Humble Pie 'n' Mash in Scarborough

Our favourite place when we visit Whitby ❤️

Fantastic food. So tasty. Staff very nice too. Deffo recomend.

Home made pies, mash, peas and gravy. Proper old fashioned puddings with proper custard. Whitby's best kept little secret.

Easy to find. Cosy atmosphere. Polite yet friendly service. Excellent food at a regular price. Well worth a visit.

Just what we needed on a cold, breezy Whitby day. The pie and mash, with mushy peas, were marvellous; washed down with a mug of Yorkshire tea. Service was excellent. Thank you.

A really cozy & interesting place to eat, looking at all the old items found in the building. It was a nice change from all the fish & chip shops. Staff were lovely and service super quick. The portion sizes were generous & tasted so nice! Would definitely recommend, I would visit again in the future!

Absolutely loved this quirky eatery, it was like stepping back in time. Pies are delicious with plenty of choice. Customer service was first class

To say this cafe specialises in and only serves pies and mash, it was extremely disappointing. I don’t often post reviews, but feel this one is necessary. Chicken and leek pie was extremely lacking in chicken - as in 2 pieces, the main ingredients were salt (far too much of) and leeks, in sauce. Steak and kidney pie - which was listed in the menu as being slow cooked, was minced beef and if kidney was present, it could not be tasted. Mash (the only accompaniment option), was lumpy. Needless to say won’t be returning!

We called in this little gem of a cafe for lunch Read so many good reviews about it.Was not disappointed It was all we expected it to be.My husband had the steak and kidney and l had the steak and ale pie, both with mash mushy peas and gravy.Excellent portion size.Also had the jam roll poly with custard and could have fed half of Whitby with it.The lovely chap who served us kindly offered to box half of it up for us as it was too good to leave 😋 Very polite staff, would highly recommend 😀

Just for a change we said no to fish and chips. Great decision, absolutely one of Whitby's best kept little secrets. Fantastic pies. Great atmosphere and haven't enjoyed pie, peas, mash & gravy like this for years. Homely restaurant, like my grans old kitchen, it's a real trip down memory lane.

Delicious food with excellent veggie and vegan options. Lovely decor giving you an insight into the history of the building. Just note that the mash has dairy in for any vegans/dairy intolerant people! But everything is delicious even without

Was a nice change,food and staff nice Opens at 12.....their timepiece was obviously running slow more like 10 past....but there is thoughtfully a bench outside They don't accept bookings.

Unique themed cafe with interesting artefact’s from the buildings’ past. 10/10 pies and excellent mushy peas. We popped in on a Friday lunchtime and got a table easily. Great staff - very attentive.

First time we've been here. Will definitely be back. The food was delicious. Service was great too. This place is brilliant it's like a war time cafe.

Loved the fire on a wet afternoon. Pies were tasty although very little cheese on the goats cheese one. Overall a good experience.

Absolutely delicious food, great service. Place was so cold though, could definitely do with some proper heating in there

Went for a meal at lunchtime. Great value for money. Pies are full to the brim withe great ingredients. A filling meal. I would recommend if you are in the area and they are open go in and try them out.

Excellent. Great 1940s wartime-themed café, including music from the era.

I had read good reports about Humble Pie so had to check them out when I was next in Whitby and I wasn't disappointed. Polite friendly service in a 1940's themed building which has been around since Charles 1st was on the throne! A wide selection of pies to choose from which arrived quickly and tasted great, there is a good chance I'll be back for more before heading home to Scotland.

Great food. 100% good service great atmosphere. 👍👍👍

Had a take away chicken and leek pie. Get your chef kiss out or any other gesture you have for say perfect 👌🤌 was so good I went back and bought two more pies for tomorrow. Some may say bit over the top but I live 1h 20m away so I think it's forward thinking!

Lovely pies, we've been a few times, can be a bit of a wait for pies but it's not fast food place, definitely worth a visit

I'm sure the food here is amazing, but unfortunately after travelling from Hull to Whitby earlier today the shop was closed, although on Google showed you was open until 7:30pm? I'm sure the food is lovely, but it may be a good idea to update you're Internet opening times to further avoid other wary travelers the same heartbreak I felt today. Alas, I will be back, the pies looks to good not to😋

No comments except it's not open Didn't respond to my email enquiry earlier this week

Nice pie shop. No frills. Service could be a little better. We'd been sat for a while and when eventually we were approached to be served we were told there were no garden peas. We really should have been told thst from the off, not ten minutes after arrival. A second customer came in and was sat waiting to be served for 15 minutes. In fairness the waiter did tell her he'd forgotten about her. But given there were only three of us in there, it really wasn't great service. I'd still go back though, this was an off day.

I really loved this little place, and the food was delicious. There were two vegan options for pie which is great, however, I was then told that the mash was not vegan. I was gutted, this seems such an easy fix. I was told that I could phone in advance if I was visiting again and they would have vegan mash available. Again, great but why not just make the mash vegan?

A taste of the past - food and setting. Delicious pies.

The pie was burnt and I had to look for the beef under the pie. Overall, I didn't like it. For a similar price, I ate much tastier pie nearby.

Great little pie & mash shop. No bookings, just turn up and get the next available table. Good range of tasty pies with mash and garden or mushy peas. Well presented in theme, with 40s & 50 style music. Fascinating old building with old artifacts on display. Really enjoyed & would go back. Makes a change from fish n chips in Whitby.

Fantastic pies served in tin dish..like old times x

Absolutely outstanding food and atmosphere and service

Fantastic food very friendly and excellent service DOG FRIENDLY

Loved it, good wholesome freshly made food Quaint olde cafe, with odd tables with plastic tablecloth, odd chairs and benches, original old working fire range that was warm and cosy. The waiter was friendly and polite and seemed to really enjoy his job. The food was amazing, vegan mushroom and ale pie was delicious. Steak and ale pie, I was told was outstanding. The roasted veg and chickpea also very highly rated, all with peas and mash and lovely gravy. A real gem and alternative to fish and chips. Definitely worth a visit.

1st time visiting today, me and the wife had the vegan pie, but as my wife is strictly vegan she couldn't have the mash which is a shame, the pie the mash and the peas all exceptional, the young lad waiting on the tables was brilliant, he never missed a beat. It was our 1st visit but it certainly won't be our last

Cozy place to warm up with Pie & Mash. Very nice food, in old surroundings It's like eating in a place in history. Friendly & polite staff.

Superb food, very relaxed and top non intrusive service. Recommended

Loved it good food must go and try all done out in the nineteen 50 still go for it just adding this just bean back after two years and still as the first time

Lovely homemade pies absolutely fantastic, coudnt fault any of it, the shop has really old things like old fashioned telephone, furniture & even camp coffee on the menu 10/10 from me defo go there again when back up Whitby

lovely atmosphere & staff, best food we’ve had in years!! would definitely recommend & will be back very soon, love this place!

Lovely little place.. came here 15yrs ago on our honeymoon. Enjoyed the food very much today. Had the vegan pies delicious

Very good food in a 40's themed cafe Very good

A very quaint place like were time has stood still,We both had the steak n kidney pie mash and peas with pot of tea.It was served in metal bowl,there are lots of memrobilia back to the war years which we enjoyed very much.Are meal was very enjoyable the pie had so much meat in it.We were so full we had no room left for our dessert of jam roly poly and custard which I regret now!!This place is well worth a visit when you visit Whitby.

The atmosphere is lovely and homely also walking through the door feels like you have stepped back in time to the 1930s/40s ...and the food is so simple but absolutely delicious 👌👌

Fabulously quirky place.. a gem!

A great place to eat, small but cosy. The young lad that served us was absolutely brilliant ,if I could have given him more stars it would have been 10/10. My partner and I are both vegan,and knowing that they had vegan options,thought it would be perfect for a hot Sunday lunch on a cold day. The pie (wild mushroom and ale) was sublime,richly filled and pastry perfection. However, I just can't get my head round why they cannot put vegan mash with their vegan pies? You are only able to order pie and peas. If you are capable of making a vegan pie taste so delicious,then making vegan mash should be a walk in the park ? I get you must make a batch of regular mash, but surely some could be taken from that batch and finished with plant based butter and cream,as their are some excellent substitutes for butter and cream now. It did disappoint,it's a pie and mash cafe ? You can't have one without the other ,even though we had no choice today.

Absolutely love this place. Their pies are amazing.

Delicious food and atmosphere really is a quirky place to eat

Always a favourite when we're in Whitby. Lovely food, great service and reasonably priced.

Really fun place to go and eat. Very lucky to find this place.

Love my pie and mash lovely service by

Having been to Humble Pie N Mash recently, I can honestly say that the charm and standards of the first visit were still evident. The food is comforting, especially on a rainy day. It is like going back in time to the 40's. The server was attentive, but not in your face. He took our order the literally 5 to 10 minutes later, the hot steaming food arrived. As Arnie days, 'I' ll be back!'.

If you love pie mash and peas (mushy or garden) and traditional puddings, this is the place. Food was delicious and served piping hot, which is a refreshing change from other places. Loved the 1940 vibe with Vera Lyn playing in the background. Shame the service let the place down, no greeting as entered the door no directions as to where to sit. Perhaps this was a one-off, but I didn't feel very welcome. Otherwise, great food.

The wife and I ate here on the 20th Oct '23, which was a VERY wet day. 1st off, the log fire was a god send. It was nice n cosy, thawed us out a bit and dried our jackets. The server was polite, and the service was pretty quick. I had chicken, bacon and mushroom and my wife had steak n kidney. They were both home made and very very good. Reccommended

Welcoming , tasty and lots of choices. Great service!

Does what it says on the tin. Great history of the place, good food and service. Part of the Whitby experience.

Love this place, simple dishes of pie, mash and peas. The do also have sausage if you don't fancy pie. They had 2 veggie and 2 vegan pies so everyone catered for. I had jam roll poly with custard afterwards and it was awesome. Very small place though so sometimes hard to get a seat but they do takeaway as well, so on a nice day it's a great meal to have whilst enjoying the views

Lovely little place, great pie n mash...with the perfect addition of their Hendersons relish which is on every table...highly recommend!

Amazing service from a young man there. Polite, helpful and an absolute great person. I felt amazing being sat inside and was speedy. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING! absolutely so homely feeling and beautifully made. I felt like my grandmother just made me one of her most delicious meals! And it was SO CHEAP!!!!!! The only down side is that I can't go EVERY DAY because I'm going to miss this place! Honestly the best food in Whitby!

Very nice restaurant. The pies were amazing as well as the mash and gravy all 10/10 The Young lad Waiting on us did an excellent to job

Nicely done basic, homely old style food and drinks.

Half decent meal. The Pie (steak kidney) was excellent. Mash was OK, but tinned Bigga mushy peas let the meal down for me. For the price, I'd have expected some decent mushy peas. Nice inside, but very small tables. No alcohol served either.

Simple idea, very well delivered Chose which pie to have with mash, peas and gravy and away you go, the food was great quality topped off with a mug of tea. Only 8 or 9 tables so you may have to wait but well worth it

Fantastic pies, and a good choice. Lovely atmosphere

Wanted to try this last year but it was closed, made a point of visiting again this year while it was open. It’s a gorgeous little place with lots of 40’s memorabilia and artefacts to take you back to the good old days! I had the steak & ale pie and my husband had the chicken & bacon pie, both were absolutely delicious, definitely homemade as stated as was the mashed potato and mushy peas! We also had the jam roly poly & custard (to share as it was a large portion!) again this was delicious and took me back to childhood memories of my favourite suet school puddings! It is only small inside but a very busy little place with one table leaving and another group waiting to be seated. My only thought was I would have liked my food to have been a bit warmer, it was just about warm enough for me to not mention it but may not be for others, again only a small issue. Service was brilliant, we did have to wait, but understandably, as it was busy with only 1 staff member but we were well looked after and wouldn’t hesitate to return!

Great nostalgic place! Food brilliant!!

Great place dating back to 16th century fab antiques they have on display found from behind walls on modernising, worth a visit

Great proper food great attention in genuinely historic building and great wartime music too

Great food. Great atmosphere. Great music.

Very enjoyable experience. Food was good, hot and very tasty with real mushy peas.

very traditional pie! very historical restaurant running for hundreds years!

Brilliant atmosphere, Fab service and delicious food with lots of choice. Can't wait for our next visit .

We've eaten here on a few occasions and the food is good quality. Always get there early to make sure that they can accomodate our large dog. Ate there last Saturday and not sure if there has been a change of owner - the mash was lumpier than my personal preference, but it was still nice. However they serve Vegan pies, vegan gravy but don't do vegan mash - someone asked if they did and just got a blunt no - no offer to reduce the price for pie and peas only. Come on Humble Pie - surely you can do Vegan mash or even offer boiled potatoes for people.

Great place, excellent food & very friendly staff!

wonderful little place! quite small so we had to wait outside for a moment to be seated but not for very long, and we served quite soon after sitting. we got the roast veg & goats cheese pie, and the steak & ale pie, both with garden peas (you get a choice of garden or mushy!). both absolutely delicious and nice big portion sizes. loved the atmosphere as well, really cosy 1940s vibe with period music playing!

Had 2 fab pies here last night followed by jam roly poly. 5*

Interesting restaurant al based around its own amazing history and set up like a war time cafe. We had the Goats Cheese and veg pie and the chicken leek pie which were both delicious. Big servings and very filling and a good price too. I’d definitely recommend a visit here as the food was great. Only marked it down as the young lad serving dis-interested and bored and came across as quite rude.

I had homemade pie with mashed potatoes and mushy peas. It tasted great and was completely authentic, honest English cuisine. The atmosphere is very cozy, with soft music from the 20s to 40s of the last century. The guest room is small and simply furnished but clean. The building dates back to the 17th century Century and has been lovingly restored. If you want something other than seafood or fish at an attractive price then this place is an interesting option.

What a find and the food was excellent 👌

Fantastic, no frills, all perfect

Came here for a last meal before we left whitby to go home and was not disappointed, food was incredible and the service and atmosphere was great, we had the Vegan Wild Mushroom and Ale Pie with Mash Potato, Mushy Pies and Gravy which was sensational, tasted like you're Grandma or Mum cooked it with love and the fact that they were play old wartime music while you ate topped it off for me, I'd definitely come back next time and everytime

Gem of a restaurant in the heart of Whitby. The food here is wholesome and delicious, whilst its charming atmosphere makes this place a perfect location for a romantic meal for two. A glass of milk and dessert is a must!

A cosy place with a lovely atmosphere, young lad serving was friendly and did an amazing job, the food was delicious. Love it ❤️

Amazing family run business serving the best pie, mash and peas. Good choice for vegetarians and vegans. While we were there they managed to accommodate a guest in a wheelchair and young couple with a new born baby. It seemed that they went out of their way to help everyone. Would recommend a visit here.

Beautiful food and the service was fantastic, even with some customers demanding seats from the poor waiter. Would have liked to see vegan mash or chips as an option for my wife hence the 4 stars. If vegan, please bear this in mind as you pay full price even though you get no mash.

We always like it here. Lovely friendly smiley moustachy man serving. Got to know us as we went in several times over our stay... we she the ones that Wifey always wants more gravy!!! 😃 small suggestion ... stock peppermint tea please 😉

Going into this little place is like stepping back in time. The food is amazing, humble and homemade like my Grandma used to do. My partner had the steak and ale pie and you could smell the ale as she cut into the pie. I had chicken and leek in a mustardy sauce, again incredible aroma and tasted beautiful. Simple homemade fare, done brilliantly. Wish I could eat here everyday. Thank you, Humble Pie and Mash!

Great food in a small but comfortable shop. Highly recommend.

By far the best place to eat in Whitby. Please make sure you leave room for pudding because they are as delicious as the pie and mash! Tbh I just had 2 puddings one time - I couldn't decide between them, so I skipped the pie and indulged!!! They even gave me extra custard!! The atmosphere takes you back in time, from the music to the decorations. I promise you will love it!

Honestly one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had.

What a gem. Wonderful service, charming and historic building and fantastic food! Such great value. Absolutely will be returning!

Fantastic place to have lunch or dinner. Humble pie is the name but the taste is pure perfection. Homemade in every way. This food warmed my heart and mind. Had the mince beef pie as takeaway and it was simply delicious. Easy to order online. Pastry, flavour and look is just as it should be. Mash was delicious too. Maybe portions could be slightly bigger, then again could be just me being little greedy and of course one has more room for dessert 😄 Warm recommendation !

I've never been but like to try those pies wondering if you do meat and potatoe pie

Saw this little place on tick-tock before our holiday. It didn't disappoint. Amazing pies and atmosphere.

This is a great little place, and perfect if you're not a fish and chips fan. Family run, busy with good food.

First time in this lovely retro little cafe. The food was delicious & worth going for the jam roly-poly alone, would highly recommend but as walk-ins only go early!

A tale of two halves .....the great selection of ours, all served with mash and peas, are delicious, and with a wide choice of flavours. We also had the Jan rocky poly, but we're disappointed with the lack of jam. The restaurant is in a historic building, and alot is made of the traceable history of it, but it's simultaneously let down due to have small and cramped nature of the self same building, giving a claustrophobic feeling. This may be the same cause as to why a single server is running around doing everything in the food area, and he does it well, but does mean you feel like your waiting constantly whijr he gets to you. While it's popularity speaks for itself, for me personally I will definitely order found for collection next time I'm in Whitby, but don't see me sitting in again

I enjoyed the place, I've been twice. I love the atmosphere and the music plus vintage decor is something out of a time machine! The one aspect that lets this place fail is its lack of choice for vegan/veggie eaters. I know pie isn't normally a staple for vegan or veggie eaters, but with only two options amongst the 9 available feels a tad poor. Not only that, only one option was available at the time when I attended. To go along with this, I visited with my family who all had mash, which, I couldn't have because they must have made it with an ingredient that isn't for the vegan diet. All of my family were appalled as mine was brought without it, as they, like myself, would have thought the mash be made ready to be eaten by any customer. Final notes: Great pies Great atmosphere Add at least one more vegan pie option Make that mash vegan friendly, or make a separate lot for us veggie/vegans, and you'll have plenty of customers flocking for it!

Best pie and mash I have ever eaten outside my Mum's kitchen. Great choices of pie, vegan and veggie options too. Decent cup of Yorkshire tea as well. 1940s decor and background music really well done. No alcohol, but great traditional soft drinks like Victorian lemonade, ginger beer and Dandelion & Burdock. Great traditional English puddings with proper custard too. Can't wait to go back and try a different pie.

Well worth a visit!! Lovely pies and friendly staff .... highly recommended

You have to try this place. Hommity pie and mash was superb
