Goodmanham Arms in East Riding of Yorkshire

Really disappointed considering the current score of 4.8. Locals were rude making you feel quite unwelcome. The staff were nice and friendly and got my wife and I a table to eat at. I almost wish they hadn't though, as the food was mediocre at best. We both asked for ribeye steaks but received what appeared to be a sirloin. Steak was full of fat and quite chewy/tough for a medium rare cook. Flavour was good but had to leave about a third of it due to the excessive amount of fat on the cut. The chips and black pudding were both under cooked, whilst the peas were over. No-one checked on us after being served and we left unsatisfied. Such a shame as it looked and felt like it was going to be good.

Visited again today for Sunday lunch. 5 of us. Good ale as always. I had the lamb with mint gravy. The lamb was ever so tender and delicious. It had all the trimmings. The veg were good, not overcooked. Good lemon tiramisu for desert. Yum. Visited again today for lunch. Steak baguette with Stilton, great chips and nice salad. Good ale again. Great ale, nice ambience, pity evening food is only on Monday.

The Goodmanham Arms is a lovely country pub in a most picturesque area of the East Riding of Yorkshire. The atmosphere is amazing, if it is hot, it has a lovely beer garden, if cold and rainy, it has a great fireplace and is cosy and warm. The Sunday roast is exceedingly popular (please book in advance) because it is a really mouth watering experience... and the Yorkshire puddings are the real deal, they are really something to die for. Locals are very, very friendly, so you will always get someone to share a pint with, even if you come on your own. Totally recommended.

Great food, great staff, great beer.

Steak And Pie Evening With Free Pint Wine Or Soft Drink. Excellent service, lovely atmosphere candlelight. Tasty food, excellent beers. Need to book.

Great pub, great atmosphere, great beer, also have a micro brewery on site, quirky place, a proper English country pub, prices great, well worth a visit.

Would have been a pleasant visit but for the behaviour of a grey haired woman who appeared to be the manager. She snarled and snapped at me for daring to asking advice regarding the largers on offer, none of which I had any knowledge. After I'd ordered two meals and two drinks I appeared to become invisible after later requesting iced water. I waa ignored by her and all the staff at the bar until a lovely woman who wasn't in uniform asked if I was being served and kindly brought iced water. As we left she also asked if we had enjoyed our meal. When I settled the bill the extremely rude grey haired woman didn't bother to ask. Enjoyable meal completely spoilt.

Great place, super friendly staff, god beer

Love this Pub, So Friendly, Staff Lovely, Hosts Abbey and Vito so welcoming. Food delicious. Our best days out with friends here.

The Goodmanham Arms is easily one of the best pubs I've had the pleasure of visiting. With its warm and inviting atmosphere, the character of this charming establishment is enhanced by its oak barrels of Old Peculiar, which is an absolute treat. The staff are exceptional—friendly, and attentive. The pub itself has a cosy, traditional feel, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a pint. Whether you're there for the drinks, the ambiance, or just great company, the Goodmanham Arms nails it on every front.

Lovely olde worlde style pub Always busy , dark, atmospheric. Menu varies according to the daily board.

I ask see food pasta today 6/09/24 When it came all the prawns cooked and left you to clean including Mussels plus full of tomato sauce no garlic. Very disappointed

A well loved and used pub with many great ales and nice food. Regardless of the time of day, you will always find a good crowd here.

I've had many anomalies amazing Sunday lunch here, over the years, but until last Wednesday, hadn't been to their Italian night. The place was heaving, and we watched some of the food come out before we made our choices. We friend had a vegetarian risotto, and I had a pasta dish with tomato and Italian sausage. Both dishes were presented beautifully, and we're very tasty. We followed up with elderflower and lemon cheesecakes - which were heavenly. Very friendly and courteous staff, great atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough. Book ahead.

Very character full country pub, wonderful.

Nice selection of draught beer and bottles havert tried the food but there was plenty eating while I was there nice outdoor space

Fantastic pub, great staff and landlady who spent time chatting to us. Fantastic beer at good prices. Highly recommended.

Quick stop for a pint on a hot summer day, and it was a nice place. We will definitely make a point of returning when we're next in the area.

Great experience, going back 100 years

Lovely little old fashioned pub . Staff are jolly and helpful. Always smiling. Great old fashioned theme Fantastic location Food.... good average pub grub Why only 3 🌟.... one of my pet hates is bar staff that fill up (Not use fresh glasses) customers beer glasses from hand pulled pumps. I think now a day's it's not right and it can possibly spread infection Other than that it's ok

Great selection of beers, friendly landlord and staff.. Sunny day so sat in the undercover garden area. Liked

Loved it, quiet kid and pet friendly pub. Food was beautiful will definitely be back when we pass this way again.

Loved this place and hope to go back soon to sample the menu. Fab pub, open fires and interesting artefacts on the walls and ceiling. Cosy feel, lovely welcome and we had a very nice coffee.

Excellent pint or two food very good 👍

Stunning Sunday lunch, huge portion, with all the trimmings... definitely worth a visit

Very good pub. Great selection of ale and great value.

My favourite pub of all time! Lovely atmosphere.

Absolutely superb food and service! We went as part of our Hull Dining Group as had heard the food was of excellent standard and quality. I have to say they did not disappoint! The portion sizes huge, the quality was excellent and the service was perfect. The pub itself is very quaint with bags of character. They even sell local free range eggs and home made jams (which we of course had to pick up) They had no problem in catering for a large group of 10 and there were no delays in the food coming out all around the same time. They also catered for vegetarian option with a substantial sized pie and also able to cater for gluten free at the last minute. Overall this place is excellent.

Great cosy pub/restaurant. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is very "quirky" inside. With all old fashioned binoculars, cups, cameras, jugs. Hanging from the ceiling to name a few items. The walls have shelves with all old fashioned items on them. Photos are also on the walls. It is interesting to see and spot all the items. Outside sitting is available. No carpark is available. Free on street parking.

Beautiful home cooked food. Not the widest selection but you know its all cooked fresh and the portions are more than ample in my opinion.

Always a lovely meal here owners and staff are wonderful a warm welcome by all.

Excellent Sunday be back for when visitoring family

Excellent beer and a beautiful old local inn

Great pub full of interesting memorabilia, good selection of ales, dog friendly outside of food service. They only do food on certain days so it's worth checking the website or Facebook and it's well worth it for the money. Ideally need to book.

This pub is amazing. I only went in for a sandwich, come out full to the drum. Proper home cooked food and the pub itself is amazing, very old!

Excellent range of quality beer and very tasty food

Had lunch today. Sandwiches were excellent, but the burger was the best I have ever had. Fansatic friendly service. But phone to check your reservation.

Love this place. Lovely food, nice beer and wine selection, nice ambiance and friendly staff.

Absolutely outstanding....food was amazing as was the service from all of the staff. Location and atmosphere fantastic. Excellent value for money.

The best pub in the area, so quirky and cozy, also the BEST Sunday dinners.

Didn't have food, but it looked great. Fantastic range of cask ales. Great beer garden too. Located in a nice village. Staff super friendly. Only a short walk out of Market Weighton. But well worth it. Oh and the beer is a keen price, but that felt incidental

Great pub with proper ale. Staff are excellent and the food is amazing - especially the Goody burger 🍔. You won’t be disappointed.

Perfect pub. Traditional great ales very reasonable priced and excellent food.

The Goodman Arms is a great proper traditional English village pub. It serves an excellent range of hand pulled, cask conditioned real ale cheaper than a lot of pubs. Some of the beer is brewed on site by the landlady. It's a lovely cosy pub with two real fires and an interesting collection of memorabilia, including the landlords motorbikes. The traditional home cooked food is excellent. There is a beer garden and outside seating area. No bar games. The pub is regularly in the camra good Beer Guide.

Really cute, quirky pub with its own microbrewery. We got such a warm welcome from both staff and customers when we popped in after our walk. Unfortunately food wasn't on when we visited due to a wake later in the day, but we will be back to try it!

We stopped by after a walk, hadn't booked, but they checked with the chef and said we could eat if we ordered quickly as they had a large group arriving, which we did. Got a table outside in the glorious sunshine. We had 2 roasts, a kids roast and a tortellini. All huge, and delicious 😋 . Not expensive either, less than £70 for our food and drinks for 4 people. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic pub vitto and Abbey are amazing lovely people staff work hard to make the pub so friendly and just love the food and lovely pints beers 🍻 💯 % we visited this pub for years but now we are travelling we dont get thy much but we definitely wil return in the future thanks vitto and Abbey staff 😀 😊

I had mushroom pasta. Wife had the fully loaded burger .and was very tasty and didn't have to wait long for it to be served outside in the spacious and intriguing Court yard plenty of things to look at and talk about .locals was very inviting and talked to us as though we new them forever. Staff where great .so if your passing call in you won't regret it

Four of us visited on a Thursday lunch time in April. The food was superb. I had the ploughman’s and my husband and our friends had the sea food platter, followed off with a crumble for sweet. The food was a very reasonable price and the staff were very friendly. The venue itself is lovely, a typical olde world country style pub in a beautiful village. I would highly recommend the pub and look forward to visiting again in the future.

Our friends were taking us on a short culinary adventure in Yorkshire and this was our first stop for lunch. I trusted my friends’s judgement but ,on a cold windy day ,the outside left a bit to be desired. Inside was a different matter with the log fire blazing and all tables reserved. The menu was promising but what arrived was brilliant. The veggie platter for the girls was delicious and enough for two. John and I both had the Ploughmans which was a very generous helping of 4 cheeses and a lovely chunk of pie. Delicious!!

Great pub, well run, excellent food and ales

What a wonderful pub! Staff were brilliant, the ambiance was brilliant, the quirkiness was brilliant, the food was absolutely delicious.. I had the best fillet steak I have had in years and years.. it was cooked to perfection and came piping hot. I would have preferred chips to roast potatoes but that’s ok. One thing only, the bar is small and drinkers cluster around it. It would have been nice if the staff offered to bring drinks to the table.

Amazing food, fantastic service and fab atmosphere! The food was absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection! Cannot wait to return!

My husband and I both had Sunday lunch today at the Goodmanham Arms. We both went for the beef. When the meals arrived they both came with 2 thick slices of beef, cooked medium rare and were absolutely delicious. They were accompanied by a lovely mixture of vegetables which were also cooked to perfection. Also Yorkie pud, roasties and mashed potato. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. It is definitely a step above the usual roast beef and trimmings. Would definitely recommend. 👍

Firstly, the good stuff. This is a fantastic pub. One of the best I’ve ever visited for atmosphere and proper ale. It’s the sort of place you never want to leave. The young girl behind the bar was so friendly and helpful. Our table was reserved and ready . It’s was madly busy but that’s a good thing. We ordered various Sunday lunch options and I had the half chicken. Absolutely lovely and really enjoyed it. There was only one veggie option for my partner and she didn’t really fancy that so I asked for just the veg. What turned up wasn’t really much and we asked for extra which to be fair, they brought. But no veggie gravy? It was dry and not very appealing. We were paying for a dinner, so come on,slap an extra potato and an extra Yorkie on there and a bit of non meat gravy! Not much more effort but way nicer for the customer. That’s the only negative in an otherwise lovely afternoon. Like I say, this is a great pub !

Epic pub, loved it 😁 Food was delicious 😋 Will be back

Quaint olde worlde pub in a nice setting. Food and ale was spot on. The steak pie must have had half a cow in it and was a struggle to finish but I managed. You could spend half a day just looking at the curio's and antiques in the pub. Two roaring fires gave it a homely atmosphere and the locals were friendly and up for some banter.

We called in for the first time for lunch before we started our walk. It was a gorgeous sunny day so we sat outside which was lovely in the spring sunshine. We ordered drinks and the tomato vegetable pasta and fish and chips. The pasta was extremely over cooked and sloppy and just slipped straight off my fork onto my clothes and the garlic bread was overdone and tasted a bit stale. The tastiest thing about my pasta was the mushrooms and we all know they’re pretty tasteless. I managed about three mouthfuls and pushed my plate to the side. My husband had the fish and chips which again was quite tasteless though the homemade chips were very good. I don’t usually write bad reviews but it is quite possible the worst meal I’ve had which is so disappointing as the beer garden and atmosphere was lovely. We should have mentioned something at the time but with a pub full, it can make you particularly uncomfortable and not once did a waitress ask if everything was ok when clearing empty glasses despite a full plate of food being left. Such a shame.

Great little pub sat in middle of a beautiful village.

Fabulous food and warm atmosphere...!! Booked for Italian night 20th March, as it had been a 'special' birthday on 19th March..!! Visited with hubby, step-daughter and one grandson.....hubby and had seafood linguine - fabulous ...!! Stepdaughter had lasagne....fabulous...!! Grandson chose of kids menu - pasta in tomato sauce plus ice cream and brownie ..!! Service excellent and food equally so....!! A great evening Thank you Vito, Abbie and all staff 😋😋😋😋🥰 We will be back ❤️

Dogs only allowed in when food not served

So much food. Beautifully cooked and presented. Reasonable price. Definitely best roast lunch I've had. Drinks and coffee were good too. Too full up to have dessert.

Maintaining the ancient hospitality of the village pub.

Good atmosphere and a good evening had by all

Wonderful family fireside lunch today in cosy surroundings accompanied with the best local Yorkshire beers. Personally, I think you’ll struggle to find a finer pub in the area, a true gem nestled in the beautiful Wolds. Good honest home made food, quality ingredients and proper portions! Extensive range of hand pulled ales, championing 8 local breweries. Friendly, warm & welcoming hosts made our visit all the better. A must if visiting the area.

Vito and Abbie always very welcoming and accommodating, we had Xmas dinner( just before Christmas), not joking it was the best Xmas dinner I’ve ever had, asked if I could get a takeout on Cmas day 🤣

A wonderful stop on our walk. Traditional cosy pub. The food was on point with an excellent selection of local cask ales.

Simply lovely food we had the daily gypsy pot cooked over the fire beautiful. The service was also first class and choice of drinks were varied. The only thing that spoilt our experience was a couple of locals were in the main bar area and to say there language was colourful would be off the mark one of them I think could only converse in foul colourful language, such a shame

Very good meal staff very pleasant like going back in time loved it big thank you

A quirky pub in a small village We visited on a Thursday lunchtime and it was packed our Chicken and chorizo dish was very tasty with a choice of roast or chips and fresh veg. Nice friendly staff and good service I would suggest prebooking as it was vey busy

Is this the best pub in East Yorkshire with the best food? Yes! I've been a few times now but we went on Italian night on a Wednesday. My God, this is how Italian food should be cooked. No surprise as the Landlord is Italian himself, but you have to go and try it out. Sunday lunch superb as well, delicious and very generous portions. Even if you fancy just a pint, there is no better pub.

Great food all cooked from scratch. Really good service and friendly helpful staff. Good atmosphere with open log fire

A cosy atmospheric and historic pub with great food, good ale and its own microbrewery. We have visited many times over the years and it never disappoints. On this visit just drinks and sandwiches but the presentation, and salad garnish were excellent. There are lots of great walks and dog routes locally so it can be the focus for a lovely day out. At this time of year the menu is on the daily specials board but even when quiet they cater for all tastes.

Really would like to book for this Sunday lunch but not answering the phone to take my booking 😒 Been trying since yesterday.

Wow. This pub was amazing. Cosy, quaint, amazing food, brilliant staff. I wish I lived nearby, so this could be my local!

Lovely lunch on Saturday thankyou

Nice atmosphere, good food, home larger "goody" is very tasty

Great place for a meal, a beer and a catch-up with friends. Cosy venue and friendly staff - feels like you're going back in time. Highly recommend.

First rate - absolutely what you want from a traditional pub... the food was excellent and not with silly hyped up prices like some places.

Always a five star visit Vito and staff are wonderful.

After our walk, we visited Goodmanham Arms, which was an experience of sampling an older public house with fine beers and low lighting with an ambience, unlike other public houses, highly recommended 😀

One of the best ! Staff were very accommodating of a change in time , never felt hurried despite it been busy ,food great and very good value 😀 small point for owner there is still some covid signs that are confusing

Very very popular and luckily we got the last available table. Really need to get there for opening time or pre book if possible,? Especially if you want to be by a roaring fire. Our meals were first class, very tasty Christmas lunch with all the trimmings and a very good chicken in a brandy and Stilton sauce with loads of very tasty cooked veg.

We love this place!! It's weird, quirky and absolutely oozes atmosphere. We live an hour and a half away near Lincoln but come several times a year and never, ever regret making the journey. The beer is great (though I wish they'd stock 'Old Peculiar!) and the food excellent. I could rave on for hours about the food, actually. My wife is a brilliant cook and all so often I find that eating out is a big step down in quality. Not here, though - the Xmas menu we had today was simply the best I've ever tasted outside of home. The roaring log fires and Xmas decs really added to the ambience and, as always, the staff were marvellous - everyone was given a warm, friendly welcome and their approach greatly added to the overall warmth of the place. I feel I ought to be saying something critical but, frankly, this is just too good a pub to try to find things to quibble about. If you like quirky and atmospheric then this has to be one of the very best pubs in Yorkshire. I just wish we lived closer and could make it our Local!

Lovely traditional pub with chimneys,v and good food and beer

Lovely food, service is brilliant. What more can I say ??

Great pub which, despite being in a very small village, was absolutely packed on a Saturday afternoon. Booking is essential if you want to eat. The pub is crammed with tables which is a bit of an issue if you have mobility problems. The menu is on a board which you're best taking a photo of. It would be great if the board was updated more frequently as some of our first choices were sold out. A big selling point is the gypsy pot, where food is cooked over the fire. There is no parking and quite a steep climb into the pub. Again, this can be problematic if you struggle with walking. The staff were run off their feet but service was swift and efficient. If you want a proper pub with atmosphere you could do worse than visiting the Goodmanham Arms.

A very popular pub but my first visit there. The atmosphere and traditionally old pub is great and there is an excellent selection of well kept and tasty beers. My lunch of a turkey sandwich was a little disappointing but maybe I chose badly. I will try to give it another visit.

Best kept east yorkshire secret.

What a lovely little gem this is we didn't stay for food just popped by for a drink on route walking the dog and sat outside will definitely call back for food though

Best pub in Yorkshire hands down.

What a little gem of a place this is. Only sat outside for a drink as we had the dog who are only allowed in at non-food times (which is good) but had a look round inside and its so quirky and welcoming. Food also looked amazing. Will definitely go back.

Had the Sunday lunch here - the beef - and was hugely impressed with it. I was recommended to try it and was very glad I did! Delicious local beef, cooked perfectly and with lots of flavour. Quite salty which I rather liked. And no skimping either - plenty of meat on the plate. Thought the pub had a good atmosphere - if anything, it was slightly too loud for my liking but this is a very authentic local pub which had clearly made a point of its good food. The village itself is pleasant to walk around, though it’s a very small place. I would highly recommend this pub. I really liked the service too, the staff were very welcoming. A great place!

Didn't eat here , but the food looked very good and well priced. Those we spoke to said the food was lovely. Good beer choice, and it is well kept. Prices are acceptable. Will visit as often as we can.

Absolutely first class pub. Sunday roast is best I've had in area, staff are lovely and in colder months the open fire is ace. Highly recommend.

Lovely English pub with a fabulous atmosphere and delicious food at great prices.

A very special, cosy friendly little pub with several draught ales!

Great pub, great food, great beer & great service. Proper.

Excellent country pub. Lovely staff, so welcoming & great food. Outdoor space ideal & area for kids to play whilst parents relax.

Best pub ever, I recommend this place to alot of people. Definitely worth a visit, good selection of drinks
