    The Star Inn the Harbour - marvellous views over the harbour towards St May´s

    This is one of three restaurants owned by Andrew Pern- a Michelin star chef for another one of his…read morerestaurants called Star Inn at Harem which is in Helmsley. His third restaurant is in York: Star Inn the City. It is important to keep this in mind when going to The Star Inn the Harbour- it is a seaside restaurant catering to tourists who want a quick bite of fish and chips, but it also has a reputation at stake. We went for the fish and chips- although my husband doesn't like fried fish so he got the grilled fish of the day which was Hike and it was fabulous- perfectly cooked and presented (see the photo). We shared an order of Mashed Peas which were perfectly seasoned. I got the fish and chips and it was delicious- served with malt vinegar and tartar sauce. I wouldn't get it on a regular basis- too heavy for me- but being on vacation in England, I had to try it at least once and this is the place to try it!!

    What a disappointment when you have visited the Star Inn at Harome before!…read moreCertainly: a stunning location, the old tourist informtation perfectly converted into a pleasant restaurant with marvellous views across the harbour to Whitby Abbey and St. Mary´s. A welcoming friendly service, but that`s all of it. OK, the oysters were fresh, but what can you do wrong on oysters? The brill wallowed on a completely off-tasting brown sauce, which seems to be a undiluted 1:1 mixture of soy sauce and vinegar in which worm-like soaky noodles were paddling (looks a bit like fried bosse intestine in China). Yellow tuna (a member on the red list of Greenpeace; that much to local fish!) finished with anchovis, olives and pickled mini cobs, ruining the original taste of the fish completely. And for what reason "Maris Piper" is highlighted as their potato variety of choice: its the most common grown ordinary mass variety in the UK but also one of the most susceptible potato varieties to being eaten by slugs. What`s positive: after complaining, they did not charge for the fish anymore! Well done, but no second chance!
