The Duchess Pub in Scarborough

Always a great experience and a good choice of beers for all. Fantastic Sunday lunches. Wish I'd taken a picture of the burger I had, WOW 😜👍

Good friendly pub, great welcoming staff. Proper home cooked food.

Had a Reunion here its a great pub friendly staff and the prices very good Landlord was very welcoming, a BBQ was laid on for us and the food was lovely

We discovered this little gem by accident. We were visiting my mum in Scarborough hospital. The cafe was shut. This place is right next to the hospital car park. We dropped in for a quick drink while we were waiting. The landlord brought round a huge bowl of roast potatoes for every table. Really friendly place. Brilliant staff. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommended for a friendly pint and some great hospitality.

Very small funeral party in other room , no more than 12. Said no food due to funeral. Yet friends table was set in the corner waiting for food. Would not even do a sandwich, had a tea/coffee it tasted disgusting. Not surprised pub was empty if that is the way customers are treated

Good local pub. Friendly atmosphere

Had a great time in the duchess pub the food was excellent and the atmosphere was great too would well recommend it and the prices for food a drinks was excellent too would go back when visiting again

Superb home cooked meals. Great price and good portions too. Lovely beer garden round the back. Will definitely return.

Room was rented by my friends, drinks was good but sadly we couldn't do karaoke. Really wanted that experience for them.

Bar maid couldn’t pull a pint to save her life, must of been about four thumbs worth of head on the pint. (probably because she was too busy eyeing up my fella lmaoo)

Had a great Sunday lunch here today. Lovely food, lots of beautiful veg, hot plates and really friendly staff. We will be back

Came in with 4 kids 2 dogs and 3 adults, couldn’t have asked for better food or service would recommend 💯

Great pub and food. Service too. Recommended for Sunday lunch

Just what your local pub should be - friendly, good food and fine beer.

Friendly service. We had a quick breakfast bap here. Delicious.

A wonderful meal and service in a homely,cosy, real fire heated, nicely old-fashioned pub. Highly recommend to anyone.

Great place for a drink and some good old pub atmosphere

Sunday Roast Lunch - absolutely first class Roast Beef with all the trimmings for a very reasonable price as well. Found the restaurant by pure chance when visiting the local hospital.

First time here for Sunday lunch, definitely won’t be the last.

We often visit here, with friends, family or just the two of us. Martin and the team are friendly and welcoming. Very good value for money. The food is home cooked, delicious and generous in its portions. Well worth a visit’

The Duchess did us proud when we went there after Mums funeral.

Havnt been to the duchess, but I know the owner Martin drake, we were chefs in the Royal Air Force , and this 1 place I'm going to in Scarborough,

Booked this place for a afternoon tea for my birthday, there was 18 of us in total. Food was brilliant and presented well, the landlord was friendly and welcoming and drink prices weren't expensive compared to towns price's. Also came for Sunday dinner as a table of 6 recently and that was fantastic! The gravy and roast potatoes were delicious.

Traditional Sunday lunch, great value, tasty. very friendly staff .

Great pint, Super Landlord and big screen for Sports!

Friendly, there's a new owner that is trying new things, he affable and open to suggestions. From what was said the Sunday lunches are great. I look forward to trying them.

Great place, amazing food and friendly staff. A great experience and such consistency in the quality and value plus a great choice of beers.

Beautiful tasty Sunday dinner. Gravy exceptional. Lovely service, and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend, and will definitely be eating there again.

Warm & welcoming, warm real coal fire, just went for drinks, cosy place.

Fantastic new landlord and team. The best Sunday lunch I have ever had.

Very warm welcome and a great pint.

Thank you very much for the excellent spread you provided. Clean, warm place and friendly staff!

Management were very pleasant.Excellent food. Would definitely go back again for Sunday lunch.

Stopped our sunday night quiz because of football🥺

Sunday dinner at the Duchess with my husband was lovely, will definitely be going again. We both thoroughly enjoyed the roast beef dinner.

Had Sunday lunch for the first time at The Duchess. I can't praise it enough both for the service and the meal itself. Well done 👏 see you soon.

Lovely, friendly atmosphere. Great to bring my teenage lad for a game of pool. They seem to run lots of functions and the food is great!

Lovely local pub with lovely food and friendly staff. Would go again 100%

Absolutely brilliant place!! The staff and locals were super polite and welcoming!!! They serve great food, they have darts, a pool table and an open fire. What more could you ask for. I'll definitely be back when I'm next in Scarborough.

Nice cosy pub and very nice staff.

Landlady very helpful. I was in Scarborough hospital for 3 days . Landlady told my wife and son they could leave car in car park while visiting me . What a kind lady . Thank you

Welcoming even at last orders. Nice pint.

Sunshine goodncompany beer, good happy bardtaff. One led to to two to five so watch it

We had Sunday lunch, which was good value and yummy!! The whole atmosphere was very welcoming and the staff were very friendly, give it a go!

Very friendly staff and happy to help.

Love the pool table, best service

Came here after attending a funeral, food was laid on for those attending the funeral. The buffet was lovely and a good choice of things to eat

A bit tight with the meat portion but an excellent Sunday Dinner. I'll definitely be ordering again if I get a bit more beef. 👍Sunday the 5th of January, bordered at 1645, confirmed at 1725 and still waiting at1825!!🤬🤬

Sunday dinner is lovely homemade food just a shame they stop serving dinner early if served till 6pm we would go more often. Love the huge gravy boat and you can also get a dinner delivered.

Perfect location for meeting up with family following a service at the nearby crematorium. Bar staff were pleasant, the buffet food was very tasty and plenty of parking space around the side of the pub.Not sure we would visit here unless in the local vicinity, but nevertheless pleasant enough.

The worst pub EVER been to - No wonder it was empty (and when I say that I really do mean empty - not one customer) at half 7 on a Saturday evening. Claim to be 'dog friendly' but wouldn't let us in with our dog because they said their dog would attack ours! You'd have thought they would want the business! Our local pub takes their dog behind the bar when another dog comes in - Even though it is a friendly dog! Anyway we decided to get drinks and have outside. Sat on one of the two picnic benches and my partner and I both sh!t ourselves thinking it was gonna collapse, so we went to sit on the other. It was even worse!

Lovely sunday dinners eat in or delivered we love them

Very good funeral food, re colin gill (Deceased) The wake went well

Booked to have a small Birthday Party at the Duchess. It was a pleasure dealing with the staff and they produced a fantastic buffet - absolutely delicious - cannot fault it at all. They had decorated the room for me and we had music/dancing and karaoke available. The homemade quiches and scones etc were great. This is a perfect venue for your celebrations - not far from town and ample parking available. The pub does a lovely Sunday lunch and they are starting to do a Fish and Chip menu, and they offer a delivery service. Thank you Tracy, Debbie, Laura and Pete for a great evening.

First class service and excellent food

Traveled all over the world, when in Scarborough this is "home away from home". Tucked safely in nice local community with enviable location The Duchess Pub welcomes both the friendly locals and also foreign tourists (like me!). Entire staff is efficient, friendly and have done a great job of epitomizing what a local British pub is all about! They always greet you and it is easy to get to know the loyal customers who also chat and laugh. Nice place to be with free wifi . Food and drinks are exceptional with choice of tasty beers on tap, drink specials, flavored vodka cocktails, etc. at reasonable prices. Great for washing down their delicious homemade dishes (including Sunday Roast with choice of meats and size; small, medium and large). Music is fantastic, activities to participate in depending on the day and overall, a great place to be regardless of time of day. Attracts a nice crowd of people with dining choices - indoors, private room and pub area with billiard table, window seating and outdoor seating. Nearby trails with park benches are also enticing for walking then coming back for another ice cold beverage. This is truly UK hospitality at its best and can also be booked for private events. Highly recommend for families too! Warm and inviting...

In the words of Garth Algar pffft! This cokes gone bad. I asked for a pint of coca cola and i got what i thought was the left over from the Chernobyl disaster and i got charged a premium rate for it nearly had to take out a second mortgage. Next time i will just go to Alex armani's flat and drink his half coke half piss in a bottle as that will probably taste better

Fantastic buffet for my uncle s funeral. Also the ladies were very helpful..

Check your change especially if you are at a wake.

Had a fantastic evening celebrating my son's birthday. The food was amazing and Tracy went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with everything. In fact all the staff were fantastic and Stacey made everyone feel very welcome. Thank you Duchess for a fab evening.

Not that impressed. There are parking charges in the car park. Limited beer choices. There are improvements to the property going on so hopefully that should bode better for the future

Fun evening, great staff, food x

Harbour views, good value We enjoyed a drink and a snack here after walking from the Spa. We love Scarborough and go ever year for at least a day and ofter a week.

Cheap well cooked food here. I will go again.

Called in with some friends after hearing it had been recently taken over. We live close by but had stopped using the Dutchess due to previous ownership. So looking forward to getting our local back. The place is clean and tidy so no complaints there. Found a seat with ease, so far so good. The issues started when we went to the bar and ordered 2 pints of lager. £7.20 said the slightly sour faced bar staff. Well at £3.60 a pint we thought hmm ok not bad priced either. Ignoring the miserable staff everything else was looking great. We started making plans to return. THEN it all went a little odd. Turns out this is a local pub for local people. And even though we live in the area we obviously don't fit in to that category. I went up to the bar for some more drinks and 2 guys were getting served in front of me. 2 pints of lager they said £6 the now smiling bar staff said. Hang on a minute it just be happy hour!! So I order 2 more pints waiting for my happy hour discount. £7.20 the again miserable bar staff said. A little confused I asked why the 2 gents next to me had gotten theirs cheaper. Oh they're regulars was the reply. They spend a lot of money in here. Well I shall not repeat what I said to my friends as we picked up our belongings and left but we shall not be returning. The Dutchess could be a lovely, family, welcoming place but unfortunately I will never find out. I have never heard anything so absurd.

A tatty,dismal pub with no atmosphere,mediocre pub grub.I have visit on a number of occasions because of buisness.The staff show little interest which leads me to believe they do not enjoy their work.Overall a sad Pub.

Buffet fresh and tasty and pienty. Service was rapid also.well done Pète and staff.xxx

Brilliant food, Friendly staff and great atmosphere!!

Friendly helpful staff good venue for meetings

The worst Sunday lunch I've ever had,wudnt even give it to the dog,plus their say Sunday carvery,actually their don't do one,yet it's still advertised there do

Really friendly and professional they really helped my gran after her brothers funeral just all really good

I would just like to say thank you to all the staff who were very friendly and helpful for a family function. It was planned at short notice and they were very accommodating. From reading other reviews and conversations with the staff, we will be back for Sunday lunch soon. Can’t wait to try those legendary Yorkshire puddings. Thanks again.

Staff great and welcoming, nice and clean public with a great sized beer garden to the rear, bus service on the door step so u can leave ur car at hone and let ur hair down, off the town centre but its a must visit pub if u enjoy countryside walks;

Value for money Sunday lunch, fresh vegetables, good service , wonderful staff. Many thanks.

Excellent. The Duchess Pub Scarborough serves great beer, awesome sunday lunch, live entertainment and welcoming bar staff.

Right meal, good service, friendly staff, nice atmosphere

Just had Sunday lunch at The Duchess. Food was fabulous a proper Sunday lunch. Loads of choice of meats and vegetables and all homecooked. Staff very pleasant. Will definitely visit again xxx

lovely food, good choice of meats, friendly staff, brilliant for the price will definitely be bringing my friends again

Great place very good customer sevice very warm n welcoming pub cant go wrong here new owners are great well done

Cosy pub we were there for a family function friendly staff

Apparently there's no demand for real ale. So unfortunately we'll not be making it our new local. Shame, nice pub.

This is a place for locals and those needing a place for hospital or crematorium business. Nice surroundings.

Came for the madness tribute act. From arriving we felt welcome. Decent car park. Not much seating inside due to band. Bar staff were ok and prices very reasonable. Landlord very friendly and spoke to most customers. Loos not very modern but they've done their best in the time they've had since taking over. Great atmosphere on the night. Regulars were friendly even though this was our first visit. Will come back.

Great pub great gin menu and very good prices well worth a visit.

Quiet pub north side of Scarborough, dont seem to have a lot of people in but they are good at organising functions i.e christening, parties ect

The owners here are lovely helpful people.

Really good, really chilled out atmosphere

New owner is doing a good job of bringing this pub back to what it was. Lunches are lovely. Fun nights are good too.

Popped in on a sunday and had a great sunday lunch. Choice of 3 meats and plenty of veg and certainly well worth the money. Def will be back another visit for another sunday lunch.
