A Sunday roast in Whitby is a must-do when staying in North Yorkshire. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or four-legged companions, you’ll find plenty of traditional pubs serving hearty portions and warm Yorkshire hospitality. Here are our favourite pubs for Sunday lunch near Whitby – all tried and tested by us, and just a short drive from our holiday lets in Aislaby.
🍽 The Forge, Aislaby
We love The Forge because it’s right on our doorstep – just a short stroll from our accommodation. This cozy, dog-friendly pub is run by a lovely local family who always make guests feel welcome. Prices are very reasonable, and the roast dinners are hearty and traditional. They don’t have an extensive menu on Sundays – it’s all about the classic roast, cooked to perfection. If you’re looking for a no-fuss, friendly atmosphere after a morning walk in the Esk Valley, The Forge is hard to beat.
🍽 The Witching Post Inn, Egton
The Witching Post Inn is a true local gem. With its small, traditional vibe and generous portions, it’s everything you’d want from a Yorkshire pub. Prices are very fair, making it a great option for a laid-back Sunday lunch. It’s also dog-friendly, so your furry friends can join in too. The beer garden is a bonus if you’re visiting in the warmer months.
🍽 The Wheatsheaf, Egton
Just you don’t fancy a roast. The Wheatsheaf Inn is a charming 19th-century pub located in the picturesque village of Egton, within the North York Moors National Park. This Grade II-listed building features traditional sandstone construction with pantile and slate roofs, showcasing classic architectural elements such as corbelled eaves and sash windows.
Inside, the inn offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with exposed beams, oak carved tables and open fires. A great spot for couples or families wanting a relaxed yet slightly upscale dining experience.
