Built in 1681, The White Horse & Griffin perfectly captures the heritage, ambience and essence of Whitby. A stone’s throw from the foot of the famous 199 Abbey steps, the bar, restaurant and 10 character ensuite bedrooms transport visitors to a bygone world of explorers, smugglers and gallons of alcohol. Open daily from 8am, the restaurant has a reputation for great food served in a relaxed, unfussy style.
