Goldies Bar in Hambleton

Visited as a couple 7 March. We were staying in the hotel. Ambience was good. The eating area could perhaps do with a bit of updating but it is fine. Menu is a mix of pub classics and more adventurous dishes. I had one of the latter as a starter, Lamb Tagine Roll with harissa mayo and smoked aubergine purée. Very good. The roll had chunks of lamb and the mayo had a kick. Tasted and presented very well. I had steak and ale pie for main. Appeared home made with real chips. Again very good Mrs W had the pork belly which she enjoyed too. We had a very nice bottle of NZ Sav Blanc as well. Very good value.

Absolutely excellent cafe. A lovely warm welcome and offer of help with my companions, some of whom had mobility issues. The service and food was absolutely lovely and not overpriced and everyone gave them a 10 out of 10. Highly recommend. There is very easy access to cafe and toilets and we shall return. Thanks to all the lovely staff 😊

Just had an Indian delivered to our lodge from here and it’s one of the best Indian meals we’ve ever had, amazing, hot, generous portions *****

Staff were very polite and helpful. Cannot fault the service. However, the cooked food was lukewarm for both meals and then went cold within minutes due to cold plates. One chicken casserole and the other was pork stroganoff. Obviously we could have asked for it to be reheated but I’m not keen on reheated pork and really it should have been hot to start with; perhaps food thermometers should be kept in the dishes to keep tabs of the temperature. This might have been a one off but disappointing.

A delightful place to spend time, to eat and to enjoy a perfect coffee. The lovely staff is a bonus.
