Went for Sunday dinner and the food was great, staff are really friendly and the prices are fair. Inside seating is quite cosy and comfortable. We also had dessert, which was nice.

Took my son here tonight and we were left for 40 minutes without even the offer of a drink. We were completely ignored and other people coming in after us were getting served. Once I had got up to walk out the waitress the suddenly noticed us! Will never come back. Such a shame as I’ve just moved here and like to support local businesses

Waited 50 minutes for the food. Was ok, nothing special but cooked well. The main concern was increasing the prices on all our mains from the menu. When I questioned this the waitress looked embarrassed, she obviously knew what they had done and brought a revised bill. This was not wrong items so no mistake. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Just had the best Sunday lunch here! I have always been disappointed if eating out for Sunday lunch, and end up wish I'd made my own, until today! Really fresh, served hot, lovely taste gravey, it was delicious 😋 only down side, I was too full for dessert! I had the vegetarian option (butternut squash and beetroot Wellington) and husband had the farm yard (pork, beef and chicken). Would definitely recommend.

Outstanding food, service and atmosphere! In a separate dining area, there was ample room for our extended family of 12. The lighting was ambient and cosy, and the food was both delicious and well presented. Vick and her team provided first class service. All in all, we couldn't have wished for a better venue for our Christmas family celebration.

Would not reccomend the gluten free roast all they do to make it glutne free is remove the yorkshire puddings which is arguably the best bit. To make it worse they do not offer any reduction in price despite serving less food. Rest of the food was ok but a bit cold and bland.

Nice little spot with staff who are very helpful. We went with a big party and think we pushed them to their limits with the amount of servings they could do at once. But they did well and the food came out in a decent amount of time. It seemed to be all freshly prepared and tasted really good. The veggies were a little different with nice sweet carrots and parsnips. The cut of pork was different to what you often get and one I much preferred, possibly belly with some great flavour. One pork was a bit dry but others were good. We sat out the back which was a nice area that had the train station over the back so the kids got very excited every time a train pulled up which was nice. The dogs enjoyed themselves as well. All in all a very nice experience.

Me and my daughter went to have some food here. I scoped it out by pictures on Google before we went. I do that because how else I'll know what to order. I had a good wage coming in this month so I thought to go and treat our selves. Staff was very nice and we took the seats outside right over the trainline. Wish there hadn't been a strike. Would have been a cool view at the trains going underneath. Food was great. I was jealous of my daughters burger. It was amazing. Chips vere out of this world. We had to leave earlier than I wanted because of wasps.. But there is nothing that staff could have done about it. Oh and the portions are very well sized. I eat a lot and I wasn't disappointed at all at mine or hers. Definitely would come back again.

Booked a table online weeks in advance for my partner’s birthday. When we arrived we were told the kitchen would be closing in 30 minutes - no warning of this during booking. Then the staff member comes back moments later to tell us that, actually, the kitchen is already closed. When we asked why we were even able to book the time the response was along the lines of “sorry not sorry.” Shockingly, their website is still accepting bookings at 2:30. Completely ruined what was supposed to be a birthday treat 👎👎👎

About 20 mins in to our walk a car pulled up. It was the pub landlord. We had left a bag of shopping at the table and he got in his car and found us enroute. What a star. That is what I call EXCELLENT service.

Highly recommend and definitely going back.

Great wine selection and the owner is keen to ensure you are having a good time and you are enjoying the food. Rare find - privately owned and keen to make it work. We will definitely be back. No pre-frozen food - just hearty ingredients and a vibe that is hard to emulate. Thanks Carriages - we will be back soon.

We’ve had mixed experiences here. Some have been excellent, particularly in summer out the back, some not so great. We came here for Sunday lunch to be told they didn’t serve it, but seems they do? And we have found some of the staff not to be particularly attentive or accommodating at times. It’s slightly higher on pricing too. Food wise, it has always been very tasty and hot.

Went there with my wife last night..not the best to be honest...wasn't going to say anything online but it seems the owner has confused us with another couple citing my wife was very rude during our visit. I would definitely not recommend this place primarily for food and untrue comments made just now against my wife. We are consistent contributors on here and like to leave honest reviews anywhere we have been. Any business has an opportunity to learn and improve but they just decided to lie and put blame on the customer. Not cool.

Left a good tip as was happy with the service...no comments whatsoever on price..would be happy to pay more for a better main. Expected a bit more...ordered pork belly...i was brought a tiny piece..no apricot purree or peach bon bon came with it..a slightly grilled (almost raw) piece of cabbage and green beans (not butter on them or anything) cost £4 extra.. hubby had a burger..was prob a better choice. Definitely not a place I would go back to based on tonight.

Great location but misses the bear pit grill taste on their food. Steaks were bland, menu limited and sides not particularly great (small portions and lacked flavour or seasoning) real shame as I used to love coming here... A lot of the specials were not available either. Unfortunately I won't be back unless it's for a drink / cocktails.

More than a five star experience! This place is a real gem, I cannot recommend it highly enough. We were visiting Knaresborough for the day and decided to pop in for lunch, what an amazing experience we had. From friendly, professional staff that greet you with a smile and a “lovely to meet you”, to unbelievable food straight from the fire pit that definitely takes real skill to prepare you can just feel the love that is poured into every bit of this business. We live an hour away and only visit the area once in a while because we like Knaresborough as a whole, but we have both agreed that we will be visiting more often so we can sample some other delights from this menu. Oh and so you all know we both had the Ox cheek and a side of crispy garlic potatoes and grilled stem broccoli and mange tout, with myself having the cheesecake and my wife having the baked pineapple for desert. All of it was just pure perfection on a plate.

After waiting 40 minutes we got a drink at the table, they got the drinks wrong. it took another 45 (over an hour since we ordered) for food to arrive. Had to ask for the side orders again, sauces for various steaks arrived eventually. Another round of drinks, very slow and incorrect. To get the attention of staff you had to either raise your voice or stand in their way. I didn’t have fork from the pile of cutlery thrown on the table and got tutted at for asking for one. When I paid they didn’t ask ‘was everything ok’? as they could clearly see it wasn’t. Not one word of apology for the poor service and barely acknowledged us as we left. Don’t even get me started on the toilets, narrow rickety stairs with a hand rail that’s coming off the wall, someone will go backwards down those stairs and the sinks were filthy, full of what looked like hair and soap slime. Luckily they’re fully booked tonight so we’ll have go somewhere else!!! All in all, absolutely diabolical. The food was ok, but not worth the £20+ per plate. Would have given less than 1 star if possible
