Reviews of Sanders Yard Restaurant

Superb! Had to wait a few minutes for a table and you do have to book at least a day in advance to guarantee a spot! We can see why, superb cake, coffee and tea! Piping hot strong flat white coffee and hot cherry pie with tons of custard. We also shared a Yorkshire curd cake which is difficult to describe and went will with some of the leftover custard !! Highly recommended

Always have to Pop in whenever we are in Whitby. Tucked away through an alley entrance but plenty of room inside and out. One half of the restaurant takes dogs (our main reason for coming). The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Comfortable atmosphere. The food is good quality, well cooked and there is plenty of choice. The breakfasts can’t be beaten, and they serve them up till half eleven which gives you enough time to get there!

We enjoy coming here for an early Breakfast bun. The coffee is fantastic too. The staff are very accommodating and friendly, food is quality and always hot. The prices are reasonable and there’s a fair choice on the menu. It’s dog friendly and although I don’t really like dogs around food, every visit, the dogs have all been very well behaved. If I had one criticism, as it was December, and quite cold, I’d fit some sort of door closing device. How people think it’s OK to leave the door open is beyond me. Its certainly won’t stop us coming again, but I think I’d prefer not to stay in the section where the entrance is. Edit. Another visit. Really well looked after with my Dairy free breakfast. Extra credit when we hadn’t realised the mushrooms were cooked in butter.

Have eaten at this hidden gem twice now and it never disappoints. Restaurant is spacious and airy - staff are welcoming & it’s nice being served with a genuine smile. The selection of food is good with excellent vege & vegan options available. I had the vege chilli nachos and the portion was huge - I needed help finishing it. Overall, a very tasty & satisfying lunch in a fantastic location. Our group of 5 really enjoyed both visits here and will return when we’re next in Whitby. Perfect to dine before climbing the 199 steps!

Really nice please. Plenty of veggie options. Good quality food. The salad could be better ( bulk frisee salad and half a tiny tomato )the Mississippi mud pie wasn't the right thing it was a cheesecake type thing not the layered pie that it should be- it was still ok but not as good as it should be. Would still go back. It was very busy and the staff were great.

Having booked an apartment with the shepherds purse, the Bistro was Ideal to go to for breakfast in fact it was so nice we came back for an evening meal as well, which was wonderful too. The staff were very pleasant and very happy to make sure all was well, performed with a smile. The coffee was really nice, not sure what it was called but excellent! The list of cakes was just mouth watering. So I can highly recommend this Bistro for breakfast or evening meal, fabulous.

Mum and I had decided to spend the day in Whitby some weeks back, as it's one of our favourite places to go for the day. We'd parked up for the day and had a look around a few of the shops and as a few hours passed and it was approaching 12 o'clock, we decided to look for somewhere to have a bit of lunch. Due to my mum having a wheat and gluten intolerance, it can be difficult at times to find places that cater to such dietary requirements. A place we had tried some months back was alright, but wasn't the greatest. We'd happened to stumble upon Sander's Yard Bistro merely by chance, as it was tucked away from the bustling cobbled street. After having a look at the menu by the gate, we thought we'd give it a try. Although it was busy, one of the staff members was more than happy to find us a table and it wasn't long before we'd got one. We were seated on a fab table by the main door, overlooking the wonderfully charming courtyard. A real bonus that the weather kept ever so nice for us too! We had a lovely lady who served us and nothing seemed too much trouble, not to mention there were some great gluten-free options available. So mum ended up ordering the mature cheddar, red onion and tomato on a toasted gluten-free bun and I got the Cumberland sausage sandwich in a warm ciabatta roll and we were really impressed. It was hot, well-presented and very enjoyable, not to mention the fab raspberry milkshake! We'd have liked to try the selection of cakes they had too, but we were full after our bit of lunch. However we shall certainly be back for more without a doubt. Really pleased with the great food, great location in a quiet space and the great staff also! Many thanks to Sander's Yard Bistro! :)

Visited here as a guest when the Bistro was closed for a wedding reception. The staff were great and very accommodating, and the wedding meal was excellent. A wild owl visits the adjacent open air yard which entertained us. As it was near Halloween and Whitby Goth weekend the bistro was fittingly decorated which added to the happy atmosphere.

Tucked in a lane off Christchurch Street this is a lovely spot for breakfast, lunch, coffee, tea. Two indoor seating areas (one with comfy sofas, chairs, one with proper tables and chairs) as well as outdoors courtyard. Super friendly staff. Everything fresh and interesting. Order and pay at counter. Lots of local artwork.
