The best restaurants in Ryedale Yorkshire and The Humber

We have visited this cafe before but just for a drink inside the modern cafe area. This time the extended family (8) decided on food as well. Sitting outside in a shaded area everyone enjoyed their food choices, with the Monk's Pottage being a bit of a highlight! If you are visiting the Abbey, be sure to stop and refresh in the cafe.

Very welcoming and kind. Delicious fish and chips. So happy to have children in shop which was very nice. Chopped up their sausages so not too hot and let us eat in the takeaway as it was getting dark outside and we didn’t want to get back in car and risk ketchup going everywhere! Highly recommend as a perfect family pit stop!

Possibly the worst dining experience we have ever had in a pub. We should never have gone in after being warned there was a party of 18 booked, and had we realised how incredibly noisy they were going to be, we would have gone away. I had to take a tablet half an hour before eating, so my husband asked for us to be served in half an hour. The large party's orders were taken and the food delivered long before ours arrived, and they were ordering their desserts; a couple near us who had come in after us were served. I was getting anxious, because if more than an hour goes by without eating, my stomach tablet doesn't work. My husband had to go and ask about our order, because I was getting very anxious and also getting a migraine because of the noisy party, who were constantly yelling to each other. I went to the loo, which was up a step (so not wheelchair friendly, though the entrance is), which were less than clean, and one of the toilets didn't even have a seat. I mean, a new seat isn't exactly dear! There were a lot of signs up abut drugs, so it looks like there is a drug problem. My meal was there when I got back to the table, but it was barely edible. The chicken had been warmed up too long in the microwave and was too hard and overdone to eat, and the cheese was congealed and rubbery. They brought us a free drink to say sorry but we just wanted to get out of there as quick as we could. To add insult to injury, the large party had blocked us in with one of their many vehicles. The interior was dark and dingy and depressing. This was the first time we'd eaten anywhere in Pickering and we wish we hadn't bothered and just eaten in the hotel we were staying in, thankfully not this one.

Stayed at the Beansheaf hotel for 6 nights recently as I was working in the area. The hotel is lovely, the rooms are clean and well maintained and have lots of little touches that you don’t get in big chain hotels. The owners are friendly and can’t do enough for you, nothing is too much trouble. Really pretty views too, loved that if you stood outside on a night you could hear the farm animals!! Would definitely recommend this hotel and hopefully I will find a reason to stay there again. Thank you for a lovely stay

When staying at a local campsite and visiting Pickering we found this lovely spacious bar, spotlessly clean. Nice ambiance, great choice of drinks served amiably by Daz, the manager. Friendly clientele. Pictures of the bar need updating on Ta as the bar looks much smarter & welcoming than shown here.

Attitude to dogs We attended a Christmas fair and drove for 40 mins to get there. I don't recall NO DOGS on.line. However, car park muddy on arriving at the door for Xmas market, was told in s curt manor NO DOGS ALLOWED. an explanation and an apology would have been courtis. We live in scarborough and recommend the hall to tourist who visit our business. Not any more Your staff need training in customer care.

We stayed nearby and had used this place a few years ago. The service was quick as we were the first customers after opening and the food was very tasty although my wife wasn't a massive fan of the fried rice. The surprise was the price as dishes were a couple of pounds dearer in Yorkshire than down south in Bedfordshire, I always though the north was cheaper and Yorkshire men traditionally tight with their money😁 The other Chinese in Pickering also has similar prices so not an isolated occurrence.

I went for Bank Holiday Sunday dinner with a group of friends, 13 of us in total. We had pre-booked and the staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly. The food was delicious, huge portions and everyone was very impressed and happy. Great value too!

Después de haber leído varios artículos sobre el Búho, pensamos que era imprescindible para celebrar mi cumpleaños. El entorno es impecable, y la calidez, la decoración y el saludo a su llegada es de primera clase. Comenzamos compartiendo el rarebit como un mordisco, muy sabroso y bueno para tomar con nuestras bebidas, luego entrantes de souffle dos veces horneado, y buñuelos de pez monje, de nuevo encantadores y sabrosos. Platos principales, de bacalao con mejillones para mí, y el cassoulet y pato para mi marido, disfrutamos PERO, mi trozo de bacalao por £ 23 era probablemente 3 pulgadas de grande, la salsa era sabrosa con unos 2 mejillones en ella, el principal de mi marido, de nuevo muy sabroso, se sirvió en el tazón más pequeño, así que fue incómodo probar los diferentes componentes de su comida. Normalmente termino con un postre, pero después de haber visto el tamaño de las porciones que se ofrecen a otras mesas, decidí que el precio no justificaría pedir uno. Antes de que juzgues mis comentarios, puedo asegurarte que grandes porciones no me impresionan, sin embargo, sí me gusta sentir que he comido bien. Pedimos sal y pimienta, que a regañadientes trajo la camarera, y nos dijeron "ya hay sal en las papas fritas". . . nuestra elección de agregar, no la de ella. Una sugerencia masiva, algún tipo de luz se necesita en su aparcamiento, tono negro a su llegada, mi marido tuvo que usar la luz en su teléfono.

We we were en route and saw this pub which looked decent enough. We were planning to just have a sandwich , which I did and it was very good, a real plateful for £7.25 and my husband had the scampi. We both agreed that the chips were superb . The service was warm and welcoming, the garden area was great ( but too hot for us to use ) . The place looks like it needs a bit of TLC but the food and service are worth calling in for .

I know it is hard at present but glad to see you are still going in a cut down form, really glad of the ice cream...

Called here for coffee and lunch. Waited 5 minutes and were shown to a table. Waitress said she'd bring over the menus. Stood around chatting to her colleagues, Menu never arrived. After 15 minutes we walked out. I don't expect the food to come immediately but I do expect a menu to be delivered within 15 minuts. Goodness knows how long we'd have had to wait for food if we had stayed. Don't even deserve the 1* I've had to give them.

The food was nice but served on cold plates about 35 minutes after ordering. By the time we'd eaten it it was stone cold. We also had to wait for cutlery as it wasn't put out when we were served with our coffee which of course was cold by the time the food came.

Lovely food cooked fresh and hot. Very friendly staff in this lovely family run pub. My family go here regular and have tried most things on menu with no faults. Everything has been nice that we've had

Lovely big pub… the car park is big and spacious… they have a big wooden oven for pizza… and the chefs and kitchen in front of you. They have table service and big variety of food. My service was polite. The steak was delicious…. The alcohol free cocktails were delicious….Only had part the toilets smelled badly.
