Plough Inn in Scarborough

Stayed at the flower of may for a weekend and walked to this pub. Omg it was terrible , staff rude and unhelpful, can’t believe how bad the food was and the following day my wife had a stomach upset, flies everywhere and it wasn’t busy so food had been stood and was inedible. I left mine and wife left most of hers. Can’t recommend and I’m surprised they are still in business, chatted in the bar up on caravan site and apparantly it has new owners and mostly people are giving it a wide berth. I can understand why.

Paid £25 for 2 meals, to then see on facebook post the meals we ordered at the time we went for 2 4 £12. No where on the table was this stated or on the menu on the table. Contacted the people via facebook to say this was not offered to be told we should have asked for it. How can we ask if we don't know? Then to be told well the portions are smaller in the 2 for £12 so pretty much nothing they can do we got a bigger portion. So not really a deal then is it??? Food was lovely but wouldn't go back, at this time of year near a seaside town the relies on custom when tourists are not around you think the place would be more courteous seen as we keep the place open during winter months.

Popped in for lunch and was offered the menu which was 2 for £12 I had the lasagne and partner had the hunters chicken.both were excellent. Lasagne was the best I have had in a pub. We came back the next day for the carvery top marks for food. Staff deserve a commendation for lovely service and cheerfulness. Highly rated by me.

Where to start , As a local who manages 14 holiday cottages I regularly eat out in order to be able to recommend to my guests the places to eat , this will not be one of them. The plates were cold bacon (thick cut) cold with congealed fat sausages very salty and cold beans and tomato cold hash browns hot toast cold cost £27 for 2 adults 1 child We may try again in 6 months to see if anything has changed.

Very expensive menu. £14 for a regular pepperoni pizza that is a standard plate size is astounding. Jacket potato had a horrible after taste; requested refunded but rejected as ate half before complaining. The cheese and beans made it somewhat bearable. £3.30 for a 330ml bottle of soft drink is horribly over priced. The equivalent to a can of coke for the price of a pint! There is also a fly problem which seriously needs sorting. Wouldn’t recommend coming, but would recommend better customer service and some fly zappers! It used to be a popular family hub - not anymore. New owners, managers that have just come out of college and no appreciation for customer service amongst the staff.

Been here quite a few times now since it was took over, always served with a smile. Friendly atmosphere and the food has always been spot on. With amazing portion sizes. The carvery is absolutely amazing 100% and the all you can eat breakfast is a great value too. My kids love it here with the park and play area too.

Very disappointed. Don't go if you are Coeliac. Gf options rubbish. When I enquired what I could have I was told they did burgers but got no buns. Didn't want burger. Very unsure what else I could have. I'll pass thanks

Ordered two Yorkshire pudding meals one with turkey one with Cumberland sausages roast potatoes and peas. Food was lukewarm turkey had thick slimy skin on it tasted and looked like it had been poached. The sausages were a cheap version of Cumberland sausage and were salty no herbs to be found. Overpriced poor quality food. Sorry won’t visit again.

Had a lovely carvery and the kids burnt of some steam in the play area, great for families, food is delicious and will definitely go back if over that way.

Another fantastic meal here, plenty of food, lovely atmosphere and great service, what more could you want ? There seems to be lots of young staff here, eager to please and ensure that everything is ok for you.

We were here for the Indian night and the food was fantastic would really recommend! Workers were amazing and atmosphere was great.

Would definitely recommend the plough, food is brilliant, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Me and my family went for the indian all you can eat, it was spot on 👌🏻. Highly recommend the carvery on a sunday too! Also lovely soft play area for the kids upstairs! All round lovely place to go for a nice meal 😊

The plough is a great experience for younger children with the baby play area and the children play area. We love coming here as a family and we got to enjoy the Indian night here on Friday 23rd of February with an all you can eat buffet and the food was flavourful and fun as you can plate your own meals and keep going up for more if your tummy isn’t so full yet. I’d say the plough is a great run business with staff member's, who want to be on the floor and interact with there jobs very well. Great experience for all!! They also have a chill out lounge with a fire place that feels just like home.

One of the best places you can go in the local area bright friendly staff and on top of that good quality food just go on empty stomach as they make sure to give you plenty, you'll never leave on a empty stomach. We even ordered a cheesecake from there which was made perfect and is incredible which u can see in pictures 💕

Well, where do I start, The plough is absolutely amazing the food is lovely & The Sunday lunches are to die for, I've never tasted such lovely food. The prices are very reasonable and great value for money a lot better than what you get at other establishments and I've been to a few in the Scarborough. If you haven't been you don't know what your missing! The staff are fantastic, All ready to help, well mannered and amazing customer service skills. one special mention is the lady Lisa who serves the meat on a Sunday Lisa works through the week also but what a lovely lady she is always has a smile on her face always makes you feel welcome. The Plough is definitely 5 STARS!! Keep up the good work :)

What can I say ,Sunday carvery £13.99 plus a £2.00 charge for 1 pig in blanket.Wouldnt of minded but £15.99 for a Luke warm offering ,frozen veg.hard frozen roast potato which clearly had been dropped in a hot fryer,dry meat .The only thing that looked inviting was the cakes ,now they looked amazing.

visited here on a very busy Sunday as a family member had been the following week and told us all about it , although extremely busy the service was faultless and the food spot on we could smell the carvery from the car park .. we love how they put on a free extra dish each week , the chicken pie was delicious… gutted i missed the tikka the week before ..highly recommend and will most certainly be back

We went here after hearing amazing things and wow were so glad we chose here, the car park was full on our arrival which was a good sign..proper family oriented pub with a massive play area,or kids loved it ,we hadn’t planned on eating because I had a joint in the slow cooker but it all smelt and looked amazing we couldn’t resist,the food was so tasty and meat plenty full,the staff were so attentive nothing was too much trouble,even the lady on the carvery brought us a gravy boat to our table.We will definitely be making this our new family Sunday place, couldn’t believe it had only been taken over in mid November,well done to you all at THE PLOUGH.

Thought we would visit for something to eat , taking my mum and dad out for a birthday treat , got there for around 12pm and the car par was already getting full ( though this is a good sign) When entering the place looked amazing clean light and well staffed ( best it has looked in years ) desserts looked delicious. Cauvery looked amazing - could not wait to try - we all went for large carvery - asked if we wanted pigs in blankets ( said yes) we was not told there was an extra charge - with this ended up paying over £15 each ( not a problem but would have liked to have been told the extra charge for 1 sausage wrapped in bacon ) still did not mind as the food smelt amazing . All 4 of us got two meats ( we could have had three) good portions too . Veg - cauliflower cheese, carrots, peas , onions , battered parsnips, mash potatoes, roast potatoes and more , small Yorkshire pudding . We all sampled nearly everything between us - Where do I start Roast potatoes hard and just worm - dropped in fryer on a high heat ? Cauliflower cheese watery - cooked with frozen veg Pig in blanket - ok Meat - frozen - nothing wrong with frozen meat - turkey dry ( Toby Carvery meat ) Sprouts very hard Stuffing balls - not very nice All in all not good at all ( we all left most of our food ) All was only just warm - so by the time we finished our meal it was cold . We also tried the desserts- these were to die for - who ever made these cakes are talented and well worth the money . You get good potions at the Plough but the hot food very disappointing - desserts are amazing and to die for

Wanted to entertain the 7 year old and heard this place had reopened. I remembered they had a play area upstairs. Ordered food and drinks two adults and a child. Kids meal came free. I really enjoyed my lasagne, generous portion size with lots of sides. (Mixed salad, grated carrot, coleslaw,chips and peas.) Took the young un upstairs and the staff upstairs as was the staff downstairs were so friendly and attentive. Gonna make this an every Saturday outing.

Literally Ordered food with my family to be then told they wasn’t playing the fa cup in the adult bar and that it wasn’t a football friendly pub ??????? Funny I’ve watched footy in there for years so I had to leave the food and drinks and go find another pub that at 1230 for a 1245 kickoff !! For my partner to ring me up to tell me the pub had it on after all 32 quid wasted and no refund The young manager lad assured me all the tvs was linked and it wasn’t on !! Safe to say I won’t be going back in there again and I’m out of pocket your loss

Under new management. Went today for lunch, ordered steak pie and a gammon, the food was plentiful and delicious, the staff were very friendly, can't fault it. Gutted I had to leave some as was so full.

Called in today for lunch. The lady behind the bar who also waitresses was absolutely lovely, cheerful and helpful. We ordered off the two for £12 menu. All of us has Yorkshire pudding with roast beef, roast potatoes, peas and gravy. It was delicious. The plates were warm, and served with a smile. The venue was warm, and spotlessly clean, nicely decorated for Christmas. One of us ordered cake to take home, it was a very generous portion, and looked amazing. We will definitely be back.

Been today for a Sunday dinner a lovley lady called ‘lisa’ served us are caravry and was so welcoming defiantly recommend this place really nice food

Fantastic carvery, massive amount of meat even on the regular size and the kids! Massive selection of veg, three choices of meat and really good prices. All the food was kept topped up and everything was available. I accidentally put veg gravy on mine instead...

This place is under new management and is fantastic. We visited on a Saturday tea time and had some wonderful food, and a few drinks. Word of warning ❗️ GO HUNGRY 😋 the portions are huge and all home cooked. I can highly recommend the...

Friendly and welcoming! What a super place to enjoy a delicious carvery. Staff are friendly and efficient. Good is delicious, excellent value for money. Highly recommend!

Now under new management with a new team and new menu. Food was absolutely fantastic and delicious. Service was exceptional friendly throughout. The Plough needs to be tried. If I could give more than 5* I would.

Filthy place needed to use the toilet when we got there and so glad we did. The toilets were an absolute disgrace. Pure filth if that’s what the toilets are like that customers can see what is the kitchen like that we can’t see. Complained...

Staying at Crows Nest Caravan Park (1/2 mile away), tried evenings and sunday lunch, both good, carvery took the edge

Avoid at all costs. Both of us got food poisoning from raw meat (chicken). We complained it was undercooked at the time but was assured by the management that it was fine and they’re professionals in the industry. Whole place needs a clean/refurb looks nothing...

The food was lovely the rib stake was dutifully we all had ice cream which was lovely, service top notch we would highly recommend.

A stop off at The Plough to sample their carvery was hugely disappointing however it seems a popular place for families although It was difficult assess this as the day we visited was the day before the queens funeral which was a bank holiday. Despite...

The pub itself was clean and staff were welcoming . Good choice of drinks Unfortunately the food was overpriced and not the best.

All the kids stuff but no kids menu! Had to order our 10 year old full size burger which we paid full price for and then was shocking! Our food was terrible and staff were useless. Will never go back!

Visited as it looked fab from the outside driving past. On entering, there was signs on the door to say that there was a problem with flies but appropriate measures were in place to deal with it. Asked for a menu at the bar, was...

Avoid at all costs. Only food is a carvery priced at a minimum of £9.95 each. Don’t usually mind a carvery but it was served stone cold and had clearly been stood out for a long time. That was after I had to wait for...

When we went they were only doing carvery and kids meals, nothing else off menu. Carvery was not that good. Meat and yorkies nice and then downhill from there. Stuffing dry like not enough water added to a packet mix, parsnips overcooked, creamed leeks watery,...

We have been turned away for a carvery the past two weeks and they advertise all day carvery but we called in at 5.30pm to be told there was no food available yet again even though we could see 3 full joints of meat on...

Very disappointing. Carvery advertised until 8pm. Nothing left before 4pm and not doing any other food. They said they had no veg left. I asked if they could just do a meat bun but they said they couldn’t do that.

We kept driving by this place and it looked great for kids. The first day we went it was closed due to the heat so we went back again. It is one of my favourite places. It’s clean, tidy and the staff were so polite (not sure if we caught them on a good day looking at the other reviews) carvery was lovely and my daughter lived the ice cream. Play area outside is great, could spend all day there. Toilets were lovely and fresh. Can’t fault the place and will be returning next year when we are back on holiday.

The plough was ok on the Sunday, Monday and Tuesday unfortunately the food just went down hill after that, on Wednesday we waited for 10mins at the serving counter before getting served and when we received our food it was cold as the week went on it just got worse their excuse the cook's had walked out leaving an inexperienced person making the food. I spoke to the manager while sitting in the plough but he had no interest in what I was saying when we returned home I wrote to the owners and received the following "I will get the manager to contact you" that was 3weeks ago and still no response. Very poor customer service.

Came here for some time in the soft play with my two boys and their cousin checked Facebook before setting off for any Notifications that it is shut but there was nothing on Facebook. Get there to find out that the soft play was actually...

We enjoyed dining here when on holiday a few years ago. When we returned recently, the blackboard in the entrance announced that they were only offering the carvery and kids meals. We didn’t mind that so we went inside. The place was almost empty of...

Carvery meals excellent value for me the vegetables are brilliant with a great section of roasted vegetables and the rest of the carvery is awesome to friendly staff not to over priced I have been coming here for a few months now and I come...

This is a fully family orientated venue which was great to see, plenty to see and do for the kids. Very modern decor and also an extremely clean place, we had a carvery and it was great, the Turkey was cooked just right and the...

Great breakfast, affordable prices. Superb little play area for the kids. Staff lovely also 5* will be back

We visited over the may bank holiday weekend as we were camping nearby. We arrived early afternoon and while having a few drinks, the children were able to safely play in the excellent outdoor play area. As it got cooler we moved inside and the...

We visited here before covid twice I the week whole staying at a local caravan park. We returned this week & had it on our list of places to visit. Such a disappointment! Place was empty at tea time, never a good sign. Nobody even...

Came today for the first time after a lot of recommendations, to find the "all day every day carvery" that they advertise, not to be on, and because that wasn't on, half of the standard menu was unavailable to have with mash... Very disappointed and...

Very disappointed in the carvery today at the Plough. Despite our complaint re the beef being as tough as old boots and sitting for a further 30 minutes neither the chef or the manager came to see us to apologise. Rest of the food was...

Marela i think is her name( red hair) and a tall young barman were very welcoming. Lovely food and definitely visiting again.* super clean too!)

Came Tues evening 13th April.. was served by a lovley bubbly lady with red hair.. think she was a supervisor... She looked after us well recommended a lovley dish to us we really enjoyed... She was non stop serving and doing the clearing of plates...

What a nice experience! Having had a wee bit too much to drink the night before safe to say I was a little delicate!! I thought to myself a fry up will bring me round! Arriving at 10am we saw a sign saying no food...

8 of us went in for a meal, waste of time going. Nothing working, why do they not tell you at the bar that there's sod all to eat before ordering drinks. If I was forced to go again I,d take a Mc Donald's with...

Never again! We, a family of 4 adults and 2 children, called in for tea tonight, it was fairly empty for a place of that size and now we know why. NO FOOD! There was a carvery set up but they’d run out of meat,...

Visited last week and I can honestly say that the food was absolutely dreadful. It can't even be called food. Beef madras was shocking with extremely hard and very dry beef. I struggled to chew it. It was definitely pre cut squares of frozen, over...

Called in for Sunday carvery my husband and I plus my mother-in-law, she is a fussy eater when eating out and I am fussy with veg, we all left full and happy. Food was hot and delicious with plenty to choose from. My only dislike...

two adult and one 9 yrs old child. adults had carvery and 9 yr old had burger, the burger was very nice but £11.95. ....only two choice of meat , beef or turkey on carvery, i chose turkey, it was so dry it was like...

Very limited menu as there is a buffet style option, and what is on the menu is incredibly expensive for pub grub. We went for the buffet option, thinking the server would provide the main item, but then we would be able to help ourselves...

Stopped in for a quick lunch and daughter used soft play & outdoor playground. Latte was delicious as was the crispy chicken ciabatta we shared (huge portion with chips & salad. Soft play was great, fantastic customer service. We’ll definitely return.

Lasagne was burnt,vegetables hard and had obviously just been sat in hot water,steak pie was rancid, thus is the second visit to thus pub and both times has been awful, we called on 2nd time thinking it was a one off on our 1st visit,...

Food bog standard. Depends on servers mood as to how stingy he is with meat…. You get 4 roast potatoes and don’t dare ask for more! Mash VERY dry and flavourless, cauliflower dry- no sauce. To top it all off left the table just for...

Excellent Breakfast freshly cooked couldn’t beat it could choose either small £5.50 or large £8.50 including coffee, lovely home cooked food plenty of it and piping hot. The staff were so friendly asked if we wanted extra toast etc definitely worth a visit. Without a...

Called today for late lunch. One meal was good, steak pie, could have been hotter but perfectly edible. Unfortunately my fish and chips were poor. Obviously been warmed up as batter on fish was soggy at best. I did mention it to staff and was...

Staff are very polite and welcoming…went for the Sunday lunch carvery and very disappointed.. roast potatoes were covered in paprika, yorkie pudding was so hard they could have been an ice hockey puck, turkey was very dry and having the dog with us we were...

Good food = 100% Value for money = 100% Clean environment = 100% Friendly staff = 100 % Dog friendly = 100% Staff make you feel welcome and relaxed . Great service with a smile . Dog friendly . Staff went out there way to...

Just a couple of minutes in car from The Blue Dolphin. Visited for a late carvery with my partner and dog Buddy. Yes dogs are welcome in the garden and conservatory. The pub was very spacious and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The chef's...

The staff were clearly having a hard time, short staffed and menu was buffet only. Have to say I was a little sceptical but stayed as the kids were hungry. We were pleasantly surprised with the food kids sausages no complaints, nuggets were great chunks...

Great for families, the play areas both inside and out were loved by our kids. The baby area was a nice surprise. The staff made the visit, all of them friendly polite and although they were clearly understaffed they worked as a team, the manager...

Play area for kids is great and the guy on the hotplate was lovely. Beer was nice and cold but the food, well, absolutely awful. The buffet had been sat on the hotplate at least all day so the veggies were Luke warm. We were...

We visited last week as we were staying up the road at Blue Dolphin and the only positives I can give are that my son enjoyed the play park area outside and we were served by a friendly barmaid. There was a very limited menu...

Great food welcoming staff. Very attentive. Relaxed atmosphere. Value for money.why Close at 9.would have been great to stay longer

Came on a Sunday so it was the carvery on offer and my god was it disgusting, barely edible, everything very undercooked and had a very odd taste which I think was the gravy, my children didn’t even want to eat it and I can’t...

Been here today and have to say it wasn't good...but I suppose you get what you pay for. The burger was dry as a bone and my sons lasagne smelt of gone off meat. Whilst waiting for a drink a lady went up to the...

I have visited the plough again for around the 3-4th time in the last few weeks. The food was great just had the Carvery. There was a large queue but rightly so for the food it’s dishing out, me and my family cannot complain. James...

Well came for a lovely family Sunday carvery and well how disappointed was we... all the veg was hard cauliflower cheese was dry no sauce and the roast potatoes well that's another story getting served burnt potatoes all the way through mash was instan mash...

Disappointing to say the least. Visited last October and we have it 5 star Today I am loathed to give even 1 (it’s not even that good) The “buffet” food was terrible Two of our party had steak pie and it can best be described...

We visited as a family with young children. They loved the playground. The food was great and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The prices were great and the children loved the ice cream. We will definitely visit again.

Had Sunday lunch here for seven of us. All fresh veggies, choice of three meats. Bit chaotic waiting in line for food but worth it. £70 for food and drinks, great value. Play area for kid’s upstairs £4 each. Would go back.

Visited Friday 23rd July 2021 with daughter, son in law and 4 year old grandson. plenty of parking andd got a seat easily as wasnt too busy. A good menu but some things were very pricey. We opted for a part of the menu at...

Visited here last weekend with a group of friends, wasn’t greeted at the door & was left standing confused as the procedure wasn’t clear. Eventually we helped ourselves to a dirty table in which a waitress just handed us the cloth to clean ourselves. The...

We camp 🏕 every year at blue dolphin and always make a visit to this pub day before we head home We Went 22/7/21 Third time here now , this time around was so welcoming don't no if new management as took over but really...

I was staying at the nearby Blue Dolphin holiday camp, with the hassle of having to book to get into the restaurant, and when you did half the menu was unavailable, and what there was was nothing special. I decided to visit the Plough after...

We visited this place 2 years ago.. luckily we sat outside so never really noticed the problem with flies. But this time we sat inside and the flies are disgusting. They are everywhere. It’s a shame really as the food is really good. When we...

Unfortunately we were not impressed with this place. No covid restrictions at all, everyone just piling in, standing in queue at bar and huge queue at Carvery Station. To begin with, no one greeted us at the door, so we didn't know the procedure. Everywhere...

Been 3 times since re opened here today coming back tomorrow for carvery me and my son love the friendly staff always there to help very clean a o v i d safe keep up the very very good work

Stunning Gourmet Food worthy of recognised accolades. The quality of the food, price presentation, portion sizes, taste and fantastic customer service was sublime. This was the best meal out we've had as a family and we will undoubtedly 100% be returning again. The only thing...

What a horrendous pub. Food was vile. The pub was full of flies. Also says that the pub is child friendly, but this is not the case. The manager was rude. Will never eat here again. STAY AWAY!

I was absolutely disgusted with this pub. It was full of flies and smelt of sick. We left our meals and couldn't eat them as it was so uncomfortable eating there. The food is typical pub grub at high prices. I did complain at the...

We were told when we in that there was a massive waiting list for the play area. So we decided just to eat instead. Went and ordered lunch and it came and was delicious and then a member of the staff, a lady not sure...
