The Old Scalby Mills, Scarborough

This pub should be avoided like the plague. I took my wife and 4 year old daughter in on Sunday 4th September for a bite to eat and a pint and the place was filthy. When we asked the staff to kindly wipe our table (which had dog hairs on it) they looked surprised as if we were asking for something unattainable. The food was over priced, tasteless and little of it. We ordered some home made fries for �1.95 and they arrived in a tiny plastic chip tray, half full. My wife was half way through her cup of tea when she discovered somebody else's lipstick all around her cup. When I took it back to the bar they simply replaced it without a sorry, explanation or reassurances it was a one off. The staff were indifferent, surly and it ruined what had been up until that point a lovely day. Filthy pub, tasteless food that takes up to 45 minutes to arrive, indifferent staff - HORRIBLE PLACE.
