Goodmanham Arms in East Riding of Yorkshire

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. 👍

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.

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

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.

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

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 🤣

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

A really great place with amazing atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Visited here last night ( Italian Night ) , the food was exquisite, i had steak , OMG i must say I have eaten in a lot of places and The Goodmanham Arms tops the lot! The steak was cooked to perfection ! My mother had the Sea Food Platter which was also to die for , highly recommended , the evening was superb with wonderful company , and the staff were friendly , this place is a MUST if you are visiting the area . Compliments to the chef , we will be back .

We travelled a fair distance to get here and hoped that it would live up to our expectations. We weren’t disappointed! The pub is quirky and full of character;the beer selection is great; the food was lovely and in huge portions,but best of all was the staff who were friendly,helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Loved it and we will return.

I’ve been going here infrequently for 12+ years having previously lived in the village. Food has always been excellent and very reasonably priced. Beer is usually very good, and if you can, support the All Hallows Brewery (all the way on the other side of the carpark-cum-beer garden). Sunday roasts are limited so book in advance! No dogs during food service.

We went on a Wednesday night, had to book it was busy. Staff are so friendly and efficient, food was amazing. Candlelit tables, great atmosphere. We had the fish with a selection of 4, Halibut, sea bream, plaice and scallops. Pork chops and steak. All delicious, would definitely recommend.

Another great visit, local food and drink. Lovely atmosphere, just candlelight. Very reasonable prices, large steaks. Friendly staff.

Very good food, very polite staff, and a perfect pub atmosphere.

Very good food, excellent service, and a very good selection of real ale, although it could have been a tad warmer, the real ale.

Love this place, always a great atmosphere, great staff and fantastic beer 🍺

The Goodman Arms is a great proper traditional English village pub. It serves an excellent range of hand pulled cask conditioned real ale, 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.

Had lunch with friends- during a walk - it was a lovely day and we sat outside. The food was superb with large portions and staff were lovely.

I really hate writing this review of my favourite pub, Monday night, 5.30, reservation, pie night, menu one , one pie, lamb and ? And two steaks. Pie night ????? And then at 7.30, our lovely waitress, asked us to vacate our table , because more folks needed it, bang went our pud and coffee. !!! Web page says 5.30 7.30 food served. not another table, inside or out available, home we went. And I hate to mention this, but this is the second time in the museum we have been persecuted by flys. Maybe a victim of your own suscess . Well deserved in my opinion. But left very dissopointed, for the first . But food for thought i hope goodmanham.

Lovely food but get here early, steak pie not available from 1.30 ish. Probably best to book. No on site parking but there is a small car park nearby and some street parking.

Amazing, quirky, cute pub lit by gas lights. Great real ale. Covered external seating area too. Car park 200yds down the street from pub

One of the nicest pubs in the East Riding -quirky decor and great food

Fantastic place to end a lovely walk on the Wolds. Really good selection of beers and very quaint beer garden. Friendly bar staff and locals.

Visited this pub many times and it never fails to disappoint! Staff are always friendly! Really good service! And food is simply fab! A big shout out to Abi and her grandkids for going out their way for my daughter this week! X

This is just the most incredible pub, in Yorkshire, in so many ways. We have had many fantastic lunches here over the years and this week we went for the Italian evening. Quality is exceptional especially for the price. Seafood Linguine was the best I've...

Perfect olde worlde pub with friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and excellent food. Good fair prices too. Just wish it was closer to where we live so that we could spend more time there.

Just popped in for a drink. Great atmosphere, loads of character.

Great food and pub. Been here many times and never been disappointed m

Brilliant. Just a little too much for the 4 of us. Ring before you go to avoid disappointment.

Only had drinks but lovely garden & great beer. Service was excellent.

Award winning pub and its not difficult to see why with a wide selection of really good beers and fantastic food at reasonable prices. We had Sunday lunch there and I have to say it was the best I can remember ever having in a pub. We are in the area for a few more days so will eat there again for sure. 100% a must for any good pub lover.

Lovely place for a pit stop. Real old classic pub with characterful people

Traditional country pub with great tasting own beers and lager (All Hallows) and guest ales. Beer garden and comfy outdoor seating area.

Nice pub.. very quirky. Strange rule about bringing a dog.. You can but not during food times. I don't really know what difference that makes? It's a pub . Nice selection of ales 👍

Sophia is amazing. She is an excellent bar tender who is willing to go above and beyond. The drink selection and food are excellent. The atmosphere is fantastic. The beer garden is beautiful and the staff can't do enough for you.

I had been wanting to visit this place for a while, and had heard good things. sadly when we went today it was most disappointing. We had booked for 1pm and the place was busy but not rammed. There was only one person behjnd the...

Spent a marvelous evening here with the girls from work. Fantastic food, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Highly recommend this wonderful little pub 😁

I would like to thank Vito and Abbie so much for a wonderfull night . My sons 30th birthday we enjoyed a stunning Italian night. The food was amaizing , all the dishes ww had from the fresh stunning fish . To the amaizing fillet...

Only popped in for a drink, but everyone very friendly. Lovely outside area with park for children 😊 food looked lovely aswel

Everything was spot on, this will be my new local when visiting my sister .

Lovely outside beer garden. Friendly staff and food was very good, really great value too. Have returned this week too with my husband for lunch and will be booking for Sunday lunch which I’ve heard it excellent !

Lot of character - cosy and unique and the food was great - good quality, I just had a ham sandwich but the meat was so good. Also a busy time we visited but our food came out fast.

Superb local full of customers in the early evening making a wonderful atmosphere. We visited on a night when they didn't do food but I'm assured that it's excellent.

Brilliant food as always, sea bass and prawns, pork chops with mint. Yum. Staff friendly and helpful, good beer on tap too.

I really like this place. It's close to my perfect pub. Nice beer garden and a really good selection of beers. The service is excellent, and the pub itself crammed with character. If I lived nearby, I'd be happy to make this my local. Sadly I don't. I can't comment on the food because we didn't eat here but hope to be back soon.

Great country pub, lovely outside seating area , menu slightly limited but great food. Very busy on a Tuesday lunch, says it all . Recommended.

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.

Great place, friendly service, value for money

Exactly how a pub should be Unapologetically just a great English pub Exceptional food, great atmosphere and great staff

Wonderful pub - great beer and a friendly welcome.

Was a sunny afternoon. The pub is very old village feel to it. (Not for me) bit can see other people loving it. The staff where amazing even with the pub really busy. Unfortunately we didn't grt food as they had to stop due to running out. This must say something for how good the food is

Lovely place ,lots to look at on the wall and ceilings ,staff really nice . Food well cooked and presented .

Nice selection of beers, great wholesome food. Reasonably priced for the location.

Great pub for food and drink and a great atmosphere

Very popular village pub with lots of charm , gets very busy with walkers etc so advice booking . Some outdoor seating , no pub car park but there is a small free village car park a couple of minutes walk away . Daily specials...

Fantastically quirky pub full of interesting stuff. Staff and the owner were welcoming and hospitable. Food was enjoyable- pasta dish huge which stopped me having a dessert- shame as they were homemade.

Came the other week was lovely - I had this amazing rum, can’t remember the name, it was a spiced rum with a engraved/decorative bottle, don’t suppose you guys know the name ?

Great real ale pub. Full of character.

Heaps of character and great beer.... A very special place. Just enjoyed a Sunday lunch, choice of pork, beef, lamb or turkey. Really nicely cooked....we had the lamb and turkey.

Lovely country pub Quirky Winning lots of awards We go monday night , pie or steak Wonderful
