Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We always eat here when we go to Scarborough because they are by far the best fish & chips in Scarborough. All the food looks delicious & well presented. The staff are friendly & helpful. We've tried just about all the fish & chip restaurants...in Scarborough & even though this isnt actually one as such, they are way better. I would highly recommend Richard 3rdMore

Delicious Hot chocolate and Cappuccino! The hot chocolate was accompanied by cream and marshmallows - a true tradition to have when a sweet tooth like me!

Very tasty home cooked food, generous portions. I had the roast chicken Sunday dinner and was not disappointed! Smothered in lashings of gravy with a home made Yorkshire pudding, stuffing ball, mash and roast potatoes and veg. Good value in a lovely building right on...the sea front.More

Good old English Pub Grub. Typically lighting not so good and a little cramped. However the food was great and friendly service. Really nice place to hang out and get out of the rain as we reunited and visited with our cousin.

Food was very good, especially the kids meals, extremely nice inside and out but the stand out feature was the staff. Considering it was the end of the summer holidays and I'm sure these people are exhausted and fed up with with holiday makers and...kids, they made us feel like family and like they genuinely enjoyed serving us. Price was great too. We paid more for an inferior meal just a few doors down. Highly recommendedMore

All I wanted was to sit down for a quiet drink, look at the menu and maybe I’d order something to eat if I was impressed. Is this too much to ask for? Especially when the pub was literally empty and there was only 1...other couple eating. However the aggressive pushy waitresses managed to make this far more awkward and difficult than it needs to be. I couldn’t pay the barman at the bar but somehow I could the waitress as she walked over to the bar. And then ruining the customers experience by not giving me the choice of where I want to sit down with my drink, insisting I sit at another table and then tell me 1 minute later that the table I chose to sit at was magically reserved (despite it being early evening and the pubs empty). When I told the waitress I’m now only staying for 1 quick drink, the waitress replied she had to “prepare the table”, I looked around and none of the tables were prepared in any way, they were all empty and clean. Just what did she have to do? It’s the staffs blatant lies, dishonesty and lack of integrity from the minute I walked in to when I inevitably walked out in disbelief, that ruins this place. Fortunately Scarborough is not short of alternative pubs that gladly accepts customers.More
