Humble Pie 'n' Mash in Scarborough

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.

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

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.

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

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

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 Out of date with incorrect prices and the online ordering seems to be defunct.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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Great tasting food at a reasonable price

Good old fashioned English food

Me and my hubby stopped by here for dinner,It was lovely…I had steak and stout pie with mash and peas,the hubby had chicken and cider

This is a wee gem from another era. We had the sausage and black pudding pie with peas, mash and gravy and a mug of Yorkshire tea. Couldn't manage a pudding but they looked amazing. Great service and the young waiter was fantastic. Will come back soon. Thank you.

Never had a nicer steak pie it was packed to brim with steak crust and bottom were perfect too highly recommended

Amazing food fantastic service. Restaurant small but worth the wait or you can get a take away.

Fantastic pie, mash and peas with gravy, absolutely delicious, definitely recommend this place. Hubby, myself and daughter enjoyed our meal.

Lovely lovely lovely little cafe type pie ‘n mash shop. Felt very authentic and like stepping back in time. Offers a vegan option which was delicious and the staff were super attentive and welcoming. Playing 1950s music and the building has lots of history. Also really enjoyed how many people had a mug of Yorkshire tea or a cordial to go with their pie, mash and mushy peas 🥧 🫛 🫖 🌱 Well worth the visit if in the area!

Our family loves coming here on days out with our dog to Whitby. It's like stepping into the past, the business and building has a lovely story too. The pies are the best, had to knock a point down as the vegan mash was rather lumpy this time. We will definitely be back as we love the pies and atmosphere.

Wow where do I start, this place blew me away from start to finish. The rustic and homely theme was very welcoming, reminded me of my childhood. Not to mention the exceptional service from front of house. Those chefs... They must be something special. The amount of flavour they can pack into a pie is out of this world. If your on the fence about visiting this restaurant during your trip to Whitby then think no more. Sent from my OPPO A18 PRO

Food was delicious but we particularly like the 40s / 50s vibe of the music and decor. Xxx

Such a gem! The best english pies I had. I can clearly feel that they are home made with high quality ingredients. Even the mash was incredible! Not lastly, I really enjoyed the cozy feel of the place, full of locals, rather than tourists.

Lovely pies, nice atmosphere. Quick service. As locals we have really enjoyed several visits here and will be back again. Delicious!

Queued outside the door on a bank holiday weekend, was well worth it! Lady who served us was lovely, comforting traditional pie!

Food is absolutely brilliant! Piping hot, delicious steak and stout pies with creamy mash and thick gravy. Had to wait about 20 minutes to get seated but the food was worth the wait. It is tiny inside but what can you expect from such an old building. Will definitely go again!

Really great service and tasty, heart pies to match. Cosy and friendly atmosphere. We loved it! Our waitress was very friendly and helpful.

The decor is not my cup of tea but the staff are really friendly and I had a tasty vegan pie - I'm not vegan but fancied some mushrooms and it was gorgeous. The nicest I've had for a really long time. Lovely mash too.

Very nice food and great atmosphere.

This was our second visit to Humble Pie, after previously enjoying a delicious pie and peas meal here on a visit a few years ago. On that occasion the atmosphere, service and naturally the food were all of a high standard. Unfortunately on this occasion both my wife and I were disappointed as it didn't live up to our previous experience, the reason for our return. We queued outside for about half an hour, during which time, take away orders appeared to take preference over dining in customers. It seemed like a shuttle service getting a table. A cup of tea arrived whilst the food was being prepared, steak pie, mushy peas, mash and gravy. A while after the order was placed we were offered garden peas as the mushy peas had run out! When the food arrived, the pie was overcooked and the pastry hard. My wife's pie was inadequately heated and a dollop of mash with a minimal amount of gravy was presented. Extremely disappointing for the price and definitely not value for money. We shall not be returning! A shame really.

I used to love coming here but not been in a few years, I went at the weekend and the food was very disappointing and unfortunately will not be going again. I ordered a coffee extremely cheap coffee tasted like water, the pie was lovely but the bangers and mash was awful, firstly I’m confused why we were served specifically 2 and a half sausages, they were very low quality meat awful texture and we had to wait half an hour for mash which was served hard and lumpy, mash is very easy to make there’s no reason to be served undercooked lumpy mash. Did not enjoy the food or drinks overall. For the prices they charge I expect decent quality food.

Lovely cosy little place. Authentic feeling. Authentic background music from WWII. Very friendly staff. Excellent food. A must when visiting Whitby

Turned up 30 mins before last orders for takeaway (6:55 for 7:25 pm last orders) and queued for 10 mins, only to be told they weren't taking any takeaway orders as they had nearly run out, despite giving takeaway order to the family in front of us, and also ok if we wanted to sit in. Very disappointed as the food looked and smelled amazing! Couldn't sit in though as daughter had Korean takeaway. Bit miffed.

We've eaten here before and know the pie and mash is a feast to behold and has previously been excellent value for money. We ate there again this week and we're shocked at how much the cost had increased, despite their website saying all pies, mash n peas are £11.99, we actually paid £13.99! It's a shame as it is a great alternative to fish n chips (£1 cheaper across the road). I know everything has gone up for everyone, but it just felt the price did not reflect the quality and quantity previously experienced, and at this price it's not so humble.

Service was a bit slow. Apart from that, it was good.

A quaint little place that does what it says on the tin. Quick service and no frills. Doesn't serve alcohol and doesn't allow BYOB (despite what TripAdvisor says!). I felt the pie flavours could be more punchy overall, but the pastry was delicious.

Had a lovely meal in the Whitby Humble Pie n Mash last night. Cosy atmosphere with lovely, basic home cooked feel to the food. The lady who served us was lovely too.

Very polite and welcoming waiter, food promptly served and was very nice. We went as a family of 7 and was not waiting long as all. Very nice steak & ale pie with mushy peas and mash potato !

Nice pies, good service. I had steak and ale pie which was full to the brim with steak. The mash is creamy and delicious. Cool looking place with lots of memorabilia from the past. Worth a visit when in Whitby.

Great food , fantastic friendly service , highly recommended 👌

Brilliant pie, mash and peas! Well worth a visit if you are in the need for some proper grub! Pleasant service, food came out fast and very tasty!! I had the mince and onion and the wife had the Homity pie. Both delicious 😋😋

Amazing taste and hearty staff ❤️

Fab place definitely would recommend visiting

Best meal during our stay in Whitby. Also £20 cheaper for the 2 of us. Highly recommend

Lovely vintage pie and mash shop. The gorgeous gravy aroma wafts down the road enticing you in. Very tasty.

What a pie-mazing experience, slightly costly for a pie but it was nice. The small quaint restaurant that has seen the reign of all the Charles monarchy. There were only 15 or so seats, and you can't book a table, I loved the war themed decor. I would recommend a visit to this restaurant. And would advise it's a very filling hearty meal. They also have Henderson's relish.

What a fantastic little place 1940's theme with genuine memorabilia and 40's music playing softly. They only sell Pie and Mash but have a variety including veg. You can't book so just turn up. *****

Great food. Yorkshire through and through

Disgusted. Come to Whitby for my 50th and especially to come to the pie and mash shop as it's my favourite place to eat. Checked on the Saturday what time they were closing on the Sunday. Was told open till 8 every day. Went on the Sunday at 6.50 and it was closed. Absolutely shocking that they have closed due to a football match.

Not great. Waited a fair while for a poorly filled pie, basic mash, and peas as good as tinned stuff from Bachelor's. Sat by the window and there was a terrible smell, absolutely gagging. They are trying hard, but it is not £30 (with tip) for that food served in metal dishes. Better pies from Sainsbury's, sorry, but it is true.

We ate here a few days ago, the pie, mash and peas were really lovely. The pie had plenty of filling. We really wanted to try dessert but were so full after the pie. Lovely mug of tea. Really good little place, looking forward to eating here again next year

Love this place, visit everytime we are in whitby

Busy little place but we loved it. Food was good and service was friendly. We ordered a "baby bowl" of mash, peas and gravy for our nine month old and he lapped it up! I also enjoyed getting a pint from across the road and bringing it across.

We ate twice, the traditional pie was very good.

Great homemade fayre, great atmosphere and very good service.

Superb food, service and atmosphere. Everything is delicious and very well taken care of by the staff. A delightful trip back in time from the serving dishes to the room itself, the decor and even the music from the 1940s. It's very small so if you can't get in make the effort to try again. You won't regret it. Perfect and cozy on a cold/ rainy day. 10/10

A delight in every possible way - not licensed to sell alcohol - but plenty of very fitting soft drinks. The pies are absolutely wonderful delicious! Highly recommended

Judging by the trip advisor ratings, we expected top class homemade pies. This was not the case, the pies ( steak and ale and chicken and leek) had very little filling and the pastry was hard. Even the mash was lumpy, would not recommend.

a slightly hidden gem as the shop although on the east side of the river is not in the main shopping area ,but near the car park by the river.Well worth seeking out though.A 1940's theme place in a very old cottage.History is on back of the menu.Great range of pies including some for veggies.I chose Steak and Ale and it was lovely.Big chunks of steak etc with a nice mash and good gravy.Waitress very friendly and I would definitely visit again.

What a quirky little place. It’s only a small place with only about 7 tables and dog friendly. The staff were really friendly. Placed our order and didn’t have to wait very long for it to arrive. It was very tasty and served nice and hot ! Can definitely recommend you try it. The music playing in the background takes you back in time too.

We visited on a Tuesday evening and were able to walk in. Choice of 9 pies and 3 puddings are on the menu. We had homity pie and steak and ale pie along with a coffee and dandelion and burdock and listened to Vera Lynn whilst we ate. Quirky venue surrounded with mementos from 1940/50s.

This is second time we have eaten at the Humble Pie n Mash, and both times have been absolutely fantastic! The food is just delicious, and the service, in particular this time round,was excellent. The young man that looked after us, was brilliant, and made my mum the best cup of tea she's had to date. He was the waiter to a full room of customers, and he handled it really well. We will definitely be back!

I love pie and had humble pie at the top of my list when we headed to Whitby. Lovely little place, service was good and the food was fab! If you love pie you should go!

Can't fault this place, great 40's50's sound track

Absolutely delicious food and very friendly and quick service. Limited seating.

Brilliant place, absolutely worth visiting whenever in Whitby.

Best takeaway in Whitby. Delicious food. Worth the wait

We always call here when on holiday at Whitby and we have never had a bad meal and this visit was no different. The young man serving on could not have been more helpful and the answer to all requests was ‘no problem’. The food is what it says on the tin but a simple idea done very well. Once again we were too full to have a pudding but one day we will have to give them a try as they look so good.

Amazing. Simply amazing. Came out nearly faster than I chose a seat. The pie was as humble and delicious as anyone could possibly ask for. Would 100% recommend to anyone in Whitby or even Yorkshire. In fact no the UK this place is worth the travel.
