Sandsend, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

“An annual trip over the moors to this friendly legend serving the freshest of fish” is a regular treat for many in our annual diners’ poll who brave the “steep steps” up to the door for the “best fish ’n’ chips in the world”. “There’s strong competition in Whitby but the Magpie is always a winner” and it is not only one of the top-50 most mentioned places outside London in our annual diners’ poll, but also the most commented-on vendor of the national dish. “Been going for 40 years… it’s as good as ever!”. Top Menu Tip – “Although almost everyone seems to go for the excellent fish ’n’ chips options (portions so large that doggy bags were being used)” the “specials board is especially good” – “exceptional seafood carbonara, full of an interesting range of seafood and delicately seasoned sauce. The Monkfish & King Prawn with spicy couscous was also amazing”.
