Fox and Hounds in Scarborough

Great little Yorkshire country pub I loved it the food was outstanding I love the warm feel by the fire I will definitely visit again

Lovely run pub in staithes, great atmosphere and a proper old school pub which there aren't many left now a day's. We went there every night with our dog while we stayed in staithes and the barman was great with us coming to see the dog and bring him treats. Thanks for the great hospitality

Well managed, very friendly traditional, authentic pub. Unbelievably cheap drinks (£2-3.50 a pint!) and back to basics good hosting and atmosphere "we don't do wifi, we talk instead" and cracking, well cooked meals with seasonal veg and "proper steak pie", recommend phoning to check timing and availability of food. Had a lovely evening chatting with locals and bar man.

Lovely pint bar man very friendly even came outside to stroke the dogs and give them a couple of biscuits each. Thanks and much appreciated will definitely call in again on our travels.

What a lovely find somehow missed this place before. Just tucked away down a hill this fabulous pub like time has stood still in a nice way. Tons of character and a pleasant gentleman behind the bar think he was the landlord. Could not believe the price of a Guinness so cheap well under a fiver. Got a pint of Guinness and half a lager under a fiver unbelievable thank you landlord

Wonderful tasty food beautifully presented and reasonably priced. A lovely country pub with a very friendly welcoming landlord great to see lovely fires and comfortable settees and chairs to relax in before and after your meal or just popping in for a drink its great.

Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful. Beer was lovely. Landlord great. Food excellent. Cosy. Comfortable. Friendly. Try it.

We rented the cottage next door for a few days, so the Fox and Hounds was very convinent for us, the place is a little gem,snug and warm and a real pleasure just to sit and have a drink. Paul behind the bar was really welcoming and friendly throughout our stay.The bar prices are a lot cheaper then where we live. The food served at the pub cannot be described as Pub grub, the food is traditional home cooked food at its best. We ate twice during our stay and both meals were delicious. One small point you should know however, book early because they only have limited capacity, you may be disappointed if you arrive without booking. If you do call in by chance make sure you ask Paul if there are any tables left, you may get lucky. It so sad that pubs like this are dieing off. Wish we had more pubs like this in Liverpool.

Husband and I went for dinner on last night of our holiday. Good, honest, pub food in a traditional country pub. Wish we had gone a few more times during our stay.

£2 a pint of beer what can I say as specially when it's £6 anywhere else

Wonderful people food and old fashioned pub. Paul and Rene could not do enough or provide better service. Location is lovely too, be prepared for a steep climb up the hill!

I cannot praise this pub highly enough. It's a proper, traditional country pub - very cosy, welcoming (but not falsely fussy), hospitable, delicious food, great prices. It's perfectly hid away in a small village, away from the busy hub of Staithes. If you wish to eat, it's probably best to phone & check as they have limited capacity. Opening hours are also worth checking. But I would recommend this pub to everyone, especially if you like a pub with NO sports screen/loud music, serving traditional pub food (the landlady is the 'chef' & also would pop out/take orders. Her lasagne was the tastiest I've ever eaten!). We ate there 3 nights out of 5 & the next time we're staying in the area, we'll definitely go back. A rare find in today's world of gastro/trendy pubs.

Absolutely wonderful hidden gem ! Lovely friendly atmosphere. Delicious food - really spoilt for choice with the superb menu. Just how a little village pub should be.

We only called for a drink and it was excellent

The best country pub iv ever found 👌

Had a superb meal here. The steak pie was lovely. Everything cooked to perfection. Had a lovely pudding too. The beer is cheaper than anywhere else and well kept. The man who served us made us feel so welcome. We've been going there for years but that's the first meal we've had and we'll definitely be back

A traditional English pub, which had a lounge area with comfy sofas. Main attraction for visitors was the price of the beer - £2-3/pint. The welcome was warm and friendly, and there is the opportunity to sit outside at the front or rear and enjoy the ambience. There appeared to be a vast menu (served 6-8pm) and it was very busy, but we never had the opportunity to eat there.

A gorgeous welcoming country pub, the staff were so friendly and the food was amazing. Drinks are really cheap will be back

Excellent pub and very nice staff. We enjoyed very good food and beverages (ale, beer and cider). This pub is somewhat hidden in a hollow but quaint and peacefull. We had a lovely time.

Fantastic 'old man's' pub! Really off to the beaten track. We only found it by chance on a circular walk from Staithes. Barman was amazing and the price of the beer was really good! £2 for a pint of Theakstons is a fantastic bargain! Would definitely go back as it is only a 10 minute walk from Staithes!

Really great home cooked traditional pub food. Incredible value - had to double check the bill!

Fantastic proper British pub just how they should be. Lovely food and really traditional menu. Steak pie and venison casserole were simply delicious.

Staying locally I’d read reviews and we made a point of calling one evening. We were able to enjoy the company of locals on the rear terrace in lovely early evening sunshine. My OH raved about the wonderfully well kept pint and my own Adnam’s 0.05% bottled ale was good - hopefully next time we visit I’ll be able to sample the real stuff! Next time we’ll book a table too, they were busy serving food. Will definitely visit again.

A real country pub. A menu of home- cooked food combined with great service . Only one person was taking the orders, serving the tables and working the bar but everything came quickly and efficiently.

Food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere and service was brilliant all home made.

Wow, what an interesting, quirky place this is. It’s like the tides of time have been turned back decades when you walk into the Fox and Hounds. It’s how pubs used to be back in the day and it’s wonderful that this establishment, with its coal fire, gleaming brasses and music stuck in the 1950s, has made it into the 21st century. Even the menus are written on blackboards and the only thing that surprised me is that it wasn’t cash only when it came to paying for our meals. A very smart gentleman in his sixties took our orders, manned the bar and waited on our table in a friendly, efficient manner. Indeed my partner and I saw no other staff in our early evening visit as we waited for our meals with Frank Sinatra, Connie Francis and Everley Brothers music playing in the background. The menu is extremely varied and I thoroughly enjoyed my King Prawn Ragu dish and my partner thought the home made steak pie was excellent. The bill was very reasonable and we shall most certainly pay another visit when we’re in the area.

The Fox and Hounds, Dalehouse, is a secret gem that you cannot believe still exists. It exudes charm, comfort and warmth. Let alone the Beer Garden being a major sun trap. The beer is in fine fettle. The menu has the great staples of country food and in addition some unusual ones. Irene. Ward and Paul have created a oasis of serenity in a storm of tv, fones and WiFi era. Once you have been, you will be like us, loathed to share it with others.

Great little gem of a pub, with its roots from previous years. It offers both local and visitors like myself a true pub experience of a lovely pint of ale, at great value prices, in an atmosphere of a true pub. Meaning no inane music blasting out of oversized speakers, no fancy bank of video games nor fruit machines. Better still no oversized TV’s mounted on every available wall, in fact no Tv at all. Brilliant just the sort of place to go in to with or without friends, given the Cozyness of the main bar room you will for sure make conversation with other similar natured persons passing the time in this hidden gem of a pub. We have stayed in the vicinity of the pub a few times now and it seems like our new local every time we return each year. Nothing changes, from the ease and tranquility of the establishment, to the respectful, polite and well mannered staff member called Paul. A true gent……. Back room is full of big lazy sofa’s for those feeling the want a more laid back rest and refreshment. The small but well laid out beer garden to the rear of the pub adjacent to its smallish car park area catches the sun when it’s out, again offering a quiet place to sit and drink in Dalehouses peace and bird songs from the wooded area beyond the carpark. The food offered in the pub, is well priced, presented and enjoyed by those who choose to eatin. Although the pub appears quiet in the bar at times, it’s worth booking a table on evenings to ensure a table, as it proves very popular with visitors and locals. Which is recommendation in itself. We for sure become part time locals for the duration’s of our regular visits to Dalehouses, year on year. Many thanks, Kevin Mulligan, from Leeds.

Top quality food at a very reasonable price. Go find this pub close to Staithes and enjoy a home cooked style meal in a typical countryside pub. We were a group of 6 adults and were all delighted with our meals. The roast dinners were excellent and plenty of food per plate. The puddings were amazing and we all left very full! Beer at £2 a pint also not to be sniffed at. Definitely worth a visit. Check serving times as they are limited to 6pm onwards each week day.

Fabulous menu food all home cooked. You need to book yo ensure you get a table ,as only has small restaurant area. Is you are walking steep walk down and back up.Has a car park.

No dogs allowed!!!! It's called The fox and HOUNDS!!!!!!! Go to the cod and lobster its way better food and you can take your dogs! Can't believe it. Keep up with the times !

Amazing home cooked food in a charming pub. The service was very friendly we loved it so much we went back then next night

Great 🍺 prices, lovely traditional pub

Lovely pub . Nice beer . Top location. I’ll try the food next time 👋

Great host. Excellent menu of traditional pub food. Great value food and beer. Would highly recommend a visit. V traditional and homely pub. Don't miss this little gem of a pub....

Excellent small pub. Very cosy lounge area with living room sofas and a log burner. The proper steak pie was delicious and Theakstons beer is great.

Absolutely brilliant ! The very best food for miles around ! Welcoming cosy atmosphere & excellent service . I would highly recommend The Fox & Hounds !!!

A gorgeous traditional pub. Sofas to die for and a lovely warm fire.

Fantastic pub with friendly welcoming landlord. Delicious home cooked food.

Dropped my American wife off at the front door 10 minutes before the kitchen was supposed to close and went in the back to park. Landlord told my wife the kitchen closed at quarter to eight and she left by the front door. I can in the back door a minute later and asked the same question without an American accent. He politely asked me to wait a minute while he checked with the kitchen as it was close to closing time. Miraculously the kitchen said they would be happy to serve me…….. not sure what happened here but probably best if the English accented people in your party do the talking. I didn’t stay so can’t comment of the food. The interior looked very cozy.

We visited on the first night of our 4 night stay at Staithes Holiday Park and really enjoyed the inviting and cosy atmosphere in the bar, created by a blazing coal fire and a few locals having early evening drinks. We were so comfortable that we decided to eat there and were glad that we did. The venison casserole and steak pie were both delicious, my venison casserole was accompanied with a lovely selection of (5) different vegetables and we were given an extra jug of lovely homemade gravy. The drinks were so reasonably priced that I had to check with the friendly landlord whether they'd charged us for everything! It was well worth the short walk from our accommodation and we intend to return there on Thursday on the last night of our stay.

Great proper old fashioned country pub, excellent beer and home cooked food. Nice relaxing atmosphere with comfortable seating & real fires. Perfect !

Great little pub with a good menu and food was great. Good home cooked food and hosts very friendly. Would definitely recommend having a meal here if your in the area. Pub is small so would recommend you book especially in the tourist season.

Cheap drink and great open fire

Nice old fashioned pub but a bit rigid on their house rules. I was told off for putting wood on the stove that was almost out didn't see the notice and the barman was in the bar but didn't load it but was soon on it when I did telling me off. At 69 yes old I think I'm old enough to load a fire safely.

Had a lovely pint of beer while out walking. Very pleasant and friendly place. The beer was good. A traditional pub. Would recommend

Called in for a pint while walking. Lovely old pub and very friendly service. Enjoyed a decent pint

Me, the wife and our very friendly Labrador went out of our way, walking through several fields in the dark of winter to visit what looked like a cosy countryside inn: we were after a couple of early evening ales. We liked the look of the place and thought we were onto a winner, only to find a large sign on the entrance stating NO DOGS. We found this bizarre for a pub called the fox and HOUNDS which is in such a rural location. The place looks old world and a bit tired so can’t imagine this was anything to do with looking after the carpets or furniture. I can only presume that the owners don’t like dogs. Anyways, that’s as far as my review goes. One star for being completely out of sync with it’s location and surroundings, and for the wasted walk we had trying to give the place some much needed business (it was empty).

A little gem! We loved our visit here, the food was superb and we felt really welcome at this lovely local. When we are next in the area we will definitely return. The steak pie and venison casserole are both recommended. A big thank you from us to everyone at The Fox and Hounds.

Visited three times over weekend and all three times we were treated fantastically by the friendly staff, Paul in particular. The food was spot on, the beer was too( and cheap) and the back room is everything I would want from a country pub in winter, warm fire and comfy settees. Can’t recommend the place high enough and will definitely re visit

Absolutely a little gem off the beaten track with a proper local feel extremely comfortable with real fires and proper home cooked food If you were to twist my arm and ask what was my favourite i would have to say the liver Mmmmmmmmmm

Cosy fire, superb food, great beer, talented bar manager. Fantastic prices. Sunday lunch bloody gorgeous!! Venison was perfect also. Super friendly, recommend in a heartbeat!

Thank you Rene, Ward and Paul for helping to make our holiday a memorable one. Warm and cosy, always a lovely atmosphere, just wish you were closer to home, although we would put weight on with your delicious meals, Can highly recommended the venison casserole, the roast beef dinner and the delicious proper steak pie. Of course puds to finish, so scrumptious.

Came across this pub by accident during a walk. Would highly recommend Sunday lunch

Great little country pub Nothing to much trouble

Excellent food. Felt very welcome. I can see why dogs aren’t allowed in, as there is not a lot of space. Staying next door made from a very short walk home.

Lovely food at very reasonable prices. Open fires, cosy and friendly. Note: dogs not allowed

We were staying in Staithes and stumbled across this pub whilst out for a walk. What an absolute gem of a place. Friendly, welcoming and very accommodating seen as how we had not booked to dine (recommended) We both agreed it was one of the best roast dinners we had had when eating out in a long long time. A comfortable friendly local pub with an open fire. A refreshing change to see no dogs are allowed inside- brilliant for those with fur allergies I’d say. Landlord and staff are chatty, accommodating and do a fabulous job. You’ll be hard pushed to find a better pub than this. Keep up the good work. I would not hesitate to recommend visiting here.

Lovely quirky little inn, very cute and cosy. The hosts were lovely, couldn't do enough for you. We decided to book a table for later that day. The food was fine, although the vegetables were frozen I believe and had been a tad overcooked. Like I said the food was fine but I just didn't feel it warranted the prices charged for it. Would definitely call back for a drink though, gorgeous little place

Went for dinner at this quaint old fashioned pub & had a delightful evening. We were served delicious home made food and were made to feel very welcome by Paul & Josh.

Nice friendly old school place. Doesn't actually open until 4 so don't plan on lunch, but very pleasant experience

Fantastic Sunday roast, so good we went back mid week. Excellent service super value for money. Anne & Brian

No dogs welcome - be aware that no dogs are allowed in this pub (also vote leave stickers on the window) …………. Don’t waste your walk down the hill for this one (no dogs in this day and age!)

Not our first visit to this lovely local pub, and certainly not the last. Although it’s a tucked away local establishment it’s always welcoming, as are any locals enjoying the hospitalities also. Atmospheric and old style pub much missed from bygone days. Serving beers, lagers, etc as very reasonable prices. Also serving good wholesome home made food at again very reasonable prices. We holidayed local in Sept 22, returned again this June 23, already looking forwards to visiting next year too! It has become our local far from home. Paul behind the bar, always welcoming with service and smile makes the visit complete.

Lovely place the food was home cooked the staff & regulars made us very welcome will visit again.

Everything about this place is amazing!!! Its like going back in time. So many interesting things on the walls!

Lovely comfortable friendly local pub. Good choice and very tasty food at a fair price.all four of us really enjoyed all our meals

We stayed in a nearby cottage for a week, and we were fortunate to have this lovely traditional village pub as our 'local'. We rang to book for our first visit, and had steak pie and the lamb meals. Both were very tasty and enjoyable. The locals were all friendly as were the staff behind the bar. Special thanks to Paul, and the owners (sorry, we didn't get your names) A great little pub serving enjoyable meals, and definitely recommended.

We weren't able to get a table here until our last evening in Staithes, and then wished we had eaten here every night. It's a cosy traditional country pub with a warm welcome. We sat in front of the fire in the lounge while we chose our meal: we had the venison casserole which was delicious, as were the puddings. Without doubt the best place to eat around Staithes.

This is a traditional country pub, with a wonderful host and a superb chef! Went one evening enjoyed it so much, we went back the next evening! Thoroughly enjoyed it there as have done on previous visits and will hopefully visit again soon!

Great quality pub grub in a traditional pub atmosphere. Service warm, friendly and attentive. The proper steak pie and the venison casserole were excellent. One of the few local pubs serving food on a Monday evening. Deserves to be busier.

Lovely old country pub warm and welcoming with a real fire.

Just a lovely pub must vist if your in that area

If you want a traditional, authentic REAL pub. Then this is the place. What a find! it's a lovely rewarding walk from Staithes. So cozy sitting round the fire, the best thing of all, no TV blasting no music blaring, just a good conversation could be had, and a great attentive service by Paul the landlord. Thank you and we will be back! 🙂

Best pub in the world. Great beer and staff, real fire. I'm alergic to dogs so great there is still a place I can go, as too small for dogs, I would have to leave. Please don't change anything, we love you as you are.

Brilliant. Just arrived for a week in the area and this gem is 5 minutes walk from our cottage. Just what you want from a proper country pub. Cosy fire, good beer, friendly atmosphere and excellent service and good to find someone who actually knows how to pull a proper pint (which appears to be something of a dying art these days)!

A rare example of a very good country pub which now days is hard to find .. Sumptuous home cooked food,of exceptional value, prepared by owners Renee and Ward,with cellarial expertise of Paul .If you are in the area ,call in,would recommend a phone call first if you want to dine, enjoy ,won't regret it !!

Great pub, great food and family friendly :)

Great country pub. Good beer, friendly landlord

Nice cosy traditional country pub. Friendly staff and good food and beer, just what I wanted.

Country Public House with so much charm... Roaring fire and Theakstons on Hand Pull...£2.90.... Brilliant

Proper English country pub serving excellent beer and delicious food. Have been drinking and eating here since I was old enough too and can never fault it. Will always return!

Food and service unbelievable. Great atmospher and value. Definitely our favorite. One word describes this great character pub. EXCELLENT.

Just visited this cosy little pub for dinner with family. I don’t think we can really comment on the whole menu as 4 opted for venison, 2 for scampi and one curry (other menu items were available!). None of us were disappointed, tasty, home cooked food with a good range of veggies for the venison. Can’t comment on the desserts either as portions of main courses are generous. Good pub, decently priced drinks and will visit again and again…

Do not bother going here if you have children. Attempted to eat here tonight to be met with a barrage of excuses to deter us from staying. I got the hint and left. Not sure what pub can afford to turn away £100 in the...

A very welcoming and friendly pub but sadly I wouldn’t recommend eating here unless it’s for macaroni (well rigatoni) cheese. No flavour to the venison casserole and no balance to flavours (basically garlic only) with the prawns and noodles (which were swimming in oil). Food...

Thanks to you all for helping to make our holiday a great one with your delicious food and lovely atmosphere. Thank you Irene for your tasty meals,Paul for his expert bar service and Ward for all being the comic and fire watcher !!!!!

If your in this area you should check this pub out The food and the beer is first class and the welcome is friendly. There is no football and machines. It's a good old fashioned pub.

This is a traditional pub, very welcoming atmosphere, the Landlord and all the other staff are very nice, and nothing is too much trouble. The food we had was lovely and plenty of choice. We can't wait to go back and have another very pleasant...

04/10/2022 Food is back 6-8 don't forget to book! 30/07/22 Can't describe how wonderful this place is..... 25/3/22 More of a wet pub now but an absolute fabulous pub set in rural North Yorkshire..... The Kronenbourg is consistently good and a extensive bar snack selection is always on offer. Previous Review The food offer is not American burgers as it is described in the pub details but a good mix of fish an meat dishes, I would recommend booking as evening meals can be a very busy time but they are always delicious.

A real gem of a find. If you want a traditional English country pub then this is the place. Wonderful friendly staff, great home cooked food. Popular with locals and visitors. Real fire on cold evenings makes for a cosy atmosphere. Plenty of walks around the surrounding area. Best to book if eating as it can get busy quickly.

Great pub & beer prices very reasonable. I wish they did pub food rather than just sandwiches that's the only negative about tge place.

Traditional rural pub. Food locally produced.

This pub is something else! Even better that it's right next door to where we're staying! Staff are very friendly as are the locals, a huge thank you all for making us feel so welcome 😀🍻

Been travelling from Whitby to Staithes over the last 10 or so years time permitting, mostly early week, I've never managed to find this pub open - I checked online it was open, I also rang and got the Landlord - lovely chap. He said...

An old fashioned pub but if you don't like fox hunting don't go in because it's full of foxes heads

Lovely little place, sat in the pretty beer garden overlooking the river to eat our tasty buns and crisps.

A lovely unspoilt village pub. I'm staying in Staithes but saw this was very close so popped down late afternoon and sat outside enjoying a very reasonably priced pint and the peace and quiet in a beautiful location. I told the landlord I'd be back...

Lovely traditional pub. Only one ale on tap. Probably the best pub in Staithes though.

No food apart from sandwiches, google lacking that fact, lovely old pub.
