Scarborough Arms in Scarborough

Staff were lovely and all the meals were freshly prepared. 3 out of ourv4 meals were 5 star tasted and presented lovely. only issue was one of our group chose the chilli con carne and it came out seriously spicey with overly generous chillies which is good if you like it that way but no mention on the menu it was hot hot hot chilli. would definitely recommend for a visit if your in the area

thanks for welcoming me n the wife to ur pub on her birthday

Really nice, clean well presented pub and the food was great, staff were fantastic. Chicken breast meal had a little to much garlic on but overall very happy and would go back

Very clean well presented pub with fantastic staff a d great food. Chicken breast meal had a little to much garlic on bit overall very happy

The food was good quality. The chips and onion rings were cold, and the fish was gorgeous but batter greasy. the staff was great. I will definitely go back to try the mixed grill it a shame no one asked if food was OK, and do you want a pudding like they did all other tables, maybe next time we go, they would have bin 5 star's if hot food

Second time of visiting and food was as lovely as the first. Hot and tasty home cooked food. Proper pub grub. Only slightly negative comment is that condiments are not the best, cheap sachets, but that’s is being very picky.

Really nice food , decent value too, not just your usual pub grub . it's a step above , and plentiful portions too.

The Sunday lunch was amazing , we go out every Sunday for lunch from Uttoxeter but this was on another level the staff were very friendly and the place itself was lovely , well done

Food looked good, we just had a drink

Warm and friendly atmosphere. Dog friendly. Vegetarian options.

Hello Henry here thanks for your time see you again soon

Lovely pub we stumbled across. I had chicken curry and partner had pulled pork burger, both were delicious and plenty of meat for sure. All fresh tasty ingredients definitely worth the price. The pub has lovely ambience with its lighting etc and perfect for a romantic meal. The only slight grumble we had was we had 2 large dogs either side of us while we were eating and we weren’t informed whether it was table service or not, we had to go ask. Staff seemed really nice and checked our food was okay. We would 100% return to this pub over and over again and we wish it was closer to where we lived.

Nice range of beers and wines, super friendly staff.

Great pub food, very friendly landlord and staff.

Great food, great service, excellent playlist(!) And all for a very reasonable price. Thanks for having us!

Friends from London were here to celebrate my husband's birthday........we always like to try somewhere new and the Scarborough Arms hit the spot. The pub inside is so welcoming, the young lady behind the bar was very friendly and the food was fantabulous, definitely will be going back, many thanks for your hospitality. MJ ❤️

Nipped in around New Year was staying round the corner ...dogs friendly Food great portions are huge . I had curry masses of chicken ...could have done with just a bit more sauce . Husbands pie was great . Will 100% go again Thank you.

Lovely food Lovely company dogs loved it

Lovely Sunday Lunch, Piping hot and loads of vegetables. Would highly recommend

Outstanding food ,superb staff and great place to be.

Absolutely delicious food and very generous portion sizes. Excellent service and staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us/kids and dog. Would definitely recommend.

Had our Christmas dinner party there , amazing food and atmosphere

We went there about 7 years ago (when we last came to Scarborough) but the pub was in between changing management so although it was comfortable, there weren't many people so, it was lacking in atmosphere. We decided to try it again this year as we were staying nearby. WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE! Rather than the empty pub we visited 7 years ago, this time there were a few people chatting. There was a lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere (I suppose the Christmas decorations helped ;)), so we decided to stay and have a meal. Two of us opted for the steak/ale pie and the other person chose the chicken curry. The plates arrived warm, the pie was served with separate vegetables (in a hot dish) and a jug of gravy. The chicken curry filled the plate it came in, served with rice and a lovely plain nan. The curry sauce was mild but you could taste the tasty spice. The pie was absolutely delicious. It was packed full of tender meat/steak, there was hardly any room for any ale or gravy! The chicken curry was also very good, the chicken was perfectly cooked, moist. The real ale was also good (I can't recall what was on) but it was enjoyed. It was also good to be served wine from a proper bottle rather than a small 175ml bottle, though some pubs prefer to serve the smaller bottles as they may not be able sell a whole 75cl bottle due to lack of demand for wine in their establishment. All in all, it was such a good meal that we decided we would come back, we did so on our last night in Scarborough. We had the steak/ale pie, the chicken curry and the parma chicken. Once again, all these were perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly and made you feel welcome. I went on a bit with my review but this pub deserves it. Happy New Year to everyone at the Scarborough Arms and thank you, we will come back when in the area next!

visted here 2 nights in a row for tea food was excellent staff very friendly service very quick and good value for money well worth a visit

Waited an hour for food, when clearly other people getting served who came in after us, then no chicken left for the mrs ,so we both order beef then no beef left, what a joke, was offered a free drink but we were driving so turned it down, offered discount, but when we asked for it we were told the free drink was the discount, felt sorry for our server, not her fault, kitchen , didn't know it's arse from it's elbow, all the staff front of house very cheery, maybe needs whoever runs it to come out of the kitchen or wherever and see what's going on Food was mediocre not worth the money won't be going back

Excellent, friendly, clean, comfortable.

Great place off the beaten track

Great find on our recent trip to Scarborough. After a nice meal you can walk into the town centre or down to the sea front. Both are only a few minutes away.

Great pub with a warm welcome when you walk in from the staff. Dog friendly and the area we was asked to dine in was really clean and comfy. Our food came out really quickly with an ample portion. Toilets spotless too. Would highly recommend.

Lovely pub, friendly staff. Didn't eat here but the menu looked good and would definitely come back for food.

Large party of us went in on 7/11/24. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. We ordered food and were all served at the same time . Everyone enjoyed their meal. Portions were large and very tasty. Thoroughly recommend this pub for good food and a great atmosphere

We called in for lunch on a Sunday, having seen all the good reviews, but I can only speak from our experience, and I have to say it was very much a mixed bag. Staff were very friendly and welcoming and seated us even though we hadn't booked. Wifey ordered beef Sunday roast, and I ordered haddock and chips. There were no issues with the roast, and it was very much enjoyed. However, the haddock was so bad that I sent it back. One half of the batter was overcooked and rock hard, but the rest was soggy and tasteless. The fish itself was mushy and wet, mushy peas were sloppy, and the chips were undercooked. Staff offered a replacement, but I asked for it to be taken off the bill, which they did. I'm not saying that we wouldn't return as It could have been an off day. All other food that came out looked fine, and we didn't hear anyone else complaining. I would say call and judge for yourself, but 5 out of 10 from me.

Well visited Scarborough for a weekend and not knowing the area it was a case of looking what’s local well what a find the food was amazing both nights we went the portions was well worth the money ..the wife never stopped talking about it and normally she’s so fussy eating out I’m so glad we found this place it really is a great place the lamb cutlet with mint sauce and veg was really tasty and the Parma chicken and chips was cooked to perfection the other two courses we had was lasagne and cottage pie coated in cheese these the wife loved so it must be up amongst the greats I can only thank everyone for making are short stay a rememberable one the food didn’t let us down..

Lovely Sunday roast. Large portions and very tasty. Would highly recommend I had the melt in your mouth roast beef and my wife had the turkey. 😋😋😋

We were only staying in Scarborough for 4 days and we came across this lovely pub which served amazing food. Honesty, if you are in Scarborough this pub is a must!! We dined there 2 days on the trot. Staff are friendly and you can see why this place is a popular with the locals. If we ever come to Scarborough we will definitely be back.

Well worth coming from Sheffield for this Sunday dinner, never mind luckily the beautiful weather!! Delicious, not expensive, great staff! Loved it!

Nice food great service made to feel welcome would recommend

Lovely pub, one of the few "proper"pubs we found in Scarborough. Visited a couple of times during our stay, we got there gone 20:00 on Friday and they very kindly still took our food order. We also went back for Sunday dinner, very busy so booking highly recommended. All the food we had was lovely and would definitely return when back in Scarborough.

Had the sunday roast which was scrummy 😋 though the roast potatoes could have been more roasted & a bit more stuffing.

Restaurant prices for pub food. Decent beer

This is a great pub for everyone. Great choice of beers, ciders & spirits. Soft drinks, the food menu is excellent with very generous portions.

Great pub ,fabulous attentive staff and the food absolutely spot on . I'd highly recommend popping in here ..

Drinks⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vibe⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely surroundings Lovely staff

This is the best pub food we have eaten the vegetables we're so fresh and soft and the portions are really good

The food was really nice. Quick service. Dog friendly. Reasonably priced. Would go again.

The quality of the food was fantastic. The amount you get is very generous, not for a small appetite. I had to finish the wife's plate. If they could do a smaller portion for a bit less, it may make them even busier. Think they finish food at 8pm

Great place staff were friendly for was good

Excellent service, clean and tidy. Good selection of beers

Perfect if you've got dogs and the food was excellent.

Food and service was amazing! Very friendly. The cherry lollipop martini is amazing! Would highly recommend👍🏻

Spent a week in Scarborough ate here 3 times food was all homemade and very generous portions landlady and landlord very friendly my partner even got a free drink but that's cause he was cheeky would reccomend to anyone staying near here

we didn't have a booking, and the table was available straight away. Nice quaint little pub. lovely staff Had the very reasonably priced sunday lunch was very tasty, but the selection of veg wasn't great. desserts were lovely. £51 for 3 mains 2 desserts and drinks. would go back again.

Nice home cooked food, the fish and chips were very nice. Good selection of non alcoholic drinks. Dog friendly.

Great pub ran by Great freindy people

Excellent food and excellent service plus Dog friendly great place to visit and we will certainly visit again next time in Scarborough.

Relaxed pub with good food and friendly staff. And of course good beer...

Lovely pub, good choice of drinks, lovely staff.

Nice clean pub but barmaid never said how much drinks were just took money exspensive

Nice pub, quiet when we visited.

Came in for lunch, lovely staff to greet ye. Food was deliciously homemade. Good portion sizes. Can definitely recommend, will be back!!

We checked out their menu online before booking. My partner fancied the Posh fish finger sandwich and I, the Chili con Carne (GF). Booking was easy and for the time we requested. On arrival, we found out the Posh fish finger sandwich was only on the Lunch menu and finished at 4pm. However, a member of staff came to us and said they'd still cook it for my partner which was so thoughtful of them. We don't eat chips that much but these were delicious We didn't wait long for our meals to arrive. Polite and friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Would go again.

Nice pub with nice bar staff. Really enjoyed the food I had which was reasonably priced for such a large portion

Excellent but best book.for meals.

Tasty + Fast + Pleasant ambience = Recommended!!!

A very nice Sunday lunch here while holidaying nearby. Lovely food at a very reasonable price. The only drawback is that the pub doesn't have its own car park. But if you can get hold of a Scarborough parking disk, you can park for free on a nearby street for up to 2 hours. Wish we had known beforehand. However, don't let that deter you. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Did not book walked in and seated us no prob great service very friendly 👌 would go again

Sunday lunch was cold only thing which were piping hot new potatoes with garlic which we were given half way through dinner, when plates removed nobody offer us a sweet we left won’t be back

Had two meals here while on holiday and both times the meals were very good. The staff were very friendly and polite. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area. Bit short of parking outside though.

Great pub awesome food great staff even saved my cap until I returned for ot the following day 😀

Absolutely fantastic food. Great service. Friendly staff. Value for your money. I would definitely recommend the steak and ale pie with homemade chips. The pie crust stayed firm, and the steak just melted in your mouth.

1st class evening with food, great blackboard menu extl was made extremely welcome

Brilliant place to visit prices are excellent 👌 👍

It's a little on the expensive side, but the food is excellent quality and the portions are decent, too. I can highly recommend the lasagne and home-cooked chips! I'm not sure whether the bottle of wine which I shared with my partner was house or of premium quality, as again, we found it a bit pricey, but nonetheless, it tasted delicious, so was worth it!

Excellent food Burgers are a must 100% recommend this pub

Stopped off here for some lunch on the way home. Dinner was lovely and it was dog friendly. Will definitely return when in the area.

Fabulous food with large portion at great prices, the pub is lovely and the staff are hard working and friendly 😀

A good standard of food, tasty . fair prices. Staff are top notch.

Food was really nice, had a slight wait but it was well worth the wait, would highly recommend it

We visited on 2/8/24. Our food was gorgeous 10/10, the atmosphere was lovely and a band called in briefly playing guitar and violin! What a lovely experience. Our 2 children loved their food and even said they wanted to go to the bar to tell the staff that it was the best meal they had ever had in a restaurant. Well done to Derek and his whole team, we has a fabulous evening and an even better meal! The rack of bbq ribs were exquisite and the scampi and kids meal of chicken goujons were beautiful. The haloumi cheese and the soup starters were fantastic. And the side of garlic bread was the best we had ever tasted. We HIGHLY recommend this venue and will certainly be re-visiting in future.

Pleasant place for drink, access is good, wheelchair friendly,wc ground floor they do serve food, unfortunately can not commit on it as only had drink enjoy

Warm friendly welcome by staff, cosy familiar atmosphere. Delicious homemade food at a reasonable price, probably the best fish and chips I've ever eaten, steak pie was amazing (tried a bit of my mates) and the fudge cake + custard was also superb. Good pint and selection of drinks. 10/10 will go out of my way to come here again.

The food was absolutely lovely however when I was taking a small break from my meal (with my knife and fork still in hand) the waiter took my food off me without asking if I had finished (still had more than 1/3 of my meal left). Lovely otherwise just make sure your staff are asking if people have finished their meals before taking the plate away.

Amazing pub great food lovely atmosphere, wish I'd found it sooner 😀

First time eating here and it definitely won't be our last I had the Sunday roast my wife had the beef and ale pie both were great and I had a sneaky taste of her pie delicious,will be ordering this next time. The staff made it a good experience.

Sunday lunch very nice portions large

Delicous chicken parm ( my first ever). Friendly service and nice atmosphere

Good feeling and atmosphere when you enter. Food very good. Staff polite.

Traveling through England from Australia I decided as it was Sunday to find a lovely Sunday roast and came across Scarborough Arms. The menu stated the price was £7.50ish which I was happy with. When my food arrived I was disappointed, two tiny slices of roast beef that was incredibly dry, a large amount of potatoes, and steamed vegetables. I was disappointed there were no roast vegetables except for two Roast potatoes. The stuffing ball was so incredibly dry, even drowned in gravy, Yorkshire pudding was pretty good. To add to this when I was checking my bank statement, I saw that I was charged £14 for my meal. Will not be returning.

Came here based on glowing reviews and can confirm it's just as great as it sounded. The food was amazing, I had the Panko chicken with a delicious homemade coleslaw and handcut chips, himself had a steak and ale pie with veg and gravy ... we were bowled over by both. The staff were brilliant and the pub itself is very laid back and pleasant to be in; nicely decorated throughout in a modern slightly rustic style with lots of attention to detail. Also very dog friendly, with treats, water and pats provided

Gorgeous pub and lovely food. Dog friendly too. We were very impressed!

More interested in serving food than holiday maker's just wanting to have a social drink.

Just called for our tea. The worse meal weve ever been given. Gammon was rock hard, lasagne was disgusting, chef wants sacking.

Really great steak pie, chips & gravy.

Came here for our 40th wedding anniversary on 30th of June with our family absolutely lovely. Service from a lovely young man was brilliant. Food was delicious compliments to the chef

We made a quick decision on eating here as we were in abit of a rush. SO glad we did, the best Parmo I've had. Great service, really friendly ladies on the bar and a good selection on beers/ciders. Would definitely return.

Dropped in unplanned and glad we did. Great food. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Definitely recommended.

We called in on the off chance as I'd read good reviews about the food and it was listed as having real ale. I got quite excited when the siGgn outside boasted that they served Theakston cask ales but unfortunately they were nowhere to be seen, luckily they had Great Newsome Moo Mild as the only other cask was Wainwright. The food was pretty good, I had 5 bean chilli enchiladas which tasted ok but lacked spice and were a little on the sweet side for some reason. My wife had a portion of sweet potato fries and then Apple Crumble and custard which she enjoyed. I couldn't fault the service and the atmosphere was that of a real local even though it got quite busy.

Recommended to us, and it lived up to expectations. Food was fabulous, loved it! Will definitely go again.

Good service with friendly staff. Food was tasty and good value for money.
