We only ever ate fish and chips in the Magpie once. It was poor. (Mind you, it was just after the lengthy closure they’d had some years back.)
There are better places in Whitby.
The Fisherman’s Second Wife (think that’s the name) has served us well. It had some super OAP deals and a decent view.
Dunno how things are now. Must be pre-covid since our last visit to Whitby.
