The Buccaneer in Scarborough - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Regular sized Sunday carvery hit the spot. And they even had mush peas 🫛. Very handy

Fabulous food. Generous portions. Friendly place, dogs welcome.

Had live music on they were really good and the drinks were not to expensive

Best in Filey for a Sunday carvery ❤

Went to filey for the day called at this place for Sunday dinner with my elderly mother. From the door opening the staff couldn't do enough to help us. Excellent staff would highly recommend. Mum was in a wheel chair and this was no problem what so ever. Even have a stair lift

Poor overpriced food £25 for a steak and unbelievably rude waitress that constantly snapped and rolled her eyes at everyone at our table would never go again.

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 helpful. 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 great. People in charge (assuming older bar lady and larger younger man) were unapologetic and offered poor service. Much better places around to go.

Good night had on Saturday night, late bar and great band.

Got recommended and wow Absolutely beautiful food great service 100% work given from the little blond women even provided our daughter with the right cutlery would definitely recommend to others also will be visiting more often when in filey thank u to all staff

The food portions were so worth it for the money and the food was high quality and tasty. The staff were thoughtful and friendly. The restaurant was clean and so were the bathrooms it was a great experience overall I will definitely be coming back

We visited Filey during our family holiday staying close by , we were looking for somewhere to eat that wasn't just fish and chips on a sunny Saturday as a family of 4. We went into a pub which we found didn't serve food only to be kindly pointed in the the direction of the Buccaneer and thought this was a fantastic example of local businesses supporting each other. We found the place to be Fantastic as soon as we walked in with th pirate / nautical themed. We went up the stairs to be greeted by a large place with great decor from pirate statues to photos and information about fishing equipment and fish tanks etc , it was great. The bar seemed really well stocked with lots of.oprions and there was plenty of seating , a few pool tables and a few TVs dotted around showing difference things to suit , music playing and lots of different examples of fishing gear on display . Really quirky and interesting place we loved it. Toilets easily found and seemed clean and tidy. Welcoming greeting from staff as we walked in . We found a table and sat down , looked at the menu and we're impressed there were wlors of options available to suit us as having two children and two vegetarians in our group. We ordered food and drinks at the bar and was told our bill would be bought to the table . We were given placemats with our cutlery and napkins etc which I thought was a lovely little touch. When our food came after a short wait we were very impressed with the generous portion sizes and the food was delicious. Lots of options on the menu for whatever you're in the mood for. / Dietary requirements. We felt like it was fantastic value for money and we were all stuffed after we had eaten. Staff were kind and friendly. Great service and experienc. The other customers all seemed like good people and the locals seemed friendly too. We didn't feel rushed or pressured to leave etc . A great dining experience/visit. A hidden gem.. we felt like it would be a fab place to visit in an evening too / have a night out as the vibe of the place was just great.

Very nice place we called late on a Wednesday night but they fitted us in just before they closed. The staff were very good and the food was great, thanks very much for a warm welcome.

Friendly & Efficient service. Great hospitality

Absolutely nothing negative to say about this place at all. Actually went to Filey to go to the Chinese all you can eat but it was Fully booked so went here instead and we are so glad we did. All four of us had steaks each one cooked to different tastes and each one perfectly cooked. The lady who served us could teach a few people a thing or two about customer service she went above and beyond and was the icing on the cake to our visit. We will definitely be back.

First time we went here for the steak night and wasn't disappointed. The Rump steak was perfectly cooked .Will defo be paying another visit .The Service was good too .

Went for the first time for a carvery, since now we can take our dog in, was seated quickly even though it was busy, food was served swiftly, very tasty, will definitely return

The staff were super helpful and friendly !! The Sunday lunch was great and would definitely recommend

Lovely food, generous servings. Nice atmosphere too.

Absolutely beautiful rump steak.. very nice staff and manager

Friendly & welcoming staff. Very well organised. Great selection of home made sunday carvery food as well as beautiful desserts.

Very nice pub,and friendly staff good Beer too

Great service Great food Reasonablely priced Great atmosphere Highly recommended

Visited Filey for a weekend break stumbled across this place advertising a Sunday carvery, popped in and was surprised to be seated straight away! The server attended the table gave us instructions to purchase drinks at the bar and the room next door to purchase a carvery ticket (which you hand over when being served at the carvery) the meal was delicious the food was hot and fresh the waitress was lovely, however we were chased out the door but a women (manager) who claimed we hadn’t paid! This was very embarrassing in front of a full restaurant of people when u clearly have to pay before you eat or drink!! We were asked to return into the restaurant in front of everyone and were escorted back to our table! Where it was then confirmed that actually we had paid!! I can’t help thinking it may be down to the fact we were the only black people in the place and possibly weren’t welcome back!! But not to worry we definitely won’t be returning! Even though the food was delicious.

small quaint little pub good food good staff no quarms at all

Went for a few drinks loved it staff was amazing

Nice lager and Guinness with friendly service.

Fantastic food as always made to feel welcome by all staff our only complaint was the small piece of meat on o.a.p plate for money we expected a bit more used to get a decent portion it may put people off coming

Came for Sunday carvery for our daughters birthday. I have to say it was probably the best carvery I have had. Yorkshire puddings were homemade 😋 and the veg was all fresh and a good variety. The meat was lovely too. Had a coffee at the end of the meal and the homemade shortbread was delicious. Will definitely come back.

Fantastic carvery! Really good quality and plenty of it! Would highly recommend 👍 also friendly staff and great drinks selection 🍻

A unique setting in what must have once been an old cinema or small theatre. You walk upstairs, pass through a bar that seems as if last updated in cinema times, through to the restaurant area. Very much a Pirates of the Caribbean themed space. The menu had a great choice, including kids and smaller sized options. We both had the fish and chips which were the best we have had in many years, good sized portions as well, for £13.95 each, super value. We shared a home made Bakewell Tart that was delicious. The service was just right, well timed and friendly. We will be returning in the near future.

We come across this place on a rainy Monday night when most places were shut, however it proved to be a stroke of luck on our behalf,my wife had the lamb shank she said it was beautiful and I had the fish pie it was crammed with seafood and tasted delicious,a very friendly place recommended.

Brilliant place, fantastic food and service second to none

The staff are very friendly and helpful, love it!

Searching for somewhere to have a proper Sunday lunch and we came across The buccaneer. What a really pleasant surprise. It was a carvery Sunday lunch with a good choice of meats and vegetables. We both had a sumptuous and hearty meal. Very good value for money, great tasting and very friendly staff. We will definitely be going again when we are next in Filey...I would highly recommend

Best Sunday dinner I've tasted in years we'll since the last time I was there? Roast potatoes just like my mum used to make, (big compliment) Will be back.

Friendly. We were early doors so place was quiet. Like the sea faring atmosphere. We were too early for food

I was disappointed with the way we were treated we hadn’t planned on coming here but it was cold. It was my son’s 18th birthday so we wanted to celebrate it with him, we were only going to have one drink in here then go to the next pub but we found ourselves forced to order food there were 12 of us some of us wanted food and the others didn’t. We were shown to our seats and told how it all worked. We looked at the menu and the owner came up to us and said those who weren’t eating had to move we declined as we went together and wanted to stay together, so they got there food which they told me wasn’t very nice lumpy mash and chewy meat, while they were eating the owner came up to us again and asked us to move to a bigger table even though he put us on these 2 tables that he joined together so we moved, I don’t understand why he couldn’t leave us alone I would have understood if they were busy but they weren’t. We decided to get some puddings that was a mistake the custard was cold and the apple pie tasted really bad, my son had a cheese cake that was so stiff his folk wouldn’t go through it. We had a little girl with us as this was a family celebration she was struggling to eat her meal and they kept trying to take her plate even though she hadn’t finished they never left us alone and was starting to really get on my nerves. We all finally finished eating and straight away they tried moving us again we were just finishing our drinks and letting the food settle but that wasn’t good enough for the owner he said he needed the table for others to have there meal once again there was no one waiting and still not busy as there were only 5 other tables taken at this point or that would have been fine with it. We decided to just leave I will never go in there again and we are locals we have all lived here all our lives.

Very large pub,strange atmosphere , food OK Reasonable prices.

Wed eve soup and main 2 for £25. Soup was very thick and very peppery. My husband had the 10oz rump steak with chips onion rings and salad. The steak was cooked very nicely. I had the steak pie , which was served in an individual dish with a pre made pie crust. I was disappointed as I expected a portion of traditional double crust pie. The veg was fine and the chips.

Was OK for a group meal - friendly and helpful staff. Stair lift available if your not able to walk up the stairs

Great decor but nothing special food wise

Great food and service can highly recommend the Sunday lunch. I strongly recommend that you book in advance very, very popular with locals and visitors

Must be the most random place I've ever had a meal, really bizarre pirate theme - but great food, service, and value 👍

Called in by chance to see if we could get a Sunday carvery. We were both greeted by friendly staff. I decided to have the small appetite plate which was priced at £7.95. My husband had the regular adult priced at £12.95. However I got mine served on a tea plate. I assumed it would be a normal size with one piece of meat. The variety was really good & food was nice. Just need to change the plate sizes!! The tea plate size for an adult was beyond ridiculous 🙄

They do the most amazing carvery, would definitely recommend, best food ever

Went there on a recommendation and once in we really enjoyed it and staff lovely

Each time we have been here we have never been disappointed. Lovely atmosphere and lovely food . Thanks you .

excellent food for a food price service always very polite

What a great find we found this gem on our recent visit. The food was fabulous the best in Filey huge portions and very tasty a must visit!

Carvery is OK, but you need to book. Tuesday steak night was average. The hunter's chicken was average, chips under cooked. Overpriced for the food I'm afraid.

Absolutely amazing couldn't recommend enough 5*

We ended up at the Buccaneer as a last resort after failing to pre book somewhere for dinner during peak season...rookie mistake! Our son really needed the toilet and we stumbled across the Buccaneer while wandering the streets of Filey. We were a bit dubious, as from the outside it looked a bit like somewhere that peaked in the 90's with some strange pirate paraphernalia and outdated carpets adorning the entrance. As we were getting hungry and our son really had to "go", we decided what the heck, let's try it! So up the stairs we went. The pub itself is nice and clean, and has a classic pub smell when you go in. My initial thoughts were that it resembled an old working men's club from the late 90's early 2000's. Long bench seats wrapped around the majority of the perimeter with dark wooden tables and chairs to eat at. A pool table and corner bar area finished off the look, with more pirate / sea decoration dotted around. We decided it looked alright, and with Thursday night being steak night, we figured we should be fine. I'm so glad we decided to stay, as the food was excellent! My son had a pepperoni pizza which he says was very meaty and nice (looked pretty good to me but he wasn't sharing!) My wife had a vegetable lasagna which she said is one of the best she's had, and I had the gammon. The portion sizes were massive for the price! The gammon was just the right amount of salty, and it was served with a runny yolk egg cooked to perfection. The onion rings were proper onion rings, not the mushy frozen kind often served in restaurants, and the chips were really good. We were all too stuffed for pudding, but the cake display cabinet had been looking at me the whole time, so we went to investigate. Lucky for us, they do takeaway pudding boxes so we had a big slice of the white chocolate and orange cheesecake for the next day. The beer was very well priced for a seaside town (£4 a pint for most beers) and was delicious! The staff are all very friendly and polite, and the menu even has a vegetarian / vegan section! From what I could gather, this was a place the locals go, and I've always found the locals know best! If anyone is looking for some tasty honest food, you can't go wrong with the Buccaneer! Don't let the decor fool you, the food is delicious, beer fresh and cold, staff friendly, portions big, prices great value, we'll definitely go again when we're back in Filey!

It's definitely the best, Carvery in the area. Advised to book in advance.

Friendly staff, helpful. Food really good quality, the burgers were amazing, not fatty and good quality, gammon was cooked perfectly. Large portions. Only exception the children pizza wasn't fantastic. Would definitely visit again though.

Great little pub/restaurant. Would thoroughly recommend

Great carvery Sunday roast. Different size plate sizes for appetites which was good. Food excellent.

Quirky place, went in late on a rainy night. Couple of drinks(reasonably priced) Food area closed so couldn't comment.

Called on the off chance of a table, was booked in 45 mins after my wife called. So a huge thank you. The Carvery is incredibly amazing. The meat is quality, and the choice of vegetables is outstanding. Without a doubt, it was the best Carvery I have ever had. The plate sizes are generous, so easily tempting to over indulge. Faultless 10 / 10 The staff was very welcoming and friendly, the choice of desserts that are homemade is impressive, but the prices are very, very good to what's on offer. Only wish we found this place at the start of our week and not on the last day. The food choice Mon-Sat is all you could ask for, along with the drinks choice, from the bar. Thank you Buccaneer 😊

Came on holiday, looking for a place to eat and found this pub, this place is an hidden gem the food is absolutely amazing and has a friendly atmosphere and brilliant staff highly recommend.

Service was great, the food unfortunately wasn't as good as last year when we went a few of the items seem to have been replaced with cheaper and quicker frozen alternatives, this could be due to demand been so busy but it was ok, the price was slightly high for what it was but meat and yorkshire puddings were bang on

Fabulous steak pie 🥧 and the gammon was lovely, huge onion rings both with home cooked chips 😋

Ate here twice during the week Sunday lunch was excellent and so was the mid week meal.

The buccaneer offers hood sized portion food, and friendly service in its restaurant. The food quality is "ok" , but the prices do not reflect the quality. I feel it's overpriced , for a bulk standard sea side pub grub. The restaurant is dated and doesn't have a clean vibe. Understandably it's themed around pirate and the seaside however it could be updated or cleaner.

Great place for a meal and a pint 👌

Excellent. Always good to see a Chef confident enough to come out and talk to his diners.

Most expensive place I've been in filey n Scarborough 4 50 a pint

This place we had a meal. Bloody great food at a great price 10/10 just go and have a meal. You wont regret it

Could not recommend the carvery roast dinner, every item like warm and very average quality

Great value carvery. The atmosphere was ok unfortunately the staff seemed stressed and therefore were not always the friendliest

Decent "pub grub". We've been a few times over the past 5 years and it's been consistently good food. Would definitely recommend if you stay in Filey.

Went for a traditional carvery good selection of meats and a choice of 18 yes 18 vegetables 😄

Came to Blue Dolphin for a weekend, walked around the coast into town. Found this place on Google maps and what a treat it was. Food was incredible. Service was amazing. No faults from our family. If you're heading this way definitely visit this little hidden gem! It's up a flight of stairs, didn't bother me but mentioning it so people are aware 😊

Fabulous place for a meal... Very friendly staff

Wow. Phoenix nights all over again. Had a right laugh here

Absolutely beautiful Bar and restaurant and an amazing host. They could not do more to help us and our family. The exhibits on the wall are historically accurate and very interesting to read and look at. The prices are very affordable and the service is excellent. Highly recommended for a visit.

Nice warm and comfy room and the best priced beer in Filey Great pool table at only 50p a game

Delicious meal as always. Excellent service.

Popped in for lunch today. Loved it! Best pie (chicken and mushroom) we have both had in ages!. Home made. Hips delicious and extra gravy made for a lovely lunch. Will defiantly visit again when next in Filey

Great Carvery. Would definitely recommend!

Good all-round pub this We went on steak night and again for Sunday Lunch spot on! live entertainment rock bands etc Decent ale too 🍺🍺🍺👍 It's 30th March 23 and we're back in Filey 😃 Just had two lovely steaks in the smugglers cove washed down with some Black Sheep! I'm a happy man 😊

We visited the Smugglrs Cove which is the restaurant in the Buccaneer Filey for Sunday lunch. We went for the Sunday carvery, meat was a choice from Turkey, Pork, beef and ham, all absolutely delicios lots of choice regarding vegetables roast potatoes etc. One of the best Sunday carveries we have ever had and very reasonably priced, I would recommend you try it

Excellent service and loads to choose from on the menu. Food was piping hot and delicious. Great value. Great feel to the place too. Staff are so friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Good food, lager OK, bar staff pleasant enough, a good spot to visit

Real home cooked food. The staff are lovely. Highly recommended

First ones in at afternoon opening. Went for a game of pool. Advertise lots of different cocktails. Has a family area. Yes enjoyed. Would go again.

First visit and the last Sunday 19th February had the carvery meat over cooked and soggy vegetables more expensive than most places but won't be returning

Warm friendly welcoming.. fantastic carvery…

An incredibly friendly place with a real classic British pub feel. Old bandits and frankly bizarre decor which reminded me of childhood holidays, it felt like you should be able to smoke in there, I think that's the only thing missing. Lovely staff, decent food, a good selection of well priced drinks. Can't recommend this place enough.

We had carvery excellent food would go again

Lovely Proper pub 👌👌 Spot on Grub! I was the Minibus Driver for a funeral but I really enjoyed visiting here proper traditional old style pub will Visit here again

Lovely Sunday carvery. Good choice of meat and fresh vegetables.

First time here, staff friendly, carvery was lovely so much to choose from, will definitely be back next time were in filey

Strange place with weird drinks prices, including having to donate part of the cost to charity if paying by card under a fiver.

Always welcoming, staff are efficient in serving, lots of drinks to choose from and a food menu to suit everyone. The food is lovely. Plenty of seating, dance floor in the evening. We've seen some good bands here, they also have music playing but best to check what's on. A great place! Thank you.

Nice clean and tidy pub with very good food.

Meals are very nice and filling. Good selection of drinks Good atmosphere lovely place .

Lovely welcoming place, clean and does good food, very friendly staff, drinks a bit overpriced for the area £4.50 for a pint of Fosters lager £2.00 for a glass of cola.

Service ok food ok but not very hot

A good selection of ales at very reasonable prices the food we had was wholesome and good size portions and very friendly staff made us feel welcome

Amazing food, good portion sizes. Had sons 16th Birthday meal here they were very accomodating.
