Duke of York Whitby

Church Street's where Whitby's soul lives—all cobbles and ghosts and creaking buildings—and the Duke of York slots right in. You'll find yourself in a proper locals' pub, the kind where the ale selection matters and nobody's worried about Instagram angles. It's got that worn-in comfort of a place that's been pulling pints for generations, with low ceilings and the kind of character you can't manufacture. The food's straightforward and honest; they're not trying to be clever, just feeding people well.
