A nice pub… but with the name ‘Middle Earth tavern’ it needs to be so much more! With a Gollum/Sméagol hanging sign, it’s pretty disappointing inside as there’s no further LOTR references. Quite odd. Very sanitised and with a strange table service setup (even just for drinks), we left feeling perpl
We walked here from the town, and just dropped in for a drink. We didn’t go inside, as it was such a gorgeous day, we sat out the front of the pub in the sunshine.
The two girls who were serving were friendly and attentive, and the beer was in excellent condition.
Just called for a quick drink sat outside.
Table service is good and quick.
My wife went to the toilets and said they were clean and the inside looks very nice.
Have to take your own water for dogs and bowl they don’t provide it
I’d seen the Middle Earth pub advertised online and I was excited to go and have a drink there. I have to admit I was disappointed to see it was just a normal pub. I was expecting something more themed - other than the sign outside and the coincidental choice of serving golden pippin beer, there is
I had a cup of tea. When putting the milk in it seemed off as was floating. I told one of the staff and she apologised and got me another one. We had drinks there another day. All the staff were friendly and efficient. Lovely pub.
Immaculately clean and welcoming pub just that little further off the tourist trail but truly worth seeking out.
The beer is well kept. Terrace on the front.
Go find this gem.
My partner and I have came here for my birthday trip away, and we loved it! First time coming in and we were met with welcoming arms; the music was great, very diverse, the staff were excellent and FULL of conversation/ cheerfulness. Can’t thank them enough for making our stay so warming!! Josie was
Great location right on the harbour. We sat outside and it was table service only, but the waitress was very attentive and always on her feet. Good selection of drinks.
We visited a couple of times and the servers are amazing. They greet you as you arrive and come to take your order extremely quickly. Very young and very good at their jobs.
What a cracking pub this is, we enjoyed a fine selection of real ales whilst sat outside enjoying the views of the river Esk estuary. The tables were scrupulously cleaned after each & every visitor, which was very reassuring. And the best bit is they are still serving drinks at the tables. Great sta
What a great find. It's out of the way of the crowds. Great beer at a good price and friendly helpful staff. Also has a sign with golum on it what's not to like
Lovely pub, probably best one we visited in Whitby. Great choice of beers at a good price. Didn't have food so couldn't comment
Brilliant great beers friendly family atmosphere well worth a visit 1st class 👍
We booked the Middle Earth Tavern to host our pre-wedding gathering in April and they could not have been better.
We only thought 30 or so people would turn up but actually more like 50 people showed up. Gill and her staff where incredibly accommodating, despite the increased numbers and we had the
