The Bridge Inn in Scarborough

Popped in during our walk from Sleights to Whitby and we weren't disappointed. We received a warm welcome and our request for a vegan breakfast was catered for by changing items on the vegetarian option resulting in a very tasty and filling meal. Top marks to the staff.

We came to have a drink and eat as we were staying in the village. I am from the area and visiting family. On entry we were given dirty looks by the locals and told rudely that we would have to sit outside for food without even welcoming us or asking what we were there for. It was very much like the pub scene of American werewolf in

Sunday lunch mean with the beef veg and potato's v good staff lovely.family on next table had beef overload on their plate

Sat in pub garden and what's steam train pass by lovely weather food brill service fabulous

Tried the new ‘Easter Sunday’. It was so beautiful! Me and my family shared it while we was in the garden having a lovely pint and it was just perfect. You NEED to try this.

Recomendaría encarecidamente este pub que era tan amable y la comida era comida casera real que sabía tan bien. Entramos con nuestros dos cockerpoos y al instante se hicieron sentir bienvenidos y a gusto. 10 de cada 10 de nosotros xxx

We had supper and a pint last night at the Bridge Inn. There are well over 600 google reviews and almost all are five stars. I have no idea what happenned where we where concerned but our experience with the food was awful. I had Pea and Ham Soup and the level of salt was like sucking on an oxo cube. I like salted food but this seemed deliberate. My wifes cheese pannini, was pretty awful. The Moretti was very nice but as I said the food quality was so poor we can not in good conscious ever return. Its a shame because the local people all seemed to be having a marvelous time.

Fabulous village pub. They made us feel so welcome like we were locals. The food was delicious plentiful and great value. Great drink menu too with an amazing local distilled Gin selection x Can't recommend this place enough 😋 shame we don't live closer. Cheers

Excelente comida, lovley chaty y personal alegre, . A la casera le encanta interactuar con sus clientes llamará de nuevo. qué pub agradable con un ambiente encantador.

Had Sunday lunch today great food, cosy pub very friendly staff , we will be sure to return next time we are in the area.

Just called in on route for a quick half while on a mini break........four drinks later, we found ourselves feeling like it had been our local for years. We didn't eat, as nothing from the menu jumped out at us. Maybe next time.

¡Qué bar tan agradable y acogedor! El personal Rosie y Rob y Amanda nos hicieron sentir como lugareños desde el primer día que los conocimos durante nuestra estancia de semana en Sneaton. La hospitalidad y la comida era 2nd a ninguno y atendió a mi marido que es sin gluten. Nada era demasiado problema. Gracias de nuevo y espero volver a verte el año que viene Gracias Sue y Mark

Nipped in for a Sunday roast when we were travelling through - really glad we did! Walking in felt like walking into a proper English pub, people sitting round socialising round a fire enjoying a drink. We had reserved a table in the seating area. All the staff were really friendly and made time for the kids as well. The Sunday menu was very simple, but was really well done, including a great gluten free roast! I gem of a pub!

Sunday dinner, roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, and trimmings followed by bread and butter pudding. Everything excellent. Beer was good too. Definitely recommend.

A most enjoyable Sunday lunch. I chose 'small'. It was very generous. 5 fresh veg including cauliflower in cheese sauce. Roast and mash potato. Amazing value. Very welcoming. Friendly pub atmosphere

Lovely local pub. Great staff. Excellent home cooked food. Yummy steak pie.

Beautiful pub, had a nice local booze selection aswell

Really tasty Sunday dinner including veggie option. Thanks very much.

Lovely food, nice selection of beer and wine and spirits , friendly people and friendly staff

Very friendly staff and very helpful. Turned up on Saturday and got us a table straight away. The food was good and I especially enjoyed the bread and butter pudding. Would definitely recommend this pub for something to eat, very tasty and a reasonable price. Will visit again

Pub was lovely and warm on a very cold evening. Staff welcoming & food delicious. Gammon best ever tasted and lasagna again was great. They do small portions ( certainly enough for myself) . We always try to eat here when in Whitby. Good to see most of tables taken too. During summer there is an outdoor seating area which overlooks the train line and estuary.

While staying in Ruswarp over the New Year, my wife and I visited hear most nights. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the service was 1st class. We were there on New years Eve and were made very welcome by the locals too. We didn't actually eat there, but the food looked very nice. On New years Eve, we went to an Italian restaurant until around eightish and then went back to The Bridge to see the New Year in. While we were there, the kitchen staff brought out meat pie & peas which looked amazing but we refused them ( not like me to refuse food) as we were stuffed from the Italian. We were greeted and made very welcome again on New years Day for an evening drink even though there were only 6 of us in 2 of which were staff 😀 . A brilliant place for a drink or food

Found this pub on a walk from Whitby to Ruswarp through the woods. It was a cold damp January day and we were met by extremely friendly staff and a roaring fire. We ate here and the food was very good. Had a real traditional feel to it. It was the best Chicken and mushroom pie I'd ever had and I let them know it. Then the chef came out for a chat and told me where to get the meat from (Local butchers in the village) and what spices to put in it, Brilliant.

Food was delicious, hit the spot after a walk. Staff were very friendly and polite. Great seating inside and out. Close up view of the steam train line!

Lovely food, lovely people, would definitely recommend 👌 😀

Good home cooked substantial food.

Had lunch here and was expecting better as other reviewers had been recommending. The scampi and chips was ok but my pie of the day was below average. The pie was mince and onions , the mince was lumpy and the short crust pastry had been microwaved and was very soggy, for the price I would’ve expected better. The service was ok and the beer was excellent.

Had a Sunday lunch in this small, cosy pub. Food was first class and good VFM. Nice choice of beers and average prices. Service was quick.

Fantastic local pub with excellent food and lovely staff.

Called in for lunch, not booked, team made us so welcome, dinner was amazing, plentiful and good quality .

Great little pub with a cracking atmosphere.

Love this place great atmosphere and friendly staff! Also offers dog free dining separate to the dog friendly areas, food yummy.

Lovely pub, warm welcome, beautiful food and a great view.

Excelente comida - gran relación calidad-precio, buena calidad, comida deliciosa y personal amable encantador que sabe cómo ofrecer un buen servicio al cliente!

Very traditional pub with a good range of drinks.

Hemos estado antes en el puente tenemos una caravana de temporada y la comida es deliciosa probada de nuevo esta noche absolutamente hermoso Tenía filete perfecto y marido tenía lugar de gammon en el personal muy acogedor y acogedor muy amable con ganas de ir de nuevo

Absolutely faultless all round. Meals where spot on. Great size portions. Highly recommend the Gammon. Staff where polite and friendly.

We stumbled on this pub while looking for a place to have Sunday lunch. Sarah and the team were amazing and made us feel part of the family. Great pub, fantastic service and top notch food. We returned twice more for dinner and breakfast, both of which were fantastic. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Whitby area.

Lovely village pub. We came along for lunch on a Monday, after walking to the Larpool Viaduct, so it was quiet but had a lovely meal. Staff were great and very accommodating ie if you wanted a smaller portion or slightly different from the menu, they were very happy to serve. Sat in the small conservatory in the sunshine. Lovely outdoor space too. We were surprised, and pleased, that the Yorkshire Moors steam train line runs alongside and the fabulous old steam train passed within 10 metres of the conservatory and beer garden. Great little pub with a great big welcome.

The boiler broke down so we were not able to have a meal.

Lovely proper pub atmosphere very friendly staff and customers,beer was excellent and good honest home cooked food. It was well worth crossing the road most nights for. Brilliant

Had amazing home cooked roast at bridge inn. Dog friendly, staff friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend

Beautiful views over the river. The food is okay but the service wasn't great and got ignored when I went to pay the bill. Still worth a visit

Great 👍 to see this place open permanently again. It truly is a hub for both locals and visitors a like. I receive a friendly welcome from staff and customers every time I pop in when in Ruswarp. Food is great 👍. I took the precaution to book Friday and Sunday dinner, glad I did as busy. Food was amazing 😋, service impeccable. Thank you for looking after me.

Great pub friendly staff good food dog friendly can highly recommend

Cosy, and very dog friendly. So glad this pub reopened.

We visit here quite regularly, always a warm welcome and great food, we try and attempt the quiz too

Absolutely beautiful place wit great atmosphere 👌

Food was excellent and plentiful. I got the ham and potato salad, my friend got the crab and prawn salad. Both were really tasty and huge! The gentleman offered to package up the half meals we couldn’t manage when he saw we were struggling. Recommend

The food was beautifully presented, tasty and well cooked and the staff went the extra mile to mark my mum and sisters birthdays. Lovely clean pub, friendly service, good value and a lovely village setting.

Lovely place with nice area at the back overlooking the railway Bridge and river, Nice staff also

Dirty , over priced , staff are rude . Not reccomended

Lovely attentive staff Food fabulous Beer good price wine was expensive but nice.

Best Sunday Roast I’ve ever had eating out! Excellent food. Fresh vegetables, large portions of meat, loads of gravy, friendly staff, dog friendly, fast efficient service. Excellent choice of drinks

Whilst looking for a dog friendly place we stumbled upon The Bridge Inn. The food was amazing! My youngest has a very exacting palette and he couldn’t say enough good things about his meal. I am a veggie and am used to the usual boring veggie options-but not this time! Everything is homemade and so delicious. All of the staff were so welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. Finally, the location; Wow! We will definitely be back next time we are in the area

Just had breakfast here, absolutely delicious and great quality. Not cheap ingredients and plenty of butter for the toast. Wonderful staff, I strongly recommend it. Pretty full now. 😀

Great food. They managed to get us in without reservation before the evening rush. Happy to have the dog with us, and although a pub it was table service. The food is typical pub food but considerably better than most restaurants, and decent portion sizes too. I'd recommend the lasagne!

Lovely pub by the railway station. Meals where lovely. 1st day we had lunch there while we waited for our room to be ready at the hotel down the road. I had the beef roll with gravey and chips. Spot on just how I'd have made it. We ate tea time there the day after and breakfast on our last morning. All meals lovely. Staff were cool 😎 as well good to chat too. Very welcoming. Recommended highly. If next year the car show is on we will be back

We both had lasagne one vegetarian one beef really nice

Myself and son ate here four times during our stay in Ruswarp as we loved the place so much. The food was fantastic, even for a very fussy eating 10yr old, who said it should have been award winning. Trust me that is high praise from my son! The people, from Owners, bar and kitchen staff can't do enough for you! We will be sad to be going home and wish it was our local in Leeds.

Awesome welcome for us arriving by River!!!! Thank you.

Came across this gem whilst looking for somewhere to eat during a 3 day trip to Whitby. So glad we stopped here. Wonderful atmosphere, delicious food and such great portions. Sad we don’t live nearby as it could soon become our local. Our thanks to staff for feeding 3 hungry souls. Our grandson thought his apple crumble was “ the best ever”.

Accommodated us even though we hadn't booked lovely friendly staff busy popular Inn would recommend visiting this place if in the area very lovely evening meal really enjoyed everything .

Went for an evening meal and although the service was ok the food left a lot to be desired, Luke warm and the chips, well they must have run out !

Ruswarp is a beautiful village which we always visit when staying in Whitby. We sat in the beer garden out the back which was lovely as it was a sunny day. I had the pie of the day which was mince and veg which was very tasty 😋 and home made chips to go with it. My husband had lasagna which he gave 6 out of 10 for. I'd rate mine as 8.5 out of 10. I would definitely go back but the husband is undecided.

Dinners were small even tho I ordered a large

Lovely friendly local pub. Proper pub grub, home made and tasty. Recommended for a visit, it's only a mile outside Whitby away from all the bustle and has a nice beer garden.

Took me a while to get round to doing this review but anyway. We visited Whitby for a week in February, we ate out every night and to be honest we really struggled to find anywhere too great which wasn't fish and chips - we had young children so everywhere we went needed to be child friendly, anyway on the last night we decided to try this place The Bridge and I'm pleased to say that it did not disappoint, really friendly staff, child friendly with a great kids menu, great country pub atmosphere and the food was easily the best we'd had that week! Highly recommend visiting this place for a nice meal and a drink if you're ever in Whitby.

Beautiful food, amazing beer garden.

A great family run pub that certainly satisfied our stomachs with one of the best Sunday roast dinners my wife and I have had for a very long time. First good point was that we rang them at 5.20pm (on Sunday 7 July 2024) to ask if they were still serving food, the friendly lady said "Yes, up to 6 o'clock" and they had the full range of meats too. So, putting our skates on we drove from our High Normanby camp site to the pub in Ruswarp, and made it 20 minutes later. We had the beef & lamb roast dinners, and, as said above, can honestly say they were absolutely delicious, just like proper home cooking, complete with a separate bowl of leek & cheese sauce. Meat was beautifully tender too. And to top that my wife and I had a pudding each - jam Roly poly and pineapple upside down sponge pudding, both served with an ample jug of custard. Couldn't fault it at all. Even the pub itself is very dog friendly. Great atmosphere. If you're staying nearby, or even within a 10 mile radius, I'd highly recommend you travel to this gem of a pub. You will not be disappointed 😀👍

Really welcoming pud with Beautiful staff ,we had the best Scampi & chips Ever ...x Highly recommend a visit

On holiday and staying at old ticket office and this pub is opposite,lovely place with a nice beer garden overlooking river,good selection of drinks and friendly staff and a great atmosphere,highly recommend,I haven't eaten here as yet but I saw the Sunday roast being dished out and smelt and looked amazing 😍

Beer garden very interesting when the steam trains come by beer is spot on food looks good

Just had a great pub dinner here. They managed to accommodate our late booking. Food was good pub grub. A bit of a delay with our order arriving but that was acknowledged and a reduction to our bill, in our review this was a really good customer service approach and much appreciated. Lovely local vibe, good pub food in a nice setting. We would happily recommend based on our experience today.

Was heading into Whitby for traditional must have fish and chips but the weather changed our minds and we're so happy that it did best lasagne I have ever had. (And I eat it a lot )and my hubby's pie was excellent he said ! We would recommend to anyone visiting the area to come hear lovely atmosphere and dog friendly,(not dog owners but I'm a dog lover )

Lovely village pub, great food and friendly staff, will definitely visit again if im in the area 😊

Amazing Sunday roast. Nice friendly pub.

Lovely pub and lovely landlady with lovely beer. Great to watch the trains go by sitting in the beer garden.

Friendly, excellent staff; delicious food - best scampi and chips in the area; great views of steam trains. Marvellous! Thank you for our fantastic breakfast this morning!

Fabulous food. Great value for money. Portion size very generous. Good quality ingredients.

Stopped here for a bit of lunch after a detour on a walk. Very nice food, staff were lovely too.

Lovely pub, dog friendly. People friendly too. Menu looks great , food next visit.

Really excellent food and service and wonderful staff.

Popped in with a group of friends. The team was very accommodating great food and fantastic service.

Food was lovely on the first night buy then went back 2.days later food was awful

Great pub to walk to from whitby alongside the railway line, nicely kept beers and had Egg mayo and hot meat sub 😋 Delicious.

Stopped for a pint and some chips on a walk from Whitby, great service and the food & beer were lovely. Sat in the pub garden and was fortunate enough to see the train go past, it's really close!

Great value for money. Food was hot and we didn't have to wait too long to be served. Food was available all day with a variety of light bites and pub classics.

Obviously a pub frequented by locals but we were made very welcome. Huge portions of food.

Excellent friendly pub with good outside area great friendly staff and really good food

Great local pub with great food and good beer, staff were brilliant.breakfast was lovely.A big thank you to everyone who works there definitely visit again in the future

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!!

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

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

Food superb lovely friendly staff, dog friendly x

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.

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.
