The undisclosed deal will grow the group’s brand in Yorkshire, where the north of England pubco already owns The King’s Head Inn at Newton-under-Roseberry and The Black Swan at Helmsley.

The Inn Collection Group’s managing director Sean Donkin said: “Whitby has been in our sights for a number of years and we’ve been excited by the opportunities generated by this superb site and its operators for a considerable time.

“2020 was mapped as a year of strategic growth for the group and despite the continued hurdles of Covid-19, we are on track to expand the estate as we grow our presence across the north of England in quality locations with potential to deliver high-yielding, sustainable results.”
