The Plough Inn, Whitby

A Sams pub with four distinct areas, it can be accessed from Baxtergate or New Quay Road. From Baxtergate it’s a bland bar with the counter at the far end, the middle section has the other side of the servery, both having Old Brewery Bitter on hand pump plus the usual collection of small boxes.  The room nearest the quayside and railway station is a plain sitting room with banquette seating at wooden tables, the white walls are decorated with old cartoons. An adjacent room houses a pool table. Below average Old Brewery Bitter.

Found on arrival in Whitby before we had fully gained our bearings. A pub garden at front, with some spaces on a Friday. Can't be bad. Its a Sam Smiths - so at least sitting outside, no one could tell us off for using our phones to check in an Original Bitter. Staff very friendly. Kept erratic hours - passed by on the Saturday at 9:30pm and it was closed. 5pm on the Sunday evening and it was closed. No idea if this is normal or just because of Covid half life.

Old fashioned Sam Smiths pub selling the full range of their beers. I went for the bitter and that was fine.
