The Fox and Hounds in Scarborough

We came across this hidden gem as Whitby restaurants were so busy with all the gothic crowds. Walked into a warm welcome. The pub is small and beautiful. We played a board game for the short wait for food. Our table of 4 had Chilli Con Carne, Tuna Mayo sandwich, bacon and halloumi wrap and chicken tenders. The food was delicious and so reasonably priced! Good choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Freshly cooked food, fabulous customer service and beautiful views. We will be back. Thank you for such a pleasant visit.

A lovely country pub with a gorgeous view. Food was excellent and we especially loved the chips! Like chip shop chips! Salad was yummy too. We all enjoyed our food and we thoroughly recommend his pub!

Quiet country pub on the Cleveland Way between Runswick and Sandsends serving good food and beer. We had the trio of fish and the vegetable lasagne with Timothy Taylor ale and Pinot grigio. Pleasant grassy enclosed beer garden outside with nice views towards Whitby. Well worth a visit.

Lovely spot. Beautiful views. Great staff and very good food. Streak a d Ale pie wonderful. Very dog friendly.

An amazing lunch. Everything is home made and tasted fabulous. The staff went out of their way to help our fussy daughter! The view is stunning and the dog loved it too. We will be back.

Excellent lunch, can highly recommend their Seafood Trio, also the spicey bean burger was very good. It has great views across the fields to the sea. A pub with character and good beer, reasonably priced too.

A great find off the beaten track - huge and tasty portions and a relaxing place to sit in the sun! Glad we followed the sign

Cracking country pub a bit off the main roads but well worth the detour. Really well kept Taylor’s boltmaker. Great straight forward bar food. Seafood trio was excellent. Very friendly and helpful welcome. Lovely outdoor area. A dog friendly pub.

A lovely village pub with outstanding views of Whitby. Great beer, great food and a warm welcome from Richard and Angela

Very friendly and welcoming. Food great, lovely setting. A real locals pub which benefits from fabulous views and easy parking. We have been a number of times and highly recommend.

Excellent pub. Good honest food and made to feel very welcome. Worth coming off the main road to sit in the garden and enjoy lunch.

Lovely pub and garden. Not that far from the main road and well worth the detour. Friendly welcome with good selection of food at sensible prices.

Fabulous meal. Dog and children made very welcome. Sits right in the middle of some great circular walks with the Cleveland way nearby and various very accessible bridleways.

5 of us with 3 dogs had a great winter's evening here. Walked up the hill in the dark from Kettleness. Lovely pub, yummy food, good beer and cider (Thatchers cider, not the usual rubbish ciders most pubs unfortunately sell), friendly landord. What more can one ask for? An excellent eveing was had by all.

A lovely , dog friendly pub with great food and a warm and friendly atmosphere. We called here on our way back from Staithes after it was recommended to us . I had fish and chips and it was absolutely lovely . My husband had Ham, eggs and chips and that was delicious too . Definitely worth a trip .

Loved this pub and it’s beautiful setting! On a recent trip to Robin Hoods Bay, we drove for ages after a day at Runswick Bay trying to find a pub that had an available table (and also accepted dogs), we stumbled upon this gorgeous, country pub completely by chance and we were so glad we did! What a find!! Such a glorious setting with the most gorgeous views, we were very lucky in experiencing some wonderful mid September sunshine whilst we were visiting these parts and absolutely made the most of it by sitting outside in the garden and admiring the stunning countryside views- From the car park opposite there is also a gorgeous sea view. The staff here couldn’t have been any friendlier or more welcoming. We got the impression the pub is being run by a husband and wife team? Seemed a nice dynamic. We enjoyed it so much here, we returned the following day and the staff remembered us. The food was delicious on both occasions- LOVED the Farmers Platter! Will definitely make a point of returning here when we are back in the area and would 100% recommend.

This pub, it’s surroundings, it’s gorgeous food and lovely hosts are all superb! I wouldn’t want anyone reading about a lack of ham or the height of the hedges to be put off!! We went in June, I had a seafood platter to die for, the birds in the hedges sang and the sun shone. Perfection, we’ll be back soon.

Amazed we haven't been here before, when we saw the sign on the way back from staithes we thought it will probably be closed down. Thankfully it wasn't, what a lovely pub in a quite village worth stunning sea views.i think it was the landlord who greeted and served us, very polite and helpful. Food and drinks were spot on. Highly recommend.

Great find, service fantastic, staff welcoming. Sat in outdoor area looking over to whitby lovely. Reasonable priced food, good choice.

A traditional menu pies, fish and chips, scampi, sandwiches. Beautiful quiet spacious garden but hedges are too high to enjoy what could be a really wonderful sea view while eating. Very dog friendly and a warm welcome from the host who was doing the serving. Easy parking. Do support this place.

Just lovely ❤, we have a caravan in Hawsker and love to come here on a nice afternoon , great drinks , fab food , very nice couple that own this , a hidden gem , away from the bustle of Whitby ....Perfect

Arrived for our 2 night stay to be shown our lovely double room with en-suite, tray set with great selection of teas, coffees, hot chocolate, bottles of water and biscuits. Amazing view over the Yorkshire Moor from our bedroom window. Had a fantastic meal on the second evening and each breakfast morning was served quickly and professionally. In fact the best b&b we have stayed in the UK . Being our 35th wedding anniversary so glad it was at The Fox and Hounds can’t wait to return as the owners and everyone that worked there made us feel very welcome.

My partner and I had a delicious lunch yesterday. Mushroom and spinach lasagne was lush, lemon drizzle cake was better than mine, according to hubby! Ruby ale was top class. Lovely atmosphere, friendly helpful efficient staff, a real hidden gem of a pub! Thanks for making a grand day out perfect!

Called on the off chance while in the area. Had ploughmans. Beautiful. Area stunning. Could have stayed all day

Dropped off the main road to Whitby to follow F&H sign to country pub, greeted by very friendly lady and were invited in by the landlord Richard. Given a menu all lovely home cooked items but half of it was not available but only told when we went to order. I only wanted Ham Egg and Chips but ham was off then told that Steak and Kidney pie was off so finished our drinks and left. If we had been advised before we went to order we would have picked from what was available or decided to move on, in these tough times for pubs I would not want to loose around a £30 pound bill and no ham really!

Lovely pub off the beat-on track , nice tables outside and we were lucky enough to enjoy the sunshine too...Gorgeous food , proper home cooked chips... good choice on the food and drinks menu...Can’t wait to visit again soon P.s The Carrot and Walnut cake went down a treat

Well worth a short detour on our way back to the campsite. Just had drinks but all the staff were friendly and the service was good. Sat outside in a lovely sunny spot. Dog friendly too.

Wife and I ate lunch here May 2021, we ordered the Farmer;s platter with a portion of chips, which we planned to share between the two of us. Thank goodness we decided to share, I don't think I could have finished the platter, although I would have tried as it was delicious. Not sure if the pork pie was homemade but was gorgeous. There were three cheeses of which the Stilton was particularly lovely. All washed down with a pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord.The Covid precautions in place were well thought out and were followed properly. The track and trace system was in place, using a QR code made things very simple.The staff were very polite and attentive (but not in an overbearing manner) and nothing was too much trouble.We tried to going back, but picked the wrong day, they were closed.I would recommend this pub to any and all, it really is a great little place and we would happily keep going back again and again.

Had a fabulous lunch here today during our walk along the Cleveland way with our dog. The food was absolutely delicious, the location is perfect and the hosts lovely and welcoming. Also brilliant value for money. Recommended

We have visited this pub a number of times on a lunchtime and never been disappointed. Food menu is excellent with particular good sea food. Batter is to die for. Beer always well kept. Visited today had lunch in spacious laid out garden Plenty of lovely walks only ten minutes walk from Cleveland Way which follows the magnificent North Yorkshire coast line.

popped in for chips, snack and drinks in the rain - warm, friendly, COVID secure. These places are vital for the UK and for their communities.

This place is as athentic as I can remember country pubs used to be; no frills, no horse brasses everywhere.All very covid compliant with plenty of space inside. Bit of a limited menu currently, perhaps, but I'm sure there's enough variety for most. Excellent quality and portions of good size too. Staff very welcoming. Real ale available.Car parking on opposite side of the road. When approaching from the main road it's better to use the road to the north. Both roads are single track but the southernmost one has a lot of blind bends.

A lovely pub garden for drinks at the end of a walk. Good choice of beer and a lovely cup of tea! Friendly staff.

We came here to eat a few weeks ago and the staff were rushed off their feet but we still got a very good and tasty lunch. Nice 👍🏽

Visited last year and went again this year on our annual trip to the Yorkshire coast as the food was so nice. Friendly staff. We had our 2 labradors with us as pub is dog friendly. Food is fabulous. Can definitely recommend the lasagne.The desserts are lovely too ( Hot chocolate brownie is a must)! Will be back next year.

Having gone into central Whitby only to leave 15 minutes later because of how disturbingly busy it was (especially during Covid), we followed our noses and ended up at the Fox and Hounds for some lunch. We enjoyed it so much that we returned 2 days later. The second time we both had the fish and chips and were extremely impressed. The chips are homemade (NOT frozen) and the cod is beautifully fresh with huge flakes and with a very light and crispy batter. When I asked the chap about it he mentioned that he goes down to Whitby every morning to buy fresh fish for the menu. So there you go! Our accompanying glasses of wine were excellent and very reasonably priced. We also had fun guessing which of the other guests the Bentley in the car park belonged to.

Off the beaten track but worth a visit in good weather - seating is all outside (with some under a gazebo) to observe social distancing. Staff take your food and drinks orders outside and then bring your orders to you. Only had a snack but Sunday lunchtime the garden was getting quite full and our food and everything we saw was good. Car parking over the road, external access to toilets, and a great family of hosts - well worth a visit.

We have eaten here on many occasion the food is brilliant & very reasonably priced , The whole family work very hard giving a warm & welcoming service , we last visited just after lockdown had eased everything was perfect making you feel safe can’t recommend this place enough a must visit for everyone

My family and I stayed in nearby Staithes for a week on holiday and changed upon this pub via a sign on the main road. Only the outside beer garden was open due to the restrictions but don’t let that put you off. We had a warm welcome from the landlord and I think the rest of his family were staffing the pub too with the kids clearing tables. Beautiful garden with a majestic view of the sea above the hedge. Father in law loved the chicken and leek pie (didn’t share). My wife had a lovely cheese and ham toastie. Chips were delicious. I had the farmers platter (pork pie scotch egg etc.) perfect and just what I needed. Washed down with well kept ale. This place will struggle in these awful covid times so please give it a try for a lunch or pint - it won’t let you down.

Called in on spec. Late in the day. Seated in beer garden. Felt safe. Fantastic food. Friendly staff. Great service. Highly recommended.

On a very soggy day we diverted our walk to this pub for food. Despite all the social distancing measures they had had to put in place this was a real gem. Seated in the garden under large garden parasols we were treated to excellent food, as a previous diner mentioned the scampi was excellent, my husband was impressed, my gluten free mushroom and spinach lasagne was very tasty and the chips were the best I’ve had in ages, and they were gluten free too! We will return soon.

Delicious food, everything home cooked and top quality. Very welcoming and good for families. Would highly recommend.

Our first post-lockdown meal out. Warm sunny day, socially distanced in the beer garden with all the required checks in place. It felt safe, and the hardworking staff were welcoming and really friendly. Good food and drink from an understandably limited menu. 💯 Excellent!

Look at the website for the menu (so you're not surprised like Carol - pub was 'gastro' pub with VERY restricted opening hours and 'covers' - previous owners) - Pub grub (done very well). It's clear the owners have carefully thought about food wastage - being out in the middle of nowhere (SENSIBLE!) Scampi best I've had (no horrid hot water spurting out of them as other places) chips are to die for. Generous portions BEWARE! Could do with a soup on the menu and at least 1 hot pudding with custard. Owners very friendly and make slight changes (salad to peas vice versa) without being a problem. I'd like to know if they do a Sunday lunch as I've not seen a menu for that. Will be back for the chicken & leek pie. Lovely roaring fire.

Looking for a meal on Sunday late afternoon came across a friendly warm community pub well worth a visit. Great beer and lovely food dog friendly worth a trip off main Rd.

Visited the Fox and Hounds as we were staying locally. We had lunch which was really nice. Really fresh sandwiches and lovely home made chips. Really nice people. When we are next in the area we will definitely go back. It really is worth a visit.

I seldom write repeat reviews but feel compelled to do so in response to the recent post from Carol from Sheffield. If she had spent a little time reading through a few reviews, she would have discovered that the Fox and Hounds has changed tenants in the past few years. The previous tenants’ reviews are still on this page, as are some of their photos.She would also have discovered that the present tenants serve a simple menu of home cooked food that is delicious and excellent value for money - as is evident by the number of repeat customers they have.In addition, the chips that appear to have caused such offence are outstanding and very popular. In fact, a visit to the Fox and Hounds would not be complete without sampling them!

I don't know where the pictures of the food for this place have come from, but when we went for a meal the choice was fish, lasagne, pie or ploughman's ALL WITH CHIPS AND PEAS. no other veg available. Dessert was literally brownies Or ice cream.

First time at the Fox and Hounds - we had a lovely lunch ploughman's lunch for me and trio of the sea for my husband. Food was first class very good quality and reasonably priced. Landlord and his lady very friendly. Proper old fashioned pub after visiting endless chains. Would recommend you visit. We will be back

Off the beaten track a lovely welcoming family friendly pub with beautiful views. I had the vegetarian platter and it was delicious. Board games to keep the kids entertained and a stunning beer garden. Another bonus was that our dogs were made to feel welcome too. Will definitely return.

Lovely pub! I came for lunch and had the lasagne which was gorgeous and the homemade chips were spot on. Staff are so lovely and welcoming and allowing dogs inside is a nice touch. All round great pub, can’t wait to come back!

Best food we’ve had since being in Whitby. Proper, tasty, home cooked food. I had the trio of fish and my partner had the lasagne. It was all well cooked and everything was fresh. Also several vegetarian options available. The couple running the pub are friendly and helpful. Can’t recommend enough!

Driving along looking for somewhere we could eat and came across signs to the fox and hounds on the side of the road. Followed them to find a lovely pub restaurant in middle of small village. Did not look much from the outside. The inside is very surprising very cosy and bigger than it looked from outside. The staff were very friendly and helpful the food was amazing and fresh would definitely go back.

We stopped here for dinner recently and we couldn’t have asked for a warmer welcome. The homemade chicken and leek pie was delicious, as was the ale (Timothy Taylor), with both served by lovely staff - we’ll definitely be back.

We called in on impulse after an afternoon at Runswick Bay. The place is signposted from the main road but easy to miss. About 5 mins drive from Runswick / Hinderwell towards Whitby.

Lovely food and good fun in the beer garden playing quoits. Service was very fast ordering 7 meals on Bank Holiday Monday.

out on a long walk we realised it didn't take us past a pub for lunch. stumbled across a sign for this pub, it was 3/4 of a mile out of the route but there was no other choice.

Really friendly and helpful staff. The food was well cooked, the fish in particular was freshly cooked. Well worth a visit.

I ate here a year ago with my family and declared their fish and chips (and mushy peas!) the best ever. I am delighted to report that this is still the case, after eating there on Sunday. My dad enjoyed the chicken and leek pie which looked delicious. It’s a little off the beaten track but well worth finding for great food, friendly service and a fabulous view.

The hosts were very welcoming on our visit, and the pub itself was cosy and clean. Toilets were spotless. Dogs were also welcome inside and out in the beer garden. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Will definitely visit again.

This is a simple old fashioned pub on the Cleveland Way on the edge of a small village. When we called it was quiet so was surprised that they had sold out of all pies which is the only reason not giving 5 stars. Sells Timothy Taylors beer which in my opinion is the best in the world! Also dog friendly.

We found this pub whilst driving about in the area. Family run, very welcoming and lovely beer garden with fantastic views over the bay. Our dog was also made very welcome. Simple no fuss menu, value for money and the service was excellent. What more could you want !

Really wanted to put in a good word for the Fox & Hounds at Goldsborough. It's just off the Whitby to Hinderwell road, and is the best place we ate at in the area all week. Lovely old school country pub, with a beautiful beer garden with a fantastic view down into Whitby. The menu is small, but vegetarians are catered for (my mushroom & spinach lasagne was gorgeous), and the warm chocolate brownie with ice cream was heavenly. It was also incredibly good value. So my tip would be, on a sunny evening especially, Fox & Hounds beats the crowds in Whitby into a cocked hat.

We came across this place by accident. Lovely meal of main course x 2, drink x 2, pudding x 2 and coffee x 2 all for £30.10!!! The filo was lovely and the chips were perfect. The service was great!! Lovely chat with Allen, the owners son. Will be back!!!

We came across this pub as we left Whitby in search of lunch .We spotted an A board on the main road advertising the pub ..directing us down a country road and we almost missed it .The pub is actually on Goldsborough lane and the car park is over the road .The pub has a lovely beer garden and is run by such lovely genuine people .The food is excellent ..very tasty , well presented and very good value . We enjoyed it so much that we came back the following day . ...which was the last day of our holiday unfortunately.

For mid June it was very wet and My Wife and I and a very wet dog walked into the Pub at 2.30pm. The kind of time that could pull a face from many landlords. But not here we were treated like guests in their home. Fairly standard pub food when you look at the menu. However

I love this place, my parents fell across it by chance when staying with friends in Sandsend and enjoyed it so much took me back a day later.

Have eaten here twice this week. Sat in pub garden with lovely views, the owners are very welcoming. The food : I chose the veg lasagna my husband had fish and chips , other day Greek feta pie, salad cheese board, chocolate brownie and ice cream. All were very high standards and so tasty. Wine and beer both nice. Will return before we go back home. Do visit and bet you go back again

We were looking for somewhere quieter to eat early evening Easter Saturday, saw a sign on the main road on way from Whitby to saltburn. Googled it and saw it had good reviews. Sonhkad we chose it, lovely setting and view, I had lasagne it was lovely. Sat outside in the garden, dogs welcome inside and out. Couldn't fault it.

Helen - the wonderful owner of the guest house we were staying in at Sandsend had mentioned that she had recently had one of the best Chicken & Leek pies she had eaten in a long time (all of her recommendations had been spot on up to this point in our holiday, so we decided to find this pie). This became quite the saga - we were a bit sketchy on the actual location of this pie, however, it was mentioned in the same discussion as Runswick Bay, so we headed in that direction. A lovely, albeit somewhat strenuous walk from Sandsend, we bypassed a sign to the Fox and Hound pub on the Cleveland Way, however, we focused on getting to Runswick Bay and as such, we did not detour. Long story short we did a pub crawl (3 in all) of Runswick Bay to find this pie - no one did a pie. We spoke with Helen the next afternoon and she mentioned that the pub was in Goldsborough, so we decided to head there for dinner. Got there just after 6pm on Easter Sunday and checked out the menu - a line through the pie - NO MORE PIES! My partner let out a big squeal, to the horror of the locals. We decided to buy a round of drinks to compose ourselves and recover from our disappointment. After one drink in the beautiful beer garden, we went inside and started to chat with the locals. This is where one of the best nights out we have ever had, begun. If you appreciate sitting in a pub, chatting with the friendly locals, eating wonderful home cooked food (even though it wasn't the chicken and leek pie ;)), served with love, then this is your joint. Richard behind the bar and Angela were so welcoming. We may have been super lucky, however, Alwyn, Vera, Sharon, & Elaine welcomed us like family and we will never forget their hospitality. If you are passing by on your walk or staying in the area, this lovely pub is well worth the visit. Can't wait to get back there!

If you want good, honest reasonably priced home cooked food away from the packed tourists hot-spots in Whitby this is your pub. Yes it's off the beaten path but that's part of its charm. The menu is small and there nothing fancy or delicate on there but the food is plentyful and tasty. There is nothing 3663 about this place you can tell everything is cooked and prepared on site. The welcome is warm, the pint is decent and the food is good, what more do you need? Oh and the view from the pub is stunning with a sizeable beer garden in front of the pub. Will be returning.

Called in for a quick mid-walk drink and ended up eating. Good beer, excellent ploughmans and reasonably priced. Will definitely go again!

Went here for the first time on a recommendation. And have to say food was lovely. Home cooked perfect. Excellent price excellent quality. Will be back soon and certainly back in the summer to enjoy the views from the beer garden

Really nice traditional pub food in a village setting. There is seating outside availible for better weather, with a lovely view of the sea. Dogs are welcome

Ok so its late Feb and we are hikin in shorts and t shirts! The weather has been soo gud! and so has our latest visit to this great pub, We are hikers and when we are in this area I always try to put this boozer into our route, Latest visit glorious weather sat in the beer garden lovely drink and a nice little menu, We had the Farmers Platter and a portion of chips 2 people did the job! Great to see a proper country pub still going well, If I could improve this pub it would be lower the hedge on the South of the beer garden and open up that view? Just a thought! See you next time. Thank you.

Called in here on a walk from Runswick Bay (2.5 miles away) and back via Kettleness (7 miles total). Just the ticket: simple, good value meal and we were on our way well within an hour. Don't expect anything fancy: the Fox & Hounds is an old fashioned, family run farmers' hostelry. No need to book either. We turned up at 1pm on a Sunday and had the place to ourselves initially.

We were staying at Sandsend for a week before Christmas 2018 and called in one evening for dinner at the Fox and Hounds. The position of the pub makes it a great place to call into while walking the coast route. We visited at night but the views from the pub during the day must be wonderful.

We were in the area only for a couple of nights and came across this cute little pub. Run by lovely people and although we weren’t hungry when we arrived, the food we saw being brought out changed our greedy minds.

Simply a superb little village pub, no frills just a lovely couple giving a warm welcome and superp simple home cooked food, fab chips made from ‘real’ potatoes and home made apple cake so light it nearly floated from my plate.

Having re-opened in May this little pub deserves all the support we can give it. The current owners are doing their bit with great food at excellent prices and good beers. Dogs are now welcomed and love the open fires. Though they will hopefully pick up a great trade from walkers on the Cleveland Way through the summer, I recommend everyone who happens to find themselves in the area to give this a go. Keep in mind that food is only served up to 8pm.

We found this pub by chance as we were looking for a point in which to walk to Whitby and back. Friendly landlord was more than happy for us to leave the car for a few hours before returning to have some food.

Sensible choices on the menu and sensible prices to match. Food quality was great and the real ale was delightful - a well-looked after pint. This pub is a little out of the way, but well worth seeking out. When we return to the area we will be here for lunch again. Delightful!

Called in after walk from Sandsend. Lovely guy behind the bar. Dog and child friendly. Ordered sandwiches and chips. Best food we've had all week. Reasonably priced and tasty. Guy was genuinely pleased to see us. 5 stars. We came here a long-time ago

After walking up the hill from Runswick Bay we drove off to find somewhere to eat. This was off the beaten track but the welcome was great. A proper old country pub. No nonsense food, well prepared and quickly served. Limited range of beers at the small bar but the Timothy Taylors was just fine. Wonderful views of the sea. All in all a great find after a long mornings walk.

Came here a few times recently while on placement at Botton Village. Scenery is nice, the food is nice and so are the staff. Not a great deal of food options but certainly a choice for everyone which is nice.

The Wife and I walked from Runswick Bay along the coastal path, which perhaps could do with some signs to this pub. Once/finally arrived we sat in the garden for a bit , then went inside to eat. T Taylor beer and lager good. Scampi and ploughman’s platter fab.the chips even better. Perfect for walkers, dogs and kids. Please trim the hedges for a better sea view. Would recommend to all.

We called in at 2 for a Sunday Lunch and it was delicious.

I am not sure if I went to the same pub as everyone else because my experience was completely different!

Looking for a different place to eat we hit upon this pub restaurant just a few minutes off the road out of Sandsend towards Staithes. Well worth the little detour, only 3 mins off the main road in the village of Goldsborough. The food was excellent. I am quite fussy about pub food being frozen and then microwaved but this was all cooked fresh. My chips were to die for. My husband had vegetarian platter which had quiche, dolmadi, stuffed tiny peppers, 3 different cheeses, salad, olives, bread all for £8.50. I really would recommend this pub. They haven't been open very long but deserve to do well. Nice safe pub garden to sit in too so ideal for children. Give it a try!

We discovered this pub after reading about it in the Yorkshire post. We love the secluded location and fabulous views. The welcome from the new owners was heart warming, the beer spot on and the food excellent. One member of our party declared the fish and chips the best she had ever had in a pub.

Wonderful old traditional English pub. Great food and beer! Just popped up after visiting sandsend beach. Was glad we found it real gem.

Popped in for a much needed pint of shandy after 12 miles on the coast path down from Saltburn....just a great simple welcoming pub with no frills....and stunning views from the garden. Cannot wait to go back to eat at soem stage.....but don't tell everybody as it will be ruined!!

Lovely little pub in a stunning location, steak and Ale pie is to die for Wishing Richard and Angela all the very best with their new venture Definitely worth a visit

Lovely lasagne and chips and beautiful Victoria sponge definitely recommended dog friendly. Very nice staff

After a trip to Runswick Bay we wanted somewhere to eat and noticed the sign on the main road saying Fox and Hounds Country Pub.

Read about a new couple running this pub in the Yorkshire Post, Prev owners ran it like a gastro pub? No thanks, As a keen long distance walker organised a hike in this area for me and the Mrs knowing we could pop into this pub for a meal stop. Well what a find this place is amazin, It is like a village pub should be A proper pub!! The sun was out so the beer garden it was what a great view South down the coast to Whitby, We ordered a couple of bar meals from a very simple menu This won t suit some punters, and the food we got was simple, lovely cooked and went down a treat I wish this couple all the best they are really rollin the dice BUT you have Whitby on one side and Teeside the other The people are there to be drawn to this venue Will be back just depends if I am hikin in that area! and I guess in the near future I will be. If you are a hiker or a proper dog walker this place is a real find, Oh and it looks pretty child friendly So dogs and sprogs are good to go!! OS map 27 Grid Ref 836 146! What a nerd I am! LOL

The new owners of this pub are a family who deserve to do well. The locals have got their pub back (it was a bit posh and upmarket for 13 years and not local friendly). Great views, good beer, superb home cooked grub (I recommend the vegetable lasagne, and the chips are great). We had a very enjoyable time eating, drinking and talking to the local families who were frequenting it on a Thursday evening. Well worth the effort in finding this pub. Dog friendly as are most places in this area.

Called in twice for lunch twice during recent holiday. Welcome for us ÷ 2 dogs was excellent. Genuine home cooked food. Lovely!

Just had lovely meal at the pub. Gluten free options. I had home cooked ham ,egg and hand cut chips. Great value ,friendly staff. Fabulous views. Well worth a visit

We were walking part of the Cleveland Way and decided to have our lunch here. Our party of eight enjoyed a delicious, reasonably priced two course lunch. Perfect refuelling for a further six miles walking.
