The Flask Inn - Scarborough

Came in for a Sunday lunch with our toddler last week, and it was absolutely amazing!! The food was incredible and the best roast dinner I've had out in years, followed by a chocolate brownie which was so delicious!! The staff and owners were so welcoming and lovely, even when our toddler got a little excited about seeing dogs in the pub!! We cannot wait for another family meal out at this amazing country pub!!

I have just returned from a weekend away staying at The Flask Inn, It has been Amazing! Not only is the location beautiful, but my hotel room was very clean and lovely! The food I had on both nights was probably the best I have ever tasted, all home cooked not your usual pub grub at all! Thank you to all the staff, particularly the owners Sarah and Nick for all your highly efficient service, nothing was too much trouble! Once again Thank you, I will definitely be back! 5 out of 5 stars!

We were staying very close by at Grouse Hill campsite and got in touch with the Flask Inn to enquire about booking tables one evening. They immediately asked how many it was for. I responded with 8 families. I realise in the current climate many places are not taking large booking however we could of all sat at different tables to accommodate social distancing. Unfortunately we were not even allowed to explore any options as to how we could dine at the Flask Inn as they replied with..... ‘Sorry we don’t have the capacity for that sort of numbers , We have our own residents and regulars who use the pub . I am sorry but I am afraid you won’t be allowed in’. I’m wasn’t expecting that reply! The locals and regulars take priority over visiting trade. So disappointing. Again, as mentioned above I appreciate COVID has impacted on the ‘norm’ however they didn’t use that as a valid reason to turn us away, instead their regulars are more important. Such a shame.

We called in for a few drinks 2nights as we were camping over the road, the staff are very strict on the safe distancing so much so as it stops becoming a pub unfortunately The staff were friendly and I hope the pub gets back to being a normal pub again one dayI never ate in the pub so I can’t give an opinion

This is not Vegetarian friendly the Vegetarian section on the menu is called the “ Vegetable Menu”. It had very little choice especially if you don’t like cheese. The broccoli and Stilton soup was clearly from a packet and was still grainy I have made better whilst camping. The burger buns were very dry and the chips were certainly not “thrice cooked” more barely cooked. Mine were cold in the middle and the onions rings were not cooked on the bottom. The salad was curled and dry. I can only assume after reading the other reviews they have changed their chef recently. I have had better food at half the price at a greasy spoon cafe. Can not recommend this.
