Whitby Cafes, The Varied Choice Available
Think of fish and chips' and the town of Whitby on the North Yorkshire Coast is foremost
in the mind.This is evidently so with a large number of people who travel miles to sample this traditional delicacy'.
This picturesque port with its maritime history, has, over centuries, been famous for its fishing fleet and the ships sailing from here. Due to its situation on the Yorkshire Coastline, it is a natural harbour set at the mouth of the River Esk. It is only in recent years that there has been a decline in the number of full-time fishing boats setting forth from this safe haven.
In addition to fresh fish, Whitby has been renowned for its shellfish, and indeed in many parts of the world Whitby Scampi' is often on the menu. Sadly, with the decline of the fishing fleet, the shellfish is landed elsewhere and brought here to the restaurants and cafes.
There are a large number of cafes in the town ranging in size and variety of menus. Day trippers and coach parties are a highly established source of revenue for the local cafes, particularly so when offering reasonably priced menus. Many of these cafes are positioned near to the harbour in close proximity to the coach drop-off points. Hardly described as cheap and cheerful', these establishments offer an important service to the town and its tourism.
For the early morning fishermen, a few local cafes will open their doors as early as 5.30 in the morning, supplying a welcome hot drink and a full English breakfast to fortify them for the days fishing ahead. In addition, they can often supply packed lunches to sustain the fishing fraternity on the piers and beaches throughout the day.
Some rather well-known cafes are always linked to seafood. Some meat dishes may be on offer but fair to say, the diners visiting there are there primarily for the seafood and fish dishes! Some restaurants are proud to advertise the fact that they are fish and chip' shops.They are invariably set around the harbour side and/or near to the Whitby Sing Bridge displaying their menus in the time honoured tradition of Fish, Chips, peas, bread and butter and a pot of tea all for only (price of the day)
Cafes exclusively selling drinks and confectionary have made an appearance over the last few years, in particular, sodas, ice-creams and some dedicated solely to chocolate. Popular with all ages, there is a broad appeal not exclusively to children! Individually designed themed cafes are making an appearance over the last decade, appealing to the visitor with perhaps a little more spending power and those looking for a little something different'.Understandably when considering the design and furnishings.
Contemporary cafes complete the abundance of choice available. With their streamlined lines and modernistic approach they would not appear out of place in the capital cities. Perhaps the visiting clientele of such cafes feel at home with the contemporary style of their surroundings but for others, the appeal of the smaller caf format is part of the appeal of the town of Whitby.
The choice is there for all the visitors but in the main, it would appear that there is a caf to suit all budgets and particular taste, be it the traditional fish and chips, ice-cream and chocolate, seafood, a full English breakfast or three course meal. One thing is certain, the locals and visitors alike enjoy the variety and styles available as evidence by the continuing success of each and every establishment.
