It might have a selection of real Ales and a cider however all the ones I tried were totally not just poorly kept but I thought actually just plain vile to drink aside from the Red Dwarf. I come from an area where I have access to quite a lot of pubs with multiple choice boards and pubs where the ale is brewed on site. Frankly considering this pub is reasonably unique in Whitby for offering the same the standard of ale in this pub compared to where I come from in the Black Country just does not make sense. The ale quality is frankly really poor. If it was good I would be putting a five star on the pub.

We were all starving and had to wait maybe only 15 minutes for a table, and the wait was certainly worth it. The menu is limited, as they only serve meat pies (with two veggie pie options- one vegan and one vegetarian). Your pie comes with mashed potato and either peas or mashed peas. The pies are quite large and they're so delectable. Best meat pies we had on the trip. The portions of potatoes and peas are generous, too. What really brings the experience to the next level, though, are the dishes the pies are served in and the music playing in the background. It creates an "old timey" experience that is the perfect touch. I will be dreaming of those pies, and would highly recommend that anyone in the area go here. It's a MUST.

We went through the door and headed straight for the stairs to the dining area which overlooks the harbour with a good view out to sea. I ordered Haddock, but was served what can only be described as a battered whale,...it was huge! The fish was about 12" long and very fresh, served with thick cut chips and mushy peas, with a side of fresh crispy salad and coleslaw. I ate the lot, and washed it down with a pot of tea. The only downside was having to go upstairs to pay by card, but thats only if you're like myself and forgot to get cash first. I've eaten here a few times over the years, and the staff have always been friendly, serving nice food, and in a quiet little 'tucked away' place for a bit of a break from the busy streets above.

Walrus Trip Advisor Review…read more Unless you enjoy thoroughly unpleasant management and bizarre experiences avoid this place like the plague. By chance we called at Walrus for breakfast. It was empty and we were two couples and two dogs. Once seated the Waitress asked that we should all be seated at the same table, which didn't really suit us with the dogs. We pointed out that they wouldn't actually make two couples who didn't know each other sit together and asked why would we need to. Amazingly the young waitress let slip that if we didn't she "would get shouted at". Even when we said would pay separate bills we were required to move. Once the seating fiasco was sorted in the empty cafe, and only AFTER we were served 4 full English Breakfasts Did the Owner/manager put in appearance, bizarrely accusing us of making a member of his staff cry and banning us from the Walrus and the establishment next-door. If your staff cry and they are worried about getting shouted at I say Look at your lack of man management skills not to mention your utterly useless customer service. I would have had some respect for the owner/manager had he been principled enough to put in an appearance before we were served, but I guess that would have seen him out of pocket. There was a second lot of customers arrived before we left a mum dad and child who were also told they were only allowed to use one table. At busy times I get it. You need to use tables as efficiently as possible in a small establishment, but when the place is empty? The way the Waitress who served us handled the initial situation is why we didn't walk out of the door without eating. I could not recommend The Walrus of Whitby to anyone even before the unpleasant owner/manager popped up and started the floor show in front two parents and a youngster. No wonder the place was empty. I certainly would not have returned to the establishment event without this laughable ban. TIP Rules of Customer service as I was taught them... Rule One The Customer is Always Right!
