Family-run bar in Whitby seeks outdoor seating licence

A family-run bar and kitchen in the heart of Whitby has applied for a new licence.

G’s Bar & Kitchen, which opened its venue in Church Street in June, is seeking an outdoor seating licence from North Yorkshire Council.

​The business offers a variety of light bites and drinks and wants to place tables and chairs outside the premises at 97-98 Church Street.

​If Kristy Renshaw’s application is approved by the authority, the establishment could place four tables and eight chairs on the historic Whitby street.

​Since opening this summer, G’s Bar & Kitchen has received positive reviews from customers and has a rating of 4.5 out of five on the feedback website TripAdvisor.

​A customer who visited in September and gave the business a five-star rating, said: “We visited G’s for dinner twice in our short stay in Whitby and were really pleased on both occasions.

​”The food was scrumptious, the staff were very kind, welcoming, and professional.

“The atmosphere and ‘vibe’ were top end and catered for all age groups – even us ‘oldies’.

"Well done for creating a really great place to have a very tasty and fun dinner.”

The business recently announced it had created a new autumnal menu in which staff have “created a few Monday to Friday offers”.

​​The deadline for members of the public to comment on the licensing plan is Friday, October 2.

​Anyone wishing to make representations regarding the application should give notice in writing to: North Yorkshire Council, Licensing Services, Town Hall, St Nicholas Street, Scarborough, YO11 2HG.

​​The authority can also be contacted by email at [email protected].
