The Midlands couple retired early from their educational careers and moved to Whitby four years ago.
Fitzpatrick said:
“People always say we are comfortable, welcome and calm, which is really important to us.
“When we started our business, we said that people wanted the cafe to remain more comfortable than when they came in.”
The couple said they were very keen to attend Restaurant Week.
Fitzpatrick added:
“It's not just fish or chips, there are also plenty of independent cafes like us.
“We are on the streets outside the port, so you have to make a little effort to get to us.
“We often get people who say, 'We've been in Whitby for 20 years and didn't know that this street existed.' ”
“So the realization that we can get for both our business and for others is great. It's community-driven.”
Councillor Mark Crane, an executive member of North Yorkshire Council's Open To Business, said:
Visiting North Yorkshire is a local radio station to promote Restaurant Week, this is the coast.
