Ferns Farm Hotel Restaurant in East Riding of Yorkshire

Friendly, welcoming atmosphere, excellent freshly cooked food and, important for us dog friendly! We will definitely be back!

A good last minute find. Very warm welcome. Martin and Debbie are very helpfull and they look after their guests. Can highly recommend the food. Which is cooked fresh to order so does take a little bit long to come out the kitchen. But is well worth the wait. Good range of drinks on offer. Room was very clean and comfy. Which was big as was the bathroom. The managers have only been in the position 6-8wks and are doing a great job. Nothing is too much trouble. We will be back. Thank you for your help especially this morning as we left on the back of a tow truck.

We were looking for somewhere for tea on our way home and what an amazing hidden gem we found ! The food was amazing , the warm welcome second to none , the whole place was immaculately clean and the staff hilarious. We left with a feeing we had just made lifelong friends. First and foremost the food was 5 stars and add that to the 5 star hospitality treatment we received , its a no brainer- we will definitely be returning ! Awesome chef , friendly smiley bar staff smooth perfect service from the waitresses and the wonderful Debbie who took care of all of us like we were family. Know you are special and we appreciate you all. We arrived expecting a quickie pub lunch but what we experienced was restaurant quality food and unbeatable hospitality . What a wonderful surprise evening we had . Thank you all of you . We smiled as we saw the beautiful bluebells growing on our way out .

Staff were friendly. Check in was relatively straightforward. The bar area is nice. The room wasn't clean, there was sugar and other food debris over the desk, visible dust all around the skirting boards, the toilet bowl hadn't been cleaned properly from the previous guest, the shower screen was dirty and there were hairs in the shower tray. I found the bed extremely uncomfortable and although peoples preferences on mattresses do vary, I feel this was a poor standard for anyone, it was old and extremely soft. The place definitely has a lot of potential with a bit of updating and better cleaning processes put in place.

Have stayed at lots of hotels recently for business reasons such as Travel lodges and premier inns - and this is miles better than any of them. Martin the manager is incredibly helpful and the breakfast was excellent. Had food there in the evening which was also really good. If your looking for a no thrills but excellent stay id really recommend it. Really good. Thanks Tim

Really nice sunday lunch really freindly staff well priced large portions for adults and children nice clean resturant

We visited after having to cancel another pub & we're really glad it worked out this way. Lovely food, especially the garlic prawns & the apple crumble! Lovely friendly people, it's a great last evening for our holiday.

Bounded up last minute with the fella and eight year old son. All made to feel very welcome. Excellent homemade grub and more importantly the staff were lovely. The ladies the next day at breakfast really gave me a giggle too! Lovely little stop.

Friendly good food staf Ryan and Lisa were fantastic. Could not fault the stay. The room was perfect. Food fantastic.

We were looking for somewhere to grab dinner and as we had past this place a few times we thought we'd give it a try. Fantastic homemade food, and jovial, friendly staff. I had meat and potato pie, which was out of this world, pie like my gran made. Proper homemade chips which was a bonus. Wife had lasagna and said it was one of the best she'd had. Thank you for a fantastic experience and we will definitely be back again.

Me and my partner were on a weekend away for his birthday. We weren't staying too far from Ferns Farm and decided to call in advance to ensure we could get a table. Upon arrival we were greeted by very friendly staff. However we did notice the dining area was empty. As my partner is gluten intolerant, we had to ensure that some of the food they served is gluten free. Whilst the food menu doesn't state what food was gluten free. They were more than happy to check with the chef. We decided to both opt for chilli con carne with rice. Both myself and my partner were pleasantly surprised as the food arrived quickly and was delicious! Due to this we couldn't understand why the restaurant was so empty. As we enjoyed the food and service so much. We returned the following day for lunch! We booked a table in advance once again. Thankfully we did, as there were lots of diners for their Sunday carvery! Upon arriving for a carvery lunch, we heard customers being turned away as the restaurant was so busy. Once again, we can't fault the service from staff or the quality of food! The chef also provided my partner with gravy boat containing gluten free gravy. We throughly enjoyed our meals on both occasions. I couldn't recommend Ferns Farm enough. This place was a gem in our weekend stay in Bridlington.

Had a fantastic carvery meal today.Food was fresh, piping hot and plentiful.Service was a pleasant experience at the bar and also when served the meat by the chef. I would definitely recommend and will be visiting as soon as I am in the area again.

Swimming pool was closed, with no warning. Despite being called to ask when I was arriving. Room was absolutely disgusting. Mould, dirt and grime. Slime type grime on the inside of the window. Dirt over the kettle. Splodges of dirt (approx 50) all around the sink plus hair.

Never have me and my family been made to feel so uncomfortable. Totally rude owner/manager who needs lessons in now to communicate with clientele. Swerve this place. You have been warned!

Booked one night stay, two singles July 2022. On arrival I was not welcomed or greeted by Shane, either the Manager or the owner, unsure which, he was sat with a friend in the bar area with his feet on the table, seemed unconcerned at my arrival. Once I had advised him I wanted to check in he said, well you better get your money then because we charge on check in - I've loads of hotel experience and have never been asked to pay in advance for a service I've not yet received without viewing the rooms beforehand. I reluctantly agreed offering cash for the 2 rooms, Shane unhappy with cash, he wanted card as he had already set up his machine for this and it was 'inconvenient' to alter it. I'm afraid he was inconvenienced, because I paid in cash. We were strongly advised that we must vacate our rooms before 10am the next day and we were also advised that that the pool was out of commission and had been so all of the preceding week - I had looked forward to a swim - could they not have let us know? The rooms were small but adequate with TV and kettle + en suite shower room where everything was clean and worked.. Not spotless but reasonably clean and comfortable bed.. No wardrobe, not a problem for us, only there one night. On retiring that night we were kept awake until around midnight by the high pitched sounds of dogs in real distress, howling, barking and yelping, the sound seemed to come from the outside grounds. Other guests were slamming their windows shut to try to drown out the noise. The following morning the howling started again and it was coming from inside a door marked Private on the ground floor. I felt sorry for the dogs, they obviously needed letting out, food or something, it was cruel to hear them. Quite a few workmen were staying there with an early start, you could hear their alarms going off around 5am ish. As many have remarked breakfast is at 9am and the door is locked until that time, we left our rooms at 8.45 for a walk round outside and were startled to find we couldn't get back in. We resorted to the fire escape in the end which was permanently open during our stay, not much point having a fire door which is always open. Breakfast was just about adequate. Tinned tomatoes and my friend said sausage was poor. Shane had told us that the breakfast is 'complimentary', I would have been happy to pay for it for a proper breakfast with some fresh items in it i.e fruit etc On leaving we loaded up the car, went back to the rooms at 9.40 to collect last minute things when Shane knocked on my door asking if I had forgotten to leave my room key which I had not, he was concerned that we were still there, I advised him that we would depart before 10am which we did. We received the distinct impression that Shane isn't a happy man doing this job and he certainly gives the impression that you should arrive, pay and leave immediately! Its a shame because this hotel has some lovely downstairs rooms, is in a great main road position with the added benefit of a pool and gym, it could be made into a thriving place, they just need to listen to their customers and treat them with a bit more respect..

Owners lovely, rooms clean but basic. Rooms def need some investment as bed hard, pillows paper thin, decor awful, but value for money, it’s really not too bad at all, ideal for a one night stay over but wouldn’t want to stay long term due to uncomfortable bed and the room

Food gorgeous, landlord very accomodating, coming back next weekend to try something else off the menu

Visited this week while staying for work. Room was comfortable and the food was lovely. Owners were so friendly and welcoming and made me and my newly adopted dog feel at home during our stay. Highly recommend. Thank you from Claire and Blue 🐕🐾

Absolutely fabulous. The food was all homemade and outstanding quality and taste. There were 6 of us all ordered different dishes and not one of us was disappointed. The staff could not do enough to help. Thank you. If we holiday near here again we will 100% be back.

***Ferns Farm is now under new management***There are some terrible reviews about Ferns Farm however these are based off previous management. What I can say about the current team is that they are going above and beyond to turn things around. The 4 of us had a variety of options from the menu, all fresh, hearty, tasty meals and the chef was more than happy to create and adapt gluten free meals. The service was fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. We will certainly be back and can’t wait to try more off the menu!

"I booked this hotel for 1 night after I booked I read the reviews I was gutted to see a few bad ones so I didn’t want to go but we called in the bar part had a drink and was pleasantly surprised the guy that people had slated was lovely so we decided to stay everything about my stay has been 10 out of 10 I’ve been in hotels and paid double the amount and it’s been horrible so all I can say is really good work tony and I will be coming back soon

Delicious meal , great guy (landlord) , so glad we tried the fish it was really special. We shall return .

We have just stayed here for the weekend and what a wonderful weekend it was. Met at the reception desk by Tony a proper Yorkshire man! We knew we were in for some laughs, he made us all feel welcome especially my 86 year old Grandma and 13 year old daughter. Giving us a quick tour, so we knew exactly where to go and what to do. We were shown to our rooms which were very clean and well equipped! We decided to stay in on our first night and booked our evening meal. Tony gave us a boiled slot to suit what we were doing. The drinks were reasonably priced and the meals were great. Homemade dishes by Christine (fab) nothing was too much!We asked to play on the darts board and Tony showed us how to light it up etc. We asked for dominos and Tony sorted us with them straight away. Great evening was had by us all and a few laughs with Tony- straight John Bull he is! The next morning we had a full English which was lovely. There was cereal, orange, apple juice, tea and coffee, everything you could wish for in a breakfast menu! All included in the price! Tiny said we could place any order we wanted the next morning, so we opted for poached eggs for 3 of us and full English for 1. Again brilliant! We then went for a swim in the leisure centre again included in the price. Followed by another drink and a feed stories from Tony, before we headed out for the day! After a good day out we went back and had a relaxing evening at the hotel and bar! Loved it! Will be returning again soon. Very impressed! Oh and remember there’s always two sides to every story! Tony is a straight talking bloke, who treats people how they treat him! No issues for us.

Stayed 3 nights. Clean, comfortable and even the lady cleaning the rooms was friendly. Full English breakfast was included in the price. We wanted a lighter breakfast and asked for poached eggs on toast which was cooked to perfection and extra toast was served after we were asked if we needed more. We didn’t have other meals here so can’t comment. The pool and Gym were used and enjoyed. No complaints and would definitely stay again but remember to take hairdryer.

On arrival myself and my daughter in law asked if we could have lunch. We were given a menu and told to have a seat. On looking at the menu the owner told us the fryer was getting cleaned and would not be ready until 1pm, 2pm at the latest. I asked if we could order a sandwich. He said yes. He then proceeded to go to the kitchen and have an argument, with whom I gather was his wife in the kitchen. Myself and my daughter in law promptly left. It made us feel uncomfortable. I will certainly not go back. There was no one else in the bar waiting to eat or drink.

The worst place I have ever had the experience of eating at, food terrible but the landlord even worse, never met such a rude man in all my life why he is working with the general public i do not know, take my advice do not visit this place

**Please read**What an experience this place really is!After reading some of the other reviews below going back to last year and can really understand what the other guests meant by Rude and the fact that when they are replying to the reviews they are doing so with an argumentative manner says it all about the kind of people that run this place. We went in for lunch and was greeted by a very rude man (thinking back i can only assume he took a dislike to me and my family) Upon being seating myself and partner went to the bar to purchase drinks we was quite surprised that a very young girl 14/15 was serving the drinks, i apologised and said sorry to be a pain but could have i have some more ice.. to be told "yeah you are a pain" we didn't say anything and just went back to our table.He then came over to take the food order my sister enquired if she could change the prawn sandwich into a baguette as there was other baguettes on the menu.. his response" does it say baguette?" she stated that it was a sandwich his reply" well that's what you will get"thinking back again at that point we should have just left, we noted that the cutlery wasn't wrapped, condiments on tables being passed around, not great given the current COVID-19 situation.The food came.. fresh home cooked food most defiantly a fib!my daughter was presented with 4 chicken nuggets so over cooked the filling was so no longer edible along with some peas and maybe 8 chips, I knew this wouldn't be enough to fill her so politely asked if i could order a portion of chips i was just ignored so again i asked, it looked like he just shock his head as he walked off, he then returned sometime later and instead of addressing me addressed my 12 year old daughter "chips are ordered, you'll get them when they are ready but we are busy severing them people" Enough was enough for me at this point, i told him that his customer service was appalling to get of reply of "great thanks" i then explained that i no longer wanted the chips nor would i be eating my meal as it was not great, he quickly started lifting played from the table and taking them away while shouting at us. We decided that the rest of the family would leave their meals as we felt like he was becoming very hostile, as we was leaving with 4 children in tow aged 4-12 he started shouting at us to leave.The bill as £98.00 this was for 9 meals and 2 rounds of drinks, as all meals had been left and the second round of drinks had not been touched we offered him £60 which we left on the bar.Avoid this place at all costs. I will image that it will be ran into the ground as that man whom I now believe to be the owner is the rudest man i have ever come across and should not work with the public and certainly not in the hospitality sector.I would say that i am looking forward to the response but as i stated at the beginning he has not customer care skills and previous responses clearly show this. It was later that night while at home we realised he also took no contact details for track and trace

Visited the restaurant and had the worst experience. Manager was just so incredibly rude and made personal and rude comments constantly throughout the visit. Food awful! Absolutely no Covid safety measures in place! They did not take any name or contact for track and trace.Napkins, Cutlery and sauce bottles left out on the tables and not stored or cleaned between other families use. At one point the man even took a sauce bottle from one family and passed it over to us on our table! Without cleaning it. Do not visit this awful place!!

Visited this pub with my family for lunch , we were absolutely appalled by the hospitality of the guy who is the owner , he was extremely rude not only to us but to my grandchildren, which we found very upsetting , after addressing this rudeness with him , he simply said “ so what “ , the establishment was not covid safe in the dinning room , we decided to leave and told him we were disgusted and we were leaving , we were then followed by him into the car park he was shouting and swearing , my grandchildren were very upset , he’s language was appalling and shouted to my partner and my son-in-law “ come on then” !! Very frightening indeed .. he shouldn’t be aloud to work with the public. Please afford this place at all costs

Found this little gem when we went for a sunday carvery for a family birthday. The food was excellent could have been a little bit hotter for my liking but overall very happy. Staff pleasant quiet background music no loud blaring tvs a shame it was so quiet.

I booked a room on hotel.com and put in the notes I was arriving at 22:30. No where did it say that you could not check in after 20:00. The first I knew about this just as i was leaving home was when a very rude man called me and said have you just made a booking? you can't check in that late! Its was not so much the information as the incredible rude manner in which he conveyed it. Having paid for the room in advanced I asked about a refund to be basically told that was nothing to do with him.Luckily managed to find somewhere else at short notice who were very friendly and accommodating - avoid like the plague!!

Decided to take my Grandmother here for a Sunday carvery after hearing lots of positive reviews about it. Called up and booked a table for 2:30pm although we got there at 1:30pm as change of plans, the male owner managed to get us seated quickly and wasn’t a problem that we were early. Tastefully decorated dining room, separate from the bar which personally is a plus point as it’s always a niggle of mine when you’re sat amongst people just there drinking when you’re eating a meal. Both opted for the carvery. Everything looked and tasted home made very nice indeed, tasty gravy!! Chef went out of his way to get my grandmother some crackling, staff attentive and friendly, well priced, lots of parking. Will definitely be back in the future, unsure what some of the negative comments relate to as we couldn’t find a single thing wrong with this place . Thank you.

We stayed at Little Eden and made this our local for the weekend! Land lord and land lady so friendly and the food was lush. There chef really cares about what he is doing. I would recommend to any one in the lical area! Hopefully visiting again in Jan

Staff not trained room very small cleaning lady serving food no hair dryer. Returned sunday evening 9.30pm to find hotel in darkness and locked, rang the bell to no avail.called the number for the hotel no answer. we were talking to the tempary bar man in the afternoon.who told us his brothering law had a house over the road.Iwent to the house and asked if he could help us he contacted the barman who came and let us in.We should have had a night key but we did not.There was one other guest staying that evening who was in the hotel on his own with no staff no help in emergancy and probably no insurance in these circumstances.We left after breakfast the following morning.The only staff were the chef who was cooking and serving he was a nice guy. Would not stay again and I think the place was dangeres on this occasion. It would seem it is run on a shoe string.

I stayed at Ferns Farm Hotel for three night during a work trip.I did not enjoy the stay and neither did my boss. We had booked two single rooms with en-suite. I volunteered to take the one with the smaller bathroom because I am the smaller person. We were told that this room is only used when they are full because of the bathroom. Small is an understatement. It basically looked like a cupboard with a toilet, sink and shower curtain. The sink over-lapped the toilet and, despite being barely 5`5``, I couldn’t use the toilet with the door closed.The only positive thing about this hotel is that there is an associated leisure centre with a pool which guests can use for free. The leisure centre was clean and really nice and the regular morning swimmers were very friendly to me. I was able to shower here and wash my hair as well as swimming before work. It is the only reason I was able to shower as even though I am quite slim, there was no way I could shower in the en-suite.The room, particularly the bathroom, was not very clean. The carpet was dirty, the walls of the `shower` were dirty, there were hairs all over the bathroom, including a pile of beard hairs on the tiny bathroom shelf. I did not feel comfortable walking around without shoes, even to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. The tv remote was sticky. There was a patch of something I don’t want to think much about on the wall. There was a very unpleasant smell in the corridor outside my room – I’m not sure if it was toilet related or gas metre related, but it was persistent. My bed was alarmingly rocky to the point that I was worried the whole thing was going to break. It turned out I was the lucky one, one leg of my boss’s bed was already broken, and that corner was resting on the floor. There is a tv in each room – it is very small, but this is not a problem for me as I don’t watch much and I was at work all day. The wifi was more of an issue. It was slow and unreliable and pretty much unusable if you are trying to work. One night we went out to the cinema just to avoid our room. The other two nights we lingered in the restaurants at another hotel two minutes’ walk down the road – this is where I hope we will stay on our trip back.There is a sign stating that the pub/hotel is under new management. I hope this means that some refurbishment is intended but I very much doubt it. The new managers gave the impression that we were in their way and they would rather we were not there.Breakfast was served 8am to 9am so we had to shift our work day back an hour. I did not have a cooked breakfast as I was put off by the quality of everything else. The cereal selection was very small, there was no fruit or yogurt. Toast came out cold and slowly leading me to believe that they are working with only a two slice toaster. There was a choice of apple or orange juice but it was very cheap quality.I know that the hotel is relatively cheap compared to others in the area (and it was the only one available at short notice during the school holidays) but it is not cheap enough for the standards. If it had cost £20 a night for single room it might have been acceptable but not for almost £50 a night. I will not be returning.

Great staff , nice room , rooms need updating but new owners had it a short while so maybe that would come , very tidy and clean , breakfast was great let down by warm orange and apple juice and no menus but overall comfortable sleep and great visit

We stayed at the Ferns Farm overnight as we were visiting people in Bridlington. The room was more than adequate for the three of us and we did have a meal in the restaurant which was very good indeed and the selection on the menu was very good too.

What a fantastic meal we had here today! The warm welcome initially was so friendly and the food absolutely amazing. Steak cooked to perfection and my husband said his pie was amazing too. Even Betty the dog got a treat definitely return again.

Just been for sunday lunch in ferns farm and it was perfect. Staff were so nice and accommodating,food was great,relaxed atmosphere and couldn't ask for anymore. If you want a good calvary go there. Tried most in bridlington area but this is the best

Very disappointed, not child friendly AT ALL! If you have kids and you want them to enjoy their holiday take them somewhere else.

A little apprehensive about visiting The Ferns Farm Hotel because of the last reviewer comments, but found them in my opinion to be totally unfounded. Jennie & Kieth where very welcoming and attentive all the time we where there. The three of us ordered different meals, and not one of us could find fault (Thanks Chef) please visit the Ferns Farm Hotel hotel and support these very hard working people.

Owners are rude and pork was raw with flies all around you whislt you eat.

Just called in today, very nice people, had the steak pie ,wife ,wife had a burger, nice to get some home made chips not frozen, even had extra gravy if needed. Will be going again

So, before we visit, don’t you service the rooms at all during the stay - usual hotel stuff such as making the Ed’s and wiping down the bathroom?

Stopped here only to discover no chef on a Monday however they went out of their way to provide us with a meal gave us a choice of 5 dishes and we between 5 of us chose 2 and they were lovely I had the chilli really really nice can recommend anyone to visit

Very nice and friendly, made us feel very welcome. The food was lovely I had the pie didn’t disappoint it was gorgeous, husband had chilli asked for it to be extra hot it certainly was and he loved it.

This is quite a large property. We arrived mid afternoon on a Friday. It was very quiet and at first we thought the hotel was closed. On entering the bar we were met by the manageress who showed us to our room. The room was clean fairly functional. We stayed 3 nights and the room wasn’t visited by any staff for cleaning or replenishment. The reason came to light early on our stay when we found out that this large hotel was being run by the manageress and her husband alone. They had a very heavy workload. However they were very good company. Breakfast was just about ok. A real bonus with this hotel is the free use of the spa facilities which was great.I wish the couple all the best but I would hope that they have more staff before long and this would be a requirement for me to stay there in the future.

Live nearby and used to go to Ferns Farm many years ago. We were told it had recently changed hands and a local couple had taken it over.

We're holding our wedding reception at this venue in June, so needed to have a meeting with Martin the chef to finalize our menu choices. Although he's not been at the Ferns long, he instilled confidence in his ability to give us the service we want.

My partner and I went for Sunday lunch as we are having our wedding there in a couple of months. Keith and Jennie have recently taken over and they are doing a sterling job. Much praise for these two as they are all about customer satisfaction unlike their predecessors. We recently attended a launch and was pleasantly surprised at the buffet which was good quality, along with the carvery today. All home cooked and totally delicious, a big thumbs up for Martin the Chef. Can't wait for our wedding.

Stopped here mid week on the off chance. People outside said what great food and hospitality.

Called in for Sunday lunch carvery today. Was not disappointed. Lovely homemade food at reasonable prices. Made my 4 year old son feel very welcome and topped it off with a free ice cream for him. Will definatley be back for home cooked food and a great welcoming atmosphere.

We popped for a family Sunday lunch and had a lovely meal and they gave my toddler his dinner for free! New owners and definitely recommend, good food, good value and very friendly

Food, Very Good, actual speed at being served SLOW, breakfast had to ask for cereals fruit juice, got no toast at breakfast, room booked for two nights electrical socket hanging of the wall which the kettle was plugged into, cold water tap water trickling out all the time could not even turn the cold tap on, no milk was left in room after first night, not enough loo rolls, beds not made, the room was not very clean carpet needed cleaning also cob webs on the walls, not impressed at all

Popped in today on our way home from Christmas shopping and what a gem of a find.

Very good carvery and great choice of meat and veg nice dining area very light and pleasant atmosphere, highchair for babies, good price too.

We went for the Sunday carvery and at 1.30pm the place was nearly empty so thought this didn't bode well. I had the beef which was impossible to cut or chew. The gravy was like water and thoroughly tasteless, the veg were so/so. To be fair they took the beef away and changed it for pork which was very nice and offered us a sweet or coffee as recompense. It's a shame because this is a lovely big place, nice dining room and bar area and decor, just empty so no atmosphere.

We are always looking for a nice quiet place to eat which offers good service, quality food & drink at a reasonable price and The Ferns Farm Hotel Restaurant hit the spot. We popped in today just to check the place out and the service and food we had was superb. We will definitely go again, very soon, to enjoy one of their themed nights - Curry, Pie, Steak & Wine etc or the Sunday Carvery.... oh and the chef specials looked delicious. Go see for yourself.

Went last night 6of us we enjoyed our evening food was lovely friendly staff my husbands drink fell off the table they replaced his pint and cleared up the broken glass with no fuss at all had a giggle with them although the restaurant was very quiet and that's a shame there were quiet a few in the bar all very chatty and friendly it far outdoes Manor Court further up the road not impressed at all with that place we wish the new owners all the very best at Ferns Farm as apparently it had awful reviews and it takes time to build a good reputation

called in on our way back to our caravan park for tea so glad we did the food is amazing the chef makes everything(where possible himself) it was so good we called back a few days later the staff are so friendly and helpful would highly recommend

The lady behind the bar was fun and chatty . The fish and chips were enormous and were just fantastic just full of flavour so happy we chanced on here

This is an excellent family restaurant. We walked in off he street to book a table for approx 2 hours time for a party of 11( 4 adults, 5 children and 2 toddlers). The lady who owns the hotel was very accommodating giving us many options on how she could set up tables. We came back and she had moved them all together so we were able to enjoy a lovely meal together. The food was delicious home made meals and the children particularly enjoyed the speciality World Cup burgers and pizzas. The men and older children stayed to watch the England game and were impressed with the homely atmosphere they experienced. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND!!!

New owners arrived several weeks ago and we've eaten there several times now

June 2018 we went for Sunday Carvery The new people were very friendly and the Carvery was lovely and hot and plates were hot to

We went here one Wednesday evening the lady behind the bar was very friendly and helpful we both had s main meal and a pudding and it was lovely and also great value for money.

Went for tea with my family , should have noticed the place was virtually empty , went to the bar to order drinks 2 very young inexperienced girls took an age to get the drinks correct , then went to order food and was told to hang on 15 mins as busy ???? After a while we ordered off the menu but every item off the menu was either run out or didn’t have , in the end we just had to order anything just to get some food ...when it arrived there was nothing to accompany it no sauces , condiments and no one came to ask , the burger meals were the cheapest kind of burger you get from a fairground like rubber smothered in mayonaise and lettuce to disguise them ! My homemade chicken soup was 1/2 can of Heinz soup microwaved so it burnt my mouth ...I wanted to run out crying but we had my guests with us I honestly feel embarrassed I had to put them through this horrific place ...whoever is in charge of this place needs to close it down before environmental health go and do it

Stayed here in a very sweet room, had a bit of trouble with the shower, a bit on the cold side, the staff were great, very friendly, the breakfast was terrific

Whilst visiting friends on a day trip to Bridlington on Friday 4th May 2018, we were invited out to lunch. All we required was a typical bar lunch with drinks. The attraction was that dogs were allowed in the bar area. When the drinks arrived my wife's gin and T was served in a glass that had lipstick on from the previous user. The meal served was disgusting to say the least. Our friends ordered the speciality burger, when they arrived both were cold, my Steak and Ale pie had obviously been frozen prior to its ordeal in the Microwave, being baked without the chance to defrost. The pastry was so hard that it broke like a biscuit, the meat inside, whilst hot was burnt, with no sign of the Ale gravy that one comes to expect from a Steak and Ale pie. In fact the only gravy splodge d on, tasted of granules their next stage could have made wallpaper paste. When our friends complained of the cold burgers they were taken away and reheated on the grill.

Booked a table of 8, turned up before I could even speak, some very abrupt man Said, "I hope you don't want carvery we've nowt left!" I was like oh right well we did, so we will go elsewhere, I mentioned as we turned to leave that we had booked a table, the obnoxious man said, oh if you have booked you can have a roast!! So then we were getting drinks at the bar, the man said hurry up and get your dinner I've got 16 people coming and you won't get anything!!! Why this rude idiot was even working with the public I'll never know, the roast was cold, disgusting, hardly anything left, Yorkshire puddings were that hard I went to cut one! And a chainsaw would of been handy! We eat out a lot and have a big family, and I can honestly say it's the worst place I've been too, staff looked dirty and rude! Avoid at all costs it's vile!

Just been for a so called roast dinner, we was met with the most rudest staff and was rushed into eating as soon as we arrived . The food was horrible most of it was cold, gravy was the only thing hot, would never return or recommend this place to anyone, would rather go to McDonald’s.

Great value meals and a very warm welcome. We visited this place several times and enjoyed the real ale that was on offer. Very nicely decorated and a great atmosphere. The publicans there are new people who are really trying their best to make it work. Good luck to them.

Slow staff, hair on the plates and on our fish! Drinks order wrong... main course wrong... and oh surprise surprise dessert was wrong! Beer smelt awful however we suspect this was due to dirty glasses as there was no odd taste was more like an im a celebrity get me out of here bush tucker trial! Then to top it off the bill was ridiculous for the standard of the food. Not happy and will not be coming again.

Recently had a great meal with 8 friends service was excellent and the food was delicious nothing was too much trouble we will definitely be back.

Friend had been for Sunday carvery recently and recommended it, especially lamb shank. Went on Friday on way to Bridlington to book for Sunday and ask if lamb would be available. True to word turned up on Sunday and he had saved us 3. Unusual to see lamb shank on menu at £7.95 cost of carvery. Also on offer were turkey and beef. Found staff very friendly and welcoming. Food very good, everywhere very clean, young girl cleaned tables as soon as they were vacated. Will definitely return.

Were passing and decided to call in for lunch. Not disappointed. Food was really good, home made chips which were excellent. Good portion sizes. The staff were all really friendly. The place was clean and tidy. Good background music. Will definitely call back when next passing.

Called Saturday tea time the restaurant was quiet but the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We both ordered the...

Booked a table for 5 people for the Sunday carvery at 1pm on Saturday morning. Two of the party arrived...

Always drove past and when i saw the "Under new management" sign I thought I would give it a go....

First time we have ever visited and not sure I would try it again. The place looks clean and tidy,...

Over- priced Sunday Lunch in comparison to other similar establishments in the Bridlington area. All food was cold. Plastic meat,...

Where to start? We arrived at 11:45 knowing we probably wouldn't be able to eat until 12 but thought we could get a drink and sit down. We tried one door and a gentleman came to the door asking us what we wanted....."lunch" I replied. We were then told we couldn't come in until 12 despite having a toddler with us. We were considering going somewhere else but my daughter was very hungry and it would have been more trouble to try and get her back in the car. When we finally got in; there was a distinct lack of professionalism from the staff and no-one seemed to know what the other was doing. The carvery was out and ready by 12:05 but the chef was too busy taking photos of it to serve straight away so it was 12:20 before we were able to be served. The final straw was the Yorkshire puddings. Myself and my mum plus two other diners couldn't eat them..... they tasted like perfume or soap.....very strange. We shall not be returning.

Visted the ferns again after a recent change of management.Sunday Afternoon about three fifteen.Boards outside speak of Food available until 4pm.Ignored by staff on arrival,Rude attitute left and enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch next door at Manor Court.

Just had sirloin steak meal very poor cost £15.50 very disappointed when we walked I'm alarm bells rang we went to lots of other restaurants all was busy this looked nice but was emptt now we know why

I have been here many times in the past and can say it's my last with the new owners.We ordered of the main menu as they said the portions were bigger. When they came out they were definitely 100% of the 2 for £10 menu. There was no veg with the pie as advertised( they had been busy and ran out). When I asked if it was off the cheap menu they were adamant it wasn't as it was a lot bigger than that menu, it was small with with not a lot in it. The quality was very average and they didn't care about our complaint , just seem to brush it under the carpet. It's a shame because we liked stopping here. I will not be back while these clowns are in charge!

I must agree with Malccon, The service was very slow, The veg was good but to little, The meals were just o.k. We complained but the manageress/ Owner was not bothered and just left us to it. The standard has most definitely gone down. We most definitely will not be back.. sorry guys...........

We visited yesterday after not having been there for nearly 20 years obviously it had changed owners and had been extended the sunday lunch menu was concise but reasonably priced. We ordered and where pleasantly surprised by the quality and the size of the portions, I had a standard and my wife a smaller portion. Definitely value for money, we will not leave as long before we visit again.

Had a fabulous meal here. Very reasonable and ideal as dogs are allowed in bar area! V friendly staff

Easter Sunday a few miles from Bridlington at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.A very quaint stone built hotel on the main road.My family , wife , son , daughter their partners & a couple of grand kids.We had booked a table for 8 .....we were the only customers ; it was like the Marie Celeste. What a give away. We should have turned around and walked.We were served drinks by a polite young man who directed us to a very nice table surrounded by 20 empty tables.15 minutes later the order of lamb and beef roasts was taken. Another 15 minutes and food served clock cold.Complained and asked the situation be rectified.5 minutes later the good returned Luke warm swimming in tepid gravy.We were all very hungry , so ate the cheap thin plastic processed Beef and the cold Lamb Shanks accompanied by under cooked roasties and 2 hour old Yorkies.After complaining , the young man offered a price reduction saying " she's (manager) upstairs, won't come down"After further complaining "she" appeared from nowhere looking like a "Jonny Cash" lookalike who was very abrupt and didn't wish to accept that the meal was just CRAP !!!!DO NOT go there unless you don't like people , are not hungry and like to be talked to like your a 3 year old.

Had a few meals which included lunch, dinner and Sunday roast. Food was lovely, hot and good portions. Great value for money. The staff were very friendly. Would highly recommend.

I had been at the local hospital where I had taken my son for some treatment. As he had been starved all day we decided to call into the Ferns Farm Hotel and Restaurant for something to eat, as we were passing on our way home. So glad we chose to call off in here and we were delighted on our findings.The place is larger on the inside then it looks on the outside. A lovely large restaurant which was tastefully decorated and would be ideal for any function required. The bar area was clean and large, with a good selection of drinks. There was a lovely brown labrador asleep near some of the seating area, which woke shortly after our arrival and greeted us with a splendid wagging tail!My son ordered the Gammon and myself just some cheesy chips as I had eaten earlier. The gammon was the best my son said that he had eaten in a long time. A very good size, tasty and juicy. It was served with homemade chips, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, onion rings, peas, a bit of side salad and coleslaw, and of course pineapple and fried egg (he was allowed both much to his delight). Served on a warm plate and well presented. The cheesy chips I had were splendid, homemade with the skins on and an abundance of melted cheese. Our compliments are to be given to the chef.The whole place had a lovely atmosphere too it and the staff were very friendly, jolly and courteous especially the lady called Kate. The overall bill for what we had eaten and drunk was very reasonably priced.We found out that the place had rooms and also a swimming pool and small gym. We look forward to returning here later in the year for maybe a weekend stay and can highly recommend anyone calling off in here even if it is just for a drink.

We all (6) have visited before, Good food, Nice environment, nice friendly staff. good parking.. Good place to visit..

Called in for lunch on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised that one of my favourite beers, Old Mill Bitter, was on finest fettle and there was also a seasonal Winter Warmer beer available too which, despite being the first pint pulled of the day, was also perfect. We had a Cheese Ploughmans and a Hot Beef Baguette with chips and both were top quality and very reasonably priced. Customer service was second to none. Also loved the Chocolate Labrador (Arthur?) who was very friendly and well mannered.

Visited for lunch(friday) three of us. Two of us had the steak and one steak and ale pie. Nice environment, sat in the conservatory. The steaks were cooked to everyone's liking.Steak and Ale pie perfect, lovely fresh vegetables. Large portions. Real friendly staff.

What a lovely place and the lady who served us could not do enough, we were made very welcome including our beagle.The. Meal was homemade and very good. Pay this place a visit.

visited here after Skirlington market,lovely Sunday lunch, very tasty and good value, and service was first class,nice and friendly place to eat, would definitely recommend :)

Stopped here for lunch on way into Bridlington. Warm welcome. Spacious bar area or light conservatory to eat in. Food excellent. Good value for money

Took a day out to Brid, it rained all day, we kept driving and found this restaurant by accident. What a warm welcome we were given! A pint of very decent beer for him and his favourite fish, chips and mushy peas- Whitby scampi & salad for me. The chips were really fat and tasty, mushy peas well cooked and full of flavour as was the large portion of fish. My scampi were very good, a small portion was plenty for me.We sat in the conservatory and watched the rain, enjoyed our food and finished off with Bailey's cheesecake. It brightened up the whole day

We sometimes pop in for lunch when staying at our holiday home in Brid. Always a friendly welcome and the kids like to see Arthur the aging chocolate labrador.

Stopped on our way back from visiting surrounding area on the off chance of lunch still being served - we were in luck and had a lovely meal. Portion was good size but they also offered a small size for those with a smaller appetite, food was good value for money. The menu was to our liking which made for an easy choice. Food was fresh, well presented and the staff pleasant and friendly, surroundings comfortable and clean. We will definitely stop here again if travelling in the area and would definitely recommend.

Had a fantastic meal at Ferns Farm with the family, even the children where welcome.The food was perfect along with the beer which went down very well, the staff are very friendly and helpful and it's in a great location just outside Bridlington. Well worth a visit and the price, will be back again soon for another perfect meal.
