We managed to very luckily get a booking here, the food was excellent, hosting and service was faultless. Fully recommend booking in advance as the gentleman said they were fully booked until February ‘25. As someone was leaving, they had booked for April ‘25. As they sometimes have cancellations, you could take a chance but I would just book in advance to save disappointment. Amazing and we will return.

Brandysnap bistro is a jewel in the crown of all restaurants. It is unique in its menu and outstanding in its quality. Adam and Claire are incredible hosts who make us feel so special every time we eat here. The bistro is worth every five star it receives. If there were 10 stars to give, we would give it. We are so lucky to have Brandysnap in our village.

I have to rate this restaurant a full 5 stars more if I could. For me it’s faultless. The food is some of the best I’ve ever tasted. And the presentation is out of this world, add to this the fabulous atmosphere .And a great host in Adam plus Claire’s fabulous cooking what more can I say! I’ve already booked again.

Simply the best - a cosy, spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming bistro. Claire and Adam make a fantastic team. The welcome is so warm and genuine, attention to detail is spot on, and of course, the food is to die for! Exquisite cuisine. As a rule, we never have 3 courses, but the menu is so lovely and varied, that we went the whole hog, and had starter, main, dessert - and fudge and brandy snaps! Everything was excellent, but can especially recommend the cheese souffle (the stuff of dreams!) and the duck my husband had was the best he has ever tasted. Quite simply perfection from start to finish, we didn't want the evening to end. Thank you Claire and Adam, we'll be back.

This was our third visit to the Brandysnap bistro and it did not disappoint! Adam and Claire are fabulous hosts and the lovely waitress (sorry we didn’t catch your name) is fantastic! As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted warmly by Adam and he takes the time to have a chat with you while you browse the menu and have a drink in the bar area. The menu is always fantastic and I always struggle to decide what I want (all delicious)! The food, as always, was out of this world! The lamb is to die for!! Myself and my dad had vegetables with our dishes and did not manage to finish all of it. When Adam came to clear the plates he remembered that we had mentioned our dog is on a strict diet currently and is eating veg as a snack. He asked if we would like to take the veg home for Nell the dog which was such a lovely touch! 10/10 as always and cannot wait to return to this lovely little bistro. I’ll be dreaming of the cheese soufflé until then! Thank you!

Dined at the Brandysnap Bistro last night for the first time and it will definitely not be the last time! What a wonderful discovery; a warm & welcoming host greeted us on arrival to this small but intimate bistro with a lovely ambience. The food was beyond perfect and so beautifully cooked and presented. We were very happy with our choices from the lovely and varied menu. We enjoyed everything about the place and have already made two future bookings. The only downside is that the Bistro is fully booked so far in advance but that is what happens when everything is so very very good.

We are new to the village and are so lucky to have this lovely restaurant on our doorstep. Our first visit this week is definitely the first of many. Adam is an excellent host and Claire is an expert chef. The atmosphere is welcoming and intimate. It feels so comfortable, it was hard to leave at the end of the evening. It was a birthday celebration and my husband was thrilled to find a lovely birthday card waiting for him when we sat at our table. The soufflé starter was beautiful. We had the beef and lamb main courses which were sublime. Vegetables were perfectly cooked and the sauces so rich and tasty. I really shouldn't have had a sweet but couldn't resist! The tipsy brandy snap was off the scale and I polished it all off!! We can't wait to return to sample more of the menu. We'll book early and advise everyone to do the same. Brandy Snap is one not to be missed.

Cheese soufflé, Stilton and mushroom rarebit and Duck rillette were enjoyed by all. Followed by the tastiest Lamb and beef dishes with vegetables cooked al dente, just as we like them. A bottle of red and a bottle of rose accompanied the food along with some very tasty desserts. Great food and service, we will be back.

We don't eat out very often but the Brandysnap is our go-to for a special occasion.Our latest visit was a reminder why we return.I can't eat any dish with onions but Claire and Adam offer me a wide range of dishes they can prepare without them and I order my meal in advance to make life easier.We took some friends there a few days ago and we all agreed that we had been treated like royalty and well-fed.Everyone marvelled at the double-baked cheese and chive soufle and I will see if I can negotiate one without chives ahead of my next visit as I feel like I should try that.Because the restaurant is small, just two rooms with a bar in the middle it is almost like dining at home. In fact we have on occasion had the exclusive use of the back room .Just like throwing a dinner party without any cooking or washing up.We will return in a few weeks and look forward to it.

We visited here on our anniversary purely by accident! (We'd left it too late in the day to book a nice place to eat and after ringing round several restaurants that were fully booked, we came across the brandysnap who had just had a table for two cancel!) The decor is simple and probably about 8-10 tables in total. You are definitely given their attention and each meal is made to order. Nothing is rushed and it's a very laid back atmosphere. When we arrived, we were shown to a small seating area near the bar, were given the days menu and specials and offered drinks. They dont rush you and allow you to take your time choosing. Shortly after ordering, you are taken to your table along with a few freshly baked dinner rolls and butter.What can I say about the food? Amazing. Everything tastes so fresh! Everything is homemade and because there are so few tables, all meals can be give attention to detail. (If you get a chance, the cheese and chive souffle is to die for!) All their icecream is made there using their own hens eggs, along with their signature brandy snap baskets...This was a proper foodie experience. Do not expect "fast food". The wait for freshly made dishes is part of the experience and is so so worth it! You will not be disappointed....(As a side note, even if you haven't got room for it, dont leave without trying the prune and armagnac icecream ;)

We had a caravan for a number of years and whilst staying locally some years ago we found the Brandysnap Bistro. We have been back several times over the last five years and this year, despite the fact that we had to drive from the middle of York, we made the effort and once again were not dissappointed. The welcome, the food and the general ambience are exactly right and a credit to Adam and Claire.

Since discovering this place 5 years ago, we are still overwhelmed by how much we enjoy visiting this cute little bistro and the quality of food and service that we receive. The food is exquisite every time and we always each order 3 courses. We particularly enjoy the cheese soufflé which is one of the best we have eaten, and the pork and lamb dishes, and not forgetting the sticky toffee pudding dessert - all freshly home made!!

My partner and I visited over the Christmas break and had the most delicious meal and delightful evening. The small restaurant was warm and very welcoming with the log burner adding to the ambience. Adam was very friendly and welcoming. We ordered a bottle of...

Please don't be in a rush when you eat here...it takes time to cook such quality food to order. I had the twice baked salmon and chive souffle followed by lamb shank. Excellent.

This is our 3rd visit over the past 3 years and the standard has remained the same. We were made to feel welcome and the ambience was excellent. My advice book early as the amount of tables is limited to avoid disappointment. The food is of a high standard and very “tasty” our only comment would be a warmer main course please. The cheese soufflé was to die for!

On arrival you are greeted with warmth and sincerity by Adam, who clearly enjoys his front of house role and is a delight to talk to. Every effort is made to make you feel comfortable and in this instance my partner was offered an additional cushion as she had a painful back. Nothing is too much trouble.

Absolutely fantastic! We received a very warm welcome and were extremely well looked after throughout our whole dining experience. Food was lovely and homemade and I was made a wonderful birthday cake. Thank you so much for making my birthday evening one to remember.

Comida fabulosa anoche. Bien vale la pena el viaje de ida a 161 kilómetros. Me encantó la opción en el menú, pero elegimos desde las ofertas especiales. Tuve vieiras y cangrejo king para comenzar gratinado, seguido por el cordero. Mi marido tenía queso de cabra y ensalada de remolacha, luego 2 manera de cerdo con puré de mostaza. Compartimos el pastel de jengibre, pera y helado casero, ya que ambos estaban tan llenos pero no pude resistir. El servicio era excelente, así como la experiencia en el Brandysnap Bistro. Sin duda no pasará mucho antes de que nos visite de nuevo!

Campo principal de la junta especiales - Carne Strogonoff y pato Grassington mama - comida excelente y generoso para repetir de verduras (con el pato). También por cualquier dulces. 65 libras y buena relación calidad-precio teniendo en cuenta la comida de alta calidad y servicio.

Recently ate at Brandysnaps again. Very warm and pleasant welcome by Adam who was very helpful when deciding on which wine to choose (2 very sizeable tasters were presented). Couldn't fault any of the courses - food was so tasty and beautifully presented. (The double baked souffle is delicious - we chose the cheese one). This visit we were seated in the back room and there is plenty of room around the tables so that you're not sitting on top of the other guests. Our only complaint - we were visiting the area from saturday to wednesday so were only able to eat here on Wednesday! We've learnt our lesson for next time.

Visited for a meal to celebrate my husband's birthday and what a fantastic choice. An excellent, varied selection available for each course plus specials that cater for all tastes. Every dish was made with the finest of ingredients, cooked to perfection with care and attention down to the very last detail and absolutely delicious. This accompanied by a lovely ambience and high quality service just added to the occasion. The little extras including the mini brandy snaps and fudge served with coffee are what makes this bistro stand out above the rest. Congratulations Adam and Claire on what can only be described as an absolute foodie's delight.

Made a phone call here and asked if they could cope with a dairy free diet. They couldn't have been more helpful. Had a superb meal with a few minor adjustments. Everything about the food and service was first class. Will definitely eat here again when we are in the area.

This is really an excellent restaurant, both for the food and service, but as stated, booking is essential as there are not many tables.The menu is interesting and the quality and presentation of the food is great. Very nice bistro style atmosphere. An unexpected find in a small village.Certainly worth a third visit if in the vicinity.

This was the 4th year in a row we have been to The Brandysnap Bistro. We drove over from Leeds and it was well worth the trip. The food is amazing, the staff are extremely friendly. We will definitely be returning.

Meal for 2 midweek and arrived slightly late. Nothing was a problem. Greeted by James who I can only describe as, sincere, charming and an old head on young shoulders. Saw to our every need and food was well made and presented. Pigeon was the nicest my partner has tasted and scallops beautifully cooked. Nice portions. Steak and blue cheese sauce was gorgeous ! Chicken too. Spoke to the owner and chef late who was lovely. They have an ordinary menu, gluten free and veggie one too. Quite clear he loves cooking. Can't recommend enough. Would definitely return. Thanks guys.

The reason why we came to Helmsley was because we had eaten at the Rattle Owl in York when Tom Heywood was the head chef there. We had the misfortune of returning there after he had left and it was not even close to the original experience. It was our 25 wedding anniversary and the night previously we had the taster menu at the Star Inn at Harome. We chose the wine pairing with some trepidation as we have often experienced unfortunate pairings which Sommeliers’ have tried to convince us are a match with some course or other and yet seemed totally arbitrary. I am delighted to report that for the first time in my experience of high end eateries I could actually ‘taste’ the connection between each of the courses and the accompanying drink. I say ‘drink’ because it wasn’t always conventional wine in fact we had a coffee/chocolatey stout accompanying the bread course (both delicious) , an local Solaris sparkling white wine from Dunesforde Vineyard, Yorkshire with the trout (I didn’t believe it was possible but a fantastic wine) and an orange wine from the US with the scallop dish perfectly complementing the food. If I haven’t gone on about the food it’s only because I was expecting it to be world class and it was. Every course perfectly presented and singing with flavour. The was a mushroom mousse course on the menu and coincidently also on the menu at the Star Inn - there was no comparison. The Pignut mousse melted in the mouth as it should sadly the Star Inn’s version was stodgy and forgettable. Every course was light, succulent and tasty. Service was very attentive without being overbearing and Lauissa explained the ethos and the journey for her and Tom. In short unbeatable.

Be aware there is no mobile phone signal.The Cross Keys is a small village pub which provides accommodation, with the pleasantly decorated rooms in a separate building. Fresh milk was provided on arrival for a much needed cup of tea. Food is served in the pub every night which is good news for those walking the Yorkshire Wolds Way.After a good night’s sleep and breakfast, I collected my pack-up lunch and left Thixendale having been made welcome by Steve and Mary throughout my stay. It was great value too.

The Bay Horse is a truly outstanding place for a meal. Although a little out of the way, it's well worth a visit. Not only is the food thoroughly delicious but the service was exemplary. Altogether an outstanding pub/restaurant and I highly recommend it!

The service, the food, all good, but not great. The scallop starter with black pudding was delicious, the main course of Belly Pork was mediocre and the cheese course with two pieces of cheese was less than impressive. With wine, peroni and a glass of whiskey the bill of £175.00 for two people was far too excessive for what was on offer. We have dined in Michelin star for far less and this place just didn’t hit the spot for the cost.
