Humble Pie 'n' Mash in Scarborough

As a couple, we had been highly recommended to try this place. When we arrived, luckily there was no queue and we found a seat straight away. We had been warned that it gets very busy, so to expect to have to wait. The server was extremely friendly and very attentive. Considering she was the only one greeting, taking orders and serving, she did an amazing job. We could not fault the service at all. I can't say that there was an atmosphere as such, but an enjoyable visit. We ordered a pie each, one with mash and one without. One with mushy peas, one with garden peas. When they came, they both had mushy peas. It was no issue to have the plate taken away and changed, immediately being brought back to us. However, we can't say we were overly enamoured with the pies, or the mash. The mash was flavourless. Could have done with a little bit of seasoning, and being more creamy. It was bland and tasted quite starchy and watery. The steak & ale pie was also very bland. It consisted of only steak, gravy and pastry. We would have thought there would have been some mushroom or onion, or both in with it. The sausage and black pudding pie, also very bland. There was just a wedge of sausage meat, with 3 tiny specks of black pudding in it. Considering the pies are made with locally sourced products, we felt they were almost like frozen pies that had been heated up. Although the review probably feels like it's all negative, that is not the point I am trying to make. Just a few hints for the business to maybe improve on. We are pleased we have finally managed to visit. And would go again in the future.

Amazing food, service and staff. The vintage vibe is awesome. Love it.

Brilliant atmosphere , good home made food , pies are unreal 👌 😋, an old fashioned place and values, great service

A charming little spot that truly lives up to its name. The pie was excellent—rich, flavorful, and perfectly baked. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the mushy peas, not usually my go-to! The atmosphere was something special—like stepping into a time machine. Quaint, cozy, and full of character.

Not what it's cracked up to be, food was ok but I just can't see what all the fuss is about the pies don't taste any better than what you get at shop. But what really let's this place down Is the chaotic service and not listening to what you are ordering which leads to your orders being wrong. If you want to try it here do so but I bet you won't be returning in a hurry

I absolutely loved Humble Pie n Mash. The food, although simple and limited choice, was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The real attraction for me was the decor. They have fully embraced the history of the building and everything in there is pre 1950s. It felt like visiting my grandparents. Can't wait to go again

Great little place. Visited over the Easter bank holiday so was obviously busy but the lady doing the serving down a sterling job and was very friendly and accomodating throughout.

They have a vegan/vegetarian option, enjoyed it immensely

I had the steak and ale pie and husband had the chicken and cider pie. Lovely chunky pieces of tender meat, pastry was fab too. I loved that there was a backstory to the building and such a oldy worldy treasure.

It's a lovely, attractive place. I love pies but disappointingly the pies we had were quite bland and they had actually run out of mash!

My husband and I had the the most wonderful meal here. We both had the slow braised steak and stout pie, mash and peas. The pastry was amazing and the large chunks of steak and gravy were out of this world. The staff were very friendly and welcomed us and our dog, The room itself is quite small but that adds to the feel of the place and was very relaxed. There were lots of old, interesting artifacts around the room. The music was more wartime which was in keeping with the feel of the place and really nice to listen too. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. 5 star all the way!!!

A superb vintage experience. Pies in enamel bowls. Forties music. Superb! Everything about the place is so authentic and memorable

I absolutely loved the vibe and the whole theme of it❤️. Tiny place but with a huge atmosphere and the most delicious, mouthwatering delicious 🥧 pies you could wish for. With the best melt in mouth pastry I've had and chunks of tasty 🥩 steak filling my pie and smooth buttery mash topped with loads of meaty gravy, it was a great way to end a lovely holiday in Whitby Totally recommend a visit

Disfrutamos de un almuerzo encantador en esta misma gente y restaurante que acepta perros. Incluso mi perro tiene una salchicha jajaja. La primera vez que visite pero no será la última visita.

Atmospheric war time themed pie shop. Good value at 13.99 for pie, mash and peas with extra gravy . Dog friendly. Cosy and comfortable

The pie itself was ok. The mash, however, was bland and was an unpleasant consistency. The jam roly poly lacked jam it was hard and dry. And the custard was watery (needed milk).

Wow fantastic food, fantastic service, and fantastic decor. We both loved our pies and had enough room for a pudding too! The best pies we have ever had!

Had to try this while in Whitby and wasn't disappointed service was friendly and helpful and the place has a warm feel to it, went for the braised steak and stout pie with mash and peas and it was bloody wonderful very warming and comfy kind of food 10/10 for the pie, I had to have Jam Roly Poly and custard for pudding and what a portion size it was perfect in every way, you want a nice warm and comfy food with m friendly staff and great food then you have to try this

You have to go here if you’re in Whitby. If there’s a queue, wait in line. It’s worth the wait.

This is the best place to eat in Whitby! Good selection of delicious pies served traditionally with mash potatoes, peas and gravy. There is something for your little ones too. Service is always great and friendly. And the decor will move you in time for decades in the past. Definitely worth the wait in the queue if there is one.

This place is an absolute smash. I loved the vegan meal, the service and atmosphere were awesome. It's in an ancient building which has been a bakery for something like 400 years. Captain Cook probably ate here (he lived just down the street for 9 years). Pie and mash is the real definitive British working class food, even more than fish and chips. Don't miss it.

Great little pie shop in Whitby with lots of old artifacts from the past. Highly recommend the steak pie it was incredible, best mash potato I've ever had! Worth a visit 😀

Excelente entorno y ambiente, personal muy amable y servicial y delicioso pastel y puré! Tuvimos una deliciosa cena a un precio muy razonable y sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que estemos en Whitby. Hay mucho que decir por hacer algo simple pero hacerlo muy bien.

Really nice food and lovely service would recommend

What an interesting place, like walking back in time with the bonus of a spot on pie and mash.

We loved this place, the roaring fire was very welcoming. The atmosphere, the food served in the enamel dishes, the decor and the music was just right. It felt like we had gone back in time. We all enjoyed the food, choosing different pies, all were great and very filling, no air pocket pies to be seen 👍😊 .

Everything was perfect from the food to the service. The black pudding and sausage pie was incredible.

Best pie n mash shop ever. Love this place, been here a few times and the food is superb. Simple but tasty

Simple food done really well, the staff were friendly and helpful. The decor and particularly the music is a very welcome change to what’s offered in most other cafes. It’s well priced too. Im not sure what the 1 star reviewers were expecting “I went into a pie n mash shop and to my surprise they were serving pie n mash.” Idiots! Without doubt my go to food option when I’m in Whitby.

Over priced children's meal sausages too spicy. My nephew found @ hairs in his meal one was a human hair the other a dog hairs. When dogs shake their hair flies all over. STOP all this 'dog friendly' trend it's disgusting. The place itself was very quaint & we loved the antiques. Won't visit again though

Absolutely fabulous. After seeing online reviews on a Visit Whitby face page, this was on our "must try" list. Super friendly waitress and delicious food (we both had the steak & stout pie), we even called back later on for jam roly poly as it looked too good to miss! If you love pie, this place is a must! Be warned though, there's only 9 tables, so get there early if you want lunch and hope for the best! We were lucky that a couple were leaving, as we walked in. (The empty photo is from 3pm when we called back for pudding!)

Wheelchair accessible, friendly staff and amazing food. Great little find. ❤️

Food was fantastic and had a really nice homemade and wholesome feel to it. Very original and oldie worldview in its feels. Lots of original features of the building and an incredible amount of history. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I had the mince beef and onion pie with mash, gravy and mushy peas with some of the relish. Would recommend. My partner had the corned beef pie with mash, gravy and mushy peas and again, would recommend. We left the restaurant very full with no room for dessert. Charming little place and would recommend.

Nice atmosphere, quaint with excellent staff but pie wasn't great, steak was very chewy mash was tasty but lumpy mushy peas were ok.not sure I would revisit

This was my boyfriend's and my first time visiting Whitby, and the pies at this restaurant were absolutely delicious! The small shop was packed with people during lunch, but the food was served very quickly. Everything was so tasty—I highly recommend it!

Delicious pie which we took away for tea, lovely friendly staff and a warm and cosy atmosphere. Authentic and excellent.

Lovely little place. Good quality food and great old school atmosphere. Will visit again when in Whitby I am sure.

We enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere was really good

Absolutely love this place! The food was amazing, the girl who served us was lovely and it's so nice to be able to look at all the 1940's decor.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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. 👍

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

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!!!

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 :)

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

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’

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.

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.
