The Ship Inn in Scarborough

We were staying at Primrose Valley and decided to pop out for Sunday dinner, luckily for us we stumbled upon the Ship. We were instantly made the 3 of us very welcome. The service and food were both great! We will definitely be back next time we are on holiday nearby :)

Called in Sunday and accommodated straight away, food was lovely, service excellent and very homely ....excellent.

Great pub and atmosphere. Good choice of beers and other alcoholic drinks. Staff were all really helpful and polite. The food was outstanding. Very simple pub food menu. The food was well cooked and very tasty. The giant Yorkshire Pudding with mince and chips and vegetables was absolutely delicious and big enough for Desperate Dan to eat. My Companion had the gammon which obviously came from a very large pig. Well worth calling in for food if you are in the area.

Lovely pub with great food and incredible staff!

Had an evening meal for 7 of us plus two dogs. Lovely pub, food was amazing and service was excellent. Very good value for money. Definitely recommended!

We booked for dinner, was welcomed when we walked thru the door. Seated at our table drinks fetched over. We had a starter and a main meal. Goodness me the portion size was very good, so good we couldn't finish our main meal. The quality was great. We were asked if we had had enough, as they didn't want us to leave hungry, that was never going to happen. A great little pub, with lots of interesting things to look at inside.

Had we only stopped for a drink, then I'd be looking at 4 or 5 stars. The welcome and atmosphere were great. Good selection of beer. Staff were very friendly and helpful. However, the food was very disappointing. Which is a shame, as reviews suggest food is good. Maybe we visited on a bad kitchen day. The creamy mushroom starter with baguette: stale bread roll instead of baguette. And the starter could very well be the base sauce for the beef stroganoff. The beef was very tough. The best thing to eat was the frozen chips. Would recommend the pub but not the stroganoff.

Best Sunday lunch I've ever had with the exception of that made by my better half!!

After reading great reviews on the food and the fact we had our dog who was welcomed and fussed. What a gem of a pub. Home cooked food which was the one of the best meals I have had eating out. We were made very welcome and our host managed to get us a table even though they were booked up. If you enjoy tradition home cooked food in a traditional old style pub you've got to give The Ship a try 😉 👍

Absolutely a jewel in Scarborough/filey area crown.. Had probably the best Sunday lunch iv ever eaten..homecooked ..plentiful..delicious..superbly ran with tremendous customer service..definitely be back ..

Staff very friendly and food good first time l have been here for a meal.. no complaints..pub didn't have many customers..no music or noisy which was ok but..there was no atmosphere in there today.. probably just to being a wet day so was quite.. Still recommend 👌 it to people whoike somewhere different for a meal.. was nice to be served Sunday lunch with vegetables separate 😋..

Excellent food. Lovely people. A must visit if your in the filey area

We went last Sunday for Sunday lunch and it was absolutely lovely , would definitely recommend it and the staff were very friendly . Xxxx

What a lovely surprise this was. Read previous reviews. Good food, great landlord etc. Never expected what I found when we walked in. A proper traditional old fashioned country pub. Very impressive collection of history on the walls, Proper food like Granny makes. Braised steak in a giant Yorkshire for example. Landlord couldn’t have done enough, lovely bloke, even got words out my kids which never happens. Beautiful traditional food, was very accommodating for my autistic daughter. I don’t tip people often to be honest but on this occasion i did. If I lived local I’d never be away. I couldn’t recommend this place enough, hidden gem. 💎

Absolutely fantastic food and there is more then enough to eat Absolutely fantastic staff very welcoming will definitely go back

Great little village pub, lovely landlord, landlady and staff. serving wonderful food, stunning Sunday lunch and Yorkshire puds. Great atmosphere, and an Aladdin’s cave of collectors items for all to see adding to the unique experience of our visit. An absolute must visit for anyone going to North East Yorkshire. Looking forward to visiting again soon

Went for Sunday lunch whilst on holiday . Booked ahead of time and as we have a disabled child I enquired about seating. Landlord was super helpful and made sure our needs were met. Which is such a refreshing change. We went for Sunday lunch and were welcomed as soon as we arrived. Meal was super fast and beef was lovely . Empty plates all round and the kids enjoyed their puddings a lot. Def recommend lovely old pub and wonderful people

What an amazing little place, we were treated to lovely fresh home made food in this family run pub, we were wowed by their welcome and attentive service. The portions were huge and amazing value for money. What a find, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely little village pub .👏👏👏👏👏

First time visit, I have to say we were made very welcome. Drinks and food orders taken quickly. It was the best Sunday lunch I've had while out in a long time. Will certainly return. Also dog friendly which helps.

Lovely pub that we stopped in after a day in rain drenched Scarborough. Very cosy and welcoming, lovely homemade food - the stroganoff was delicious!

Came here on the 1st day of our holiday and it was absolutely amazing, food was fantastic and the staff were very welcoming, we decided to go back again on Wednesday night and then again on Friday our last night which we thoroughly enjoyed again and the rice pudding is to die for, thanks for your hospitality

After looking for a place for a meal local to where we were staying for the weekend. " the ship inn" came up on the search, and after reading reviews we gave it a go. COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BETTER !! Great service, HOMECOOKED food was amazing. Not very often it IS actually "Homemade" as stated but here it couldn't be faulted !! ( recommend the pies !!) Not to busy a place , quirky decorated,friendly staff. If your in the area, definitely give them a visit. 😉🍺

Went in today for 1st time with family and seated straight away and must say was a welcoming atmosphere from staff and locals and can say food was amazing and will be back

On holiday and after reading reviews decided to come in and was welcomed straight away and seated and meals were delicious and good size portions and will be back

Been coming here for many years, one of the best Sunday dinners ever. Beautifully home cooked, great price & still currently a very traditional pub with amazing staff/owners

Excellent service! Dropped in on a Sunday while we were staying in the area. We didn't want a full Sunday roast so they offered to make some roast beef rolls and they were very good. Most pubs would not have made the extra effort. If you're in the area make sure you pop in for a drink or food!

A great find that was close to the Haven site we stayed at. We called to make a booking in advance and requested a dog friendly table. A warm welcome and a proper home cooked Sunday lunch, the Yorkshire puddings were amazing! Had a choice of turkey, pork or beef. Roast and new potatoes. Vegetables were carrots and savoy cabbage. Extra gravy was offered as well. Staff very friendly and helpful. We had to have puddings - sticky toffee for me and salted caramel for my husband. Less than £40 including two drinks. We will definitely return during our trip. The eclectic decor is a sight to see as well!

We enjoyed two nights at this pub. We were very welcomed on both days by the Landlord. The hand pulled beer was great and so was the food. The portion sizes are large and all the food is homemade and very tasty. We will return!

This is a great little pub we bowled up on Sunday lunch without a booking. With the help of a lovely couple leaving, we were fitted in. We had a beautiful, proper Sunday dinner. We went back mid week and had another great meal. The hosts are really friendly and welcoming. If your in the area, I advise you to visit.

Found this little place after searching Trip Advisor and have to agree with all the great reviews. Great home cooked food that was fresh and hot but came out super quick. Staff are welcoming and helpful, and nothing is too much trouble. Happily offered extra gravy and sauces. You walk in and feel like you have stepped back in time at least 50 years! Would definitely recommend.

Excellent family friendly restaurant

Top Sunday dinner, excellent food, very attentive friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.

Stumbled upon this lovely pub on a Sunday afternoon jaunt to Filey. Sign outside said Sunday Lunch and we decided to see if there was a free table. What a fantastic decision. Lovely, warm welcome from the owner. They squeezed us in to the bar area, as the rest of the tables were booked. No problem at all. The Sunday lunch was amazing, fantastic quality and loads to eat. And great value! Staggered out completely satisfied - the best Sunday lunch we'd had in 20 years. Completely recommend this fantastic establishment. But - make sure you book, we were lucky as later arrivals were turned away. Thanks again!

Warm and welcoming with good home cooked food

We stumbled across The Ship Inn on our trip away to Filey and I am so glad that we did. We went for Sunday lunch, at first I was a little nervous that we were walking into a ‘locals’ pub, which it definitely is but the most inviting & welcoming local pub I have ever been to. I’m not sure if the man who welcomed & served us was the owner but he was so lovely & accommodating and great with our little girl. The food was lovely & everything just had a really homely feel. I would highly recommend & we will definitely return on our next trip!

What pubs used to be like, atmospheric, unique, a place to sip a local ale and talk to a friendly barman, the place just feels right. Don’t go expecting the crisp boutique designer bar, do go for an honest down to earth pint and wholesome food. Our Sunday roast was great, beef, gravy, vegetables and puds to die for and the deserts looked every bit as good (we were stuffed). In the nicest way possible we could have been in the 60s, 70s, or 80s a real trip down memory lane and all the better for it. If you’re in the area you really should give this little place a visit.

Team Ship once again you didn’t disappoint. When we are staying in Filey we always make a point of visiting this little Gem of a pub. Saturday it was steak pie for me then Sunday the best roast dinner I’ve ever had. This is a family run pub and they know how to look after you. The people that run this pub are super friendly and know their stuff. Big thanks to all of the team keep up the great work. If you want a super friendly atmosphere with a side of banter and fabulous food then drop in on your travels.

Dreaming of holidays today, so i am finally writing a review thats been on my list 11 months! . We stayed at Mouse cottage on the row last May 2023 as a couple and our little dog. We took a risk as only the pub in the village and we do like a pub in walking distance. We did not regret it. The pub is a proper traditional pub with lots of bits and bobs to look at. From the moment we landed on the Thursday we were greeted by landlords son-in law Paul. Himself and lady Linda were so friendly, welcoming and warm. Its very dog friendly too. They worked their socks off as their other halves were both out of action at that time. The locals were fantastic, what a community they have there :) we enjoyed it that much we did the quiz night(terribly) and the night with a singer on. We also made sure we popped in to say tarrah on the last night. The food looked fantastic and they are famous for their Sunday lunches, but they were already booked up as we would have loved one of those. We hope to return again in the future. Highly recommend

We visited the ship Inn today for a Sunday roast we absolutely loved it the food was fresh and very well cooked and the atmosphere and staff were amazing a lovely quirky little pub we were visiting from down south and it really made our weekend finding such a unique friendly little pub well worth a visit

Very friendly staff. Food was very nice, freshly cooked Chips were REAL Chips not frozen ones Stek pie was full to top with meat. All in all a great place to eat

Lovely little pub in lovely little village, service exceptional, food was fantastic, nice selection of ales.

A lovely little old world charmed pub with various antique trinkets such as copper pots, post boxes, butter churns, and general bric à brac adorning the walls, shelves, and ceilings. Food is seved at certain times, but I can't give much info on that, as I was only visiting early on a bank holiday Monday. Only 1 real ale on offer at the time. But there are plenty of keg beers. Mainly a one roomed pub, but divided areas, and a single bar.

What a fantastic, friendly family orientated pub! The atmosphere was lovely and welcoming and the food was fantastic! Small menu but every dish cooked from scratch and totally delicious. Seven of us with a 4 year old and they knew exactly how to keep him happy. His food came first and at the right temperature. Obviously they understand children. Madri was a lovely pint and wine good too. Highly recommend.

Lovely pub to visit. Great decorations and atmosphere, really good food, staff friendly and polite. Great holiday experience. We definitely recommend it.

Good Sunday Roast! Friendly owners and locals made us feel very welcome.

We were staying in the village for a long weekend with friends and decided to have Sunday lunch at the Ship Inn having popped in for a drink on the Friday. We were made instantly welcome on arrival and they took really good care of us making sure we had everything we needed for Sunday lunch including extra horseradish and gravy. The portions were generous and the meat was very good quality. Everything was cooked really nicely. The landlord even took the time to find out if we'd enjoyed the weekend. I would recommend anyone to pop in and enjoy the food and friendly welcome.

We stayed in the village and called in for a meal on Saturday. Went again for Sunday lunch. If they hadn't been closed on Monday, we would have gone back. Food was great and beer good too. People very friendly. When we return to the village we will come to eat and drink here again

Absolutely fantastic Sunday dinner, the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. Dog friendly too which was a bonus. Will definitely be going back.

We were staying at a local caravan park and decided to come for tea, definitely not a place to come if you have children, lots of trinkets everywhere in reach, also had a bit of a run in with someone who was either a local or part of the pub, he made a comment about one of my children and its only when my husband gave him a stern look he laughed it off and left us alone, left us feeling really uncomfortable, you get the feeling if you're not a local you're not welcome. Glad we don't live close enough for it to become ours.

Amazing home cooked Sunday dinner it was really nice and owns are very nice too made us feel very welcome despite one of our group being rude and fussy they went out of there way and did her chips.

There was 8 of us all Women and we went for Sunday Lunch. The staff were very attentive and service was excellent would definitely recommend as nothing was too much trouble. Although one of the women in the group was very rude the staff still accommodated her by cooking her a plate of chips when the kitchen was busy with Sunday lunches.

This is a gem of a find, a family run traditional pub offering fab home cooked food. The owners / staff can't do enough for you and are incredibly engaging, chatting away to us the entire visit. Lovely!

A fabulous, very traditional family run pub, Sunday lunch is just wonderful and the staff / owners couldn't do enough for us. If you are in the area this is a gem

Went with friends for Sunday lunch. Everything cooked to perfection and piping hot. Didn't really want a sweet until we saw 'nickys sticky toffee pudding' on the menu. Well, what can I say but wow! It is one of our friends favourite dessert and she said it was the best she'd ever tasted. Well done team ship!

Lovely proper local pub - food is amazing home cooked proper pub food. Nothing fancy but all freshly cooked and so very tasty. Highly recommend.

Great local pub. Good Food and friendly owners and staff. Highly recommended

Well what a lovely, homeley, friendly pub. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to end our lovely New Year break in Filey. The staff, food and atmosphere was one not to be missed. Our meals were all outstanding! Gutted to have missed out on dessert as they all sounded amazing! Would highly recommend a trip to the Ship Inn. Once again a thank you to all the staff the a amazing meal! Absolutely faultless!

Had a quick couple of pints here (East Coast IPA). Wonderfully OTT Christmas decorations amongst lots of memorabilia. Didn't have any food but quite a few folk were.

What a great pub, friendly and helpful, beer excellent, good choice. Didn't eat at the pub, but meals looked good, and no one complained about it, only complements. Visited 5 times in the week.

Staying nearby lovely warm welcome by locals and landlord,great traditional pub ,great food and drink all reasonable prices.

This is our second time visiting this pub, the food is really good, great atmosphere, we took our 4 month old puppy very dog friendly. Staff and service were very good, we had a great time and a great experience.

So friendly and welcoming. Good choice of drinks. Food fresh, home cooked and delicious. Great little find. Will definitely be back!

Good food good service beer good very good all-round will go again😀

We had a great time at the Ship Inn lovely people and first class service with fantastic food and generous helpings .

Had our Sunday lunch in this collectors paradise. Can’t fault the food. Absolutely delicious. Staff on duty were do friendly and polite. The contents within pub make for a lovely experience. Don’t change anything. It’s well worth the visit and if you like great beer the landlady keeps a great pint

Just had a drink friendly staff and locals a classic old fashioned pub

We visited the characterful Ship for the first time last night: What a brilliant time we had, from feeling so welcome from all the family who work hard to make this real, genuine, Yorkshire pub what it is, to the fabulous homemade food( chicken curry and beef stroganoff, finishing with rhubarb crumble). The beers looked great also, will sample them next time when we go for Sunday lunch.

Been coming here for yes, fantastic meals and company

Great atmosphere, service and food. Awesome local style pub, really enjoyed our meal here.

Only stumbled upon this wonderful little place due to the main road been closed. What a find, Staff so friendly, locals the same. The food was so delicious and plentiful, and most excellent beers to boot. To give it 5 stars seems not enough. Update we was so impressed that we went back 2 more evenings, which I must stress was just as excellent.

Absolutely fabulous, old pub charm matched by the charming management, staff and the food and ales are truly fantastic. Not from the area but can't wait to return. Bet its even cosier in winter with the fire going. What a great place to be.

Good local pub - food good quality and generous portions - recommended

Glad we found this lovely old Pub. Friendly & welcoming, excellent service, delicious home cooked food, the chips were perfect, friendly locals, great to find somewhere that’s dog friendly & does gluten free options.

Einst der besten und gemütlichens Pup in England. Die Küche und der Service überragend.

Great pub, wonderful Sunday lunch

Pleasant pub, good service, well cooked meals and good beer.

Lovely Sunday lunch, fresh and delicious. Desserts homemade and also delicious. Really friendly service and atmosphere. Very dog friendly. Pub is quirky and untouched by time, which we loved.

Called for Sunday Lunch without booking, friendly staff managed to fit four of us and a dog in even though they were rather busy. Food was excellent all home cooked and good portions, the sticky toffee pud was allso to die for. It was served promptly and very reasonably priced. Will defo be returning. Keep up the good work.

Lovely pub. Friendly helpful staff.

Called in on the off chance for Sunday lunch. Was very pleasant surprise. Give it a go

Excellent food, good portions and proper home cooked food. The owner & chef couldn't eat more friendlier. We've booked again for Saturday

No coffee. I asked for a coffee and was told no coffee!

Lovely place and excellent Sunday dinners.

Lovely friendly local with tasty food two doors down from our holiday home. What's not to like?

Really nice traditional village pub and a cracking pint as well

Great pub. Lovely homemade traditional pub food, friendly owners and a lovely atmosphere for locals and visitors.

Very good food nice and clean, shame the bar staff didn't know how to pull a pint

Proper Sunday dinner in a proper pub

Brilliant food, service and ambiance.

Had a amazing meal here today,was made to feel very welcome and staff were so friendly and atmosphere was lovely and even bigger bonus being dog friendly,

An unusual pub interior with plenty to look at.

Great little pub .excellent food.

Someone took their eye off the ball...but would anyone with a business reputation let something like this leave the kitchen?? 🤣🤣🤣. The filling was nice, to be fair...but that's not the point, is it!?

Fantastic little pub excellent food a must visit if in Filey Great landlady very friendly.

They found us a table for three plus our dog. Food was lovely, chips amazing old style. Lasagne nice but didn't have pasta in it? Just mince & melted cheese, but our Son ate it & said it was nice.
