Popped in for breakfast by myself then came back for lunch with my brother as it so so good! Staff lovely and food excellent. I ate the full vegan breakfast and then the Super Salad and both were delicious. Lots of other great vegan and vegetarian options. Saw other meals coming out and all looked awesome too.

Governors House and their wonderfully helpful and discretely attentive staff provided us with exactly what we were looking for on the Sunday after our daughters wedding- a private sociable dining space, with super tasty food from a very varied menu to suit all - from young children to special dietary requirements. Everything was perfect. Thank you for all the careful planning and ease of making the arrangements beforehand. Great job.

Always my go to for breakfast so we decided to come and try out the new evening set menu and were so impressed by the portion sizes and value for money. We opted for sharing nachos with beef and chorizo to start, followed by a hunters chicken burger and fish tacos all for just £25 each. The staff were as friendly as always and have great knowledge when it comes to the menu options. Great to see this place so busy!

Walked past on our way back to the car after a bit of shopping. Never really knew it was there. Was able to get a seat without a booking. Place didn't seem overly busy. The food was ok, but very expensive for what it was. The service was very good, and the staff were very friendly. Food did take a while to come out. Might visit again. Thank you.

Booked online half hour before we arrived. Walked in, straight to the table, bottle of water brought over without having to ask. Booked for the “governors birdcage” - this comes with three plates of breakfast food (very generous portions) and a bottle of tattinger £34.95pp (or tea and coffee £19.95pp for those who aren’t that way inclined). As it is December, we had Christmas options! First, Birria Eggs Benedict. My husband states this is the best plate of food he has ever eaten. Second, Chocolate Orange Pancakes. These were just the epitome of Christmas flavours! Third, Christmas Toffee Apple Strudel French Toast. This was phenomenal but we struggled to finish this! We were kindly brought a box and a bag so we could take it home for later. I also had “the governess” cocktail which was bloody lovely! We will 100% be back. Amazing food and amazing service!

I’ve been to the Governor’s House about half a dozen times now and it is amazing every I have been. The full English breakfast is beautiful. Admittedly it is the only thing I have eaten there. But the wife has had a few different continental breakfasts and she said they were delicious. Today she had a Burger and thought it was one of the best she had eaten. Thanks very much to the staff at the Governors House.

This restaurant is an overpriced disaster. The food was cold and unseasoned. The meat had not been rested resulting in a lake of blood soaking into the surrounding chips. The first plate was returned as it was cold and in all honesty there was no point returning the replacement as it was clear the chef either couldn’t cook or didn’t want to. The restaurant was cold and we almost put our coats back on. Avoid!!!!

We always have a fantastic time at Governors house, the food is unbelievable & the service like no other in the area. We went for their Christmas event with Santa, a busy, but efficient experience. The food again was fantastic and fast! The kids and us as adults felt relaxed, and full! Highly recommend visiting, but book in advance as it's so popular now it often gets busy and you don't want to be disappointed.

We managed to get a table even though we didn't have a reservation. There's a good selection of drinks and a varied menu. I'm a fussy eater but the staff were great accommodating me. The meal was nice and I left feeling full. The only criticism, and this can't be the fault of the staff, was the noise level in there. We found conversation a little difficult at times due to other groups being loud. That being said, everyone is out to enjoy themselves so it's far from a complaint.

Very good food. A mixture of western and Asian. My burger was fine, and my wife's Katsu chicken was great (and big). Waitress was friendly and efficient, BUT......they need to pay some additional attention to hygiene. Had to change fork as not clean, and other cutlery and glassware needs s good polish with a dry cloth (or more rinse aid!!!). Also some of the surfaces, including tables need a good deep clean. Did not notice how many hygiene stars the place has.

My fave place to go now when I visit my sister. First time we came I noticed how extremely friendly the staff were, so kind and helpful. We came again this weekend for brunch and staff again couldn't be more lovely, we had THE BEST EGGS BENE I think I've ever had, the dirty benny ✨👌🏻 And the pistachio french toast was incredible. I work in the same industry in the lake district and my fave thing to do is find amazing brunch spots and this is high up on my list of fave places to go now, cannot wait to try the brunch / champagne deal they do ✨😍

Our third time at Govenors House, Northallerton, and it never disappoints. It's tough to decide what to have because everything looks, sounds, and is so delicious! There are specials available on top of the main menu, and the service is friendly & welcoming. Highly recommend!! Photo attached is avocado on toast with mushroom instead of eggs, and extra bacon, plus the special chicken & bacon pancakes (insane!!!), and finally the cinnamon graham pancakes. All incredible, can't wait to return!

Great food, went for the starter and main for £20 and we both really enjoyed everything that we’d ordered, portions were huge, so much so that we both were struggling to eat all our main course, not a negative as everything was delicious. Cocktails were very good too we went for the two for £16 and had the Governor and the Governess (2x each) and they were spot on! Staff as always really friendly and attentive, had the added bonus of some live music too, don’t know her name but really good pianist/singer.

I was so impressed, i brought my partner back the next day and ill 100% be a regular now. The staff were super lovely, gave their recommendations and were really warm and friendly. We went for the special offer of ‘southern fried chicken, bacon, maple mustard syrup on French toast’ on recommendation from the staff, and it was ‘epic’ as a family member said. Also working in food service means you notice the extra things and I can 100% say its a class place to go.

I was driving so didn’t have the glass of fizz with it, but that didn’t matter cos it was so, so good. We left very full and needing a nap. Thank you, it was amazing.

Visited today with my sister and our 3 children. Was very quiet when first arrived and was seated promptly. The food was lovely (but pricey) £18.50 for a breakfast (paid extra for hashbrowns). Unfortunately the glasses that were on the table for water were dirty. The waitress was on her own having to take orders, do drinks, bring food out and take payments. It seemed very full on for one person! (The waitress I must say was lovely). When it came to pay we asked if we could split the bill (1 adult 2 kids & 1 adult 1 kid). We both paid and on questioning the price we were told there was a service charge added. We had not been informed of this before paying and I didn't read it anywhere whilst dining. In total we paid a service charge of over £6. This really should be mentioned and given as an OPTION!

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!

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 😊
