The Hare & Hounds in Scarborough

Everything about this place was excellent The food was delicious, portions were huge. I had crispy pork noodles, wife had scampi. All freshly cooked and hot. Toffee crunch for dessert, also delicious. Everyone was so friendly. It's not the biggest place so I suggest booking, they managed to squeeze us in after a cancellation! Reasonable prices too. My special was £20, overall bill was £80.10. for 2 mains, a dessert and 6 spirit and mixers. Bargain ! Thank you!

Portions good and food fine for a promptly serving pub. Everyone kept to themselves or their own groups, but it was lunchtime and I probably looked rough. Pleased with my decision to delay the last couple of miles of my walk and enjoy them with a full belly - (Robin Hood Bay pubs were mad-busy).

Brilliant dog friendly pub. The food was fabulous, reasonably priced, and the service excellent.

My son recommended to come here for tea.Wow I wish we had been before .I had the chicken and ham hock pie with vegetables it was lovely we all loved our meals and the deserts were delicious 😋. Lovely place nice friendly staff can't wait to go again 👍

Called in yesterday as we're camping nearby, managed to snag the one remaining table in the bar area and they were happy to serve us food in the bar which for a bank holiday weekend was great as the restaurant side was full. Staff and locals were so friendly, fussing over our dog and the food was outstanding, a level up from traditional pub grub definitely. We left very happy indeed!

Loved it, went back three times. Food amazing, portions more than large. Staff very professional and friendly.

A must for great food or just a beer.

popular village pub excellent food fantastic service from really friendly staff highly recommend this lovely place

Rang up on a Tuesday for a table, sorry,we're fully booked,asked if could book for Wednesday, full,Thursday full,Friday full. But they managed to squeeze us in on the Wednesday. SO GLAD THEY DID.The food was top draw. Brisket, belly pork, burger, all delicious. Make sure you leave enough room for the homemade crumble. If staying in or around whitby,book in advance and enjoy.

Stopped in for lunch off the Cinder Path. Very pleasantly surprised by the choice, quality and quantity of the sandwich plates. Delicious pit stop before our return to Whitby. Couldn't resist a final drink in the beer garden.

Really great food, we were on holiday and just looking for a decent pub lunch. It was fantastic food, couldn't fault anything. You could come here for a real treat the food was so good. I had the special burger, other half did his pie was the best he has ever had!

Went for Sunday lunch with our granddaughter. Food was delicious. Roast dinner with really tasty beautiful meat, fresh veg and rich gravy. 2 year old had fish with chips and beans and it was hot, fresh and she loved it. Only criticism is husband ordered the large roast which promised extra meat, veg and potatoes. He got 1 roast potato and the veg was a normal portion. As said before cant fault the quality of the meat and food but not worth paying extra for a larger portion as it’s just a mix of the meats on offer. Waitress/bar lady was a little surly but did her job as needed.

Been coming here for 4yrs now. Excellent pub in Hawsker, in between Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay. Bar area is small and often full with locals - but that brings the atmosphere! Theakstons Best Bitter and Old Pec on cask and consistently well kept. Good range of gins and wine too. It's the food and service which stands out though. The pies are excellent and pork belly / burgers / parmagiano / Indonesian curry / brisket all highly recommended. Puddings also great. Good range of kids food too. Finally, midweek themed nights such as "Italian", "Tapas" and "Steaks". High quality of ingredients, consistently good cooking, and LARGE portions😀

Lovely, local pub with a great restaurant. Choice of food and the quality of it was superb. Super-friendly staff too.

Had a lovely roast dinner here whilst staying in Whitby, very popular need to book

Call yesterday, the pig's in blanket were fantastic, the Sunday roast was bang on

We,(two people) called in here by chance on Sunday afternoon and the friendly staff found us a comfortable table by the fire. We ordered two well priced Sunday lunches. The substantial meals, topped off with a giant Yorkshire pud arrived promptly and were wonderful, one of the best meals we've ever had, would definately recomend.

This is an absolutely fantastic place. Warm and welcoming bar area. Good selection of beers. Locals made us feel at home and the staff were always super helpful. We ate here twice whilst staying nearby. Wonderful food and plenty of it. Served piping hot. Nice restaurant area separate from the bar for diners. We will definitely return. This is how a proper pub should be.

Just back from having a meal here, we sat in the bar area & I had hashcake & egg and my husband had pork sandwich, chips & gravy both were delicious, very tasty. Think we'll go back before the end of our week's holiday. Thank you.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch never seen such big Yorkshire puddings the ultimate is to be recommended. Good service and chef Andrew did us proud.

Fantastic, friendly pub. We’ve just stayed in the area and ate there all 3 days. Food is excellent and a great selection on the menu. Good selection of drinks too! Definitely get booked in as it’s very popular

Just called in as we were passing as we have never been in before. Reasonably priced drinks and the food was excellent. The desserts were amazing and very filling.

Local pub with good atmosphere and dog friendly

Didn't have meal.as impromptu visit but plenty of people eating was packed and looked verry good lovely atmosphere

When you have to book a table midweek it is all ways a good sign. W e had the steak & mushroom pie and the braised beef and mash . both meals were superb . you need to be hungry to finish the steak pie , chips & mushy peas.

Me and my partner visited here one Saturday evening we had pre booked a table. The staff were friendly The food was hot and tasty, and the portion sizes were decent

Great food and atmosphere... if your in the area definitely go . . . And dogs allowed...

Last table free on a Tuesday evening says it all Food was amazing with very good presentation found this gem by accident and highly recommend Ps would advise you book, also dog friendly bar

Excellent food and brilliant service 👌

Such a friendly pub especially with Adam the landlord and his partner, very hospitable, staff and customers make it a warm welcoming and very respectful place, where you can be nice, to be nice have a laugh and a joke as if your 30year old friends. Best of luck and good health to all and congratulations again....Ian, Pegs & Apollo

Large battered prawns were superb as was the homemade soup, we both went with the home made steak & mushroom pie which was also excellent great home made chips and onion rings with a side of fresh vegetables. So full couldn't manage pudd but booked to come again tomorrow!

Visited twice on recent holiday in North Yorkshire. The food is outstanding. Best fish and chips ! And lovely chilled Chardonnay ☺️

Fantastic pub - welcoming with excellent food and a varied menu - we visited twice on our holiday as it was so lovely

Fantastic food, great for vegetarians. There were multiple vegetarian options on the menu and the meal I ordered (veg curry) was truly delicious and pleasantly spicy.

Fantastic food. They really do have an excellent chef !

If there were empty tables, they said that everything was occupied. When asked if we would wait until a table became available, they said no. They didn't give us any food to take away either. We wasted our time driving here.

Wonderful food. Waited a tad longer than usual, but the food was really well worth the wait. Whitby scampi was awesome!

Attitude staff if you not local

Visited several times now for Sunday dinner, one of our favourite places to go to for a roast. Vegetarian options available. Friendly helpful staff and a cozy atmosphere.

Had lunch on way back from Whitby Abbey. Lovely find, Sat in the beer garden with delicious sandwiches would definitely recommend.

Nice little pub big beer garden and the food was freshly cooked and very nice

It was a good pub with good food. The service was a bit slow but they were a bit crowded they said. The staff was friendly.

Amazing food served by very friendly barstaff in lovely surroundings. Only wish I had room for dessert.

Good beers .friendly helpfull staff and excellent food

Yes it nice to the pub very friendly staff 😀 x

Had chicken and Hock ham pie absolutely beautiful,the pie was delicious, the chips perfect abd tge veg were great to mix into the pie to finish the cream sauce which was scrumptious. Definitely recommend, my husband ha pork and blackpudding pie and that was delicious too.

Favourite place to go for a meal in whitby and surrounding area. Food fabulous and great value.

Managed to fit us on when it was busy. Staff friendly, food lovely. Plus dog friendly too 😁

Sunday lunch was delicious i even had a pudding which is unusual me me and that was tip top too. Well done guys 👍

Very friendly staff and local ppl . The food was perfect and hot 🔥

Popped in for lunch and got a table no problem. Service was fast and friendly with no problems. Food took a while to come but was freshly made and delicious. Large portions and extremely tasty. We had the gammon steak, beef Ragu and Aberdeen Angus burger and we all loved it but struggled to finish them. £60 for 3 meals and drinks not to bad

The allocation wasn't great. The food and service was fine.

One of the best meals out we have had in years service was excellent food was amazing.. going back next week

This is a lovely pub with friendly staff and absolutely fantastic food. We were camping nearby and popped in by chance. We stopped in for a few pints of ale and cider, then popped by two more times during the week. I can recommend the Steak and Ale pie, the Chicken and Ham pie, the Shin of Beef, and the Angus burger. All the main dishes were priced reasonably between £16.95 and 18.95. Each meal was phenomenal. The staff and locals were lovely and tolerated the presence of tourists. I would highly recommend that you pre-book a table as the restaurant was full every night. Honestly, the trip to North Yorkshire was worth it for the food at the Hare and Hounds.

Dark and sad place. The staff complained about being over worked as soon as I approached the bar. So over worked they couldn’t remember to pour the one and only beer I’d ordered. I only stayed for a drink. I had hoped for dinner but quickly left from the poor service and I’ll organised. Plus the atmosphere was eery and depressing. No music. No talking. Bleak place. Very disappointed in this village pub, as I remember the pub being incredible many years ago. Sadly, it must have changed hands to someone who doesn’t care for holiday clientele or their staff. I hope it improves. But I won’t be testing it out.

Great pub, love it. Food is always great and brilliant service. They sell Old Perculier which is my favourite so it makes it a special pub. Dog friendly and even the locals are friendly.

We called in this pub just on the off chance for something to eat before setting off back home to Sheffield. So glad we did! I had the gammon steak and my friend had a burger- the portion sizes were amazing and the food was delicious! I had the gammon which was cooked to perfection, I received proper home-made chips which were just to die for! I also got an egg, a pot of peas and a lovely side salad, It wasn’t an ordinary side salad, it was presented beautifully And had a very tasty dressing! My only problem was, I simply couldn’t eat it all, not a problem for my friend though who polished the rest of mine off! He can eat for England! He got one of the house special burgers, which came with chips and Asian slaw, He demolished the burger pretty quickly, and said it tasted really great, and it looked good too from what I could see of it before he eaten it all! Must have been good! This is one of those pubs that has obviously had to branch out and serve food as a way of staying open. I imagine that this place was once bustling with all the locals, just in for a drink straight from work or later on for a night out. However, times have changed. What this pub has managed to do Keep hold of both for the time being. They cater for the likes of us, passers by who need a rest stop and something to eat, holiday makers who want to enjoy a nice meal out etc, But what was lovely was to see all the locals and workers are still drinking in there as well. In their mucky gear after a hard shift, Chatting with her friends, other locals and staff behind the bar. I found this particularly heartwarming as many of my own local pubs have closed down and haven’t been able to remain open, so we sacredly hold on to the ones we have left. If the people of Hawsker are ever in Woodseats or Heeley in Sheffield, they will most likely find me in my Royal Mail uniform propping up a bar after a hard days work doing exactly the same as them! If you are- come over and say hello!! I love to see someone enjoying a drink after a hard day! I do hope that other people arent put off by the fruity conversations and the swearing! (Only in the side where the locals were!) I loved it ,I made me feel more relaxed! I’m not keen on being in place where I have to stand on ceremony! The pub itself has obviously had to Modernise, I like a cosy boozer with lots of character But as I’ve said times of changed, however, this has been decorated beautifully and in keeping with the name of the pub. It Very much has a countryside field to it and is still cosy. I can imagine it on a Dark winters night with all the cosy lighting and the log burner roaring. Needless to say, whenever I am back up, that way, I will be calling him for something to eat, a pint and a good neb listening to the locals! Long may it continue. PS, sorry for the long post, I got carried away!

Amazing is the only word I can say. The food was cooked to perfection, and the staff were friendly.

Nice pub for a pint with your best friend! :-)

Lovely place! We're so glad we checked it out. The vegetarian options were pretty good & the menu choice including the specials is enough to satisfy most people's taste buds. I'd have gone for the market fish dish, which sounded amazing, but it sold out. I went for the halloumi stirfry in sticky soy glaze instead, served with warm pitta, chunky homemade chips, salad and coleslaw. It was delicious. The only thing I'd have changed is the coleslaw as it didn't go with this dish. Hopefully, the chef/owner might make an adjustment to that. Being a stirfry, a small pot of rice would have complimented it much better, alongside the chips, pitta and salad. My partner had a burger from the specials board which was 2x Aberdeen Angus patties with pulled pork, cheese, and even some bacon. It was a huge burger, and the photo doesn't do it justice. He said it was really good! I think it should have come with a side salad like most burgers, but it would have been wasted on him lol. If you're a cinder track user it's ideal to walk on lighter nights, have a little food and a couple of drinks, and either walk or bus it back. We'll definitely be returning and will likely be able to rate it even higher with a bit of consistency & a bit more experience to go from. Lovely job guys! Thank you.

We stayed at the nearby campsite and ate here a couple of times. First time was just 5 of us, the following night we had a group of 15. On both occasions, the service and food were exceptional. There's a lovely convivial atmosphere in the pub, and we will certainly visit again next time we're in the area.

Called off for a pint whilst walking the CinderTrail from Whitby to Robin Hoods Bay. Great pub for a half way stop off. Pint was great, service was a bit cold though. Didn’t eat but food looked great when coming out the kitchen.

Couldn’t recommend this place more! Owner is a really welcoming and a great host. The food is worth every penny everyone ate something different and everyone said it was the best food they had in a long time! Will definitely return when in Yorkshire. (If in doubt get the prawn and mussel linguine it was amazing!)

Great food great atmosphere with good service

Lovely place , friendly and efficient service and fabulous food plus the dogs were welcome too !

Lovely tradition village pub with great food and beer. Reasonable prices and dog friendly

Nice friendly place and lovely food. Go here at least once every few months and always good.

Was camping close by so went for a couple of ales in the afternoon and then back for an evening meal. The ale was tasty and the food was delicious, definitely recommend.

Amazing food and great value for money. Lovely welcome from staff who can't do enough for you, would definitely recommend a visit ...but book early to avoid disappointment as its so popular.

More than just a country pub, it's a hub for the locals and for all the visitors that pass up and down the coastal road and trail. It's got a warm and welcoming atmosphere very well staffed and if there is not enough room inside its got loads of outdoor seating. The food 🍲 and drink is excellent with plenty of choice and it was a pleasure to have are Anniversary dinner with you while staying across the road at Swan Farm. You can't beat a village pub.

A superb pub with high quality meals, service and drinks. Warm with a good atmosphere. The staff offered a friendly and professional service. Would highly recommend eating here

Very nice food and drinks. Nice and warm.

Two adults and our Labrador were made welcome for both an evening meal and Sunday lunch. The service was excellent and made with a smile and the menu choice and food quality were both very good. We will certainly be back if in this area again.

Beautiful meal tonight, from the girls behind the bar, the food and even the locals, it was great. Would highly recommend.

Really great food and service to match. Definitely will visit again next time we are in the area.

Comfortable, clean, friendly, good service and exceptional value. The ale (Theakston's Best Bitter and Cameron's Stongarm) was well kept, and the food (Market Fish of the Day & Aberdeen Angus burger) was simply excellent. A real gem of a discovery. 100% recommended to anyone visiting the East side of the North York Moors.

Fantastic pub and fantastic food I highly highly recommend 👌

Found this little gem whilst out on a dog walk. We returned for tea and it was amazing, steak and ale pie the best I've tasted. Hubby had the Aberdeen Angus beef burger off the special board which had black pudding, bacon and cheese on top. The chips were delicious as was the homemade coleslaw. The staff were friendly and efficient, the atmosphere great with locals happy to welcome us. We'll definitely be back. Cheers Amanda & Paul

Lovely pub! We had a great meal here, really friendly staff, very nice atmosphere and incredible food! I would definitely recommend the steak & ale pie. Would definitely return if in the area again.

Booked a table for a Friday evening whilst staying in Whitby. 4 adults and 2 small dogs. The young ladies who served us were extremely polite, friendly and were on the ball with everything. The food was fresh, hot and so tasty. It is so nice when you can relax in a lovely atmosphere with your dog too. Will definitely be calling again.

Absolutely loved it. Went with family for my birthday on a Sunday. I have intolerances to some veg, sunflower oil and lactose, and after not really knowing what would be okay for me to eat, the waitress asked me if I'd like a veg pie, made from scratch by the lovely chef who did a banging job. It was veg in gravy with pots on top and it was delicious. I also had chips and they were gorgeous too. My family all had a vegetarian Sunday roast and loved it so much that even my 7yr old Granddaughter ate it all. Coffees were lovely, though I took my own lactose free milk that they made me a latte with. Only Bella had room for pudding and she had to share it with my Mother. Outstanding service, all on one floor, so accessible for people with walking difficulties. Big carpark with free parking outside. WiFi code. A really lovely place we'll be eager to visit again.

Great British pub,nice friendly staff with good beer and quality food. We stayed for a couple of nights across the road on the camp site and were made to feel very welcome at the Hare and Hounds.

The Best Sunday Lunch very lovely food. We like at The Hare and Hounds. Look forward to new menu coming. We will back soon and will recommend.

We were staying in Hawkser over the new year break, after seeing the reviews we booked a table in advance with 6 adults and 3 children, as we were a large group we pre-ordered a three course meal from the festive menu, I can honestly say it's one of the nicest meals I've had in a long time - huge portions, not one complaint. We also popped in a couple of times for drinks and found all staff to be friendly and polite, all the locals were chatty too, I would definitely recommend and we will definitely be back.

Called in for an afternoon drink, really cosy and staff were very friendly. So much so we stayed for a meal. Which was delicious 😋. I had the parmo . Called in the following afternoon, with the same results, everyone in our party loved it. The only disappointment is we don’t live near…. Highly recommend

Lovely staff, very efficient, friendly nice atmosphere. Food excellent 10/10 I’ve had fish and chips from many places in Whitby but these were by far the best!!

A fantastic pub! The owners/ landlord/landlady have got this place absolutely spot on! The service was great , very polite and proficient staff The decore is perfect band looks newly done The atmosphere great The food amazing, plus great real ales too! My husband’s favourite, Strongarm! Toilets spotlessly clean Can’t recommend this place enough

Lovely dog friendly pub, felt very welcome with our dog. Had the Belly Pork mash meal and can honestly say it was perfect...10/10 meal! Spot on.

Amazing Sunday roast with great portions and loads of veg!

Lovely cosy pub where we stopped for a drink and meal. Sunday roast was absolutely delicious...would definitely recommend

Great food and service. Great choice of drinks.

The vibe I got is if you're not a local you're not welcome... EDITIED: my dog is not extremely aggressive so how DARE you assume! He had a high vis jacket on that pointed out the fact that he wasn't dog friendly yet a dog that was off lead kept coming into his personal space and the owner was none the wiser, dogs should be on a lead in a public space. The fact that you reply to reviews like that is disgusting. I think you'll find that, I was speaking to a lovely lady across the table telling her how he is a rescue and has been previously attacked but we are trying to socialise him and hopefully in turn he will begin to trust other dogs again. She also came and gave my 'aggressive' dog a fuss before we left. Not that I have to explain myself to you. Not one member of your staff gave a warm welcome, not Hi or How are you? You are very rude and I regret coming back to you earlier and sitting outside. ALSO: dogs that aren't dog friendly are allowed in a dog friendly pub... we kept him under the table out of the way yet going back to a previous point, a dog kept coming up to him... EDITED (again): when on earth did you talk to my partner? You clearly didn't see everything and your side of the story is very wrong. I think it would be beneficial to go back and look at CCTV. EDITIED AGAIN: After calling up the pub and speaking to the owner to ask why he labelled by dog as aggressive I am even more angry. The way he spoke to me and didn't let me finish my sentence the way he made up lies about me bringing the dog over (by lying on the floor 😂) with treats even though I tried to move the dog away as the owner was oblivious. He lied about speaking to my partner as I was the one ordered the drinks... he stumbled on this one... I had to resort to shouting and admittedly swore at him as he labelled me as an irresponsible dog owner for putting a jacket on him to make other owners aware. (Cant quite see how this is irresponsible...) He told me that the locals weren't locals but when I mentioned where they were stood or one of their names as they were talking to the staff he said they weren't in, either this has happened before or he is just clutching at straws. The pub is lovely and the surroundings are beautiful it's just a shame about the management.

A lovely find , it’s a great dog friendly pub with fantastic food. Just wish we had known about it at the start of our stay, staff welcoming will definitely be visiting again .

Had Sunday roast here and would definitely come again. Really good, well-chosen set of veg accompaniments - cauliflower cheese, lovely sweet red cabbage, broccoli florets (still with a bit of bite to them - perfectly done) and a gorgeous swede mash. Home-made Yorkshire puddings were fabulous. Decent wine list - reasonable prices. No room for pudding, but there was a really enticing selection. Worth noting that they do prefer cash payment, but are happy to accept cards. Lovely meal!

The Sunday roast was full of flavour. Excellent gravy and nice veg. Unfortunately my beef was a bit tough to cut through and a little bit of fat on it (personally not a fan of fat). However, this wouldn’t put me off going again as it was definitely nice food. I found the chairs a bit uncomfortable though!

There were six of us having a midweek dinner, I'd advise that you book because it was busy and beware the meals are Large ! Service was fine and a very enjoyable evening

Called in for sunday lunch on our way to Whitby. Friendly and welcoming. A proper pub serving good food.

Great little pub. Food portions were massive! Everything tasted amazing! Great friendly service.

Just a lovely place to eat, food is fantastic and really friendly unhurried atmosphere. We will be back

A really friendly little pub. I went in with my parents for lunch today and was greeted by really friendly staff and served excellent food. The steak, mushroom and ale pie was genuinely one of the best I’ve ever had and has left me full up hours later. Highly recommend and will visit again.
