The Black Horse is a tiny, traditional, two bar pub in the heart of Whitby's old town. We are too small to accommodate groups, or dog pushchairs unless folded.
(1016)

We offer a great selection of drinks, which perfectly complement our Yapas (Yorkshire tapas) menu, food is served daily from 12 - 9pm. We have 4 en-suite letting rooms which are pet free, but offer a self catering apartment which sleeps 2 and up to 2 dogs. Dogs are welcome in both bar areas, however from 1st September, WE WON'T ALLOW UNDER 18'S IN THE PUB. If you're looking for a relaxed, small venue for a wedding, we are licenced. We hope you love the place as much as we do, Sue, Ian and the team

Don’t forget to pop in for a warm up with some of our Yapas or a hot drink, we have mulled w**e as well as hot toddies and hot spiced apple 🎃☠️👻🕷️🍁

I’d like to thank everyone who gave me credit for being clever enough to use AI to alter my photos yesterday (I didn’t and I’m not 🤣), the actual photos were dramatic enough, and hopefully vehicles were fixable.

For those who would rather an AI picture, this was sent to me yesterday…….😁

We still have a few portions of the Whitby caught tuna, available as a poke bowl. It’s your last chance this season, so don’t miss out.

Last orders for food is 8.45pm 🐟🐟🐟

Hopefully people have stayed safe last night during the extremely high winds. These cars have unfortunately been victim where part of the church yard wall has blown down.

Take care, stay away from the coastal path, and safe travels if you’re heading home as many smaller roads have been affected by falling trees

For those of you hoping to go to the illuminated abbey this weekend, the storms have changed the plans…..

We're incredibly sorry to share that, due to the severe weather conditions associated with Storm Austen and Storm Boelo, we've had to make some changes to Whitby Abbey's opening arrangements. Illuminated Whitby Abbey is unable to go ahead tonight and this weekend. Full details below:

Friday 23rd October
• The site will be open in the daytime
• Illuminated Whitby Abbey will not take place

Saturday 24th October

• Whitby Abbey will be open during the day until 2pm.
• Illuminated Whitby Abbey will not take place.

Sunday 25th October

• Whitby Abbey will be closed all day.
• Illuminated Whitby Abbey will not take place.

This is not a decision we've taken lightly and we're hugely disappointed, especially for everyone who was looking forward to visiting this weekend. However, the safety of our visitors, staff and volunteers must always come first.

We sincerely apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause.

If you have pre-booked tickets for Illuminated Whitby Abbey, these will be automatically refunded within 10 working days and you don't need to do anything further.

We will re-access the situation on Monday morning for the week ahead and provide a further update then.

Thank you for your understanding. Stay safe everyone. ❤️

On 19th October in St. Catherine’s Hospice, surrounded by his family, Pete sadly passed away. He was a familiar face in the front bar over the years, often one half of a double act with Tex. He’ll be missed by us all. Pete didn’t want a fuss, so there won’t be a funeral, but if you want to remember him in your own time, and maybe raise a spiced rum and coke to him, pop in and share your memories.
RIP Pete, from all of us at The Black Horse xx

This weekend is your last opportunity to have some of the first tuna caught off Whitby in around 90 years!

Whether you missed out the previous times, or you need another helping, pop in on Saturday or Sunday. We have a few pre-orders and feedback has been amazing. We’ve been so excited to be able to have Whitby caught tuna on our Yapas menu.

See you soon🐟🐟🐟

It’s finally that time of year again. Mulled w**e is available again from today.

Pop in for a cheeky warm up or two, it’s the classic ‘cuddle in a mug’ 🍷🍷🍷
