Ferguson Fawsitt Arms in East Riding of Yorkshire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Food lovely at a function room nicely decorated

Food not very hot and service slow

I felt rushed and harassed by the staff. I knew after I booked that it was only a two hour slot, which we were all disappointed about , as when we go out for a meal we like to take our time, especially as my husband is severely disabled and needs to rest in between courses. I asked the waitress to wait a while till we were ready to order, but one came up then the other did, then the chap came and asked us, one of the waitresses actually said we will have to leave soon making us feel rushed, even though there was plenty of time, and there was loads of empty tables. I found the Sunday lunch very bland actually and left most of it, my husband said he didn’t like his meal much and didn’t want to Come back to the pub again. So unfortunately because both the time scale we were allowed and also the meals were not as good as we expected, we will not be attending the pub again.

We had lunch here which was delicious. Lovely lunch menu. We both had the meat pie as a Lite Bite, there was plenty, carrots, peas and the best proper chips I have had in a pub. The meat was tender and tasty with lovely thick grave. Definitely will be back.

Lovely location, nice drinks but the service wasn't the best. I got asked to walk around to the other bar when I was 2nd in the queue when I went to the other bar I was served by the same bar person. Not organised and was made to feel I was an inconvenience rather than a paying customer

Popped in after the Walkington 10k. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Lovely food and good atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff.

Just went for coffee and cake did intend stopping for lunch but didn't make it will definitely return good menu

Had Sunday lunch here. Excellent, plenty of perfectly cooked food, with some good beers on tap.

Easy to book online. Plenty of parking at the rear. Warm friendly welcome from young waiting staff. Efficient service. Excellent menu with lots of dietary options. Delicious food and pleasant seating areas.

Lovely lunch with the family, got served quiye quickly bearing in mind was a Saturday. Quite big portions on the main meals! Would go back again.

Great Food served with a smile. Had the giant yorkshire pudding with steak pie. Full of beef, shortcrust pastry & thick gravy. Yorkshire pudding was tasty too. Will return next time in the area.

Well presented, great service, historic building, old style pub and restaurant. Dog and child friendly. Highly recommended.

One of 3 pubs within easy walking distance within our village. Having attended a comminity arts event in the pub the previous week and stopped for a quick beer before walking home we decided to call in for our evening meal. Simple pub fayre of Scampy and chips, and large skinless haddock and chips, were our choices. Freshest fish I've had for a while. Above all, a great selection of hand pimped ales available - although we git no further than the Black Sheep. We'll try the other options over the next few weeks. My friends and relatives who live nearer London will gasp at the price we paid per pint ....£4.00.

The food was excellent, service second to none nice location

Great pub food at a good price !

Poor quality of food - tasteless vegan curry. Too many staff chatting and not serving - was not asked if we wanted a dessert or coffees so left without either. Far too hot inside to eat in any kind of comfort. Staff constantly popping to cleaning / cake serving area to eat or check mobile phones. Dustpan and brush put on cake counter top during last visit ! Would prefer long hair to be tied up not just back whilst serving food. Toilets are always dirty with poorly fitted seats.

Good food and lovely staff. Beautiful clean pub. However, it would be better to take orders at the table as the bar gets busy with drinks orders. Only moan it was really hot in the pub no open fire or anything. Windows didn't open, so couldn't cool down so had to go outside.

Great food friendly staff definitely will go back 👍

Really enjoyed our visit, the cask beer was excellent and great choice to include local Great Newsome beer. Our lunch was superb, I had home made steak pie and home made chips which was definitely the best I have had for a long time, my daughter had the fish which was also excellent. We were luckily enough to attend on the last day of the beer festival and had the chance to sample an extensive choice of local beers too. Service was great and friendly and the establishment was spotlessly clean. Great traditional surroundings too. Highly recommended a visit, we will be back soon too.

It's a top pub for local ales and fantastic home made food. All the staff are really friendly. If you've stumbled across this review looking for somewhere to go, this IS the place.

Tasty food and great service. Calm atmosphere.

Fantastic Pub. Lovely atmosphere and great food. The staff are friendly and service fantastic. Highly recommend.

Very nice atmosphere and the staff were very friendly

The most dog friendly pub we’ve ever visited - we liked it so much we went two days in a row. Food and service were top notch with a great variety of vegetarian options. Sam the Labrador was well impressed

One of the nicest fish and chips I've had in a long time. The portion was really generous and the fish was beautiful. Me and my friend both really enjoyed our chips well. It was also great to see lots of gluten free options available! I will definitely be returning.

Took a friend for afternoon tea. The food was delicious. The service & staff were exceptional. Would definitely recommend. Far too much to eat & they gave us boxes to take home the food we didn't eat. As much tea or coffee that we wanted. Well look after. A lovely birthday treat

We held a 50th birthday party here. The room looked great, the food was lovely and the service from all the team was amazing. Would highly recommend as a party venue and for just drinks and food.

Very pleasant, nice staff, good food, enjoyed the whole experience will definitely go again

Very friendly staff, good food, good beer. Dog friendly in the bar area

Had the steak and ale pie inside a Yorkshire pudding. Everything about the meal was made fresh on site and you can tell. Was absolutely delicious. Top pub food this place.

Fabulous tasty well cooked food. Exceptional service.

Just had a lovely family meal today. Food good service good and atmosphere good so 5 stars for us.

Staff and service excellent, but our meals where cold, I had a starter goats cheese tartlet that looked like it had been popped in a toaster on high, main was chicken Kiev not much better, veg and mash on the side was cold couldn’t eat it, my husbands meal much the same again cold, his liver starter was plenty and hot, this place was highly recommended but sadly we won’t be returning

We live in Walkington and come here alot. The food and staff are always amazing. Cosy pub with great atmosphere. Would highly recommend this place.

Went for a meal 50% to eat out in August. Was visiting the area so took my mum. Booked a table for 7.30pm earlier in the day. Ordered Haddock fish cakes with dill and spinach. My partner ordered Tomato and Goats cheese tart with beetroot and leaves.30 mins later starters arrived. Fish cakes were v small and barely a hint of fish let alone smoke haddock! Tomato and goats cheese tart was thin mainly pastry and no beetroot! My partner asked for some beetroot, they apologised and removed the starter. 20 mins later a young waitress was seen running back from the shop with the beetroot!! My partner said don’t bother with a fresh starter as we had eaten ours and we had waited an hour in total. They apologised and said that our drinks would be complimentary. After another 20 mins and still no mains we gave up and decided to leave!! My partner is a chef and definitely not fussy but he wasn’t confident about what the main meals would be? We had ordered sea bass, seafood stew and chicken Kiev! They were again very apologetic and the waitresses appreciated what we were saying- clearly not enough staff. Very disappointed- we won’t return!

We are staying nearby on our first visit to Yorkshire. Jumped into this pub with my wife, 2 daughters and family pooch for a bite to eat. Place was immaculate... very clean and service was excellent.Great value and food was made fresh and nothing was any trouble for the waitress and manager. They even made a plain cheese sandwich for our kids as they weren’t that hungry. We will be back!

The only thing better than the food is the service! Great to see somewhere really working hard to keep people safe during the pandemic. Really accommodating with our dog, again great service from all the staff.

The food here is great quality at a very reasonable price.All served in a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. New covid rules are adhered to and we felt very safe. Though these rules haven't ruined the ambiance!Hats off to the Ferguson Fawsitt - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Super pub with great food, a menu that changes regularly with fresh produce and friendly staff. Great selection of drinks and the Sunday roast is the best around!

We spent three nights there during a storm waiting for a boat to head back to Europe and we had a great time. We slept very good and ate as good as we slept all the workers were very nice especially the Italian waiter at the restaurant in the evening. A very funny guy who was very nice to all the customers. Would definitely recommend this place, whether to stay for one night or more. Even as a simple restaurant for breakfast or supper. Definitely worth giving it a go .

Had a lovely home delivery last night. My husband is a Coeliac and the team at the Fergie were able to adapt the order to meet his needs - we even got some lovely gluten free cakes. The food was excellent, great value for money and delivered safely to our house at the specified time. Thank you to everyone at the Fergie for providing such a valuable service to the village during these challenging times.

We had a lockdown takeaway delivered to our door - excellent food. Some of us had fish and chips and others pizza we all really enjoyed it and it is great value. They can't be making money at this price but it is a great service to the village. So impressed to hear that they deliver a free meal to vulnerable villagers everyday - real community spirit. We have always enjoyed meals at the Fergie and we will be making extra efforts to support them when they are allowed to open again

I had a roast dinner delivered from the Fergie's new takeaway service, and was really impressed with the quality, portion sizes and lovely desert included. Great community spirit from the pub in a difficult time, and really wonderful to hear they've been delivering free lunches to vulnerable locals.

Really like idea of supporting local people so used the service. lasagna was a strange texture it didn’t feel or taste like mince meat not sure what they used. garlic bread was simply oil rubbed on a baguette which was a disappointment but the salad was nice. I would order again but if the standard wasn’t like the normal food they serve I don’t think I would continue to order.

As regulars of the Fergie we were really pleased that they had a takeaway option during this awful situation we find ourselves in. Chicken Bhuna for both of us and SO nice and tasty.Well done to Mike and the staff there and a big thumbs up for what they're doing for those at risk in our Village.Keep up the good work guys

The ideal base for a visit to East Yorkshire, based in the lovely well served (by pubs) village of Walkington. Very helpful and welcoming staff. Accommodation in a separate building so no noise from pub. Comfortable, large rooms with good shower area, highly recommended. Sadly didn’t have time to eat in pub, but breakfast (all part of the very reasonable price was excellent

We asked if we could arrive earlier than the 14.00hrs check in time. No problem the room will be ready by the time you arrive ( we were travelling 150 miles ) we arrived about 12.25hrs the room was ready and house staff in the lodge was really helpful. We made our way to reception and there was a nice little cafe did a nice sandwich and coffee. The room was quite big very clean and lovely and warm. There was a bath/ shower toilet and marble top with basin inset. Breakfast my wife had continental breakfast,I had the full English everything was made fresh and was superb I asked for poached eggs spot on. A really good place to stay.

Family get together! Great service and lovely food! Room was a little dark but ambience was good. Staff very friendly and most attentive and accommodating. An enjoyable Sunday lunch

Stay and dine deal, if we hadn't had the deal which included a 30 pound dinner voucher then the meal was not worth 60 pound. The meal was still very nice. Pub cosy but clothes smelt of soot from fires. Room stayed in had been freshly painted from the smell and signs . Bed comfy, shower hot, room clean and tidy.

A very enjoyable evening meal at reasonable prices .

lovely staff, food good, lovely decoration well worth it only complaint music to loud during meal could do to have been in the background

Four of us has Sunday lunch here - 3 sirloin of beef and one steak pie The beef was very good and nice and pink, veggies were great and yorkshire puds ok but a little soft The mash and roast potatoes however were awful and did not taste fresh at all Also the general consensus was that for just short of £15 there should have been more than one slice of beef

Just visited this place and it was not a good visit.

Met friends fir Christmas meetup in this lovely pub. The setting is very cosy, a really great place.

good food, good service, plenty of it , soft beds a very good breakfast with the beer reasonable priced & very drinkable

A family lunch out. A lovely atmosphere and background music. Friendly staff. Food delicious we had only sandwiches and chips, drinks and then coffee. Recommend it. The cafe is dog friendly while the pub is free of dogs.

Had dinner with friends. Whilst the physical service was very acceptable, certain other factors were less so. There seemed to be less customers than some months ago; the dinner menu was rather sparse, we waited some 40 minutes for our 1st course, and my pork was minute & rather fatty & accompanied by under cooked white vegetables - which was a pity as my colleagues enjoyed their meat pie & curry. Also, the prices had increased significantly. Management have obvious food, price & ambience competition from a very nearby pub diner with a more comprehensive menu, hence one suggests an urgent revamp & implementation of previous competitive advantages.

Lovely looking place but dogs only allowed in coffee shop area, not the most friendly pub.such a shame, would have made it our local for our two weeks in Beverley, seemed very disjointed being barred to the area next to pub and any activity.

We had a family get together lunch at the Fergie - lovely food and very obliging. I love risotto but don't like blue cheese so the made it with a different cheese for me, my partner had wood pigeon, it looked stunning and he was really pleased with it. Couldn't resist the steak and ale pie for mains, probably the best steak pie I have ever had just such a large portion! My daughter chose a sandwich and it arrived with homemade crisps! Not many pubs that go to that trouble. The staff are all very obliging, and the prices were reasonable. We will definitely be back

Excellent. Staff very welcoming, accommodation very comfortable, clean and homely. Breakfast outstanding. Will definitely stay again. Thank you for a lovely weekend😊

Sadly not as expected. The roast potatoes tasted like they had been cold and re heated or left out on a warming plate. The Sirloin very chewy and not cooked fully too red. The veggies over seasoned with whatever they have put on them. On a positive note the coffee was nice hot and tasty. Not as previous visits dissapointing.

Both my wife and my family went for the Sunday Lunch menu at the Ferguson and Fawsitt and were very pleased with the food. Staff pleasant and professional all together a pleasant experience

we had an amazing Sunday roast and beautiful dessert to follow worth every penny not a complaint in sight :))

Parked in the car park and signs made it clear we could not use the doors nearest the car park but that we had to walk right round to the front of the building. Nothing like it used to be.Very uninviting interior with a mash of rooms including a tea room ( which we could have entered through).

Greeted with an old ‘Italian’ man saying have you booked - place deserted - 2 tables in including us - limited menu - left over sunday roast- which the other table sent back - and salads which I prefer - well no Salmon salad - but chicken @ bacon - well no bacon and as for the chicken raw or over cooked 2 pieces - feel so sorry for yet again new Manager - they need a Chef - Manager really great

A delicious steak pie. I am still thinking about it and am glad I chose this place to have lunch with a friend today. The pie was just perfect. We enjoyed every mouthful. I shall be bringing other friends to experience this delightful meal. Thank you all.

We loved this pub. Great food, all freshly prepared in the premises. All the meals were delicious and the service was excellent.

Very disappointed. Service was really good, the only positive from our visit. Out Table was in a small dark corner, next to a window that didn’t open, there wasn’t any fans in the room, it was as very hot and stuffy. I ordered a salad and asked for it without oil, when it came it was covered in a mustard dressing, that wasn’t listed on the menu so it had to be sent back. Very small portions. Whilst we were eating our meal we realised other people were eating meals we hadn’t seen in the menu. After looking at the website we realised we hadn’t been given the Bar menu only the Restaurant and Salad menus. Expensive for pub food.

£13 for a beef burger & "triple cooked chips"

Went for evening meal,nice food but not enough sauce with the meals and the salads were poor,one cherry tomato and a bunch of salad leaves with one boiled egg. Definitely overpriced and lots of local competition.

I guess a *** review might be disappointing to some but I found this to be a decent pub fair.

Had a family meal, had beer battered fish which was beautiful. Lovely place to stop by and have something to eat.

Ordered Steak and Chips, Steak was cooked to perfection only disappointment was the chips however were over cooked, hard and tasted of beef dripping not potatoes! The service was first class the staff very accommodating well worth a visit

Just been for Sunday lunch at this gem of a restaurant. It was fabulous. A choice of chicken, rump of lamb, sirloin of beef or a nut roast. I had the rump of lamb that was cooked to perfection. My partner had the beef and also agreed it was lovely. All fresh vegetables and home made giant Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes. I highly recommend and will definitely be back very soon

Great food amazing staff loved the red cabbage so much I asked for the recipe xx thanks for making us feel special x

Since it’s refurb back in 2015 this has been our families go to pub, I couldn’t rate it highly enough. Great food, good service and welcoming atmosphere. Our last visit was disappointing the first time in 3 yrs we felt this - giving it another chance recently standards have slipped even further. No atmosphere, staff inefficient and food below standard. Sadly we won’t be rushing back. Come on Fergy pull yourselves together!

Waited 40 mins for a panini I could understand if it was busy but it wasn't,was going to have a dessert but didn't fancy another long wait

2nd time in a few months we have been and we loved it again, hearty portions, proper Yorkshire puds, crispy roasts and superb slab of beef. My only complaint was that the waiter never asked if we wanted any condiments such as sauce etc.I couldn't east dessert but my other half had chocolate pudding with a rich chocolate sauce and thought it was fab,

We, a family of four adults and two children under two and a half booked a table for 12 o'clock so that the toddler could eat early. When we arrived we were met with a lukewarm waiter who couldn't even see the booking sheet. We chose our options quickly and asked the waiter if we could order straight away because of the toddler. He took our order. Forty minutes later the food had not appeared and when asked the same waiter said that they were waiting for the nut roast to cook. I said that the toddler was hungry and could the other meals be served. He said that it would only be five minutes and that they all had to come out together. The food eventually arrived 20 minutes later. The food was lukewarm and the portion of steak pie was very small compared to our previous visits. We had the impression that the management/ ownership had changed. We won't be hurrying back.

Visited the Fergie with my Mum, Sister and Aunt after pre-booking our table. I opted for sausage and mash while my family all had burgers. Delicious food enjoyed by all. Puddings were fab, we all had ice cream which was delicious. What a lovely afternoon with fab food and good banter with the friendly waiting staff. We will definitely be returning.

Excellent meal in typical english pub surroundings , with some unusual and tasty beers to sample, we will be returning soon.

Just been for a late lunch on good Friday. We ordered from the main menu, starter main and sweet. Lovely food and good service it was cooked well and you can tell it’s fresh it certainly isn’t microwaved. Choc Sunday was lovely with hot sauce. Worth the first time visit and we will be going again.

We moved into this area about 10 months ago and came across the Ferguson Fawsitt when travelling into Beverley. We thought we would call in and give it a try . We were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious, staff were efficient and polite, so we revisited several times and it was always good.

Cosy pub with a nice sounding menu.

Stopped in on the way back from Beverley as a place to grab the kids some lunch, also for me to grab a decent coffee.

We popped into the Fergie for lunch today in Eliza's Cafe and had a lovely time. It is maybe the third or fourth time I have been, a couple of times just for a coffee and once for breakfast. All times have been a nice experience.

We were passing through the town and stopped for lunch. Had an excellent Ham and Cheese Pannini and a Bacon Brie and Cranberry Pannini. Both were of excellent quality and served with an attractive assortment if salad and crisps. We ordered Steak chips to go with it which were excellent home made chips! Well worth a visit.

Went with family as daughter and son in law had been twice before and really enjoyed the food. The food was excellent, well presented and all five of us were very happy with our meals. The staff were young and would benefit from a bit of training, however they were very polite, friendly and attentive and when asked a couple of questions they went and found out the answers. I would have no hesitation in visiting again.

“A warm welcome” as stated in the CAMRA discription.

me and my family attended on Sunday, we went to the bar to order drinks, this is where it all went down hill. The lady behind the bar clearly didn't want to be there, she just sat on the step behind the bar and ignored us, we must of been stood there for a good 2 minutes or so before a lovely young lady came and apologised that we'd been waiting and explained she just putting an order through and then she would be with us. With this the other lady stood up and said "What do you want?", i'm sorry but that is no way to speak to paying customers especially went you spent the whole time sat there with a face like a slapped ar*e. Later on when we went to pay at the bar she was having some sort of argument with the same lady that originally served us and it was kind of embarrassing, firstly you don't speak to people like that as the way she spoke to her was disgusting and secondly if you've got a problem wouldn't you rather do it in private?

We visited with friends, for a pre Christmas evening meal. The four of us had a sharing ploughman’s platter to start, which included one small piece of bread. We asked for more, and two more pieces were given to us. This platter is probably intended for two people, so I would have still expected to get at least 4 pieces of bread.

Superb food , excellent service , value for money , first visit to Fergies for years and we will certainly be back regularly , far better than the hotel we usually frequent for Christmas , we are a bit demanding as we require gluten free catering , absolutely no problem here , a nice touch are the huge jugs of iced water on the table with lemon and absolutely loads of vegetables and gravy , couldn’t fault it

Met up with family for a pre Christmas get together and had an very nice lunch. We were a group of 12 and were looked after very well with all the food arriving at the same time. No one had any complaints about the food and the fish cake starter and steak pie main course I ordered were delicious. No room for dessert unfortunately!

We booked a table and arrived in good time. They took us to a table that was uneven and we had to put beer mats under the legs to stop it rocking.

I first visited for my birthday last year with family and found that the food was excellent, as well as the service. However, I found on my most recent visit that the service was incredibly poor, luckily the food was still delicious! It’s just a shame that the service was below the standard that I would’ve liked, they were late getting our table ready, and just seemed miserable the entire night. Their responses were blunt (not only to us but I noticed to other tables and their complaints), and that’s if they even decided to reply, as most of the time they just walked away. One waiter took our empty glasses before our meal had come and didn’t even offer to get us more, when we asked we were left waiting before anyone came to take our order for the drinks.

We chose this hotel because of the good reviews, but our experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived in the very dark car park, (the lights had not been switched on) the ground was uneven and the white paint on the steps had almost worn away. So we had a hazardous walk to the pub entrance! After booking in we went to our room which was fine, but when we returned at eight to get a meal we were told that food finishes at eight on a Sunday. Perhaps I should have investigated this before booking, but it would have been helpful if when we checked in at seven we had been told that food was not served after eight. Breakfast was not a great success either, staff seemed very stressed, so the service was slow, although polite when we were attended to, but the selection of bread and cereals was very poor.

I came here with my boyfriend for Sunday dinner, we usually go somewhere in Beverley but we’ve heard about This pub so decided to have pay a visit. Not likely to be returning, we didn’t book but turned up late afternoon in order to miss the lunch rush, when we got there, we hung around reception for quite a while before being spoken to, the girl who found us a table was rude, inattentive and clearly didn’t want to be there. Once we ordered, the food came out in good time but my pork was cold, and some elements of the dish had been forgotten. Our waiter, had to return to the kitchen several times before our meal was complete, (ps they don’t have cranberry sauce for Sunday dinner, but maybe that’s personal taste). The meal size was small for a Sunday dinner, and we found ourselves scraping our plates wanting more. There was only a handful of veg and roast potatoes to share between the 2 of us. All in all the atmosphere, food and staff can all be heavily improved.

We were recommended to go to this pub in Walkington and we were well welcomed and given drinks - and the first course (pate) which we shared was good and came in good time. However we had to wait over an hour for the main course (we were warned it might take a little time tbf) and then were very dissappointed with the food. The gammon was extremely salty (but we had a doggy bag so the dog was lucky), the beef pie - lots of it but rather non descript (so again some of it went to the dog), the duck was rather tough and the fish platter very greasy (and again some given to the dog) .

Although we have eaten at this venue on several occasions with friends and found it good, we have never been in a large group before. Sometimes this can be a little disappointing but not last Tuesday evening.
