The Brown Cow in Scarborough

Fabulous village pub , Mark the owner is lovely and very welcoming as are the regulars

Fabulous home cooked food pub grub, very dog friendly and very friendly pub landlord who really went out of his way to make our visit a great experience.

Staying at a local campsite and popped in for a pint with the hope that food was still being served - late on a Sunday night! Landlord was great! Very friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble, even cooking our onion rings from freshly batter using beer he had just pulled and making a peppercorn sauce from scratch - it wasn't on the menu but he was more than happy to add that to our order. All the more impressive when he was the only member of staff in the pub! Guinness was good and we both had Steak and Chips. Good steak, cooked very well and to our liking, home made chips too, to go with the aforementioned beer battered onion rings! Pool table in the side bar too.

What can I say, a fantastic little pub in Hinderwell. The landlord Mark is very friendly and we visited twice for an evening meal while holidaying nearby. The food was lovely, the atmosphere was great and we chatted to people from other parts of the UK. Good food, nice prices, and entertaining conversation. Well worth a stop there, and we will definitely be going back next time we are in the area.

Cosy pub with a friendly and welcoming owner. Bundle of laughs, lighthearted atmosphere and superb, home-cooked food. Limited menu, but so worth it.❤️❤️❤️ A must to visit and stop to enjoy Yorkshire at its very best!

Great pub with a great landlord, lovely welcoming atmosphere a proper pub!! Reasonable prices and a plentiful selection.

A lovely traditional pub with a really friendly atmosphere. Great landlord who was very welcoming. Great selection of drinks. All around Great little pub

We visited this pub on Monday, at 4.30, told no food until 6. Not a problem as happy to have a few drinks first. At 6.15 th barman walked out as no one had turned up to replace him. No food! Called at chip shop across the road and ate fish and chips in the pub with a pint. A very strange way to run a business.

Nice local pub. No frills, no nonsense - the beer was good .

The Brown Cow in Hinderwell is a traditional pub with a warm welcome. Mark, the landlord, was very warm and friendly. The pub was quite on a Monday night. I would suggest visiting. Dogs are very welcome.

Mark was really welcoming, he was in his own but still cooked myself and my husband a lovely meal, had a few beers, which were really good, a chat and a laugh. Highly recommend 👍🏼

What a lovely pub! Friendly owners, fantastic food, welcomed in by the locals.

Visited here last month late evening, I had just missed the place up the road as they had stopped serving. The service here was absolutely fantastic, nothing was a bother. The bloke fired the ovens back up to make this for me. I really enjoyed it. I stayed for a few drinks and had a chilled evening. Thanks again from me and my cocker spaniel Oscar. Top service.

Excellent cuisine and family management, very friendly. Thank you.

Very friendly, lovely beer, huge 15 stone Great Dane called Hector!

Great pub for some good Pints of bitter.

A lovely pub normally but the web page says it opens at 1400 today and it's now 1445 and there's no sign of life. Sad I've wasted a journey because of inaccurate information!!

Friendly hosts Fresh and varied menu.Dogs welcome.

I went there because i was at the Barnstormer rallyy just up the road from the pub Excellent service staff really friendly and not too badly priced for there drinks would well recommend this place and can't wait till next years rally to go back again

Went for a couple of drinks on a Friday night. Not many people in which is a shame when it's a village pub and the locals don't support it.

So glad to have found this little gem . After a long day walking and getting to camp late went over for food to find kitchen closed. Mark the landlord did us a meal anyway and it was fabulous. He is such a great welcoming guy we had a nice few pints and a good laugh. Can not recommend this place enough.

A proper pub. Great food, great atmosphere, excellent host. Will be back soon 👍

Great hosts lovely atmosphere. 2 beautiful great Danes Hector & Remie Meals well cooked and ample portions.

A very friendly, traditional pub , Dog friendly. Will visit again

Called in on a wet Wednesday night having walked up the cliff path from Staithes. We were a bit muddy and had a wet dog but the landlord was really friendly, he even brought the dog a bone. Lovely fruity cider on draft, my friend had a beer, said it was the best pint he’d had for ages. We had a lovely chat with one of the friendly locals, We had breaded Brie wedges with toasted caramelised onion flatbread, salad and chilli jam, followed by chicken fajitas and my friend had scampi. The food was beautifully cooked, and really tasty. I hadn’t eaten in this pub for a few years, What a really lovely night, we will definitely be back very soon, thank you x

A*REALLY* clean pub. Landlord was super friendly and a good laugh. Whilst the menu wasn't extensive, we are delighted to report we had four clean plates after dining.

Proper food great price Friendly pub Very much part of the community

Great old school pub - just not open enough - only got in on the 3rd attempt - needs to give more info on the outside about what's going on so everyone can support it - we need to stop pubs from shutting

Great to have the room and time to play pool and darts. Good beer. Great landlord

Lovely friendly staff. The owner went out of his way to cook something Gluten free for us. Really friendly spot. Well cooked food. We enjoyed it. Cheers.

Good homemade food with a warm welcome & family friendly

Walked in whilst camping locally. Found the pub very welcoming and enjoyed the lovely rogan josh.

We loved this little find - lovely pub with tasty homemade food. Landlords and their team are welcoming and friendly. Great choice of beers x definitely worth a visit

Great proper pub run by a nice couple . The pub did not do food when we were there due to staffing issues but the landlord said that if we wished we could order in from a take away and he would provide plates and cutlery.

Great village pub, all staff welcoming. Good laugh and good beer.

i would like to thank you for you hospitality catering for 30 bikers and i hope to see you again next year we all enjoyed our selves thank again

A life saver. Open on a Monday - an oasis in a sea of closed and closing at 3pm establishments. Nice pint, friendly locals.

The brown cow was the highlight of our trip, Mark and his wife (+hector) made our evenings after a less than ideal experience in the ‘other’ pub in the village, would recommended to anyone, love from a group of 20 year olds from leeds university book club. Also mark had a cool tshirt, big ups def leppard xoxoxox

Brilliant beers. Friendly people. A traditional hostelry serving decent beer.

The brown cow is one of my favourite pubs locally the bar staff are friendly and would help anyone who needs help. The owners Mark and Gemma and so welcoming and put a lot of work into making every experience enjoyable I have never felt so relaxed on a night out

Folk night generally first Sat of the month, 7.00 PM till 10.00

Great traditional English pub with friendly staff and BIG friendly dog. No food but as stated a traditional English pub. Plenty of keg beers.

Great friendly staff nice pint aswell and don't forget to say hi to the lovely great Dane

Me and my missus loved this pub. We are still laughing about a conversation we overheard when one bloke said “Who do you think will come in later, do you think Fat Arms will be here?*. We hadn’t had a pleasant experience in the other pub in the village, and talking to other people in the Brown Cow it seemed clear that neither had they. This is an old school, friendly boozer with a couple of very nice real ales on the bar and a roaring open fire. We both had a very nice time in here and will definitely recommend and return anytime we’re in the area. Tip. They don’t do food but they will allow you to order a takeaway into the pub and provide you with plates if you’re having a drink. I wonder if Fat Arms ever did go in that night?

Spent a good few hours in here last weekend. Great prices, very friendly with locals and people from the campsite. Lovely beers and very clean and dog friendly. We will be back

Sign says food - owner says they don’t do food?

Cant comment on the food as there was none available due to having no chef. But as for friendliness and service it was great for drinks.

Comfortable and reasonably priced . Nice local

Fabulous little pub. Great choice of drinks, will definitely be back.

Very beautiful place service was quick and warming would go back time and time again

So unfriendly. We went in thinking they served food, but alas no.

Unfortunately popped in for something to eat. Food is no longer served at the Brown Cow. Very quiet,a few locals playing darts on a Wednesday night. A friendly welcome from the bar staff. Had visited many times in the past,disappointed

Old fashioned pub , made very welcome, cheap drinks. 😎👍🐾🐾dog friendly.

Lovely friendly pub with open fire landlord mark couldn’t do enough for us top bloke definitely be back again

This is the best place in the area for a pint. I visited this pub while on a long solo walk adventure and I liked it a lot. Both the host and clients engage in conversations letting you feel welcome. A human friendly place. Beers are ok, you won’t fin many of them in London, so even a better reason to explore.

Been in now a few times here in hinderwell. A Fabulous old pub. Landlord Mark is a real charming character. And his awesome friendly Great Dane Hector who will always welcome you.The locals are a great bunch of folk. Food is great! Beers are fabulous.

Absolutely fabulous pub with a great pub and a nice owner. Couldn’t ask for more! I will defiantly come again.

Warm welcome, dog friendly pub with great food at a reasonable price. What’s not to like? Check it out!!

Great local pub. Friendly owner and delicious food. Hector the pub dog is a nice chap too!

Lovely traditional pub, food available and nice choice of ales and spirits

Only one ale on,this was on it's way out,not fresh at all.Three of the meals we chose off the board not available,settled for the chilli con carne a tad expensive for what it was,may have dropped on a bad day

The landlord was a gentleman. Despite not providing food on our first visit he could see we were hungry and gave us some Limited options as a favour. Lovely food tbh, we didn't expect it to be. We stayed all evening and sampled his wide range of sambucca and sour shots.

Went to this lovely, friendly, cosy village pub for the first time during our holiday to Port Mulgrave and we really enjoyed it. Staff and locals are so welcoming and it's a truly dog friendly place too, I'd recommend this pub to anyone who likes traditional pubs with a welcoming friendly atmosphere, whoever you are and wherever you're visiting from. It's on the main road to/from Whitby in a lovely village.

Visited while on holiday, very friendly staff and customers, lovely drink lots of choice

Homey, but closed 50% of the time. The food I have had was good

I'm sure its ok for the locals, but this is one of the most unwelcoming pubs I've been to. Went in when it was very quiet with a group of 8 people. The bartender was an older guy, so we were patient with him while he was slow, but he acted like our presence in his pub was offensive. Would never go back

We ate here when in Hinderwell. Me a d my Wife both had Steak, it was really nice and the chips were too. Located really well too, just a short walk from where we was staying. Very friendly too which was a bonus

Nice pint and friendly staff. Don't let the decor put you off

Great pub food was excellent staff excellent too loved the place

Great Welcome, very accommodating, lovely food and great staff. Definitely recommend!

Came for a few days away, hope to return soon, Me and my husband had a lovely time here, the staff were very pleasant, the homemade lasagna was lovely, and to finish of the meal I had lemon cheesecake was delicious especially with a great real ale to wash it down, thank you for a wonderful evening.

The staff were walm and welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us. There was a lovely family atmosphere beaming throughout. The food was lovely, my husband ordered the pulled pork bun and really enjoyed it, I myself ordered quiche and was highly satisfied, very nice, and to finish our meal ordered a mint chocolate cheesecake which was devine, and washed down with a lovely pink grapefruit gin, very happy with our experience and can’t wait to be back!!

The staff were pleasant but their appearance wasnt a good advert. My steak and salad was actually quite good tho.

Extremely friendly welcome. A great place to relax after a busy day exploring the area. Well kept draught ale. Tasty pub grub.

Really friendly traditional village pub.

Great place lovely people super food

Lovely welcoming village pub. Couldn't do enough to make visit great despite initially rushed off feet. Beers welk kept.

Such a nice little pub. Great food and really nice staff, friendly old Great Dane patrolling the place too 😊 would absolutely recommend to anyone staying in the area!

Good pub grub and great friendly service

Great staff and a lovely atmosphere

Amazeballs and very friendly staff

Excellent atmosphere great service friendly staff and as an added bonus we watched the England game what more could you ask for

Lovely, friendly staff and customers and a real character of a dog called Hector. If you like dogs sit in the bay window seating area 😊

Friendly, nice beer, menu limited but OK.

Out of the two nights I was in Hinderwell, they were spent at the Brown Cow! Great place, definitely recommend if you're looking for a traditional pub, very welcoming and great atmosphere :)

Brilliant little pub...staff Spot on..

Having had a disappointing experience with the other pub in Hinderwell, we popped in here for a drink and to see what food they were doing. The lady serving apologised and explained why they weren't doing food, but we stayed and had a couple of drinks and returned later in the week to sample the excellent beers and ciders they had on. We wish them all the best in the future with the pub.

The staff were lovely. As they are not doing food yet they helped us sort takeaway, even offering to let us eat there. Very pleasant visit, highly recommend this place.

Great friendly village pub with well kept ale. Just the thing after a long walk.

Traditional pub, friendly staff and cheap prices. They do normally sell food but not at the time of our visit as wet sales only due to covid/just reopening however the menu does look good

No food when we went, but a lovely welcoming experience. Hector the Great Dane was the star of the show...he is adorable! Thanks for a lovely evening and best of luck for the coming summer.

Brilliant! Amazing staff, great atmosphere

Very friendly and welcoming pub, they prepared a delicious takeaway dinner for us. We can't wait to go back one day and enjoy their hospitality properly by eating in the pub.

Friendly local pub with an excellent choice of beers. Cosy with a real fire and a resident dog called Hector! Revived us after a walk.

Great service Nice meal, very warrm & pleasant greeting

Great traditional pub, very good beer, friendly staff and charming locals!

Amazing staff, lovely food. Good selection of gin

Nipped in for a couple of pints with the family before fish and chips opposite. Not as plush as the pub along the road but this is my type of pub. Friendly, welcoming, well priced. Locals and staff are great- welcoming, chatty and friendly. Would recommend if staying on the campsite.

Have been here several times before, always welcoming, not eaten yet but I know what ever we have will be lovely.

Nice beer and friendly staff but dogs not allowed inside pub.
