Smugglers Cove at the Buccaneer in Scarborough

Highly recommended staff very welcoming and friendly Highly recommended 👍

Tasty Bruschetta and Seafood Marinara, Apple Crumble my favourite as always, friendly staff would recommend it

Great bar. Serves food too. We had a steak dinner. Little pricey but still nice. Only fault they closed bar at 10pm.

Food good. Place needs a refurb

Had takeaway Sunday Carvery, excellent food, well cooked and delicious. A wide range of meats and vegetables to choose from.

Always good value, excellent food.

First time going, won’t do again or recommend to others. Shown to table at 1.15 as booked by the larger younger man. Then 5 minutes later asked what drinks we want. There was no drinks menu on the table, other than wine which we didn’t want. Then asked to choose plate sizes from the wall behind bar (too far away to see properly). No other questions, menus or even “have you been here before, do you know how this works?” Both questions would have been polite and shut important. Drinks given to us - although we’d ordered J2O, and given to us without the bottle and in a glass (really J2O?). We were told that we would be given a ticket with the time for us to go up to the carvery. We then waited until 1.41. The people at the next tanlbke suggested we speak to the older lady behind bar as they’d clearly forgotten about us. When I did, the lady looked at tickets, shuffled them about and tild me that I’d be given the ticket soon. No apology or reason. Hushed whispers (if possible panic) from the bar lady to the waitress and then the bar lady gave the ticket (said 1.19pm on it) to the waitress to pass on - obvious error on her behalf but no apology or admittance. I asked waitress about vegetarian options as had not seen a menu or been asked what we want. Was told it would be another 25 mins wait. As we had waited a long time already, the vegetarians, being 1/2 the party, just got the veg from carvery and had to pay full price. Whilst waiting in the queue, the larger first man appeared again. He was told by waitresses at which point I caught his eye and explained my annoyance at waiting and not being shown menu/choice. He was aggressive in tone, did not apologise and blamed us before walking away from the conversation. In summary - food nice. Cooks, servers, waitresses were nice. People in charge (assuming older bar lady and larger younger man) were unapologetic and offered poor service. Much better places around to go.

Brilliant place with great food and friendly staff definitely worth a visit

Yet Another Visit to Smugglers Cove. We were hoping the Hanging Kebabs would be on the menu but sadly they weren't. Decided on the Chicken Fajitas which sizzled their way from the kitchen to our table. Really nice meal, would recommend this tasty dish to all. Smugglers Cove is consistently good for quality of food and service that is friendly and efficient. We'll be back next time we're in the area.

Had an absolutely lovely evening/night at the ‘The Buccaneer’ in Filey… Started with a very nice steak in ‘The Smugglers Cove’ along with a bottle of wine (Their wine list is endless 🍷) The staff are so friendly and willing to ensure you have a fabulous time! Yep, it’s steps to get up there,,, However they also have a stairlift, so easy access for anyone. Come 21:30 they had a live band, which just finished the evening… If you have never visited when in Filey make sure you add it to your holiday bucket list, you will not be disappointed. Forgot to say… Probably the best priced bar and restaurant in the town as well, a great place for family and friends! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Bit quiet at time of visit but staff were friendly and welcoming.

Great Steak tonight ! Great service welcoming staff. Authentic restaurant pirate themed. Reasonable price. Nice menu.

Friendly staff and attentive service. Delicious proper homemade hearty and tasty meals. My husband had the Steak and Ale Pie which was full of large chunks of tender meat topped with yummy shortcrust pasty, he chose the chips instead of mash, all served with lashing of gravy (he opted to have no accompanying veg). I had delicious spaghetti bolognese - really tasty. Great value too. Edit: The next day we returned to eat here. Delicious food, huge portions, very attentive, friendly and helpful staff. This time I had the steak and ale pie and it was absolutely delicious, and cannot believe how full it was with tender chunks of beef in a yummy rich gravy/sauce. Plus perfectly cooked broccoli and carrots, and fab chips and lashing of gravy in a gravy boat. Thank you again for a lovely and brilliant value meal 2 nights running.

This place is a hidden gem. Food was really good and reasonably priced. Service excellent as well so would definitely go back

Great place for a Sunday carvery with a lift for those with mobility issues. Very friendly staff and great food.

Absolutely beautiful rump steak. Brilliant staff. Don't be deceived with the outside. Go in. Absolutely amazing. Thankyou for making our end of our holiday a night to remember. We will most definitely return

Staff lovely & friendly, all food amazingly fresh, hot & really nice. Plenty of it. Would definitely recommend. Spot on 👌 😬

A great value Sunday Carvery. Different prices for different sized plates. We had the small plates (it was more than enough). Very tasty, with a good service & plenty of seasonal veg - all cooked really well, without being over-cooked. Friendly staff. We will be back.

Didn't get the meal I ordered. Then tried to say it was!

Didn't have food just a quick drink but staff very jolly and helpful

What a brilliant place! Meal was delicious and such good value! £24 for 2 of us for soup which was delicious and a 10oz rump cooked to perfection with chips and a side salad. Highly recommended if in Filey. Staff friendly and top service. Amazing

You'll get a hearty plate of food in here! Recommend 👍

lovely carvery as always. cheap quick service and lots of choice

All round great experience... love the meals in the week but the Sunday carvery was something else! Definitely recommend

Decent carvery but hard al dente veg

Do not be put off by the entrance! Not one to leave reviews but I feel compelled to on this occasion. Whilst not quite hot enough, this Sunday carvery was absolutely delicious. A vast selection of accompaniments, generous helpings of meat, and fantastic, welcoming staff made this one of my favourite carvery experiences in some time. Food was home cooked and prices very reasonable. Will definitely be back next time I am in Filey.

The Buccaneer is a really nice pub with a good atmosphere and good selection of food and drink. We went out of season but the pub was quite busy. Booking is not necessary but is advised. They do special offers on certain nights eg. Tuesday and Thursday are steak nights.

Friendly and helpful staff, nice food especially as it was for a big group

The service was friendly and the carvery was delicious. I’d strongly advise booking a table in advance if you’re planning to visit as they seem to fill up quickly! This is clearly for good reason though.

As always a great Sunday lunch for not much money

Absolutely beautiful Sunday carvery yet again. As regular visitors to Filey with a caravan in the area we always choose smugglers cove for our Sunday lunch and we are never disappointed Staff very friendly and accommodating. The food is just beautiful. We will come back here time and time again hopefully until we are old and grey!!!

Really surprised by how good the food was here! I had a steak and it was lovely. Plenty of food and cooked to perfection.

Friendly staff, excellent meal and plenty of it

Another visit to Filey and another visit to the Smugglers Cove. Every meal we have had here has been lovely. Good selection of food and plenty of it. Quick service, lovely staff.

We just stumbled upon this place whilst on a visit to Filey and decided to give it a try for a Sunday Carvery. We didn’t book, but would recommend as the food was fantastic, in fact probably the best carvery that we have had out ever. The staff were so friendly and helpful and will definitely return here to eat when we return. Thank You everyone at the Smugglers Cove.

The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Portions were huge. I couldn't eat all my steak pie. Service was very friendly and reliable. Would go back if I didn't live so far away.

Popped in with the family. Great place. Food was great, service was great. Would thoroughly recommend

I felt comfortable to eat there on my own

On a short trip to Filey, we ate here. We have eaten here before, and have never been disappointed. The food is great quality, and is served with a very warm welcome. If you’re about on a Sunday make sure you have the carvery, it’s awesome! (Make sure you book!) It’s very child friendly so that’s a bonus. We found that most places are closed for food on Mondays nights, so make sure you book at Smuggles cove as it gets busy.

Went to the Buccaneer to see Over the limit, three brilliant musicians. Not a fan of all their songs they chose but they did them well. Would definitely go to see them again.

We're on holiday in Filey and went for dinner here 7 of us, 4 adults and 3 children. The service was really good, the staff were friendly and helpful. Great selection of food, including vegan options! Excellent choice of wines and great prices. The portions were huge and the food was excellent. Then 5 of us had dessert again great choices and massive portions. We will be back next time we're in Filey.

Booked for Saturday night for a meal and to see the band. The burger meal was excellent proper back bacon not the streaky stuff. . I asked for proper chips instead of fries. The home made onion rings were fantastic. Quite a few drink offers on . All in all a good night thank you

Sunday lunch Carvery is spot on!! Lots of choice and well served . Great value and fabulous family and friendly place . Highly recommend!!

Very good value for money on the specials nice atmosphere went here 2 days.on trot will eat here again if we come back to Filey

Went last night for mums birthday. Great staff fantastic food good price. Definitely worth a visit. Steak and ail pie was the best I have add And the small Steak was a good size and cooked perfect Thanks for a great night

Great place for a drink and eat at a reasonable price

Last minute stop thanks to google. Food was delicious, portions generous, great value for money. Kind and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend.

Popped in for Sunday lunch after seeing the 18 veg advertised on the board outside. The lunch was great, 3 meats plus a homemade pie to choose from. Vegetables were plentiful, liked that you could fill a gravy boat and take it back to your table.

Would highly recommend Sunday lunch. They must have been 24 different vegetables and 4 meats to choose from. They even did me gluten-free Yorkshire puddings. They do different size plates, small, reg, large, mega, for kids & oap. We will be back.

Called for lunch and wanted fish and chips but it was not on the lunch menu this was no problem for the very helpful staff who said we can serve you fish and chips and wow when the plates came out we all said the same look at the size of the fish it was a first class meal with very friendly staff who were brilliant we will certainly be returning.

Always lovely and warm and comfortable. Locals friendly and welcoming. Meal were lovely, well worth a visit.

We decided to eat here on Wednesday night, the decor was a little dated but the food was amazing especially if you're a big eater. I ordered fish, chips & mushy peas, when the waitress brought it out it was massive, followed by a bowl of salad followed by bread and butter. It was so tasty and cooked perfectly. my husband had the steak and ale pie which was also really tasty. The girls behind the bar and waitresses were so lovely and friendly. We couldn't decide where to eat Thursday, I tried the chinese restaurant across the road but it was a 2 hour wait so we decided to go back to the smugglers cove, it was steak night, we were not disappointed, the steak was delicious and perfectly cooked, I added stilton sauce as an extra. I'm so glad we chose this restaurant.

We stumbled across the place and couldn't have found anywhere better. We were a family of 7 and they had no tables when we first arrived. We have a drink in the bar area while we waited. The bar had a friendly atmosphere and plenty of drink choices. We were seated promptly by the friendly staff and nothing seemed too much trouble. The food arrived in good time and was incredible. All 7 meals were good quality and hot. I would highly recommend this place to anybody and we will be back on our next visit.

Excellent food, promotions and service. Was very busy when we arrived without a booking, but big thanks to the hard working and friendly staff for arranging a table.

19 of us booked in here for an evening meal and all went very smoothly after a few booking issues The food was good and plentiful The staff were friendly and efficient The prices were affordable What more could you want other than to be surrounded by Pirates within the decor!

Went her with my Mrs , both had a hot beef sandwich on a ciabatta , 1 pint of Guiness , 1 dark fruits. Sandwiches were very nice . On checking the bill later we found that even tho the drinks were both priced at...

Had a fantastic meal with the 2 for £24 offer. The amount of food was excellent value for money. Couldn't fault it one bit. Even the desserts where homemade definitely recommend the apple pie and the crumble. Staff where first class hat's off to you...

Well all the years I've been going to Filey I never knew this place existed. Our usual place nearby was closed so a quick Google for carverys and this place popped up. Was really easy to find. First impressions I wasn't sure what to expect....

The food here is very good. Busy place need to book on a Sunday. Sunday lunch has choice of plate sizes for carvery. Decor hasn't changed for years. Lovely staff.

Great carvery , nice hot food, friendly staff

Excellent Christmas Day dinner. Lovely food, very friendly and very knowledgeable staff who catered for us excellently as one vegetarian and one gluten free. Thank you

Had Christmas Lunch at The Buccaneer, excellent service from the hard working friendly staff & quality food, definitely recommended, we were the couple sat on the stage table. We eat here several times a year & have never had anything to complain about👍👍

After a bit of ups and downs on whether we would be able to make Christmas Dinner due to a poorly family member which Ralph dealt with fairly we arrived at 12.45 for our meal. Our arrival drinks and starters came within 5 minutes and...

I Visited here and the food been served around me looked beautiful and to be fair my partner enjoyed his meal, hence giving 2 star however my meal was disgusting and unfortunately I left the entire meal. I ordered a hunters chicken and expected it to come as it usually does a chicken breast wrapped with a small piece of bacon around some melted cheese and some BBQ sauce over the top, I was very mistaken. The chicken breast was served in a dish and it looked like it was drowning in a bath of BBQ sauce, It looked like an entire bottle or jar had been poured on and It tasted vile. It had 2 pieces of fat (hardly any bacon to be seen ) wrapped around it and which was pale and just not nice. The whole presentation of the dish was awful and far to much sauce used. Personally for me not my idea of a hunters chicken looked more like a bath of sauce. Unfortunately I won’t be returning and would not recommend the hunters chicken however the other food did look ok, just wanted to give my review as I visited after most reviews were good but for me it certainly wasn’t.

During half term we spent a couple of days in Filey. We ate twice at this place and both times were great. We ate off the menu one night and then the carvery on the Sunday. The food was piping hot, and the staff were...

If you follow a gluten free diet, I can highly recommend this restaurant. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and polite. I had a gluten free Yorkshire pudding with the carvary and a gluten free chocolate brownie, all food was delicious.

First time we have visited, well run and organised. Staff very friendly and helpful Would recommend to anyone in the area. 😀

I had a steak here with friends and although my friends meals were fine. I ordered a medium steak however, my steak was badly burnt at one end. It was hid under chips and veg so I couldn’t see it until I removed these. They...

Had Sunday lunch great choice of meat and veg different choice of gravy well worth the money highly recommended

I visited here with my friend while I am on holiday in Filey and after reading the reviews, I just had to visit. I was under the impression that the food at lunch time is incredible as my friend is local to filey and told...

Never been here before but trusted reviews and turned up at 2pm on a busy Sunday.Greeted by a kind and polite gentleman who explained they were full but very kindly fitted us in for 3.30. We came back early at 3.10 to find that the...

Friendly staff & food good. Flight of stairs to access, so no good if your disabled. Also a bar area with live music, starts about 9pm.

Went here twice in a week great food portion size good. Good quality food clean tidy place. Staff attentive without being fussy. Good prices for food and drinks. Muscles were amazing, both nights we went super quality of food. Highly recommend this place. If I didn't live 2 hours away I'd be going at least once a week. If you're in Filey definitely the place to visit.book if you can especially on a Monday not many places open on a Monday

My elderly mum and I visited the Buchaneer for the first time on Sunday lunch time. What an enjoyable experience! The staff were really attentive and the carvery was lovely. I would highly recommend this place.

Lovely friendly pub child friendly too Great drink prices and food

Great food 🍴🍕🍔 great staff very welcoming will be going again👍👍

It doesn't look much from outside and you have to go upstairs but then it opens out into a vast space. I admit we were a little dubious but it seemed one of the few places open and there were people inside, which was encouraging....

Had a fabulous meal here muscles for myself lasagne for hubby both wonderful good quality food staff great happy and attentive without being over baring. Cocktails cobra venom mmm tipsy. But fabulous night highly recommend so much so we're here again great quality and great...

We enjoyed eating here on two evenings. The food was excellent, the staff friendly and a lovely ambience in the dining area.

Large portions and friendly staff would go again

During our four night stay in Filey, we were struggling one night to find somewhere to eat that wasn't fully booked (or even open) when we came upon The Buccaneer. As the Smuggler's Cove restaurant was upstairs, we couldn't even see if it was open...

Only giving the 2 stars instead of one based on the variety they have although mash weren't mashed full spud at bottom of the scoop food all had same bland taste staff quite opinionated and up their ....... Not exactly what I'd call family friendly and prices starting at £6.95 for a tiny tiny plate I've definitely had better quality bigger and cheaper. Felt rather let down at the experience especially to say locals were saying it's best grub in town! Definitely a different town to eat in from now on

From the outside, this place looks a bit run down, dark and gloomy with an entrance going straight upstairs so you can't see inside properly. But after reading good reviews we booked a table for Sunday carvery. We were seated promptly and drinks arrived. We...

This restaurant is buried at the back of a pub which isn’t pushchair friendly due to the number of stairs to get to the restaurant. It’s quite a dark restaurant as well as cramped as there’s lots of tables in a small area. The fish...

Large portions from comprehensive menu (though there is the choice of smaller portions!). Very good and well cooked food served by pleasant and smart staff. Drinks at reasonable prices and when we ate there, there was a special offer of 2 for 1 on gin...

Was very sceptical about this place as from the outside it doesn’t look my cup of tea but boy was I wrong. Second visit to Filey in 7 months and couldn’t avoid it for much longer as was stuck for somewhere to eat as had...

The prices advertised are not the amount that you may be charged, clearly locals and tourist prices are being used. See photos

We have visited this establishment many times over the past few years, to both eat and drink with little if anything to complain about, however last night sat 16th april, we were let down badly by the terrible service we recieved. It has to be...

First time here and boy was not disappointed. The staff are very friendly and the food WOW it was amazing. Will definitely be going back.

The Buccaneer is a great find in Filey, friendly staff good 🍺👍 came across Murphy's for 3,quid a pint in happy hour 12/6. I was on a liquid lunch myself but the meals i saw being given to other customers looked and smelt lovely at...

There was 6 adults in my party the Sunday lunch was fantastic loads of thick cut meet and x3 different types of potatoes and loads of different veg there is a choice of gravy one with onions and one without and a great idea you...

Excellent Sunday lunchtime meal of quality served by pleasant and friendly staff. First time visiting and highly recommended.

Great food and a lovely atmosphere...would recommend.

Our first time here and was very impressed with the quick service and the friendliness of the staff. The food was of an excellent standard, plentiful and well presented. If my wife and I are in the area again we will definitely be back.

This was a spur of the minute decision to come for a late tea My god it was well worth the effort, food here is very very good and the portion sizes are big And to top it off theakston bitter on hand pull If...

Ignore the moaners, food was lovely, very plentiful if anything the portions were too big but depends on your appetite. The service was good, very polite and efficient. Prices were good and the experience was absolutely fine, it's not the Ritz but the prices reflect...

Met with friends for a carvery. Lovely place, themed restaurant. Caters for everyone. Good atmosphere when you walk in. Excellent carvery, choice of meats with a large selection of vegetables and Yorkshire pudding. Very good value for money. Tasted delicious. Different offers on during the...

The prices here are very reasonable. As are the size of meals. But IMO the beer batter on the fish is far too thick and stodgy. Fish batter needs to be crispy and light. Plus it be time to clean or change the fat used...

We had a great meal here - we were warned of a wait, but food arrived in 25 minutes which was absolutely fine (and which many places wouldn't have warned about). My linguine pescatorra was delicious, and exactly what I want to eat at the...

Walked in and four of us seated. Minimal starters on the menu but the main courses absolutely fantastic. Ribeye Steak so tender and large portion size, if you order Ribs expect the rack and tasted excellent. Dinner portions not for people with a weak appetite. All the meals placed on the table were served hot and in a timely fashion. Gary in the restaurant worked hard and so friendly and polite. This would be my local if I lived in the area. I will be back.
