Gold Cup Inn in East Riding of Yorkshire

Absolutely nothing to fault here. One of the best pub meals we have ever had. It was recommended by our Airbnb hosts and we are so pleased we tried it out. The Belly Pork and the Lamb Shank were both so well cooked, seasoned and served with ample sauce/gravy. The apple sponge pudding was so light and fluffy and the ‘special’ dessert of chocolate and brandy torte was perfect. The staff were welcoming, polite, professional and did everything to please. Well done, we may live 125 miles away but next time we visit York we will be back. Thank you.

Found this place by sheer chance, after looking in Stamford Bridge York for a place to eat and found most places full or not serving till later, the golden cup came recommended to my surprise my wife and I had gone past it many years ago on a country walk where she had a allergic reaction to something the pub came to her rescue, so it was great to find the place again, the staff were so friendly and helpful, the food didn’t disappoint and the prices surprised me we expected to pay more for what we had, we will definitely be back to this olde world pub, well guys x

First class food and drinks. We have been to many places to eat, and struggled to find anywhere that matches the quality here.

Great place to eat out good menu and drinks very good staff

Very friendly and efficient service. Good range on menu and catered for gluten free. Good portion size and all 3 of the meals ordered were very tasty and well cooked.

A welcome stop on a walk in the area.

Good food, great staff and a nice chilled atmosphere. Dog friendly and plenty of room to park. We had four different meals and we were very pleased with them. Will come again!

Myself and my 19 year old grand daughter were on holiday nearby and wanted a local country pub for an evening meal, absolutely delighted we found the Gold Cup Inn. I telephoned in advance to see if they were dog friendly and thankfully they are (in the bar area) which was perfectly fine. On arrival all the staff were really welcoming and friendly. We ordered our meals and drinks and had only a short wait for the food to arrive. Both meals were absolutely delicious, I couldn't manage a dessert but my granddaughter could and it arrived quickly, was huge, had fresh fruit, cream and meringue and she finished it all. The pub itself is a lovely typical quaint country pub and if we lived close by it would definitely be our 'local'. Highly recommend it, lovely village pub with very friendly, helpful staff oh and delicious home cooked food.

Was there fitting windows before opening. Staff very helpful

Lovley pub and friendly staff nice tidy beer garden flowers pretty place

A fabulous evening. The choice of food is excellent & it was quite hard to select! However, we were all very happy & thoroughly enjoyed our choices. Our 1st visit here, we came with friends who had previously been. We would highly recommend.

This was our first visit to this dog friendly country and we weren't disappointed. There is an extensive menu, with choice enough for everyone and the food is very well cooked. The re is a lovely garden terrace, which was perfect for a summer's night. The outstanding feature, however, is the level of service: impeccable.

Stopped for a Lunch time sandwich. Reasonable service and food.

We frequent this restaurant many times since 1996, the food, service & ambience is always excellent! Today we went for a 3 course Sunday lunch with friends, they were happy to cater for a dairy free member of our party too.

Cracking village pub and restaurant. The staff were friendly and polite with prompt efficient service. The food options were great for this place. There was ample parking at the rear with a horse paddock to the rear. It's atmosphere was warm and welcoming with music playing in the background. Not blaring that you had to shout. Worth a visit if your passing through.

We visited recently with my family and friends. We’ve been before and found it to be decent pub food with good service, but this time was different- not sure if it’s changed hands recently. The passive aggressive waitress was a real downer! When we mentioned that all our drinks were flat she said, that’s the way it comes. ☹️

A lovely traditional pub with good grub. We were greeted with warm and friendly lady who also took our food order. Will be back again.

Fantastic staff and meal Wednesday 17thApril 24. Could not fault it at all. Price very reasonable and great choice on the menu. We went back on the next night and it didn’t disappoint. Must go to place if staying nearby

This pub is constantly mentioned as being a good place to eat, so we were very disappointed in our meal. To start with, the food delivery was exceptionally slow. Table booked for 6:30, order taken before 6:45, but meals did not arrive until 7:30. No apology, in fact we were slightly lectured on having to wait to get it right. Scampi and chips was excellent. Sea bass was rather dry (perhaps been kept under a heat lamp after cooking). Roast beef and Yorkshire was bland and boring. Stilton burger was very disappointing - the stilton was almost non-existent and there was no other garnish in the burger - could get better in a supermarket. When paying, I said the food was "alright" in a manner that should have been picked up, but nothing was said. We won't be going again.

First visit to the Gold Cup. Was told it was a good food and warm welcoming place, and wasn't disappointed..it was a cold day and by luck had a table next to the open fire.

Wee bit dated but the food makes up for that. Staff are lovely and very accommodating.

Been here a few times and has always been nice ,Took my son for a tea treat and it was awfull I've eaten better food in a supermarket cafe , £16.95 for a roast dinner with 3 very thin beef and a frozen Yorkshire pudding. Dryed out veg totally not acceptable, and a burger of which I did not pay for it was very dry over cooked , never again !!! . Shame it used to be lovely food

Excellent. Going back in a few days time. Went back what a contrast it was appalling.

Been coming for years for the 3 course Sunday roast and it’s always been superb with no faults. Lovely staff and great vibe.

Great village pub, excellent Sunday roast, and staff are very helpful and accommodating.

Yet again, we received a warm and friendly welcome. The dining area is a calm environment which sets tge scene for have an an enjoyable evening. The menu provides a wide choice and the food was as always, excellent. The portions are plentiful and the quality is excellent. The service is outstanding, everyone gives you their full attention. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Large menu but on the day we were there (lunch) it was very quiet ( midweek) so atmosphere was missing nice staff and service and food was good quality

Lovely food , staff were brilliant especially after fulfilling a special request for a 60th birthday

Been here many times over the last 20 years and our whole extended family love it.

5 of us came for dinner last Saturday at 5:30pm and all 5 left happy. The food was outstanding. Three of us had the steak and ale pie with chips, my wife had the crisp pork belly and my son had the roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. Highly recommend.

Very good service and quality,always excellent

This pub is a Gem!! We went twice during our weeks holiday in nearby Florida Keys Holiday park!! Had a fantastic dinner there, piping hot food and with sizeable portions! You could never leave there hungry!!! The staff are very friendly and welcoming there, catering for your every need 👍🏼 I can honestly say that this is possibly the best inn I have had the pleasure to eat in!! Very highly recommend you should give it a go .

Absolutely delicious food & great service. Staff were friendly & welcoming & couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommended

Visited while on holiday for a week after being directed here by a nice lady in the garage in Stamford Bridge - she knew what she was talking about!

Staff were top notch, food was ok, nothing startling. It's a good old-fashioned village pub end of. Gents Loos are immaculate.☺️ .

Great home cooked food cooked to order, best meal out for a long time.

Had Sunday lunch there brilliant food and service

Only popped in for a drink on a hot day after a hike, but good beer and service, food looked great and busy too.

Durante la nostra vacanza abbiamo incontrato i nostri amici che risiedono nelle vicinanze di questo ristorante (uno dei loro preferiti). Abbiamo potuto assaporare l'atmosfera british ed un servizio cordiale ed attento. Buone le pietanze (stinco di agnello, maiale arrosto, branzino) serviti con un'ottima varietà di verdure. Cheese cake e brownie ottimi. Il tutto con un buon pinot rosato (sul vino siamo rimasti in Italia). Assolutamente consigliato per una buona cena con prodotti locali.

Always good food with a wide choice and also caters fir the smaller appetite.

My husband chose the Gold Cup Inn as it was on our way back from a visit to East Yorkshire on 10 August. We ate in the bar area and had a beautiful lunch. The food was very tasty in particular the lemon and cream sauce with my sea bass and the plum and ginger sauce with my husband’s duck. The vegetables that we shared were also cooked well. It was also my birthday so I couldn’t have asked for a better meal and also friendly service.

Very tasty food, good value too.

Delicious roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, and veggies on the side. Best of all, it was open every night unlike many others in the area. Had the feel of a local English pub

The best, superb food, great place, lovely staff.. lovely location. Highly recommend.. will be back again

We went here at the weekend with family. We all ordered sirloin steak at £25.99 each. The steak was tasteless with lots of fat and gristle and was served with a portion of frozen peas. We were given a choice of either a sauce or tomato and mushrooms which at the price charged I thought rather pathetic, it came with plenty of frozen chips. This was a birthday treat so we didn’t complain but had we been on our own we certainly would have. We asked for the steaks medium rare and they were over cooked, very disappointing.

Very friendly staff, good food & dog friendly.

Great pub, lovely friendly staff, good food and a pool table

Best roast dinner I’ve had in a long time! Lots of it and beautifully cooked. A gem of a pub not far from me but I never knew it existed!! We will be back!

First class in every way, superb food

A very nice pub good food not cheap but would recommend it.

Very friendly staff, great and varied menu, delicious food and great background music - classic 70's! Service with a smile. Will definitely eat here again.

Holly behind the bar was a breath of fresh air, so pleasant and eager to please. An asset. The sandwiches were very good and served quickly. Overall the group we were with had mixed feelings about the food and service but I thought ok.

Great for a family meal as there is a very varied menu to suit all. Very attractive place with a nice garden to sit in. Food was very good and arrived promptly. The young waitress was friendly and service was good. Only negatives are that the older lady taking orders could have been more friendly and put a smile on her face (always helps in making you want to return) and the decaf coffee was tasteless.....no excuse these days as more ask for it and you can get very decent coffee. Good overall though.

What an amazing little pub. We had a lovely family meal. Food was very hot, and fresh. This was Our first time visiting and we will definitely be back! Very happy family. 😊

Et meget hyggeligt sted, kommer lidt tilbage til det gamle England. Trænger dog lidt til at blive frisket op. Mad var okay. Ikke noget umiddelbart fantastisk at køre efter.

We have visited this family run country inn & restaurant now since 1995 and can certainly say we shall be back again and again. The food is excellent, plenty of it, lots of choice and friendly staff. A choice of bar, intimate areas in the restaurant, or the vaulted roof area for larger groups to eat in. We came last Saturday with friends in a group of 8 for a 3 course lunch, which, as we wanted, was a leisurely experience. We did not feel rushed as we were still there 3.5 hours later! Thanks to the team at the Gold Cup Inn, we had a wonderful meal in good company

Waited 40 minutes for food to arrive- nothing complicated- scampi and chips( no vegetables requested) and beef and Yorkshire pudding . Scampi and chips ok- except peas were on the plate and it had to be returned to the kitchen to get them removed. Having said that the meal was delicious. Roast beef and gravy lukewarm - couldn’t eat it so I didn’t. Went to pay and explained the problem, but instead of apologising the young waitress made great play of scoring out the beef on the bill. Then appeared 2 minutes later to say that the chef had said the meal was hot when served- it absolutely wasn’t ! Asked if I wanted anything else- on the house. Declined the offer as although hungry, needed to get back to Pocklington for 2.30 and it was already 2.10. It either was not hot enough to start with or sat waiting for the only waitress to serve. Such a pity as we are locals who eat out regularly and really wanted to like and support local businesses

Not sure what has happened, went for a Sunday lunch, the starters were a joke in terms of quality or produce and quantity. The roast was extremely disappointing and looked, tasted and felt like it was all bought in. Roast potatoes, very tasteless, felt like they had been boiled and then shown the oven for a few mins, the meat had been cut into 1” cubes and spread out then covered in what tasted like packet gravy. The Yorkshire puddings were clearly bought in perhaps Aunt Bessies (this was confirmed by the waitress). Felt disappointed, ripped off and like they were using unskilled/semi skilled people in the kitchen.

Exellent sunday dinner staff very friendly

Friendly, good choice, reasonable prices.

Was recommended but the food was poor. The worst fillet steak I've ever had. I wasn't charged for it but it ruined the experience

Friends travelled a long distance to visit us and have lunch out post Christmas, having heard good things about The Gold Cup it was here we came. From entering the building to leaving the whole experience was great. Friendly and efficient service with superb food. One of our party is a smaller eater and was thrilled with the "smaller appetites" menu. Will certainly be visiting again.

A pub I like is the Gold Cup Inn

Pub & food stuck in the 80s Pro: Friendly staff Cons: pricey and dated menu The menu is some what something I’d expected in the late 80s . Except it was ridiculously over priced for what you got. I don’t mind paying £23 for a...

A Really lovely evening at the Gold Cup Inn. Food excellent staff wonderful, well done all

Excellent food and service. Couldn't believe how quickly 53 of us were served with piping hot food. Good atmosphere.

Great food and a proper country pub atmosphere. Sarah and staff continue to provide a great service and excellent food.

Can highly recommend The Gold Cup, Had a lovely lunch time meal today, always good home cooked food, and amazing staff who are always happy to serve you.

Food was good and the service thank you

Fantastic food and lovely staff!

It’s ok but for the price it should at least be good. We ate as a family with three small children. The kids meals were the first sign that all was not well in the kitchen. We ordered cheeseburger kids meals and got a decent...

Most delicious food lovely service polite bar made

I meet here once a month for a small club event and there's always great food - the duck with orange sauce is especially recommended. Good covid processes, cold Guinness on tap as well as local beers and friendly owners.

Delightful staff, delicious food, will definitely be back!

Great family lunch. Food was very very good. Sunday lunch prices were reasonable. Excellent staff. Enthusiastic and helpful.

Lovely beer garden out back, seating out front for quick stops and a proper pub feel inside. Very welcoming and friendly staff, were great with my youngest when we stopped by. Eaten here several times and always enjoyed it, proper pub food. Family friendly but bring some entertainment for the kids because there's no play area. There's some nice riverside walks which lead to the pub and the roads in the area are good for cyclists. Dog friendly in the bar so it's a perfect stop off for dog walks.

Beautiful meal as always, been going here for years and it never disappoints. Great customer service as well!

Cosy traditional pub serving very tasty food, friendly staff and one of the best roast dinners in this area!

Main was ok if a little pricey for what we got. Pudding was not good. It tasted like microwaved supermarket Bakewell tart in congealed custard. No taste and slimy consistency. My husband’s orange cheesecake looked better but tasted of lemon?? We waited ages for the...

Very lovely meal with my besties for my birthday. Thanks to all the staff.

We’ve found our experiences here in recent times very hit and miss. On occasions the food has been excellent and others poor, whilst service has been polite we would describe it as cold which is a great description for the atmosphere on the last few...

Glad we went. Had it recommended and were not disappointed. A little pricey but if you really enjoy it then it's definitely worth it, and enjoy it we did. Yes. Would definitely go again. Many thanks to the chef

Our meal was booked for 19.30 didn't get served until 20.40. The plates were hot but food Luke warm obviously left on a hot plate or something. I had chargtilled chicken with brie and a tomato and basil sauce. Chicken dry no flavour sauce tasted...

We booked in advance, welcomed on arrival. Meal were exceptional. We chose the duck and the gammon. Well worth a visit and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Delightful mid-spring meal. Excellent hospitality, delicious food, lovely back garden. A perfect local pub off the beaten path. Our family enjoyed it enormously.

A lovely pub, friendly staff and a great pints of real bitter that seems to be missing from my part of the world. Great food and places to inside and out.

62, South End, Bassingbourn, Royston, SG8 5NL, GB

Everything was lovely but the puh was freezing. Only us 7 people in the Restaurant eating

Fantastic food, great staff and excellent value!

Lovely environment. Great food Friendly and pleasant staff

We had lunch at the Gold Cup yesterday. The meals were all excellent and staff were friendly and very helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Lovely meal last night although my pie was strange a sort Of flat scone /cobbler top , meat was beautiful but was craving a proper pie oh well shall have some thing else next time Hubby had roast beef dinner he really enjoyed that, all food was piping hot !

The owner was rude and unprofessional to my 80 yr old mother in law when she enquired about a group booking over the telephone. Serious poor customer service issues. We booked elsewhere.

I've been visiting the Gold Cup since I was young, and will continue to do so. Many years down the line its never failed me for the excellent food, Irish Coffee , and Beer. The staff are so obliging, helpful and polite nothing is too much trouble . On visiting today i asked if at all possible I could have pasta ,with spinach, also cheese . Matthew the chef happened to hear my conversation and said he'd put something together for me no problem. When it arrived , it was so very well presented , smelt divine , and tasted so dam good !! I'd just like to say *Thank You * Matthew !

Great staff, food and ambiance, all for a really good price.

Been going with my family for years and thought I should leave a review, it’s just bloody outstanding. The food is never ever bad I’m talking years of experience, the service is absolutely top notch due to how damn lovely the staff are and generally just a fantastic and genuinely wonderful place to go for an evening meal and a bev. Couldn’t recommend it higher!

Good food extremely friendly and helpful staff.

Had a fantastic 'Sunday dinner' at teatime on Sunday with family after a 13 mile walk. Only rang up to book at lunchtime and they cheerily booked us in. Really good friendly staff and one of the best roast dinners I have ever had. Genuinely...

Good service and good food yet again highly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed going for our meal tonight the atmosphere was great and the meal was very good 💯
