Tap & Spile in Scarborough

You know, when I think about Tap & Spile, it just brings a smile to my face – it's one of those pubs that feels like a proper local gem in Scarborough. The food is a real highlight; they've got these awesome lunch boxes and Sunday roasts that are cooked to perfection and won't set you back too much, making it ideal for a casual get-together with mates. The beers are spot on too, and with live bands playing on Saturdays and Sundays, there's always a bit of excitement in the air. Plus, being dog-friendly means you can bring the whole family along, which is just lovely. On the other hand, it does tend to get quite busy at peak times, so you might end up squeezing in or waiting for a table, and the opening times can be a bit unclear, which might catch you out if you're planning ahead. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed evening out – honest, it's got that warm, community feel that makes you want to linger a while.
