About This Pub

Ah, the Crown Tavern – it's one of those pubs that just feels like a breath of fresh air when you step inside. From what I've gathered from folks who've been there, the food really steals the show; whether it's a perfectly cooked curry on a Wednesday or a gluten-free burger that doesn't skimp on flavour, it's clear they've got the menu dialled in for all sorts of tastes. The staff? Well, they're the heart of the place, always on hand with a smile and a chat, making you feel right at home from the get-go. And at these prices, it's a win-win – you can tuck into a solid meal and a few drinks without worrying about the tab. On the flip side, it might let you down if your favourite dish is off the menu that day, and those operating hours can be a bit of a puzzle with the various listings, so planning ahead is key. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone after a good pub experience in Scarborough, blending that classic local charm with a bit of something extra – I'd say it's worth a visit for the atmosphere alone, but don't forget to check what's on offer before you go!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food here is spot on – think hearty pub classics, tasty curries, and even gluten-free options that hit the mark, making it a brilliant spot for a proper meal.
  • Staff are an absolute delight; they're friendly, attentive, and add a real warmth to the place, like chatting with old mates behind the bar.
  • It's easy on the wallet, offering great value for money without skimping on quality, so you can enjoy a pint and a bite without breaking the bank.

Cons
  • Occasionally, some dishes might be unavailable, which can be a bit disappointing if you're set on something specific.
  • The operating hours seem a tad confusing with mixed listings, so it's worth double-checking to avoid any surprises when you're popping in.

Fantastic meal. We had a curry on curry Wednesday. Mel, the hostess was very friendly and attentive and John the chef prepared a first class Beef Madras. I will be visiting again on my next trip to Scarborough and I thoroughly recommend this pub to anyone who likes a good meal in a good pub with a friendly atmosphere.

Visited here as a family with my mum who is coeliac. Staff were all lovely and polite. Service was very prompt and our order was right to the tee. The food was all lovely especially my mums gluten-free burger. We eat regularly at a lot of marstons as they have an extensive gluten free menu and my mum said this was the best she had ever had. The chef even came out personally to check everything was too our liking. Nothing seemed to be too much at all. Can’t fault it. Definitely be coming back

What can I say! we called in for a meal when passing and had the rump steak, our first choice of steak and ale pie being unavailable. It was an absolute first class meal, steak cooked to perfection, well cooked accompaniments and a yummy chocolate mint dome to finish. The steak melted in the mouth and everything was very tasty and well prepared. We will definitely visit again in future. Compliments to the chef and the friendly bar and wait staff, great atmosphere, lovely food.
