High Paradise Farm Restaurant in Hambleton

My friend and I were looking forward to a yummy pizza here for my birthday. My friend had been a few weeks previously and said the pizza was delicious. We arrived and were told no pizza today :( We looked at the menu and were a bit disappointed at the food on offer. We opted for nachos and a giant yorkshire pudding wrap. The nachos when they came would have been better if the dips had been on the side. The giant yorkshire pudding was difficult to cut and we really struggled to get our knives through it. On a positive note the pork was delicious. We would come back here but we'd double check that pizzas were on the menu or would opt for scones and cake which looked lovely. The surroundings are beautiful - we just felt the food could have been better.

Came across this lovely tearoom on our walk from Sutton Bank to Osmotherly. Right on the Cleveland way. Fabulous selection of cakes and fresh scones, warm from the oven. A large pot or tea with plenty of refills. The bake well cake was generous and tasty. We will defo be back!

Warm, welcome, friendly staff serving excellent food in a fantastic location. We have been meaning to come for a while on the recommendation of friends, it is a delight. Thank you.

High Paradise is unique and fantastic don’t change a thing. We have visited many times and on all occasions lovely friendly service with gorgeous home cooked food and locally sourced drinks!

A blonde woman who works at this establishment shouted at one of the members of my christian walking group for hopping a stone wall... "have some mannors, jesus crist" she said. How un professional. We came for bite to eat (we came after closing time so didn't get served) , not a mannors lesson. My good friend is still shook up by the sheer rudeness and disrespect to potential customers. Not happy, will think twice before coming to this sh*thole again.

Really friendly staff, 4 miles from Sutton bank car park along the ridge - good food and good beers.

Fabulous, relaxed venue and amazing food. Pizza oven creates great focus and delicious pizzas. Helpful staff, nothing was too much trouble. Cannot recommended highly enough 👍

We had a very nice salad for lunch followed by excellent cake. It was great to see the famous Sausage and Stonker (and Ginni). Make sure you follow the instructions on their website about how to get there - about 20 mins walk from the Sneck Yate car park but worth it.

We have just attempted to have lunch at High Paradise Farm, but were shocked and disappointed to find that one member of staff was so unrelenting and unhelpful. After ordering food for four members of our party, we asked if they'd be able to make a plain cheese sandwich for my 9 year old son who is a vegetarian. The only sandwich on the menu suitable was a brie and cranberry sandwich which he doesn't like. After finding out that they did have cheddar, the lady serving us refused to make him a cheese sandwich stating they would only serve what was on the menu. Having worked in catering and customer service myself, and having eaten out hundreds of times, I have never come across such poor customer service, especially towards a child. I'm still shocked at this lady's attitude and feel quite saddened by the experience.

We had been told how good the food was. So decided to try it, and take in a walk at the same time. It was well worth the uphill walk on a very hot day. A small "takeaway" menu with a varied choice. Opted for the home made pepperoni pizza (hold the jalapenos), delicious and messy with a lovely Yorkshire Tea. We'll worth the walk. Will be back, and maybe book a room.

We had a night at High Paradise Farm for our wedding anniversary. Despite the changes that they have had to put in place for Covid the room was very welcoming and comfortable. We had booked the evening meal which was a delicious sausage casserole in a giant yorkshire pudding (very welcome after a hard bike ride). We also had a lovely evening walk around the area and really appreciated the views and peace.

We have been visiting High Paradise Farm regularly during lockdown, enjoying a walk in the countryside and then stopping off for delicious takeaway refreshments. This weekend we took our grandchildren with us. They loved being out in the countryside and having a delicious picnic, but the highlight of the visit for them was Tony taking the time to talk to them and explain different things about the animals, the farm and the area. Thank you for making three children's day, and we will definitely be back!

Had amazing couple of nights up at High Paradise with a load of family. Our hostess was brilliant (as always) providing us with an epic lunch and some lovely pizzas for dinner as well as champagne and cake for birthday celebrations. The rooms were beautiful with all the essentials provided. Comfortable beds and a quiet area made for a great nights sleep.I will be going to stay there again.

Just been high paradise farm for the first time. Four us called for lunch whilst walking. The place is quaint and rustic dog friendly etc. However, we queued to get served for half an hour even though the queue didn’t look that big and then waited another half hour for our food which was fairly disappointing. The coffee was little different to vending machine and not too hot. The chicken and chilli panini was quite tasty but the pork pie and lime and tomato soup very poor! The pie was snack size but the soup was inedible. It was tinned tomatoes (saw the tin go through to the kitchen) and I would guess it was just heated up with a little lime zest and slightly blitzed . Disgusting!!!!!!!! The spoon stood up in it and all tried it and all agreed it was horribleI would go back as it is a nice location but they need to sort staffing issues out as it wasn’t that busy.

After seeing Ginny’s very kind and generous post on Facebook for rooms for those affected by Thomas Cook, my boyfriend and me visited for one night. The rooms are clean, cosy and comfortable! We had a lovely stay and it really cheered us up. We also decided to go for a walk on the evening which was so pretty. A very peaceful stay and would highly recommended! We can’t thank High Paradise Farm enough! X

Will you give your pot-bellied pigs a bit of Paradise too? Clear all the rubbish from their enclosure and extend their space just a little into the field in front so they can come out from the dark wood and lay in the sun too. In anticipation that things might improve for them, with very little effort on your part, thank you.

A most enjoyable light lunch, delicious mackerel pate with lovely bread followed by divine freshly baked scone with clotted cream and jam. Also, very friendly staff and amazing location.

stayed at the farm the last 2 years on a bike event. cracking place, friendly, ace food, ace beer. a delight.

At the end of a lovely walk you can find this beautiful family run business, the food is amazing, the staff so friendly, if you ever want the largest slice of cake then this is the place!! We have sampled a few meals here and they are all 110% tasty! We also attended the children’s Easter egg hunt which was fabulous, the children loved it, don’t waste your day wondering if you should maybe go here, JUST GO! you won’t regret it ever, you will just keep going back and back. We will be back again soon.

What a fantastic spot this is, we camped out as part of the moors one hundred ride. We were made to feel really welcome, and the pizzas were excellent.

It's a long walk from Osmotherley to Sneck Yate - and back - so we were delighted to see the signs for Higher Paradise Tearoom and as the hail started for the last quarter mile we arrived cold. A welcoming fire warmed us on the outside and a wonderful bowl of soup did the trick for the inside. We called it a day and returned to Osmotherley so that we could have lunch again the next day, approaching from Sutton Bank, not such a long walk. So different - the weather was glorious and we ate outside - but the welcome and the food were just as good.It is well worth the walk (or cycle or horse ride) to get to High Paradise Farm and we will return.

Great lunch stop Good value, Cosy surroundings Intersting and tasty food Worth a visit if you are walking in the area

We were walking the Cleveland Way and coming upon High Paradise Farm was a most welcome surprise! We arrived weary, enjoyed some lovely home made soup and scones, sat in the sunny courtyard and generally recharged our batteries.

Doing circular walk from Boltby and after a stiff climb to High Paradise found it to be the perfect place for lunch. Arrived a little early as brunch had just finished, but placed our order, sharing platter, and expected a little wait to be served. However lunch arrived earlier than expected and was delicious, full of local produce. Finished off with the biggest piece of chocolate cake you have ever seen. Staff were really friendly and chatty. Absolutely fantastic place to go and will return.

I'm a regular at Paradise as it is close to home and great for a drink stop when walking. I have to say today they excelled themselves gorgeous chocolate cake with eggs and a sprinkle of gold dust, just perfect for Easter.

Arrived just before noon on opening day of season. We had been dreaming about bacon butties for several miles only to find bacon not available after brunch menu finished at 11.30. Our disappointment was soon dispelled when our lunch arrived! Two of us had the home made veggie soup,served in huge bowls with lovely bread. , then ham sandwich. The ham was fab, a really thick slab of meat, but meltingly tender. My husband had the most enormous club sandwich we've ever seen. Reasonable cost and quickly served. There were lovely looking cakes and traybakes which we didn't try as too full! Food and coffee fab and would have given 5 stars if we'd been able to have dreamt of bacon butties! Will definitely go again, but set off earlier!

This lovely cafe with courtyard has its own pizza oven. After a great run over the moors, a large group of us finished the afternoon with perfect pizza. I tried blue cheese and onion - a new combination for me. The pizza was thin, hand made in front of us, and delicious. We did ring ahead, so they were expecting us. We all received a very warm welcome and some friends managed to squeeze in some awesome slabs of rich chocolate cake. We will be back.... with our dog.

We arrived after a couple of hours walking. The location is perfect and we really enjoyed our drinks and massive slab of chocolate cake for a very reasonable price. The owners have done a wonderful job.

I belong to a walking group whose core walking area is the North York Moors!

called in at the end of a walk ( it had been promised to a friend to lure her and the kids out for the walk). Whilst we have been past this place many times we had never been in.

We stayed in one of the self catering studios whilst completing the Cleveland Way, and ate lots of offerings from High Paradise Farm during this time. We had a superb platter of quiche, pork pie, cheese, meats, salad and bread and also delicious cakes and coffees. All the food was great. There was a lot of choice - we saw lots of people around us eating salads and sandwiches and they all looked fantastic too.

This was our second visit here after a long and beautiful walk. It has a lovely atmosphere. On our first visit we had salads but regretted not getting the outdoor oven pizzas. On our second visit we looked forward to our pizza but eating it was like eating wet flour and water, the crust was burnt, the base was raw, the dough was so undercooked you could shape things from it. We were offered more pizzas but they were no better but we ate them because we had already waited for long enough for the first ones and we were hungry.

The website says that the tea room is just for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. However, they do not seem to cater for those who arrive hungry and tired after spending half a day doing said activities.

We stayed here for a week with our two Labradors in the heatwave in July. The cottage has a rustic look but with a lovely hot tub outside with a view of the lovely countryside.Being 7 miles from Thirsk make sure you have all you need. The walks from here are outstanding so we hardly used the car while we were here. Walkers and Cyclists drop in the coffee shop as this is on the Cleveland way. The cakes are superb so after a long walk Tea and Cake is most enjoyable.

Visited this lovely eating place on Sunday for a ‘snack’ lunch. Walkers, cyclists, dogs are all welcome. My daughter said that her pizza was the best pizza she had eaten for a long time!

We found this place at exactly the right time while walking the Cleveland Way. It was truly paradise. The coffee good and strong, fabulous flapjack and sunshine in the courtyard. What could be better! It is really hard to describe just how lovely it is to walk through the arch and into the yard to discover the cafe. The proprietor is charming, welcoming and obviously takes pleasure in hosting guests. Just wish like your other reviewer, we'd had longer to spend in the area so we could make another visit. But beware - it is closed on Wednesdays and I would hate for you to miss it!

Picked a lovely day for a walk on the Cleveland Way with the intention of calling here for a welcome break, on approach we could not spot any signs or arrows directing us to the tearooms but as we wandered aimlessly about when a voice bellowed "round the front under the arch" - obviously we must have looked ready for a break !

If you are walking the Cleveland Way or just in the area, you'd be mad to miss High Paradise Farm. I'd not normally stop at a 'tea room' but this is much, much more than such a thing. There's a wide selection of homemade cakes, scones (I had blue cheese and chive which was magnificent) and meals. Much use of Yorkshire produce (cheese meats etc). Wish I was here longer - might base a holiday around this gem of a place! I defy anyone not to find this place a bit 'special'.

Great for lunch away from the madding world...you have to walk in like finding an offtrack alpine chalet. First the relief of the stop, then the inviting smell of the wood fired pizza oven, then enter the haven to a hearty hello, a cosy homelike hearth and sofas in the stone farmhouse with friendly dogs (your dogs are welcome too) to match yet fesh current styling and artworks around lunchtables on different levels and a stylish mezzanine above the excellent food bar....or enjoy the stone courtyard on balmier days. So what of the food - now there's a treat. Really delicious simple dishes and cakes with quality ingredients and presentation. Soup of the day, Pizza to your selection or a bacon and egg butty that is anything but a butty in such excellent bread garnished by salad. Highly recommended...and a real reward for just a few miles picturesque walk from the lovely Hawnby valley, Boltby or Sutton Bank.

We called in for lunch while out walking and were very impressed with the whole experience. The choice was extensive and the quality was excellent. It has to be the best bacon and egg sandwich ever (more gourmet than cafe standard!). It felt more like sitting in a friends living room than a cafe - very comfortable and welcoming. It's very dog friendly, both inside and out - even our dog felt at home! This time we called in just because we were passing but we will definitely plan future walks around a visit.

Didn't make the most of my first visit last year as time was pressing but, yesterday we had a little more time and headed for the Bacon butties!

This is a wonderful place. You access it by walking, cycling or riding to it. They have something for everyone, from sandwiches and soup to cakes and scones. Tea and many varieties too and lovely coffee. You can also get pizza's or a great sharing platter and salads too. Well worth a visit.

We had an evening meal in the restaurant and also ate breakfast there the next morning. It is an ideal and most convivial of set ups in that you can finish your meal and then simply move across to the lounge seating / area nearer the fire for some much needed post eat relaxation. Just adds to the excellence of the whole establishment - and IT IS ON the Cleveland Way long distance footpath - what could be better !!??

Stopped off today with my 80 year old father and quite taken aback by

What a lovely location for a Pit stop whilst out walking. Very dog friendly inside and out with lots of tables and space outside. The staff were exceptionally friendly and the ginger flap Jack was to die for. A great stop whilst out walking or biking

Always such a sincere warm welcome here , plenty of space outside for your dogs or bikes, you have to walk, ride or cycle here and that's the great thing about it. Such lovely home made pretty much everything and great service, and sensible prices too. We always pop in here when we are in the area.

Fantastic Sunday Lunch here. All farm produce and home cooked. Generous portions served in a friendly welcoming atmosphere. Dirty boots/bikes and dogs made to feel very welcome. Highly recommend a visit to this little gem in NYM.

Stumbled on this quite by accident when strolling on Cleveland Way.What a little gem.Big pot of tea and generous sized scones.Warm fire.Highly recommended. Friendly service too.

Been a couple of times recently. Everything is home cooked and prepared as you order. Scones are wonderful. Soups and sandwiches lovely. Dog and walker friendly. In beautiful surroundings.

We decided one sunny day to go and meet a friend and have a walk out to paradise for a bite to eat and a drink. After a short (well sign-posted) stroll we came round the corner to be greeted by a group of gorgeous little dogs ....later to find out they were the famous "Sausage , Mash and Stonker!" ...Brilliant names. They got on well with our dogs no problem...A social little bunch. We went in to be greeted in a similarly friendly manner by Ginni, the owner. Lovely, lovely lady. So helpful and nice to talk to. I am a ridiculously fussy eater , (self confessed fuss-pot!) after deciding I would only be able to have a few items off the menu, I explained my requirements to Ginni, who dashed off into the kitchen and created the most delicious meal I have had in a long time. I had a clean plate !! She catered perfectly for all of us ! Everything was clean and tidy and service with a smile and a laugh is rare now a days ...well not up there!! Fantastic spot. We shall definitely be back !!

what a wonderful place well worth the walk amazing hospitality and food. We had a tuna salad a chicken ceasar salad and a mozzarella and tomato sandwich all were top knotch. My sister had visited before and raved about the chocolate scones the owner didn't have any but said I can bake you some whilst you eat your lunch. They followed and were amazing too. The choice is vast and all looked yummy on our next visit which will be soon I'm trying a homemade pizza. Can't wait to return I love this place.

We love this place you have to walk, run, cycle or ride here. Last Sunday we had lovely Pate, toast and salad, it was a real treat and the home made cakes and scones are always good. Just perfect sitting outside and taking it easy, I'm sure we'll be back a few times over the summer.

We stumbled across this lovely little tearoom after getting caught in a snowstorm while hiking the Cleveland Way. Sopping wet, the promise of a woodburning stove and hot tea was too hard to resist! The menu is surprisingly extensive, so we decided to ditch the soggy pork pie in our backpack and opted for hot pizza and soup instead, followed by a home-made scone with jam and cream and pots of coffee and tea. It was just the pick-me-up we needed after a miserable morning's walking! The welcome was as warm as the food, and the sun even came out as we were getting ready to leave! Highly recommended, especially for walkers - we wouldn't hesitate to return.

Made a special trip up to High Paradise during a drive out. Had tea and delicious scones. We sat in the courtyard which was nice and warm on a sunny but windy day. Stroked the friendly dogs and enjoyed the surroundings.

Lovely place to call for some excellent home cooked food - can definitely recommend the freshly baked Scones. Excellent for walkers passing this way on the Cleaveland Way

Visited whilst walking up Boltby bank with the kids in the snow. Very walk welcome. Cosy little cafe with limited seating. Had bacon sandwiches and a pot of tea, kids had tea cakes. There were more dogs in the cafe than people which could put some people off. One of the resident little dogs jumped on my sons knee which frightened him to death! Very busy and full of walkers and cyclists. Popular little spot. Open fire was a massive winner to thaw us out before venturing back out

Brilliant service, home cooking, the ability to have either an alcoholic drink / coffee or tea. Dog friendly, very welcoming with a great log burner keeping you warm
