OakWheel Pub in Scarborough

1st class roast dinner with 1st class service

The Oak Wheel is a quintessentially traditional Yorkshire pub. Log fires, fabulous menus and the rooms are lovely. The breakfast was the biggest and best we've had in years. Thank you to Shaun and Kate and of course the breakfast staff!!

We arrived on holiday, late, hungry and tired. Decided to pop in for a meal. It was a busy night, but staff were so helpful, friendly and accommodating. Everywhere was lovely and clean and the food was tasty, hot, good value and good portions. Would recommend!

Stopped here for one night in our motorhome and went in for a meal. Lovely pub with open fire, staff very welcoming. Food was absolutely the best iv had in a long time. I had the slow cooked belly pork and it was up there with the best iv ever had and believe me iv had a few. Hat off to the chef. Definitely recommend this pub 👌

When visiting Scarborough area this is a must visit pub.good service, excellent food and a lovely atmosphere. The staff are really good and attentive. Menu is varied but has all local pub favourites especially the pie which is stunning. Not had a bad meal in all the years we have used it and the beer is fantastic.

Very cosy pub. Excellent breakfasts. Friendly staff. Been twice now. Can't wait to go again

We had a nice meal at this very traditional pub. Lovely open fire and very cosy. Staff were nice and we got our meal fairly quick. Good range for vegetarian diners

Popped in for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Lovely place, great service, very reasonable prices.....and the food was absolutely delicious. All cooked fresh, hot, and plenty of it. Wonderful start to the day.

Dropped in for Sunday lunch on the off chance they would have a table We got lucky 🙂. Both had the Roast Beef dinner and it was delicious. Everything freshly cooked and piping hot. The Beef, Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes were absolutely delicious and portions were very generous including the accompanying vegetables. We will certainly call in again and are looking to book one of the pre-Christmas meals that are currently being advertised at a very competitive price.

Came for a meal last Sunday evening. Pub was a little cold but good service and really tasty traditional pub food. The chips and onion rings with our mains were all homemade and superb (which is to see when so many pubs will happily serve up frozen mccains) and my grandma’s pie was throughly enjoyed. Will definitely return if we come to scarborough again

Hemos visitado previamente la Rueda de Roble para bebidas y comida, este año llamamos para el desayuno y el sábado tuve la "Rueda Grande" y pudín negro, mi esposa tuvo la "Rueda de Roble". Que estaba excelente, cocinado a la perfección. El domingo tuve el huevo revuelto en tostadas, y mi esposa tuvo un Bacon Bap. De nuevo cocinado a la perfección. Recomendamos

We ate here on Saturday after walking to the village for a pint and deciding that we were hungry. They fitted us in on a very busy service and we thought the food and staff were excellent. Would definitely visit again.

Had Sunday lunch and we were surrounded by dogs. The food was good but felt uneasy with a huge dog on the table next to us. You need to indicate that you are human friendly and if you must keep dogs in a separate area. We have been coming to you on a very regular basis but will look elsewhere if you do not change. The service to pay our bill was very slow

We arrived accidentally at the dreaded time for a pub, ten mins before stopping serving food, but that didn't stop the staff being friendly, preparing 3 of us a fantastic meal. The fish and chips was hands down the best I've had in a pub, and the portions were massive. Fish was quality. Batter perfect. Pea-fection on the mushies. Nice TT Landlord pint, my benchmark for a good pub!

Lovely staff great food highly recommend

Very nice small local pub, with a decent size outdoor seating area. Dog friendly and welcoming

Fabulous menu & as others have said the Belly Pork was superb. The service was very good, friendly staff, nice homely atmosphere. We stayed over night & the room had everything you needed. The breakfast was very good & again a fabulous menu selection, The room was a little dated but clean with plenty of hot water, clean linen & towels. Our only criticism would be the bed is in need of a new mattress.

Spent 2 night's at The Oak Wheel Pub.From booking our room(requested a bath) to leaving this morning,everything was very good.A credit to Shaun and Kate.Your staff are very welcoming and friendly and nothing is to much trouble.We ate at the pub and food was lovely.

4 of us all enjoyed our different main courses. Thanks

Came to The Oak Wheel for dinner on 7/8/24 and what a great little find. There were 9 of us looking to come for dinner, and they managed to accommodate us at short notice. Across the table we had fish & chips, lasagne, burger, lamb flat bread, meat pie x2 and some childrens meals. All of it arrived hot and with a smile from the fantastic servers. Portion sizes were more than adequate, and the prices were reasonable. A few of us had deserts too, which also looked and tasted amazing. Thank you to the whole team!

Traditional old pup with friendly staff

Great place to eat. Well cooked food and a good range of options. Excellent service, friendly staff.

My partner and I stayed here for a couple nights and the rooms were clean, The staff were brilliant and I highly recommend the breakfast.

Made very welcome, lovely olde world pub with excellent food and good wine. Room was very nice. Would definitely go again!

Excellent food and very good service. Went to three jolly sailors but no food service. Found the oakwheel just down the road. Very reasonable prices the home made chips fantastic and the scampi delicious. Would highly recommend calling in for food or a drink.

Didn’t stay in their rooms. But tried their food when we stayed in the near lodge. GREAT food!!! Literally want to thank their chef!!

We stopped and had our evening meal. Nice atmosphere, really good food and a good beer selection.

Booked as a last-minute stay, the room was really clean, comfy bed, lovely home feeling to the pub, Breakfast was amazing, tasty plentiful snd the service was fantastic. Great Hosts. Will ll be back.

lovely atmosphere, very tasty food, would definitely return

Only went to this spot as jooly sailer down the road looked very busy. Foods very overated and over priced, pie & veg was precooked & warmed up in the microwave, which took ages to cool down, the pastry on the pie was rock hard& they charged me £4,50 p for a pint of orange juice. Definitely not worth the money spent.

We have stayed here now 3 times.Would highly recommend.Spotlessly clean rooms.Food amazing with large portions.Welcoming staff and very friendly

We had a lovely Sunday dinner, delicious, everything cooked to perfection. Nice friendly atmosphere and great staff.

We visited for tea, the food was very nice home cooked food and ingredients, the fish we had was lovely and large , the service from the waitress probably wasn't up to our expectations.

Great pub,good food, rooms pleasant the staff where really friendly and helpful.

What a lovely find! Rang and booked 15 minutes before arriving to find the table set out for my partner and I and highchair for our 9 month old all set up. It's the first time we have been somewhere that has catered so well for our little girl with plastic plate, cup and cutlery. We ordered the fishcake and pate starters which was a generous portion and delicious, compliments to the chef. We didn't feel rushed, had plenty of time to relax and enjoy the friendly atmosphere and what a comfortable setting which is what we always look for when dining with a child so young. The mains were equally delicious, generous portions and the staff so attentive to anything we may require. Would highly recommend to someone wanted a relaxed date night with a young child third wheeling. Thank you 😊

We haven’t eaten here for quite a while, then twice within a week. The chef is doing a sterling job - the belly pork was perfect, the vegetable selection ideal and cooked beautifully. Sticky toffee pudding enormous!. We will be back.

Best food I've had for a long time great service and lovely atmosphere can't wait to go again

Went to Oak Wheel for Christmas Dinner with family. The food was truly delicious and the service and atmosphere was excellent. The staff were always helpful and attentive

Just enjoyed a quite superb Christmas Dinner, the food was beautiful, the service both bar and restaraunt were exemplary. Thankyou to all concerned. P C Bang

Went for a meal today. Very disappointed. Food not hot and distinctly average. Desert really poor. Service poor. Price high. Will not visit again and I live locally.

So ok rang at last minute on the Sunday morn for lunch.Was told ok, but not in main area/restaurant (fair enough) We were put in the back at a tiny round table next to an open door leading to beer garden.We were absolutely frozen,I had to eat with my coat on,hence the food got cold very quickly.We did not enjoy the meal because of the cramped cold space we were put in,yet we were paying exactly the same as all the other diners!Got the impression that they just tried to get as many in as they could.Totally put us off! Yet we have eaten here before on a Sunday lunchtime and been really impressed. Our fault for not booking early enough? or theirs for cramming people in?

Came in aftwr a long walk up the Cinder Track nice tea nice coffee but we were told to move mid drink due to the table we sat on being reserved despite no reservation sign being visable this in turn made us feel embarrassed and very uncomfortable We will not be coming here again in the future the food also seemed quite expensive so kind of glad we didn't eat here.

We had a really lovely stay here last weekend. The bedroom, and En Suite were spotlessly clean. We had a meal in the evening which was cooked to perfection and we both had a full breakfast on our 1st day, and then an Eggs Benedict, and different choices on our 2nd day, all cooked beautifully too. Lovely, friendly host who made us feel so welcome, and nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend this and, it was superb value for money as well.

Poor quality Sunday lunch served by a miserable waitress who gave us the impression that everything was too much trouble.

Really delicious menu and beautifully cooked meal. I had the slow cooked belly pork which melted in my mouth, my hubby had the steak n ale pie. Friendly helpful staff and dog friendly too! Would highly recommend

The food was delicious. We couldn’t fault it. The accommodation was cosy, but well laid out and very comfortable. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Plenty of parking on site. Definitely the best place we’ve stayed, during our drive around Yorkshire. We’d definitely stay here again.

Our visit to "The Oak Wheel" proved to be a deeply unsatisfactory experience, meriting a mere 1/5 star rating. Regrettably, we cannot endorse this establishment, even for families seeking a dining venue. One glaring issue that we encountered was the limited menu selection, which left much to be desired. Additionally, the overall ambiance and olfactory atmosphere within the restaurant were far from pleasant. These initial impressions set the tone for our dining experience. Although we were promptly served our beverages upon arrival, this was a rare positive aspect. We opted for a promotional burger offer, which promised a complimentary drink to accompany it. However, the staff overlooked providing us with our beverages, and we were forced to inquire, a process that took an inordinate amount of time. Unfortunately, our attempts to gain their attention with polite requests were met with indifference, a disconcerting display of customer service. Regarding the menu itself, its lack of variety and substance was conspicuous. Comprising only two pages, predominantly featuring similar items, it offered little to excite our culinary preferences. Furthermore, the presentation of the burger we ordered was subpar, failing to meet even basic visual standards of appeal. The culinary journey at "The Oak Wheel" left much to be desired. To compound our disappointment, we found the conduct of the staff to be markedly impolite, further tarnishing our dining experience. In light of these grievances, we cannot, in good conscience, recommend "The Oak Wheel" as a dining destination of choice.

I had the chicken meal one night and the second night had the chicken burger meal. Both excellent. My partner had the beef pie one night and the scampi the next. Again both excellent. Good service with friendly staff. I wish we had tried it at the start of our holiday in Burniston as there were other things on the menu that we would have liked to try.

Nice looking pub from outside where do I start we arrived at 6 o'clock on Saturday night left Sunday morning sound like they were doing a favor price was 150 pounds one night no breakfast room wasn't very clean bathroom wasn't the cleanest also could do with a coat of paint also people trying the door in the bathroom from the room next door was locked but felt like they were coming in all the time would not recommend this so anybody didn't have food nice beer in the bar but at 15 pounds for burger and a cup of chips very expensive what last thing I understand it was bank holiday what's a rip people off very poor

Disappointing. Menu sounded good, but food was below average. Limp and tasteless baked potato with cheap flavourless cheddar. Husband said his burger was plastic an£ tasteless. Good chips and service.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meals, tasty and satisfying. We dropped in on the off chance with our granddaughter for an evening meal. Belly pork was a real treat, the nicest i have ever had.

Starting with the positives... The pub is clean and is well presented. The table staff are polite and attentive. However... I ordered a beef burger and was bitterly disappointed. It had absolutely no texture. It was not minced steak. Its consistency was that of uniform rubber. Clearly it had been made from the pulverised remains of the butcher's table. After a couple of bites I simply couldn't eat any more and left it . When asked "how was the meal?" I thought I'd be honest - only to be met with total disbelief. Hey ho.

Myself and my Son stayed here on Monday 14th Aug, couldn't fault the place, the Rooms were spacious and clean with all the usual accessories ie Kettle Hairdryer etc, the Bar/Dining area was a lovely room/s with an outdoor area with table and chairs, the Staff were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble, I have to mention the Breakfast as I can honestly say it was the best I have had anywhere,you are giving a choice of basically anything you want on the menu, my table was full with Juice a Pot of Tea rack of Toast an Jam/Marmalade along with a beautiful full English, the only pointer I would add is I thought the time scale for Breakfast was a bit short as it was 8.30 am till 10 am, my Son missed the Breakfast but the Lady went out of her way to make him a Bacon Sandwich and a Coffee to takeaway, I can not fault this place and would not hesitate to stay here again hopefully for a bit longer.

Absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere couldn’t ask for more my stake was cooked to protection all meals of a high standard would 100 percent recommended to family and friends so welcoming and lovely!!!!

I have got to say this place is fantastic. I stayed here for 2 nights. The reason for stay was a wedding I was attending up the road. There was 27 of us that ate here and all the food arrived in good time really hot. I had the fish and chips in beer batter and proper home cooked chips.I can fault the food one bit excellent. The next day arrived and I had a quick pint before I ventured up to the venue I was going to but the heavens opened so I waited for it to die down which it never so the bar staff was trying to get me a taxi to no avail. But the landlady organised one of her staff to chauffeur me up to the event. I was blown over how generous they all were. Massive kudos to all staff. Sorry for long post and story haha

One night stay. Would stay again, highly recommend. Friendly, welcoming staff. Nice room and quiet even though it was facing the main room. Food menu great, good selection of “pub grub” - something for everyone, I would think. Excellent, tasty dinner with fresh vegetables, with friends who were staying at campsite just a mile away. Breakfast was excellent and freshly cooked.

Definitely our favourite in Scarborough for Sunday lunch. We enjoyed a delicious tender roast beef with selection of veg and very nice Yorkshire pud, followed by a lemon meringue dessert. Service was very friendly and quick and efficient. A team of young girls did an excellent job. Prices are reasonable and quality is excellent, we shall certainly return soon.

What a great find in Burniston would highly recommend we had several meals in the evening all cooked fresh as we sat by the open fire lovely atmosphere great staff

Our first overnight stay although we did have lunch with the family there pre-covid. The food really is first rate - excellent dinner and breakfast. We will be back.

An excellent Sunday lunch following a good walk. Friendly service and excellent food in a nice relaxed atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

The Oak Wheel is a hidden little gem, the food is really good and it deserves to be successful, You must go and try it for yourself. Had Sunday Lunch there before and Evening Meals and never been disappointed.

Only stayed a night but could easy have stayed a few more lovely food lovely stay thank you we will be back xxx
