Formerly the Khyber Fish Restaurant, and now renamed Hudsons Restaurant and Grill, we paid another visit to our favourite Fish and Chip Restaurant in Whitby.
With Paul, Tracy, Christine, Graham and the kids we had a very nice meal indeed. The restaurant is still owned by the same family, the only thing that has changed is the name. Apparently the name Khyber Restaurant left people thinking it was an Indian Restaurant.
Anyway, there is nothing quite like fresh coastal air to whip up an appetite for freshly cooked and nicely served Fish and Chips. Unlike its counterpart, Magpie Cafe, in Whitby , the Khyber Fish Restaurant treats its customers with deference allowing for an un-rushed pleasant meal with plenty of space around you, while looking out across the spectacular harbour into the North Sea that provides an ever changing and interesting view.
We have now visited the Khyber Restaurant a several times now, the last time in August 2009, and have always enjoyed the freshly cooked fish and chips, which in our opinion and the opinion of many of our friends are far better than those served up in the Magpie Cafe. Our recommendation is that you park up at the Old Abbey Car Park and walk down the 199 steps into the town, stroll through the Art shops, tea shops and curiosity shops passing over the bridge to then wander further down the harbour until you can go no further. You will find the Khyber Restaurant up on your left. After those steps and the bracing sea air I promise that you will be ready for a sit down and a good hearty North Yorkshire meal.
To top it off do try one of the deserts that will tempt you in the display to the left as you walk in.
Score: 3 Stars.
