Vegan and Vegetarian Eateries in Whitby.
Being a traditional seaside town, Whitby has a host of fish and seafood restaurants and take-aways, so it’s often hard to find somewhere to eat if you are Vegan, Vegetarian or even Gluten intolerant. Rather than you aimlessly wandering around town looking at menu boards to find vegan or vegetarian options we have put together some eateries which we know serve some tasty and hearty options for you.
Cranberry Swamp.

A Retro style cafe offering several vegan and vegetarian options, plant milks for hot drinks, vegan cake and juices. Some breakfasts may be made vegan. Serving Mexican tapas (including a few vegan ones) from 6pm on Friday and Saturday.

The Blitz.
97-98 Church Street, Whitby. YO22 4DE
The Blitz is a bar and Tapas restaurant, serving food from 4.30pm in the week and 12.30pm on Saturdays. They serve some of the famous Spanish dishes and a number of other dishes from around the world. They also have a number of Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free dishes available. It’s worth pointing out that the portions are not the small Spanish traditional tapas bites, but larger, where you can either share a few dishes with a drink or go for a full Tapas experience with 2 or 3 dishes each. It’s also recommended that you book in advance as it’s very popular!
