The Moon & Sixpence — Restaurant in Whitby

We visited Whitby for our wedding anniversary. After looking for somewhere to dine we stumbled onto this gem!!

Immediately greeted by Dominic, who was very passionate about hospitality and the way he and the team made us comfortable was amazing!

We slipped into a few drinks ( thoroughly recommend the expresso martini) we decided to return another night and eat.

If you are luckily enough to enjoy the sofa seating by the front window you can gaze out onto the harbour and daydream whilst the sun goes down.

On our anniversary we decided to eat and I had the steak whilst my wife went for ceasar salad with a shared portion of potatoes- ( which were amazeballs as was my steak)! The food portions are great if you are deciding to move on for a few drinkypoos afterwards- don’t expect a great big slop of pub grub!! The Chef and kitchen team are passionate on presenting high quality food and their passion comes through on the pallet-

If you are like me and enjoy paying for quality food, drinks and service this place will not disappoint.

We both thoroughly enjoyed our 3 visits to the moon and sixpence and would like to thanks Dom, the owner ( who’s name slips my mind - that’s the martini)! And the whole service team.

We will be back!!...

We used to go here every time we visited Whitby which is why we booked to go here on a recent visit back , the menu seemed very limited to what I remember, we had various starters in the group and myself having the scampi which was beautiful then for the mains most of the party ordered steak Patty burgers to then be told they only had one left which is understandable as it was a busy weekend so three or us then opted for the chicken alternative but when it came it was three or four chicken goujons on a bread cake ( I believe it was advertised as this but I'm not sure because we had looked at the steak ones we had tried to order ) when the chicken burger item come it was pretty nice but the chips they all came with were pretty inedible as they were that heavily salted so these were left on the plate by most of the party ( again I do believe the fries are advertised as salted fries) but why not just serve fries and let people season them to personal taste , the staff was very pleasant and it's still a lovely place to visit for a drink but I think they need to get back up to old standards concerning the food and If they do we will have no problem in...

We have visited Whitby for a number of years and wanted to try somewhere different for our evening meal. Unfortunately the price of the evening menu here does not reflect in the quality of the food. Me & my husband had the pork belly and prawn soft tacos. There were two very small tacos each containing 3 pieces of filling in each. Costing £15 per plate with no sides included. The sides were an additional cost. Our friends had numerous small plates which consisted of the pork belly bites which were dry and chicken wings with a very minimal drizzle of sauce over wings which were not marinated. The hand cut chips were delicious and chicken strips were ok but on reflection we could of paid much less else where for better quality food and much bigger portions. Upon payment the service wasn’t great either. There was no question of if we enjoyed our meal and was asked to tap our card for payment with no prompt of the total. Which in addition to a disappointing meal left us having an overall poor experience. Unfortunately, we will not...
