Wilson Arms in Scarborough

Great food and service. Sunday roast highly recommended .

We stayed here for goth weekend this is the second time we've stayed and was not let down Dy the service or the staff the food as always was to a very high standard. The room we stayed in was as expected very clean we only had one complaint but that new about the hole in the wall . All in all a very good place to spend the weekend

Lovely meal, great service and friendly atmosphere. I would recommend this for pub for a meal. The desert was amazing.

We stayed at the Wilson Arms, and dined there on 2 of the nights we stayed. The evening restaurant & bar staff were all really pleasant and friendly. One evening we ordered the steak and ale pie, and the strips of rump topped with peppercorn sauce. The steak and ale pie tasted really good, the meat was tender and plenty of it, the sauce was thick and tasty, and was one of the nicest steak and ale pies i've had. The strips of rump was a good sized portion, thick and nicely cooked. The peppercorn sauce though very disappointing. It was not very peppery. The sauce was too creamy and a bit sweet when it should have been peppery. It was made worse by the fact all the strips were covered in the sauce. It wouldn't be to bad if the sauce was a good peppercorn sauce, but the sauce we got ruined the strips of rump. The chips were nice, but the side of vegetables were bland, no seasoning, and just either boiled or steamed and served. Apple crumble was hit and miss. The apple and sauce was tasty, but the crumble just wanted very crumble crunch. Very dry and powdery. Next night, they had already ran out of food items like the lamb, fish and other items despite us dining when the restaurant opened, so hadn't stocked up before opening time on that night. Shame as we really wanted to give the lamb a try. We ended up having the steak and the burgers. Steak was nicely cooked again, as was the burger. Onions rings were pretty greasy, and despite a large batter coating, the onion inside was quite small. On the whole the food was good, but let down by certain items which ruined part of some of the meals we had.

This is our favourite place for our annual reunion. Handy for walks and visiting Whitby. All the rooms are comfortable with new en-suite facilities, a good breakfast is included and the bar food offers a great choice washed down with a selection of local beers. Oh, and the pub is dog friendly too.

Lovely little pub with great friendly staff. Just a one night stay with friends but could easily stay here for 3 or 4 nights to visit the local area and sites. Rooms are comfortable and clean and our room had a beautiful view down the valley of Whitby and the Abbey. We had a meal in the evening and breakfast next morning and both were top notch. Will be revisiting.

We have gone here for a few years and always had good food and service but this time we waited over 1 hour for our food as 2 tables that came after us were served. Chips were greasy and scampi was awful. Shame but won't rush back ! ☹️

We stayed nearby and went for 2 meals, both were very good as was the service.

We came in as an extended family ranging from 5 to 75. The menu covered all the bases we required from a country pub. It's obviously been recently refurbished and it has been done very tastefully. The food was excellent (steak, scampi, sea bass, lamb chops, cheese burgers). Most importantly for me, I presented my son's complex allergy requirements and they were both completely understanding and comprehensive in how they would cater for it. It was wholly reassuring and he loved the fish they prepared for him. Superb service.

Great place, great food and drinks and staff too,

It wasn't clear why the wifi password was a secret. It wasn't in the bedroom, and I had to ask the barman. It was pinned up behind the bar, written on the back of a small business card. 🤷🏼‍♀️ The breakfast waitress is perhaps not best suited to hospitality. Having no printed breakfast menu didn't help, and neither did the waitress. Nonetheless, the rooms are delightful, clean and comfortable and the ensuite is modern and well appointed. Very close to busy Whitby, it's a lovely hotel, despite a couple of problems that can be easily fixed.

We went camping and the heavens opened, luckily this pub was nearby. The food was great and the staff were friendly

Had sunday lunch very nice due to being on in years opted for the small dinner just wright lovely food will call again

Great dog friendly pub, great food and very reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit.

Very nice food and freindly staff.

Went for Sunday lunch, it was absolutely gorgeous and plenty if it. Couldn't resist the apple and cinnamon crumble 😘. Overall beautiful place x

Booked a twin and 2 doubles which were spotless and beautiful. Nothing was a bother for the lovely ,friendly and helpful staff. We had an evening meal and breakfast, everything was absolutely gorgeous, fresh and piping hot! 10 minutes drive to Whitby, perfect little find, would definitely recommend and will be back!!

Harley Davidson riders club GB. Well done Wilson arms,catered for 12 bikers on Friday night , hadn't booked. Service was excellent and food was excellent 👌 Saturday night booked table for 17 ended up being 20. As usual excellent service and food Fantastic. Staff were very professional and friendly,the young staff did really well keeping us informed about food coming and very polite. Saturday nights food excellent. Thank you Wilson arms

Popped into the Wilson arms during a walk for a drink and to rest our legs, staff very friendly and drinks reasonably priced.

Fantastic stay. Fair price and the rooms were very modern and comfortable. Food and beer was fantastic too. Short drive from Whitby town centre. Highly recommend!

Visited on a Sunday A lovely little pub. We got there early enough to get a table to eat around 12.30 within half hour it was busy. Recommend booking if going. Ample sized well presented delicious food. Service was second to non. Young lads waiting on were so polite. Barman very friendly and chatty. Makes a wonderful change from some places I have visited. Thank you

Stayed here for a single night. This place is a dream come true, the decor was fantastic, the evening meal and breakfast were a delight, the price was well below what we were expecting. The double room we had was spotless, airy and just a comfort to be in. The shower and washing facilities were spacious. Tea & coffee facilities in the room. The staff were a credit, polite, respectful and helpful. I’m sorry this was just for a single night, a little gem. It won’t be the only time we use this place when visiting Whitby.

Weekend Stay and what a little gem this turned out to be. Lovely comfortable and well appointed room, staff are friendly relaxed and helpful. We had our evening meal there and thoroughly enjoyed it. Pet friendly too so our puppa was welcome and she recommends it too 🐾

Really enjoyed my overnight stay. Food in the bar was good along with some draught ale. Breakfast was excellent and the room (#4) was very nice and clean with a distant view to Whitby Abbey. Thought it was excellent value and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

What a hidden gem found this place on google for a nice meal first time we went it was Sunday roast wow amazing service and amazing food. We returned a second time for birthday meal a month later and the steak was the best I had tasted all fresh ingredients outstanding. The waiting staff were very attentive the manager should be proud to have such a good team me and the family will definitely return.

Really nice pub B&B, room was spacious and recently refurbished to a good standard. Bathroom was large with a nice walk in shower, again done to a really good standard. The food downstairs was amazing, cooked really well with generous portions. We had the lamb/chicken balti double Stilton burger as well as a few of the starters and desserts over the course of our stay and everything we had was great. Staff are brilliant, location is great with plenty of off road parking. Also, plenty of places to go within very short drives.

Very nice rooms, excellent food and friendly service

Just had a lovely sunday lunch at wilson arms , plenty to eat , lovely cooked veg...oh n have a pudding sponge is light as a feather Staff were lovely too Thumbs up 👍

Family Sunday Lunch for 10 people. The food was excellent, the dining room spacious and comfortably warm. Definitely recommend booking as we were there relatively early and it was already filling up. Staff were polite and friendly but not intrusive. Excellent value for money too.

I really liked this place. York brewery beers, nice wood fired stove and good food in a family run way. Didn't stay here so no view on rooms. Only criticism is that chef had kept the oil too long and you could taste it.

Tasty Sunday lunch competitively priced. All home made no frozen items . Choice of beef, pork, lamb, chicken . Not huge portions but enough food - two roasts pots , two Yorkshire puddings, mash veg. Pleasant dining room and bar .

New years eve, very busy but Arnie behind the bar by his self coped very well, food was brilliant and the room was very modern and clean , dog friendly too ! Loved our stay there would definately go back again

We booked this table around a month ago for 4 friends celebrating a December birthday. When we arrived the young guy at the bar completely ignored us while he saw to another customer, didn't acknowledge us at all. Then we were told to sit where we wanted and asked what we wanted to drink. We got our drinks and went and found a table. We realised we had the normal food menu, when we went and asked about the Christmas menu we expected we were told this was pre order only (we weren't told this when we booked the table). We ordered from the normal menu, service was very slow and very unpolished. Lovely girls, just lacked training. Our food was ok, my friend sent her naan bread back because it was raw but this was changed for her. We sat and waited a fair while for our table to be cleared before we went back to the bar to order desserts. I ordered the fruit crumble which was very disappointing as was varying degrees of temperature around the bowl. Abit off putting. The others all had the crunchy cheesecake, which had nothing crunchy about it and didn't seem fresh. The music in the room we were sat in was terrible, not the lovely Christmas music playing in the bar. It was awful dance music throughout. Overall, really quite disappointed. We were all looking forward to this night but all left a little deflated.

We had Sunday lunch here. Excellent in all respects, we'll definitely be going back.

An absolute jem of a pub. Situated in an excellent spot for exploring the area. Lovely staff, lovely couple who own it. Extremely clean room's. Excellent restaurant, food is amazing. The best jam sponge and custard you will ever taste and if you're lucky you might even bump into a TV star 🌟

Super friendly staff!!! Especially the Batman!!! Lively music and a welcoming atmosphere - would recommend ANYONE to go here. Such a lovely efficient well run business and the decor and service is out of this world. Cannot recommend them enough!! This place has my heart ❤️

Beautiful village pub all refitted recently, great place to stay, the hosts are very welcoming and the food is amazing..and very reasonably priced too

Fantastic stay, a very warm welcome on arrival. Great accommodation with lovely food made with quality produce and plenty of it at very reasonable prices.

Only stayed here because The Plough in Sleights had shut down. This place is so much better than the Plough. Great room with lots of space, big shower allowing you to move in all directions without banging into walls . The owners and staff are extremely friendly but the clincher was the food . Cooked to perfection at dinner and breakfast. Will hopefully stay again.

Had a few visits here over the last week. Been very well looked after by the staff. The food was fantastic. Very good food, very generous portions and very reasonably priced. Was really handy for us staying at nearby campsite. However, only a short trip out from Whitby too. Will definitely come back

Fantastic friendly pub great food and great staff

The best lamb chops I've had in a long time! Superb food and very ample portions! Really friendly place and very dog friendly. You do need to book as, not surprisingly, they are very busy. But not at all cramped. Absolutely recommend!

Really nice, brand new dining room, went for Sunday lunch all freshly cooked food, fresh vegs, really pleasant staff, good service. Would definitely go back

We didn't stay in the rooms but ate in the pub twice. The food was absolutely gorgeous and great value. They're portion sizes were big and the food was cooked to perfection.

It's in a quiet spot with parking. Rooms are comfortable and tastefully decorated. Great breakfast. Got settled in my room and went downstairs for a pint and met up with other holiday makers and had a good evening. Highly recommend the hotel.

We had a meal.here.on Thursday the 10th.Aug and it was lovely. Not only did it taste fantastic ( I had the parno chicken) but there was masses of it and loads of veggies and chips. The server was lovely and friendly. I would recommend that people make the short journey out of Whitby to eat here because it will be delicious

Delicious food, lovely setting. Small bar and restaurant and limited menu but don't let that out you off. The food was fantastic and the portions are so big, half the dinner comes on another plate.

Lovely, clean and well decorated pub/restaurant. Friendly service, great wine and beer and amazing food! My husband had the Whitby cod, which was enormous. Chips were to die for. A few veggie/vegan options. I had the veggie curry, which was tasty and plentiful but a bit too hot!

Had the cod! Delicious. Stayed overnight and had the full breakfast. Equally delicious! Canny staff, clean and comfortable.

The decor had a country vibe but was modern, which made it cozy. The food was good and the chips were amazing, they were real homemade chips! The service was quick, considering we were a bigger table. Would defo come back.

Stayed at nearby campsite and found this gem of a pub serving good, honest home cooked food. Had an evening meal and Sunday lunch both of which were really good. Friendly welcome, efficient service and lovely food. Would recommend it to anyone. Definitely need to book for Sunday lunch it’s really busy and you can see why. My husband and I both had the lamb which was perfectly cooked.

Had a meal here on Friday 16th June 2023 highly recommended 10 stars 🌟 the meal was excellent plenty to eat service ver quick staff very welcoming and friendly lovely atmosphere in pub really enjoyed my coffee it was beautiful. Will definitely come again thank you

We had a family Sunday meal whilst holidaying in the area. Beautiful premises with lovely welcoming staff (top mention to the lad behind the bar!!). The food was gorgeous. All fresh produce and the beef just melted! The puddings were awesome as well! All reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend. We couldn’t fault a thing!!

Staying near Robin Hoods Bay for the weekend to see friends. We went for Sunday lunch, our first time but friends have been before. My husband is on a quite restricted diet so we made certain requests for his meal. Everything was perfect and no trouble at all for the waiting staff or chef. The food was excellent, I had lamb and my husband had chicken. I followed this with the syrup sponge and custard. It was, without doubt, the best Sunday lunch we have had. We stayed after lunch for a couple of drinks as we were enjoying our afternoon. Compliments to all the staff for their friendliness and helpfulness and to the chef for the fabulous food. We will definitely be back when we are next in Whitby

We had Sunday lunch with friends,I had roast beef and lamb with fresh vegetables,good homemade Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and plenty of gravy,followed by homage treacle sponge and ice-cream, excellent food at a excellent pub.

Had the big cod and chips which were excellent.Cosy atmosphere with log burning stove.Friendly staff.

WOW. Everything was excellent. The room (6) well decorated spotless and the views of Whitby abbey brill particularly at sunset. The food very plentiful well presented and very tasty. Reasonable prices and very friendly staff. Will be returning.

We went for bed and breakfast, although the room was very clean , when met the hospitality was very poor throughout our stay . They didn’t make you feel welcome at all , after a long drive we arrived at 1400 , wanted a drink...

Lovely quaint country pub serving pub grub. Dog friendly. Reasonable prices and friendly staff. We were in a little off shot dining area which lacked atmosphere and a little cramped with our big dog but the food was good.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food we had at this lovely little restaurant. Came with friends on our last day of holiday and it was the perfect end to our trip. The portions are extremely generous and the atmosphere is lovely, we look forward to coming again next time we visit Whitby!

There is absolutely hand on heart nothing i can find fault with here. Food, surroundings, rooms, staff - all are wonderful. Stayed under CV restrictions, although you couldn't tell. Two nights in (out of three) and had already decided to return. Ate in every night, hadn't planned to, such good value meals with plenty of choice and huge portions. Local Whitby brewery ale on top - recommended.

Stayed here for the 2nd time, didn’t disappoint! The room (6) is immaculately clean and well decorated and furnished, views of Whitby abbey and the sea. So peaceful and quiet, the food in the evening was plentiful and delicious and then breakfast was the same. Can’t wait to return soon this place is a hidden gem. Thanks for a great stay

Found this on line while searching for places around whitby. Phoned to reserve a table just in case, Dawn kindly emailed me a menu, which I believe had been reduced during Covid 19. On arrival was greeted by friendly staff and shown to our table. Covid measures in place. It was a Monday evening so not too busy. I had the Chicken in peppercorn sauce,new potatoes carrots, broccoli and swede. My wife had the cod and asked for new potatoes instead of the chips which was done. Both meals were delicious, obviously freshly cooked. Definitely worth another visit on our next trip to Whitby.

Great pub and accommodation with a superb breakfast. Really welcoming family. Stayed two nights and will definitely go back. Easy access to Whitby centre which is just 3 miles away. Dog friendly. Definitely recommend.

We stayed in Sneaton with our friends and we were so pleased to find this little pub. The owners gave us a warm welcome and we felt safe as the pub environment was very clean and tables well spaced out. The beer was wonderful but the meals excelled! We had the best Sunday roast we have ever had in any restaurant so far. Real homemade Yorkshire Puddings and the meat melted in our mouths. Plenty of it and hot. The puddings were great too, with local ice-cream from the farm up the road too. Book a table so you don't miss out!

We stayed 2 nights..walked into whitby thru woodlands and the ols railway line...amazing views and scenery..booked table on the first night for dinner and had the best meal we've had in a long time..my steak was better than miller and Carter's!!! Both mornings had full breakfast which was delicious..and accommodating if you wanted alternatives....the rooms were beautiful and cosy....we will definitely be back.

We recently stayed at the campsite next door and were lucky enough to get a table on their re-opening night. Prior to this I believe they had been doing takeaway meals. They had implemented social distances and spaced table out as required. I know this is a learning curve for everybody but I think the staff were doing a great job. The meal and service were excellent. Thank you for re-opening.

Our son and his partner took my self and my wife other wise we would never have found this pub , A hidden treasure beautiful meals and well kept largers . Well skilled staff would highly recommend the Wilson arms and look forward to returning

drove past a few times and noticed the pub advertised just off the main road , so today we finally made it there for a lamb roast dinner for me and my partner the food was lovely , very reasonbly priced and very good portion size , would definately recommend this place ......

We had a delicious evening meal here, two beautiful roaring fires to really make the place so very cosy and welcoming.

Great little place this for a night out in whitby, lovely rooms, great food, good beer and great hosts. Location is about £8 in a taxi away from centre. Price was excellent value for money all round.

We stayed in Sneaton hall and saw this advertised so popped along for a quick visit. Brilliant food, very good Gluten Free options for my wife. Exceptional company offered from the hosts. Definitely worth visiting and will return!

We all stayed one night bed and breakfast family of 10. Immaculately clean,Breakfast Brilliant and served hot Very friendly waitress everything done with a smile and very friendly Would recommend to any one star
