How Do You Like Your Eggs in the Morning?
At The Belfry Whitby, we believe breakfast isn’t just the first meal of the day — it’s part of what makes a stay with us truly special. Whether you’re setting off to explore Whitby Abbey, the harbour, or the beaches, our breakfast gives you the perfect start.
A True Yorkshire Breakfast
Our Full Yorkshire Breakfast is bursting with local flavour and freshly sourced ingredients.
We use bacon and sausages from pigs reared in the Vale of York, plus traditional black pudding for those who enjoy it. Every plate includes grilled tomatoes, fried mushrooms, and baked beans from local supplier Billy Wilson — who also supplies many of the famous fish and chip shops in town.
And then there are the eggs. Poached, fried, or scrambled — how do you like yours? If you prefer boiled, we’re happy to oblige. Every dish is cooked to order with care by Karen or Sophie, ensuring your breakfast is hot, fresh, and perfectly prepared.
Freshly Made, Never Rushed
Breakfast at The Belfry Whitby is a relaxed experience. There’s no need to pre-order or rush down early — simply come when you’re ready. We are always on hand to top up your toast, coffee, or tea, making sure you start the day exactly how you like it.
Prefer something lighter? We offer fruit, yoghurt, and a choice of cereals, along with a daily special that changes throughout the week — from fluffy pancakes to smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, or a classic eggs Benedict. Whatever you choose, it’s all freshly prepared and full of flavour. We cater for all dietary requirements offering a delicious vegetarian or vegan option. If you have a particular request, please make us aware before you arrive and we will endeavour to fulfil your requirements.
The Secret to the Perfect Poached Egg
We’re rather proud of our poached eggs, which have become a bit of a Belfry signature. The current record? Eighteen served in one morning! Sophie’s secret method involves a gentle pour from her favourite ramekin into softly bubbling vinegared water — and perhaps a little patience and luck.
Start Your Whitby Day the Right Way at The Belfry
Many of our competition have moved to room only or offering optional breakfasts. It’s no secret that Whitby weather can get a bit wild from time to time, so why risk having to wait for cafes to open at 10am then battle the sideways rain when you can wake up to a freshly cooked breakfast on site!
At The Belfry, we love welcoming guests to our Whitby bed and breakfast and ensuring every day begins with something delicious. From hearty Yorkshire breakfasts to lighter, continental options, our menu is designed to make you feel at home — and ready to explore everything Whitby has to offer.
And if you’re especially lucky, your breakfast might be served by one of our little helpers in training — the next generation of Belfry hospitality!
So, when you book your stay, don’t just settle for a bed — enjoy the breakfast too.
