The Pier Inn is a very nice, dog-friendly pub near the Whitby Pier - located in a historic, listed building. The beer selection is decent, there are always a few real, hand-pumped ales on in addition to the usual roster of British and international lagers.
The menu is typical for local, British pub grub, and the Jumbo Cod I had (twice!) was both excellent and truly "jumbo" - best fish & chips I had in quite a while: the batter was crunchy and tasty, the chips well-cooked - even the mushy peas are edible (and not as much of a sludge as they usually are!) And at just UKP 9.95 I think the value is excellent, too. Drinks prices are moderate, the bar staff friendly and helpful, the décor clean and consumer-friendly.
Just be aware that there will be a lot of dogs at this place, and some will be wailing while you're eating. read more
