About

Crocodile is a tiny, quirky gem in Whitby that people absolutely adore. The owner, Nick, is the heart of the place, providing a warm, personal experience that feels like dining with a friend. The tapas is consistently described as delicious and fresh. Because it is so small, booking ahead is a must. It is a bit pricey, but most agree it is worth every penny for the unique atmosphere and quality food.
