Humble Pie 'n' Mash in Scarborough

A great alternative to fish and chips. Great value for money and we were so full after the meal we had to go lie down for an hour at our hotel. Yummy

The pie was lovely. The only letdown was the mash for me. The staff was very nice and the place has a lot of history.

Wonderful, found by by our eldest son on social media. Well worth a visit, loved the 1940's wartime music, the decor to match. Great service, food was fabulous, left feeling stuffed! Only one thing missing for me and my hubby, no plant based milk for the tea, the plant based food was incredible, would've loved a cup of tea to with it. Best food we've had in Whitby and we visit regularly.

Beautiful pie mash and gravy with a great atmosphere

What a place, amazing pie. Forgot your fish and chips, get to this place

Came to whitby for a few days away it's March the weather was cold, we had looked up places to see and do in whitby before we came the humble pie n mash was on list so decided to try it's fab what an experience pies are delicious atmosphere brilliant staff really welcoming and friendly roaring fire to keep us warm we went for tea next day again highly recommend.

Lovely Pie and Mash, couldn’t manage it all very filling. Very friendly staff

Such a cute and quaint little place. Very cosy. The food was amazing, extremely generous portions, you could definitely share one between two.

Great quirky cafe, lots of interesting photos and memorabilia from a by gone era. We only had drinks so can't comment on the food. The camp coffee was surprisingly nice.

Been coming to Whitby for the last 30 years didn't know this place existed nice change from fish and chips,loved it

Bangers and Mash with mushy peas, delicious.Bit disappointed lamb and mint pie not on menu anymore but guess that's cos lamb is so expensive

Cibo ottimo, ho provato la mushroom pie vegetariana, davvero molto buona. ambiente suggestivo,sembra di tornare indietro nel tempo

Food was good quality but not proper London pie and mash, music is an acquired taste too

Food gorgeous we recommend the sausage with black pudding and braised steak and stout. Very swift service but not rushed. Good value for money and portions ample.

What a gem of a place, you always do fish n chips at the coast but I urge you to try something different, traditional sticks to your ribs food 😋

Recommended by a friend this place did not disappoint. We went for a late lunch on a Sunday and managed to get 5 of us seated quite promptly. The menu is not overloaded with choice - nice and simple pie & mash. About 7 different pies to choose from all served with decent mash, peas (or mushy peas) and gravy. Good sized portions served along with a drink of choice meant we all ate well and enjoyed the 40s style ambience. It’s a good price per person for a very filling meal. Will definitely be coming back!

What a great atmosphere and such friendly attentive staff. The whole experience was fantastic and the pie and mash was great! We went with a large family group, the service was quick and they could not have been more amiable. Highly recommended for something a little bit different.

Great food (pie and mash) with great service in a great environment. Good prices too. Well worth a visit if you like a good pie and atmosphere.

Old school food served in front of a warm open fire on a bitterly cold day. Makes a refreshing change from fish and chips and the pies are delicious.

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience from start to finish. Food and service superb and loved the 40s setting and music, my late old mother would have enjoyed it

Cute cafe with a great vegan pie on the menu, which is really delicious! Nice friendly staff and very quick service. Unfortunately the one thing that lets this place down is the cheesy wartime music being pumped out, which really grates and makes for quite an unpleasant sensory experience. I get that this is a themed cafe, and a bit of background music is fine and normal, but they could easily just quietly play music from that era to create the atmosphere without such clichés as 'White Cliffs of Dover' and 'We'll Meet Again'. The morning after we visited, this place came up in conversation at our guesthouse with some other guests who'd been there, and they all said that the music puts them off from going back, which is a shame because we all agreed that the food and service was great!

Outstanding eatery with an awesome relaxed vibe. We have visited over half a dozen times now and each time the artisan homemade pies have been sooooo delicious!!!! The staff are lovely and always very helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful restaurant.

Å single vegan pie option - but what an option! Mushroom & ale pie, with vegan mash and mushy peas (normal peas available), delicious. While the venue is on the more intimate side the service is swift and friendly. Reasonably priced as well for how tasty it was. Most places increase the price of the vegan version, but this one cost the same, which I really appreciate.

Great little restaurant. Great pies. Dog friendly.

Can’t fault this place, it’s a generous portion of pie mash and peas, no fuss, really tasty. If you’re after a hearty meal, this place won’t disappoint. We are vegetarian and there was a few options on the menu, the vegan mushroom and ale pie was excellent . Would highly recommend .

Really looking forward to this. Building amazing was like going back in time. Food disappointing unfortunately won't be going back.

A little Gem, try this place for a quality pie and mash, no nonsense British food.

Visited this cafe in Whitby on many occasions and it has always been one of the highlights or our holiday. But today unfortunately was not one of them. What was once a 1940’s nostalgic well kept cafe now resembles a neglected cafe that time has not been kind to. The food also was a big letdown. The menu has removed our favourite pies (corn beef hash and also the lamb pie ). And the pies we got do not resemble the much loved ones of previous visits. The mash was gooey, and it all could have been warmer. A disappointing visit, with so many other nice places to eat in Whitby, unfortunately we will not be returning.

I love this pint sized café. Mostly the great selection of pies but the music, staff and atmosphere also. Get in early. It's very popular. I believe that it is one of the oldest buildings in Whitby.

Touted as traditional pie & mash, which is London's original fast food, but with no liquor(parsley sauce) to be had, this is nothing like it at all. But as a good meal it passed the test.

Great cafe. Could do with a gluten free option or teoy.

Untidy and dirty, door was propped shut with a chair because it was broken and we were sat infront of it waiting for ages due to take away orders being served To crowds outside. Each time the door slammed open and shut, sending gusts of freezing cold winds through you. We didn't stay for food as we were waiting too long and a good job we didn't as apparently the mash isn't lactose intolerant friendly. They put butter in it. So even if you're vegan you're not getting what you want. A shame really as it's a really quaint place and could be special if they gave the whole place a bit of tlc.

Good food & not as big a queue as the chippies

Such a great place! Glad I visited, so welcoming and tasty! Also dogs friendly ❤️ I had a Slow Braised Steak and Stout Pie and it was fantastic

Been in twice, beautiful pies staff are so friendly and professiona,l the cafe is 1940s right down to the music and camp coffee will definitely will be visiting again and they do take aways. 👍

Gorgeous food and great service. Also well priced. Highly recommend. 👍

Not much to say other than, great food & great service, just a real pleasant time

Really cool vibe in a 1940s style. Warming and filling pie and mash. Well worth a visit for a filling meal and a different experience

This little gem of a place should be a must do for everyone, quite frankly the best pie n mash I’ve eaten . The young man who welcomed us in was lovely and the place is quirky almost like stepping back in time to old wartime days . The pie selection is fantastic and the mash was creamy and light . Just honestly amazing little place and can’t wait to go back again. Thank you .

First time visiting, tried the steak pie, mash and peas, absolutely beautiful, full of meat , customer service excellent, very friendly atmosphere, would definitely be visiting again.

I’ve been several times now and would definitely go back - excellent food, service and atmosphere.

We visited here after being recommended by a friend and we are SO glad we did. Finding good vegetarian options can be tricky but the pies here were absolutely stunning, it was delicious and did just the trick to warm us up too. I’ve got no complaints!

Really good option if you want something other than fish and chips. Second time we've been. It was a really good choice on a cold November lunchtime. Selection of pies is good. Nice and fresh. Mash was a bit lumpy in places and but them and mushy peas and gravy we're still okay. Finished off with chocolate pudding and custard.

Excellent selection of quality Yorkshire pies, this venue is small so prepare to either wait or return when tables are available. Tea and Coffee served, alongside soft drinks. Highly recommend the Yorkshire beef and stout pie

We’ve been looking forward to trying humble pie and mash for such a long time after hearing such good things. However we were left thoroughly disappointed and flabbergasted at how it manages to get so many good reviews. The pies looked and tasted like mass produced factory pies that had been bought in, the mashed potatoes were so horrible and lumpy and the peas tasted like tinned mushy peas instead of real dried/soaked peas. I can’t believe a shop selling only pie, mash and peas aren’t able to make their own pies and are unaware of how to mash potatoes properly. Avoid this place if you enjoy nice pie, mash and peas

Like stepping back in time to the 1st world war (without the bombs and guns). The pie and mash is amazing, staff were friendly and helpful. Just a great place to eat.

Proper home cook pie and mash, very tasty, good portions, lovely staff

What a lovely little place to eat, food was amazing & the lady who served us was so pleasant & welcoming. Would definitely recommend. A little goldmine of a place.

Nice little change from the chippie . Quick and efficient service.

Fiona found this looking for somewhere different to eat, 1st class vegan pie's.

Outstanding! Steak and stout pie was amazing.

Went in on a whim and absolutely loved it! Ample portions nicely priced and felt back in time with the ambience. Defo going back when we return!!!

Absolutely amazing atmosphere and service, partnered with a beautifully simple menu with absolutely a star superb pies absolute top quality

Hi there! Not a real review but please be aware that the phone number listed on Google for this restraunt is calling folks randomly and claiming to be from three phone services! Be careful when trying to contact this place :)

What a great place! We always have fish and chips when in Whitby but found out about this place online prior to our day trip. We can get pretty decent fish and chips at home so given the great reviews about this place we thought we’d buck the trend. We were not disappointed. Humble Pie is a small place full of character, the 1940s theme is great and the pies are amazing. Staff were lovely and the service was super fast, a relatively small menu means you don’t have to spend ages perusing it and you know whatever you order will be top drawer. We got the steak and stout and the minced beef and onion pies, both were fantastic. There is a lot to be said for pie,mash and mushy peas served on a tin plate with a mug of delicious Yorkshire tea. As a bonus every table has a bottle of Henderson relish on it! Fantastic place with great food. Today we ate humble pie and it was good.

it is very busy and open till they run out i think not sure but could get take away if you go there js a 30 min wait as they wasnt doing deliveries that time. food was good and fresh.

Had this as a take away as the place is very busy all day & night. We got take away for me the wife & daughter & it was very good. If you are planing to eat here then book if you can. Over all very nice.

Absolutely fantastic food and experience. Lovely pies, the hard part is which one to choose. Highly recommend.

Great For Lunch Staff Brilliant Food outstanding even made room for the doggie and had a great inside area and just ‘Humble’

Lovely and cosy. Amazing service fast and efficient. The food was amazing. I got the chicken, and ale my partner got the steak and stout. Also got dessert portion sizes where great. Definitely be going back.

If a place is brave enough to advertise it serves one primary dish, being Pie, mash and peas, then Gordon Ramsey would approve. Do something simple and do it well. This place delivered in spades. Fantastic place. Well worth a visit.

What a lovely place, the food was very nice and tasty the place is cosy and the staff are friendly, and abit of history too ❤️

Perfect pie and mash really enjoyed the meal and atmosphere

Very small, cosy I'd say, very good food. Edit, 7 years later: still good, should not be missed while in Whitby.

Best pie and mash ever, dog friendly and really good service. Every pie looks amazing, but you can't beat the classic.

Really nice pies, simple and very tasty, loved the mash and pies and the old fashioned music playing in the background 😋

steak and stout pie mash with mushy peas is nice plenty of steak inside a bit expensive but the experience was great we got some presents to take home they do vegan also

Great little place. The food was absolutely delicious and proper tea too.

Nice pies what really let's it down is the website. Out of date with incorrect prices and the online ordering seems to be defunct. They also closed early on the Sunday not sure if it was a one off or that's every Sunday

We visited out of season, mid week, in about the middle of the afternoon. The food was exactly what it says on the tin, if you like pie and mash then you can pretty confident that you will enjoy the food they serve - it's excellent. It's a very old building and they have gone for a 1920's to 1940's theme. The service is quick and friendly. Overall it's a lovely place, selling decent quality, reasonably priced food and they do everything with a smile.

Had a mince beef and onion pie and it was delicious we would recommend anyone to and sample there pies you will not be disappointed in the results just to let you know you can the pies 🥧 to takeaway has well

Nostalgic . Great food and value for money. Ps picture was my other half's. Romany Hommity Pie. 😋

Had the steak and stout pie. Perfect. Accompanied with mushy peas, mash and gravy. £13.99 for this, which is ok for a meal that fills you. Jam Roly poly with custard for dessert. Very nice. There are around 7 tables in there so space is at a premium. We got there around 11:20 and were seated straight away

We had a few reasons for visiting Whitby. There are many actually, but included in the top three things to do in Whitby for us is to eat humble pie at the Humble Pie n Mash Co. The charm of the place is off the charts. The staff are absolutely lovely (No surprise there, it's Yorkshire!) the service is super friendly and the food is proper, hearty, tasty and filling. Good, old fashioned grub. Served the way it should be. I was so proud to sit there eating my slow braised steak n stout pie, in that old 40s themed atmosphere I almost had tears in my eyes. That's off the charts! My wife and I both absolutely loved it and are currently thinking of moving to Whitby permanently just to keep coming back. Love ya, Humble Pie n Mash Co. Thank you for food from the heart. You made this old lad very happy.

Best pie and mash I've ever had , from a fella wiganer who knows about pies 🥧

Far more choice on website than is actually available. But as we were all hungry ordered from the limited choice. Soon after we had our food the waitress asked if everything was okay. I said no, it's far too salty. She just said "oh" and walked away. I realised she wasn't going to offer an alternative so tried my best to eat it - managed about half. When it came to pay I asked for a discount and was told that no-one else had complained. That's hardly the point, I wasn't happy with my food! Eventually agreed to knock my meal off the bill but with bad grace. The place itself is not very nice, I think they're aiming for 40s 50s vibe. But it's just tatty with plastic table cloths. .

Very unique but quite lovable atmosphere with simple but very good food.

Lovely vibe and pleasant staff. Disappointed that there's no vegan mash but still paid full price for 2 thirds of a meal. Staff radio in the kitchen was a bit loud and overpowered the retro music being played but food was nice. Expensive and wouldn't return based on above points.

Wow, what a great place, absolutely brilliant.

Snug and by no means classy dining but the food was good and quick and very tasty.

This place is the best. The pie and mash is second to none, the atmosphere is fabulous - all the bunting and old newspapers and various old style gadgets from years ago coupled with the 40's pre and post war music, George Formby, Gracie Fields etc make this a nostalgic must see!!!

Just great food has been for years.

Absolutely gorgeous! Great comfort food..so so tasty..😋

Great food, reasonably priced, friendly helpful service. Lovely "good old days" atmosphere. Highly recommended.

3 days in a row, there’s no vegan pie… I’d take off the happy cow sticker, or at least don’t write it on the outside board. The staff seemed nice, the atmosphere is cool and traditional.

Lovely food. I had the steak pie and the steak was so tender and no gristle or fat in the pie just steak and gravy and lovely pastry. The mash and mushy peas were delicious. A real 1940s vibe in the place. Excellent service highly recommend.

Lovely friendly bubbly front of house young lady, take a step back in time Lovely experience

Absolutely delightful restaurant with a lovely theme, wonderful staff and amazing homely food!

Couldn’t fault the food at all, however we were charged for an extra pie and when we questioned we were looked at gone out. Be sure to question your bill as they are all too quick to walk off and not present you with an actual bill. We still didn’t receive the correct amount of change.

We loved our visit. Very nostalgic and the food was delicious and the staff very friendly. We will definitely go back!

What a fun, quirky place :) We had the creamy chicken and steak pie. Really reasonable cost and the food is lovely - they only offer one "type" of meal so they excel at it!

Quaint pie shop with yummy pie and friendly service in a historic building.

If ever in whitby, this quirky cafe is well worth a visit

Fantastic lunch the best pie we have ever had!!

Discovered this lovely place yesterday… so glad we did! The pies (vegetarian and vegan option available) were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the pastry of mine. The mash was nice too. It is dog friendly. I definitely hope to be back one day.

Fantastic food Great friendly service 👌

This is a really sweet little pie and mash shop. The decor is all early 20th century and George Formby on the radio. The mash is buttery and creamy, the pies are rich with a lovely short crust baked to perfection. No booking and it is a tiny building, so you might struggle to get a seat at peak times, but it's well worth it. Perfect comfort food.

The place is a joke..Went at 6.45pm 8th September and asked for takeout which is clearly stated on the website as available.Told by an ignorant male staff member that they weren’t doing them as they were closing in 45 minutes time and “Didn’t want to run out of pies” What the hell that is supposed to mean is beyond me.

Good old fashioned English food

Great tasting food at a reasonable price
