The Brown Cow in Scarborough

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

Friendly hosts Fresh and varied menu.Dogs welcome.

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!

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!!

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.

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

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

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.

Typical modern country pub, pretty standard drinks offering.

Feel it could be made a much more attractive place with a little TLC. Enjoyed our time there but needs more attention to detail

Great service, locals were very welcoming

We visited here yesterday there was limited food but we understand becuase of covid19. So we just had a drink staff where nice a friendly and a nice drink. Thanks

Loved this wonderfully cosy pub with crackling fire, great landlord, so friendly and chatty, with humungus puppy, a Great Dane, SOooo lovely and cuddly! Fab locals all friendly and welcoming. Menu is superb too!!

Two real ales and drinks at a very fair priceWarm, cosy and friendly village pub which offers its own loyalty cardExcellent food and plenty of it (beware, the gammon steak is HUGE!), meat is excellent and sourced from the local butcher opposite. Lunchtime food is served until 2.00 pm.Darts, TV and open fireOutside seatingSmall parking area at rear but not easy access, easy access is at the front

Food was good, landlord was great, blazing open fire and good beer. Decor bit dated.

Spent the week in a cottage in Hinderwell and ended up for a few beers and/or meal most afternoons or evenings. Great hospitality, very reasonable bar prices, great food made from quality locally sourced ingredients. Pub is dog friendly which is an added bonus for we dog owners - dogs and their owners made to feel very welcome with free dog treats on the bar. Family run local business - highly recommend.

Visited here with my husband enjoyed a couple of drinks staff were very friendly and welcoming. Will defiantly be visiting again next time we are in the area.

Stayed in Hinderwell for a family weekend to celebrate mum's 80th birthday. Great food both nights, and enjoyed the Sunday night pub quiz too!

Lovely old pub with lovely locally caught produce used in the food.

We called in mid afternoon and were delighted to find a good 'local' pub. Newly refurbished and clean and tidy, Bar staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Oh, the beer and food were very good. Really worth a visit if you're nearby. Watch out for Hector, he's delightful.

We visit Hinderwell twice a year so have been in this pub numerous times. The staff (and locals) are extremely friendly and very welcoming, Expedia ally Gemma. The food is absolutely amazing and is proper home cooked food comfort food. While we are in Hinderwell it’s tradition to visit here and it never disappoints. This won’t change so see you next time 🤩

Decent selection and prices, atmosphere was ok

Great service, always open and friendly regulars as well as walkers.

Highly recommend food and service very good. Good company good beer if in area highly recommend visit.

Cheap enough drinks but very run down.

Not much to look at, very tired interior but I understand they are due to close shortly for a refurb. However they were very happy to accommodate 8 of us for food and drink, sat in the lounge area with plenty of room for a very curious labrador. Only one person working on the bar and taking orders, meaning there was a bit of a queue to order food and get drinks but she did a sterling job of managing this. Nit an overly varied menu but all food cooked fresh and was piping hot when it came out so can't complain.Will look forward to visiting again on our next holiday.

This pub / eatery and accomodation, was an unusual find by accident, made enquiries as to a last minute room for bank holiday weekend on the actual day, and came up trump's. Has one or two rooms of varying degrees of comfort available, the one we were given had its own large ensuite with sink, bath, and over bath shower. Found it comfortable with double bed, and tv. It also had use of a small adequate kitchen. It was away from the road so relatively quiet, although some loud voices could be heard from the bar, but these ceased at a reasonable time giving us a good night's sleep. Breakfast is also available, but not on the b/ hol we were there so no feedback on the breakfast.

Awkward didnt get my sense of humour .

Popped in for an evening drink whilst on holiday in the area. Lovely welcome, excellent beer. Didn't eat, as had alreadt done so, but the meals looked lovely, and were certainly being enjoyed by others.

We called in just after opening for a drink and maybe lunch. The lovely young woman behind the bar made us very welcome. We soon decided to go elsewhere to eat as there were a lot of flies in the bar and the place is desperate for refurbishment. The carpet is unfortunately quite off putting Such a pity as it could be made really nice. Their other problem is the other pub in the village looks more inviting.We wish them luck. Too many village pubs are closing and we really hope this does not become one of them.
