciate the table top sales they offer.

I was disappointed to find that the restaurant was closed during my visit to Whitby. This is usually the only restaurant I go to when I am in town, and I have been there many times before.

If you find yourself in Whitby, you absolutely must visit this restaurant. Based on a recommendation, we made a reservation in advance, which we were grateful for although there wasn't much of a wait on a Tuesday afternoon. The food was outstanding! We both ordered the regular fish and chips, which was a generous portion and the fish was flavorful and not greasy at all, a definite bonus. We will definitely be returning when we are in Whitby again.

Stopped her my husband got us a cup of tea and we sat outside with our baby and 2 year old toddler. She asked to go to the toilet so I nipped in to check they had one, then went back in to get her and I carried her in and was stopped and asked very curtly “can I help you” I explained I was sitting outside and my daughter needed the toilet. I was given a dirty look but ignored it. When I went to the toilet I opened the door and some kind of am dram looked like it was going on, I quickly asked if this was the way to the toilet and was told again with an attitude yes but “she” needs to be quiet. Horrible experience and I wouldn’t have been as upset about it if it wasn’t all said with attitude and dirty looks. This was a busy sunny Sunday lots of people and children about. Avoid in the future.

Very basic but a lovely place to have coffee and cake. The lunches and sandwiches looked delicious. Staff friendly
