    Great experience as always. Beautiful, historic location and delicious food. The desserts were homemade and well presented. Cost of dishes affordable. If visiting Whitby it's worth visiting The White Horse and Griffin.

    Really enjoyed. We went right in middle of Goth weekend and despite the pub being very busy, the dining area was quiet (noise and numbers). The food was excellent and the service top notch. Particular mention to the fancy dress Tinky Winky and Goat!

    We spent two nights at the Granby, we stayed for breakfast and evening meals. The food and service was exceptional. It is a family run bar/restaurant, they made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be returning.
