Kyte Hotel-Chestnut House Restaurant in Wakefield

Held my 60th birthday party at Kyte,can’t thank Charlene and team enough for a warm, welcoming,efficient and all round brilliant time

Smashing food polite staff value for money highly recommended defiantly come again plenty parking space easy to find 😀

Took parents for a nice lunch !! Definitely dissatisfied to say the least .The menu didn’t coincide to what’s on the web site asked for 3 different items on menu non of which were available. The food eventually arrived after 35 mins of waiting ordered 2x soup and small sandwich and one Yorkshire pudding with sausage, the soup and sandwich came out first all on one large plate presentation 0% some prawns where still frozen! Cold soup which I returned to member of staff the reply was is it !! No apology to come out the second time no hotter than it was before! Sausage and Yorkshire pudding arrived 10 mins after our soup and sandwiches to my mum had already finished eating.No one came to see if everything was ok after we had finished sat for about 15 mins with plates still on table decided to go pay I said about issues we had she replied with ok I will let them know still no apology!! No goodbye or thank you as we left But the best thing about it was there was only our table in does that say anything or what Avoid !!! ☹️

Totally unorganised for our wedding party.!, No Food! Staff were not to blame for this, it was lack of manager being present and no communication to staff of our booking for a party of 17. Thank you to staff who were there to cobble together a few toasted sandwiches for the wedding party. You were great and should not have been in this position.

Went for lunch today at the Kyte it took 45 mins to arrive considering we were the only ones dining it was a long time . When the food arrived it was cold so sent it back to the kitchen after another 30 mins we cancelled the food . I was then told it was coming out and we would not have to pay for it , we could not believe we only had two pieces of chicken in curry . It was a joke so sent it back refused to eat it would not recommend eating there . There excuse was they were prepping for Sunday lunch so obviously we were not important enough to them to provide a decent meal .

Fabulous food on a cracking and varied menu. A new name and a new experience, really well renovated making for a really relaxed atmosphere and highly enjoyable dining experience. From the moment we walked in we were greeted in a friendly and professional manner by the front of house, Darren. Loved the variety on the menu and we all had a different dish for each course. All fabulous food and beautifully presented. One of our party described the cheesecake as “the best cheesecake I have ever tasted”. Will definitely be going back soon. Highly recommended.

This place has had so many owners and/or chefs over the last decade and none have done it any favours- until now. Now the Gallimores have it, and after a tentative trip last night for my son's bday I can confirm it is now in great hands. An extensive, interesting and varied menu, great service and food that didn't disappoint. Really pleased for them - we'll be back.

Please ignore all reviews pre Covid as the Kyte is under new ownership and much imrpoved. Beed for Sunday lunch 2 weeks running and great value for money. Only criticism is that on the first visit the food was luke warm and had to be heated again, but was still delicious and we throuoghly enjoyed the meal. Staff eceleent and venue first class.

We had a lovely meal at Gallimore's this week, food was very well presented and tasted delicious. Craig is passionate about the dishes he creates and the ingredients. he sources. The staff were lovely too, very friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit.

We had lunch today at the Kyte with two friends.We all were very complimentary of the food and service.We had three different main courses and all different desserts and all of us were very satisfied,all the dishes were perfectly cooked and tasty.My wife was especially complimentary with the gluten free option.

We were invited to a friends family member 90th birthday celebration and was asked well in advance for our menu choice The restaurant is lovely and well presented My partner had ordered the soup and when it arrived the bread roll was floating in the soup and the butter was squashed in between the dish and the plate However as there was quite a few of us we said nothing and just got on with eating I had ordered the lasagne which was presented lovely but could have been hotter and my partner had fish and chips and only got 4 chips All in all I think it could have been better as they had our order well in advance and there was no need to rush to cook it and the portions could have been better

After booking for a table for six at 10am the same day for lunch, we were met by waiter saying there was no fish no scampi no lasagne, after choosing from what little was left on the menu three of our party who ordered pie were then told there was no pie left, lunch is from 12-4pm we arrived at 1 30pm so it wasn't as if it was late we were also told the fryer wasn't working like a previous reviewer. The poor waiter was so apologetic and felt for him, wasn't his fault so no point in having a go at him he tried his best. The management really need to address this. We decided to try elsewhere, on the plus side our drinks were on the house, such a shame as it is a lovely place.

2 of us went for lunch. Was told the fryer was broken so no fish or scampi available. Meal took ages to come & had to send one back as hard eggs & 'homecooked chips' which were frozen French fries were cold. Meal was poor but at least we got food as another table of 8 people ended up leaving as they were told most of items on the menu had run out. On the plus side the staff serving were good but I won't be going back anytime soon

What a very pleasant evening, great service, friendly staff and very good food in lovely surroundings. A quite evening, ideal for a catch with an old friend and so convenient just off the A1. The Coffee was excellent, nice beer and good all round value, thank you for a very pleasant evening.

After some disappointments on recent visits this was much better.From order to service of the food the time taken was much more acceptable.Our sea bass was cooked perfectly with nice accompaniments.This chef is good.Will go again.

My wife and I had never been to the Kyte Hotel before and using an internet search,picked it for somewhere to eat, before attending a concert nearby later that evening. It was suggested we try their Festive Afternoon Tea and we were not disappointed. The hotel was clean, quiet and the service excellent. The food was very good - in fact there was more than enough to the point where we were offered boxes to take home what was left which we did. Looking at some of previous reviews which are less than complimentary I can only say that this was not our experience and based on what we observed of the hotel layout and the food we enjoyed, we would have no hesitation in recommending afternoon tea at the Kyte

We have known the Kyte for many years(since opening in fact) and we have had some excellent experiences there with lovely meals. We have also experienced it recently and there is no comparison. Staff are ok but not as professional.In the evenings there seems to be a complete lack of good supervision. We have had two recent meals there. A few weeks ago we waited a long time and when the food came my wife's was good but mine was inedible/burnt - we were told that a new chef had started ( obviously not a good one)- remedied by staff.This week we decided to give it another go but the wait ( despite there only being four diners in the restaurant) was far too long. We were told this time that only one chef was on that evening - (they only needed one chef for so few diners.)The food when it came was disappointing.There is some good competition in the area and the Kyte in going down hill in our opinion - reflected by the very few diners on the occasions we have been there.The owners may wonder why- they should be there in the evenings to view what is going on. A great pity because it used to be so good. We can only think there will be a demise soon.Though it is on our door step, we will not be giving it another chance, unfortunately.

This is the second time we’ve eaten here & it really is tasty! Went for my birthday in May & as it was my birthday got an allowance for mine thanks to Simon who was very helpful! Meal was very tasty & hot all of us said we would be back. Booked for Father’s day today it was fully booked so that says something set menu 2 courses for £11.95 & 3 courses for £13.95 excellent value for money! Soup, lamb, beef & pork was all fab one very slight criticism the roast potatoes was a bit hard but everything else was fab! Thanks for making Father’s Day special & we will be back as not many nice restaurants around.

Went to a big family birthday event in the function room (30 people). Everything was run very smoothly and the food was excellent, frankly far better than you might expect for a large-party function. Very impressed.

I organise "Lunches Out" for fellow residents at Rosewood Court which is a retirement complex in Leeds. I am always looking for new venues where we can enjoy a traditional 3 course lunch in pleasant surroundings. Having, some years ago, been taken to the Kyte Hotel for a birthday lunch by my son and daughter in law I contacted the hotel for a copy of their lunch menus. I was amazed to find that they did lunch for Senior Citizens at a cost of £11.95 for three courses plus tea or coffee. Last Friday we were short on numbers but four of us decided to give it a try. It was fantastic. The food was delicious and well presented. The service was friendly and efficient and the surroundings very pleasant. It is certainly a venue we will be revisiting. I noticed that there were other menus which younger people should find interesting. For travellers on the A1 going either North or South the Hotel is ideally placed for a stop off for refreshment.

Having stayed at the hotel we opted for the breakfast at £8.50 which was plentiful and tasty. Plenty toast was served and good choice of cereal.

Went for lunch with friends - we were the only people in the restaurant, but the food was good and the service efficient.

Absolutely beautiful afternoon tea for two. Plenty of Sandwiches and other savoury items as well as lots of desserts. Very good value for Money would highly recommend.

A Very Big, Very Special Birthday.

Visited this hotel on a Saturday night where they offer a choice of three course meal plus bottle of wine for two for £30.

Genuinely the best curtains in any hotel I’ve ever stayed in!! As a poor sleeper they were much appreciated as they kept all the light out of the room (number 9). We need a set for our house!! The rest of the room was clean, spacious and nicely decorated.

A very pleasant restaurant with a good light lunch menu at reasonable prices. Wine not bad price too. The food was hot and well presented. Service was good but perhaps a tad slow

Me and my now husband recently just got married here and it was an amazing day!! Nicola and Mark really was great in helping us organise our big day!

Visited on the 5th October for lunch, was shown to a table by a friendly member of staff the seats are really comfortable much better than a lot of places I've been but I'm not here to talk about chairs! The food was exceptional I went in not expecting much but it was done to a high standard I ordered sliders and sides I cannot fault anything at all definitely looking forward to returning.

We have just re-visited this restaurant after a long time. We were exceptionally pleased with what we found. On arrival you are greated by a friendly reception. We were then show to our table with comfortable chairs. My wife had a prawn cocktail as a starter which included cucumber, baby tomatoes, grapes and celery with the usual salad. Very good. We both had the turkey for mains which was very good with a very meaty thick gravey. Highly recommended.

We always stop here for lunch on our way to the north-east. Food is tasty and price is reasonable. A good stopover place and just off the A1(M)

Go to this place regularly and the staff talk too faced and clearly food takes far too long and it’s far too expensive I can go to Darrington golf course and get a burger meal for £6 there here it’s £12 and it won’t be great when comes to you, and there restaurant that can’t stand complaint s but when you hold the least staff what do they expect , a mean there’s never no deals on drinks what do people go for it’s crap and heard ya doing takeout s but it’s still dead must be management.

This was a really good experience.

Went for a family birthday bash. Good location and very nice venue. There is plenty of parking. The menu was varied and imaginative. The staff were efficient, tidy and knowledgable.

If we were not regulars here and first time customers the wait for food may put us off revisiting. Even allowing for being freshly cooked ( but offset by few tables occupied) the wait has been too long. As we have said before though it is the quality of food which attracts us back. Well priced ; good quality and well cooked/presented. The staff are very friendly and efficient as well. The dining area has a nice relaxed atmosphere.

We went here on the 25th July for the Weds fish and chips night, the food was beautiful and really well presented, highly recommended.

second time here, very nice, no complaints, love the 3 times cooked chips, the food and service is very good

First time visit to the Kyte Hotel for lunch. A friendly welcome and a relaxed un-hurried atmosphere. There is a Lite Bite or a full menu for lunch, one of us had fish and chips with chunky chips and home-made mushy peas and the other one had Chilli and rice.

Always good food!!! Service like a 5 star hotel very helpful manager I highly recommend this place if you want to be treated the highest level starting from the receptionist and finish on the night porter.

Food was very poor quality. Tasteless and reminiscent of a school dinner. No way did the meat get carved off a turkey - more like pre sliced processed meat. Service as far as food was fine but it was sort yourself out with drinks. Extremely expensive but goes without saying that establishments will overcharge on Christmas Day - wouldn't have minded so much if the food was good but it was shocking.

Called in for a cocktails after having a flyer through our letterbox. Thought it would be a nice evening out before Christmas after finishing work. Walked in to a place with no atmosphere at all. Orderd 2 cocktails at 8.55pm and was told they would be served in 10 minutes. At 9.15pm still no cocktails, other People seemed to be getting served. Decided enough was enough and left at 9. 20pm. Lilke to use local amenities but won’t bother with the kites again. You need to up the game or train your staff.

Have had numerous meals here in the last few months in the lead up to our wedding reception here on 7th October 2017. One week a Sunday roast with friends and a few different evening meals with my other half. And finally the wedding reception. Fantastic, courteous and friendly people serving delicious food with a superb selection of drinks in a relaxing environment. Cannot praise them highly enough hopefully our guests will testify the same. Whether a couples meal, family dinner or a wedding party please give the Kyte a try you will be delighted. Thank you team Kyte.

Food is good and plentiful, there is a reasonable selection form the menu, there is a private dining room if you require it

Really quiet when we arrived. Really quiet when we left. Afternoon tea was ok- an odd, flavourless mousse type thing, but the rest was fine. Customer service very poor. Had to wait an age to get coffee refills. Not once asked if everything was ok. Asked manager if he'd forgotten us and his unprofessional response was 'I've been busy' - with three other people eating? Busy??? We won't be returning.

Have had 2 meals here in two week a Sunday roast with friends and an evening meal with my other half. Excellent service and sumptuous looking and tasting food. Can recommend the Sunday roast. Lovely ambience courteous, helpful and friendly staff. Plenty of parking. Just off the A1 northbound so also ideal for stop off if driving on the A1.

Walking to our room reminded me of the B and B's in Blackpool. Decor was very dated. The room was also dated. Plenty of plug sockets. Spoons hadn't been washed and only 4 milks. Shower waste of time, water just trickled out. Good job I didn't have to wash my hair. Breakfast was ok. Had to ask for juice and glasses.

We dined in this restaurant where the food was tasty and good value. The sharing platter was delicious and a good selection of menu choices.

Fuimos para la Cena del sábado con nuestros nietos. Reservado para las 6:45 así que no es la hora punta. La zona del bar no estaba tan ocupado, pero tenían una gran fiesta de cumpleaños reservado para más tarde. El ambiente en el comedor es...

Hace algunos años este fue el Castaño - el lugar para una reunión familiar semanal. Cuando cerraron nos fuimos a otro lado incluso cuando se volvió a abrir como el Kyte. Por casualidad nuestros amigos eligió el lugar ideal para una reunión de negocios hace unas semanas, y tuvimos una excelente comida en un lugar tranquilo ideal para una conversación.

Visited a couple of times recently as we live close by. Super restaurant and not so busy which is great for us but not them!Also good value. Could not fault the dishes on either occasion. I suspect people aren't aware of this place and head to the usual town centre places to buy poorer quality food at higher prices! Give it a go?

Stopped for lunch in Darrington and were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was easy and relaxed, the staff, once you could summon them, were attentive and friendly and the food was not over priced. We only had starters but they were tasty and up to expectations.Good result!

A good choice of food to suit all tastes, well presented and well prepared. Generous portions at affordable prices.

After going here for amazing afternoon tea we decided to return for a family birthday meal in the evening for 10 of us, the decor of this restaurant is modern and clean. The choice of starters , mains and desserts was fantastic, something to suit everyone, the food came out in a timely manner inbetween courses, the waiting and bar staff were very friendly and attentive , the food was extremely tasty and all homemade and fresh. Price of the dishes were extremely fair considering the effort that had clearly gone into the food , nice bottle of house white for £9.95 aswell, compliments to the chef definitely and will be returning again, would defiantly recommend.

I visited here on a Saturday evening, as a group of friends it was ideal, the food was delicious and everyone agreed with me on that and we chose various options. The room is nicely decorated and background music suitable so we could all chat and hear one and other. The only problems were because it was so quiet there didn't seem to be any atmosphere, and a few of the toilets were shut off, which wasn't a problem as there was only a few people there but could have been if it was busier.

Been here a couple of times now. Menu isn't extensive but the kids enjoyed theirs and the portions were good. Time taken to bring the meals was quite long as there were no other customers but maybe they don't have many kitchen staff on in the early evening. Other than that, i'd recommend for a mid week meal.

Well worth a visit here for afternoon tea and you must go on an empty stomach. We received a tiered cake stand with fresh sandwiches, quiche, soup and a vast selection of cakes. The only criticism was the room was empty just us in and getting someone to fill our teapot up took one of us going to look for someone, would have been nice for someone to ask if we were all ok and if we needed anything. We had lots of left overs and again after having to go ask someone to come with the bill we got everything boxed up to take home.

The restaurant is excellent especially the great value Friday night menus where 2 eat for £30 for 3 courses. They shed the midweek traditional bar food type menu for more interesting offerings. This week if was pigeon breast for main which was fantastic.

Home cooked food at its best if anyone can find better value for 3 courses id love to know about it.Fish cakes and garlic mushrooms both seasoned to perfection and well presented.Unfortunately was to full for desserts but Sunday lunch main course was perfect , home made Yorkshire pudding and delicous gravy with roasted root vegetables and perfectly cooked pink beef. Definately recomend and I'd definately return.Service staff could smile more tho.

Good menu, especially the Friday 3 course dinner special for 2 people at £30. Menu changes regularly. Some reasonably priced wines. Chef is excellent. Happy to recommend. The staff are efficient, and attentive.

Enjoyed the steak and ale pie and a glass of decent shiraz. V attentive and friendly staff. Prices reasonable. Recommend

Lovely afternoon tea.Main areas been decorated and hopefully open end of this week so should be lovely.All nicely presented and tasty.Dont like smoked salmon so informed them as it is normally on afternoon teas and they substituted the sandwich for something else.Lovely selection.

booked Sunday lunch at the last minute... the quality was excellent and the service from the staff was really good will def return

We visited on a Sunday afternoon, some of us having afternoon tea and some having the three course Sunday lunch. Both were very enjoyable, the starters in particular were lovely. The three course meal was excellent value for money at just £12.95! The only gripe was that service was a little slow but it was quite busy so can be forgiven!

Went for a afternoon tea with my girlfriendStaff was brill from the go had a tea n wow when the afternoon tea meal came out it was two two tier stand. one with sandwhiches quiche foamed soup the other with buns scones cheese cake brownie shortcake cream jam burlee well worth it cheers Jorrdan for the brill food

Having previously been here and enjoyed a meal my friends and I decided to book for New Year's Eve, what a good choice. From beginning to end the evening was wonderful. Once again the staff were very friendly and attentive it almost felt like they were all enjoying the evening too although I feel sure they would have preferred to have been with family and friends.The Buffett was delicious with lots of choices which made it a tad difficult to dance afterwards.The firework display was spectacular.Thank you so much to the organisers for a fabulous night.

Went with my wife for a late lunch as we live in the village and can walk there. The décor/furnishing is very nice and contemporary but at the same time warm and comfortable. Wine by the glass is quite expensive but our meals were reasonably priced. My wife's fried fish was a little overcooked/slightly dry but otherwise tasty and a good size. My steak & ale pie was very well cooked and all the vegetables were good especially the sweet potato chips. Very good meal and in a relaxed atmosphere - we will definitely go again.

Great food in great surroundings. The staff are so helpful. I will be back when next in the area. Thank you for a great stay.

Stayed for two nights for a business meeting, the food was good and served in good time by the good staff they have. Had scrambled eggs and salmon breakfast this was very good also the full English was excellent

Although I hadn't previously visited The Kyte, I suggested it to a friend as a place for us to meet for a coffee and a catch-up on his journey north on the A1. First impressions count and I was most impressed by the décor and warm ambience. At 3pm we were the only ones in the Brasserie My friend had stopped earlier for lunch but as I hadn't had any lunch I ordered a hot beef and onion baguette along with our coffees. The coffee was good - although served in a pot for us to pour ourselves would have been more convenient than it arriving in cups. The baguette (served with a small green leaf side salad) took a little time to arrive but it was SO worth it! The baguette itself was fresh, warm and crusty, and the tender hot beef and onion filling was generous. We had a second cup of coffee each before parting company. Our waiter was courteous, well-groomed and smartly dressed. As The Kyte is only a 20 minutes' drive from where I live I'll certainly be returning as the lunch menu listed some lovely dishes! Top marks to The Kyte, its 'front of house' staff and chef(s).

Came here for afternoon tea with several friends, what a bargain, well worth the money and far far better than any local competitors. We were offered a hot drink on our arrival, which was welcome on a cold day. Sandwiches and desserts were in abundance and everything was absolutely lovely. The lady serving us was very friendly too. Will definitely be returning very soon

Eight of us booked a meal as part of a tribute act evening. We had a three course meal each with various choices. We all enjoyed the meals. Very tasty good portions and hot. We will return.

I booked a meal for 18.30 but arrived early We were welcomed by a friendly young man who checked our booking and asked us if we would like to sit in a soft seated area with a drink whilst we looked through the menu .The menu was quite varied catering for most tastes and there was also a specials for the day menu The general ambience of the room was friendly and welcoming and meals were served to table in a seated area adjacent to the bar The meals that we chose were well prepared tasty and served at reasonable intervals between courses There was a birthday party with some 16-20 covers with a further 4 diners but the staff coped adequately I would make a return visit to this hotel for an evening meal and with its proximity to major road routes it is easily accessible

My friends and I had Sunday lunch here there were 8 of us. Yet again they didn't let us down, we were celebrating a birthday. I wish I had taken note of staff names they were all so friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough for us. One in particular was a new member of staff she was so lovely and attentive. If we required extra veg, gravy etc it was brought without any problem. All the food was delicious and really tasty.We have been to this hotel several times now and enjoy it so much we have booked in for New Years Eve although we will return in November to celebrate my husbands birthday.Thank you all so much a lovely afternoon was enjoyed by us all x

We have just been to the Kyte with six friends for a meal. We were asked to arrive at 6.45as they had two large parties in. We put in our food order before at least one of the parties, but waited a long time for our starters. We waited even longer for our main courses, which arrived minus two steak sauces and garlic bread. After the meal my friend told the waitress that the steaks were awful and that they had all left some steak. No offer was made as an apology. Our four desserts took even longer to arrive! When one of our party went to pay the bill no offer of a reduction was made for the steaks. Very disappointing evening not to be repeated.

Although the staff were quite friendly (except for the two rather frosty waitresses at the evening event) there was a lot of things wrong with the room we stayed in mostly to do with the bathroom. There was no plug in the sink (we had to go to reception to obtain one), the shower had hardly any pressure and the bath was cracked in several places. The food at the evening event was good however and the drinks were reasonably priced.

We eat there regularly and its always reliable. They obviously have a couple of chefs, because some times it is better than others, but we have never had a bad experience. Its a great location - less than a minute from the A1, but usually not a lot of road noise. There is also ample outdoor space so we often take the dogs with us.

Had a quick evening meal with a colleague after a long drive. Had the rump with Stilton sauce, followed by millionaire cake, very nice meal

Very quiet for a sunday had 3 course £15.00 food was nice not lots of it but fine nice friendly staff nice setting defo another visit

We last visited in 2010 when the food was absolutely fantastic. Sadly our recent visit did not compare. The portions were tiny and meat portions were a joke. It is such a shame that the food has gone downhill as it is a lovely place and the staff are very nice. We won't be returning as we all had stomach issues afterwards.

Great value for money.I had the French onion 'soup of the day',which remained warm throughout the meal and it was extremely delicious.The mains portions were very large which was OK for my husband but not suitable for my elderly father in law... they asked us for feedback and we advised it would be good to have some smaller portions available... they were happy to receive the feedback too. Service was very good.We will certainly be going again for our next special occasion. It has never faulted in all the years we have been going. 5* again guys x

After reading some of the other reviews I admit I was fearing we might not have such a great meal, but as this was a reunion of friends, I hoped it would be ok.There were only three tables in use by 12.30 which told its own story.Four of us ordered 'Proper' fish, chips and mushy peas and one ordered a salad. It took quite a while for the order to arrive and when it did, the peas were not on the plates as they were coming separately, which they did several minutes later with the food already getting cold. What arrived was a huge bowl of garden peas, not mushy as stated in the menu. I enquired about the mushy peas at which point the waitress fetched a menu to check and then asked if we still wanted mushy peas, which I did. Another 5 minutes passed and out came a large bowl of mushy peas.My fish was dry and over cooked, it had bones in it plus a large piece of hard fin. It didn't taste particularly nice either. The chips also had a less than pleasant taste.So sadly this was yet another disappointing meal here so I am afraid I will not return.

I must say before anything else the staff are very friendly and accommodating, probably the reason why we didn't complain, but on hindsight we should have.We { husband and I } decided to go to The Kyte for lunch, it is quite easy to get to from where we live, and as we didn't feel like travelling too far on a bank holiday,it seemed ideal.It worried us a bit when we arrived as it was around one and it was dead, but we decided to look at the menu, which was quite varied. As we were looking a few more people arrived so we decided to stay, the beer was nice so we were looking forward to a good meal.My husband plumped for a 20 oz steak with all the trimmings I went for a cajun chicken salad with pitta bread, hummus and a side of chips. My husbands steak was no way near 20 oz it was thin and tough, also not rare liked he'd asked for. My lettuce had seen better days,limp even the one's not warmed up by the hard dry chicken, hummus and bread were nice, chips ok, bit greasy. I could not finish mine far too many peppers and lettuce.We were really disappointed, it wasn't cheap and think we could have got a better meal at a cheap pub chain, needless to say will not be returning.

A nice meal spoiled by the vinegar bottle being full of flies...shame qe had all used it on our food and started eating before we spotted it. No apology, no discount, no omg, just 'I'll change it, it always happens when they've been muckspreading''. We won't be back to find out....shame we could have put a lot of business their way, too!

Great Staff, food we had was good and wholesome. But the beds in the 3 rooms we booked are just knackered and need to be burned. They need to change the beds urgently If yo can not get a good nights sleep what is the point of staying here. Would not return for that reason.

Ate here twice in one week as we were staying in the hotel. Good selection on the menu with specials. Pigs cheeks were delicious. Liver cooked to perfection. Pity the espresso machine was broken all week.

Ok Its Xmas Lunch and at least you can relax a little at the KYTEThe price is in line with the seasonal good cheer all restaurants extend to customers ie they think of a number and double it !HO HO Immediately relaxing and calming with adequate parking The restaurant rooms were spacious and airy with several areas in a sprawling ground floor Food was good especially the turkey, All the party enjoyed the lunch and that was thanks to the backroom staff as well as the waitresses lots of nice touches by the manager and staff More xmas lighting and a little pressy for the kids ?Well done it was it something to be proud of!something to build on year on year

It started badly. When I called to ask if it was serving lunch the person on the phone couldn't tell me but passed me on to someone else. When we got there the tables were all set for Xmas Day (it was Xmas Eve) with just two set without tablecloths for today's lunch time guests. The service wasn't exactly over-enthusiastic and although there's a full menu much of what was on offer was frozen. I had the leek and ham and blue cheese pie which certainly tasted of blue cheese but was short on leeks and unfortunately the pastry was not cooked through. The wife's sea bass was OK but the 'oriental broth' that went with it was a little short on taste. And the coffee machine was out of action!On the plus side: a fair selection of wines by the glass (but why wasn't I given the wine card when I asked bout them?) and the free wifi is automatic.It looks like a good establishment with plenty of investment in the environment. It's a pity it let itself down today. I got the impression they weren't interested but wanted to get on with tomorrow.

First time I have been the the Kyte hotel I suppose it is a slightly obscure location. The facilities for the meeting were great tea and coffee and Wifi.The food was served at lunch time, for me my only criticism would be the size of the portions for the money.

Lovely warm well appointed room nothing too much trouble,catered for 70 probably 80 turned up still plenty of food for all,everyone to a man commented on the place and food quality, staff so helpful on hand when needed ,loads of comfortable seating in an extra room connected to the dance area ideal to go to talk,great choice would recommend to anyone,first CLASS

This village restaurant provides very comfortable surroundings for the enjoyment of your food. The menu provides for good style typical pub food which is excellent and the friendly staff adds to the enjoyment.

We visited this Hotel/Restaurant by accident and were very impressed by the food and service. The only downside was that it was very quiet but it was a Monday lunchtime. My husband and brother-in-law had an amazing Ploughman's - excellent good quality ingredients all looking lovely and fresh very well presented. Not only at least 2 types of cheese but also a hand raised pork pie, egg mayonnaise, chicken, chips and salad! My sister-in-law has various food allergies and nothing was too much trouble. The waitress even got the chef to write down all the ingredients in the salad dressing! The menu had a good choice and I would have liked to have returned one evening but alas we live a 3 hour car journey away!

a place you need to drive to but worth it. great fresh veg superb gravy sunday lunch offers three courses,home made Yorkshire puddings

Stopped off A 1 on way home last minute decision to try to get something to eat. My meal Poorly presented and cold I wasted my money should have carried on into York.

Lovely ambience, lovely food! Called in on the off chance, but we easily got a table for 5, mid week. Staff were extremely pleasant and there were clean plates all round! Would recommend the beef bourguignon...beautiful flavour!

Me and a friend shared a room for the night before our friends wedding. On the Friday night we and other friends had to 2 for £30 meal offer. The food was absolutely amazing!!! I even ate the salad and I hate salad! I had heard that drinks were very expensive and I am pretty tight with money but to be honest I found the bar prices pretty reasonable! The room : I found the room totally fine. Bed was very comfortable , I slept like a log, I was very impressed that extra pillows were in the wardbrobe as I can't sleep low down. There was a tele but we didn't have time to try that, kettle and drinks in the ro with my favourite biscuits ever Lotus caramelised :) The bathroom was huge for a hotel bathroom! All staff were extremely helpful throughout our stay and the wedding. Breakfast was amazing too. I look forward to eating there again

First time and last over priced food and nothing good about it. Two of us had burgers well over priced and nothing to shout about dry and tasteless best thing was the home chips probably 8 c hips £10 for this. Other food was very basic. Over priced food for poor quality

They clearly use good quality produce but my medium rare steak was well done and the steak diane sauce was totally overpowered with mustard. The other meal was gammon again good quality but totally overcooked and was tough as a result. Not a good experience won't be backed.

I've stayed at the kyte Hotel on a couple of occasions when visiting Yorkshire for business meetings. It is usefully situated just off the A1 and very handy for travellers. The rooms were clean and comfortable and good value. Staff were very helpful on both occasions. My sister joined me for an evening meal in the restaurant which proved to be enjoyable.

I recently visited the Kyte Hotel restaurant (Wednesday 1st April), luckily I had my tastecard as I certainly would not have paid for my meal.My sister and I both ordered Homemade Nachos (at £3.50 Each) – which I must say were excellent, my sister ordered the Kyte Burger (approx. £11) – which again looked and her feedback was excellent.I unfortunately ordered the Pork Belly (at £12+) which I immediately sent back:The Pork was overcooked, dry and tastelessThe ‘Crushed’ Potatoes included a ‘old’ roast potato and a random semi warm new potato Vegetables that that obviously has been pre-cooked (not very well) and then heated in the microwave (again not very well)The Jus was a floury thick ‘sauce’ that was drizzled around the edge that again was horridThe waitress apologised immediately and asked what I would like instead – which I ordered the Mushroom Risotto from the starter menu (can’t really go wrong with this – or so I thought...)My sister actually finished her meal, plates cleared and waited for another 10/15mins before I saw my meal, this was equally as disappointing:The rice and mushrooms were lovely, however from some strange and unknown reason it had fresh and cooked cherry tomatoes in it (which I’m allergic to) – but never thought to mention this as I’ve never known Mushroom risotto to have tomatoes in it – then if that wasn’t strange enough it also contained ‘chunks’ of sweet Wensleydale cheese with Cranberry’s – which left the most horrid aftertaste in my mouth.Safe to say I didn’t enjoy my meal.I have e-mailed with this feedback - so I will update if/when I get a reply...

Really nice steak and the ingredients were fresh and tasty.Would recommend food.better than I expected for sure.will be back
