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.

Well worth waiting for (or booking) a table

Jun 2022 • couples

We were fortunate enough to get the last available table in this small cafe and diner and were warmly greeted by Malcolm (co-owner with his better half). The selection of food is just about perfect for the size of the establishment and service from Malcolm was accompanied by friendly banter which is probably why at least half of the tables were occupied by regular locals. Clearly the other reason why locals use the establishment is due to the quality of the food and excellent value for money. We will definitely try to gain entry again during our long weekend break in the area.

Best breakfast in Filey

Aug 2020 • family

Went to Filey for breakfast, tried a couple of cafes but none serving full English breakfast, found The Pines. The menu said serving breakdowns until 11.30am the time was 11.50 so we thought we had missed it however Malcom greeted us at the door and asked if we wanted a table. I said we wanted breakfast but looks like we’ve missed it, he enquired with the chef if they would be willing to cook us 4 and they agreed. So we were seated with Covid-19 guidelines-2 to a table with screens and hand sanitizer plus signing in for track and trace. The breakfasts arrived and were cooked perfect. Very nice jovial and informative host-Malcolm I believe. Cannot recommend enough and will definitely be regulars. Compliments to Margaret and Malcolm

Lovely cafe

Sept 2020 • none

Popped into The Pines cafe for a snack lunch and were delighted with the atmosphere and friendliness of this little gem in Filey. I would highly recommend this cafe which is very reasonably priced and the food is delicious. Will certainly call again when next in Filey.

Delicious breakfast and really friendly welcome.

Jul 2022 • none

Visited for breakfast and a cup of tea. Made to feel very welcome on arrival, this is a gem of a cafe and you will not be disappointed. My partner and I both enjoyed a delicious freshly cooked full English breakfast (sensibility priced and very tasty). Clean little cafe, with the right amount of choice of foods, we will definitely visit again when we are next in Filey.

A lucky find just off the Main Road

Aug 2021 • couples

With my wife we planned on breakfast in Filey on a Saturday morning. We tried 3 places with no luck, and had decided to head back home. Cutting through a side street we came across The Pines and thought one last place to try. So glad we did the owners are lovely and treated us as old friends. The breakfast was great fresh cooked and arrived hot and well presented. Coffee and Tea very nice. We were given a map of Filey with high tide times, useful if you plan to walk along the Brigg. I know next time it will be our 1st port of call. Customers who came in were all treated like friends and I noticed all were greated by name.

Gem of a cafe

Jan 2022 • couples

Visited with my husband 12th January . Service 1st class and welcoming and as safe as I’ve seen any cafe with individual Perspex screens and sanitizers . The menu is varied , traditional and prices exemplary , representing excellent value . We both sampled the home made pies , chicken and ham and Turkey and leek . The pastry was typical West Yorkshire suet crust pastry which was a delight (memories of my mums cooking ) . Portion size plentiful and served with either new potatoes in skins or chips plus carrots and peas and lashings of gravy . The food was piping hot which you so rarely experience these days and is a MUST for me . Puddings are again traditional and we sampled treacle sponge and apple crumble served with plentiful custard . This is traditional old style English cooking at its best . Well worth a visit .

Nice place, nice food

Mar 2023 • couples

We visited here on our way home from Scarborough. It’s a friendly place with a lot of locals visiting. The host Malcolm couldn’t be more welcoming and helpful. We chose soup and apple pie with ice cream, all served quickly and efficiently, and at a reasonable price. Visit here you won’t be disappointed

Amazing little gem!

Jul 2023 • family

We found this little gem of a place by chance as we usually eat in another cafe in Filey when we are here on holiday but the other place has gone dramatically downhill since it changed owners again so we needed to find somewhere else. As this lovely little cafe is up one of the side streets we hadn't seen it before but are so glad that we have now. The owners are lovely people, always a smile and a friendly welcome and the food is delicious and very reasonably priced, with good sized portions. I would recommend The Pines to anyone. It is only small but it leaves a very big impression (in a good way) and we will definitely be making this our regular eating place during all of our future holidays in the area. See you again next summer :-)

The best ever homemade steak pie

May 2022 • none

Unfortunately we didn't find this little gem until the last day of our holiday or we would have eaten here everyday. There was a wide variety of delicious homemade pies amongst other dishes all at a very reasonable price. Malcolm was funny and very friendly. I would highly recommend you try this cafe. Definitely 5 star.

Coffee Stop

Aug 2020 • family

When in Filey my parents loved visiting here, sadly Mum passed away but we still visit with my Dad, who loves the place! Malcolm is such a kind welcoming gentleman, who goes out of his way to make you happy. The coffee was lovely, the children's hot chocolates too. The food coming from the kitchen looked tasty, especially the crumble and custard!! Everything is Covid-19 covered, from hand sanitizer to giving your name etc and PPE in place. I lovely clean and overall cute little cafe in the heart of Filey.

Fabulous find

Jun 2022 • family

We have been here twice now after finding it on trip advisor. Absolute fantastic find. The owners are brilliant with a wonderful sense of humour. The home made pie is the best I have ever seen. My granddaughters loved their lunches, even down to the odd requests of carrots and cucumber with their sausages. We will definitely visit again when in Filey. They are even open on a Sunday but are shut every Thursday. If you are in Filey it's definitely worth a visit. It's a small cafe nd you might have to wait but trust me, it is so worth the wait. Enjoy.

Great Breakfast

Jul 2024 • family

Whilst in Filey on a wet morning and looking for a decent venue we came across The Pines. Straight away we were welcomed warmly and after studying the menu found everything to be very reasonably priced. We found that Malcolm and Margret were very engaging and found the conversation with us and everyone else in the place to be very warm and genuine. Great with the kids also! Unfortunately in my experience most places don’t engage in conversation but I found myself speaking to Malcolm about Football, Golf and local recommendations. A great couple running a great diner with lots of choice and great value, really enjoyed our breakfast there.

Outstanding Lunch

Apr 2023 • family

My wife stumbled across this place on our last day at Filey and what a great find. The cafe has a lovely homely feeling to it with lots of regulars visiting as the owner was greeting them during our visit. We were lucky to have a table as in no time the tables did fill up. I ordered a steak pie which was gone cooked and absolutely delicious. My wife and son had lasagne which again they said was very very good. My daughter had fish fingers. Unfortunately they had an amazing selection of desserts so we had treacle sponge and custard and sticky toffee pudding, they even offered a half portion for my daughter. When we visit Filey again we will certainly be visiting again, the whole experience was excellent and the owner couldn’t do enough for us and I would highly recommend anyone to visit during their stay in Filey!

Lovely food with fantastic service

Aug 2020 • none

Visited during a day trip to Filey. Such a lovely small coffee shop. Malcolm was so welcoming and had a great sense of humour- made us feel really welcome. The food was amazing - my cottage pie was the best I had tasted. Only downside was that the vegetables were tinned. Reasonably price and would recommend to others

Smiles all around a great gem.

Aug 2023 • family

Came in yesterday with my daughter (10) mother and aunt. On arrival, we were greeted warmly and the gentleman was fantastic. After ordering food we thoroughly enjoyed (three bacon sandwiches one extra crispy and one lasagna) the gentleman had my daughter grinning as he joked about her ice cream by the end! We will be returning next time in the area.
