Cross Butts Stable Restaurant with Courtyard Rooms

Sometimes great good emerges from even the most dire situations and farmer John Morley put this fact to use when he decided to diversify into the hotel business, following the catastrophic foot and mouth disease that claimed a huge number of his cows. Cross Butts, Whitby is a warm and welcoming place with simple but tastefully furnished rooms, while their restaurant offers a multitude of dining choices, prepared from seasonal, locally sourced and fresh ingredients.

The wooden floors, oak beams and cosy fireplaces gently build up the serene ambience of a country farmhouse, with windows looking out over the Esk Valley providing magnificent views. Enjoy hearty and filling dishes such as homemade rich steak and ale pie, or the beer battered cod with mushy peas, chips and tartare sauce. The carvery menu offers a selection of roast meats with accompaniments, and their bar is stocked with a good range of beers, wines and ales.
