Nags Head in East Riding of Yorkshire

All staff very friendly courteous and polite. Accommodating to small changes in menu to suit individual tastes. Very dog friendly which makes it’s easy and a pleasure to be able to go out and enjoy a meal with our family when we are staying at our holiday home on a nearby holiday park.

We had a large party of 14 and was pleasantly surprised that the staff member on duty was more than happy to come to the table and take our order, rather than having to order at the bar, which is more the norm for this establishment. A great time was had by all and the food was of a high standard. A minor (mistake?) where some onion rings were placed on a meal instead of as side orders was very quickly and efficiently handled, leaving no room for any complaints. I would definitely use The Nags Head at Routh again as a great evening was had by all present.

Great service, lovely food, worth a visit

Great staff and food well up to scratch

Fairly average food but nice atmosphere and excellent service.

Was very quiet when we arrived. Food was nice

Beautiful food. Service was great, Jenny was very pleasant and attentive. Nice atmosphere and not over crowded. Great experience over all.

Food very poor, steak pie had no meat in it, and chicken and mushroom pie had no chicken.... food just as bad as it was the last time we visited some 5 years ago, its taken us that long to pluck up the courage to try it again, as we only live 5 minutes away and pass the Nags Head daily.

Excellent service popped in on Saturday for a quick bite after a walk along the Beverley beck the atmosphere was chilled with music in the background and all staff welcoming and polite the place was immaculately clean and all tables were set ready for the next customers. I ordered my food using the QR code on the table and I made a mistake with my burger accidentally choosing the lighter option and they swapped it over no problem at all and very promptly so I could still eat with my partner I’m so impressed with the quality of the food and the staff. We will definitely return thank you Nags Head team 🐴

Great value for money for pub grub

Great menu, excellent food, helpful staff and very clean.

Great atmosphere and food was amazing - we had a carvery which offered a lot of options

Shocking experience today ordered a large carvery and regular carvery as well as a portion of fries for a child Only one server on carvery which took almost 20 mins to get food And then to top it all off waited 48 mins for the fries which when was missed and when turned up came wrong and I was made to be the bad customer not ideal nags head sort your staff out ridiculous I have been coming for years This was posted Sunday 23rd March 2025 Table 13 1.30pm table booking Sadly I will no longer come to This establishment again you don't treat customers like crap simple as very poor quality and folks around us all felt the same ( didn't know anyone) but nobody would be returning

Overpriced food served Luke warm

Friendly atmosphere and good food

We past this place all the time on the way to skipsea sands and thought we would try it finally, the wife had the mixed grill and loved it and I had the steak pie it's was lovely, both meals were very generous portions and filling even though we had room for a dessert each. We walked out the there very fulfilled and will 100% definitely return again👍

Always a warm welcome and always tasty food.

Bit slow on a Saturday but Sunday carvery was best I have ever had

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from senior male staff (manager?) rude shouting stamping his feet. WE had booked too, let us order drinks told no more food at all, said we had booked gave in & told us food would be nearly 2 hrs luckily it wasn't.

Just like to say, we visited this pub or restaurant this evening and found it very bizarre that you had to order at the bar and when going to the bar they told us they was a 20 minute or half an hour wait for starters as they are having difficulty in the kitchen we ordered starters and the starters was absolutely ridiculous. We ordered the buttermilk chicken strips that were very spicy when pulling the lady up about them she said she went and checked the packaging and said it says butter milk chicken strips so I asked for the allergen paper and she said you need to look online after the starters the main came out we ordered two gammon with egg and pineapple you couldn’t even put a fork into the chips. There was that dry and hard the tasted disgusting. So we got up went to the bar and asked for a full refund honestly I feel sorry for the staff of the establishment as it is a beautiful place usually it used to have table service. We will not be returning to this restaurant again it needs sorting out as the place will eventually close down if the service and the food carries on like that I’m really sorry I didn’t want to leave a negative review but I thought other people should know

Myself and my family had a lovely meal for my brother's birthday. The staff are lovely and welcoming and overall my experience was excellent

Have attended this pub quite regular. Over the past 3 months the service has gone downhill. More often than not there are items on the menu that are not available. On our most recent visit the coffee machine was either not working or had been cleaned down meaning that our designated driver could not have a drink. Surely the staff could have offered the option of having an instant coffee. After all they are in the business of being a hospitality venue. The another annoying thing was that even though the pub is advertised as being open till 11pm at 9pm the pub was closing and we couldnt get another round of drinks. Yet other patrons were in the pub consuming food and drink. So disappointing and we wont be rushing back. Come on Nags Head you got to do better.

Always great food the steak and ale pie is amazing had a great night despite they had a water leak issue the staff and service was fantastic always have great experience when we are there

Very quick service and nice food. Plenty of space at the table for our 2 dogs to lie down.

Great place warm and cosy on a winters evening - good food and service and value for money

Very efficient and welcoming staff. Hot and delicious food. Pleasant atmosphere. Not many brats running about and no dogs. Perfect!

First time visiting the Nag's head having recently moving into the area. First impressions we're good, it was clean, nicely decorated, plenty of seating choices and friendly staff. We ordered some food which was really nice and we will be visiting again soon.

The staff were all friendly and helpful. The food came quickly despite been told it was an half hour wait. All the food was hot when served and was delicious.

Had a wonderful visit highly recommend

The carvery was amazing and it was possibly the best Carvey that we've ever had also the gentleman serving the carvery was super friendly . Where would Hayley recommend the Nags Head

Came today (16/2) to try the carvery after a nice lunch on 27th December. It was absolutely lovely. For people that did not want carvery, the food came out all at the same time then people who wanted carvery could get theirs. The carvery was all delicious. We have paid a lot more for a lot less and not as good quality. It was fresh and tasty. My share was £54 for 2x carvery and 2 x main meals, we all agreed it was amazing value for what we had. Staff were just lovely and couldn't do enough to help. Thank you and we will be back soon.

I had the fish and chips recently and it was far from the best l have had.I wish now that l had gone to a proper fish and chip shop and at £14.99 it wasn't good value.I won't be going there again.

Great for kids meals. Good service. Small climbing frame helps distract kids until food ready. Much improved since new landlords took over at beginning of 2825.

I enjoy the friendly atmosphere. The food is good and the staff are always friendly.

We sometimes come for the Sunday carvery when visiting family in Hornsea, but today we called for an early evening meal, it's always clean and tidy and the staff are very pleasant, the food was lovely and tasty.

The perfect Guinness Pour from Ash, great pub great prices. Food was amazing and the service was very fast

The food was lovely. We recently visited red sails who always have the same menu and I have to say nags head was so much nicer and better cooked. The new landlady was very welcoming and helpful, we will definitely return.

Clean and reasonably priced. Good food with daily meal and drink deals

Lovely pub, great food at sensible prices and a friendly, helpful service. Thank you!

It was a lovely experience with fabulous food. I had the curry, it was a Wednesday, and it was superb...and so much! Unfortunately, I had no room for pudding but there's always another day! The staff were attentive and the place was clean and tidy Wonderful first experience.

Really love coming here large menu and food is always good Even got 30% off main meals with the loyalty card

I've been going to nags head for around 10 years. I have never had a bad experience. Great staff, lovely atmosphere, amazing food and a terrific drink selection. Recommend to anyone and everyone

Jenny and Beth and all the team were lovely. Made our visit special. Thank you so much.

Beautiful carvery , very traditional and great service . Highly recommended.

Staff really friendly and helpful, delicious food at a reasonable price.

Been visiting this place every time we come on holiday! good value for money and friendly staff.

Great food excellent service. Good value for money

Several items on the menu unavailable so had to settle for alternatives which weren't really what we were looking forward to. Also food not as hot as it should have been.

We love the place usually but food was stone cold, plates stone cold, poor quality compared to normal. Very small mushrooms 3, 2 onion rings, half a small tomato and steak was rare but poorly cooked and cold. Should be served on a hot plate and steak pie was cold! Small amount of peas. Small jacket pot!! We got 30% off but that should not reflect in the quality of food served. So we were disappointed and wondered WHO had cooked the food as it was quiet in there, just one man serving doing everything until another man appeared later!!

Don't bother with Christmas Day food. It's a very expensive glorified carvery. Tables not even decorated apart from a cheap cracker. Even the reservation slips were just printed out on a bit of paper. Zero effort had gone into making this special for people and there was zero atmosphere. A complete and utter waste of money

Just returned from a fantastic boxing day lunch! We had a mixture of 2 and 3 courses from the festive menu, couldn't fault any of it. Lovely carvery, lots of choice, good options for vegetarian and vegans, overall a great meal out. Have also been recently on both Sundays for a carvery and mid week for burgers. Had great, home cooked food every time. The staff are worth a special mention as well for their great, friendly service. Nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend 👌

Food and service was very good. Not many people sa atmosphere was little down.

Nice pleasant atmosphere & good service by staff

Good food, good vibes and staff helpful

Great carvery. Clean, warm and welcoming pub. Lovely staff.

Amazing experience, thank you so much for all your support for our group meal!

Lovely food, great service and friendly staff

We visit fairly regularly but yesterday was not a good visit. 3 of my party had steak and 2 of them were tough. Waitress came and asked if everything was okay and my friend explained hers was tough. She was offered a different knife !! The steak was sent back and after 15 minutes another one appeared. My friend had purchased an additional sauce but we were advised we would have to pay for another even though it had been poured on the substandard steak. Very poor customer service. There was one table of approx 16 but other than that minimal people in the pub. My husband also stated that the gents toilets were disgusting with a smell emanating before you reached the outer door. As they are very near the carvery that is most unacceptable. We may not visit again.

2nd time I have visited and good experience

Great food, friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere

On a very cold day, The Nags Head was lovely, warm and welcoming. We ordered the carvery and a lovely bottle of Sauv Blanc. The carvery was delicious. The Turkey and Beef succulent, huge Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and big selection of veg. The gravy was really tasty too. Had a great visit and enjoyed every minute.

Fantastic Sunday Carvery, lovely bustling place, great service.

Food part cooked could have thrown cauliflower at the wall and it would have put a hole in it meat tasted sour won't be returning for a carvery ever

Lived up to expectations. Good gluten free options, dog friendly and a lunch time deal too!

Super atmosphere, food and service thank you!

Excellent service and food. l would definitely recommend.

The pub it's self was very nice and clean, staff friendly and helpful. We just didn't really like the food sorry

Lovely atmosphere and seated straight away. Dog friendly for our little pup

very nice place first time in recommend the pub Food is good service, good and reasonably priced.could have been done with a bit more soup in Bowl. It was nice soup 🍲 we will be back again.

Popped in for a bite of lunch. The pub is dog friendly which is the main reason we stopped here. Food here was nice and friendly service.

Really nice pub good service and great menu

Great food. Lovely Staff, Very reasonably priced

Visited Sunday and other week evenings Staff welcoming and friendly Sunday roast,the gammon and beef and veg really tasty and fresh.

Clean and tidy and food was great along with the service

The food was lovely and was quite busy for a Sunday night. Would go there again.

We booked in advance, a nice , pleasant restaurant, good food well presented, reasonable prices , we will be going again ,

We both decided to have the curry special that was on offer and it was delicious. The portion was a great size, served along with nan bread, poppadom and mango chutney it was delicious and we will definitely be having this again. The staff were friendly and the pub itself, even though we went early, had a good feel to it and was clean. Would highly recommend a visit

Great food great place and great value for money

Fantastic food and great friendly service

Great food. Good service. Clean and well priced

OK kind of place. Nothing special.

Love this pub, always great meals at good value. Cosy and friendly atmosphere.

Excellent carvery today. All the staff go above and beyond to make your meal the best. Very helpful with my client who has dementia, especially chef who even helped me carry food to the table. My client loves all the staff as they are so friendly which is a bonus.

Amazing food and amazing service

Great place for live music and new year party

Steak and ale pie was excellent. The Hunter's chicken was missing the BBQ sauce. £9.75 for a glass of wine a bit steep!

Excellent service ,very polite and a clean homely pub! food was exceptional too, whilst we was there we also purchased 2 of the poppy glasses too which is something so close to hearts this was so amazing to see we will definitely be back 😀

Lovely place to eat. Food was great!

Fabulous food - attentive staff overall couldn’t fault it

I booked a table for a large party for a birthday and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was good, the service was excellent and everyone had a lovely time.

Very helpful and friendly, food was lovely

We have been here before and found it extremely good Today's visit has reinforced our 5* review. Thankyou all Yvonne

very welcoming place with great food and helpful staff

Best carvery I have ever had. Its a Sunday thing now!!

Excellent service and the food was delicious Very friendly staff

lovely food and great portions on the carvery. fast service

Great improvement, Staff, Menu and atmosphere all on the up, with the exception of the sticky tables, maybe place drinks mats and improve wiping down

Haven't visited since it was a 2for1 pub. Popped in on the off chance we would get a table as we were nearby. I was pleased that there was a carvery that I didn't know the pub did. The choice on the carvery and the quality of the cooking was amazing. The Yorkshire puddings were the size of my head! Really friendly staff who said you can go back and help yourself to the carvery veg as much as you want. Really good value for money - delicious carvery and I will definitely visit again :)

Great value superb Sunday lunch.
