The best restaurants serving British food in Hertford Scarborough Yorkshire and The Humber

As soon as you step inside your spoilt for choice as the food looks so good. We only had a couple of cakes but they tasted amazing and really wish we had tried more. Maybe next time

Great food and service in a traditional pub. Lovely pint too

Could not recommend this place to anyone enough. It is a total hidden gem in a little village near the sea side. We honestly never get fish and chips at the beach. We always come here after a nice leg stretch and dog walk. The pub is dog friendly and also serve pies for dogs which I just think is amazing! Nevertheless if you’re not a dog lover you’ll be pleased to know there’s an area for people with dogs. I’d say 3/4 of the dining area is not for dogs. I however am a dog lover and take my dog so it’s perfect. There is also a separate restaurant area where no dogs are allowed at all and you get a proper dining experience with a restaurant feel. We however prefer to sit in the pub side. I have to say not sure if it’s the owner or manager or chef but I noticed how every chance he got he was coming out to check how peoples food was as well as the staff and chipping in with collecting glasses ect which you don’t often see from an owner. It just showed a really good team spirit which I thought was so lovely to see. All the staff in fact are so pleasant and lovely. I’ve honestly never ever ever had a bad experience here it’s so consistent and the food is honestly just absolutely to die for. They also offer a lot of gluten free and vegan options too. My favourite pie is a skewbald pie. Highly recommended. I’m currently on holiday dreaming of coming home and getting one of these pies very soon. One of my favourite places to eat ever you just honestly have to try it for yourselves you’ll never be disappointed.

Old style local pub. Friendly landlord and friendly locals. Well worth a visit. Spent a few hours there as early for check-in at holiday cottage. No food served but that suited as time was spent promoting the local vibe.

The meal was dried up, disappointed

Walked into the Swan Humanby for Sunday lunch could have either one two or three corses reasonably priced. We Ordered the beef it took an hour to arrive and was cold the parsnips burnt to a cinder, veg cold and gravy well the smallest jug ever, ordered the sticky toffee pudding, never again. Sorry but not good at all it’s a local friendly pub but doesn’t really cater well for food, need more organised staff.

We had one of the best meals we have ever had at a pub or restaurant. A great gf fish pie for me and a meat packed steak pie for her.

If you like lumpy mashed potato, tasteless veg and watery gravy, you will like this place. I have never seen a more sorry looking carvery in my life.

Always come here really good food . We had takeaway fish and chips and wasn’t impressed. The chips were burnt looked like scraps

Large pub geared to the masses of holiday makers visiting the Filey Bay holiday complex. As a result, it has no real interest in providing a good service based on a variety of products but instead, the captive audience encourages a mediocre bar with a very limited selection of equally mediocre brands - certainly none that I would consider 'premium' quality. As a malt whisky enthusiast, I looked forward to be sampling Filey Bay malt whisky which is distilled almost next door! What an opportunity lost for both the bar and the distillery. The place looks tired, IS tired and it's only saving grace are a few staff who appear to want to serve the customer by giving friendly, efficient service. Deciding to eat there one night we booked in and reserved a table. Returning to eat later, we were taken to our table, handed some menus and left to get on with it. First task - Find a child seat and struggle to get the heavy, awkward item through the tightly spaced tables & seats to where we needed it. When we got it into position, within seconds we were being asked for our drinks order. No chance of real cask ales here so it was a bottle of reasonably priced wine for 3 with other mediocre drinks for the other adults and soft drinks for the children. These were delivered fairly quickly and food ordered from a reasonable menu which had a good range of options. We started with a 3 starters which we intended sharing - McSweens Haggis Bon bons and spring rolls with dumpling. We asked for additional plates to facilitate this but still waiting -,fortunately napkins came to the rescue. The haggis was superb but then McSween products are without doubt top of the lot when it comes haggis. (Think they are trapped, dispatched this life and off to the customer within hours - the freshest you can get them). The spring rolls were equally fresh as we were eating them mid spring meaning they had time to mature. Main courses included 3 cajun burgers, one cheeseburger and one steak pie. My Steak pie was really pretty good , smallish and despite being 'catering food' was full of lean steak rather than the normal mush. Lovely jug of gravy and selection of veg. Those with the Cajun burgers and the kids cheeseburger certainly demolished their platefuls. 3 chocolate muffins with ice cream were ordered and a long wait was encountered. Admittedly the place was filling up by now but after 40 minutes, we were about to cancel when they arrived. 2 were ok but one resembled a chunk of rubber. 3 of us had a try at cutting the lump of dark brown gunge but no way was a knife going through that mass. Taken back and within seconds, a fresh palatable portion was handed over, with no apology. Had the feeling the delay we experienced was them preparing a new batch whilst one solitary piece from an earlier tray was lying under a heat lamp. By this time the place was heaving we left with a Final conclusion that we would eat elsewhere in future. On our final day, we went in for cocktails - or rather sat outdoors. Order taken fairly promptly however after 25 minutes, we had to go make 3 return trips to the bar to be told repeatedly that they would be out shortly. Fourth trip finally ended up with us standing there and doing self delivery - 40 minutes after originally asking for them. Big negative for the Filey Bay complex is the lack of competition - complacency allied to a captive audience gives the results we experienced.

Not the absolutely awful experience others have described, but be warned this is not a proper chippy. Most of the produce is bought in and cooked from frozen including the chips. The sausages also appeared to have been left under the heating lamp for about 12 hours too long. Turning to our meal, it was £26.90 for a fish and chips; sausage and chips; 6 nuggets and curry sauce - that is somewhat on the pricey side even for a half decent chippy. That's before we even review what we actually received. As I mentioned, everything we got was perfectly edible, but nothing is made in house. The fish was quite tasty, but very small. The kids refused to eat the £5.99 nuggets (I managed them so nothing wasted, but terrible value for what you get as they are very much basic frozen nuggets hand tossed into the frier from a blue plastic bag). We did manage to get some freshly cooked sauagages and these were actually perfectly fine. However, as with any chippy, the chips should be the foundation on which it's built - and if these are anything to go by, this place should have crumbled into the sea years ago. Serving frozen chips is a travesty. Having the audacity to charge £4 a pop for them should be criminal. When you consider that the cod and chips combined was £12.98, you'd be better served heading next door to the on site 'spoons and have the fish and chips from there. Yes, it's all still cooked from frozen, but it's a better portion, open later, you get a table to eat it at, and they throw in a pint for just 67p more. Winner winner.
