The menu changes daily depending on catches sourced from local fishing boats in Staithes, and from the larger quays in Whitby and Scarborough . We try to offer the familiar and the less familiar and encourage people to try something new.

Vegetables are often sourced from local farms, herbs from our own rooftop garden or local allotments. Milk and cream come from a local dairy; cheeses are sourced from Yorkshire’s rich range of producers and small producers in other regions; honey comes from a Staithes’ beekeeper. Breads are all baked daily on the premises.

Unlike many other restaurant owners, we prepare all the food ourselves and cook throughout the evening.

There is no one ‘style’ of cooking, no one source of inspiration. Where the raw materials are outstanding , we favour simplicity, and clear, defined flavours on the plate. Fish may come with an accompanying sauce but is not soused in it – it is left to the diner to mix or match flavours or to savour each individually.

The same approach extends to the vegetables which accompany our main courses and are included in the price.

The Endeavour is a Non-Smoking establishment, and smoking is not permitted anywhere in the building.
