Lockton Tea Rooms and Gallery in Ryedale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely delicious I had garlic mushrooms on toast and chocolate brownie sundae just yummy 😋 Can’t recommend theses tea rooms enough you will not be disappointed we can’t stop going back it’s so good 😋

Having been before my friend and I returned to try afternoon tee. We were not disappointed, the sandwiches and cakes were simply divine. The staff are wonderful, really friendly and helpful. I can't wait to return.

Superb attention to detail, everything delicious. Phil from Lancashire (below) is what is so wrong with our society, some entitled twerp complaining about how his avocado should be more mashed and God knows what else. Note to you Phil: you should take the example of this cafe, produce something of worth to the community with some skill (if you have any) instead of assuming anyone cares about your nit-picking patronising opinion just because the internet provides you with a public opportunity to make a mockery of yourself.

Back again on our holidays, been looking forward to coming all year and everything was just as lovely as on our last visit. We had a varied selection of lunchtime options, all delightful. Service was fabulously cheerful and helpful. See you again soon.

First visit here for breakfast. We had a range of things. Mine was the Turkish eggs. Pretty good, possibly too much yogurt for me. Expresso again not bad but not a patch from roost itself the day before. Choc biscoff cake was excellent. My partners avocado should have been mashed more and definitely some other flavour, specifically something sharp. Nice relaxed surroundings and the art to look at.

After a robust hike up, down & around the Hole of Horcum, this was always going to be a welcome rest & refuelling destination. But oh it was so much more! Creamy mushrooms, salads extraordinaire, sensational sausage rolls and the cakes !!! The freshness of the dishes and the service stood out too. We recovered, then we chilled, then we grinned - finally leaving feeling fulfilled and a new favourite lunch time place now on our radar. As they maybe no signs on the Pickering - Whitby road, just turn left towards Lockton & Levisham and you’ll find it.

Absolutely delicious toasted sandwiches, lovely coffee, and yummy sweets, served by really friendly professionals in a fabulous setting, and very reasonable!! The gallery was lovely too, a superb jem!!!

we had driven past the sign for this cafe for years, one sunday a few months ago decided to try it. what a little ge, love everything about it, cakes are simply unbelievable. so light, coffee great, nice atmosphere. so busy as well, we travel approx 17 miles each way, it is that good, bereft at moment as they are shut

A lovely and popular tearoom. Good choice of sandwiches, salads, toasties, panini’s etc all at reasonable prices. The cakes and scones looked amazing. Something to try on our next visit.

The Yorkshire Rarebit, with ham was fantastic, popped back the following day for breakfast and again wasn’t disappointed.

Wow, what a find! Lovely tearoom with friendly welcome & delicious food. We had falafel dish which was delicious and healthy too. Cheese scone to follow, equally delicious. Food fresh & well presented, also reasonably priced. Cakes looked gorgeous - will try out next time. Got to be up there with the best!

A lovely surprise to find such a great tearoom in a small village - not just a tearoom check out their breakfast/brunch menu - gluten free bread available too. Nice atmosphere - great service and lovely food. Also a gallery for local arts and crafts. I really enjoyed the Turkish Eggs! So refreshing to find interesting alternatives. Very popular and for good reason so best to book a table x

As soon as my family walked in we were greeted with “We have no room for you.” I may have taken it the wrong way as this place was recommended to me by a fellow Australian, but it felt discriminatory so we left. I can not comment on their food or coffee but their service (or lack of) was unfortunately not pleasant.

Second time visiting and the food and service was excellent both times. Mushrooms on toast, poached eggs, fried eggs, sausages, bacon, all lovely. They were very busy but dealt with everyone with humour and charm. This place is a gem. Highly recommended.

Never fail to please. Staff are excellent, they work extremely hard to provide excellent food. It is a genuinely excellent tea room.

We stopped off for a sausage roll which was tasty with caramelised onions on top under the pastry. Tea, coffee and the best lemon and blueberry cake ever, so soft and light. Husband has ginger sticky toffee. Small friendly cafe with seating outside. Lovely village

On a beautiful sunny day we sat outside in their pleasant seating area. We could not fault our experience the food, the staff and the setting were excellent. We had lunch, delicious cake and a good pot of Darjeeling and a coffee - all perfect. Thank you.

We ordered two salads which were beautifully presented and made with lovely fresh ingredients. The two cakes we tried were both exquisite. Our meal was washed down with pots of strong Yorkshire tea. Highly recommended for the food and friendly service, we will return. Dog friendly too!

I don't think there is a better tea room on the North Yorkshire moors. Lockton is a lovely little village with the tea room at the heart of the village green. The food is excellent, very carefully prepared, well presented and tastes fantastic. The service is very friendly and welcoming with dogs allowed as well. A must visit!

Lovely tea room in the pretty village of Lockton between Pickering & Whitby. Delicious choices of fresh food, sandwiches, soup, quiche,cakes etc. with daily specials. Breakfast served until 11.30 am. Everything prepared fresh to order, Small gallery selling a lovely array of things made in the village. Supper clubs held on a few weekends during the year.

Superb little place! We had lunch, coffees and cakes, all were first rate. Went back next day for takeaway coffees and again were super. You always know you are going to get good coffee when they serve a small flat white (not a latte masquerading as a flat white which drives me crackers!). Highly recommended a visit. No kids menu but the owners were lovely and happy to make a smaller (and cheaper) kids versions for us. The carrot cake was incredible. Can't wait to return! Thanks guys, keep up the great work.

We wanted to stop off for tea and cake before our journey home and we came across signs for this along the road so decided to risk it, and so glad we did. Not only is this set in the most quaintest of villages, but it's that perfect mix of modern mixed with traditional. Friendly staff and gorgeous cakes that looked like they were baked from fresh. My cake was really unique in flavour, and attention to detail on my husbands cake with the edible flower and gold shimmer was fab. My only gripe (and it's a small one), was that we were charged for the sachets of sugar that we used in our drinks, which is a first for us. I'm assuming it may have something to do with the sugar tax, but was a little shock to the system for us. Would still definitely recommend though for any passer-bys. Looked like a really nice village to take a walk around too.

We called in for a drink & ended up having some flapjack with chocolate drizzled over the top. Nice place for refreshments and worth visiting

First visit since before the pandemic and first with the current team. Everything was absolutely spot on. Food well cooked, coffee first rate and welcome friendly. Will certainly be returning. Good work team.

We visited this pretty little cafe as we're staying in Lockton. Coffee was delicious so went back for breakfast. The food was also very good with excellent friendly service. It's clearly popular with locals. Definitely worth trying

Little gem of a tea room serving beautiful home made cakes and meals, love it here. Scones were fab but we’ve also previously had afternoon tea here and that was beautiful too.

Called in for coffee and cake while waiting for a friend to finish their trip on the NYR. Really good coffee and delicious cakes.

Popped in on the way back to Whitby. I'd forgotten just how good this place is. Two scrumptious cakes and the best coffee I've had for years. It's a beautiful little cafe that also sells lovely crafts, candles, paintings, etc in a bucolic setting. A hidden gem that's well worth making the short detour for.

Stopped in for coffee after a walk on the moors, but ended up having lunch (tasty quiche and toasties) and couldn’t resist the amazing looking cakes! Hard to choose but had Chocolate Guinness cake and freshly brought out chocolate cherry cake which were spectacular. And the huge portions meant we had to go on another hike afterwards!

We liked it so much we visited for breakfast lunch and afternoon tea! Not on the same day I should add, we were staying in a cottage in nearby Levisham.Their menu is reasonably narrow but they concentrate on doing what they do do extremely well.The service is friendly and relaxed (in a non rush way).I believe the current owners have been here since May 2021 - so look at reviews since then.

What a beautiful location and delicious cakes and drinks.. also can’t thank you enough for removing the tick in my husband’s leg! Can’t wait to visit again, thanks so much x

Had a run out to Lockton Tea Rooms for lunch. We were not disappointed. Lovely setting and the food was great. I had the mushrooms on toast, my husband had the ham and gruyere cheese toastie. I had a latte and he had a cappuccino. We couldn’t resist a cake to finish. We both had the lemon curd and raspberry sponge cake. Friendly service. Definitely recommend and cannot wait to visit again.

We visited this tea room and gallery after visiting manic Whitby, it was the pit stop we needed fab cakes and great Yorkshire tea, there is also a gallery which was great too, we’ll defn be back a little gem!

This is exactly what I would expect from a Yorkshire tea room. A good choice of savoury snacks, a wonderful array of home baked cakes and a good selection of hot and cold drinks. The two guys that run it are efficient and very friendly. Tables inside and out in a perfect location in a pretty village. Loved it.

We arrived here via a friend’s recommendation. We were not disappointed. Lovely friendly staff, scrupulously clean, extensive snack menu. Our food was cooked to perfection. Great craft ales too. Highly recommended. We will be back.

Excellent in all aspects. Well signed from the road, warm friendly welcome, excellent friendly service. Good range of eats on the Menu. Fantastic food. Highly recommended, not too be missed.

We were delighted to come across this lovely tea room. Everything was perfect, the location in a very pretty village just off the Pickering to Whitby road, the clean and modern decor, the fabulous cakes and the lovely owners!

Stopped off on the way through for a coffee and cake. The home baked cakes were delicious and guys that run the place were so lovely and welcoming.

What a lovely little tea room/ coffee shop.Nice to have a pot of tea each and to be asked if we wanted it topped up with water. the cakes were delicious and the surroundings lovely, would definitely recommend this little gem in the heart of the Yorkshire moors.

We were in need a spot of lunch on the way to Goathland on A169, saw a sign for this tea room so pulled of the road, boy we we pleased we did. Superb find, couldn’t believe our luck. We sat outside as it was a gorgeous day, the guys were so attentive, great menu, we settled on Yorkshire cheese on toast which was yummy and an egg and sandwich, the bread was so fresh and so much delicious filling along proper loose leaf tea! We were stuffed but very happy. Excellent prices too, such good value. The array of cakes inside was stunning, shame we could manage one. Extra bonus -fabulous posh loos! Well done guys

I visited Lockton Tea Room and Gallery for afternoon tea with my family and it was, without a doubt, the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had! The selection of sandwiches was perfect and there was a fantastic variety of cakes, all of which were delicious (especially the brownie!). The owners were very friendly and attentive, and one was especially jolly. I also sampled one of the cheese and wild garlic scones which, again, was probably the best I’ve ever had.Overall - excellent service, faultless food, relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff . A perfect location for a ramble on the moors. 11 out of 10!

Went to these amazing tea rooms and had afternoon tea. Real tea served, very generous portions, meringue light as a feather filled with different creams, beautiful scone, fabulous selection of finger sandwiches. Mini Victoria sandwich, and brownies to die for. Michael and Andrew, who have recently taken on these tea rooms we heard are the ultimate in ensuring you feel special. They came to greet us and introduced us as well to their mum who helps out. You just have to go here.

Recently refurbished and new owners, much improved and worthy of 5 stars all the cakes are to die for particularly the Guinness and chocolate .

Highly recommended. Delicious coffee, yummy selection of cakes, dog friendly and really welcoming staff. Great place for a pause and a drink.

My sister and I popped in on 14th May for a takeaway lunch. This was our first visit since the new owners. We often used the tea rooms under the previous owners and the cakes and food were amazing so the bar was set high! First impressions were fab, lovely decor, warm friendly welcome and incredible looking homemade cakes on display! We ordered a quiche, a ciabatta, rhubarb and custard crumble cakes and a gf chocolate slice. Lovely to see eco friendly packaging, no plastic at all. The food was amazing, every bite. The cakes were the lightest we have ever tasted. Absolutely superb experience and we would highly recommend!

Nice little tearoom in Lockton. Amazing homemade cakes and lunches! Plenty to choose from on the menu for food and drinks. Clean high quality toilet. Friendly helpful staff that know what they're doing! Would definitely recommend. And dog bowl for dog users. Small car park for 2 cars but plenty of road space.

A fantastic welcome on a rainy day and a wonderful array of cakes. Chose tea and sticky toffee banana loaf and it was delicious! Thank you!

What a wonderful evening last night in the supper club. Thoroughly pleasant and intimate hosting from Michael and Andrew (and mum) for what might be the first effort of ownership. Ok, did have to wait a little while for food to come out but perfectly acceptable in such pleasant surroundings. Food was excellently prepared and very tasty. Slightly anxious at posting too good a review since would like to go back and don't want too many people booking!!Great cocktail to start with, can we get some craft bottled beer in please?Good luck in your endeavour.M&P

We were driving from Thornton Le Dale to Whitby for a day trip during a weekend getaway when we spotted the sign for the tea room so took a little detour... and what a great decision! We were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff. The food (Eggs Royale) was delicious and the homemade gooey brownie was superb!! We re-visited the following day we had enjoyed our experience so much. We would highly recommend and when we visit the area again we will pop in for a Yorkshire tea and a gooey chocolate brownie!!

We were looking for somewhere to eat our picnic, due to pandemic, not many places able to open so we packed our own lunch. We drove through Lockton and found a couple of spaces outside a tea room. After getting out and checking it was closed (would have bought something from them if it had been open) we thought we'd eat our lunch. No sooner had we opened a sandwich the owner banged on our window, when we opened it he insisted we move and park on the road as it was private parking. Obviously he'd not gone to public relations and marketing school. We packed up and drove out and sat opposite his private parking and ate our lunch, took all of ten minutes but it has done his business no good at all. We are in difficult times and people need to show a little kindness which this man was severely lacking. We won't visit his place when it is open and have told many friends about this. We are fairly local to this place so is attitude will have lost him business

Absolutely gorgeous cakes, good coffee and friendly staff - would highly recommend! What a lovely place!

We visited the tea rooms on a wet afternoon we had tea a portion of raspberry cake , freshly made & a cheese scone both were excellent.The owner was very friendly we chatted about the village as i used to visit many years ago when i used to take part in horse riding across the moors. Will visit again when in the area.Some lovely gift items to look at.

Hidden away just off the A170, lovely village location, friendly staff. prices on par, taste again all very good, its nothing "special" just a good traditional tea room, with Art ! Recommended

Have visited this cafe a couple of times for a cuppa and cake which has been lovely. Warm welcome and in a lovely quiet little village.

Stopped by after a walk from Levisham to the Hole of Horcum. Such a great find - great coffee, proper scone, lovely host and a real community atmosphere. Some fantastic art to look at too.

We popped in for tea and cakes on a walk which took in in Staindale (Dalby Forest) and Bridestones Moor. Really good home made cakes. There is a limited breakfast and lunch menu and also regular Saturday evening bistro evenings. This place is well worth supporting.

We received a friendly warm welcome even though they had officially closed for the night. The best hot chocolate I have had when out and about a lovely big piece of strawberry cake. Strongly recommend.

Lovely cafe bistro.. only had cake and coffee but will be back for their evening menu .. wide loved the artwork too

Lovely food and a warm welcome. The chocolate orange cheesecake was awesome! Even in such a tiny village it was buzzing with local residents popping in and out all the time.We sat on the sofas rather than the tables and chatted with a very friendly local farmer who kept us entertained to such an extent we lost track of time!

Such a great little cafe in lovely surroundings. Fantastic food and good value for money. Would highly recommend to anymore passing though or staying near by

Having an affection for the area when I pop up from London, I was delighted to find this gem. Having been many times, I can safely say that a visit to the tea rooms is an utter treat. The cakes are moreish, the coffee is perfect and the welcome is heavenly. In summer, what can be more of a delight than sitting outside, enjoying a a sandwich. Tip: the Eggs Benedict is superb. In winter, perhaps some wholesome soup. The cafe has a vibrant feel, a connection to craft and the beating heart of rural Yorkshire. What is not to like.

Lovely food, lovely people well worth a visit . Interesting local artwork too . Warm friendly atmosphere .

We booked a table for four of us, including our 6 year old, plus 2 dogs for afternoon tea after a circular walk from the village. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was delicious. The gallery pieces are a lovely addition to the cafe too. Friendly staff made us want to return the next time we are up that way.

Fantastic afternoon tea and proper food, caters for all people whether walking, by car or locals. Definatly worth a trip out

A bit late this review but a friend and I went at the end of October and had an absolutely delicious lunch and coffee, including beetroot soup with beetroot from the chef’s own allotment. It’s a really friendly place and we both enjoyed it. We will definitely return in the spring.

We were recommended this place so thought we would try it out and we have now been coming here for some time. Its a delightful cosy tearoom with the most delicious looking cakes (have yet to try them). We called mid morning and between us had a cheese scone, a round of toast and the most delicious cheese on toast. The coffee is also excellent. The lady that serves (the owner I think) is lovely and the food is well presented and tasty. Well worth a visit.

Lovely place on a cold winters day the fire and comfy furniture and very kind staff make it worth a visit. The cakes and scones are yummy,just ignore the calories involved///

The only thing I can say is we went off the main Whitby road to visit after seeing a road side sign .drove there to find it closed

We called here for tea and cake after a walk in the North Yorkshire Moors. We were close to closing time but we’re made welcome with delicious cakes and teas and coffee and were not rushed to be out the door so they could close.

This is a pleasant enough tea room. The decor is pleasant and there is the choice of an outside seat, There was nothing special about the tea and coffee. There is a relatively limited lunchtime nenu, which gave good portions....i would have prefered smaller portions at a better price. Overall,a nice place to have a reasonable lunch....but nothing to write home about either.

Stopped off here on the way home from walking at the Hole of Horcum, glad we did a lovely little gem. We sat outside watching the ducks while eating nice home made cake and drinking good coffee too.

It's not just the great food, it's the warm welcome and being remembered from previous visits. It's the funny conversation trying to book the meal in advance and it's the knowledge that you will be able to go back for lunch or tea soon.

Booked a table for 4 and took our new neighbours for a meal at Tags .

A friendly welcome followed by beautifully cooked food. A nice relaxed atmosphere with pleasant surroundings.

Saturday night bistro dinner absolutely wonderful! Delicious food, friendly hosts and relaxed atmosphere made for a thoroughly enjoyable evening! Highly recommendable.

Whether it’s tea and scones or cake, lunch or the innovative TAGS Bistro Supper Club, you won’t be disappointed. By far the best in the area and consistently good. Make a detour, drag friends and family there (they’ll certainly return!) or just go along yourself. The temptation is to keep it secret, but Janilaine and Kev deserve us being honest and spreading the word. What an asset to the area., not just the food but the general ambience.

Perfect, friendly and very welcoming cafe just what you need after a lovely walk in nearby Levisham. We had cake and tea..... the cakes welcomed you on display as you entered and tasted as good as they looked. The food being served looked to a high standard. We would most definitely recommend and will visit again when in the area.

Had a wonderful lunch followed by homemade cake and cappuccino, couldn't fault it, friendly , welcoming and in a lovely village, will definitely become a regular venue!

Had a delicious snack and cuppa at this delightful little place in Lockton. Friendly service and some beautiful artwork/craft for sale there too. Really enjoyed sitting at the tables outside after a ramble on the Moors.

Once again we have a friendly owner who does all herself. We had a flat white coffee and some cake that my wife and I shared, all home made. Lockton is a pretty little place and the people around and about are very friendly as we found out when we sat outside and chatted to the passers by. There are soime seats inside as well. Off the beaten track but worth looking for off the Pickering to Whitby A169.

Paramos aquí para un tiempo de cierre casi tarde 'taza y pastel, en nuestro camino a la herradura Inn, a lo largo de la carretera.

Es un placer inesperado. Té/café y comida todo por encima de las expectativas y el personal era excepcionalmente servicial y amable. Haga el esfuerzo de ir allí. Hospitalidad Real yorkshire!

Had afternoon here today. What an amazing experience. The food was delicious and well presented. The owners were extremely attentive and welcoming. I have had numerous afternoon teas in the UK and abroad and this experience was the best ever.

The chef/owner continues to prepare lovely meals, light snacks and delicious cakes using local ingredients whenever possible. A friendly welcome, remembering us fron our last visits in September last year was a very pleasant scenario. Another visit, for sure, when we are next heading to the NY Moors.Care with opening hours Thursday to Sunday with special Bistro evenings on a Saturday.

Lovely relaxing place to call in and enjoy a delicious bite to eat. We had tea, lovely bacon sandwiches and scones with jam and cream. Very enjoyable sitting outside in the sunshine.

At lockton tea rooms as it was signed from main pickering whitby Rd. Very genuinely sociable owners. Nice and clean. Very clean loo. One of the best scones. Preserve. And cream I have had. Excellent value. Will definitely call again as I pass lockton road end frequently

A good stop for a cup of tea on a local walk. Pleasant seating both inside and out. Good and healthy menu. Cakes looked very appetising.

Friendly service, lovely atmosphere and good to be able to sit outside. The cakes were delicious and it was great that there were two gluten free options available. There was a group of 9 of us so we tried most of them between us and everyone was very happy with their choice.

I was up in Lockton doing DIY with a friend next door to this tea room. We were welcomed by a lovely wood burning stove, friendly owners, and gorgeous home-made food. What a delight in a gorgeous village setting. This is what village life is about.

We went there as part of a large group staying at the Youth Hostel, I found the fresh food both reasonably priced and well cooked and presented . Service was great, interested but not hurried, food was hot and tasty. We will definitely be returning as this is close to lots of our favourite cycling , walking and trail running routes. Good luck to them they've created a great place for food and I hope they are very successful.

Whilst staying in Lockton we wanted a quick breakfast our our way out for the day. The tea rooms was warm, comforting and very welcoming on a chilly morning. The bacon sandwiches were delicious and the owners attentive. Perfect!

Had a wonderful meal at Lockton Tearoom Tuesday Supper Club. We hit it lucky in that our stay in Lockton coincided with this monthly event. We had goulash which was cooked to perfection, beef topped with celeriac mash, followed by Spotted Dick and custard. We got a warm welcome from the hostess and enjoyed a cosy evening and left feeling totally satisfied.

We stopped for lunch here on the way up to Whitby. It's small but we had no trouble getting a table. The food was lovely and the selection of cakes was especially good. We all had a different cake for pudding and I have to say everyone was absolutely delicious.

Nice cosy cafe in winter, nice grassy outside area to sit if you want to enjoy the sun. Been here a few times and always enjoyed the tea and cakes on offer. Nice and friendly with good homemade cakes.

This isn't a large place and has a country kitchen feel to it which makes for a cosy and pleasant atmosphere. The food is delicious and home cooked. It's great if you are walking in the area or as it's just off the main road good for a stop on the way to/ from the coast. It's dog friendly and has some nice vegetarian options. The owners greeted us with a friendly smile and were helpful with local knowledge, they are happy to refill water bottles for walkers. This seems to be the kind of place where you end up talking to the people at the next table and swapping ideas about places they'd recommend and telling them where you'd advise! Thoroughly worth a visit, such a relaxed friendly place with great food.

In retracing our steps to Levisham visited some years ago we aspyed these tea rooms which had not existed way back then. The tea rooms are an eclectic mix of tables and chairs which when combined with the art works around go very well together. We found out that almost everything was home made including the salad dressings and jams. The cakes were to die for making choice difficult. The chosen Hummingbird sponge was delicious as was my home made Soup and home cooked ham sandwich. It was a warm welcome from the two lovely owners and our only disappointment is that we are unable to revisit as we head off home tomorrow. A definite revisit the next time we pass this away. A real treasure which we hope will enjoy great success from visitors and residents alike.

Lockton tea rooms are an excellent place to stop and have a break, with great food and brilliant hosts. If you want a nice relaxing break, with cakes to die for this is the place to visit.

Discovered this wonderful tearoom whilst staying in the village. Lockton is so lucky to have such a welcoming and superb tearoom. The cakes look amazing when you walk into the tearoom. I had a ploughman's lunch, creamed mushrooms on toast, ham sandwiches on different days and it as all of high quality and creatively presented. Just loved the friendly atmosphere and locally knitted tea cosies on the teapots. I bought one to remind me of this lovely tearoom in Lockton. My only regret is that I don't live closer. However, I will certainly return again soon to see the finished accommodation upstairs and sample more of the delicious dishes on offer on their menu.

Lovely homely welcome Owners very friendly and offer a super venue for relaxing lunch All the food is home cooked on site.Dessert and cakes are well worth the journey

We called here for a drink (and a cake!) while walking in the area, having had the place recommended to us by our B&B hosts in Goathland. Chatting to the owner, it's clear that they are very much in the throes of sorting the premises out from their previously neglected state but already they are providing a friendly, high quality service in the tea rooms, where we were made to feel very welcome. Unfortunately, the village idyll was spoiled on the day by the heavy machinery resurfacing the road outside the premises but no doubt when this has all been done, the peace will be restored and the tea rooms will be returned to its normal quiet setting for people to enjoy and watch the world go by.
