The Whately Inn

An excellent old inn located in Whately with spectacular views, a fire pit outside, in and outside seating, and a full bar. It has deep roots in the local history. The decor reflects this well with the tin ceilings and old booths, while being very uncomfortable but also very historic, still in use. The photos on display show the age and changes to this inn. The Whately Inn serves a fresh vegetable dish to start, and dinner includes an appetizer, fresh salad, bread, potato choices, entree, and a vegetable to share, as well as dessert. The amount of food served is staggering, and I have yet to meet a dining partner up to the challenge of finishing the meal they offer. I was quite full before my entree even arrived. The fresh vegetables are local and wonderful. The drinks pricy and the servings are generous. Our pate appetizer was delicious but did not include enough crackers for the amount of pate. The garlic bread was divine. My entree of baked stuffed shrimp was amazing, and so were the lamb chops. The service was scarce after our entree arrived. Dessert was packaged to go as we had to wait a good deal of time before our server appeared to serve it, and we were more than ready to go. If you like local history, you should check it out.

Excellent food and atmosphere. Never had a bad meal here. Steak was cooked perfectly, and the au gratin potatoes were outstanding! We like that the appetizer and dessert are included in the meal price 😋 Oh, and the staff is professional and attentive.

Dinner for our anniversary. Staff was wonderful and attentive. Good was outstanding. Don't let prices fool you. It is worth every penny!
