Historic Robin Hood's Bay Pub Plans for Reopening

Tuesday, 18 November 2025 18:30

By Anttoni James Numminen, Local Democracy Reporter

A historic pub in Robin Hood’s Bay has applied for a premises licence ahead of a planned reopening later this year.

​The Dolphin public house in King Street in Robin Hood’s Bay is seeking a premises licence from North Yorkshire Council.

​The property’s history dates back to the 1600s and is set to reopen as a pub by the end of the year, according to its new owners.

​The pub has been shut since March 2020, when it was forced to close due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

​Its new owner, Dave Brown, recently said that he is hoping to open “in some form, at least for drinks, by Christmas”.

​The application, which has been submitted to North Yorkshire Council, proposes the sale and supply of alcohol for consumption on and off the premises.

​It is also seeking permission for “regulated entertainment, including live music and the playing of recorded music”.

​The proposal is currently open to representations and members of the public who want to comment on the plans should contact the council by Thursday, November 20.

​Anyone wishing to make representations regarding the application should give notice in writing to: North Yorkshire Council, Licensing Services, Town Hall, St Nicholas Street, Scarborough, YO11 2HG or by email to licensing.east@northyorks.gov.uk.
