Best KPortal Reviews
We had a great evening in the pub. The staff were so helpful bringing drinks to the table. We ordered the pies. Very tasty and reasonably priced.
They allowed the dogs in and brought them treats and water.
Would definitely recommend
Cozy little pub.
Extremely rude bar person. (A young female)
Real ale quality was sub standard.
Take your trade somewhere else where the bar person is more welcoming and not as rude.
I wouldn't mind paying £14 odd if the real ale was of a decent quality and the staff were friendly.
After reading a couple negative reviews I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were unfounded and undeserved. While there may be some truth to being more welcomed if you enter with a dog as the owner is clearly a canine lover, I didn't notice anyone without a pup being forgotten about or dismissed.
This is a small area supported in equal parts tourism and local clientele, it was clear there was a clique of familiarity among the locals, but was in no way off putting. I didn't find any of the staff to be rude at all, they served us promptly and without fault.
I ordered a pizza which arrived in good time, cooked to perfection. I also noticed they do takeaway as well which clearly speaks to the popularity of their food.
My partner noticed a sign that said "no WiFi, no kids" which was such a delight to see.
I want to point out it's a small cosy venue, capable of seating somewhere around 20-30ish or so people, and upon arrival we did find ourselves waiting ten minutes or so for a table to become available, so I would recommend calling ahead to reserve a table. I tried this but failed to find a contact number on Google, probably the only negative thing I'd say about the place though that may have been down to my own technological ineptitude, so keep that in mind depending what day/time you visit it might be busy.
Great drink choices, their beer "smugglers gold" was a triumph and I would return again for that sweet nectar alone never mind its many other features.
As a final note I'll add on to anyone looking to spend a night or two, we stayed at raven hotel in ravenscar which can be seen on the cliff side from robin hoods bay, well worth a look.
In all, great little tavern, lush location, treat the locals with kindness and you'll receive it back tenfold. 10/10
Dog friendly, but NOT people friendly! Such a miserable staff member serving, that let the whole place and atmosphere down. I warned a couple as they were walking in, and once I went back past the bar, they said "you were right". Lovely inside, but totally let down by the sour face serving, who has no personality or customer service whatsoever - A few people walked in to ask about food, to be bluntly told it wasn't until 4pm, as though they were a hindrance...
Absolutely love it here. Staff are amazing. They even let me bring my own vegan cheese in so I could enjoy a pizza which was the best ive had in a long time. Made mt night even better. Thank you
We had booked a table for 4 on Saturday, when we turned up the rugby was on, and the bar was packed to the max. the bar manager was having a personal conversation whilst we waited in the queue. The bar manager looked at us in shock, and said we didn’t have a booking, which we reminded yes we booked in person, she then pointed to a 2 person table in the corner and said we can fit you on there, didn’t seem bothered she forgot to reserve us a table, shame as the pizzas were really quite good, just let down by front of house
Lovely bar .The owners have done a great job refurbishing the bar while retaining the character and feel of the bar.Lovely pizza and drink served by pleasant staff.I would recommend this bar.
A great place. Cosy, atmospheric and just right for the Sunday night we visited with the Rugby World Cup quarter finals in full flow. A very friendly bar staff and locals. Leaving as the pub closed I left my coat. Returning the following I was dismayed to see the pub was closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! We were leaving Tuesday morning! Luckily after a knock-on the door a super helpful cleaner opened up and between us the coat was found. Thanks so much. We will definitely be back.
