There is more seating upstairs. The three changing cask beers have an emphasis on local provenance including Oaks, Coach House and Brimstage. There are also two ciders and nine keg craft beers. An interesting range of bottled beers includes offerings from Oaks and various local breweries. The pub name reflects a piece of local history. This area of Whitby was called Bondies Hill which originated from the nickname of a former landlord of the long-demolished Sportsman's Arms.
