Fox and Hounds in Scarborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fabulous pub in an even better location. Food was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a brilliant place with some fantastic views over the Moors!

Stayed here for a nearby wedding, thinking it was going to be a 4-star stay as advertised on Google. The woman working at the bar didn’t greet us, and there was no offer to help with our luggage and no info about our stay provided at all. Rooms are basic but the service was very unfriendly. There was no cleaning of the room during our two-night stay, and the woman working at the front didn’t offer us complimentary waters upon checking out (they didn’t replace anything in the room, and I had to pay for a water bottle) the breakfast was also not hot and very basic. Wouldn’t recommend, especially for £150/night.

I was walking in the area with my dog and we had a good overnight stay. The evening meal was a bit average but overall it was a good stay.

Had evening meal here - excellent quality food - service was friendly and efficient from Julie

Great place to stay and eat. We stayed for 2 nights excellent food in the restaurant and excellent breakfast. The room was comfy had all you needed and tea coffee and water. Well situated beer garden and benches out front. ***** would definitely recommend...

We’ve just had a lovely stay at the Fox & Hounds. The staff couldn’t do enough for you and made us and our dog really welcome. The rooms were lovely and the pub is in a superb location. The pub menu was good with specialties served each day. We caught the train into Whitby from Danby. A really pleasant 40 minute journey at a reasonable price. Lots of walks in and around the village. A really beautiful spot! Will definitely visit again!

Nice place. Room 10 is a long walk from the bar and the bar is the only place where they display the WiFi password. Would be good if they left a note of the WiFi password in the rooms.

Spent one night here with dinner for our silver wedding anniversary. In a very idyllic village in the moors. Staff friendly, helpful and efficient and you feel valued as a resident. Room was a touch dated yet clean, well maintained and peaceful overlooking the fields at the back of the property. Dogs are welcome. Fabulous home cooked food and generous portions. The steak pie was fabulous and very filling. Great place to stay, unwind and escape. Highly recommended.

Fantastic pub, lovely food and great selection of beers. Simply excellent 👍

Nice stay lovely views from bedroom. Bedroom very small nothing like picture on their website. Could do with a shelf or shelves in the bathroom as there was nowhere to put anything apart from on the floor. Food was lovely. The bar attendant was very helpful and pleasant and so was our waitress who was very attentive. I wish the same could be said about the lady behind the bar who greated us !

I had the vegan mushroom stroganoff, it was delicious, and such a nice change to be able to get something that wasn’t fake meat. I also thought the price was very reasonable. Great place, not been here for years, but would definitely come again

First time here and will definitely be back, visited for Mothers day dinner, had the roast beef which was delicious and very reasonably priced. Service was great and staff were Freindly and attentive but not over the top. Dessert was also very good

Very friendly and welcoming. Food was amazing. Would recommend.

I stayed at the Fox and Hounds as I was attending a wedding at Danby Castle (a great place to stay if you’re at a wedding there, literally a 2 minute drive!). Staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was dated but clean and we slept well both nights. Not luxury but adequate for what we needed.

Very helpful staff, everything as requested for a sad gathering of family and friends after a funeral. Friendly but respectful. The quiches were particularly delicious. I was there the week before while we sorted out my relative's home. The meal was delicious and very welcome. Recommend for any occasion, large or small

We had a 2night stay at the fox and hound. As we were attending a wedding at danby castle. The rooms are lovely and clean, food was amazing also the staff were very friendly, especially Maise who worked her socks of. We will definitely be staying again.

We stayed for one night after a visit to Whitby, you expect to find a fault somewhere with most places, but I could not with the F&Hs. Situated in beautiful landscape, the beer garden is fully enclosed so we could let our dog enjoy the lack of lead, so we could relax and take in the spectacular view. The room has everything you need, shower, bath, full tea and coffee facilities, Netflix, Amazon on TV and comfortable beds. The staff are so welcoming and helpful, the breakfast hits all the rights spots and the black pudding is on another level. Can’t fault ans I did try. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Busy pub/hotel with a main bar and restaurant area (dogs allowed in the bar area and meals served here also). A good selection of ales (Landlord, Theakston’s Best and Wainwrights) and a sensible menu with plenty to choose from that’s local. Does a steak and ale pie count as a pie if there’s only a top crust of puff pastry? I’m inclined to say not, but it was very tasty and the meat was good quality and plentiful. A mushroom stroganoff was also very good, so overall - autumnal hearty meals in a cosy but busy bar, with an open fire… what’s not to like?

Last minute call in in the way home from Whitby in a Sunday evening and we’re lucky enough to get a free table. Great to see people staying and eating here - it was nice and busy. The food and et is ste great - plenty of choice fir all tastes and excellent value !! Had steak and ale pie, apple pie and ice cream and a good pint of Theakstons. The staff who work here are lovely - really friendly and helpful. Fantastic view over the dale too 👍👍👍

Called into the establishment unannounced. Very busy in restaurant, but space in bar section. Ordered three meals including Red Snapper with chips and vegetables. Had to wait for 30 mins for food to arrive but the wait was worthwhile. Excellent food, pleasing service and very tasty.

Just returned from a wedding in Danby castle and what a lovely accommodating experience we had a this lovely pub was lovely from the time of arrival the staff couldn’t do enough for u, the rooms are lovely clean stocked up with refreshments lovely stay thank you all for a lovely experience we had rooms 9 and 10 👌👍🥰

We stayed last night splitting our journey from Edinburgh to Norfolk, we wanted a place to put our head down which was dog friendly and served food. The Fox and Hound exceeded our expectations with a small but functional room, friendly staff, excellent good quality pub food, a good nights sleep and an excellent breakfast. With nice walks and a beautiful view what more could we have asked for. With Whitby nearby we will be back. Thank you for our visit.

Verry kind and easy going hotel, bar and restaurant. Can sit in, and outdoors for drinks and eat. With dog in restaurant you've been giving a spot in an other area( other room) that was fine by us. Plenty to choose from breakfast also vegan and glutfree. Rooms are clean not verry big with a watercooker koffie/tea/ an even dairy free milk. Pitty we have had a group of noisy guests in the middle of the night.

We stayed 2 nights in a camping pod . King size bed was very comfortable and the pod had electric heating and was warm and comfortable. We had evening meals in the pub itself which was a lovely place. The home made pie was delicious as were the chips and veg and at£16 it was not over expensive. There was a good choice of drinks and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Our dog was also made welcome . The shower/toilets were very clean and roomy ( 4 separate ones). Plenty as there are only 4 pods . The views are wonderful

Stayed here 2 nights fantastic place great food my husband wanted to stay in a proper old style pub well he certainly got his wish the photos on the website were a true representation of the pub and the room was clean and comfortable if staying in the area we would definitely book again

Stayed here twice last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great b and b .We also had our evening meals there which were excellent. Breakfast really good as well. Staff are fantastic and so friendly. Rooms very comfortable. We are already planning our next stay.

We stopped for two nights. We ate in the pub on both nights. We had a fantastic stay, this is a great, cosy, traditional pub in the beauty of Yorkshire. The room had everything you need, it wasn't the most modern room but no complaints. I like the little touches like a full-sized mug and the Decaff coffee bags. The first night the heating was on a little too much, it's on a thermostat and was a little warm but it wasn't too bad, as it was so cold outside. Some fellow guests we met one evening said their bed was rock hard, but, we had no complaints, my wife said it was a little lumpy on her side but I really didn't have any issues. The pub has plenty of parking around the back; where you can see they have some Glamping Pods. It is currently undergoing renovations in the room between the main bar and the dining area, which, had recently been painted and looked very nice. Allround, the pub was in a great location to be far enough out of Whitby but close enough, it only took 25mins to drive in. There is nothing around the pub, we walked to Danby the first evening but that hasn't not much in it either. However, it is perfect for walkers and those with dogs, we use it just as a base so we didn't mind and it was nice to be out in the countryside. We ate twice, both nights. Friday was busier in the pub, we did book but no need, as they had plenty of tables. We sat in the background for dinner and breakfast on both days. On the first night, I ordered off the specials board; to start I had the Bacon and Spring Onion Quiche which was lovely and for mains the venison casserole. My wife ordered the hummus bruschetta and steak and ale pie. On the second night, we just got main, both of us ordered off the specials board again, my wife got the sun-blushed tomato and brie past and I got a fantastic chicken rogan josh curry, served with a homemade popadom, naan and mango chutney, can't fault it. We really, really enjoyed the food.

Have been going to the Fox and Hounds ainthorpe for quite a few years and have never ever been disappointed, from the moment our party arrive the staff are brilliant very warm and welcoming

Me and my boyfriend visited this pub whilst away for Christmas… friendly staff which made you feel welcome and was interested in our stay… Food was amazing.. Thankyou

This is a good pub which is well tucked away. It has a lovely open fire and also a room where you can take children. I have been for excellent lunches as there is a good menu

Great food in a traditional and cosy pub. A very warm welcome from all the staff who couldn't be any more helpful. Will look forward to coming back.

Vicky and the team here are excellent- I will recommend this place to everyone 👍 Great day great food great drinks great staff 👍

Really good Sunday lunch, just exactly what the family needed. Friendly service, speedy delivery of food and good portions. Will definitely be back if we’re in the area again.

New items added to menu board regulalrly, great to see and taste. Nice fish dishes and desserts, all cooked fresh.

Stayed here en-route to Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay - great location. I think it has been redecorated recently so looked very clean. It is a lovely place, but.......our room was tiny (think it was room 5) and therefore I think it was overpriced. The en-suite was microscopic! With a dog, it was a bit busy in the room but it was only one night.We ate here in the evening and the food was excellent as was the breakfast. Had it been a bit cheaper I would have given it 5*s

We were staying nearby and hence this was an obvious choice. However, it would be worth travelling for as the welcome, food and drink offer and the general feel of the place were all excellent. We visited twice during our stay, observing some change in the (blackboard) menu as new items were added to replace those exhausted. On both occasions though a good range of options were available; steak pie, chicken balti, salmon stir-fry and much more.This is a spacious pub/restaurant allowing tables to be well separated without the need for plastic screens and the like. COVID guidelines seemed to be well-observed leading to a feeling of safety. In fact the whole place seemed to be well managed.There are also tables outside which maximise the value of the views across Esk Dale.

Food was well presented and tasted very nice ! Would recommend however prices a bit high for pub food !

After a 2 hour slog over the Moors in desperate need of a drink and a sandwich . Timothy Taylor’s Landlord the saviour, the sandwiches were delicious full of ham and prawns . Nirvana !

Stayed here for lunch whilst staying at a nearby pub. Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Loved the cauliflower and Stilton soup and the home made scotch egg was to die for. My Husband had Whitby Scampi and he thoroughly enjoyed this

I’d like to say thanks Colin and Vicky for hosting a terrific Dark Skies weekend. The pub is warm and welcoming, good food and very comfortable rooms. The event was hosted in the pub on Friday with stargazing in the garden and then at a star party at the Moors Visitor centre just down the road. Everything worked well and even the weather came good on Saturday for an excellent session of stargazing. The pitch of the event is really for beginners and this suited us perfectly. Really good speaker with excellent presentation material. Would throughly recommend the weekend and even for a ‘normal’ weekend away the Fox and Hounds is a great base. Hope to see you again soon.

We came to this pub as we were staying in the area. Plenty of room in the restaurant even though it was a Friday evening.Food was delicious and service was good! Very friendly staff and locals. Definitely recommend this pub if you are in the area!

Our room had a lovely view, it was modern and clean. This is a typical local pub, friendly service, open fire. Decent pub food. The breakfasts were great. Nice place to stay!

Quirky 16th Century Inn with friendly atmosphere. Delicious lamb shank and sticky toffee pudding eaten in dog friendly bar area. Rooms are clean and cosy warm. Beautiful drive over moors to Hutton le Hole.

Excellent stay very tranquil .just what we needed .even our doggy enjoyed .will definitely be visiting again .food awesome and service .room was comfy and warm .

We visited for an evening meal whilst on holiday. One of us had chicken bhuna and the other had steak 7 ale pie. The curry was exceptionally good and plenty hot enough (spice wise and temperature). The pie was ok but have had better (the pastry was thicker than I like and would have preferred more meat in the filling). Having said that we would definitely visit again based on the surroundings, the friendly staff and the extremely good curry. Thank you for a good meal out

Nice relaxed lunch - friendly staff - accommodating and delicious food - made a smaller portion for my son with no hassle - Would recommend.

I stayed for 4 nights with a group of friends. Rooms smallish but good value and clean. Food simple hearty pub grub. Decent beer (Landlord, Theakstons, Wainwrights). Staff friendly and happy to be flexible. Our breakfast was served in the games room one day so we could watch the Wales v Australia rugby and our final bill split 6 ways efficiently and with no fuss.I would stay again without hesitation and would recommend it particularly for a group walking holiday.

Stayed for two nights recently in room 2 - the room with a view. The main window overlooking the moors, the side one overlooking the pub garden and back fields with long horned cattle.The room, bathroom and bedding were spotlessly clean and fresh, the bed and pillows very comfortable. The room was very quite at night no problem sleeping at all. Tea coffee and biscuits, shower gel and shampoos all supplied in the room. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order and delicious. The landlord, landlady and staff are lovely - thank you we really enjoyed our stay. If we come back this way I know where we will be staying.

We stumbled across this pub whilst searching for somewhere to eat on the way back from the coast.

We stayed 2 nights and had a good breakfast each morning and a super dinner each evening. Plenty of choice for food and drinks, friendly service, relaxed village pub atmosphere. Worth travelling a few miles for.

My friends were getting married on the Saturday so chose this venue for a get together on the Friday night. Lovely beer garden and gorgeous hot buffet served. The landlady even gave us a lift back to our cottage as the local taxi man was on holiday. She made a couple of journeys to make sure we got back... such a lovely landlady and a fantastic country pub with great views of North Yorkshire. Well worth a visit!

Lovely setting with views from our bay window seats across the dale. Friendly efficient service. Good value pub food.

Really very disappointed in the meal we had at fox and hound in Danby. 3 of us ordered the fish and chips and very poor. Chips over cooked and the fish was suppose to be cod but to be honest it really didn't look or taste like it. Mine tasted funny and was grey and my mother in laws was full of little bones. A waste of money and time I'm afraid

My husband and I have eaten in this pub before when we have visited family who live in a nearby village so we knew the food was excellent. This time we booked an overnight stay as we were going to a family birthday party. The room was lovely, comfortable and clean with beautiful views out of the front window. We decided to have a light lunch, the most wonderful fish finger samwich we have ever tasted, it sounds daft raving about a samwich but try it, you wont be sorry. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful as expected. The staff were all so very friendly and kind.

A chance encounter to stop for dinner. Best teriyaki salmon I’ve ever had! Partner had a very good curry. Highly recommend if you come across this pub!!

Nestled way up on the North Yorkshire Moors

Lovely food in a great location,very friendly staff efficient and welcoming,the food was well presented and tasty,will be back.

Lovely old fashioned pub/B&B.; Very cosy. Good selection of drinks and a quality varied food menu. Would visit again, and highly recommend. Thanks.

We had dinner here as we were staying overnight. Balanced menu, but not too many dishes that would suggest pre-prepared food. Daily specials board available.

Great home made food, good service and reasonable price. We went for a evening meal whilst staying locally; had steak and ale pie and beef, mushroom & merlot pie from the specials, both were lovely and def home made. Shared sticky toffee pudding for dessert, would recommend as it was delicious!

Walked into this warm and cosy pub early on New Years Eve

The Fox and Hounds is situated on a hill above the pretty hamlet of Ainthorpe; it combines historic buildings with subtle modern decor for a lovely dining atmosphere. My wife and I were able to get a table without booking on a quiet Monday evening and both opted for the Whitby scampi and chips. The portions were generous, the food was cooked to perfection and was incredibly tasty! We were particularly impressed by the excellent homemade chips and the speed and politeness of service. We would definitely dine here again; highly recommended!

A deservedly popular pub in a beautiful situation. Lovely, welcoming staff, great atmosphere and good food. What more could you want.

Went with wife and daughter on a beautiful September evening. Car park already full (6.05pm!) but was able to park opposite pub on a stretch of green ,part of which was used for a quoits game. Nice rustic interior with plenty of room in bar , useful as we had a dog. The food was pretty good too, we had mains of steak pies (substantial tasty and lean meat) washed down with some excellent Wainwright bitter. Friendly and pleasant bar staff and a convivial crowd of locals. Proper English country pub in a delightful rural village with some highly impressive views around.

Excellent Sunday lunch, friendly and attentive staff, really good menu including a number of vegetarian options too. Highly recommended!

fantastic food & beer. great staff - very professional yet very friendly. we were made to feel very welcome. food was fab - both veggie & non veggie.

Spent the May bank holiday at the Folk Festival in Botton Village. Glad we found this pub as the menu was interesting, food very well cooked and nicely presented. Generous portions, nothing to fault. Loved it.

On our second visit to the valley at Danby we had to return to this well run inn, this time for Sunday Lunch. A good priced choice of either Beef or Pork Roast, followed by proper Treacle Sponge with Custard, and a few local brews. Staggered back to our accommodation after for a sleep

Oh my - I usually struggle with eating a Sunday lunch out I always think I can make better myself but here was nearest the mark ever! Best I’ve had. Beef that was proper beef, home made gravy, mashed not puréed potatoes, roast potatoes that were crispy, al dente veg, light crispy fresh Yorkshire pudding. It was a busy sunny bank holiday and quality wasn’t compromised - we were there evening time too. Great views and beer garden. Gem of a find.

Friendly welcoming staff. Good beer and nice beer garden. Very peaceful to sit out in the sun and have a drink after a day out. Good selection of food which we will need to sample another time.

We had sausages in a giant yorkshire pudding. Again. And probably not for the last time.Yum yum yum.

Dogs wandering around the bar area, snarling and growling at each other. Avoid Room 7, bathroom is damp and musty, no natural lighting, smelly carpet. Room is very small, wardrobe is damp. Food was nice. Staff not so nice, expect for young chap who served us dinner on the 2nd night. Staff more interested in chatting with locals and ignored the tourists. Had to ask for menus, just ignored us and eventually after 20 minutes or so I went to the bar and ordered our food.

This is a pleasant pub, with a separate restaurant section serving decent food. No complaints to make, except that my wife's pork fillet portion was pretty tiny; perhaps we wouldn't have noticed, but next to my large lamb portion it looked a bit comical! We ordered basically the same things the following evening in another local pub and the difference in portion size - for the same price - was huge. It has an open fire, which is excellent.

A nice pub just 2 miles from Danby in Ainthorpe. The service and atmosphere were great, and the food came quick and when it arrived it was superb. Would go again.

My wife and I and our son eat here one night, as we were staying in a nearby B&B.; A pleasant local atmosphere with an interesting interior. The food menu offered a good choice of meals; between us we ordered the fish cakes and pies, which were very good. There was also a fine selection of beers. The service was friendly. Overall, I would recommend this pub for a good meal in a friendly atmosphere.
