The Hart Inn in Scarborough

Hope you have a healthy appetite the portions are generous. The freshly made steak pie was excellent filled with huge chunks of tender meat. The green lipped mussels were also excellent and in a beautiful garlic butter and leek sauce

We were on holiday in Hinderwell and decided to meet up with family and they recommended this pub. Food was all fine but the man behind the bar needs to brush up on his customer service. He was very rude and had a bad attitude. Very expensive for what you got. Won't we going back anytime soon. A lot of locals stood round the bar that won't move to let you pass. Such a shame as it's a lovely pub inside, just needs a new landlord or owner, the other staff were all fine and very friendly.

We called in for lunch following an earlier walk to Whitby and back, and we were so glad we did. As we had the Cockerpoo with us we called round the back to the beer garden as this was out of the breeze the sun was out. We were greeted with a external bar that served beers and took orders for food. (Madri on tap). Clean dog bowls were available for our four legged friends. Food was served in a timely manner by a polite waitress and could not be faulted. I opted for the delicious Cod goujon sandwich and my wife for a quirky 'pint pot' of scampi which see loved. We feel we've uncovered a gem of a place and will definitely visit again if in the area.

Food & service was excellent & staff very friendly. Restaurant area is upstairs. Dogs allowed in bar area where you can have a meal too. Our group ordered 6 different meals, all were 5 star. It's in an ideal spot opposite the beach with its own car park another plus point.

Came in on the off chance driving back from Whitby. Was very busy and thought we would have no chance of getting served. A young lady said if we would wait about 15 minutes something may come up upstairs. Within two minutes we were seated. My wife and daughter were very happy with their food but I was a little disappointed with mine. The chips I thought were overdone and the batter on the fish was quite mushy. Like I said though my wife and daughter thought it was the best food they had on our little trip so swings and roundabouts I suppose. The service we got was exceptional though.

Busy pub as we entered - thought no chance of getting a table for 4 adults & 2 kids. Spoke to a young lady waiting on who said there is a room upstairs - result. Table for 6 - sat down and ordered drinks. Brought within minutes. Decided to stay for lunch. Kids wanted egg sandwich - normally came with cress - no problem to make without cress - result 2. Granddaughter wanted skinny fries and baked beans not on the menu. Again no problem- result 3. Whitby crab sandwich ordered. 2 posh fish finger butties ordered. Son in law wanted cheese & ham sandwich, again not in the menu - no problem - result 4. It’s unusual to find a pub/restaurant so accommodating - you have a good set up here with brilliant staff. We are only here for a long weekend - but we will return next time we are in the area. Thank you to all at The Hart - you made our day. 😄😄💙👍💕💕 xx

Great atmosphere, great staff. Proper northern pub. Exceptional. Love the place like so many others. Always a pleasure. Never miss a visit every time we visit the east coast.

Avoid at all costs unless you are local and male!! Went in to have dinner it was relatively busy but we managed to get a table. I went to the bar to order drinks. The bar man served every male at the bar including a group of 5 men, all who had arrived after me, he knew i was waiting as he was serving every male around me and totally ignored me. An elderly gentleman came to the bar after me and he also served him, he was paying with a card and the bar man snatched the card machine away before the poor man had chance to take his card out only to literally throw the card back at him! Still being ignored i decided to leave the pub without ever being acknowledged! Disgusting behaviour!

Not the normal experience we have and left disappointed with the food my wife was served. Pork very fatty indeed, Complained three times and did get an apology but nothing else, Would have expected a replacement at the least but nothing was forthcoming !!

Fantastic as usual great food and service a true gem of a pub cater for every kind of diet , can honestly say have paid a lot more for a lot poorer quality food .

Very disappointed. My birthday treat, all the way from Sunderland. Came here 3 years ago, lovely welcome and food. Very different this time. Had to send our steaks back as very undercooked, only to have one of ours returned still undercooked. Spent over £100, absolutely disgraceful 😔

Popped in for lunch on Wednesday 20th with my family. Ordered 2 scampi and chips and 1 cheese sandwich for my son. Absolutely delicious! Huge portions and of good quality too. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Dog friendly which was also a bonus as we...

We had just been in Wetherspoons Whitby where 4 of us had a choice of at least 10 fantastic real ales which was £9.60. We then walked to the Hart with one choice of so so Wainwright. The same round was over £24. Disappointed we...

After a long walk from whitby to here not very welcoming land lord seemed to have a problem. Ordered drinks sat in beer garden and left didn't seem to want to know.

We had a lovely meal and drinks at the Hart inn. Friendly staff, delicious fresh food and dog friendly. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended

Great staff. Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Always! All year round. There’s a garden and terrace when the sun is out, and a real fire for those winter months. Dog friendly.

Absolutely amazing crab was so fresh the whitby cod was amazing partner had salt and pepper squid and steak Pie was brilliant will definitely be returning.

A nice little pub, the food is delicious, good menu, my favourite is the Cajun chicken with onion rings. Am now a weekly visitor.

Visited for Lunch as was attracted by location and the fresh seafood advertised. The pub was nice and drinks reasonable but was disappointed with food selection. Unfortunately crab was off the menu as no catch arrrived which understandable but was assured “fresh prawns” were available...

We are staying about 10 miles away and looked for somewhere dog friendly with good reviews. We found The Hart. It was very busy - but so very friendly - but we managed to get a table. The menu was great with so much choice...

We could not fault this place visited Wednesday late afternoon lucky we managed to get a table downstairs for 7 People , The pub was packed with lots of people great atmosphere along with a few well behaved dogs had drinks then ordered food at...

Visited with friends early afternoon one weekend. Very busy but that’s to be expected. We all crammed in round a small table, that’s fine too. Ordered, a bit of huffing and puffing from the bar staff as it was apparently close to them shutting them...

Lovely traditional pub. Food is absolutely lovely! A little pricey but worth it. The only disappointment was that when we'd finished eating (9.15pm) they were clearing up and closing. It would have been nice to have sat in the bar and enjoyed a drink by...

My wife and I visited, with our dog, on a chilly and damp November day and found a warm welcome - friendly service and fellow customers and an open fire burning. We got the only remaining seats in the bar even though it was mid-afternoon...

Had dinner mid week, found the food choices limited and for what I received was disappointed, the food was edible but that was as far as it went for me; taking into consideration prices and what was actually received have had much better. Service was...

At least 10 of us been going every year for a very long time, this year there was a definite improvement in staff friendliness and food quality, it’s always been ok but this year an improvement for sure. Great place to eat and relax.

Service from young staff was excellent, apart from beer being spilt into my wife’s curry. Food was fine although a little over priced. Sandsend is not London so why on earth is Wainwrights beer £5.90 a pint? Not the way to attract tourists. We shall...

Called in for Sunday dinner at 12.30. No dinners available!! Stop serving at 1.30pm!! Even people who had book for Sunday dinner had to have fish and chips. Not what they wanted. In my opinion- Must not want to serve customers with what they want...

Absolutely amazing food atmosphere great service great would definitely recommend this quaint little place you might have to wait for a table

We'd been to the Hart Inn before for a drink or two and decided to book for an evening meal. We we're disappointed. The starters we ordered were so tasty, monk fish bites and brie wedges. They looked like mains when they arrived at our...

We popped in for lunch whilst visiting for the day , staying in Whitby . My husband had smoked salmon salad and I had prawn salad. The service was quick , and the salad looked beautiful , so colourful with a pot of coleslaw and...

Couldn’t have found a nicer pub to have our evening meals with all the staff were friendly and the service was fast considering how busy it was. The meals were delicious and we dined for 2 evenings. We had the sharing starter of cod goujons,...

Perfectly cooked steak and hearty onion rings. The peppercorn sauce could use a bit more punch, but overall, it's a decent and well-priced venue.

My wife and I often walk from Whitby to Sandsend, have a few drinks, a meal then catch the bus back. Love this place! The food has never disappointed, … we normally have the seafood platter which though says for 2 could easily do 4....

Excellent as usual. One of the best places to eat near Whitby. The staff are spot on and so friendly. Food is fantastic and great price. Drinks are varied. Company was good. Even the locals are friendly. Shout out to Roger Mason, Ivor, Stuart, Mike,...

Lovely pub, friendly staff and excellent food. We were a walk in for lunch but it looks like a booking is definitely required for dinner. No hesitation in recommending and will be repeating our visit when next in the area.

Nice food, good portions, dog friendly, tables inside and out. Friendly staff. Would have stayed for longer but music was awful.

Excellent lunch in secluded garden behind the pub. We each had a sandwich and mine (crab) was especially delicious with lots of filling. I drank Black Sheep.

Absolutely amazing meal. We walked from Whitby along the beach and was ready for a rest, pint and some food. There was 5 of us all with different dishes, every thing we ordered was really good. Cheeseburger tasted amazing, brie starter was excellent, my wife...

This is a favourite spot of my husband & I, especially during summer months when they open the rear outside courtyard. Can never fault the food, pricey salads but delicious & fresh. The service however …😵 . It seems the staff have no idea about...

Lovely place in Sandsend. We had lunch here and all really enjoyed the food. My Mum said it was the best salad she has ever eaten. Great selection to choose from on the menu. Good quality food. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Really...

Great food and location. Ate here 3 times whilst on holiday for a week. Absolutely beautiful and tasty food. Dog friendly too which was a bonus.

A very busy pub but fantastic food! - had the Whitby crab salad, a huge plateful, with a large crab . . attractive plateful. The only downside is that the pub was full of noisy men, making sure everyone heard them! - the staff were...

We finally got to return after a couple of years wait. I wanted to go back for a Crab Sandwich which was the best one i had ever had previously and again it didnt dissapoint. Lots of white meat which you dont always get,just the...

A warm welcome, even though we hadn’t booked. It was busy but they fitted us in and were very friendly. Tasty food & excellent service. A friendly place.
