LOVE THIS MAN, ❤

Nice to see a proper Yorkshire range that hasn't been ripped out and sold at a reclamation yard! Keep pub interiors original, part of our heritage, once they are gone, they are gone for good. Well done for getting your hands on the last pair, ooh matron! Salivating now, great upoad!

I used to HATE the smell of kippers, but now I love it. It reminds me of Whitby, and it genuinely doesn’t smell unpleasant anymore 😅

Evening Simon. Thanks for the vid. I must pop into The White Horse & Griffin next time I'm in Whitby, it looks a really nice place for a meal. Must stock up on the Fortunes kippers too. Take care now.

There's quite an amazing story about how that building became a restaurant. It was never meant to be, until the Police kept intervening.

@@simplywhitby5356 I lived in the Yard when The White Horse in its current format first opened. Stuart Perkins bought it and wanted to run it as a pub. But the licensing authority wouldn't give him a license. So he opened as a Pub anyway. Then every Saturday night for the next few months, the Police raided them and shut them down. Then Stewart worked out if he served food he could serve Alcohol. So he started selling a bowl of chips with a pint. Then as time past, he experimented with food and various chefs (I think Dave Mathews and Eddie Hall were two of the early ones, and went on to be awesome chefs sought after locally), The place ended up getting a name for awesome food and was packed every night, with locals. Next came the reviews, The Independent, Times, Guardian, they all came and said it was one of the best food restaurants around. Prices doubled, locals couldn't afford to eat there, but wealthy tourists took up the empty seats. It went from Strength to strength, and then Stewart pretty much had enough and moved on. But he has created a few other good business around town too. Last seen supping a pint in Sandsend Hart Inn.

Was going to buy some of the kippers when we visited recently but it was quite warm and wasn’t sure how they’d go on the six hour journey home! So I enjoyed sharing your breakfast!

I like a poached egg on top of my grilled kipper with brown bread as well.

Those Kippers look delicious!

.love your suff

Another cracking Vid Simon! Deffo looking now for hotels in and around Whitby for a short stay! Thanks. Like the comment - Eat the bones, my digestive system has had a hammering over the years 🙂 I just love that you speak similar to I do, and just 'Tell It As It Is' Finally, I'm pleased that I finally got to post something that didn't get pulled down instantly by the Bott and you sorted things. Just trying to help you and others. Chin Chin

'He died doing what he loved best'. There Simon, that's your headstone sorted if a kipper bone gets you 😛

Kippers is my favourite even thou we just get it from cans in Norway, i would any time eat the whole kippers as you have in the UK.

Wow Simon i have not had kippers for years, but i will be tomorrow great clip my friend.🐟🐠🐟🐠

Kippers are disgusting 🤮

You cant beat a Fortunes kipper. Mind you I prefer the kipper fillets because of the less bones. Ive had smoked salmon and bacon from there too. Absolutely gorgeous. Try wrapping them in tin foil with a good knob of butter and do them in the air fryer then the house doesn't stink for hours afterwards. You can also do them in a jug with boiling water but I prefer the fryer.

Great Thumbnail as always

Yummy ! ..I just had 10 pairs of Craster kippers from Robson's delivered..my Sunday morning treat ..😋.

Nicely said at the end of vid

You let to put your ear muffs on Simon keep laughing great stuff ❤😊😊 lol

Hey Simon Fortune kippers for breakfast & why not ? I ❤ Fortune kippers , They're done proper 👌. Not had them at the White horse & Griffin But Me & Mrs have been in there for a cheeky drink or two & we have had a nosey in the restaurant . I remember it's behind the small bar. ❤ly staff in there. It's a fantastic historical place, I was talking to one of the girls behind the bar. Hey, Hey Simon She mentioned the place his haunted 👻 Broken drinking glasses on the floor when the staff arrived for work & one of the staff mentioned she saw a dark shadow Spooky stuff 👻👻👻 I'm glad you & the ❤ly Mrs M are both enjoying a full & joyful retirement. You both deserve it . Cheers 👍 & Chin,Chin my friend 🫡

Glad they serve the kippers there as no longer on the menu at Rusty Shears. Whitby institution. Barnards butchers at Fylingthorpe had their bacon smoked at Fortunes.Brave man I can't handle the bones😮 Cracking Simon.

They are on the menu at Sanders Yard also.

If they’ve got Fortunes kippers that will do for me. I always fillet kippers by turning them over and pull the tail up while I hold the fish down with the fork.

Like a bear with a salmon!

Don't try to fix what's not broke..your lovely Mrs M has life sorted..a little of both worlds..😉😁👍x p.s..ever tried Craster kippers..😋

My favourites are arbroath smokies mmmmmmmmmmm

will you please review the Rusty Shears.

Top Nosh, love their Kippers but they stink the house out 😂. By the way Simon, I went into Barkat Catering today and mentioned we had seen them in your video. They remembered you straight away and have had a few people coming in because of your video. Fingers crossed if you go in again you might get a freebie. Definitely a great place and good value. Only a few weeks and I’m back in Whitby, can’t wait.

Nice.

Looks good.. but shame about the noisy sound in the background… music i think they call it…silence offends a lot of people

GOOD DAY SIR,

Love kippers but the wife is not keen on the smell in the house.

Shout out for the Canadian hat donor Simon please !

I do enjoy a kipper... bit of mustard though... or in a kedgeree.

Used to get Manx kippers back in the Day, Liked 'em but its the bones and the fact they repeat on you that puts me off these days lol no prices on the menu though?

£8 for a kipper, Craster kippers are better though.

Wow 8 quid for a single kipper is very expensive.

Mr Whitby....I did a ghost walk in Whitby and was told that the Horse and Griffin was haunted by a previous landlady who was know for her flowery perfume. And she appears not as an apparition but as a flowery perfume smell when people are alone in the bar.

Well ok i will give Mrs M a day of if she is mingeling whith the grand children.

ANY VIDEO WITHOUT MRS M IS A THUMBS DOWN FROM ME AND THE WIFE 😜😝
