Light Dragoon in East Riding of Yorkshire

Let’s turn a corner from our most recent experience of this place: It’s so sad to see a pub, a eating place and social centre slip so badly, My wife and I brought old friends here for a midweek evening meal and how poor the whole place felt, dirty, cold, unkempt and even the public toilets provided really run down. This pub needs more than just a bit of TLC; The whole place needs to turn a corner

Sadly this pub has really declined, been going down for a while but this lunch time was a new low, £14.95 for a crispy pork belly with thyme carrots creamy mash and cider jus what my son got was flaccid pork with inedible flabby skin, piles of boiled carrots and a dribble of water, not jus, the advertised apple sauce nowhere to be seen, my pie resembled a cannon ball both in appearance and texture, burnt beef and over cooked burnt chips, my husbands chilli was ok, beer on the turn my wine ok, not many people in, young man was trying to do everything by himself. Pub was cold, feel menu is beyond capabilities of cook. Really sad as this was a lovely pub hope they turn it around.

This has always been one of my favourite village pubs having lived in Cherry Burton. When I can I take friends and family for lunch any time one year. Log fires in the winter with heart warming meals and light bites in the summer. Always beautifully served with fresh, local ingredients.Fantastic friendly service.

We have visited this delight on and off for the past couple of years and have delighted in the welcome, food and ambience. Our dog was always welcome and whilst the welcome remains as excellent as ever the food sadly does not. Terrible lunch, first offering sent back due to burnt sweet potato fries, second left due to inedible burger bun (fear it may have been microwaved) Hoping this is a one off but dont know if we are brave enough to return. Such a let down....

Had a couple of lunches here this month. Steady trickle of customers throughout our visit. Welcome dogs in one bar food was excellent fish and chips, steak pie or sandwiches.

visited for dinner due to been dog friendly. menu was good and reasonable. hand pulled beer too. when food came it was really well presented and tasty too. staff were also friendly. issue was with the wait, almost 30mins an dthe pub wasnt busy. could have put it down as a one off but reading other reviews on here it seems to be a regular thing. hopefully can iron out whatever the issue it. i understand its all fresh etc but for what we ordered there really isnt an excuse. would still visit again if in the area tho

We visited whilst staying locally. Pub is lovely and cosy inside and dog friendly which was a plus for us. Three of us ordered steak pie which was delicious and one gammon. Little one had pasta which she enjoyed. It’s a little more expensive for your usual pub grub but was lovely

August bank Holiday but other pubs en route back from the coast were sticking to their "closed Mondays for food" policy. We were recommended by the Pipe and Glass in South Dalton to try the Light Dragoon.Glad they did. Parking a bit tight but the village and the place itself lovely. Friendly and helpful bar staff and good service.A table for 2 was no problem. Oredered at the bar and while the wait for our food was a bit long the Lamb Rumps we had were worth waiting for.Cooked pink as requested and nice accompaniments. We didn't have time for puds but the selection looked enticing.The Light Dragoon is about a 40 minute drive from home and while a bit too far for an evening meal it will be on our radar on our return trips from the coast and for some lunch outings as well.

Went here today with my hubby & my parents. The two ladies that were serving were very friendly & helpful. In particular Sarah who was very smiley & they both were working as quickly as they could to get the queue down. Apologising all of the time for any delay.The sandwiches were fabulous & GREAT value for money. We each had a different one...fish finger, club, steak & a pulled pork. Would definitely return and have an evening meal. Well done !

Went for lunch to get away from the masses. Great service and food. It was well worth the journey. This pub is a actually in Etton a small village outside Beverly.

Yet again,a great pub evening meal at The Light Dragoon. Great meat pie with fresh veg was the order of the day for some,lasagne for others,everyone enjoyed the food,well done again to all in the kitchen.

Went here yesterday I had sunday dinner of roast lion of pork it moist, thick cut and good flavour. It came with homemade pink apple source and cider gravy, fresh yorkie, firm bot over cooked veg and roasties very good. Partner had roast beef and it looked like a good quality cut like sirloin and was again cut like two steak, she is not easily pleased but enjoyed this only thing I would say it would be good to have more gravy or gravy jug. We thought he service was fine about 5-10min wait for food so not sure why all the harsh reviews here and no need to give one star reviews, give it a go it's worth it

Good sized village pub with ample parking. We arrived mid Sunday afternoon, place was fairly quiet and we could easily pick our table. Bar area is attractive with a good choice of drinks including well kept real ales. We both opted for the Sunday roast which was a little underwhelming, perhaps due to the time of day, not at it's best. Beef was good, but veg were a little "kept under heat lamp". Probably would have been better nearer to noon, but really no excuse to serve soggy Yorkshire and veg. This is a good pub and I can imagine when it's busy it's a good place to be. One thing though, get rid of the twinkly Christmas lights and decoration, it is Summer you know.

Party of 7 of us. We waited an hour for the main courses, even though there was only one couple in the restaurant apart from us - and then we all got served a different times. The food was ok, but chips were a bit underdone. The deserts were nice but 3 coffees that we ordered were cold and had to be sent back. Disappointing because we had been there last year - summer 2018- and everything was fine.

Very good atmosphere and gorge food throughly enjoyed my Sunday lunch and gin sling Thank you highly recommended.

We booked the room at the back of the pub for my husbands' 50th. It is really light and attractively decorated with patio doors opening out to the garden. We had 40 adults and 20 children and it worked perfectly. The pub were incredibly good to deal with regarding the arrangements and allowed us to put a bouncy castle on the beer garden and use of what is actually the landlord's garden for the children to run around on . The food was excellent, arrived exactly when requested and was very good value for money. I just couldn't fault a thing. Huge thanks to Malc and his team. I wouldn't hesitate to hold another event here!

Have eaten here a few times,freshly cooked food,so have to wait that bit longer but haven't been disappointed so worth the wait,nothing flash,just hearty food,nice wine,nice staff,nice welcome. Give it a try and enjoy.

Last minute decision to visit as my wife and I plus the dog was out and about.

Will not return. Just been for mother's day table booked for 5pm, turned up early when seated no menus given nor cutlery. Hour wait for our starters and 2 hours all in all. Service was shocking terrible customer service. Complained when my hubby picked up the bill. Just got abuse and no apology. Couldn't even knock anything off the bill. Will not be returning!!!!

My husband and I stopped at the Light Dragoon after a couple of hours walking with the dog. The pub was as welcoming as usual (we have been a number of times before). Sadly the service was a little slow which we have found on previous occasions. My husband had a lovely roast beef dinner. My beef and mushroom stroganoff was served in a bread loaf with wild rice and chips which for my taste was one carb too many perhaps a bit more rice and no chips. I also found the stroganoff a little salty. I appreciate that my comments are a matter of taste and would not wish to put people off giving the place a try.

We booked a table for 19:00 on 15th March 2019 and were still there at 23:00 the ambiance was relaxed and enjoyable. The landlord and staff were good, not overpowering but there to ensure satisfaction.

I always enjoy going to the Light Dragoon at Etton. The Gins on offer are fabulous and the food is excellent. I always feel at home when I go there.

My husband and I visited the Light Dragoon on Wednesday lunchtime, along with our dog. We went into the Walker's bar, and found a lovely, sunny spot in the front window. We had a pint each, lots of choice, and then a Caesar salad, and the Walker's reward, which was effectively a ploughmans lunch.....I asked for chicken to be added to the Caesar salad, and it arrived with lots of fresh, grilled chicken breast, for which there was no extra charge.....the Walker's reward meal was excellent value, and would have been enough for 2 people to share! Overall, we had a lovely lunch in a traditional country pub, and will certainly be visiting again!

Trying new management team. very hospitable host nothing seemed to phase him. ordered from lunch menu good selection. gammon was just right - nice and thick (not sliced ham) beef pie was to die for.. very happy with lunch and would certainly go again.

Been coming here for many years and always tried to support it. Have been a few times since it reopened and had good meals although slow service. However, on Friday night my friends and I waited 1 hr 20 minutes from ordering to receiving our food. Our food was fine except the 'home cooked chips' were not on the plates although advertised on the menu. Although at the end of the evening we mentioned our disquiet about the delay in getting our food to the bar staff, no management came to our table and at the end of the meal it was again the barman who came and apologised saying there were 'issues in the kitchen with new staff'. It would have been more appropriate if the owner/manager had come to see us himself to apologise. We were all very disappointed.

Been coming here for years and it’s still as good as ever dogs welcome in Walker’s Bar, same menu do small lunch but it’s still a good size and good, wine and beer excellent

Another Friday night for a pint and a pudding. Friday night before Christmas. Log fire, good staff especially Sarah who liked the Sticky Toffee. Plenty of room to find a good table. Booking is available and an excellent menu.

Mid week lunchtime visit, bit of a nostalgia trip as we held our Wedding reception here (47 years ago). Comfortable pub in a lovely village setting, well worth the slight detour of "main" road.

We had starters for 6 and dinner for 6.All the food was excellent.Large portions.Lovely pub,Lovely atmosphere.The landlord could not be more helpful.Will be back again very soon.

We booked last minute on a Sunday evening. Many years ago this pub had an excellent reputation for food, and as we hadn't been for a few years and it has recently been refurbed, we thought we would give it a go.

My husband and I ate here yesterday after visiting the Cheese Festival in Hull. He had the Walkers Reward and I had the puled pork sandwich with fries. We were tempted by the venison, chilli and chocolate stew on the specials board, but suspected it could be a bit filling for a lunch.

Malcolm and Kristi made us very welcome. Great food! Thank you, we'll certainly visit again when we're in the area.

We first came here about 18 months ago just after it had been refurbished for lunch and were very impressed with the quality of the food and ambience. On this visit I was not sure whether it would be just as good or failed. I am pleased to say that the welcome was just as friendly and the place was reasonably busy. We ordered our beers and took menus to the table to look at. Food was ordered and took sometime to arrive at the table but this is to be expected for a good meal. The portion sizes were huge to say the least, and the quality as good as last time we visited. The food was well presented and tasty, what more could you want. We will more than likely return.

When the Light Dragoon was taken over by new management (the current owners) we had great expectations. It is in a pleasant location and the building itself has quite a nice feel to it, it is also right on our doorstep which would be convenient. Alas after several visits I doubt we’ll be ever show our faces again. Our impression is that the establishment is badly managed and if some of the reviews on here are accurate I get the impression that they don’t really care about customer experience.

Staff are lovely. Very attentive. Visit spoiled by licencees children out of control, running in and out and being annoying. Also lots of people refusing to go there as the 'ambient ' music is so intrusive. Every time anyone asks for peace, he turns it down, then two minutes later it's like a city centre noisy pub - shame. Lovely spot but probably never again. Look at your target market

Visited here yesterday lunch-time and ate in the dog-friendly bar area with our setter.

Really love this place, was visiting regularly many years ago but now live farther away. I like the refurb - done really well in a modern way.

Up there with one of the worst meals I’ve ever had. Arrived, ordered drinks, were giving menus, only to be told upon taking our order that they’d ran out of Sunday lunches. Ordered gammon and chips, and asked for the fried egg to be thoroughly cooked through. What arrived on my plate was a meal greasier than a fry up, the chips were oozing with oil, the gammon was 90% fat and was dripping with grease, the tiniest piece of burnt pineapple and a laughable crispy rock solid frisbee which resembled a fried egg - our table could not believe this had even left the kitchen. I ate 4 mouthfuls and when the waiter came I explained that meal was horribly greasy and he agreed with me that the egg was appalling. However upon receiving the bill there had been no meal removed, or even discount for the £13 gammon (fat) steak which is now wrapped up ready for my dogs to eat. I would have much preferred a £6 gammon meal from Wetherspoons. I am genuinely shocked that this meal even left the kitchen. The only positive about this pub is that both members of staff were extremely friendly upon greeting and seemed really nice and friendly, but I will absolutely never go again and will advise others not to

Nice country pub. Pleasant staff and food was reasonable but 1 and 1/2 wait for food was ridiculous. Gin rather pricey.

Visited yesterday meeting up with friends from Cheltenham chosen because it was a"dog friendly pub" greeted with a warm welcome from Malcolm the landlord. Lunch was good value without being fussy, well cooked and nicely presented. Worth a second visit probably in the evening and try the restaurant fare. A happy customer and the dogs enjoyed the treats!!

This was our first visit to the Light Dragoon. The restaurant was clean and tidy, the staff were friendly and the food was very good but the service was slow despite the fact that less than half the tables appeared to be be occupied. We’d be happy to return but not if we were in a hurry.

So I came here today with my family, we booked a table for 3:30pm and as the place wasn’t really busy yet we got a booth by the window with a nice view of the fields. I came here at Christmas and it was lovely with the wood burners and just a lovely atmosphere well I’m pleased to say the atmosphere was just as nice during the summer. I ordered a medium rare steak and they brought out a well done one, I told one of the members of staff and they apologised and brought out a new steak and the second time it was really nice! I was waiting the food for a little while but I didn’t really mind as I was with my family and we were just talking so waiting a little bit longer didn’t bother us! After the steak I ordered a cookie dipping platter with was very nice the cookies were warm and clearly made from scratch it also came with fresh whipped cream and homemade custard (which was the best I’d had in years!) the only thing that really bothered me about this place was the toilet, the toilet itself was dirty and the door didn’t even have a lock! Which in my opinion needs to be fixed asap apart from that though the restaurant was lovely, good atmosphere and the food was 8/10 the second time not sure I will be coming back as there is better places I have been to that are closer to me but I have been to worse.

The Light Dragoon at Etton, near Beverley, is in a lovely village location and has easy parking. The pub itself has a nice ambiance and staff are welcoming and friendly, but... The roast beef dinners served to us were merely tepid, with the beef slices solid and tough and the vegetables rather overcooked.

Booked table for 7pm.1 hour from ordering the food arrived. Underwhelmed. Curry was luke warm. My steak was dry & pepper sauce watery. Should have complained but hey I'm British. Won't rush back. Heard the landlord telling a local his head chef was off. Well so was the food. Very very poor. The worst steak I've ever had.

We have been several times to this pub, as the ambience and service are really nice.

We had rented a house for a week in the village and after a long day out, decided to stop here for our evening meal. Despite not having booked and there being live music on a bit later that evening (1st Monday of the month), they managed to seat 9 of us over 3 tables, which we didn't mind.

We have been here lots of times and enjoyed it but this visit was very disappointing. I dont know if there's been a change of management or chef but the service was terrible and the food mediocre.It wasnt busy, but there was only one main course on the specials board. We booked a table for 6.30. Our starters arrived at 7.30. We noticed other people who came in after us had had their starters and mains before our starter came. We were told it was because ours took longer to cook. We had pate (which didnt need cooking) and baked mushrooms which ironically were burnt. The main course was a further 45mins. I had halibut, also overcooked. It came with a few boiled potatoes hidden under two wilted Pak choi leaves.The citrus sauce was truly horrible. I have a small appetite but i was still hungry when I had finished. We were not offered water, more drinks, desserts or coffee. Definitely not a gastropub.

Hugely disappointing. We have eaten at this Wolds pub on and off over the years and normally had a positive experience. It has been a excellent destination for a drive out into the Wolds followed by a pub meal. As we arrived a number of tables were reserved however we were told we could expect a 45 min wait for food. This was because they had one big family group in of about 12 people. We decided to go with it and ordered a simple starter to share on the basis that could be served sooner. That worked. In fact the main meal took over an hour to arrive and the end result was nothing special; low quality, freezer to plate. On that basis much over priced, we would have done better at the local fish and chip shop! Also staff didn’t keep in touch with us or other customers during the long wait which might have helped. Sorry but this one will be coming off out list, sad because a great village pub location.

The new decor looks great we thought, menu looks good, wine list ok ....

As a group of 4 we dined with friends on a Saturday evening having pre booked. Almost immediately we were shown to our table and the waiter offered to take our drinks order there.

Quite a nice feel when you walk in to this pub that I think has been through a number of management changes.

Went went in late afternoon good with our daughther and she had the kids 3 cousre meal , the soup on the children menu was so nice, and the që all had fish and chips which was spot on couldnt fault and think with the food the surroudings and the service, finished of with a nice irish coffee!

Heard about this pub from a friend, decided to book and go, with my wife Jane. On arrival, very busy, Great, Genuine Greeting from the Owner, and waiting staff. Good choice of Beer/Lager/Wine, including a Gin cocktail which my wife ordered, and devoured quickly. Starters of Mussels in Cider, Stuffed Mushrooms, were fresh and hot, and delicious. Mains we had, Tomahawk Steak, and Lamb. Once again, perfectly cooked, full of flavour. We were intending to have the assiette desert plate, but we were too full!! Will definately be returning, and woukd reccomend it to anyone looking for a new Dining Expierience. Just a 15 min Taxi ride from Market Weighton, which was good, as we stayed after our meal, for more drinks and cocktails LOL.

Had a fabulous Sunday lunch with friends at The Light Dragoon, food was excellent and the service friendly and efficient.

we had decided to go out for lunch but didn't know where to go, we were driving through Etton and decided to give it a visit, once inside the place is lovely. we had arrived quite early and the place was pretty busy already. we managed to get a table and ordered a sunday dinner, I managed to get the belly pork, the food was freshly cooked plenty of it.

So I have reviewed this pub previously and was very unimpressed so left a review to reflect our disappointment. We...

We called ahead to make sure a table was free and when we arrived had a table reserved near the lovely open fire, great for a chilly evening. The menu was well described and we opted to take advantage of the Valentines special from earlier in the week. Starting with a sharing 3 cheese fondue with various dips, then both of us had blackened monkfish on a risotto base and yellow pepper sauce, followed after a short break by a delicious chocolate fondue, coffee and home made mint fudge was included too and at £49.95 per couple was really impressed. They clearly have a good chef as the menu choice was varied and interesting, the food was cooked well, so we both agreed this place is on our favourites list, it plugs the gap between hum drum pub food and the more expensive gastro pubs in the area that are often booked up if you fancy a spur of the moment meal out.

Dropped in for a couple of beers and a snack. Light Dragoon bitter was very nice and the walkers platter...

Well thought we would give it a try and we did the one waiter was pleasant enough we were the only ones in had a drink then ordered food half an hour later food arrived clap cold he came with the plates holding them with a napkin when really he needed gloves on to keep his hands warm as the plate and food were so cold he knocked three quid of the bill but my bugbear is why cant they get simple things right will not be returning in a hurry

This is the second time I have been with my husband the other time over two years Ago! The pub has changed greatly inside with a modern cosy coaching inn feel to it. We called in today after recommendation from my husband who had lunch there with our son after a long cycle trip last week.

Visited with family on Saturday night. Best food I have tasted in a long while. Service outstanding and food to match. Had pheasant pie. Really good to see places using local produce and supporting local farms. Can't wait to go again soon. Landlord is great. Wish he was single.

Homemade burgers are unbelievable & amazing homemade chips. The cookies are fabulous too! Lovely homely feel to the place & staff couldn’t do enough for us. Been several tunes & always brilliant.

We walked along the disused railway line from Beverley and arrived just as they opened at 12 noon, in time to secure a nice round table in the bay window near a roaring fire. I had a couple of pints of the Light Dragoon beer, which was very good.

No longer eat at the Light Dragoon due to being disappointed on our last 2 visits due to several menu items not available and not told till meals served and the very small veg portions, but about a week ago did call in for drinks.

We called in for lunch and ate from the light bites menu, excellent value and generous portions, and very tasty, especially the ‘walkers reward’ platter. The rest of the menu and specials board looked delicious too. Will be back

This venue was not able to cater for a large group. The service was poor, and although the table for 26 was booked well in advance for 2.00 we did not sit down till almost 3.00. The tables were not set or cleaned. The staff were confused regarding menu choices although these were advised in advance. The portions varied and the amount of vegetables served was very poor. The potatoes did not arrive until towards the end of the meal. The Christmas pudding in particular was almost inedible as it was very hard and an alternative was not possible. A very disappointing experience.

A lovely Sunday lunch served by friendly and helpful staff. Really good value. Delicious home made soup and roast beef meal. Plenty to eat. Fantastic sweets too.

Nice friendly staff and atmosphere, plenty of room. The food was superb with plenty of choice. We were sat near a window nice view of the garden but felt a draught.

Visited midweek and found the welcome very warm, the staff generally friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely superb, and such generous portions! It was a low key family get together to a place we had not visited before, but definitely will again. The pub has a lovely cosy feel, authentically country, complete with open fires. An absolute gem.

We have been visiting The Light Dragoon for over 40 years whenever back in Beverley. We called in tonight for dinner. Since the last visit it's been refurbished and is much more inviting than before. The food was very good....top end pub food. Portions plentiful and good value. We arrived at about 7.30 and had to wait about 50 minutes for our meal - we were just getting restless when it arrived. Food quality was good and the staff friendly and helpful. So, we're happy that The Light Dragoon is in good hands and look forward to our next visit.

Arrived with family after a brisk country walk and was immediately warmed by the roaring fire in the main bar area. We were shown to our table by a lovely young waitress who proceeded to bring menus and take our drinks order. There were the usual "Sunday lunch" meals offered but also a blackboard offering "Specials" including a vegetarian option. One of the party was vegan and was happily accommodated with a blackbean burger, salad and fries, which was reported as being delicious. Other dishes enjoyed at our table were the lamb and a beef stroganoff served within a small bread loaf with rice, both received positive comments. The pub is really tastefully furnished and along with the toilets, is spotlessly clean. The landlord was really friendly and the waitresses, although young, were really lovely and super efficient. Looking forward to returning and would highly recommend The Light Dragoon.

I arranged for my daughter to have her engagement party here surrounded by about 30 members of family. The pub has undergone a refurbishment and it looks fabulous. Malcom the landlord arranged for us to have the bar on the right as you go in for our sole use. The buffet we chose was a mixture of warm and cold food including homemade sausage rolls And Scott eggs which were amazing !! Also home made brownie and cheesecake which everyone loved ! We were well looked after and had a lovely evening - thank you to Malcolm and his team for looking after us and the chefs/ kitchen staff who made all that wonderful food

I went with my friends to the light dragoon in etton and the staff where really nice. We all had the roast beef and the portion size was excellent and the gravy was outstanding. The beef was nice a tender will be coming back here again

We have been enjoying meals here in the past, but what a disappointment we had last night. We waited such a long time for our meal, then we had to ask when it would be arriving, when it finally arrived my food looked really unappetising, a solid portion of mashed potatoe, wet looking cauliflower and dry slices of lamb, the vegetables tasted as if they had been standing ages, and overcooked. Such a boring plate of food to be on the specials board, not worth the £15. We had to wait a long time for empty plates to be taken away, and they still left one, which we had to ask to be taken away after about 20 mins. Service was just not acceptable, and by the looks around us, others were feeling the same. On leaving, and walking right passed the landlord, very disappointed that he couldn't be bothered to say goodnight.

I went for a family meal last Sunday and wish we had not bothered. The pub itself is set in a nice village and the decor is very welcoming and typical of a country pub. The food took ages and was cold. I've never eaten a Yorkshire pudding before that was cremated yet cold! I got one stork of broccoli, a few carrots and a little serving of mash with the freezing cold lamb. Cost £15. It was not worth £15 even if it had have been warm and tasty, let alone with it being such a small serving. I mean seriously you can eat at Pipe and Glass for a couple of pound more and you get a proper size portion there and the food is cooked. The staff were pretty good and refunded some of the bill and were apologetic. I feel sorry for them as it's not their fault but clearly the chef is out of their depth and needs replacing. Please do not eat here as it is rubbish and not cheap either.

After a long hard week I thought it'd be nice to treat my family to a good meal out, in a quiet country pub, relaxed with good food. I've cycled past the Light Dragoon hundreds of times and after a friend recommended the quality and portions the decision was already made! We arrived to welcome friendly staff, happy to help and take our order, unfortunately that's where it ended. Our order was Kids menu.... soup, chicken goujons, ice cream and meringue. Grown ups menu.... Pork Belly, Mixed Grill. It took almost an hour to serve a bowl of soup, although the chef must of been under pressure because there were only another 6 people in the pub, 2 of those had already eaten. Then out came the mains 15 mins later..... The chicken had magically transformed itself into fish, now I'm no David Attenborough but I thought this kind of evolution happened millions of years ago... only the other way round! I flatly refused to pay but had a hungry child to feed. The Pork Belly was burnt, missing the potato cakes and had something black and sloppy on the plate, I presume this was black pudding. The rest of the plate, cabbage, was cold and bland. Onto the mixed grill! It says a mouth watering array of meat which my inner carnivore started to salivate over, that's the only taste I got in my mouth! Medium rare clearly means leather like in this place, there were 4 small, over cooked bits of meat on the plate, a few chips and that was it. Most of what was supposed to be on the plate wasn't there! It got sent back without even touching my lips. In a nutshell, the food is poor, very poor, overcooked, overlooked, bland, dry, overpriced for the quality and just inconsistent. The staff were helpful and apologetic, which I can't knock, but if the chef had cocked up a complete order and still expected you to pay, wouldn't you get your backside out of the kitchen and apologise, it not like you had a full house of orders! We left more than disappointed and still hungry, paid only for drinks and a fraction of the bill. I will never recommend this pub to anyone and save myself and the landlord the future embarrassment. REALLY..... Don't Bother!!

My wife and I had talked for months and months about paying the Light Dragoon a visit and we eventually had reason last weekend to go. And what a very pleasant treat it was. We were extremely pleased with the cleanliness and presentation of the place upon entering.We were greeted by a very polite and professional young lady called Beth who, for the whole of our visit, made us feel welcome and offered fantastic hospitality.There is a good choice of beer and what we had was very well kept. We were told that we could choose our food from the Light Bite Menu and Specials board. I ordered fish and chips and my wife the Walkers Treat. The food was really well presented and tasted great. I was expecting a small fish and chips but was surprised that it was about the size of a regular at most other establishments. The crushed garden peas and I can only imagine, home made tartare sauce were a lovely accomplishment. My wife's Walkers Treat was a real pleaser. Scotch egg, sausage role, smoked cheese, Yorkshire ham, pickles, mustard, warm bread, chips and a crisp salad served on a wooden board was the winner!! It looked and tasted great. It took us by surprise when delivered to the table and not normally one to take pictures of food got us reaching for our phones to take a photo to show friends and family.Well done to Beth and the other staff members behind the scene that lunchtime, we will definitely be returning again soon.

Met with friends. Very good meal. Menu choice not very extensive. Not a massive dessert menu but large servings

The Sunday Lunch menu, whist smaller than the midweek options, was still very broad with traditional roasts, a choice of fish and several "daily specials". Portions are large and the quality is first class. Top marks to the waitress and the landlord who provided great service, a twist of humour and a broad smiles.Everything about the pub was clean, well presented and nicely styled. It's more a place for taking your Mum than it is a "first date" sort of place.Slightly more expensive than pubs in Beverley, but you get what you pay for, it's good value, and highly recommended.

After a long walk along country lanes we went to the Light Dragoon for lunch. They only do light bites at lunch time so we both ordered the Walker Platter.WOW what a nice surprise . The platter was plentiful and I am sure one between two would have been enough .Nic updated pub . Staff nice a helpful and good service.This place is well worth a visit I shall visit again

Went to the Light Dragoon for my sister's birthday. We were offered a drink as soon as we arrived and there was an excellent choice- varied interesting beers, excellent gins and even a special cocktail (which was apparently gorgeous). We were then shown to our table were we waited for some menus ... and waited and waited , until in the end I had to ask for them. We all made our choices and waited for our order to be taken... and waited and waited! During this time a table that came in after ours had their order taken and the landlord and a member of the bar staff spent a long time chatting to them. Again I had to ask to have our order taken. The girl who eventually took our order was very helpful and they were prepared to amend things to take into account an intolerance. The food when it came was very tasty and everyone else enjoyed theirs - I ordered the vegetarian burger and sadly the burger bun was inedible and the courgette fries were tasteless. The staff however were very apologetic and offered to cook me something else. Although the service was very slow and perhaps needs looking at, we all agreed that we would return on another occasion because mostly the food was good, the surroundings are very pleasant and the alcohol was good.

We haven't been to the light dragoon for a number of years and thought w would give it a try.Overall food was satisfactory +, included a meat peat, 2 BBQ chicken, steak and gammon.Service was relatively slow - arrived before our booking time of 7.00 - no starters and our mains arrived 7.45. Saw a request for a table of 2 turned away as too busy around 7.10 to cater for them which appeared the right decision though there were 5 unused tables in the restaurant- would appear the kitchens are unable to cope with a full restaurant?Pie was pretty god, BBQ chicken, ok, steak ok and gammon pretty good. None of the dishes came with the marked 'salad accompaniment' and the mushy peas were unlike any mashies I have had before, mashed and quite dry peas, no sauce.Would go back though won't be rushing - there does appear a lack of traditional good, home cooked quality bar food around Beverley, this does not break the mold unless popping to Lund or sancton.

A very pleasant and helpful member of staff.Excellent, good value, food.Will definitely be going again.

Varied lunch menu to choose from, nice garden to sit in , excellent waiter service. Food freshly prepared and worth the wait.

The pub itself looks brilliant and has been developed into a great spot. The food matches the interior and all 3 courses were great.(I had to take some of the dessert home though, I was a little ambitious ordering it)

We had heard the pub had been refurbished. It was very nicely decorated. Visited on a lunch time was quiet when we arrived but a few people arrived during our time there. Waiter very pleasant and turned the music down at my request as it was way too loud to converse. Ordered the all day breakfast which was an enormous meal and tasty unfortunately did not come with black pudding as on the menu. The waiter did offer to get us some but we declined the offer as our meal would have been cold by then. The food did take a long time to come but was lovely and hot when it did arrive. Enjoyed the meal but not sure if I would rush back.

I have visited here four times now and on every occasions the food has been excellent. You can tell they make the food fresh on site. I would certainly recommend the fish platters, pate and sticky toffee pudding. The desserts are to die for. The food has surpassed my expectations every time. It just gets better and better. I am already looking forward to my next visit.The Landlord is welcoming. Staff are friendly and professional. The selection of bears is great.Children are welcomed and love the play area. Whilst you can enjoy the weather in the out side seating area. The back snug has a great T.V. to watch the football, Grand Prix and rugby. I have seen people dogs in here too.If they keep improving as they have since they opened its only a matter time before they get a Michelin star. Not there yet. But getting closer every time I have visited.

Three of us, all adults, went there for lunch in June 2017. It was our first visit. The waitress was good and attentive. We had a pint each and ordered lunch. My wife had the steak pie. Unusually, it was like a Sicilian pizza in that it was wrapped and did not look as though it had been in a pie dish. It also used puff pastry and she did not enjoy it. I had a lamb curry which was served with its rice, in a pot with a lid. The curry turned out to be chicken and not lamb, and there was, I’d say, about 1½ ounces of meat in it. The curry sauce had been thickened with cornflour. The rice was that large grain American type of stuff. It came with chips which were advertised as triple cooked. I’d say they were more like 8 times cooked. They were extremely dark, about the colour of coffee grounds, and I had to leave about half of them as they were carbonized. Some of the other chips also managed to be soggy! It was one of the least convincing curries I’ve ever eaten and a very poor meal. The third person, a relative we don’t see too often, ordered a gammon steak topped with a fried egg. There was a fairly wide rim of fat round part of the gammon, the fat was way undercooked, still translucent. He had the same terrible chips as I had. I would have complained there and then but felt that I didn’t want to ruin the social aspects of our meal together, so we paid up and left. Three meals and three drinks, £50.00. This place should not serve food if it can’t do a lot better than this. It’s now on my list of places never to go to. Clearly the chef, if they have one, doesn’t know the rudiments of making a good meal. To serve food like this, they must have no pride.

What a disappointment! a party of 11 of us went on a Friday evening for a meal. We were asked to pre order our meals which we did. Our table was booked for 7pm to eat at 7.30pm. The food was served at 8.15pm!! It was obvious the kitchen couldn't cope. 3 people ordered lasagne but one of them was inedible as it was burnt and too dry the others were only just Acceptable the accompanying garlic bread was also burnt.! The rest of the food was no where as good as it should have been. The chips had been kept warm . The price of the food had been increased probably due to the pub having been recently closed for refurbishment. Incidentally a couple on another table (not with our group) sent their meals back as the food was not fully cooked and the meat pie had very little meat in it! We noted when they left they hadn't eaten their replacement food.

Advised at time of booking that the evening was busy and a wait may be experienced. Arrived at 7.30pm received drinks, shown to table. Order taken some half hour later, though the place did not seem unduly busy. Received food around 8.45pm after a mix up of orders in the Kitchen which meant our food stood probably under warmer when it need not have been had the waiting staff/kitchen got their act together. The result meant the food was not as hot as it should have been which took the edge off our experience somewhat. Would try again in the hope that they could do better. A good menu sensibly priced and a good choice of ales.

Visited last night for my mums birthday. Superb!Ate here before the refurb and wow what a step up! Good selection of beers (well kept) and decor is greatly improved. Rang ahead and managed to be squeezed in at the last minute. Food was exactly as expected - real top quality pub food. This after all is a great pub not a Michelin starred restaurant! Hats off to the chef though the food was excellent! We ordered 2 pies, a steak and 2 of the "tomahawk" steaks from the specials. All cooked beautifully and homemade blue cheese steak sauce was superb! (I can be a bit funny about these being overpowering).We didn't have a dessert as we had birthday cake but the selection looked good. The service was good and prompt and I had a good chat to the owner about his beers.Great visit we'll be back!

It is an 18th building in a pretty East Yorkshire village. The pub has undergone a recent upgrade and is pleasant but still traditional. It is a lovely spot for a pint on a sunny afternoon if your walking cycling or having a drive out and welcomes dog owners. It does have many positives. But it is not a place to go for that special meal for your wife's or mothers special birthday. The food is very average, it is not a Wellington at Lund or Triton at Sledmere but it seems to be aiming to be in that market. In my opinion it would be better to lower the prices and be honest and realistic and what it is. The whole overall experience is simply not there. That does not mean it has to fail, it is in a lovely village and nobody wants to see a pub fail and close, but it needs to be realistic about what it is trying to be and not charging prices which are simply not warranted. Looking at previous reports we were put off from going, but it was not a disaster just not good, and would happily return for a drink but would not eat again. Locals who have just written one review will not help the pub because people see through this, although I understand the loyalty. I hope the pub can survive, but it will need to alter its role and maybe just try and diversify into maybe high quality sandwiches and ploughmans lunches.

As a regular at The Processed Pea, we hadn't been to The Light Dragoon since its refurb until today. We were amazed. A tired dull pub has been turned into a modern bright and inviting place to visit and to eat.A lot of thought and care has gone into the décor (not least the tiles in the Ladies - so I'm told) the staff and then of course the food.A great choice of beers on the bar and Sunday lunch (good roast beef and the mandatory big Yorkshire) was tasty, filling and enjoyable.We noticed others ordering the steak specials which also looked outstanding - in particular the 16ox tomahawk ribeye - I want that next time we visit.So good to see a place so cleverly and well updated with great service and food to match. we will certainly be back.

Visited early evening on a Sunday. Had pre booked a table after looking at the varied menu on the Internet. The pub was really quiet when we arrived and we were offered the choice of a couple of tables. The waitress brought the menu and advised us that we could only choose from the Sunday lunch one. My Husband spoke to another member of staff to query this as their website made no mention of a restricted menu, otherwise I wouldn't have booked there. She stated that the Website hadn't been updated and they now only do the Sunday lunch menu on a Sunday ! However as my Husband pointed out we should have been told this when we booked. She agreed she would do other dishes off the main menu if she had the ingredients. We chose four Steak Pies and one Beef Sunday Lunch. The pie was good, especially the crust however we all said it could have done with more meat. Chips were tasty but again not a large portion. The "Mushy Peas" were garden peas mashed with mint. I enjoyed them but the others weren't keen. My Husband's Sunday lunch was very average and although he said it wasn't bad he had tasted much better versions with more meat, vegetables etc. My Son had a Summer Berry cheesecake which he wasn't keen on. We all had a taste and all thought it tasted strange. The other dessert of crumble with custard was good though. Our waiter Will was good and very friendly. However we all said we were disappointed with the experience and food and would not return.

Just realised we are the Regulars referred to in an earlier Review ! We are Regulars as it's a Fab Litttle Pub with lovely staff , great food and a very welcoming atmosphere. Let's not knock the individuals that are willing to put their miney where thier mouth is and have a go . To many 'PIng and Dings ' and National Chains . it's far to easy to comment on this site without realising the consequences of your actions.
