Cropton brewery in Ryedale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Booked the brewery tour package from Red Letter days. The tour was very informative with Josh being a fountain of knowledge and obviously loving brewing and beer. His witty remarks and low key humour really made the tour enjoyable. The beer tasting in the bar was flexible and offered a pint taken eith as a pint, two halves or a flight of 3, third pints to enable a range to be tried! Although a small brewery they have some quite advanced mechanisation for bottling, canning and casking! Very impressed,

If your looking something to do and you like Beer/Lager then this is the place to go! We arrived at the pub to a warm welcome from the host to our experience. The brewery is set at the back of the pub. We were shown around the brewery by Josh who was knowledgeable and informative. The tour lasts about an hour and is very interesting. Once done, we were able to choose a two course meal. The food was lovely and piping hot. We had starters which were unusual, the mains being traditional pub grub. We thought it was all round value for money.

We had trip to Cropton and had a great brewery tour led by Josh he was very good we learned how the brewery is made and is bottled

Great brewery tour informal and very interesting Josh was a brilliant guide explaining all the brewing and distribution processes.

Top pub! Great pub food and cheerful hospitality, more than lived up to expectations. Lovely beers and decent wine (my wife said).

This is one of my favourite places to eat. The food is so good and the beer always goes down a treat. Had steak pie with mash and veg, absolutely delicious as always

Out & about in our motor home and found the The New Inn, Cropton. A lovely cosy pub, that welcomed our dog in too. We had a delicious meal, the steak pie was the best we’ve had in a while, a nice beer and all round relaxing night. Will definitely call again. Thank you

came Xmas eve and had a meal and then bought milk as we'd forgotten to bring any to our lodge in the Forest!

that was delayed because of covid. The rooms are lovely, the food great and the beers superb. Unfortunately the brewery tour was still not available but the crate of beer we were given instead more than made up for it. The service is friendly and helpful... excellent.

Had done the brewery tour a couple of years ago so knew the quality of the ales. Back in the area on holiday, we did a walk nearby and popped in for lunch. A big shout out for the chicken, bacon, lettuce and tomatoe sandwich. I would describe it as a “club sandwich”, three layers of toasted quality brown bread with generous and tasty fillings served with proper chips. More substantial than expected and good value at £6.50. Beer needless to say excellent. Staff first class. Highly recommend.

We all decided to have a ploughman's. Cheese, bread and pickles as expected but I am not sure about the soggy tomatoes. Beer was very good. Took home quite a few bottles. Staff were very helpful and friendly. COVID arrangements very good

i cannot believe they are still selling these tours on groupon, i bought one for my wife and myself back in june and booked it back in june for the end of septmember, got confirmation etc. as we live near brighton we decided to spend a few days in the area so booked some accomadation in the area, the other day i got an e-mail stating it had been cancelled and not available till october or november, be careful here but in all honesty i would not bother

We were fit in at the last minute, the staff were very helpful and accommodated us for a meal and drinks since they'd had a cancellation. The food was hearty and tasty and the beer taster was brilliant. Definitely recommended for anyone wanting to try different beers. The staff recommend beers to your taste and encourage you to try something a bit different. Lovely country pub - we hope to return for a tour of the brewery.

I have stayed at the adjoining pub and eaten there a few times, there is a vast majority of local beers including cask and keg and the cider is good too! The food is good traditional pub food and the service is fantastic. The location is a little out of the way so a designated driver would be needed if you are tempted by the ale. All in all a good experience especially if you have the toor of the brewery.

Unable to comment on the whole range of food and drink provided, but our experience was very good indeed. Good menu selection, well-cooked food, generous portions and tasty ingredients. The beer is very good, I tried two types and both were high quality, tasty and distinctive. Wine selection is good, service was fast and friendly. Only slightly negative comment was freshness of salad, which had seen better days.

The brewery tour was a present for me and the meal came as part of the package. It was served in the bar/restaurant and was off the menu available to all. The food was hot, plentiful and well presented.

Although we had a Groupon voucher we only partook in the lunch and drinks this time. Food excellent, staff friendly, overall a pleasant way to spend a lunch time.

Squeezed in on a very busy day over the festive season for lunch. Excellent friendly service and fabulous food as always despite being very busy. Steak pie is superb and very much recommended.

Visited cropton brewery for a tour and lunch. Have to say Jane who took us on the tour was rather funny and despite not originating from Yorkshire she sure is a rite Yorkshire lass now. The tour was interesting informative and more enjoyable than other tours we've done at other breweries. Lunch afterwards was lovely, a good two course selection gif tour customers, the suet crust steak pie was Delish, and ham with perfectly cooked eggs. One little niggle though was we chose to have three courses so ordered starters from the main menu, the creamy garlic mushrooms has got to be the smallest portion I've ever seen I was quite taken aback for almost £6, I had no more than 2-3 mushrooms chopped on two very tiny & thin pieces of crostini and where was the cream because I had no creamy sauce at all. Thankfully the rest of the meal redeemed itself and the bargain of the tour lunch and gift pack means in all it really was good value. Just felt that particular starter needed a mention incase something was amiss and it came out to me unfinished.

Do pies get better than this? My mother (94) is the best pie maker in the world. Her comment....'delicious, perfectly seasoned, light and crispy crust.' Accompanied by good chips and fresh veg. As for the beer. Awesome. Tasting glasses ler you try each. And I did. Well worth a huge detour.

great place we tried it twice whilst on our holsplenty of great food on the menu and some great beer to try would defo try again and recommend to anyone passingalso if the weather is fine or you have dogs (we do) it has a great beer garden

Took my partner here for his birthday.Food ,staff tour of distillery very,very good. They must have heard me say happy birthday.When desserts came his had a lit candle in it. Made it special.

Stopped by for a bite of lunch on the way to walking the dogs. The pub is dog friendly but as the weather was good we sat in the garden. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food and beer were good. The decor is a little tired but don't let that put you off.

This tour is available using different vouchers but we booked directly.

Just got back from a fab two night stay at this lovely Pub and Brewery during which we took the Brewery tour . We received a warm and friendly welcome and found our accommodation of a good standard . We found the food and service excellent and portions were large . Bob , who took us on the Brewery tour , was very knowledgeable about the brewing process , history of brewing and the brewery it self and open to all questions which he responded to with knowledge and humour . He also proved to be an excellent host at the tasting session , again showing his extensive knowledge of all the beers on offer . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend a stay here .

Great day out. Brewery trip by Janet was excellent. Beer sampling was interesting with so many beers to choose from

Came here with a groupon. Had not expected much, was just an idea for a different day out. Janet, our guide was great, knowledgeable, interesting and engaging. Her talk drew upon history, local traditions as well as explaining the brewing process. You get a pint of beer after the tour which you can order as a pint, halves or thirds so you try more than one. Enjoyed the Moonstone and the Yorkshire Blackout. The food was well cooked, used local produce and was served in large portions. Particularly liked the smoked mackerel salad.

Had a coupon bought for the great Yorkshire brewery tour the tour through groupon as a present. Janet was very informative was very knowledgeable and amusing, had a two course meal in the pub with free pint and a gift pkt of two bottles all in all the price which I believe was around £35, was not enthused when I was given the gift but that all changed it was a great day.

Had a coupon bought for the great Yorkshire brewery tour the tour was very informative and the lady was very knowledgeable and amusing, had a two course meal in the pub with free pint and a gift pkt of two bottles all in all very good.

We visited for 2 nights as we could book our motorhome onto the car park to stay over. In spring & summer months they have a camping field next door. It's a very hilly area & the entrance to the car park is steep & winding, so may not be suitable for more than 7.5 metre motorhomes. We happily found a level area at the bottom of the car park. I wanted to go on the brewery tour so pre-booked the stopover & the tour. The staff are friendly & very welcoming. The kitchen cooks super meals, we ate on the 2 nights we stayed & had good meals both nights. Great Steak Pie! The brewery tour is well worth booking as the lady guide was brilliant, the beer is excellent & now sold overseas, but still a microbrewery. My husband worked his way throught the beers over 2 nights, all are highly recommended. They do B & B which seems very popular & it's worth booking a table in the restaurant for evening meals, but you can eat in the bar from the same menu. They do good lunches too. BTW, virtually no mobile phone signal & poor pub wifi, so you may need to go cold-turkey on your social contacts. This seems to be a good base for visiting the local beauty spots & the coast isn't far away. Dogs welcome too at £10 a night!

This is our second visit to the cropton brewery, the tour is interesting and informative with some excellent beers to sample at the end. Especially like the Yorkshire golden.

We didn't eat here but the restaurant and bar areas are nice. You can buy gift packs and tankards to take home. Will visit again and eat next time.

La nueva fábrica (Fondo Inn & Bar) a Cropton, cerca de Pickering, North Yorkshire, YO 18 8 HH.

Siendo visitantes regulares el Pickering y el área local muchas veces hemos estado en la Cropton Inn varias veces en el pasado, pero siempre coche, así que no pudimos probar las cervezas correctamente.

La cerveza en el pub tiene que ser la mejor cerveza que he probado en mucho tiempo.

Después de un buen viaje llegamos a encontrar un pub Cropton encantador con una cálida bienvenida de la visita a la fábrica fue genial seguido por una degustación de cervezas excelentes

Esto era algo que yo no he reservado, pero mi marido y yo tuvimos que compró como regalo de Navidad. Una encantadora señora nos llevó a y la excursión duró aproximadamente una hora. Fue muy interesante y ella era divertido y sabía que su personal. El único inconveniente que no podía ir a la sala de embotellado, ya tenían una nueva planta. Yo no bebo cerveza pero tengo que admitir que me dieron gusto por Yorkshire opacas - sin duda volveremos

Buena relación calidad-precio y botella de cerveza para llevar después el personal conocedor y buena información turística dado

After a 4 mile walk from Keldy forest the Crompton Brewery pub was a welcome destination.Fabulous staff and even better beer brewed on site.We didn't eat but meals looked good

Food excellent, service swift and very friendly, beers exceptionally well kept and tasty, dogs extremely welcome, car parking plenty of. Locals all very chatty. Brewery visit a must ....informative and delivered with humour. We stayed in the cottage behind so no long walks from the pub - that was excellent too. Do yourselves a favour...drop in here and take in one of Yorkshires finest Houses... we cant wait to go back and will do very soon.

We were staying in Rosedale and liked this place so much we visited two nights in a row! Great food lovely beer, staff all friendly and very helpful. Great place would recommend to anyone

Went with the girl's family (and dog) without booking. There was nothing to complain about, food and drink was amazing. Definitely will be back again!

Firstly the front of house staff were great although there was only 2 of them and the bar/restaurant was busy. The food was average and particularly let down by the presentation. Main course cottage pie was dry so thankfully there was a jug of gravy on the side. Brandy snap baskets were inedible and one of them was very burnt, the ice cream inside however was delicious. Drinks were very reasonable and the lager was superb.

Called in here for a Sunday Lunch and wasn't disappointed. Four of us had a great meal and two of us enjoyed sampling the fine brewed on the premises ales.Good food, beer and service combined to make a very enjoyable experience.

Wonderful brewery and choice of drinks. Cider. Larger. Pale ale. Beer. Something to suit everything. Very friendly staff and place to stay on the other site pub.

tried their beers in the brewery tap, the new inn. just across the car park from the brewery. excellent beerbrewery offers tours

Small brewery which produces 3million pints a year ! short tour but linked to an overnight stay it fits right in!

The half an hour brewery trip was good and informative - not a lot to see except the new stainless steel kettle and tanks but a good talk through of the process and sniff & taste of different roasted barley and types of hops.Our guide was good and she was really knowledgable cracking some jokes to break the ice The taster of the equivalent of a pint each was welcomed. The pub had a great selection of their beers to buy and you can take a selection of bottled beers away at c. £3/bottle

Me and my partner went on a brewery tour, then stopped on a couple of occasions afterwards for a drink as we enjoyed the ales so much! Interesting tour, it was nice to learn about the history of this small, but growing brewery. Included in the tour is an ale, we had 3 1/3s of a pint to sample the selection. Really good ales! I recommend trying this place!

We had the foresight to book a table for dinner on a Saturday night, and arrived to find the car park very full, and the bar and restaurant areas packed. Though we appreciated they were very busy, it took 15 minutes for us to be shown to our table, and a further 20 minutes for us to grab a waitress to take on order. We felt invisible. Very soon the chaos and rush passed, and we ate our very good food in a rapidly emptying restaurant.

The pub is completely let down by the poor decor and level of cleanliness. The only really good thing is the great choice of beer. Don't try the draft cider - it's awful. Meals are of a fair standard, good value for money but there is no decent cruet. The whole experience is out of the 70's and 80's. The chairs were damned uncomfortable and one of our party could not get his legs under the table - very awkward. The staff were friendly and helpful. It's a pity the proprietors, whoever they are, haven't pulled this pub into the 21st Century. Won't go back until they do.

We had the tour of the Brewery and learnt about the many hops that were blended in the beers The meal was excellent and we were given samples of our chosen beer to take home

Excellent brewery tour with a great lunch a choice of a couple of pints and a gift of two bottles to take home well done to the staff for a informative tour.

Regular brewery trips available around the microbrewery. Full range of their ales available (and extremely quaffable). Good pub-grub menu and some nice accommodation B&B and cottages if you want to stay over (and who wouldn't?). They even have their own beer festival (mid-November) so book up now!

Went to this place on a Thursday lunchtime at Feb half term,it's a lovely building,spotless clean.Our lunch was ok,pretty typical pub fare these days with 'flourishes' on the menus talking of 'jus' and things 'with a' that only matter to those who need to label themselves " foodies!"Our young waitress was attentive and efficient,a pleasant young lady.Now,I intend to go back in the summer for one thing and one thing only,the Yorksh lager.Any one who appreciates a gorgeous tart yet full bodied pint of beer will fall in love with this exquisite beer.I want to go and drink copious amounts of it in their lovely garden on a hot day,I can't wait!All in all its a nice place with exceptional beer and the foods not bad at all! I definitely recommend a visit.

I didn't visit the brewery myself but whilst I was there a number of people did and the phone was busy with further bookings. However there is good food and house brewed ales (inc a gluten free option), lager and cider to drink what more is there to say.

We visited one lunchtime in November using A Travelzoo voucher for 2 - £29 - which Included - a two course lunch, a brewery tour, samples of beer all described for us and a free gift of two beers of our choice. Great value! The whole experience was very well organised, the food was just great and the beer lovely! The pub itself had a homely atmosphere and seemed well suited to walkers as well as locals. I have already recommended the experience to others and will continue to do so!

Great to have food in the premises that brew their own beer. We were a larger group. The pub is next to the brewery and hosts brewery tours. We were on one. So space can be limited in the main pub. That said they have a room at the rear of the building were you can assemble and eat. All we had were sandwiches, scampi and soup . The soup was average, the scampi very good and the beef sandwich good. One person taking our order was not super friendly. Suggest also she stands at the middle of a long table instead at the end to take orders.

We were bought a red letter day visit to the brewery and were not disappointed. It was a lovely brewery experience by very friendly and knowledgeable staff followed by a lovely meal and beer tasting - would definitely recommend

We stayed next door on a Caravan site, and walked to the Pub for a Beer. The food looked so good we could not resist ordering the Steak and Ale pie. The Yorkshire beers brewed at the rear and sold world wide as well, where really very different, and great flavours from all of them all. Stayed around 4 Days and went their every day even went round the brewery,GREAT>

With outstanding Yorkshire beer brewed on site and friendly bar staff what's not to like. We tried the Yorkshire Classic beer and were not disappointed.

Interesting tour followed by a super tasting session Three beers, a third of a pint per person at end of tour and great detail given.

We stayed here for one night using a Red Letter Days voucher. Location is lovely - quiet, rural. Building/decor is dated and rustic. Rooms are very much in need of an upgrade but they are clean and comfortable. Great choice of beers and the food was excellent (very good restaurant standard). The evening we stayed was glorious so we spent several hours happily sitting in the beer garden and enjoying our meal. Breakfast was fairly basic and the breakfast room felt a bit grubby.

We popped in as we were staying nearby. Pleasantly surprised. Various restaurant rooms and bar areas. Very welcoming. We sat outside in the garden. You should try the Yorkshire cider which was great. Some of the party tried a variety of local brewed ales some they liked and others not so much, but this will be down to personal taste. Great service. We didn't eat but what we saw being served looked nice.

I took my kids here for a meal the staff were great, the food was excellent, we ate in the conservatory which was very quiet which suited me well as lone of my children is Autistic and he was very happy here, not crowded or noisy. Good value as one of the kids meals was free with my meal. Only down side is that he kids main courses are small so my eldest who is 12 and not big for his age could have eaten more. Other than that it was great and I would go again.

Dropped in for Sunday lunch and had a wonderful beef roast, carved from a joint and not that cheap catering muck. Served with a generous bowl of seasonal vegetables and a huge Yorkshire pudding. Rounded off the meal with a pudding (home made) and coffee. I would definitely eat there again. P.s the ale is cracking too.

We called for lunch at the weekend and were surprised at how few diners there were. The food was average and the price, whilst not excessively expensive, was not value for money. For some reason the bowl of vegetables had salt sprinkled over it. Should you like salt, then I'm sure you could have managed this task yourself. We won't rush back.

Really good ale was driving so only had one but a great choice . We had a meal in the bar at The New Inn in front of the brewery ( please note map location is a little off . Search for The New Inn).The food was proper pub food but everything we had was home made and perfectly cooked .I had the steak pie which had light pastry on top and lots of filling my girlfriend had fish which was also good . You should not be hungry when you leave!

We booked a brewery trip via Travelzoo & we were welcomed warmly. We decided to eat first then have the tour. Limited tour menu of Steak pie in beer, Whitby Scampi or veggie option -the Steak pie is fantastic packed with juicy steak & the Scampi was the best tasted so far!. Starters & puds were good & service was efficient & friendly. After the tour each couple had a pint taster (in either pint/1/2's or 1/3rds to ensure you could taste their range & 3 bottles to take home. The only downside was that no bottles of the Yorkshire cider (to die for) & the Yorkshire Blackout (ditto) were available due to take up or being sold out so we were disappointed & this stopped the New Inn from being an excellent. The village is also delightful & worth taking an amble around. We will definitely return if only to sample the above once again!.

Decided to sit outside as it was very warm. The garden was very busy but we were able to find a large table. We ordered 6 meals and sipped our ale as we waited. The homemade pie was excellent, packed full of tender beef. The fish and chips were very good, crispy batter and mushy peas. Overall, good service and excellent food.

My grandparents, my daughter and I visited the New Inn for an evening meal on our way back to our cabin in Cropton. Upon arrival we realised that all service areas (bar etc) were upstairs. As my grandparents couldn't manage the stairs I asked if we could be seated downstairs. This was not a problem and staff made every effort to make us welcome. I was expecting 'typical pub food' but got a meal far above this. The lamb I had was mouthwatering and we all commented on how tasty the food was. In summary, fast friendly service made for a great visit !

My wife and two friends visited the New Inn Cropton village for a meal and was dissapointed .We ordered their beef burger which came with salad and a small bowl of chips for £9.99.This being the cheapest on the menue.!!The meal was served on a straight slab of wood approx 12 inches long by 6 inch wide by 1 inch thick and looked like dark pine also with a handle carved out at tbe end.This made the organising of the food a bit difficult to say the least.I hope it was well washed as the food came directly in contact with it apart from the chips which came in a round bowl . Not very confidence inspiring as that type of surface can hide all manner of germs in the grain and needs to be steamed clean at the very least.The burger was tastless although filling and was quite large. There was also some straggly lettuce to compliment it.The bar offered a good range of micro brewery ales but being a guiness drinker didnt inspire me.All in all the pub was quaint but needed a bit of TLC .Staff were pleasant ,service was good .Would I revisit for a meal no The general prices were too high for the value of what was on offer . My over all impression for the food a definite average .

We tried the 'Taster' tray and went on to partake a pint of each. Not bad, at all. Very coy interior and pleasant beer garden. Strange thing was, we spoke to some of the brewers.........One of whom was drinking white wine !!!

Great choice for real ale drinkers. Food pretty good too although serving times are quite restricted. Dog friendly too!

Didn't get on a brewery tour - it was full up - Ring first if you think of going.It didn't matter though. A good range of beers brewed on site and excellent pub style food with a bit of imagination. nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Plenty of parking.

Me and my fiance were given a red letter days night away for Christmas, we decided to spend it at the New Inn at cropton.It was as expected a lovely little country pub, the rooms were clean and had all the amenities expected plus some nice extras.As part of the package was a three course meal, we both loved it, food was cooked perfectly and the service was friendly and very competent. We had a drink in the pub afterwards now this would not be great for people who don't like dogs but it was lovely to see man's best friend enjoying a night out with their parents.The breakfast in the morning was hearty and the woman serving us was again as friendly as the servers the evening before and couldn't so enough for us, she obviously enjoys her job.When it came to paying our tab we noticed an extra drink that we hadn't had. But this was removed without argument.We are thinking of going again maybe next year and spending a couple of nights there

Bit disappointing really after the reviews expected more. Service not great and it wasn't that full. Priced a bit expensive for what you got. Probably a great brewery tour though.

Went for meal 24th May Sunday evening. I had roast pork which was a nice cut of meat but lacked any trimmings such as stuffing or apple sauce, friend had Barnsley chops which she said were chewy. Selected vegetables consisted of 3/4 mashed potato with small portion of broccoli and red cabbage. Husband said good choice of real ales. Wouldn't rush to go back.

What a fantastic time we had. Great lunch and a great brewery tour! The food was great, the staff extremely friendly and the brewery tour was very informative plus great beer tasting afterwards. They make the most fantastic ciders as well

Had a lovely bank hol weekend here, with a 2 night stay. Great food, nice room, and the staff were REALLY great, but deserving a particular mention (sorry I didn't get names) is the lovely, friendly, funny, cheerful blonde Polish lady in the restaurant who couldn't do enough for you, and the dark haired ,pregnant lady behind the bar who was really pleasant, friendly and approachable, and happy to have a bit chat . The weather was great, which I know (I think???) Isn't controlled by the New Inn, but we were able to take full advantage of the weather as the beer garden is gorgeous, a little paradise, with a bit to one side, heavily planted, and with a pond full of fish and tadpoles, which someone has very thoughtfully put an exit route into, in the form of a plank, to allow frogs or anything else that falls in to get out. The birds use it to drink too. I love that someone cared enough to do that :-) We saw 13 species of bird in the beer garden Inc green finches and goldfinches, a benefit of such a rural location (and an available watersource no doubt) The meal we had was lovely, with the most tender steak I've possibly ever had in my life, (10 oz rump, possibly ever so slightly less cooked than I like, (I'm fussy) but not so much that it made a difference to my enjoyment of it) and the chips are proper chips, not just fried oven chips.The breakfast too was very nice, and they allowed substitution of items on the breakfast menu , which, as a diabetic, I was extremely grateful for, being able to substitute carbohydrate loaded fried bread for another egg instead. There is WiFi available, although in our room it was somewhat unreliable, but we were still able to use Netflix on the laptop, although we did sometimes have trouble connecting. There was no phone signal, but again we were able to use WiFi for internet (except in the beer garden) even if we had to try a couple of times. You were able to get out during the night too, even though most of the pub was alarmed after 12- good peace of mind for guests- great for smokers like myself, although INCREDIBLY noisy floorboards put me off a bit! (Still not much can be done about that short of replacing the floors!) The brewery tour was really interesting, and ably conducted by Ian, who knew what he was talking about and took the time to answer questions, with opportunity to see and smell the raw ingredients (in sample tubs, we didn't stick our fingers in the beer!) One of the workers on the floor stopped as he was passing to show us the pelleted form of the hops they use, (as opposed to the whole form of hops in the demonstration tubs) which I thought was really good of him, and showed once again the staff are genuinely interested in making it a good experience for visitors, instead of just ignoring us as he got on with his work. Even though there were only the two of us on this particular tour, we felt we got the full experience, and there were no awkward silences :-) However no review would be complete without the beer. Ian said they don't make a 'bad' beer, and boy was he right. We tried them all, with the exception of chocolate orange, which foolishly, despite being warned how fast it sells out, we waited until the next day to try, by which time it had sold out. The 'Two Chefs' was a perfect summer drink ,very different from what I've had elsewhere, made with lemon hops and honey, light, crisp and fragrant, yet with a complex flavour it was possibly my favourite.But it vies for first place with Blackout which was also fantastic, and very different from what I've tasted elsewhere. Rich and chocolatey, it had hints of Tia Maria and coffee, but was surprisingly easy to drink. I also tried the cider (think cider lollies, it was gorgeous -another summer drink, chilled, but which I suspect would be equally good mulled in winter)It's possibly the best cider I've ever tasted, and I go on holiday to Somerset every year!!! I also tried Monkmans Slaughter, Yorkshire Golden, Yorkshire red lager, Yorkshire Lager, Yorkshire classic and Lavender Blonde, all of which were delicious, with the Lager, Red, Golden and Classic all being what I would describe as a excellent session beers. My main complaint , albeit a minor one, is that, despite the Yorkshire and England flags flying outside, and it being the 'Great Yorkshire Brewery' the Tea and Coffee making facilities had TETLEY tea bags; Yorkshire tea is the best -I don't live or work in Yorkshire, but I drink Yorkshire tea; I know people at work who will go without, and even people who have never spoken to me before will beg a teabag sometimes, (I ALWAYS have a box in my drawer)despite us having actually pretty good free tea and coffee machines.I know Tetleys started in Yorkshire, but it's still not Yorkshire tea. Tetleys is for Tea heathens ;-P Change it to Yorkshire Tea to keep the experience complete and educate the palates of the unenlightened:-) Overall, a must do. Would I go back? In a heartbeat. Will I go back? Definitely. Probably before the year is out.

I bought this tour for my hubby's 50th. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were greeted and had all the details of our voucher explained. We then ordered our main courses, we both chose the steak and ale pie, which was superb! This was followed by lovely desserts, a treacle pudding and a whiskey bread and butter pudding, absolutely delicious. We were then taken on our tour with a very humorous young man. This was followed by some taste testers of the different beers made by the brewer. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and plan to visit again and possibly stay over so we can sample some more of this fine beer. Highly recommend.

Second visit to Cropton! Delicious food, great menu and lovely beer (cider, wine, spirits also available).

We went on a trip to Whitby and on the way decided to drop by The New Inn for Lunch. We were hungry. Always, in the past, the food has been excellent. We made the wrong decision. I had Barnsley chop. There was obviously a lot of bone and what meat there was needed an axe to get through it. The carrots were warm but old and not cooked and they took some hacking to cut through. My husband ordered belly pork. It looked tasty, but it was like eating string and tasteless. The little apple something pie thing that was with it was surely meant for a pudding, far too sugary! The bubble and squeak was grey and soggy without much squeak. Oh dear, we will not be going there again for a long, long time. Waste of money and time. What happened to the lovely food they used to do? The only redeeming feature was that my husband says the beer was good.

We had a lovely meal at the New Inn at Cropton. There is a decent range of starters, mains and desserts are very good prices. This is enhanced by the excellent beers brewed at the rear of the pub ... And you can take home gift sets of your favourite ales.The bar staff ans waitress are very friendly. This pub is well worth a visit at any time of the week.

This is the second time we have visited this pub for food. The service was good, the food of good quality and well cooked and we all enjoyed the beers. Great place.

We booked a table at the pub on the Saturday 21st March in the evening, we were a party of 8 and due to the ll ub being busy were sat in the conservatory area.The conservatory was great, with another large party eating so the atmosphere was great.Everybody ordered starters and mains with a few opting for desserts too. The food was great everbody really enjoyed their meals, my wife and I got the treacle tart and clotted cream to share which was divine.We will definitely be going back, the staff were great really friendly and a laugh. We have been before and can't fault it.....also amazing beers, I think I tried every one they had during the weekend we were in Cropton with the Lavender Blonde and the good old Chocolate Orange my favorites!

The Brewery Tours are a great way to find out about tyhe skills of beer making. Highly recommended, especially if you manage to get a voucher deal. The opportunity to sample the various brews is an added bonus. The New Inn Pub attached to the brewery also serves very hearty meals.

Recently visited for a lunch and tour deal. Very welcoming staff, the food was lovely and the tour was really interesting. Came home armed with beer gifts. Highly recommended to all beer lovers!

We booked a tour around the brewery and was very surprised at how large it is. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. We all enjoyed choosing and tasting our complimentary drinks at the end of the tour. Well worth a visit.

I booked an overnight brewery tour through Red Letters Days and I cannot recommend this place highly enough.The surrounding countryside was a great start, the Yorkshire countryside is a truly beautiful place.Upon arrival we had a drink in the bar and then met the rest of the group on the brewery tour which is on the premises. The tour was interesting, informative and fun.We then went back our room which was nice, clean and very charming.We also had an evening meal onsite in the restaurant as well as the breakfast in the morning, the food was excellent, the service was great and overrule I was very impressed with the place.Overall I would recommend this place, its a great relaxing and indulgent treat!

Part of our package at the New Inn . Guide excellent . Informative and entertaining . Beer sampling in bar fun . Beers excellent and a good range

We stayed at the cottage owned by the pub - just across the car park. Great, warm, clean accomodation. Private garden was ideal for the dog. Great food in the pub. Wide selection of food on offer at breakfast. Cooked breakfast set us up for the day. Great service from all the staff. A table set up in the residents lounge to enable us to bring our dog with us at breakfast. Other meals taken in the bar, again dog friendly. Amazing meat pie - you must try it if you visit. Stayed 3 nights and did the brewery tour. Very informative about the beer and the beer tasted great - wide range of options of beer. Did not manage to try them all!!!Will be visiting again. Would really recommend.

We booked the brewery tour and Mike the tour guide was fantastic, informative, knowledgeable and amusing and obviously has his heart in the job, thanks Mike! Very good value, great food, huge portions of freshly cooked good quality food. All staff friendly under great pressure, poor lass behind the bar was taking food orders, pulling pints, changing the barrel, answering the phone and still smiling! Highly recommend the brewery tour, great beer, and good hearty food, we'll be back again!

Great Tour guide full of information fantastic food most importantly the beer was amazing all in all Great day I recommend it to all !

Attended the brewery tour, and found it fascinating! Really well presented! As well as this we had a Valentine's meal, again brilliant! Food was lovely, and staff were kind, attentive, just right! Good prices too! Will return!

Myself and my wife stopped here on Friday 13th Feb. We had a brewery tour, 3 course meal stopped in a 4 poster bed and had a full breakfast. I cannot fault the brewery or pub, all of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food and beer were both fantastic and would definitely recommend a visit!

very informative and staff very friendly. mike the tour guide very informative and enthusiastic.Worth a visit and the beers are definitely worth a taste!!!!!

Good selection of ales at good prices but would be better if 5 litre kegs were available. The bottle packs could also have more variety but the quality is there.

Its very interesting and you get to try the beers for FREE!! The beers are very unique and the tour lasts for about one hour.

Well worth a visit.In this friendly village pub nothing was too much trouble, the food and drink was lovely the staff couldn't do enough for you.Very friendly and would go back again.
