Scarborough Hotel reviews
5 Star Review by Connie Ngu
Beautiful location on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon! Its only one hour drive from Sydney, not to mention the priceless views. The fish and chips was delicious, it was soft and flaky, not too fishy at all. The beets and pumpkin salad was flavorful with just the right amount of dressing. Burgers, pasta, prawns and oysters were also on the menu. They have a great selection of items for everyone. A very classy place with great service! Highly recommended
4 Star Review by Sean Chen
This location is fantastic on a bright and sunny day. Nothing like pub food and beer with a view. However like the other comments, can be better with the quality of food. Got the beef burger and chicken burger. Id rate it above average for the food so def still room for improvement. Will recommend this as a pit stop if youre driving past Sea Cliff Bridge.
5 Star Review by Teboho Kooma de Bie
Staff were very accommodating and friendly, considering we arrived at time the kitchen was preparing to close! They have a clever and efficient ordering system. Even on an overcast day, the atmosphere at the Scarborough is very relaxing and beautiful. The garden is designed to tolerate some wet weather so you can still enjoy yummy, fresh food with an exquisite ocean view.
4 Star Review by Iris Yan
The ocean view is stunning. We came at 11am without reservation and were lucky to get a big table in the balcony! On-site parking is quite limited. Burger is a bit dry and other food are averagepaying the price more for the view :) its still worthwhile to pay a visit here.
4 Star Review by Scott Robins
If you want a table best to book ahead. If the rain isn't coming at you sideways then it cam be quiet pleasant even in the rain. Just pack a jacket. Service can be a little slow, but a great place to pop into on a weekend drive

Beautiful views. Good ice cream. A bit sad they are not open in the afternoon/evening. I think they close at 4pm.

5 Star Review by Thanh Truc Lai
Kids/Dog Friendly & Amazing Views what more can you ask for! We love spending the day at the beaches and then stopping at Scarborough Hotel for some lunch before heading back home. The price for food and drinks is alittle higher than most pubs around the area, but you pay for the sunny cold bevy experience with the views.
5 Star Review by The Gouldos
Although the day we lunched at the Scarborough Hotel was cold and miserable the staff brightened the day considerably. The food we had was cooked perfectly (2 x grilled barramundi and 1 Moroccan Spiced Cauliflower salad), and not too pricey. The hotel was busy even on a Wednesday, that says a lot. Go early for an outside table.
