Katch in Hambleton

Sunday lunch overpriced tiny portions served virtually cold. Food was sent back as barely warm one teaspoon of peas two half roast potatoes tablespoon of mashed potatoes and turnip me small slice of beef. Another serving was brought everything like warm again except for potatoes and turnip which has been nuked in microwave. Refund requested instead they offered a free coffee or a free dessert which was declined. Slow service also do not go there I would need even give one star rating it would be minus one star at best.

Excellent fish and chips, a lovely pot of tea with a pot of hot water also .. a great touch. The service was excellent such a friendly efficient well mannered young man. Our first visit certainly won’t be out last.

Call in for lunch today into the restaurant they was a young lady who was behind the counter who didnt make is feel very welcome and scowled at us we sat down .After a few minutes menu were thrown onto the table. We felt very uncomfortable and decided to leave as we weren't made welcome. Went over to Barkers Bisto and had a lovely meal . I wont ever be coming back to katch .

We called into this restaurant for lunch when visiting Northallerton. The restaurant is placed on the high street and was busy but the staff were really helpful and the food was really nice. Nice selection of food available.

Called in for Sunday lunch, told we would have to wait 30-40 minutes, which we said that would be OK as they were very busy. However after an hour we decided we would ask where our food was, after another 5-10 minutes it arrived. My Sunday lunch was so disappointing, lovely Yorkshire pudding, the veg was OK however the beef was very poor one small slice of beef covering another even smaller slice of dried up beef. I certainly wouldn’t recommend Sunday lunch here.

My review is based on a hotel stay rather than the restaurant. Please also check Katch 'Hotel' on TripAdvisor. That's where the hotel reviews are left and the page is unclaimed currently by the business. My review is headed 'Really disappointing, nothing like advertised.' I had planned to eat in the restaurant during my stay, but due to the room issues and attitude of staff member I spoke with, I opted to spend my time outside of the hotel at other establishments.

This is a lovely place to visit staff are so efficient and friendly can't do enough for you to ensure you enjoy the experience Food was amazing,good price,good size portions and piping hot and well presented There is a bar area and a restaurant area where you get table service with a smile and a good atmosphere. Thank you

Only use fantastic fish shop takeaway. Best fish .

Room was very clean and tidy. My mistake to stay on a Friday night. Live music until midnight then guys setting up outside for the market on Saturday at 4am!!!!! Not a good night's sleep unfortunately. Earplugs are provided but no good as the guys weren't very quiet outside.

Came in for lunch. We both had the seafood paella and weren't disappointed...lots of seafood,nice and hot. Lovely pub and super Friendly staff. As it was a nice day we then sat out the front people watching...perfect location

We had lunch here in May and the food, drinks and the furniture were all good. However, it was cold inside the pub as they had the side door open, which leads to an outside seating area and the main front door. This created a constant flow of cold air. It was 16 degrees outside at the time. It's in a nice position on the wide main street and will be a good place to sit outside and people watch when the weather is better.

Great Location, food is very good and reasonably priced. Rooms are clean and a decent size. Staff are superb and helpful. Place is lively so expect some noise in the bedrooms up to midnight. Will use again on our next visit to Northallerton.

We ate lunch here and staff were very helpful and the ambiance was great so was the food and drink

Great stay. Service and accommodation are excellent 👌

We arrived after a 5 hour drive from Scotland to find the annual fair had set up in front of our room window! Literally. A few feet away was a huge ride with flashing lights, very loud music and a smoke machine. Any other time we probably woukd have been delighted, but not today. Otherwise, the room was great. Good size room and bathroom, well laid out and clean, though we didn't spend more than 5 minutes in it. Many come specifically for the fair and would have found a perfect location but we were just not in the mood for this unexpected celebration. We decided to press on for home. From what we could see, the bar was capacious and well appointed. The staff were lovely and bent over backwards to help. It was no fault of the hotel that we felt unable to stay and to be fair they did not have to give us a refund but did. Brief as our stay was I'd have no hesitation recommending anyone to stay but, as the manager said, it's a busy town and they can only warn of unusual events if you book directly. It's a busy town centre location perfect for those looking for a lively place with lots going on & fantastic value for the money. There is parking behind the hotel.

Music in bar was a bit loud for my preference. Room good size , comfy and super clean. But tiny window and radiator and shower stuck on 1 level of heat. Food was great

We only stopped to have a drink and have an early tea. Unfortunately after we had ordered our drinks and gone back to the bar to order food we were told they weren't taking orders for another 20 minutes as the chef was on her break. Its a shame this wasn't advertised as we would have gone elsewhere before ordering the drinks. The bar itself is very nicely decorated and the food smelt good. The ambiance was slightly spoiled by a group of staff having their break in the bar area talking nd complaining quite loudly, though it could have been the acoustics.

Visited the restaurant friday 8th march -food was impeccable -service was amazing Cant wait to go back

Stayed in various b&bus in Northallerton. This is by far the nicest. Staff are all very pleasant. Will definitely stay there again

I called looking for a room for the night at short notice and was relieved to hear that they had one available.

Great location being right on the high street, excellent food, nice atmosphere with a good selection of drinks.

Fantastic fish and chips tonight, could not fault, will definitely be going back. Thank you to Tim for your attentive service, a credit to the team.

Location great on the high street. The room was huge. Staff and facilities were great. The windows were quite thin so you could hear noise from outside however they did supply ear plugs

Warm friendly greeting very helpful staff all food we ordered arrived together hot and fresh portion of fish chips mushy peas home made tartar sauce prawn cocktail was full of prawn no skimping here and a portion of scampi chips peas again plenty off well worth a visit will be back

Unfortunately we never got to sample the food so I can't comment on that. We went in at lunchtime on market day. It was quite busy at the front so we were invited to go through to the dining room. As we went in, the young man at the bar told us to find a seat & he would be with us shortly. There were only 2 other tables occupied. We duly sat down - no menus on the tables - & waited for him to come over. He was slowly putting saucers on a tray & slowly making coffees. He then took some spoons over to one of the occupied tables & returned to the bar to continue with his saucer placing. I did see him look over at our table, but still nothing was done. After approx quarter of an hour, the manageress walked through & asked him to make 4 more coffees. At this point we decided we'd had enough, put our coats on & walked out. We walked right past him & he neither caught our eyes or offered any sort of apology. I suggest he needs a course of customer service training or the restaurant will be losing a lot of business.

We came here for some light lunch and it was really nice. It was slightly quiet but we did come on a Tuesday. The staff were friendly and service was quick. Overall I’d go back as good value for money!

Unfortunately had the worst meal ever and have been a few times. I had gammon egg pineapple and chips. the gammon was like leather and the chips looked like they had scraped the barrel. All I got was an apology

A hidden gem fish and chips amazing staff friendly and so welcoming have been visiting north allerton for years and walked right passed it is now our go to amazing quality amazing staff Clean absolutely fantastic

Went to get lunch. Arrived at2.25 om and they said they stopped serving food at 2.30 pm. The website states 3pm. Even though we we early still refused food. Shocking attitude and service and the glass was dirty. Don’t bother!!!

Stayed for 2 nights and liked it so much we wanted to stay an extra night. Unfortunately no room at the Inn. Fortunately Leanne managed to get us a room at their sister hotel the Golden Lion just a short walk away. Enjoyed our lunch. Leanne really helpful with the room and sorting taxis. Room roomy and hugh bed. Will stay again.

Not a bad plate of fish and chips, although i reckon the tartare sauce was out of a factory produced tub, but generally a decent meal.

i can only speak about the food and what we had today was exceptionally good. normally i'd never eat beef burgers but i knew their food was good from previous visits and so, when i had the deluxe burger it turned out to be the best of the best. super juicy meat, deliciously cooked and presented. this burger was to die for. my wife had the same and our friends had Cumberland sausage and the other had the coconut chicken curry, every morsel was consumed. we had a bottle of red, three pints of lager, one pint of Guinness and three americano coffees oh yes and there was a side ordered of Haloumi fries. we've been before and never been let down and we will be back. thanks guys

We (my wife and I) decided to stay in the Katch hotel on a Saturday night. The rooms were large, well lit and very clean. The bathroom and shower were OK. The temperature control was a little tricky in the shower but could be set to a nice temperature with a little bit of patience and persistence. Now, for the bad points. The rooms were very noisy, slamming doors and loud conversations internally. Externally the noise coming from the courtyard was horrific, screeching, screaming and loud drunken conversations until well after 3am. If you want a good night's sleep, go somewhere else, unless you are likely to be "clubbing" until the early hours.

Takeaway, Fish cake? Horrific, don’t order, it’s just horrible mash, couldn’t taste or see any fish in it. Burnt, and it was cooked to order, or burnt to order more accurately. A Fish cake is two slabs of potato with a fish centre, bartered and fried. This was neither fish, cake or nice.

Booked a room 3nights for our son & partner re family meet up. Unfortunately very bad accident on 17th Nov 2022. Only one hour away from Northallerton. After 3hrs waiting for police to clear motorway. Was diversion.another route re Wakefield we advised Katch we would be late checking in advised the reception. Spoke to a young person. An left a voicemail. After a long trip My Son & partner. saw no lights on at Katch tried to alert some in darkness. No night reception. Ect My Husband an Myself where booked at Allerton Court it was now 1Ipm we had a lovely message saying not to worry they will wait for us an fortunately Had an free room for our Son.! Next day no one from Katch contacted us??? We had paid!! for 3nights!! Eventually I phone them!!! They said its totally katch fault said we will getFull. Refund so at this point they where full. An my Son having to pay again for accommodation. Hence we have now too weeks later trying to get our money back via bookings. Com Katch said we was late booking in!!! unknown to Katch my sister lives in Northallerton an also had told Katch re our situation. Katch had re sold the 2nights which we had paid for.!! An will only offered us one night refund. I we take this further if a full refund is not offered for 2 nights was prepared to loose 1 night. Dissapointed in the Hotel.

Just been today, very comfortable place, great staff, very good pub grub too. Chicken royale burger and her indoors had the posh fish finger paninni. A pint and a half of v good Italian beer, a side of double fries. £27. Totally enjoyable. Thank you guys, see ya soon.

So we decided not to stop for food. Will go somewhere where there is a smile and friendly welcome. Such a shame as we heard the food was good

Had a large family table on a Thursday evening, accommodated the booking at very short notice. Large selection of dishes on the menu, very nice food at a good price, the fish & chips were very good and they served an off menu request no problem! great friendly staff, will definitely return

My parents, who are their 80s, have no time for rubbish fish and chips. They want really good fish and chips and a lot of it, preferably with a doggie bag on offer. They reference Katch a lot, so when I suggested lunch in Northallerton...

We have used Katch regularly since it opened for Fish and Chips. It's been consistently good but the last couple of times the chips have been very poor. Pretty sure they are just warmed up, overcooked and not fresh tasting.

Got fish & chips from the takeaway part on Monday, fish was ok, ate 3 chips left the rest, absolute disgusting taste, still have an upset stomach two days later. The chips smelt like off potatoes .This is what happens when places are run by...

Just visited Katch and enjoyed their amazing fish and chips. If you get chance go and try them if you are in the area you will not regret it.

Truly awful hotel. Do not stay here if you want to sleep. If you’re going to be a club blasting out music until 1am on a Saturday you should put a warning on your website for those thinking of staying here. Avoid.

We stayed here on a Saturday night which was the biggest mistake! From the moment we entered the room which was located on the first floor, we could hear every conversation the passers by were having just a few feet below on the high street...

Hotel is spotlessly clean. Rooms are very nice. You can tell it recently had a total refurbishment. Great location we will definitely be staying again

If I were reviewing the room only, I would score 4 out of 5. They are recently refurbished and very clean, reasonably priced and located in the centre of Northallerton. However, unless you sleep like the dead, or are profoundly deaf, you will most likely...

The menu was not up to their usual choice but this appears to be a problem in all restaurants at the moment. So many chefs re trained during covid, there is a real shortage. The food we had was excellent as was the service and...

Very nice hotel and food staff also very kind and helpful. Only downside was the room was extremely warm even with the windows open and it made our hands sweat.

Stayed here Saturday night , blown away by the cleanliness. Great room did get slightly noisy overnight for about 15 minutes but that is really the only flaw that I could find . Staff all very friendly and attentive. Even though we only love 20...

Shown promptly to a table in the rear of the restaurant, very deceptive building, much bigger than imagined. Lovely decor. We all opted for the fish & chips which for £7.50 per person was an absolute bargain. Tables were well spaced out with great practices...

We booked 3x Mothers Day Sunday Lunch takeaways, including 3x roasts and 3x desserts and they were absolutely delicious!! Lovely meat, tasty veg and excellent Yorkshires and gravy [especially the gravy!!] - sumptious desserts. Faultless.....

I came for my takeaway, the choice of menu is superb. Also the locally sourced fish was fresh and refreshing. The scampi is delicious and would recommend trying it.

I went for a takeaway for tea. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of options on the menu for a fish and chip takeaway. The batter for the fish was lovely and crispy and yet light. Also the staff were lovely and I know...

We go to Katch for our fish and chips regularly, the fish and chips have always been fresh, the portions large and the service very friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate for one second to recommend Katch to anyone.

Never disappointed with the food or service at Katch, the batter is always nice and crispy 👌🏼 Would recommend.

We come to the takeaway on the way back from a meeting in Stockton last week and I have to say the best fish and chips We have had in a long long time. We got recommended this place from a good friend and boy...

Had Katch takeaway for the first time today! Great menu during these difficult times not just your standard fish and chip take away menu! We had the coconut fish curry was absolutely gorgeous cooked to perfection (hats off to the chef!!) fast & fresh food....

Superb fish and chip takeaway,great service and following all the necessary covid requirements. Well done Katch staff 👏

We had a wonderfull takeaway from Katch on a cold January evening. Nothing frosty about this place the Service was excellent, the food is great. I Would recomend Katch to everyone visiting this little town. From arriving the staff were polite, friendly and attentive, absolute...

Went here today with the wife to get some food, waited too long and had to take the wife home as she had a presentation to do, I went back to ask for a refund, I got the refund however the young owner was very hot headed and childlike, ended up going outside and squaring up to eachother, he also slipped in a nice insult calling me a fat C***, horrible man, would never return here and warn others to give the place a wide birth

I have eaten at this restaurant a few times since it opened when I have visited the area. I have tried various fish dishes that have all been memorable. This visit I tried the fish curry and it was so tasty. Service was great. Highly recommended

Good food and attentive service, our first time out on a Saturday night since COVID-19 but we felt safe and all the processes were followed even when someone came in a little bit with no mask it was dealt with straight away professionally it as excellent to see so well done and thank you for a enjoyable meal and evening

I ordered a burger which came with cheese as standard. I specifically said twice for burger to be served without cheese. When it arrived, guess what? Yep it had cheese on. No problem with that, we all get things wrong. Burger was returned to the kitchen. The waitress returned and demanded to know if the problem was because I was allergic to cheese. I explained it was because the taste of cooked cheese made me feel I'll. Their solution was to scrape the cheese off which I'm guessing would have been difficult as it was melted into the burger.This was pretty much the only solution offered as "anything else will take some time to prepare."One of the friends who was with me had to ask three times for extra gravy.Cannot see a return visit happening any time soon.

Been here a few times for cocktails of an evening and can’t recommend this place enough! They have a massive cocktail menu with traditional classics as well as more unique ones like reeses pieces and Ferrero rocher. Very comfortable environment with regard to covid too with lots of space and screens between tables.

Lovely atmosphere this evening, the staff were brilliant and work hard to give a great service, the food was also fab!

We have been going to the Katch since it opened we have had excellent service and always enjoyed the food On Saturday 29th of August the food was poor we both had fish and chips very obviously cooked in the fish shop And not by a chief to restaurant quality Chips not twice fried as menu statesNow the peas are an extra ?I was looking forward to lasagna as it’s always been beautiful to be told now it’s only vegetarian Very limited menu I think it’s back to the golden lion

Thanks for the great food and service we got at lunchtime today. Took a relative for a birthday treat, nothing was a problem displaying balloon at the table and all the staff taking time out to bring the cake and sing happy birthday. Was a lovely surprise for her.

Went to Katch after refusing to go in to another resturant due to it not complying with Covid 19 guidelines. The young man, Tyrone managed to fit us in and we bserved their procedures..everything from tables and chairs to the condiment pots was sanitised all the time every time.The attentiveness of all the staff was impressiveAs a major plus the food and service was amazing and due to the offer, very good value.We will go back even when the offer ends. We can concur that this is the safest resturant in Northallerton ,

Very quick service and everything well cleaned and disinfected. Covid safe as all tables spread out. Very good food aswell.

Literally the slowest service ever. No thanks. Never again. Seriously waited half an hour for a drink

Just had takeaway fish and chips,nice friendly service , excellent fish and chips cooked fresh while we waited , highly recommended

During Covid 19, Katch have been providing takeaway food. Ring to place the order and agree pick up time. Pay by contact less card. Staff are very efficient and the food is as good as eat - in. Great job. Well done!

This is the first time we’ve had fish and chips from Katch and certainly not the last. The ‘order and collection’ service works really well and the quality of food is exceptional. We ordered fish and chips, a scampi and chips and a child’s sausage meal, everything was absolutely beautiful, and the portions are incredible. We will definitely return and can’t wait to visit the restaurant when this pandemic is behind us. Thank you for great customer service and exceptional quality food. See you soon.

We picked up Fish and Chips here on the way home, went for the large cod which was excellent, although it could always be bigger for me!

Barstaff extremely friendly and the guys in the restaurant very helpful also. Really enjoyed the seafood platter. Good portion sizes and my wife enjoyed her seafood curry. The value is incredible. Definitely be back.

Stumbled across the restaurant at the back , after going in to what we thought was just a pub.The fish and chips are fabulous along with the service and the best part is they also do take away!!
