The Royal George Hotel — Restaurant in England

We were walking part of the Cleveland Way from Saltburn to Whitby and stayed overnight at the Royal George. Arriving parched mid afternoon, we had a lovely pint of cider sitting at the front in the sun. After that, we checked in. A lovely helpful staff member showed us to our room. A double en suite, it had everything that was needed - mineral water, lots of tea and coffee, a nice en suite with toiletries, comfortable bed, charging points, etc. It was in good repair and the newish double glazing very nearly coped with the herring gulls at 5am! We wandered around Staithes, then returned for another pint, before having a shower and then eating. The food was fantastic - but erring on the 'too much'. I had the surf n turf. A 10 oz sirloin with whitebait, scampi and calamari rings, etc. The seafood salad was also ordered - what a plateful. The side order of chips was redundant. We had a couple of glasses of wine. All very enjoyable. The staff were all great.

In the morning, breakfast was served in a small breakfast room. I had the full english - which was daft given what I ate the night before. But it was all lovely and again, we were looked after by friendly and helpful staff. We packed up and set off on the rest of our walk to Whitby.

I would happily stay here again. I would certainly happily drink and eat here again. Please note that they do a lunch and then evening food service - it is not an all day service. Also, it's well worth booking in to eat as the Royal George is quite small and so pitching up ad hoc may leave you...

Absolutely amazing!! We reserved a table via email for a table here for my husband's birthday. We're not from the area but after reading reviews we gave it a go! Arrived at 12pm on a Wednesday to a very quiet pub however the welcome was friendly and welcoming. A good lunch menu. A shame the specials board is only available on an evening (not mentioned on the board) but still good selection.

Our 19 old daughter has recently been diagnosed with Coeliac disease so she can't eat gluten. The pub was very accommodating to her needs. Choice of drinks and food that she could have and they happily provided a burger without the bun without issue. After bringing over the food they asked her if she wanted gluten free onion rings done in gluten free batter. We were a little taken aback by such a lovely gesture. She wasn't made to feel awkward or tricky in any way.

All the food was exceptional. The onion rings were amazing too!! We all enjoyed them!! The children's menu was great, our youngest really enjoyed it and hubby said it was the best pie (with meat filled gravy!!) he'd ever had!!

Would not hesitate to return. Lovely people, lovely pub. Amazing food. It was a lot busier when we left, we definitely timed it right! 🤣😁A HUGE thank you to all involved! We will be back...

Just stayed for one night. Fantastic location. And a decent enough welcome. Room lovely, clean and comfy bed. Lovely quality tea.and coffee. We were asked what time would we like breakfast the choice was 8, 8.30, 9 or 9.30 we chose 9am we came down for breakfast and service was good.. then we chose full breakfast and a good size one turned up!! When we started eating it was clear it had been cooked and left to keep warm ages the egg looked like the yolk had been on somebody elses plate hash brown had such a hard bottem you couldn't get your teeth though it, I'm sure they knew how bad it was as they kept well out of the way. We left lots of the breakfast! We proceeded to check out and she said was everything OK ? I said lovely apart of the breakfast that had been kept warm far too long.. she just said sorry and not very sincerly and changed the subject.. we travel alot and vote with our feet.. won't be returning to stay at the Royal george. Such a shame. But we didn't let it ruin our lovely trip to Staithes..and we will...
