Governors House in Hambleton - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Always love this place, the food is amazing with massive portions and the staff are so friendly. Chicken bacon french toast is my new favourite meal!

Service always great and food lovely. Took advantage of the ‘kids eat for £1 offer’ which is fab for the school holidays.

We had a lovely get together. We had planned for lunch but opted for the bottomless brunch option. Amazing, tasty food. Lovely and attentive staff. Plenty of choices for drinks. We will definitely be back ☺️

Absolutely lovely! We popped in for coffee after looking at the premises opposite; for our joint art display with The Art Crowd. The manager is exceptional, she is friendly, welcoming and makes for brilliant customer service throughout the establishment. We had coffees and sundaes, we recommend these! So fruity and lots of flavour! Such a treat! Brilliant place to go! If you are parking your car try the car park on Crosby road or near the forum as lidl only give you 90 minutes. Can't wait to call again when we put up our art display. The square outside has seating area and gas a hood feel to it. Next time we visit Governor's House we are going to try the pancakes!

Always great food and drink at Governors House and the service is great. Everyone working is so friendly and fab with the kids on our table

Always a fantastic experience. Food is absolutely amazing and our waitress Tegan could not have been more friendly - a credit to the team. All staff super friendly and great atmosphere.

Absolutely wonderful place for coffee, breakfast, food and drinks. Been here many times before but the first time doing bottomless brunch and would highly recommend the menu and drinks to anyone! The food is a gorgeous as it looks but we stopped taking photos at drink number 2! The staff are amazing - go above and beyond to make sure everything is as you want it! Thank you all x

No atmosphere as only us in there.

Great bottomless brunch. Would definitely recommend x

Great food service atmosphere and lovely music

Always our favourite place to meet up for brunch! We had the beef Benedict from the specials board and it was one of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had. The full English breakfast is huge too none of it greasy like you get at some places. Staff are really friendly and the place itself is lovely plenty of tables not too close to each other and they have booths. Will always recommend this place!

Took the girls prior to a visit to the cinema! Large portions, kids pancakes were awesome along with the mrs eggs royale and large breakfast for myself. Only niggle was a dog in the restaurant on the next table which kept barking which spoilt the atmosphere but thankfully left after 15mins. Real Gem in northallerton! Use it or lose it Northallerton!!

Popped in here for a delightful lunch after a bit of pottery painting with my friend. It was very quiet which was lovely, although I suspect usually it is busier - we did come on the day of the England final after all. The food was amazing. So delicious and great portion sizes. Brilliant place, what a gem.

Lovely lunch. Tasty well prepared food. Excellent service from attentive staff.

Staff were very attentive especially with our children. Food was very tasty.

First time here, we were going to another venue nearby which was closed on Tuesdays but really pleased as we wouldn’t have found this gem . I’m coeliac and waitress was very knowledgeable as majority of dishes could be made gluten free. We both Opted for burger choices which were home made and lovely but it was the side salad that stole the show, never had one with as much variety of vegetables, seeds and salad items. Home made lemonade was delicious . With a tip £20 head . Most definitely visiting again 😊

Overpriced and undercooked full English and no black pudding. Ridiculous

Great food and bottomless brunch! Live music on Friday nights now too!

The food is so delicious 🤤. Service is always amazing and friendly. Deffos my new favourite place!

Visited for the first time and last time yesterday. Waitress friendly enough but the table was filthy, the cutlery and water glass were dirty. In fact the place needs a good deep clean!!!

Amazing !!! Service was great. Highly recommend the Governors Benedict as it’s delish

Went for lunch with friends. What a great little place hidden away staff couldn’t do enough for us and food was stunning can’t wait to come back

An absolutely lovely experience today. Fantastic, polite informative staff all around. Catered for all our allergies & nothing was of any trouble. Be this explaining the meals or just checking for us. Will definitely go back. Thank you to all the staff.

Called in on Saturday for a quick drink and a bite to eat. The service was exceptional, the food phenomenal the atmosphere amazing. But the most surprising, but wonderful thing was the very unexpected entertainment. The young lady singing was absolutely brilliant. What a talented young lady, what a difference it made to our whole experience. Will definitely call again if ths is what to expect. Highly recommended. ********

Popped in en route to friends. Great food in a funky little restaurant but bonus was great entertainment from local singer Rosie Ann Resulted in staying longer than we intended

Fabulous evening spent with family. Lovely food and attentive service from the ladies. Thank you

Great atmosphere and amazing food!

Just wanted a relatively quick and tasty meal, and the breakfast seemed to fit the bill. It was, however, mediocre and not worth the money paid. The sausages whilst tasty were a bit chewy, and the bacon had a lot of fat running through and a bit tough to get through, not helped by knives, which just about cut through the bread. Would not recommend due to pricing.

Really good breakfast! Stopped in travelling north, great to find this place given the distinct lack places along this stretch of the A19. Northallerton, quintessentially rural northern market town, lovely. The Governor’s House, a wonderful old building, with a modern interior, food cooked in front of you. Tasty, well presented and quality ingredients, the traditional full breakfast with good meaty sausage thick bacon and all the trimmings, the Mediterranean breakfast fresh and full of flavour. and tea in a tea pot, proper! Service was prompt, efficient and friendly, price reflects the quality, very much worth it, and left satisfied and ready for the day ahead!

Always a good place for lunch and great menu - difficult to choose! Outstanding service. My son has a bad response to onions and very thorough checks were carried out and substitutions made to his order. Thanks very much.

Great service so drinks keep coming. Breakfast menu better than mains in my opinion but all great value.

Absolutely love this place. Never had bad food or drinks and the staff are amazing

Good food and friendly service.

Food was lovely and staff nice and friendly. Had to wait longer than expected for food and there is always a smell of smoke inside - maybe needs some extra vents around the cooking area.

Beautiful building, excellent service and delicious food. Recommend 100%

Always great. Lots of choice, and always great quality.

Great service lovely food - Mediterranean breakfast.

Didn't know about this place, although we're frequent visitors to the town. Nice varied menu. This was the Gaol governor's house previously. We'll definitely go again.

Lovely family friendly (& dog friendly!) venue. Conveniently situated & with parking just a short walk away. Service with a smile. Excellent menu choice - both for adults & children. And we had booked in for a day when young children could eat for £1.00. So amazingly good value. Crayons & paper on each table for young ones while awaiting our food. The only glitch being a longer than expected wait for that, but certainly not unpleasant as the vibe was really nice. Staff were apologetic & kept us informed. The two grand kids had a plate of pasta & a stack of pancakes respectively. Which they loved! Grownups had different dishes, each of which was excellent! Mine being possibly the most filling 'full English breakfast' I have had. Would highly recommend this place.

All I can say is Excellent in every way. The breakfast was the best I've ever tasted and Alisha was welcoming and very attentive.

Not the best,ok so gave you a free bottle of water ,but two of the 3 glasses were dirty,still had lipstick on ,got clean ones after asking ,but why give hot glasses for cold drink , its a bit grimey under tables and toilets ,not a complaint just an observation,on the plus side grandson loved his pancakes

First time going to the Governors House tonight, my daughter recommended as she had been before for lunch. Food was amazing, had the Korean Crispy Chicken, full of flavour and there was plenty of it on the plate. For dessert had the Chocolate Fudge cake. Couldn’t fault the service from the girls, both helpful, chatty and couldn’t do enough for you. Would definitely recommend and will definitely return.

This is my go-to spot for brunch in town. The menu choices are fantastic and they do good sized portions. I went when they had a pancake week special menu on and it was amazing (white chocolate and pistachio). They have a good choice of drinks too, including some that aren’t widely available elsewhere (such as matcha and turmeric lattes). Friendly staff and a good location just out of the centre of town. Would highly recommend!

First time calling for food tonight. My dad and I had the Korean crispy chicken. Great portions and tasted amazing! The service was amazing thank you to Keavey and Elieisha. The pudding we’re really good delicious too. Will definitely be back soon.

Really brilliant meal here and such friendly service, our server Tegan was really a credit to the restaurant. We will be back!

Very nice pancakes and nice experience. Would go again!

Another fab night at the Governor House! I was out with the family for a meal on Valentine’s night and it was absolutely gorgeous. The sharing platter starters were so lovely - and then I had my own personal favourite, the Katsu Chicken Curry😋 I got some of it in a doggy bag so that I could squeeze a lush white choc lemon pudding in. Very friendly & efficient service from the staff ensured a great evening. Thank you🥰

Fifth visit in as many weeks now has made this place into our go-to venue for a proper brunch rather than just a coffee . The staff are helpful , well-mannered and seem properly interested in us as customers rather than just bums on seats. Excellent menu too , all the usual staples have an interesting variation and every meal seems to have been made to order with a minimum of pre-prepared items. Only ever seen a single chef in the kitchen so hats off to him for work-rate and ability. Top notch place to eat - if you are hungry , really hungry , go for the Huevos Rancheros - it won't disappoint.

The atmosphere, the staff and the food are all excellent

This was the second time we had dined at the restaurant on a Saturday evening and it was just as good as the first. The first time we chose from the two courses for £20. I had the spring rolls to start and my husband had a chicken starter Both were presented well and tasted delicious. Our server recommended the Korean crispy chicken. The chicken melted in your month and the Korean sauce complimented it A little too much rice for me. We were stunned by the size of the governors house burger that my husband had, two beef burgers, gherkins, tomato, bacon and applewood cheddar all piled into a bun. The chips that accompanied it were plentiful. We couldn’t manage a pudding but took advantage of the two cocktails for £12 drinking dark and stormy. On our second visit we both had chipotle burger I really enjoyed the different textures and the warmth of the chipotle sauce. My husband said he enjoyed the governors house burger more. On both our visits the staff were friendly and attentive but never pushy giving us time to make our selection Well done Governors house we will be back.

We had lunch here today, and it was very good. I had the crisp Korean chicken, and it was very tasty, and it was a very generous portion. Me and my wife were with our son, daughter-in-law and 9 month old grandson. Every meal that was served to us looked great, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The prices are also very reasonable. I will definitely return.

Had Sunday brunch. The food and service were excellent.

Amazing food and very friendly staff, nothing was too much of a bother and they gave us a takeaway box for the food we couldn’t finish. Big portion sizes and an overall lovely place to be. Will be back very soon!

Having eaten there a few times in the past but only from the breakfast menu we thought we would try their weekend evening menu which proved to be outstanding ! The quality of all the dishes served was faultless as well as the service and value for money , would highly recommend 👍

We were taken here for lunch by our son and partner, who live in Northallerton. They had been here before and liked it, not least because they could bring their dog, but also because they loved the food. The staff were really friendly. My husband chose the full English breakfast, which he said was excellent, and the rest of us had the Governors breakfast. This was delicious - a crumpet topped with bacon, hash brown, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, and fried halloumi at the side. 'Breakfast' menu items are served until 4pm, which is a definite plus. We will definitely be back.

Amazing! Everything about mine and my boyfriends experience was excellent. We had the 2 course for £20 which the portions were definitely worth the money. I had the Katsu Curry which was out of this world! Best chef we’ve come by in a long time (Wish job well done!) We also had the 2 for £12 cocktails and Tiegan and Eliesha recommended some lovely cocktails. Fabulous atmosphere too, great place for romantic nights 💜

Our evening resulted in having 2 courses for £20 each. The food was amazing, compliments to the chef (Wish). We also had numerous 2 for 1 cocktails which were all lovely. The staff were run off their feet all night but still made sure everyone was happy and not sat waiting. Lovely place to eat, relaxing and a excellent place to get together with friends and family. Highly recommend and that's a 5☆ from me.

Great, imaginative and tasty food. Excellent portions, friendly and efficient service. Looking forward to my next visit!

I love going to governors house I always get looked after very well by Alisha. This time was no different, a lovely warm welcome and great service. The food never disappoints I went for the beef burger and it was amazing. 10/10 flavour 10/10 presentation and 10/10 portion size

We had relaxing meal, staff efficient and pleasant. The food was so tasty, definitely going back soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Met with a group of friends, easy to get a seat with space for pram. The staff were attentive and kind. Not one of us went away unsatisfied. Our food was DELISH!! Big portions and good value for money.

Incredible food, beautiful environment and decor, and a great selection of drinks, soft or alcoholic. I had the chipotle chicken burger (best chicken burger I’ve ever had!) and my partner had had a great Japanese rice bowl. To top it off they gifted us a biscoff cheesecake which was absolutely divine for my partners birthday, although I ate more of it than she did as the portion sizes are brilliant! Fantastic friendly service and would absolutely return!

First visit to the Governors House . Lovely warm welcome… a complementary bottle of water on the table was a nice touch. Funky decor, comfy seating in a cool booth. Excellent selection of food… we could have picked almost anything. But I went for the...

First time at the GH and I must say THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE. The food and atmosphere was a pure delight - as I sat down with the family coffee’s were swiftly ordered and arrived with a beautiful fresh coffee aroma and could tell was made with love. Once the food arrived I was not disappointed. As a massive four in a bed fan I am always looking out for the quality of hollandaise sauce, and this was a delight - poached eggs poached AF (unreal). Big shout out to Teigan Lass who was a top server. No pad all memory this girl - A delightful experience and we shall be back. Thanks staff and gov. Love The Sunshine’s 🌸☀️

Warm and friendly welcome and service throughout. The food was soooo good. And extremely generous portions too. It was very hard to choose from the very interesting menu so return visits are a must in order to try other dishes. Though I'd happily eat the...

The breakfast this morning was wonderful - well presented and deliscious . Tiegan was great as well... Would be going again... SOON!

We only had a piece of cake and coffee, at lunch time. Had much better sorry. And the menu looked really quite expensive.

Excellent, will definitely be returning, came for breakfast - quality produce well worth a visit this will become a regular haunt. Bonus “Bluelight” discount too.

We went to Governors house last night for our staff Christmas meal. We had the Festive bottomless brunch and wow, it did not disappoint! The festive chicken burgers were amazing, the gravy in particular was 😍 The rest of our party had Steak Frites and...

Really good breakfast, first time in here and wont be the last! Huge portions and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Disappointed, expected a slightly posher Ontano. Governors breakfast average (apart from the bangers, excellent) and coffee awful. Service ok, value poor, can't believe it's not as reviewed so might try again.

We have just had breakfast, recommended to us by a friend, the pancakes were delicious, loads of topping so they weren't dry, the lady who seated us and brought our food was lovely, a smile goes a long way, would definitely recommend them on to...

The decor is fab, with a slight industrial feel with some steel work but elegant at the same time. Staff are always great and attentive. Not your everyday menu but some twists with a touch of class. Highly recommended!

A welcoming new restaurant close to the Everyman Cinema.

Lovely place. Great food and friendly staff!

This is a great place - delicious, beautifully presented food, stylish surroundings and friendly staff. Love the fact the building has an interesting history. In a unique setting . Definitely worth a visit , we were very impressed.

Excellent what a lovely experience the staff are nice and friendly and what a lovely meal for the money food is very good portions are massive !!can’t wait to try the breakfast see you soon😊

Excellent. Really friendly staff and great food. Under new management who have turned it around. Thank you.

Food here is delicious, definitely going again

We decided to visit Northallerton today for a trip down memory lane. Heading down from the car park to the main shopping area, we stumbled across the Governors House and decided to give it a try, without checking any of the reviews, as we like...

I have visited here before however have not been back due our previous experience. My friend encouraged me to re visit and I am so pleased I did. The place was very busy but we were welcomed and seated promptly. I decided on the Governors...

Terrible service. Waited over an hour to get our food. People who came after us got and ate their food while we were still waiting! Good very basic, toast soggy and not edible!

Only one girl taking orders bringing food to tables and clearing up . When we got to ordering we ordered off the All day breakfast menu to be told they had ran out of holandaise sauce did I want to order anything else . I...

Waited 70 minutes for food, left after being told it would take another 10 minutes, disappointed.

Great food and service. Some unusual things but tasted great

What a difference ! Encouraged to give it another go following our previous negative experience. Fantastic service ! From the minute we walked in to the minute we left nothing was to much trouble . Food was amazing and the size of the portions we...

Been wanting to visit for a while, lovely place lovely atmosphere. Very friendly staff, the food was just gorgeous so tasty and so well presented. Would throughly reccomend, cant wait to come back for lunch

Popped in for brunch to try out this new Northallerton restaurant. Had huevos rancheros which was absolutely delicious (and huge!) and the service was also really good. Delighted that this restaurant has opened up, will definitely be going back.

Possibly the best food in Northallerton! From start to finish our whole experience was brilliant. Our server Eliesha was very welcoming and took our drinks order straight away which I like. I went for the American breakfast and the presentation was very good, but tasted...

My elderly mum and I popped in here on Monday lunchtime (queue at Betty’s too long and Joe Cornish closed, so we carried on walking to give the new place a try!) Very welcoming and prompt service, really pleasant surroundings, nice brunch-type menu. We both...

Called today for the first time for breakfast/brunch to celebrate GCSEs and we were extremely impressed with the fabulous food offer . We thoroughly enjoyed the food and would absolutely return, a big shout out to the amazing manager who made our experience even better...

Staff really lovely and friendly. Clean. I think I chose wrongly on the food but there was plenty of choice and quantity.

Lovely brunch and friendly staff

After a night out in Northallerton we decided that a big breakfast was what we needed….and we found this gem. The Governor’s House is a beautiful building in the complex around the new cinema. The inside is lovely and we had a very friendly &...

Highly recommended for a very tasty meal. We had the eggs benedict and eggs royale, they were the best we’ve ever tasted. The team are very friendly and efficient too, well worth a visit.
