Abbey Wharf is one of those places that manages to tick every box for the team here at Whitby Holiday Rentals. Abbey Wharf serves excellent food, great drinks, and one of the best views in Whitby. Sitting right on the east side of the harbour, this spacious bar and restaurant has become a go-to for locals and visitors alike, and it’s easy to see why.
Why we love Abbey Wharf, Whitby
Firstly, Abbey Wharf is on our list for the atmosphere. On a sunny day, the balcony and outdoor decks are unbeatable, with views across the harbour and out to the piers. It’s also the perfect spot for people-watching over lunch or enjoying a cocktail over the harbour.
Grab a bite to eat
The food at Abbey Wharf is another highlight. Known for its generous portions and fresh, locally sourced ingredients, Abbey Wharf is especially popular for its fish and chips, a beloved Whitby staple, but the menu also has plenty of variety to keep everyone happy, even if you aren’t a seafood fanatic.
Ordering is made easy with table service, allowing you to sit back and let everything come to you, or you can do it the old-fashioned way – it’s up to you. Add in the fact that it’s dog-friendly, and it becomes an easy choice for anyone visiting with four-legged companions.
Fancy a drink?
The drinks menu is also another reason it’s on our list! From a wide selection of beers and ciders to cocktails and wines, there’s something for every taste. One of the quirkiest and, dare I say, modern touches we love is the self-serve pint station. Tap your card, choose your drink, and pour it yourself. It’s a fun, easy way to try something new, whether you fancy a crisp cider or a refreshing pint of lager.
Abbey Wharf also stands out for its events and entertainment. They often host live music and themed nights, everything from retro disco sets to lively Northern Soul evenings. Whether you’re in the mood for a relaxed meal, a few cocktails with friends, or a whole evening of music and dancing, Abbey Wharf has something to offer.
