Hooked on flavour since 1980

Established in 1980, Trenchers of Whitby has cemented itself as a must-visit destination in the North of England thanks to its traditional menu of fish and chips, seafood and British dishes, served all day, everyday, throughout the year.

At Trenchers New Quay Road, we fry using the traditional method of beef dripping to ensure the best possible product for our customers. With options including seafood salads, crab, lobster, fresh fish, homemade pies and lasagnes, Whitby scampi, vegetarian options and a dedicated children’s menu, there truly is something for everyone.

Situated on Whitby’s iconic harbour side, Trenchers provides the perfect setting for all of the family and parties of any size, with booth seating throughout, and friendly service at every visit.

For those seeking something quick, the restaurant also operates a fish and chip takeaway alongside the main venue.
