Breakfast in Staithes

A guest at Dunsley holiday cottage asked me recently if there was anywhere in Staithes that served breakfast: it would save shopping for supplies on their first morning of a three-day weekend break. I offered the two cafes - Seadrift on the harbour and The Tea Shop on Bank Top, both opening at 10am, but it was more like coffee and cakes, than real breakfast. Then, a couple of weeks ago, fantastic news! The Endeavour Restaurant was taken over by Vicky from the fabulous Whitby Seafish smokehouse (behind the council car park on Bank Top), renamed The Endeavour Kitchen, and now open for breakfast! Hurray! Full English, bacon butties, kippers and more (including lunches, afternoon tea, supper) are now available from 8am to 8pm Wednesday to Saturday. On Sunday, it's breakfast 8am-12 noon, then Sunday lunch - roast beef with all the trimmings - until 4pm. We peeped in the window today and saw lots of happy people enjoying lunch; we can't wait to go ourselves: first visit will definitely be breakfast. More at www.endeavourkitchen.com; it's on the High Street opposite the Royal George, about 30 seconds walk from Dunsley.
