Hart Inn in Scarborough

Table booked for 7pm.Very busy upstairs and bar area.Our Table for 2 in a nice corner upstairs.Food was ok nothing special service was again ok.Drinks a bit over the top.Pint cider and a red wine over £15 .Have been before whilst staying in Whitby.Two Screaming kids did not help !! Who brings kids at that time of night and trying to force them to eat !! No Kids After 8 pm.

£13.60 for 2 pints of Black Sheep and a bag of mini cheddars!! 😱 Great location but feel the price of drinks is far too high....sadly won't be returning

Super friendly , convivial relaxed atmosphere. Bar staff helpful- we phoned after misusing out at The Stiddy up the hill and they said just come along - we will fit you in . They did .. Food hot and homely - the chicken tikka and the lasagne were v generous portions . Black sheep ale on tap . It has upstairs seating too . New car park just up valley - p and d but not expensive. Value for money J reckon , all round .

Nothing to shout about. Average pub, serving average food (starters and mains) and average beer. Not too much competition locally, so that might explain it. Food and drinks are a little bit pricey for the standard of quality. The only exception was the ice-cream sundae, which was really good quality, plenty of it and good value for money. Total score is 3.5 out of 5 (an extra half point because of the ice-cream sundae).

Had a lovely meal at this traditional British pub. We ate downstairs in the bar. The mussels were gorgeous and the steak and dressed crab really well prepared. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

We had been recommended the Hart Inn at Sandsend by our son in law who has been quite a few times. It did not disappoint. The waitresses were attentive, friendly and lovely. The meals outstanding and good value. Pints were a bit expensive at £5.20 a pint but we only had one with our meal anyway. Starters we chose were scallops, prawn cocktail and fried Brie. All well presented and delicious. Mains we had Prawn and dressed crab salad and a Sunday roast massive plates of delicious food 10/10 Total bill came to £100.85 We would absolutely recommend.

We had booked a table. The tables are spaced apart and the whole place was set up to be very Covid safe. Re food came quite quickly, was well-cooked and well presented. The portions are large so are great value for money. The service was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. There are two areas for sitting outside for drinks after your meal which are both lovely attractive areas.

Took three days to get a table booked here but well worth it, huge portions , had a starter but really the main meal would of been enough, staff friendly and welcoming.

Lovely helpful Staff, Lovely place, food was excellent and great value. I had a huge Lobster that was delicious, my friend had haddock that was the biggest I had ever seen on a plate, hanging over at both ends, the men had lovely steaks, no complaints we ate here twice and would of been back but fully booked, there is a nice outside seating area also.

Following a disappointing meal at the Raithwaite Estate we booked into the Hart Inn for an evening meal. The food was excellent and really good value, the staff were brilliant, especially the young lady who served us. This Inn is a must if you are in the area. Doug and Sue.

The barmaid with short red hair was absolutely appalling she was rude and abrupt and the customer service in this place is disgusting. We left within 5 mins do not go !!!!

Brilliant food at very reasonable prices with excellent friendly service. Despite being busy the service was quick. The new beer garden at the rear is pleasant.

3 sunday dinners and the steak pie dish went down a treat. Comfy, cosy pub. Had to wait for a table but one available after 10 mins. Highly recommend the above dishes.

All things considered probably one of the easy coasts best pubs. Dog friendly, great vibe that attracts the right people. Love the place. Excellent traditional pub. Ruby loves the place too. 👍👍👍

The 9 of us enjoyed our range of fish dishes consumed. Although the haddock and chip portion beat one of us!

Beautiful food and atmosphere all the staff are attentive and the choice of drinks as good as anywhere But the food is the real star our sharing platter was gorgeous and beautifully presented,the wine crisp and chilled I would highly recommend this place and will be back at Christmas

Was recommended to me for its crab sandwich by a friend who knows his food. Beyond all expectations in terms of quality and ambience with a nice beer to boot. Wow!

Lovely place, very friendly & lovely meals. Obviously have to park in the car park as they do not have one. If you have done a lot of walking nice place to sit & have a few drinks

I visit this local pub whenever I can . I have never had a bad meal or drink. Incredibly welcoming and immensely friendly . I without hesitation recommend this great small pub.

We come to the hart inn every month when we are in Whitby - you cannot get better,healthier food for your money than here The chef is a lovely lady who is so clean and slim, she puts a fab salad garnish with everything she serves, her salads are a revelation and her vegetable selection is seasonal and excellent Her fish and meat dishes are plentiful and filling, healthy but tasty - she has it just right Nothing is slathered In fat and gravy/sauce The wine menu is fab - a bit of everything You can also get a bottle of bollie if it’s a special occasion The roaring log fire warms the bones to perfection and the landlord is a quiet but constant presence I havn’t found a nicer place to rest my weary bones after a long day walking or cycling than the hart inn - you will not be disappointed if you stop off at the hart inn

We were staying in Sandsend during December 2018 and visited the Hart Inn for dinner. What a friendly place other customers very friendly and chatty and cheerful and helpful bar staff.

We were told that this pub did very nice meals and this turned out to be true. I had the Whitby caught cod and my wife had the Lasagne. Both were very nice. The atmosphere in the pub was also very good

always go tot he Hart when visiting Whitby, open fire going, cold and crisp outside, good pint of ale, lovely staff and cracking scampi and chips - what more can you ask for.

Lovely sunny day , friendly staff , dog friendly , beer delicious, great beer garden , really chilled atmosphere - worth a visit 👍

After disappointing meal in nearby 5 star hotel decided to try this pub after a long day touring. We were welcomed by friendly barmaid and told us We could eat upstairs .Two lovely rooms upstairs and as starters had the best/freshest crab ever then main course of Whitby haddock which was the biggest and best haddock we have ever had. The previous night we had eaten in the so called famous fish and chip shops in Whitby where apparently all the fish comes from Iceland and Scotland. Head to the Hart for proper Whitby fish. A terrific meal and lovely looking pub. Wish we had stayed there instead of the 5 star hotel.

We visited this pub three nights in a row,

Service was very friendly and efficient and the portion sizes of our meals was really good. My portion of chips was massive and they were lovely big chunky chips too!

We called in at lunch time it is a small interior, but lots of seating outside. We had dressed crab salad and a drink, it came well presented and tasted amazing.

Recently stayed in Sandsend and as this is the only pub we dined there three times. Nice outside area and dogs welcome both inside and out. Fairly small inside so may get full if the weather is bad and everyone from the beer garden comes inside.

Great for tea with the children. Something for everyone. Dog friendly. Good service. Don’t understand earlier reviews about service which nearly put us off but glad they didn’t.

Cosy traditional pub with open fire, friendly welcoming staff. Excellent food with huge portion sizes, reasonably priced. Gluten and dairy free options very limited. Lovely setting across the road from the stream and beach. Ample seating outside for warmer days.

Worst drink we had all week. Cost £6.20 for pint of lager and half of cider which was awful. Pub wouldnt last 2 mins anyway else. Endeavour in whitby close behind £6.10 for inferior drinks. Far better pubs in whitby.

Wow, this is a great hidden gem on the sea front in Sandsend. Looks small from the outside but has plenty of tables across a couple of floors. The food is fantastic. The service is quick and the portions are massive! Shame really as we could not eat our main course after having starters. The menu is varied and plenty to choose from. The pub is cosy and the staff are great and very helpful. We had to book as it does get full pretty quick. Its lovely to see the high tide across the road and the waves coming over the wall while sitting eating and drinking.Great value for money and not overpriced. We will definitely visit again

The Inn was busy when we arrived with locals, the barman was very rude and we had to ask if there was seating upstairs he didn't offer the information even though the tables downstairs were taken

We have visited the Hart on a number of occasions and have been very happy with the food and the service was great. It's a very cosy place and sea food is excellent. We will be back again soon.

Our party of almost 30 people ate an evening meal in early January 2018.

It is really nice to eat outside in the sun here. The food is Amazing too! But you have to wait a long time for it💤. Reccomenedations: Meal - Whitby Scampi.🍤 Meal - Fish and Chips.🐟🍟 Ratings: Looks: 3/5 Food - 4/5 Service - 2/5...

This is a cracking little pub in a stunning location. We went there as a party of seven for Sunday dinner and were very impressed. They do the usuals for roasts (which were all good) but the reason for the five stars is the seafood. Crab salad “starter” was enormous and made with the freshest and whitest crab, the prawns in garlic butter were sensational. For mains most had the roasts (good value at a tenner a go) but the smart money was on the Whitby cod and chips with mushy peas. Enormous, fresher and whiter than snow and with great peas. The one average bit about it was the chips, but it still gets a five from me.

Great pub with good beer and great food. Good service and lovely view of the golf course and sea. What a very nice place and would definitely go there again. Really good food and service!!!

The Hart Inn is a lovely little pub, it's an old building with wooden beams. The atmosphere is ambient, The staff are all lovely and well the food is amazing for the cost, it was served quickly even though it was very busy and full of people. the portions are rather big and the quality is spot on. They have free wi-fi too.

Hope you are hungry when you arrive here. A plate full of amazing food. We received a great service from the friendly staff. Nothing too much for them.

Arrived In Sandsend absolutely starving and came across the Hart Inn by chance. We couldn't have asked for a better meal and the service was quick and we only paid £35 for 3 meals and 3 drinks.

Lovely meal had by family. Portions were very filling and quality was good. Service was on point with lovely views

We visited here on an off chance on a Friday evening. Very welcoming, a nice evening so we sat outside with the dog. Good quality food and there were lots of locals which we feel is a good sign. Would visit again.

We love this place. Ivor always greets us well and his staff are lovely. Food is good and large portions. Lobster & Crab a specialty.

Food was well cooked and generous portions...thouroughly enjoyed my fish and chips...only downside is because of the area, card payments can be a tad difficult, so ensure you have cash too...

this feels like a local even though the clientele are mostly visitors. The food was fab and the service excellent

Fab little local pub serving generous portions. Lovely dressed crab and prawns accompanied with a great salad which included strawberries, orange, apples and grapes. Never disappointed when call here, nice sitting out area too.

Really friendly local pub in Sandsend with a good mixture of tourists and locals.The food comes in extremely generous portions at reasonable prices.Open fire on our first visit and local papers to read,

Having only had lovely drink in garden on a sunny afternoon cannot really comment, but can only say the young man behind the bar's customer service left a lot to be desired. My husband did not like being called mate at least three times and his whole extremely laid back attitude was not appreciated.

great atmosphere in here didn't eat but the food did look good will try it next time. Clean and the staff are very friendly

This pub is the heart of Sandsend Village, you will find a mix of locals and tourist and everyone is made to feel welcome. Dogs allowed in the downstairs bar and in the outside seating area, but not in the upstairs restaurant. You can order food and eat in any of these areas. Food standard pub food, most of it seems homemade etc, I ordered the lasagna which was really enjoyable but had a distinct lack of meat in it. In fact one layer was just 2 sheets of pasta with béchamel sauce, but the mincemeat that was there was very tasty. My husband had the smoked mackerel pate which was lovely and son had a burger. Decent size portions and good value for money. Oh and they have proseco on tap!!

What a lovely pub , 1st people in , piping out coffees, top do . Looking forward to bar snack tomorrow

Wow, what a find. Good beer and excellent food, thanks to all concerned. I can highly recommend this establishment.

Had three evening meals here. Excellent food, large portions and I can highly recommend the Fish & Chips.

Food is magnificent; quality is second to none :quantity is over whelming ! Great ethos :?we go as we can sit and eat with dog! Roaring fire welcome refuse from chilly half term weather! Forgotten about portion size . Starter and main almost impossible to finish : recommend starter and desert or light bite and desert or main meal alone !!!

Went here to try the fish and chips and we were not disappointed!!Generous portions and a great local brew makes it place to definitely try. The only minus point for me was the lack lustre staff who were a bit robotic and didn't engage well, apart from that I would go back.

My wife and I plus our little Yorkie called in for lunch after a tiring walk on the beach. It was well over a year since our last visit but I am pleased to report that the high standards we experienced last time are being maintained. We were made to feel very welcome by the friendly and cheerful barman and soon felt very much at home sitting near the traditional open fire. Our meals were well presented, good quality and excellent value for money. There was also a good choice of real ales, lagers and ciders. This is a proper pub and well worth a visit - you will not be disappointed!

We were stopping near Sandsend for our weekend in Whitby, so ate here on our second night. The Hart Inn is a proper cosy pub, obviously popular with locals (always a good sign), and serves good food. It is dog friendly, and allow dogs in the comfortable, stylish bar area, though not in the restaurant (fair enough).We enjoyed starters of garlic prawns and mussels, followed by 1/2 lobster and chips, and a T-bone steak. At which point we were definitely too full to consider a pudding! The portions were generous, very tasty and served promptly. The only slight issue (hence not five stars) was there was some confusion with what was available, with the waitress having to come back a couple of times for us to change our minds. It wasn't a huge issue, and at least it's a sign of fresh food rather than an endless freezer full of meals!

Went in on a spur of the moment thing, ordered some food and the starters and main course were out of this world. Lovely portions, hot, well cooked and well presented. Good service and nice people to finish off a lovely meal !!

This is a great pub, my wife and I with our little dog ate here 3 times during our 3 night east coast break. It is a traditional pub with great real ales, excellent food and a lovely friendly atmosphere. I can heartily recommend it and would not hesitate to return when in the area.

While visiting Sandsend for a long weekend we were advised to try The Hart Inn through the people who owned our accomodation...And we weren't disappointed. This a very cosy and traditional English Inn. Beamed ceilings, stone floor, roaring fire, with a good cross section of customers...Famalies, locals, walkers, dog owners. Downstairs is the pub but you can still eat here then upstairs is the restaurant. The staff, although young, were very polite and nothing was too much trouble. We had dinner the first day and lunch on our final day and although the menu is tradtional pub grub it is fresh, well cooked and plentiful....Be warned only go for a starter unless you are starving as the mains are massive. The Whitby cod and chips, although £13, is absoloutely massive and just fits on the large oval plate and is fantastic. Lovely traditional place....Recommended.

Called in on spec and had a lovely steak, cooked exactly as i asked. The service was excellent. The seating is within the bar area and I believe upstairs too. We sat downstairs which added to the experience as it was busy, but not crowded.

Called in on a Friday evening with the dog. Great service, friendly staff and a nice warm fire!Food was lovely & huge portions! I had the Thai red curry with prawns & monkfish which was brimming with prawns & was nicely spicy. Our party also enjoyed the gammon, bean burger & chicken burger. All reasonably priced. Save room for the delicious deserts!

When in Whitby my wife and i usually walk along the sea front to Sandsend (about a 45min walk) to visit The Hart Inn for lunch...The pub has a nice view over the stream/river as it flows into the sea and the bus stop opposite the front door is handy if you wish to catch a bus back to whitby instead of walking back...This pub does amazing food and is worth visiting for that alone - the portions are massive and well priced... you can also wash this down with a great pint of real ale or whatever you like...The pub indoors can get packed on occasions but it is worth a visit even if you do on the rare occasion wait for a table... there is also a beer garden outside where you can also eat...Good pub with great food... worth the walk!

The fish chips and guiness best we have had I a long time. Happy staff as well. Really good visit. We will be going back

We were staying at the Porthole and Helen ,our host recommended the Hart .fresh wholesome grub and real ale

We made the mistake of ordering a curry instead of a fish or seafood dish. (The prawn cocktails which other diners had ordered looked huge!) Unfortunately we were seated next to a very loud family who failed to consider other diners. We were so put off we didn't return.

The portions are huge! The Menu prices are little higher then the average Pub, but the portion sizes are very generous and its tasty food. Nice little pub downstairs with plenty of character, plenty of space upstairs for large groups, nice beer garden too. Good for families, groups or couples. Well worth a visit if nearby.

Booked a table and not disappointed. Fresh lobster and steak were perfect. Cooked just as requested. Plentiful dish. Staff polite and very helpful. Highly recommended!

Gripes first.Vast oval platter covered with coleslaw, green salad, lemon halves, good portion of chips and then peas.Place on top a magnificent whale of a cod stretching over the ends of the platter.Is it an anticipated delight or an SAS challenge?The size is daunting, why salad at all? OK the fish and chips were the best ever and we would most certainly drive 220 miles again to eat here.Bar a bit crowded with small tables for dishes this size, upstairs preferable. Also lots of outside seating.Attracts Sloanes with Chelsea tractors as well as local lads.Superb staff. (Stop serving food at 8.30 pm.)

A lovely place not far from the beach, served lovely food, quick service from very nice staff and all very clean and well presented. I would visit again when next in Sandsend.

This is a lovely little pub been here a few times the mussels and prawns are fabulous as is the beer garden so if you have a dog or dogs there is somewhere you can sit have your lunch and let them rest water is also provided for your pets.

This restaurant was so convenient for us especially as it was pouring with rain and the prospect of a long walk to the venue didn't appeal. This restaurant/pub has it's own car park - friendly and helpful staff who serve good value tasty food. Highly recommended

I visited here after a funeral service in Whitby. The hotel was welcoming and it was good to sit al fresco with the sounds of the sea in the background.

Having spent two holidays in Sandsend in the last few months, we have eaten here on a number of occasions. Nothing has disappointed us. The food is wonderful and the atmosphere very friendly.

Went here for lunch brilliant food, service and lovely settings. Would Highly recommend to go here if in the area.

The Hart was recommend and it didn't disappoint. Located in a beautiful small bay. Easy access. Good parking. Traditional pub offering a wide ranging menu. We both ordered fresh lobster and salad. Absolutely wonderful and the lobster was fresh!! Great value. 40 quid for one and half lobsters, salad, skinny fries, two glasses on wine each.....hows that for value. And to cap it all , good atmosphere and great service.

Fantastic place to eat and drink. We always try to visit the Hart Inn when I visit the Whitby/Sandsend area,I recently stayed at the Raithwait Hall and walked into Sandsend for dinner at the pub, as always, a friendly welcome and lovely food.

Ate here on a busy Saturday evening in the upstairs dining room which was very nicely decorated. The food was very good quality and delicious and the portions huge!!

We visited the Hart Inn a few times on a recent holiday to Sandsend. A dog friendly pub with a lovely cosy atmosphere. Food is well prepared and portion size is excellent. Good value for money. The upstairs restaurant is pleasant enough but we much preferred the ambience of the downstairs bar area

We just wanted a quick bite to eat after a long drive to Sandsend. Staff all very friendly with a warm greeting. We had one starter and 2 main courses. All 3 dishes were ok, nothing special. From what I could see most of the dishes are bought in, as I have seen the same things in a 100 other places. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. It did what we wanted on this occasion, it is just a pity as it could do so much better with a bit of imagination from the kitchen. Sauces in sachets on the table are a personal hate. And why serve coleslaw and a slice of orange with every dish...this place could be a goldmine with just a bit more TLC and thought.

We have eaten here before in the pub downstairs but decided to book a table upstairs for this evening meal. We arrived and the bar was warm and welcoming - but the upstairs restaurant is characterless and split into two rooms. We had difficulty getting the attention of the waitress and when we ordered extra drinks from a different waitress they were forgotten. They just seemed uninterested. The food was average with nothing particularly interesting on the menu. In the end we just had basic steaks and shared a very basic pudding from the limited dessert menu.Having said all the above about the restaurant, the bar is actually much better. Comfortable seating in cozy bar area with a fire. The bar staff were friendly and there were plenty of local people in with their dogs. Downstairs is a better place to eat if you can get served there.We could not find a website for the pub and therefore could not see the menu or evening specials before booking. This has to be a big area for future improvement.

Visit all year round when at are Apartment in Whitby Eaten here time and time again, Visited Christmas Day for a Beer before Lunch, Good as ever

My wife and I visited this pub while having a long weekend in Sands End. It came highly recommended and we were not disappointed. The food , the service and the selection of beers was fantastic.Well worth a visit.

Popped in for evening meal and sat by a roaring fire. Great food and friendly atmosphere. Dog friendly. Highly recommend

We stopped for lunch and a drink. Good friendly service brilliant crab sandwich and scampi with salad and dip. Great beer

Always get a great meal here. It gets very busy but worth the wait for a table .We use this pub as we are based on Sandfield Caravan Park .Never had anything wrong to say about the food ,peruse the menu but usually have the steak . Look forward to same next year

Excellent choice of menu and food. Very good staff. We had Steak which was cooked and presented to the highest standard. Well done to all.

We haven't been to the Hart for a couple of years & we were pleased to see the food is still good! I had cod & chips which was great! Lovely white cod & thin crispy batter! Just the way I like it! The tai curry my husband was pleased to announce was 'as good as the last time' The lamb was also given the thumbs up! The only complaint I had was the customers that couldn't close the door behind them! It can get very draughty if you sit near the door! There is an 'upstairs' but I don't know if it is used lunchtime! I should have asked!

came here for a meal 24/09/15 friendly staff, great service, Had king prawn in garlic butter starter which was lovely, Had sirloin steak for main course, one of the nicest steaks iv,e ever had. you get a plate full for you money, will definitely go back when next in the area,

No frills or fuss, just good food well cooked and very good value for money. Staff were delightful too! And downstairs is dog friendly.

A lovely local pub with fantastic food, easy walking distance froom where we stayed. A great atmosphere

The food was ok but would have been better served on a warm/hot plate. Also the rump steak ordered was definitely not rump steak however fish good and lasagne ok but nothing special for the price. The food came one at a time and the waitress had no idea about waiting etiquette - she didn't look old enough to be there !3

Disappointing , on Sunday as a party of 5 we planned to go to this pub, nearly overshot entry to car park not easy to get in as its on a very busy road, entered pub just before 230pm looking forward to Sunday meal , but was told by male person behind bar that they stopped serving as they were expecting a party , this person was not apologetic , more sneering , as he enjoyed the situation. Asked were we could eat , he grumpily pointed across the road 'the bistro' .we left all members of my party agreed that the manner of this person was unacceptable. The meal at the bistro was excellent . This person did us a favour. We will visit the bistro again across the road. As were here for a week.sorry hart inn your loss of 5 meals and re visits.

I have visited here several times but never been upstairs to the restaurant (usually visit with a four legged friend!) The food is varied and well priced. My only criticism is the chips are not hand cut.

This is a traditional pub with upstairs restaurant and gets very busy so book in advance if you want to be sure of a table. The menu is varied and there are a lot of fish dishes on the menu.. The Cod and chips are a huge portion with the fish hanging off the plate so a good appetite would be needed to finish all of it. Many of the customers we saw didnt manage all of it. Overall I found the food very good value for money and would return.

Nestled away in the beautiful corner of Sandsend, this pub is a little haven where you will want time to stand still. The beer is great and the food is excellent. Catch the sun in the outside terrace area and there's not another spot in the world to beat it!

£3.70 for not quite a pint of Black Sheep served with a scowl. Put us off eating there. Very bright lights and busy ambience. Not really a pub anymore and too crowded to be a relaxing restaurant.

Back yet again. Love this place. Ivor & Liam make you feel very friendly. Great menu; big portions; good price; all welcome
