The Plough is in a lovely location and not too far from Whitby harbour which was great for our trip to the WGW. The pub itself is cozy and we were shown to our room by a lovely young chap. There are only three rooms to rent and we were in room one. Upon inspection it was nice and clean and smelt fresh. Very basic with a kettle and tea/coffee but for one night we couldn't complain. The bathroom was very spacious though with a big walk in shower. It was quite cold in our room and when we tried to turn the radiator on it didn't seem to work. We only used the room as a base to sleep and we were out till early hours so this wasn't too much of a problem for us. Also the remote control for the TV didn't seem to work so we only had the one rubbish channel to watch as we couldn't turn the TV over, but again wasn't too much of a problem. If we had been staying for more than a night then we would have mentioned it to staff. I found the bed to be quite comfy but my husband said it was really uncomfortable. We also found a past guests hoodie under the bed so obviously hadn't been cleaned properly. Food was decent and prices were what you'd expect. It was a shame they didn't do breakfast. 10 mins in the car to whitby and not too far from other attractions. We would definitely visit again for food if nearby but I probably wouldn't stay here again if for more than a night.

We were staying in Whitby and saw this place advertised when looking for a carvery and I have to say I’m so glad we visited. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the pub was homely and clean but the food!!! My god it was amazing and really tasty. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to a carvery and the food has tasted home made. Definitely recommend and will return 🤤

We are locals and never been here for a meal, what a amazing meal it was too had the chicken and pepperoni parmesan and chicken curry, very good vaule for money the portion size was big and also ordered cheese garlic bread expecting 2 but was surprised to get 4 and was verry yummy. This place has got to. Be the best value for money in the areas. If your heading to whitby or heading home definitely recommend you call in for a meal.... Only negate bit is id say is could do with a lick of paint in the bar area

Stayed with a group of friends near Whitby, and found some absolute gems when it came to eating out - unfortunately the Plough isn't one! It must be the only place in Whitby where you can't experience delicious fresh seafood of any description! Imagine Scotland with no Haggis! One vegetarian option. One vegan option. Lots of chicken dishes, if that's your thing. Weren't offered any desserts but i didn't fancy microwave spongecake anyway! We all agreed it was a lazy menu. Thankfully there are 6 or 7 pubs within 3 miles that do everything better. Oh and an award winning chippy over the road that seemed busier than the pub, which probably tells a story.

Out with some friends and called on the off chance, as we were looking for somewhere for lunch. This turned out to be a very good choice, we received a friendly welcome, the pub was very clean and tidy. The food was very good , freshly cooked and the home made chips were the best we'd had in many time. My friend said the scampi was the best she'd had ever. There was also some unusual things on the menu, they apologised straight away and advised us of certain items which were not available that day. All in all a very good experience and we will be back.

Recently under new management and a great start. We were staying just down the road and saw this place in passing. Not disappointed. Welcome and service very good, we had the shared starter, well cooked and nice variety of finger food. I had the lasagne and it was lovely, all food was lovely and freshly cooked. Nice views from outside seating area. Sunday carvery was opening the following week so can't comment but sure it would be as good as the food we had

Very disappointing visit went in a group of 4 for Sunday lunch ignore the big banner on the fence and blackboard at the entrance that states Sunday carvery because it doesn’t exist and is false advertising so we had to settle for an extremely basic menu when it arrived the portions are what I would call small when it came to ordering desserts you have to go through to the bar and look at the black board on the wall and what a disappointment 4 different sponges with custard or ice cream and chocolate fudge cake which they didn’t have no sundaes cheesecakes trifles ice creams who wants winter warmers on a beautiful day !!! No one came to ask us if all was ok The beer garden if you can call it that is a total mess overgrown grass and weeds empty hanging baskets and furniture that needs a good paint I think the fact only 2 more people in on a Sunday lunch says it all we only went here for a change but have learnt our lesson and will stick to the Black Bull at ugthorpe at least when they advertise a carvery you know you are going to get one and damn good it is to we will never go back here so take heed people you have been warned !!!

My partner and I stayed for one night via Buy a Gift. We would not recommend this hotel. The room was very basic and not particularly clean. The bed was extremely uncomfortable. On arrival we noticed we had only one towel in the bathroom and so requested a second which never arrived. We had an evening meal in the pub and, although neither of us particularly rated the food (it was adequate at best), we had an enjoyable time as the service was good and the wine was reasonably priced. Although the breakfast was pleasant and hot the bar area it was served in was dark and we got the impression that the staff had not opened the curtains to avoid us seeing the sticky floor of the pub as it hadn’t been properly cleaned following a party the night before. Sadly an unpleasant experience.

This return visit was the last here. We have always been highly satisfied with Sunday lunch but today was so shockingly disgusting we will not visit again. Meal at 14.00 not particularly late however there was no mash and no cabbage, no explanation or replacement on our plate for this. My pudding was burnt black and the cauliflower cheese had been warmed up several times resulting in it being brown and not edible. We took this up with staff and then the manager who was so out of her depth and did not handle the complaint professionally at all. She was rude and said she would speak to the staff about the lack of informing customers when food isn’t available. When we spoke about the state of the food being served she simply said leave it and walked away. We highlighted the state of the outside area which was littered. Dog farces to the side of the door cig buts overflowing generally didn’t look appealing. She replied well I haven’t done the farces. What an attitude!! What has happened at this pub! Clearly something has changed since our last visit.

We were on a family holiday in Whitby and decided to book a pub meal. We researched many places and chose this one as the menu online seemed to accommodate vegetarians and children. Unfortunately, when we got there, their menu had changed and some of the options we were excited to order were no longer available. Added to this, several of the items on the menu had run out. 80% of us weren't able to order what we wanted. Although there was a sign asking us to not order at the bar and wait for table service, we had to go to the bar of we wanted a drink as no one came to ask us if we wanted one when our glasses were empty. When the food arrived, one of the meals was wrong. A sweet potato and spinach pie had been ordered but it had been knowingly replaced with a quorn mince and onion pie. They seemed to think it was OK to replace a vegan pie with any other vegan pie without letting us know. We refused the meal and did not pay for it. The rest of the food was distinctly average although my little boy did enjoy his meal. I would advise people to look elsewhere if looking for a nice meal in and around Whitby.

Stayed here in February for a couple of nights. Food was cold and sent it back. Took 30 minutes for them to return it. The lasagne was not like any other lasagne i had tasted-revolting. Had stomach ache all evening and felt sick. Garlic mushrooms had no garlic and a bit of salad thrown over the top. The cooked breakfast had the same weird taste to everything. The mushroom was obviously re heated as it was hard. I could not even cut it. The mattress on the bed was awful. We could feel every spring.

Firstly, parking at this property is not ideal - if you have a large car you will struggle. There are about 20 spaces all very tight. Secondly, this is a pubs pub - not a food pub or a restaurant so don't be confused about the atmosphere you are walking into. There are no drinks menus, very limited options, they had ran out of a lot of the menu items and service is very slow. The staff here are friendly and helpful but inexperienced. They are not front of house or waiters, they are bar tenders so don't expect restaurant service. The food here is good pub food but not exceptional by any means. The price point reflects the quality. Clean and warm.

My wife and I moved to sleights about 6 months ago and have visited our local pub several times About 2 weeks ago we visited and had the steak meal deal, 2 courses and a bottle of wine, we had the steak meal and skipped the starter as we fancied a pudding, the meal came and it was beautiful, the steak melted in your mouth and was cooked to perfection I had a sauce as well and it was one of the best steak meals I had We had one desert to share as we were quite full, so the landlady decided to not charge me for one of my beers as we had not had one of the deserts, that was so lovely, she didn’t have to do that, we have always had great meals here and we are booked in this Wednesday and we can’t wait. The land lord and lady are very welcoming and the food is reasonably priced Sometimes you may have to wait a short while if there busy, but all good is obviously cooked fresh so you can allow for this Roll on Wednesday Paul&Claire

Fantastic from start to finish. Been past many times whilst travelling to Whitby. Went in as a family of 3 adults 1 child, given the last available table. Service was friendly. Food took the standard time you’d expect fresh, well prepared food to cook. This isn’t your standard ping-ding chef Mike cooked pub food. One had the ribs which smelt incredible. I had the blue cheese burger which was cooked perfectly and the flavours were balanced. Fish items were fresh tasting and battered amazingly. The food is well put together without being pretentious. All in all a great stop to eat, would like to go back on the next visit. Credit to the staff for dealing with a table of ‘what is’ ‘where is’ ‘why is’. Wine is wet Chinese sauce is Chinese sauce, not much else to it.

Away for a family weekend we noted this pub had good reviews and the online menu looked good. We arrived and we’re shown in to the garden room which was cold. No matter, we were having a family weekend together. The starters on the menu were not available so we had the choice of the items on a blackboard. There were no burgers available. For the starters, most of us ordered the Camembert and I asked for the fish cakes. We were then told there were no fish cakes so no starter for me then. We were then told there was no baguettes left so it would be toast to accompany instead! We waited for ages to be served. The Camembert arrived in bowls and had obviously been shoved in the microwave and blasted. It had boiled over and was a horrible greasy mess. I have never seen anything so unappetising. We were so looking forward to the carvery lunch, as my son said “how wrong can you get a carvery lunch.”Little did we know! The roast beef well done, arrived charred beyond recognition. It was black as the heart of Dracula. The medium roast beef was raw, literally dripping blood! Perhaps appetising to a vampire but not to anyone else. The turkey was pork, when we pointed this out they brought the turkey. However the really scary thing was the ‘Yorkshire puddings’ were raw, the pigs in blankets were red inside and almost warm but not cooked, and all the meat was cold. At this point we began to fear our family weekend was going to turn into a weekend of food poisoning and vomiting. We asked to speak to the manager. On the plus side I could not fault the waiting staff who were friendly and apologetic and explained the ‘chef’ had only been here a week. I don’t know where he learnt to cook, but the day where he learnt about the fundamentals of hygiene and ensuring food is properly cooked he must have been skiving. The manager listened to our concerns and jumped to the offer to call it a day. So we left starving, and called into the local spar to buy Immodium - just in case. If you like living dangerously and dicing with death then please go and try the food at The Plough. If you like hot, tasty we’ll cooked Sunday lunch and value your life avoid the Plough at all costs!

Firstly, a large part of the menu was unavailable, including fries, burgers and some of the starters/sides, which as a vegetarian, limited my choices. Then the food was very poor starting with over cooked/microwaved Camembert (one served in a desert bowl!) with toast as there were also no baguettes left. Next the meat for the Sunday roasts consisted of undercooked beef, cremated beef and raw pork. Considering the very long time it took for the meals to arrive, we were shocked that not one element of the meal was done properly. However the waitresses were, on the whole, very apologetic and friendly as the manager suggested we ‘call time’ comped the whole meal. Will never return.

A pre-arranged extended family meal of 3 generations. Two days later and we are all still talking about how much we enjoyed the meal, the pub , the ambience and the staff. This was an important celebratory meal and although it was a Christmas fare, was exceptional. Starters included, Ham hock terrine, salted beetroot and blue cheese salad, curried parsnip soup and prawn cocktails. The soup just smelled amazing and by all accounts the salad was one of the best ever! You could not ask for more of the Turkey main course, all the trimmings and the pigs in blankets were probably the best ever? I would dare to suggest locally sourced? Desserts were plentiful, Christmas pud, sherry trifle, Black forrest gateaux and cheese board. The table layout looked delightful and there was plenty of room for us all. To everyone at the Plough. Thank you so much for such an enjoyable evening.

Food okay but expected better. Cold upon arrival. Staff messed orders up. No sugar for my coffee, no milk alternative for lactose intolerances. No pudding because they were apparently busy, when one of the reasons we'd gone was because they had vegan cheesecake on the menu, no actual proof this dessert exists. Do not go if you have mobility difficulties, no room for a wheelchair and a long walk to the loo's with a few stairs to negotiate. Don't think I'll be going again.

The reviews say this is a warm and friendly pub, we didn’t experience anything of the sort, but more like the complete opposite! My registered disabled wife attempted to use the toilet before considering use of the bar / food facilities, but she was greeted with complete animosity and told to leave all because she wanted to use the toilet first! We certainly wouldn’t recommend this pub.

The food was outstanding. Very well cooked and flavoursome. The Pork Belly Bites (a personal favourite) were slow cooked overnight and melt in the mouth. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that this pub didn't offer a bar service, but was table service only. This made the initial experience of being directed to sit down by the manageress very businesslike and quite unwelcoming. However, once established at the table, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Nevertheless, I would have no hesitation in recommending The Plough if you are looking for great tasting food with generous portion sizes.

Ham was over cooked and tough, chips heading towards cremated and the salad with meal was brown and not appetising. The waitress asked if it was OK, I told her what was wrong but only replied "oh"and walked off with out plates . Seemed the 3 waitresses where interested in their social life . The Plough came highly recommended but feel disappointed

One star for the lunch, chef had explained we needed to order quickly & one for the young girls that bought it. Owner /manager didn't want us to be there, 15 mins before kitchen closed. Made us feel very unwelcome. When we left..... Empty bar apart from the male owner /manager talking to local couple, which was obvious by the conversation..... He totally ignored us, no goodbye, thankyou, nothing. This pub looks nice from outside by the flowers, but don't be fooled, awful beer garden, not tourist friendly, not reccomnded, one to avoid.

Just good old fashioned Pub Grub is the best way to explain this eating place. Normally you will have to book as they get very full up in the summer months. The staff we found extremely friendly and accommodating. You cannot say more really than not over expensive. and food enjoyable, but not if you are wanting A La Carte.

This establishment puts profit before anything else. Booked table for 7.30pm. Bar area dirty and staff running around like headless chickens. They just try and cram as many people in as possible without a thought for comfort . Menu differed from that online. 40 minute wait for food for a pre Booked table is unforgivable. I simply cannot understand all the 5 star reviews that have been left. To the Manager; stop being sp greedy and manage bookings proportionately, clean the bar area of glasses rather than leaving them stacked so there is no room, train staff to be more customer focused and have a better system in place. Needless to say won't be returning

Amazing is all I can say! We popped in after a trip to Dalby Forest for some tea and the food was delicious, I had the burger and it was great, a generous portion size too. My friends got a few starters for the main to share and they also looked amazing! We saw a few pizzas served to other tables and we were slighting envious we didn’t order one, they looked fantastic! The staff are incredibly friendly, cheerful, and make you feel right at home: the service is unmatched. Definitely recommend a visit if you’re visiting the area. Will be back in a heart beat!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who followed the gents toilet sign and ended up outside looking confused and pained. Staff seemed a little grumpy when we called in, except for a young chap (possibly Polish) who was very helpful and courteous to the guests checking in. I've never seen one person carry as many bags since sherpa Tenzing helped Sir Edmond Hillary up mount Everest.

I recently dined at the White Horse and Griffin, and it was a complete disappointment. My sister-in-law, who dined with me, got her meal at half price after she raised a complaint, but when I did the same, the manager flat-out refused to discount mine. The excuse? Because I had eaten my meal, it was “too late to complain.” This is absolutely ridiculous — as a customer, I should still be able to express dissatisfaction, especially when the meal was so underwhelming. For £24, I was served a chicken leg, half a tomato, and a small potato. What a joke! The portion was tiny, the food was average, and the lack of customer service was downright frustrating. I won’t be returning, and I highly advise others to avoid this place unless you want to be treated unfairly.

We called in unplanned and hadn’t booked. This pub was very busy, that didn’t affect the food standard or service. The menu is classic pub food, done very well, with a good specials board too. Portion sizes are generous we didn’t need dessert. Prices are spot on and good value for money. Kids meals are very good value too We ate there twice, nice people great atmosphere and great service We will be back.
