I was eating a lovely meal with my wife, teenage sons and father in law in the beer garden. The Land lord comes over collecting glasses whilst we were still eating, but instead of waiting till we had finished proceeded to collect our empty glasses which I found rude. My dog that was at the side of us barked at him. He then asked what I was looking at as if he wanted to pick an argument. He proceeded to tell us he would get his dog out to sort mine out. My 19 year old son stood up and told him to calm down and asked to speak to his manager he said he was the landlord. The landlord proceeded to manhandle him out of the pub. My 16 yr old went out to be with his brother and asked the landlord to let his brother go, to which the landlord then proceeded to manhandle a minor out of the pub. I stopped him telling him he was only 16. Only to be hurled abuse asking if I was proud of my sons.
My wife and father in law voluntarily left not finishing their meals and my wife told the landlord that she had concerns with his safe guarding.
He had already been rude to my wife when she ordered drinks saying “ I haven’t got all day” when she was about to engage with him to order drinks. She said that if we hadn’t already ordered food and payed for our food we would not have stayed.
I would not recommend this pub to anyone the landlord has a serious attitude problem and was looking for an argument with someone. It is clearly his pub and he wants people to know it. He certainly doesn’t have a diploma in customer service. And all because my dog barked at him...
Read moreEnded up here for tea on Monday as the list of things that are open in Filey on a Monday is extremely short indeed.
Walking in was like how I remember pubs being in the 90s which is no bad thing at all. Bar staff were friendly and the beer choice was pretty good!
The food side of things seems to be a different business all together but using the kitchen of the pub. We initially sat at the rear right next to the kitchen which is a lighter room than the rest of the pub but honestly had to move as we could hear staff effing and blinding from within the kitchen (particularly one female voice was prominent). Foul language doesn't bother either of us and we're hardly clean tongued ourselves but it WILL cause issues for those with a sensitive nature. We ended up moving into the main body of the pub though because it started to grate!
Whilst actually being served though, staff were professional and friendly.
The menu was exactly as you'd expect and in fairness quite large so plenty of options, including a pretty big vegan choice if that's your bag! Fair play to them on that.
We each ordered burgers which come with proper chips, salad and coleslaw - which I believe is home made also.
Coleslaw aside which was bloody lovely... The rest of the meals were absolutely average to below average and honestly looked better than they were.
As a local pub for drinking I'd say it was right on the money but as a food place, look...
Read moreWent here for "steak night" on Wednesday. There were 6 of us and was told to pre book by a friend which we did on the Tuesday afternoon. They took our steak order at the time of booking so they could order from their supplier otherwise we would have to choose from what was available on the night. We ordered 1 Ribeye steak and 3 Sirloin steaks. On the night we got the steaks we ordered and each was cooked to perfection. Served with the usual chips, mushrooms, grilled tomato and salad garnish.
The price was incredible value at around £10 per steak which represents incredible value when you regularly see £27+ for steaks with the same pairing foods in other restaurants which is why I personally will never order steaks when I go out as I refuse to pay those prices when I can make, and enjoy cooking a perfect steak meal at home for a fraction of the cost.
Our children had fish and chicken nuggets. My daughter is incredibly fussy about her food but she demolished her chicken nuggets which were obviously made fresh and what impressed me was that their chips were also made from fresh cut potatoes and not the usual frozen chips you see in so many places these days. There are no excuses for using...
