Greggs in Richmondshire

Tried this lovely pub for the first time earlier this week with friends for an evening meal off the weekday menu. I had Scampi which was wholetail, light batter , served with the best chips I’ve had in ages . Others had chicken and burger, all were beautifully cooked and quality ingredients. Eaton Mess was spot on and the sticky toffee and custard had us drooling ! The atmosphere was what you’d want in a lovely cosy country inn, the owners were very friendly, service friendly and quick without feeling rushed. They also accommodated our 2 large dogs offering a nice treat and water. We loved it that much we’ve just returned from Sunday lunch !! Prawn cocktail starters were excellent, more prawn than salad 👍, soup, black pudding and bacon , all served with a warm crusty roll, all were very good. 3 of us had roast beef dinners and one roast pork - the veg was cooked perfectly, as were the mash and roast potatoes. Yorkshire pudding were just right. None of us could find space for a pudding but the menu has something for everyone. We shall most definitely return again.

Lovely, welcoming management. We were in Room 2. Parking right outside room. Very clean and cosy room. I feel the beds need new mattresses as occasionally I felt a spring pressing on my legs. Breakfast was superb, well cooked, hot on presentation and very tasty.

Deserves a much better rating than it has on Google. The Fish and chips sit down meals in the upstairs restaurant can’t be faulted. Fish is fresh, batter is light and crispy and chips & sides are very good too. Can’t fault the value for money as the meal includes tea and bread on the side.

Booked a family meal for my dad's birthday at Akebar. The Sunday lunch was fantastic. Great portion sizes, lovely friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit. We will be back

Booked in during a family trip away and was incredibly disappointed. All roast dinners were swimming in thick flavourless gravy. The trio of yorkshires were essentially a soup. I’m unsure where they buy the gammon from as it tasted off? We all played a game of fish for our dinner. I cannot even describe how much gravy was on the plates. The potatoes and yorkshires tasted like they’d been pulled out of a deep fryer? We then asked for a dessert menu just to see the options, to which the waitress had to hand write it and proceeded to slap it down and walk off….only to never return. Maybe the chef was off. But I absolutely would not recommend this place for a Sunday roast.
