Very tasty food and friendly service, will go again 🙂

Pleasant pub with decent food and outdoor seating area

Good place to meet and eat nice food good service and clean also dog friendly.

Stopped for a pint yesterday and ended up having food,,steak baguette chips and salad,,absolutely beautiful 😋

Really good service - a problem was quickly resolved, with very friendly helpful staff 👍

Lovely location and food was nice

Very basic Pub Grub, poor food presentation which didn't look appetising, although fair portions...won't be going back.

Just popped in to have a drink outside, take in the beautiful views of Scarborough. Brought back my childhood memories 50 years ago when we stayed at the holiday park just up the hill. I remember the pub as a gift shop as a kid. Such a lovely pub now too.

Lovely place really nice location and the staff fantastic but the food didn't live up to expectations expected better but was really let down , sorry guys .

The food over priced ordered meat pie basically tin stewing meat with a puff pastry top . Nice place but wouldn't recommend I'm disabled no where to park except down by sealife £5-30 for 3hrs .

Lovely pub nice outdoors space next to a cliff and rocky peaceful river ⛵🌿and sea 🌊 coming in!

Wonderful visited with hubby son and his wife fab food beautiful views nice staff

Remember to ask what size portion you want, staff friendly, dogs welcome,

Food was reasonable for the price you pay. Must say though that its the attentive service from the young men serving on that made the experience more enjoyable.

Great location, great atmosphere, great service, and food delicious. Breakfasts are lovely and fresh, and no flabby wet mushrooms were all cooked superbly.

Food was excellent, lots of it and no waste. We all chose fish and chips, party of 4.

Came for breakfast 2nd day in a row. Fresh, well cooked and really enjoyable. The guy serving couldnt do enough for us. Perfect

Great atmosphere and great food

Love this place ,visit every time we visit Scarborough

The building and setting is a fine example of the towns natural beauty and history. Perched on the banks of a small estuary the spot is ideal for a pitstop pint with it's rocky outcrop that serves as an intriguing play spot for kids to splash and look for crabs. Unfortunately, this is all the spot is currently suited for. The food is below average pub grub and a cynic might think it's a menu designed to exploit passing trade rather than provide any sort of dining experience. Out of season the clientele is your older patron, there's little chatter or atmosphere inside and the food is bland and underwhelming. I went for haddock and chips, something you'd think would be a safe bet for a pub that's practically in the sea, but alas the batter was gooey, the haddock was barely warm and there was no flavor. The homemade chips were ample but soggy and the mushy peas were the grey side of green. Frustratingly all the condiments were sachets, even the salt and vinegar, which is never a good sign. The tartar sauce came out of the packet warmer than the food. The staff there were friendly and welcoming but there was nothing from the dining experience that would pull me back for anything other than a passing drink. Rather than a busy menu of this and that it would perhaps be better suited to specializing in something, seafood being the obvious choice, and focus on doing it well.

Small but very popular pub. Good prices. Didn't have food on this occasion but if it's like previous visits it's pretty good

Haven't been in for a number of years, Beautiful views wonderful Atmosphere, and than you to Mein Host Kali hope I spelt that correctly, wonderous talking about My Hero Lee The Legend Marvin, please visit you will be Astonished.

Not a vast menu but everything is delicious

Went there yesterday for the first time. Food was lovely. The 2 guys working there were full of personality and friendly and fun. We sat outside in the sunshine with gorgeous views of the coast. Lovely day.

Nice boozer, nice views, nice food. Nice really.

Was a bit unsure about giving the mill a try after reading one or two bad reviews but we're so glad we did. We received our order quite quickly, the service was good, the food was hot and tasted great. Only wish we'd given it a go earlier in the week as we go home on Saturday. Highly recommended.

Great little pub in a cracking setting. Lovely staff great views and the steam train near by .for me a must .

Lovely dog friendly pub with lovely views and home cooked food always come here when staying in Filey on holiday 😀 recommend onion rings

Food and drinks were 100% as usual, very friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Definitely will be returning.

Great location with a lovely view out of the window. The only choice for sit-in food here. Service very friendly, food average but good portions. Dogs welcome which is always a plus

Found this place by accident and ate there 2 nights running-all staff so friendly, food just the ticket and a great spot with wonderful views thank you!

Perfect place for a pint and a snack with a sea view with excellent decor

Can't comment on the food as I didn't eat here, but it did look good! Nice little pub with some good beers on tap away from the commercial end of town.

Really nice food, great location

Great pub with fantastic views, especially from table 3! Fresh, tasty food, the garlic prawns were out of this world. Lovely service too from Will and the young lady. Definitely recommend and will return when in the area.

A fantastic, quirky pub. Great staff, great food and great beer. Glad we visited. Will go back when we are next there.

Great atmosphere at The Old Scalby Mill. Dog friendly. The food was really nice and worth the price. It reminded us of a cafe atmosphere but with pub drinks and food. Would highly recommend after wandering around Sea Life Centre or after a walk down the beach front.

Came here after we had been to the sealife centre near by and a walk along the beach. Wasn't a decision to be regretted! Had a nice warm welcome. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and chips and it was lovely! Proper home made chips done in a fryer the burger was proper cooked with melted cheese and bacon cooked to perfection! Definitely recommend if your thinking of trying

Regularly visit. Excellent choice of beers. Amazing view of sea and castle.

would give 5 stars them did john smiths smooth or tetley smooth . them did do tetley smooth and it was nice pint and stopped doing it . them do other bitters but not to my liking

Been refurbished Looks nice but a bit cramped didn't eat there, just called for a beer

We received a very warm welcome from Jacob.. Food basic pub grub, good cask ales

Took my mum here for lunch. I can definitely recommend the steak pie & chips. We both really enjoyed it. Amazing sea views .

We visited The Old Scalby Mill during a few days away in Scarborough North Bay. It was a very pleasant 15/20 mins walk along the prom from our accommodation & is situated in a lovely spot at the end of the prom just past the Sea life Centre. The pub is lovely, spotlessly clean & has a real warm & cosy feel to it. We met the owner & staff who really were fab, it was almost like meeting up with old friends. It was a beautiful early evening when we visited so we decided to sit outside & in doing so, we met a couple of the regulars, who were equally as welcoming. We hope to try the food next time we're in North Bay as the menu sounded lovely, we'd definitely recommend to friends & family & will make sure to revisit T O S M next time we're in the area. Update, back in the area 2yrs later, had a few drinks & a bite to eat. Awesome service, lovely pub & super friendly staff + chips, just like the ones my mum made when growing up, what could be better!

Always a friendly welcome and well kept pint of Wainwright. Great views across Scarborough North Bay.

Visited as a family of 8 (6 adults, 2 teenagers and a dog). Lovely welcome. Food was fantastic- tasty and good value especially the steak baguette. Service excellent and very professional (but with lots of laughter all round). Wouldn't hesitate to recommend a visit here if you're in the area and will be back again.

One of my favorite destinations

Real good welcome and Ale excellent

Love this place , Always made to feel welcome... Brilliant staff , Friendly Atmosphere.

Just in for drinks and no acknowledgement from bar person, no please or thank you didn't offer options when asking for a red wine, the only thing he uttered with no eye contact was how much he wanted, doesn't matter how ice the drinks are would rather go somewhere else

Lovely friendly pub and nice food

Took sanctuary when the heavens opened and found a lovely little pub with the friendliest staff this side of Memphis

Didn't eat today but enjoyed a coffee in the sunshine after a delightful walk along the sea front

We visited on the off chance and we were made very welcome along with our 3 tiny dogs. The food was lovely, especially the gravy on the Yorkshire puddings that my husband had. I dipped a few chips in it. The small appetite menu is perfectly sized if you don't eat much and not restricted to just children. The staff were very friendly. I would 100% recommend to anyone in the area. Lovely wee hidden gem.

Lovely place for an afternoon break, you can sit outside, inside, and there is a little conservatory. Had a tea, coffee, beer and wine, all good. Dogs also allowed, she had sausage and chips. Price wise I don’t see a problem, the kind of prices you expect to see for the location.

Ethan served us has a lovely sense of humour food curry lovely cooked by Brandon

Enjoyed our visit nice atmosphere superb views very nice meal and service was very good and friendly will definitely recommend and will be back very soon 👍👍

We have just had four nights at Scarborough North Bay , and we visited The Old Scalby Mill on several occasions , have to say its a wonderful pub in every way , could not fault it on bit.. Definitely recommend it ...

We had lunch here today, very friendly staff, super clean and great food at a great price.

I didn't find it a pleasurable experience 😕

“Eat here!!!!” This is definitely the place to go if you're looking for dog friendly, child friendly, wheelchair friendly. We visited for my son's birthday and the staff couldn't have been more attentive and lovely. The food was fantastic, atmosphere relaxed and all the staff were amazing. What a great place to eat. Thank you to everyone who made us all (10 of us) feel special.

Steak pie chips & peas .absolutely yummy .If looking for somewhere to eat call in you won't be disappointed .

Nice food, good beer and fab location. We met up with friends and we’re enjoying a good catch up when we were told they were closing at 9:00. On a Saturday night when the website clearly says 11:00. Really poor practice to be honest.

Catered very well to large party with dog, food was good

Nice location, below average food

Was disappointed that there was only 2 real ales on offer. Having said that, the Wolds bitter was excellent.

Great location at the end of the North Promenade, well worth stopping for an early dinner and a nice cold beer on a warm day..

Beautiful little place right next go the beach. Loved it and would most certainly go again

Nice little pub. Confusing setup, if you sit outside you have to walk up the road to get to the entrance. It was a quiet day so the atmosphere was quiet. Staff are really friendly. Bit on the pricey side but it is a seaside pub

Lovely character pub overlooking the sea. Nice outdoor area. Friendly staff. Food was average but nice

They offer small size portions of fish and chips, scampi and chips, etc. Staff very friendly, clear tables quickly. Been twice, will be going again.

We used to love Scalby Mill but, since our last trip, pre covid, it appears to have gone downhill somewhat. Although hubby had a v nice steak pie my small haddock was definitely NOT haddock. The young chef was adamant that it was. I settled for a replacement of scampi which I enjoyed but it meant hubby had finished his before mine arrived. The young waiting staff were v inattentive and when I asked for ketchup the response was , "yeah, I'll get it in a minute"...shame as the pub is in a v nice location and used to be a gem.

Fabulous dinner of haddock & chips had the option of salad instead of the mushy peas. The plates were a little on the small size, but we managed.

Delicious food, great portions and beautiful location

Great little bar. Good selection of beers. Nice to sit outside when the weathers good.

We were there for a wake after a funeral, they did the catering which was top notch 👍 The rest of the pub was very busy which is always a good sign 👍

Lovely friendly bar. Close to sea and Sea Life centre, great outside space.

Lovely food, fabulous pub in a great spot. Quite a long wait, but we were warned and it was worth the wait.

Good food ,good beer and great relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended

We, as a family of 6, decided to call in at The Old Scalby Mill to get some lunch and a drink. There was a small queue out the door, but nothing too bad. When we got to the bar, we asked if they had seating inside for 6 ( plenty of available seating outside but it was rather blowy ), and although they were full inside, they managed to accommodate us. The food was all prepared to order ( I assume the jacket spuds were already cooked ) and was top quality. I had the ba on cheese burger, which was probably the best burger I've ever had. It was a proper handmade burger, and there was no excess fat on the bacon. The onion rings were massive, bigger than my sons hand, in fact. All in all, it was a great lunch experience. Everyone enjoyed their food, and there were clean plates all around.

Very good food and beer the hot sharing platter was very good you are best of getting a bus from the sea front a long walk it is if you fancy it bus is £3 for adults takes you to the sea life near to where the pub is

Great staff, great views and great food. Had Haddock and Chips which was very tasty. The chips are something else, probably the best I've ever had. Highly recommended.

Eve and I had a lovely lunch for two, and a beer before scampering up the hillside for a walk a long the cliff tops

The name suggests a lovely old pub but the inside has been modernised, absolutely dreadful. The service was god though and the food looked lovely.

Fantastic food and service. Dog friendly and always go there when over this way

Beautiful food, all we had was lovely, friendly staff , just a great place to spend a few hours

Fantastic little gem, picture postcard views. I wish this was my local 110%

Pretty good pub on the sealife experience site. Good views with a refreshing pint.

Visited here 29th of July staff absolutely fantastic food was brilliant first trio here and definitely be back

So friendly and food wonderful.

Wow, fantastic food, the pie was absolutely lovely, we ordered 3 pies and 2 were successful but was too big a portion for my grandad to conquer, he says 20 years ago he'd have licked the plate clean 😝

Had a nice meal with my family. Food was fresh and tasty. Would recommend if in the area

Needed a dog friendly pub for a family get together to celebrate an 80th birthday. Enjoyed the food and lovely views across the bay towards Scarborough castle. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

A popular pub overlooking Scarborough’s North Bay and located right on the Cleveland Way National Trail.

Nothing too flashy, just a really nice place for lunch, a beer, or tea and cakes. Good views, walks and the Sea Life Centre all near by.

Stopped for a beer after a long walk along Cleveland way. Good pint of woody top ale had to have a second pint 😁. Food menu looked good.

Everytime we go to Scarborough it's a must that we visit scalby mills. Lovely home cooked food, amazing sea views while dining in or out. Lovely staff what more can you ask for. There is a covered eating area outside, we visited last Saturday, really enjoyed sitting outside eating while it was raining. Free parking after 6pm in sea life centre.🥰🥰🥰

What a waste of a location. When you enter what seems like a beautiful pub, it immediately feels more like a greasy spoon cafe. Toilets were very unpleasant and full of flies.

This pub is very popular and it's location is awesome. The pub is only small as it is an old mill and sometimes maybe queuing out of the door to get to the bar. The atmosphere is the best ever, everytime I have been there as been strangers talking to each other, you could be sat out side and a family would just start a conversation. I like that you can go outside on the seawall and drink your beer. Kids can play in the seacut area of the sea.

Top Class Food was amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
