The Bridge Inn in Scarborough

Had the gammon and the fish cougons both well prepared and cooked and presented well. Nice atmosphere and open longer hours which is good. However I would say that the drinks a little expensive for a regular outing.

An amazing local pub with a beer garden that has the most wonderful out look for you to discover. The food is pub grub at it finest, and the service is attentive, discreet and friendly. The beer is very well kept and there is a good selection of local ales, gins etc, more than enough to choose from. The locals are friendly and entertaining and the bar is doggo friendly 🐕🐾. I highly recommend the hot meat sub with chunky chips and gravy, it is a true find and the perfect quick bite, as you can see from photos they smelt that good we forgot to take a photo before we started eating. They also cater for gluten free and vegetarians. Can't recommend this place enough, go on down and give it a try I don't believe it would disappoint!!

Food superb lovely friendly staff, dog friendly x

Brilliant hope cooked food, good staff , friendly people. Fantastic will go again.

Lovely little local pub. The service was friendly, the food good and the Draught Whitby Blonde was excellent.

Sunday lunch is excellent, but book ahead. Loved the sticky toffee pudding and custard, plenty of everything sponge toffee sauce and custard. Very friendly staff and locals if I lived nearby it would by my local.

Went for Sunday lunch, staff we're lovely and attentive. Toilets were a struggle to get into so could do with updating. Had a lovely view of the river and train line. Seating was a bit basic but OK. The food was nice but we thought there wasn't enough veg and a tade expensive for the amount. Parking is a nightmare but we were lucky and got in on the side street. On the whole we would visit again.

Lovely local, good carvery, fabulous staff and great food.

Just passing and the food smelt nice so decided to call in .absolutely gorgeous food and loads of it 😋 and a very reasonable price

Great food (ate here twice on a long weekend visit), nice beers, and brilliant staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome and well looked after. Proper pub. Small cosy bar, and a couple of other rooms to eat in, plus a riverside/trackside patio. Even sorted a pot of milk for us to take back to our poorly-supplied cottage so we could make tea! Lovely place, thanks.

Monday night and a warm welcome to this delightful inn. Food is excellent and bring your best appetite as the portions do not disappoint. Good drinks range and very warm and friendly staff. Thanks for a lovely evening meal.

Friendly attentive staff. Very quiet lunch time visit food was good.

Lovely, cosy pub with friendly staff and punters.

Such a warm and friendly welcome from the staff and the locals. The food is AMAZING, accidental drop in for lunch had us return for breakfast the next day, evening meal the following day and a breakfast to send us on our way home our last day. Seriously! If you fancy a drive out, it really is worth it.... Dog friendly, too..

Always a joy to dine here. Wonderful food, friendly staff always so keen to please.

Been for lunch today was really nice friendly staff

The Bridge Inn was recommended by the local guest house owners we were staying with. We had planned to drive into Whitby for dinner. We must say we’re so pleased we visited the Bridge Inn instead & would highly recommend! We received a warm welcome, the atmosphere was cosy & the staff were so accommodating & friendly. All the food was homemade & so tasty. It was clear to see the thought & effort that had been put into each dish. My husband had a huge home made Yorkshire pud with mash, 3 huge quality sausages & veg of his choice. I had the best vegetable lasagne, chips, salad & garlic bread. Sticky toffee pud with custard was a delight & I couldn’t help but pinch some from my husband. I had the best mocha hot drink with a baileys on the side. Cost just over £50 with a Guinness & was well worth it. Will definitely be calling in again when in the area 🥰

This was a beautiful sunday lunch only fault was you only got 1 roast potato otherwise superb sticky toffee pudding lovely

beautiful sunday dinner with side plates of interesting veg, a decent pint, helpful staff, quick friendly service, whats not to like 😉

Great meal good choice of home made food and a couple of decent beers. No car park so at busy times of day parking could a problem. Changed hands now food nowhere near as good,but passable

Great find, friendly helpful staff, lovely food, well kept beer, really couldn't fault the place. Can't wait to return

We had Sunday lunch here - we both had the smaller portion which was plenty. The food was delicious, especially the rhubarb and apple pie I had for dessert. Lovely food, lovely staff and the place was spotless.

Went in for lunch and had subs & brunch items, washed down with local ales; good craic with the staff too 👍🏻

Fantastic Sunday roast with 7 ex rugby players It was so good one of our party even licked the plate A proper pub cosy and friendly service makes all the difference

Landlord very friendly, very comfortable lovely open fire .

Lovely family and dog friendly pub. Good beer and food.

We stayed at Ruswarp Hall down the road. We arrived on a Monday evening and were starving after our drive up! We walked in and found the atmosphere very cosy, there were Halloween decorations up and not many people inside. I had fish and chips, my partner had cheeseburger. The portions were huge and the food was a bit on the pricey side, but the service was faultless.

Absolutely brilliant staff. Really friendly. Top food.

This is what I call a real pub ..good beer, food and service but beyond that a friendly atmosphere where you can chat,share experiences in front of an open fire. Relax. Wonderful...and that's from a woman on her own. I'll be back

Wonderful Sunday lunch, my wife is vegetarian and found the produce all made from fresh veg and plentiful, I had the beef which was also very good. I was too full to try the dessert. Will go again even tho 25 miles away.

Sunday dinners are amazing best place to go for good food

First of all there is no car parking at this venue so ensure you park on the adjacent road or further back along the road next to the river near where they moor the rowing boats up. The pub is welcoming, often busy and you'll be seated within a few minutes. I can recommend the bottled Cider as this is what I drank on both visits to the pub. The Sunday lunch is excellent, a choice of Beef, Lamb or Pork with all the trimmings. It was very good value for money with enough meat for everyone. You can ask for and get more gravy which is imperative with a Sunday Roast. On the second occasion I had the Mince and Onion pie which was homemade and full of filling. All round excellent.

Not sure where to go I goggled the best Sunday lunches in Whitby,and the Bridge inn was number 1. We where not disappointed. 4 meats to choose,loads of vegetables and 2 type's of potato, lovely light Yorkshire pudding all superb. Didn't really need a dessert the the lady said they where all homemade, I had blackforest gateau, which was to die for . Could not recommend this pub more . It's not fine dining,but that's not what you want when you're having a roast dinner. Thank you for a lovely time

Great little pub. Good food and real ale.

A traditional Sunday lunch. One of the best I've had, make sure you're hungry because the portions are not only delicious but generous and the service with a friendly welcome. Everything was perfect. We can't wait to return.

Down for the weekend popped into the Bridge Inn for evening meal

We have been staying in Ruswarp for years and it wasn’t the same when the pub was closed but what a wonderful experience the new (1 year) owners have made. All the staff were friendly and welcoming and this led to a great interaction between staff and customers alike. The atmosphere was great and we ended visiting every day of our visit. Our 3 labs were made very welcome and we can’t wait to visit again in December. If you like a relaxed friendly environment with pleasant conversation and good beer this is the place for you 🍻

Busy Friday night when we went, food was amazing, service was great staff were really friendly and helpful definitely worth a visit

Read online reviews first and found all the positives to be correct .Stayed for a few days in Ruswarp and called in for an evening meal.Food,Staff, service all were excellent,the pub was just an ideal stop for a meal. Just as pubs used to be years ago.

First visit for me since it’s reopened. Very pleasant staff and a good hearty Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. I especially liked the fact that you can choose a smaller portion so you’re not outfaced or want to leave room for a pudding. The pork was delicious. Lovely pub.

Best Sunday lunch we’ve had in a while Different size portions available with plenty of tasty meat. Great portion of vegetables and gravy. They also were able to sell us an extra portion of roast potatoes. Only managed one dessert between us. Biscoff Cheesecake with ice cream (Amazing) The owners had been there for just a year ad have clearly put their mark on the place. Entertainment provided nearly every night. Would definitely return when we’re here again. Thank you 😊

Excellent food and service. Very friendly. We can highly recommend a visit to The Bridge Inn, Ruswarp.

Good value meals staff extremely attentive and helpful

Sunday lunch was very nicely served very tasty and very traditional.

Great pub good food, quick service...

Stopped for lunch Friday 15/9. Outstanding home made beer battered fish goujons, chips and all the trimmings. Great idea serving main courses as lite bites too - still a decent portion. Must mention Sarah the lovely barmaid too - friendly and efficient. Thanks to all involved- good luck with this family venture.

The food was excellent, fresh, service brilliant, well done

We came here on the off-chance there was a spare table. They found us one inside the pub within minutes. We ordered Sirloin steak, fish goujons, and scampi. Food was spot on! We are just about to leave here. If we lived in the area we'd eat here quite regularly. The team are friendly. Place is clean too.

Great little beer garden overlooking the river and the nym railway. Didn't have food on this visit

Really good quick service & the food is fabulous. Recommended by a friend & we weren't disappointed

Stayed in the village for a night. This was the only place to eat and what a pleasant surprise. Lovely view from the back terrace. Very fresh food. We both had a different salad. Good selection of reasonably priced beers. Personal and friendly service. Well done.!!!!!

Great place to stop and have a drink and watch the steam trains go by.

If you love a good steak, eat here! I like mine rare but the waiter recommended blue - great recommendation as it was cooked perfectly! So was everything else, from the lovely chips to the light and crispy onion rings. Wish I lived nearby and wasn't just visiting as I'd eat here more often!

Great find, had roast beef sub with chips and gravy , real chips, fantastic value and great service.

I cannot recommend the Bridge Inn more highly. We arrived from the beach with a tired toddler and excitable dog at the end of a busy lunch period. Despite this all the staff we met couldn't have been more friendly, welcoming and helpful. They sorted out umbrellas and dry seats for us, came and took our order swiftly and really made us feel welcome. The food was excellent and really big portions - well worth the price which is not extravagant. The beer was also really good and obviously kept well - having run a pub myself in the past I notice this when I eat out. As the main was so good, I wanted to try a dessert even though I was full and I had the best Eton mess I've ever had. I was genuinely sad when I'd finished it. If you're staying in Whitby avoid the overpriced, rammed places in the centre and drive a couple of miles out to the Bridge. You'll not regret it.

Booked for 2 + our little dog. Entering the pub we were meet by friendly staff and a few chatty locals, being seated in the bar created a great atmosphere for our meal. We both choose the lasagne which was lovely, very tasty and plentiful for a reasonable price. Would recommend The Bridge Inn. *****

Lovely little pub where you can see the steam train passing at the end of the garden. Delicious food

The Coal House Merchant B&B, where we stayed, recommended the Bridge Inn. We went with another couple. The food was very good. We will go there again when we visit Whitby. Staff very friendly. Good location.

Excellent pub....even better for train spotters...as sitting outside they are so close

Finding The Bridge Inn on our first day made our Holiday. Asked for Gluten Free options and they made the batter fresh, and it was excellent. Very friendly staff, great atmosphere and lovely food which you can swap around so you can have the hand cut chips if you want. Lovely outdoor seating area next to the river and train line so you can watch the birds on the river or the occasional train trundle past. We stayed at Ruswarp Hall, 200 yards up the road. There's a footpath into Whitby across the road so we walked into Whitby and called into the Bridge on our way back and did this every night.

Excellent food. Excellent service and a very friendly atmosphere.

Rude staff, tasteless bland food at a not very reasonable price. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Disappointing to say the least.

Friendly accomodating staff, lovely situated area by the river esk.

I Don’t Know Why people bring their dogs in to food serving premises

Great pub we were on holiday and called in for a drink and meal ! You were made to feel we were locals very nice experience.

Lovely find. Excellent food and large portions! I had the homemade lasagne which was amazing and staff were all lovely and accommodating! Thanks so much!

Beautifully located in the picturesque village of Ruswarp and the steam train runs right past the bear garden. Sunday lunch was fantastic, home made Yorkshires, roasties and gravy, large potion sizes and a great selection of meats and fresh veg. The desserts were fantastic ( particularly the sticky toffee pud). 3 ales on behind the bar and a lovely warm and welcoming bar area with friendly staff. The only difficulty we had was parking as there is no designated car park and there's limited parking in the village. Would definitely recommend though and would certainly visit again.

First class, true home cooked food. 10 out of 10, they couldn't do enough for us , very dog friendly.

Lovely pub. The food was fantastic and the staff were very friendly and very helpful. Would highly recommend a visit to this pub

Sat in beer garden with the Mrs and dog after a 6 mile walk,Steam train went past right next to us,nice atmosphere and staff very accommodating,

Highly recommended! Great food & drinks and the beer garden is fantastic when the steam train goes past.

Visited on a Monday evening - was busy and the food coming out of the kitchen looked great - so we decided to stay. We both had sirloin steaks - impressed that there were 2 sizes available. I had a 6oz and hubby had a...

Short menu meant that everything was good. Friendly service, dog welcomed. Heavy metal playing gently in the background

Nice, traditional pub. Friendly people and lovely homemade pub grub. Dog friendly. We saw the steam train run pass the back, which was cool.

Had an amazing Sunday dinner here. Pretty little pub. Awesome views of the railway from the back garden.

It was good to see Bridge open again. we walked from whitby and called for a quick drink. Friendly welcome. We will be back next time we in the area and hopefully have time to try a meal

Called in for a drink and the new landlady and the bar staff were very welcoming. Didn’t eat there as we had already had a meal so can’t comment on the food but the beer was well kept and spot on.

This is not a review of the food, rather the overall experience, such as it was! We arrived with the intention of eating, looked around and found all the tables in the two small dining rooms reserved so ordered just one soft drink, requested menus...

Cracking little pub with great food, well kept ales and friendly staff. A small beer garden to the rear has super views of the passing trains (steam if you're lucky) as well as the adjacent river Esk. Bring your duck food for added company 🦆

Fantastic food at reasonable prices. Quality pint. Friendly and attentive staff. Lovely spot 👌

Amazing view from the small beer garden on a sunny day; beautiful hanging baskets and the gorgeous river Esk. Such a peaceful spot to enjoy dinner and a beverage! I had the home made lasagne which was delicious. Will definitely return if in the Ruswarp...

Average to good basic pub food Good portions except the chillie not much rice. Good staff nice setting

Amazing food , portions massive but lovely, staff all lovely and sitting outside while the sun set was a great atmosphere

My wife and I were staying at the Hall. we went for and evening meal and a drink. The staff were superb, friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. The food was AMAZING and the portions big w to satisfy the largest appetite. Finally, the beers were in first class condition, clear as a bell and clung to the sides. Perfection!

Food is basic pub food but portions sizes are generous. Disappointed that the chips were frozen and mine were definitely were NOT handcut neither looking like or tasting homemade. Staff polite and welcoming

Was disappointed as only a basic menu of pub food with nothing out of the ordinary. The chips are Frozen. On the plus side the portions are generous and prices average for the area. Staff polite and service quick. Willing to adapt my choice the...

Great full English breakfast at a good price and our 4 year old loved the kids ice cream 🍨 and watching the Steam train pass by. Can definitely recommend

A delightful place. Dog friendly. But I'd rather not have dogs in the restaurant area. Maybe restrict dogs to the bar area, then everybody is happy

Great 👍 to see this place open permanently again. It truly is a hub for locals and visitors a like. I received a friendly welcome from both staff and customers every time I popped in during my stay in Ruswarp (June 2023). Fosters £4.30, Moretti £5.20.

Super super pub, staff were really friendly and the food, oh my giddy aunt, what can I say except for, it was amazing and each meal we had was different, but all was equally amazing! The pubs location was in a beautiful spot, particularly the...

Lovely village pub Good food and a good range of beers Very friendly place too

Always ok nice hard working people

Great evening with the dog friendly garden

Lovely experience for an evening out. Lovely friendly staff, tasty food, a good choice of drinks and a relaxed atmosphere.

Great place. On the river aswell

Great food, really friendly staff who can’t do enough for people. Saw two friendly dogs in the pub spill a bit of water, the owner asked for some roll to clean it up with and the waitress/barmaid came to do it and wouldn’t let the owner sort it. Really good experience. Thank you!

Great food and drink down by the river, the passing steam train is just a bonus

Lovely Pub with great atmosphere, ideal for dog walkers , families etc … it’s just a traditional pub in a beautiful location next to the railway line where you get a a very close view train spotting the Steam Trains in the busy holidays and weekends… You Also will get to see some of the local reprobates exampled in the photo 😂

Really friendly service and fantastic Sunday roast… good value.

Enjoyed having a Yorkshire gin in their lovely garden!
