Beautifully modern with old style charm and the most fabulous standards. The cinema in the afternoons is a real treat you wouldnt expect to find and definately to be recommended. If you're lucky you might bump into Alan as he listens to chatter in local cafe's and on the seafront for material for his next play! Truly wonderful and a... More

A very interesting play, well worth reviving. It was a period piece which rang true for the period but also had universal application. The acting and production were excellent.

I attended a concert of 'hang drum' music with my son. We visit the theatre for plays often and love it, but this was our first music event. Being a sound engineer I am hyper critical but I had a very relaxing evening listening to Manu Delago and his band. For acoustic partially amplified music of this kind the half-round... More

I really rate the SJT. For starters the restaurant is has a great pre-show menu and during intermissions the bar is quick with their service meaning you get the chat rather than stand in line. The theatre shows quality productions, the cinema a good selection of quality movies. Overall a great evening out either on a date or with friends.

Recently went for a pre-perfornance meal. The food was excellent with very generous portions. Very pleasant staff with prompt service. I only have a very small critical observation - it would be nice to have either table cloths or mats, the tables are not attractive and it would just give a finishing touch to what is a lovely restaurant. As... More

We’ve visited theatres all over the country and despite being regular visitors to Scarborough were amazed that we hadn’t found this one before now. We are glad that we now have. The ‘Round Theatre' isn’t so much ‘round’ as ‘square’ in that seating is on all four sides of the floor; a clever idea and certainly one that worked for... More

This was our second visit to the SJT Restaurant. We hadn't booked to go to the current production but chose the venue because the food is so good and the setting is lovely - an attractive art deco style building with the Restaurant located on the first floor. The set menu was just under £22 for 3 courses (4 choices... More
