A new upmarket seafood restaurant has opened in the centre of Scarborough.

Thomas Carr @ The Coast was previously based at Ox Pasture Hall, but Mr Carr decided to try again in a new place on Hoxton Road in the centre of town.

It is a two-person operation with just himself as chef, and the owner is Ewelina Jamroz, front of house.

Mr Carr said: “We’ve kept the same ethos of seafood, with an evening taster menu and a cheaper lunch option.

"There are more varieties of fish than there are meat and Scarborough is a seaside town,” he said.

"There aren’t many seafood restaurants, there are a lot of takeaway places and fish and chips but not proper seafood restaurants.

"We thought it was a good idea to do something a bit different.

"It’s one of those special occasion restaurants and hopefully lunches will be busy.

"Scarborough is always busy in the school holidays with plenty of people around so it’s a case of getting our name out there and building it up.”

Mr Carr held a Michelin star for seven years from 2016 to 2022 at his two previous restaurants in North Devon - The Olive Room and 1873 - and Thomas Carr @ The Coast was also listed in the prestigious Michelin Guide less than five months after it opened in September 2023.

Lunch £40 includes wild mushroom risotto and truffle, whole grilled plaice with Hasselback potatoes, baked rice pudding with pear jam and poached pear.

Tasting menu samples
