'Robertsons' & 'Marine', Whitby

Well, due to my dietary requirements I can't have Fish & Chips which are cooked in dripping...

...we usually go to a place called Robertsons on the south side of the harbour on the left just past the old shambles and the Toymaster shop.

They use veg oil, but their fish & chips are still great. However they were closed last Friday.

Ended up going to the Marine which is by the fish quays on the corner opposite the gypsy cabin, looks a very trendy wine bar as it has a pianist, fish & chips were great, chunky chips, homemade mushy peas very good value and pleasantly surprised, would go there again!

At Marine it was £6.50 for what they called small cod or haddock, chips, home made mushy peas and tartare sauce.

The portion was just right didn't feel too bloated, my dad had the large cod at £9.50 and he was stuffed.

Despite the upmarket feel, there were 10 of us including 4 children all under 10 and we felt very welcome, the most important bit for me was that they also used veg oil.

The piano player gave nice relaxing feel to the place, despite the usual stresses if eating out with young children!

Robertsons is still worth a visit as well.

I hope this helps!
