Kitchen at Drewton's in East Riding of Yorkshire

Went today with my baby for brunch. I’d like to do a special shout out to the staff in the restaurant. The staff were amazing, they were all engaging with my little one and chatting away to her and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Food was delicious!

A group of 4 of us went to the Adele tribute evening last night. The venue is lovely - it looked really special when we arrived. The staff here are very good - there was one young chap who didn’t seem to get the concept of carrying more than one item but I assume he was learning - he didn’t look very happy either sadly. Everyone else was kind, professional and friendly. The food was good, especially the vegetables that were just perfect and the panacotta desert was lovely. We arrived at around 6.50 and the act came on past 9 dinner was served about 8ish. However because of the acoustics everyone was shouting to make themselves heard over the tables and the noise was a bit overwhelming. Especially disappointing were the table of 4 at the back who shouted & screamed at each other during the dinner and while the act was singing . That ruined it for us as it was so intrusive. It is a lovely venue only spoiled by the actions of one group which the staff has no control over. I can imagine anyone booking a wedding or private party would be delighted.

First time visiting here today, don't actually know how it's taken us so long!! We were the first table in so service was prompt and very friendly. Husband ordered the full English which looked and tasted beautiful. I had the croque madame, served with a beautiful but unexpected side salad. Absolutely faultless, would definitely recommend. We will definitely return, so much choice on the menu and I literally wanted it all. Not the cheapest of meals, but quality is worth paying for. My husband is a very good chef himself and this place ticks his boxes too. Staff were great too, the place filled up quickly but service didn't falter. My only criticism is about the chairs. I understand wicker seats are hard to clean, but the crumbs gathered in the cracks wasn't pleasant to sit in.

Have been to Drewtons many times but admittedly not for a couple of years. Came for lunch today and was very disappointed that there was no longer any sandwiches on the menu apart from sausage or bacon sandwich from the all day breakfast menu or one from the specials list. When I asked if I could have a sandwich ( as they were available for the afternoon teas) I was told I could buy a sandwich from the shop !! I asked if I could have the hot sandwich from the special menu without chips and told it was possible but cost would be the same! So was disappointed as it was very limiting. Had lovely sandwiches her in the past but unfortunately I wont be coming again until sandwiches are available. Most staff were lovely and had a good laugh with one of the waiters. He is an asset to you

This popular food venue is easy to find and offers free parking. Both outside and inside seating is available plus there are a selection of picnic tables within the grounds for those wanting to take advantage of the well stocked on site farm shop. As a walk in, a warm welcome by front off house staff started our visit well and also provides them with a chance to warn customers of food service delays as it is very busy across peak times. In our case we were warned of a maximum 60 minute delay.... Food and drink orders taken as soon as you're ready and, to be fair, the food arrived within 30 minutes, fresh and well presented. Staff remain polite, friendly and professional at all times and the food is delicious. A well run and organised eatery with great staff and tasty dishes. Highly recommended

I was visiting very dear friends nearby for the weekend so we came here on their recommendation for a super 5 star Saturday brunch. 7 of us were greeted by the lovely Charlotte who was exemplary throughout our time there. We were looked after so well by her and is a real credit to your wonderful establishment. Drinks order taken first and for once a decent size pot of tea for 2! None of this mini fancy tea pot lark where you have to squeeze out a tea bag to get just a cup! Milk served in mini churns - touch of genius! Food was then served and every one of us polished off the lot! Top quality ingredients and presented so well indeed. Charlotte was on hand throughout to make sure everything was ok - and of course it was! I have raved about here ever since getting back to my Staffordshire base, so if any of my multiple friends head up this way I will despatch them here without any hesitation whatsoever! Top Draw!

Just disgusting, sent food ba k and food returned smothered in a cheap tomato ketchup which I did not request and the meat returned as a chicken pattie and not beef as I previously requested. Staff rude and not pleasant to see staff with facial piercings. Puts one off their food. You guys need some chef re training, staff etaquite training and a rethink as to facial and body piercings

Lovely lunch. Excellent fish platter. Lovely fizz. Staff are brilliant. Really enjoyed it & can highly recommend this for lunch

We had a table booked for afternoon tea and we arrived 5 minutes early. We stood in the entrance and a number of the team members walked by said nothing in the end we said we have a table booked and she said the manager will be over in a minute so we waited eventually he came over and showed us to our table. We waited again eventually someone came over and asked if we had any allergies and asked what we would like to drink? She asked what was included in the after tea, she responded with tea coffee sorry wait a minute and went to do something at the counter she returned and said nothing, so we ordered a pot of tea. Out food came to be honest for afternoon teas it was average. But the biggest disappointment was the service and the fact that some ppl seemed to get the full service ie the next ppl who came in got told the full drinks menu. Then we had to sit and listen to them manager chastise one of the team for a mistake she had made on the till, this made us feel very uncomfortable atmosphere as he went on and on about. We ate some of the food drank the tea and left. We have also given direct feed to drewtons who haven’t responded.

Having eaten in the restaurant twice before we booked an afternoon tea with family. We were so disappointed. The food was very average, 4 finger sandwiches; soggy egg mayonnaise/cream cheese and cucumber unseasoned/coronation chicken and smoked salmon which was so thin it was tasteless. The wafer thin slice of sausage roll and tiny slice of quiche were tasty but the scones were so dry that evening jam and cream - not clotted cream - could make them better. The cakes were chocolate cake, orange chocolate eclair, Bakewell tart and tiny macaroons which looked pretty but had little taste. The biggest disappointment was that whilst we were eating our tea a gentleman I assume to be the Restaurant Manager came and sat at the next table and then proceeded to make a number of business telephone calls speaking very loudly, we actually had to stop our conversation because we couldn't hear each other over him. When we asked him if he could possibly go to an office to continue his business matters he got quite annoyed and made it clear we shouldn't have said anything. For this rather unpleasant experience we were charged £90.00! I emailed Drewton Estate and told them about our experience, they haven't even had the courtesy to respond. We will not return and sadly definitely won't recommend them.

Called on a Saturday afternoon for lunch, without having first booked, and we're accommodated without delay. Great array of choices on the menu. I had shashlik and my friend the Croque Monsieur. Although there was a bit of a wait - it was busy - but food arrived piping hot, and staff were courteous throughout. The pricepoint is quite reasonable, and interesting menu options. The adjoining farmshop requires a remortgage before purchasing, though.... Lovely meal, will revisit.

Terrible menu & expensive. Not one dish straight forward. Unless you eat anything don’t visit here as you will be disappointed. You cannot even get a basic sarnie (ham, beef, egg mayo..) & chips are extra at £5. Farm shops are generally more expensive but this is off scale. I bought Peter Yard crackers at Tesco over the weekend for £1.75. Here they cost £3.45. Greedy. Go to Fox & Coney centre of South Cave 2 minutes away. Better menu choice, value for money with nice ambiance & excellent service. Parking outside too for anyone with disability issues.

The staff were so friendly and lovely. I stopped coming over a year ago as this wasn't the case then. The food was great too.

Went for lunch and sat outside in the courtyard. What a lovely place to go - we ordered the Caesar salad and the smoked haddock florentineThe food, service and atmosphere was greatWill be back We had bought some chocolate honeycomb from the shop and The waitress took it away to keep it in the fridge whilst we are so that it didn’t melt Lovely - friendly place with food to match Thank you for a lovely lunch

Came for lunch and after not booking, we were able to get a table. We ordered a hot beef ciabatta and a chicken club sandwich. The food was lovely and to a high standard, but seemed quite pricey for a lunch. The only problem we found with our visit was the speed of the service, which we have experienced on previous visits here. We waited a very long time for our food and drinks, despite the fact there seemed to be a lot of staff working. We were served by a few different people, but Vicky was amazing and brightened up the room and customers. She was the only one with a smile on her face the whole time! While Vicky was running around busy, other staff seemed quite miserable and not as eager to give customers a high level of service.Overall it was a good visit, but hopefully the speed of service will be improved.

We visited today. Food was very enjoyable and beautifully presented in a Covid safe environment. However the star of the show was a lady who spotted without prompting my friend who had recently had a back operation and needed a cushion. Thank you!!! 😊

given a voucher for afternoon tea which sadly expired in May - rang today to be told that they had extended for three months - though did ring before May and was told that they had extended due to covid but no time scale given. So when ringing today to be told that they now wouldn`t honour it was rather upsetting. My husband is vulnerable and certainly would not want to sit in a cafe. I would have thought that in the present circumstances that people would be more understanding and helpful

Drewtons has always been a family favourite since it first opened. The menu is fresh and seasonal, the surroundings warm and welcoming and the current COVID precautions are well thought out and practical. We enjoyed a lovely leisurely breakfast outside in the sunshine recently. Fabulous farm shop too stocked with lots of Yorkshire goodies.

Our first outing in 6 months to a restaurant - we booked afternoon tea as a family to celebrate a birthday. The food took almost an hour to come - we had children with us who really struggled as they were so hungry. Afternoon tea was very average - finger sandwiches were crispy so had obviously been left out for a while and the scone quite dry. I appreciate these are difficult times for restaurants but basic quality shouldn’t suffer. It’s a shame as I don’t think I’ll be going back.

Pleasant enough seating in the cafe and outside area. The food was expensive for what it was. If you don’t mind paying high for average fare, then this is the place for you

We came here for breakfast and the menu provided a great choice! Lovely freshly cooked food and good service following Covid safety precautions

Came across this super place and had a brunch. So impressed came back the next day too. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Very clean and we felt secure and safe. Will come again when we are in the area and have recommended to friends.

Popped in Friday for lunch after almost an hour of waiting and only managing to get a cup of tea we left after the waiting staff had informed us the chef had forgotten to cook our meal they even charged for our drink!The place has a lovely setting the staff lack clear engagement with customers and unaware of what’s happening around them we usually visit a couple of times a year not anymore

Called in today and was very disappointed! The service in the cafe was atrocious. We waited 20 minutes and still wasn’t served, so we left!! Their loss, our order would probably have covered 50% of another girls wage. Definitely shan’t be rushing back!!

We had an amazing Sunday lunch-time meal just before lockdown. We were a family group of 5 adults and 3 children celebrating my birthday and our wedding anniversary. We all had very different meals. All were well cooked and extremely tasty. My grandson especially enjoyed his ‘afternoon tea’. We had a lovely waitress (possibly called Vicky) who was great with the children (aged between 8 and 4). We were unable to take our own cake (due to Covid) but they brought me a small cake with a candle in to celebrate!It was a brilliant lunch and I can’t wait for them to open again.

We live in Huddersfield and visit Beverley monthly. Our day out always includes a visit to Drewtons on the way home. The food choice in the cafe is great and very good quality, we like sitting outside to eat if the weather is good. We then spend time in the farm shop which has many tempting things. The meat is excellent and we stock up for the month. We also buy their flour, it makes really tasty bread. The staff are very friendly and always about if you need to ask anything. Car parking is easy and the whole place is in a lovely spot.

Went for the afternoon tea as we thought it would be really special. Quite disappointed. They got our sandwich fillings wrong, we ended up with more cheese and pickle and for the price you pay l could have had that at home. I noticed the table opposite were complaining they hadn’t been served and they came at the same time as we had. Another table left as they were fed up of waiting.I certainly will not be rushing back for afternoon tea.

Went with family for afternoon tea, it was absolutely gorgeous. Have been for lunch there but never afternoon tea, I would totally recommend it to anyone as the food is fantastic.

Pre booked afternoon tea for 1pm didn’t come until 1.50. Came with a lot of side dishes we hadn’t ordered but were told they were part of it, yet charged for it later. Food was excellent thiugh

Called for lunch . had a superb meal , lovely staff so friendly . worth a visit ( plus very good shop ( foods and gift area )

Our first taste of a Burns night in a fabulous setting.Huge room set out for weddings but was a great space for dancing and intimate dining.Gorgeous set menu on the night. Friendly staff.Toilets were beautifully decorated too.Very enjoyable evening.£35 for 4 course meal.Definitely recommend for a special occasion.

Not bad food overall a little overpriced in my opinion but service is always good and friendly and food is to a decent standard

I have visited Drewtons many times since it first opened and watched a decline in quality and service, have they lost interest? I have kept returning hoping that it has improved but I'm constantly dissappointed.The service staff walk around staring at the ground, it is hopeless trying to get their attention. The food used to be good but is now mediocre, what a lost oportunity.The owner needs to get a grip on the situation, apply some staff training and imrove the kitchen procedures to produce quality food more quickly.

I have visited here several times and always found it to excellent. Not service and price and food. Vicky is lovely and a credit to the company. I would highly recommend

It is such a shame to be writing this but I feel the owners need to be aware of customer experiences. My husband, daughter and myself visited the cafe today for a late lunch after a long walk (so we were starving!). The cafe wasn’t particularly busy and we were eventually seated and given menus. Then we waited. And waited. The young lady who seated us made it her mission to totally ignore us. She spent a great deal of time slowly clearing tables and then disappearing. After 20 minutes we got up and left. We would not only have spent at least £40 in the cafe but we would have also spent money in the farm shop too. I’m really sorry to say we will not be returning.

Went here for a nice brunch. We arrived and saw it was very busy, but had room at the time for us.

My wife had eaten here before and thought it a good half way house to meet family from Hull and us near York. Very disappointing. Service was slow with excuses rather than solutions given for slow arrival of food, drinks and even glasses of tap water. Food when it arrived really wasn't worth the wait - particularly as it was so cold inside the restaurant that we all ate with our costs on. My wife couldn't eat her burger which was a solid lump of overcooked meat so it went back almost untouched. My hanging kebab included enormous chunks of chorizo with tough skin on so impossible to eat until removed. Overcooked pork as well. Our relatives both had a flan of some sort but were unable to identify any taste... The leading waitress was very apologetic and offered not to charge for the burger which is why the rating for service is average rather than the poor it otherwise deserved. But we definitely would not go back.

I’ve visited here several times over the years each time with a different friend, definetely will not go again. It has always been overpriced, the staff are unfriendly and it’s very cold In the winter times. Oh and nearly always have to make a third choice because they have ran out of 1st and 2nd. I only live up the road so only have been when a friend has wanted to visit. Too many other nicer places to visit so don’t bother

A super busy restaurant, using local ingredients. We've been coming here for years. It's very popular so if you are going for a special visit you should book. We always liked an Afternoon Tea for an occasional treat but they suddenly reduced the portion sizes to quite small. They do great cooked lunches too. It's a superb Farm Shop with their own butcher's shop & bakery. Very hard to resist the pies & cakes.

Popped in on a whim expecting a tearoom-type place. They do afternoon tea but also have quite a long menu of hearty hot dishes so, given the weather, we opted for stew. Very nice it was too. Big portions and very hearty wintry food. Liked the staff here too. The farm shop is also worth perusing. Overall a good place to go, with decent value prices given the quality of the food, which appeared to Be homemade.

After a very positive experience at this restaurant a few months ago with a family group, I recommended that we should go again, this time with friends. We booked for lunch, and on arrival were shown to a table in a corner of the dining room next to a large radiator, which we were pleased about as the weather had suddenly turned very cold. However, the radiator wasn’t on, and when we asked if it could be turned on we were told it didn’t work.

This place was recommended and exceeded expectations, light airy restaurant, lots of food to buy and takeaway. Also many bespoke packaged products, we bought good quality plastic flowers in a pot for £22 to place on a grave at the nearby cemetery. Friendly hard working staff, you cannot add tips to your bill if paying by credit card, a shame.

Great food, friendly and helpful - worth booking.

Once again a great meal and good service - highly recommended

I ate here last week with a friend and was really impressed with the menu's range of local produce. We had lunch and the bill came to a little over £30.00 for two mains which were just shy of £10. Then we had two hot drinks and a juice. The service was really good too as the lady who served us was really good at communicating the status of our order and did not rush us at all after we'd finished our meal. I will certainly be returning to try the afternoon tea (a couple were sampling it next to us and it looked amazing). There's also lots of parking and you can peruse the farm shop should you wish after your meal.

Five of us called in here for a drink and a slice of cake and were very pleased. We were taken through into another seating area with large wicker chairs. The waitress was very friendly and helpful as it was our first visit. Three of us had scones which were really big and fresh, lovely and crispy on the outside with a small pot of jam and some clotted cream. the other two had toasted teacakes. We had pots of tea. The bill was pretty reasonable really. You expect these type of places to be on the expensive side but the surroundings were nice, comfort and service were good, crockery was nice and food very tasty.

We've eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. From yummy full English breakfasts to more fine dining options, there is something for everyone.

I loved the experience of being here esp on a hot summers day... nice high class clientele... very pleasant seating arrangements and delicious scones (date and walnut) and wonderful coffee... highly recommended

Bought a slice of Apricot and Almond cake to take out. Looked lovely with white cream centre. - However on tasting is was ghastly. Massive sugar content with false acidic taste and made a film on my teeth. - Like a lot of these Farm Shops there is an element of Smoke and Mirrors as they give the impression everything is 'Home Made' on the premises but often is bought in at a budget or made with budget ingredients and sold at high prices.

We were bought an afternoon tea voucher for the 2 of us. Phoned to book a table and time. Welcomed by staff and given 2 options for tea. Chose the more traditional one of small sandwiches, scones and sweets.

Very slow service salad was limp and unappetising because it was saerved on a hot plate. Tried to order dessert but after half an hour of trying we paid the bill and left. Needless to say we won’t be returning

A group of us had a lovely afternoon tea here to celebrate a birthday. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food - all of it was fresh and delicious. We didn't feel rushed at all and were able to sit for quite a while savouring our food and several pots of tea. I was very full for the rest of the day, as the portions were so generous!

Truly value for money. There was a choice of a savoury based or sweet based tea. Good choice of sandwiches and savoury snacks and sweet cakes and treats. The choices of teas to suit all tastes from breakfast tea to herb or fruit tea at no extra cost to the set price. Will definitely go back.

Popped in as was passing not been in for 8 or 9 months would have Had the quiche but it was salmon so went for my old faithful breakfast and pot of tea service was very good chatty and smiling bit of a Waite for the food but not a problem the quality of the produce was good but the cooking wasn’t all

Out of town upmarket eatery with plenty of parking. Large outdoor seating area for the sunny days. Very busy around lunchtime. Views over wolds valley and good walks close by.

Went with family for lunch, excellent service and lots of lovely food, hoping to go there again very soon.

Called here again for breakfast with tea and an orange juice at about £14 quid. Good friendly service and no rush. The food is all good and deli taste/standard so worth the money and it’s a great visit. Can’t take a green dot off for this but please can someone get some/change to tasty organic tomatoes or something to finish this meal off-thanks in anticipation

Ordered power salad with halloumi £11 -got about £3 worth on my plate

Really unimpressed,stale sandwich and cold soup served with no smile.The food was poor quality and took almost 45 minutes to arrive,the soup was so cold it had a thick skin on it.

I had lunch here today with my Mother and sister in law. The food was all delicious. Great choice. We had a very relaxed and enjoyable lunch. The best part of our visit for me was the lovely Vicky who served us, she is a real asset to Drewtons, thank you Vicky, you made us all smile!

We visited Sunday mid morning, it was very quiet and we ordered two teas and two bacon sandwiches. We had to wait over 40 minutes and then when we asked where our food was it came a few minutes later. The sandwiches only had one small piece of bacon on each side, it was burnt to a cinder and smothered in butter. I have never had worse good in Yorkshire for years. If you cant cook a bacon sandwich you should close down!!

We visited friends and they said they wanted to take us somewhere really nice for tea and scones and they were not wrong the staff the place the service were lovely and as for the tea and scones they were honestly fantastic!!!!!

If we decide to go to Beverley we usually combine it with a trip to Drewtons for lunch.Its a popular venue but whilst they have some very pleasant waiting staff they need to do something about speeding up the kitchen output. Nearly 30 minutes to get simple starters such as soup (which was very good when it finally arrived) is about 15 minutes too long and then there was another delay to get the main courses. The pie crust was far too hard and my recollection is that the pie previously came with chips which is what I was expecting not a poor quality mashed potato on a poorly presented plate which was far too sloppy with a weak gravy swamping everything on the plate. Coffee was good quality. Todays experience whilst not bad was not as good as previously experienced.

My husband and I came to Drewtons for lunch. Even though the restaurant was busy, we were seated quickly, and very well looked after by the friendly and welcoming service team. The food was delicious - fresh local produce, perfectly cooked - and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer lunchtime experience. Thank you to the team for taking such great care of us.

Visited here today as part of a group of 11 friends - the experience could not have been better. The staff (especially a lady called Vicky) were superb, and nothing was too much trouble - we were really well looked after.

We decided to call in for lunch as we pass there frequently on our way to pick our grandson up from BishopBurton and so glad we did,my wife is a coeliac and it posed no problem at all,we both had the club sandwich and my word you have to have a good appetite to finish the sandwich,the staff were fantastic and the club sandwich was probably the best ever.

We booked a table for 5 for Easter Sunday lunch a few days before and we were not informed that we would only be able to choose from a special Easter menu. Having people with food intolerances in your party, this made our choice very difficult as they were no options to suit them (gluten / lactose). This is a real shame as the normal menu was really appealing!

A group of us meet there regularly for lunch. Always a warm welcome. Food can vary but generally good. A pleasant rural location. A very tempting food shop adjacent - full of goodies.

A cafe and farm shop, the cafe we found had great service (very attentive) but over priced for a cafe; it was more restaurant prices. However generous portion sizes and homemade cakes.

As a family we paid a visit to Drewtons for lunch. The service we received from Jackie was fab, and the quality of the food we had was brilliant. We will be visiting again in the near future, thanks to all the staff at Drewtons , keep up the good work.

We decided to drop in for some lunch and we are so pleased that we did.

Had lunch at Drewton’s today as I often do when visiting South Cave. Although I hadn’t booked and they were very busy they found me a table immediately and I was served lunch and coffee to the usual high standard, with the minimum of fuss or delay. The chicken pie and veg hit the spot - perfectly cooked and presented - a proper ‘gravy dinner’. The cappuccino was tip top, and the service was first class. Waitress Kate deserves a special mention; today - as always - she was friendly and helpful, attentive without being intrusive, and calmly efficient despite a very high workload. Always smiling and with cheerful chat, her welcome epitomises good customer service. Many thanks to the Drewton’s team - I’ll be back!

We weren't disappointed and will definitely be visiting again - in fact, already booked in for the Good Friday event. The steak pie was one of the tastiest yet and the coffee was nice and strong. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed and the staff were very nice. A good touch was information about about upcoming events shown beneath the glass table top with a list of very tempting Gin and Tonics. Their website has lots of information too. Couldn't resist buying some cake on the way out for later :)

Called in on Saturday for lunch and although it was very busy we were soon shown to a table. Varied menu and Specials Board catering for all appetites and dietary requirements.

We arrived at 16:55 and asked what time they closed, in five minutes they said. We asked if we could still get a cup of tea and some cake and we were given the best service ever, even though they were getting ready to close. We can’t recommend this place enough

We had breakfast here this morning and have to say we would highly recommend it.

Attended a dine and wine evening at Drewtons. This was supported by Little Wold Vineyard.

I have dined at Drewtons a handful of times in the past and not been overly impressed, finding the food and overpriced but following a recent lunch I have changed my mind. The menu is larger with more variation. I could have easily chosen three or four things from the menu!

Booked a special afternoon tea for 9 of us including one gluten free and was surprised to have to pay £50 deposit but did so. Unfortunately one of our party was unable to attend on the day and because she cancelled her place, we were not charged for it, which was excellent.

Just returned from drewtons where we have been a lot of late. Was told they were full and couldn’t accomadate so went for a look around in the shop only for the lady with red hair to run up to us and tell us they have a table. GREAT. I ordered the liver and my wife the turkey pie. Both were amazing. The staff were fantastic as always. I have read recent comments and would like to commend the manager who responded to Emma Claire’s comments which were horrendous towards a team of dedicated staff. I know none of these other than to chat in the shop or restaurant. Well done ladies and gents. Keep the good food flowing. PS GET THE MUSHROOM SOUP BACK ON.

I noticed that some have written some views and are dissatisfied with the service.

Although arriving 2 minutes before breakfast finished we were told it was no problem and were promptly seated and our breakfast order taken, the tea arriving within 2 minutes to the table - 10 minutes later our delicious vegetarian breakfasts arrived - all staff were warm friendly welcoming and efficient - highly recommended

Just popped in for some lunch all the staff were very accommodating and friendly with a lovely atmosphere. Food was fantastic especially. I had their famous all day breakfast and asked for the beans to be replaced by a hash brown even though this wasn’t on the menu they were very obliging and nothing was too much trouble for them. Really enjoyed our meal experience at Drewton’s. Well done

We have been coming to Drewton’s ever since it opened, my parents are residents of south cave and come often. The past couple of years there has been a notable decline in the service. The staff used to be friendly, happy and offered really good, caring service. After visiting Drewton’s today, that is it definitely not the case.

After being let down at short notice by another venue, Drewton’s agreed to host a reception for our daughters naming day and our wedding.

My two daughters and I went for afternoon tea today. My youngest daughter had been taken as a treat for her 30th birthday in September and was so impressed that she suggested we all go for afternoon tea to say well done to my eldest daughter for passing some exams she has worked very hard to gain.

I have been coming to Drewton’s on and off ever since it opened. I have never had any major issues with the quality of the food or the service for that matter other than to complain about the inconsistency of the coffee. Drewton’s are blessed in a number of ways, not least being in such a prime location, dare I say it, close to where the money is.

Having visited and enjoyed meals previously, I wanted to take a friend to share the experience. I explained my allergies to the waitress, we waited 40mins for our meals to arrive, mine included the obvious allergy I had takem pains to explain. Profuse apologies however, after such a long wait I stated that I would not bother to eat, a very insistent waitress brought a replacement meal some 5 mins later.

I went with a group of friends who had been previously and enjoyed it. What a great recommendation it was! The chicken and avocado open sandwich was really tasty and fresh. We had a real variety of food from salads to scones and we all enjoyed what we had. One of the best things for me as a mum was how family friendly they were. We had 2 babies and a toddler in our party and they were all welcomed. Well worth a visit!

Couldn’t believe that they now ask if you have a reservation when you want to go in their cafe for breakfast. Food is always very good but service varies. Prices have now gone up faster than inflation since it first opened. Has become pretentious.

Well my wife has wanted to come here for the last few years on our wedding anniversary and finally we went today. Really disappointed. Staff friendly but hadn’t been sat down 20 seconds before they were asking if we wanted to order. Decided on a cappuccino so we could wait till 11.30 for the lunch menu to go live. We ordered a soup and sandwich combo. Soup was like warm at best so that went back and the sandwiches were on cheap shop bought bread which felt like it wasn’t fresh. Salad uninspired. We are up and left. We usually go to the balloon tree at Stamford bridge and left this place to go and have tea and scones to finish our meal. Sorry but wouldn’t return. £28.00 poor value imo. They say you get what you pay for. Clearly not always

Highly recommend the hot beef sandwich, caremalised onions and lovely fresh and crispy bread! This was tastier than the beef sandwich I had at The Ivy in York- honestly. Beautiful coffee, salads, cakes and the chips are divine. Definitely need to try the burger next time, looked gorge.

First time we have visited Drewtons restaurant,it won’t be the last. Wonderful views over beautiful country side. Very friendly staff, very clean, great service, We had to put our name down and wait for a table on the day we visited, seats are available while you wait or look around the shop as we did. Apparently it is advisable to book a table as it’s so popular. The shop is smaller than I expected. We didn’t have to wait very long before we were seated as we had already eaten lunch we ordered tea, coffee and cream scones which we would definitely recommend. Looking forward to our next visit

Called in today on way back to Hull after visiting York.Great service by the waitress in the cafe,always love walking round the shop,great choice and value for money

We visited the last week of September in glorious sunshine and with stunning views of the Wolds.My son and I both had the Power salads with chicken-superb.AlsoKate who served us was really pleasant and attentive.A great lunch!

Went with a cousin and family along with an 8 month old, have never been before so wasn't sure what to expect but the service was brilliant, and the food also and plenty of it. A highchair was put at the table for baby, and he got lots of attention from the staff, all in all an excellent lunch experience

Past by many times and last week thought we would stop and have tea and cake ... food & drink in the shop looked interesting but expensive ... shown to a table in the cafe area and given menu ... and we sat ... and sat ... and sat ... staff seemed to forget all about us and were more interested in talking with other customers ... so we gave up in the end and left

Visited, after only booking a couple of hours earlier, to celebrate Auntie's 93rd birthday. Staff were cheery, helpful and accommodating, even serenaded with 'Happy Birthday' complete with instruments and harmony. The food was of the usual high standard, tasty and fulfilling.

Staff really friendly and eager to please. Quick service. Eggs cooked to order. Some reviews are negative but I’ve never had nothing but a fab meal, fab service. Really lovely place, views and surroundings and food.

This place used to be OK but the standard of food at my latest visit was noticeably worse than usual. The worst thing is the attitude of the staff though. Rude and dismissive. Avoid.
