The Star Inn in Scarborough

Very nice pub good staff great food. Four of us went and were served with drinks first at the bar. We arrived early so just sat in the lounge were called to our dinner table when our time arrived for our meal. Our menus were brought to us and after 5 minutes they came back and took our order food arrived quite quickly and it was superb I cannot fault the pub and would definitely return. Anne Walker

Absolutely fantastic place would recommend to everyone great selection of ales and the food is good too what more could you want from a seaside pub

Our 2nd year eating here on our annual holiday in Filey. Great menu, something to suit everyone. Lovely restaurant area in extension/ conservatory area to rear of bar. Very popular, booking advisable. Steak pudding is amazing and highly recommended, never had one this good anywhere before. Service is brilliant - friendly and attentive without being over the top. Already excited to return for my birthday in July 2025. Well done everyone 👏👏👏

Had a few drinks around Filey called for our last drink in the star and decided to have something to eat ,we choose the lunch menu.what we had was nice and reasonable priced.we would try the dinner menu next time

Nice place for a good pint. No dogs inside though which is a shame.

We (usually 6 of us)go for a meal every fortnight, we have been to The Star several times and have never been disappointed, the staff are always polite, friendly and helpful, the food is cooked freshly, and there is always plenty on your plate, thank you The Star for some great meals out.

We met for a family lunch, we pre-booked and they took our order in advance by WhatsApp which was a very helpful idea and made pre-ordering nice and easy. The pub is nice, its clean well maintained, nice traditional pub. The main dining room is in a conservatory to the rear which was nice and light. The staff were super friendly and made us very welcome. The food was very good. I had the steak and ale pie which I really enjoyed. The lunch menu was mostly pub classics with a couple of options for those on other diets. Everyone enjoyed their food. There are some nice cask ales on in the bar too. If you are driving here be aware its on street parking only and there isn't much of that so allow yourself 10 minutes to find a spot and walk up.

After searching online for somewhere to eat we chose The Star. Food was really good, and served boiling hot. The steak and ale pie was packed full of large tender chunks of meat, and the homemade chips were good. Hubby had chilli, made the proper way, with beef chunks, not mince, and he said it was just right, with a nice kick of heat. For me though, the stem ginger pudding was probably the lightest , fluffiest pudding I've ever had, it was absolutely delicious. Hubby had Sicilian Lemon pudding, and that tasted great aswell. The pub serves a decent selection of real ales, which kept the hubby happy, and the staff were very friendly. All in all, a great experience, and would definitely recommend a visit if you're down that way.

Popped in for a shandy and crab sandwich. Very nice.

Excellent food and service. Gluten free options. There were 6 in our group,which included 2 children and all of us said it was the best pub meal we had ever eaten.

Great place for a good night out

It's OK food wasn't bad, but the lunch time menu hasn't got much to offer.

Good experience,great music. Good place to go. Pity it's not dog friendly 😕

A worthy entry in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide with six cask ales available, all from Yorkshire breweries. I visited at lunchtime and had the small steak & ale pie for £8.95 which was excellent.

This is a great pub, good food and nice staff. I would suggest the kitchen is not organised as well as other food places. Was told we could order food in 45 minutes, when ordering told that there only a certain number of meals that are made and they were sorry but there is no food.

Absolutely fantastic lunch! Visiting Mum in law today who lives just round the corner. Called in for lunch and a pint. The food was fantastic. I had the chicken wrap and Stuart and Maureen had the crab sandwich and prawn sandwich. Everything was really fresh and delicious - and the chips really were home made. Great crowd of people outside everyone really friendly. Would highly recommend. 😋🙏🌟

Lovely venue, great choice, good staff

Sat in the beer garden and most of us had the steak pie, chips and peas. Excellent quality - came with extra gravy without having to ask. Chips homemade - delicious. Steak pie - lovely pastry/lots of meat and so tender! 💯 recommended!!!

The best pub we found in filey.staff are friendly and welcoming and know how to serve a decent guinness. Friday night quiz was great .

Limited menu but nicely prepared and reasonable value. Seating is old pews so hard and a bit crowded. Food pleasant and ample portions

Only had a pint of hand pull bitter but it was great. Just moved back to York so it is years since being in The Star. Will definitely be back. A year later, we're back. Great ale. Must try food next time.

Great real ale but wonderful pub food...seafood starter, beef suet pudding and chunky chilli con carne were faultless!

Great wee pub, initially we were seated in the restaurant but moved back into the bar, meal was ok, beers excellent choice and served well. Pity they haven’t changed the menu on the website as I was really looking forward to the liver which is no longer available, hey ho!

We visited the Star of the weekend whilst on a cycling weekend away. The staff were friendly enough and the drinks were reasonably priced. Watch out of the wine barrel with a slope near the dart board, it sent my full pint flying as soon as I put it down. No dramas other than a quick mop up by the bar staff.

Lynne let's us use the conservatory for our WI meetings. She provided lovely cake and hot drinks for us. I ran a printing workshop there which was great fun. Thanks Lynne

Great food and large selection of drinks

Homemade freshly prepared food that doesn't break the bank. Always call at least once every time we visit Filey. Very nice vegetarian options and very helpful friendly staff. Probably best to book but they'll do their best to accommodate you if you just turn up.

6 of us arrived for some drinks and food,we were told that we couldn't have food as they were to busy as they had two parties coming in later, we had a pint each and left, the business lost out on atleast £100 of business.

Went here for my fiancé's birthday and we were not disappointed. The staff were really friendly and the food was superb. Great value for money and the portions did not disappoint. Will definitely return when we come to Filey again

We went for Sunday Lunch after reading the great reviews. We were surprised when we arrived as it is tucked away in Filey. It looked small inside and we were thinking where will we sit? They have a bright dining area at the back which isn't grand but spotlessly clean. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Best of all was the food. Lovely home cooked food and plenty of it! All 4 of us said we couldn't fault our meals. You could tell it was freshly cooked. 2 of us had the roast and the vegetables were perfect. A sure sign it had not been sitting around. Would recommend.

Warm, welcoming and friendly. Great relaxed atmosphere and great food. Homemade pies and onion rings were fantastic. Can’t recommend enough

Very warm and friendly welcome. Great atmosphere and fantastic food

Been here today for something to eat. Nice food, staff are lovely too Great selection of beers Well worth a visit

Really great Pub, good selection of beers! Only downfall was that he rude obnoxious bar maid, passive aggressive in her attitude, simply because I asked if she was serving! It looked like she was more interested in gossiping than actually working! My advice get rid! She really brings the overall experience of the pub down!

Delicious homemade food, plenty of choice and reasonably priced. All meals were nicely presented and piping hot. Good sized portions ment we were unable to manage a desert. Definitely worth a visit.

Had a fillet steak cooked to perfection and the gammon was lovely.

We were really impressed with this pub. Booked a table on a Sunday, two kids with us (4&2), we sat in a decorated conservatory in the back and it was quiet, food was such good value and Sunday lunch was brilliant. Kids food came fast, decent service, decent beers. Wasn't sure from the outside whether I had made a good choice with having the kids with us but it was absolutely great.

Food excellent went for lunch best crab sandwich with a few chips and salad evening meals spot on good choose staff very friendly

Called yesterday and had food which was absolutely 💯, been before and will DEFINITELY call again ❤️.

Brilliant pub with great food.Very clean,service excellent and the food was spot on.The salt and pepper grinders were filled up so was the vinegar might sound like a stupid thing to comment on,but the little things matter,this is a very well run establishment,definitely going again.

Popped in by chance on last day of our trip and omg what a lovely friendly place with amazing food and good quality beers. I would highly recommend to anybody this place is amazing

Fab pub and food. The crab and lobster starter was delicious. Great steak pie, Hunters Chicken was really tasty. Good beers and gins selection. Has a beer garden at the back. Can sit under shelter at front with dogs.

Nice pub, good drinks selection. Been really busy every time we've popped in.

You can easily underestimate this place in passing. We gave it a try around a year ago, driving into the small rear carpark. It was around teatime on a Sunday, we were lucky i guess, to find it pretty quiet inside upon being seated in the main front part of the pub. Nice, warm welcome, well decored throughout, not too old, not too modern. As two adults with three young children, they accomodated our needs well. Set menu is great. Our food was delicious. Best fish pie. Good selection of ales and drinks from the bar. Really good staff here, chef is the star. Been again since, midday meal, again delicious. Seated this time in the back conservatory part. Another place to be proud of in beautiful Filey.

Love The Star, our local away from our local...Just popped in for drinks.. always a good selection of pumps ..staff are great.. didn't have any food this time around.. still no dogs allowed inside 😞 but decent seating outside 😎👍

Great choice of food, something to suit everyone. Everything cooked fresh to order. Service attentive and friendly but not intrusive. Lovely separate dining room away from main pub.

Absloutley amazing Could not recommend it enough Great specials board too

Food absolutely amazing! Met up with family and had a lovely few hours. Family members were impressed with choice of real ales. Can't wait to come back.

Met up with family and sat outside as they had their dog with them. Ordered two lots of crab sandwiches - absolutely gorgeous! 3 chicken wraps and a soup. Everything was lovely! Everyone was happy with their food. We will definitely return soon!

Nice pint, reasonably priced. Nice sheltered outdoor seating.

The food at The star is beautiful. We ate there two nights out of a 4 night trip. We would definitely return and recommend.

We held Dad's wake here. Lyn, the landlady, took care of everything which made it so much easier for us at such a difficult time. Everyone, without exception, said how superb the food was. The pub was the perfect setting for our get-together with family and friends and much happy reminiscing was done. Thank you so much Lyn for all your efforts on our behalf.

Went in mid week on a windy out of season night for some good old pub grub. We were not disappointed 😎. A pub with some wonderful ales , a great bartender and filling food.

Fabulous food and staff very friendly

Lovely meal we had here, the good good quality the service was fantastic, price reasonable will definitely be back soon

Lovely pub in the heart of filey,great selection of beers,the food is good value for money

Had the best steak I've ever tasted with home made chips

We popped in for lunch and a drink on our way home after a day trip to Filey. What a lovely warm welcome from the staff. I had the fish goujon sandwich with chips and my partner had the chicken and mushroom pie. The food was freshly prepared, piping hot and delicious. The place itself was spotlessly clean. We will definitely be returning customers and highly recommend.

Landlord found us a table even when busy.

Lovely quaint pub. Reasonable priced drinks and a decent atmosphere. Friendly staff. The food was absolutely amazing, surpassed my expectations.

Popped in as stating nearby and very pleased to find great food and atmosphere

Staff went the extra mile to accommodate us when traffic and weather conspired to delay us. Food was great and everyone was very friendly. Definitely recommend

Really good Sunday lunch. Had the nut roast and veggie gravy. Lots of veg and Yorkshire pudding. Good choice of beer. Friendly staff.

Great Sunday dinner, with pint of XB

A welcomed retreat for drinks a pleasant atmosphere and ambience

A nice pub with good atmosphere and very good food. I had the steak and ale pie which was very tasty and my wife had the pulled beef baguette which she said was very nice. Good portion sizes at a good price.

Just had a weekend in Filey,3 meals out including Trip Advisor top call,this was the best,young staff in restaurant were top notch,attentive without overbearing,food very good and drink selection could not be faulted

Took me right back to my mums cooking. Tasty, hot food and plenty of it. An absolute find which will become a fixture on future trips to Filey.

We couldn't fault this wonderful pub and restaurant. The food was of very high quality with generous portions. The steak pie and fish and chips were lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful and the beer was perfect

Came here for food with my partner and little lad. The food was absolutely amazing. I got a steak and ale pie, my partner got chicken and mushroom pie and we both said that they were the best pies we have ever had. I liked that they didn't come out with the food, 2 minutes after ordering. Just beautiful homemade food. Brilliant Ales on tap too!!! . Can't wait for our next trip to Filey. Will definitely stop off here again.

Good food freshly made and a good selection of beers. Recommend the Theakstons bitter. Ask for the electric pump unless you want hand pulled ale, I found it tasted better and kept its head more.

Had the most amazing steak and ale pie here! Food is absolutely fantastic! Children's meal was a really good sized portion as well. Great service, lovely staff. Beautiful pub. There is a restaurant part if you don't want to sit in the bar area, but we sat in the bar area and watched the sports. Great atmosphere. Really lovely. Would definitely recommend it if you're in the area.

A locals local, but friendly enough. Food very good, best fish pie I have had in ages. My wife had the lobster, crab and prawn risotto which was also superb. Great range of real ales to.

Quick visit...atmosphere gorgeous and always welcoming..❤️

Really nice homemade food reasonably priced. Excellent friendly service and pleasant surroundings. Best to book.

We visited The Star on Tuesday 29th August for my mother-in-law's birthday. I was a little apprehensive as we approached as the outside looked more like a pub than a restaurant and we'd wanted something a bit nicer for a birthday meal, but with options for the kids. We ate in the restaurant area at the back of the pub, which wasn't elaborately decorated but had a nautical theme, which is what you want when you visit the seaside and was very clean. The food was delicious! I had the lamb shank which was tender and flavoursome. My husband ordered the sea bass which arrived with 4 huge chilli prawns on, which I also tried, they were so good! And my husband said the seabass itself was equally as tasty. Our party also had the fishpie which was packed full of prawns and fish chunks and the belly pork which was a special of the day. All the food was so tasty, good portion sizes and you could tell it was freshly cooked and cooked well. The food wasn't pretentious but hearty and delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Would definitely go back here again. Never judge a book by its cover!

Our first visit here and a great experience. Been coming to Filey for 16 consecutive years and always on the look out for different places to eat out. Booked at table at The Star after reading good reviews. Nice dining room at rear of pub. Friendly welcome, great service, great food- highly recommend the steak pudding, amazing and very filling! Reasonably priced and all home cooked food. All staff very attentive and will certainly be looking to book here again on next year's holiday. Thank you!

Well here we go for another honest review say it as it is. Sat here having a few drinks, landlady and landlord had a barny at end of bar. Few choice words exchanged, she ordered a drink & didn't pay for it! A lady came in and was told if you have a dog you have to sit outside, fair enough but there are ways to say things. Pick your words carefully before you speak to people & always remember it's nice to be nice, even if you don't mean it especially if you are public facing.

Lovely clean pub. Good beers and wine before our meal. The chef is very good and talented. My chilli king prawn spaghetti was beautiful. Loads of prawns just enough chilli and not over faced with portion size. Steak pudding with home cooked chips was delicious. Well done the staff at the Star, lovely evening.

Lovely pub bar restaurant and outdoor area x

Everything just average Wouldn't rush back but wouldn't avoid either.

What a brilliant night out we had here. IF you want it all come here, the service and staff are so pleasant and happy, which makes for a good night in itself. VERY CLEAN especially the toilets very important especially for the ladies. Thankyou whoever has that task...The food was spot on, had a fillet (rare) and it was, the onion rings were to die for would have had a bucketful if I had known ha ha. leave room for a pudding 🍰 that's all I am saying.. .

Very friendly welcome great ales 🍺 will call again soon 👍

My wife, the dog and me visited today, we had the scampi and the best steak pudding I’ve ever had! We ate in the lovely covered beer garden at the back of the pub, very friendly staff and excellent service, great value for money, I would highly recommend a visit, will definitely be going again next time we’re in Filey, stu and Lin Bailey!

Nice friendly staff, great choices of Beers would recommend will be back on Saturday

Lovely place to have a pint and watch the world go by, proper pub.5*

A lovely friendly welcome, excellent choice of beer, and superb food. The steak pie was the best we’ve had and seafood risotto was delicious. We will be back on our next visit to Filey.

Thumbs up from the 4 of us who was here.

Nice pub, good outside areas too.

Sunday lunch was very good also steak pie was just as good. Nice beer garden and staff are friendly 👌

Staff always friendly and attentive hence always call when in Filey will be back

Amazing food really large portions and great quality.

Found this place by accident, and I'm glad that we did. Home made steak pudding with chips and a gravy so rich in meat juices as to be almost a meal in itself. Washed down with a hand pulled pint of Theakstons. Pure pleasure.

Used to like it here but the barman this week was rude and unpleasant, same guy on two consecutive evenings. Why go there when all the other pubs in Filey are so welcoming?

We stopped in for lunch and a few drinks. The staff were very attentive and catered well for my boy who has an allergy. Wouldn't hesitate to pop in for another visit.

Smug "WE'RE FULL" early in the evening as the place looked deserted was not endearing. Went next door to La Gondola. Very welcoming and lovely food. In answer to The Star's reply we were not so upset about the fact that you couldn't fit us in but by the unfriendly/smug way this information was delivered while we were purchasing drinks.

Stopped in as we know they sell Black Sheep Special. Had some food and OMG the Steak & Ale pie was the best 👌 Will definitely eat here again

Only place to get food in Filey in the week !! Dogs allowed but outside

A friendly town centre pub , with a large beer garden with a BBQ and bar in fine weather - a good selection of real ales , wine and spirits - a good menu of Pub Grub with a selection of fresh fish dishes when available
