Can anybody recommend somewhere to eat on Thursday evening 27th April
My family and I have rented a house up on West Cliff area and would prefer somewhere close by so I don't have to drive, then I can have a drink or two :-)

We have 2 daughters aged 10 and 14, so do not want a stuffy type of we don't like families place and preferably somewhere that doesn't allow smoking.
We are not into McDonalds type crap and do not want a fish and chip type place.
Is there an Italian close by that does something more than just Pizzas?

Indian restaurants are out as one daughter doesn't like Indian.

Be pleased to hear of any suggestions.

Thanks Ossenflags, we saw that place last year and wondered if it was OK. We will give it a try.
I was hoping there would be one around the North Terrace area. I can only see a chinky. Not sure if that is any good.

From: Tyke
Date: 23 Apr 06 - 06:36 PM

The Friendship Armature Rowing Club is on the East Side on Church Street.
Walk past the Market place down the Cobbled Street it's the next passageway on past Arguments Yard. OH YES IT IS! However it has an entrance on Church Street the Bar overlooking the harbour is the entrance down the passage.

Moutreys on Grape Lane (East Side of Swing Bridge, lane next to Whitby Gazette Office, 50 yds on left) are the best italian style resturant with kids. Went there 3 weeks ago with the 15 and 9 year olds. Excelent food and made a big fuss of the kids and us... A brill evening in all and very reasonabaly priced... No I dont have shares in the place...

Garrigas is indeed no more. Site is under refurbishment with papered-over windows, but new signage indicates a bar/bistro. We'll see how it turns out. Further along we are supposed to have a new Indian eatery, but they are apparently having trouble recruiting a chef, so that one is also a "wait and see" at present.

Hi Folks,

Can anyone advise me where unofficial sessions happen at Moor and Coast as I've not been before, but have stewarded at Whitby Folk Weeks in August.

I enjoy George Garside's organised ones but am playing for Morris sides in Goathland or elsewhere when his are on so can't get to them.

Will be there from Friday pm to Monday so any suggestions as to likely venues, particularly evening ones would be useful.

Flaj.

Black Horse and Endeavour are two likely venues for "fringe" singing
