Lord Stones Country Park in Hambleton

I would highly recommend taking a trip to lord stones . The food was delicious. The staff were great. Especially Adam. Nothing was too much for him. He was friendly, professional. Definitely an assett to them!!!!

Enjoyed a delightful breakfast time visit albeit we had small snacks. This place has a magical atmosphere especially this time of the year (Christmas) Visited with my brother who was in need of a special treat at the moment. He loved it and said his scone was ‘OUT OF THIS WORLD’ just what the doctor ordered! The staff were exceptionally friendly especially Lauren who is a tremendous asset to this fine establishment.

They often close half an hour before their advertised closing time, or 50 minutes as last Sunday, people turn up every Weekend only to be turned away after driving miles, because; " We've been too busy" or "We've been too quiet " It's ridiculous, either stick to your advertised hours or change them.

I presume this is the same as the excellent Lord Stones cafe which is a superb starting / finish point for a trick in this wonderful corner of the Moors including the incredible vistas atop Cringle End. Good food, excellent coffee, nice ambience and excellent service.

Just back from two nights away , there were 9 of us in total . Three pods and one round house . Cannot fault the accommodation, an enjoyable experience. The problem came as the kitchen had a fault on Friday early evening. No hot food was available . We were reassured that the problem would be rectified the following morning . Unfortunately it was not . No incline that the evening meals would also be out of action My issue is we were not your normal campers and had booked with the intention of eating in the restaurant and that's why we booked . We did not go equipped to cook on the barbecues. If we had been informed earlier in the day we could of purchased items for the barbecue . On turning up to eat we were only greeted by a message on the door informing all that the kitchen was closed. I feel the establishment could of maybe offered a barbecue alternative as they have the facilities to cook outdoors in front of the restaurant in a lovely covered in area.. All the local pubs, restaurants( within driving distance ) were fully booked so crisps and whatever we had between us had to be consumed. I am aware this was an unforseen circumstance but a little information. Maybe a note pushed under the pods/ round house or even an email informing us would off enabled us to make alternative arrangements. Communication was non existent and unfortunately it impacted on our break away . I do not normally review , but I think it is a point that could be took forward as a company trying to build its business and look at contingency plans moving forward . Thank You

Finished a brutal 20 mile training run in preparation for the Hardmoors 55 mile race and was really hungry. Gave them a call at 12.45 Sunday lunchtime and they promised to squeeze us in. We arrived 15 minutes later and the place was rammed with the staff very busy. It was a beautiful day. To their credit we were seated promptly and in no time were supping much needed hot coffees with our roast beef arriving shortly after. Just a word on the beef, it is locally grown and a speciality cooked to perfection and melt in the mouth. You won't find a better Sunday lunch anywhere. In summary, brilliant attentive staff even on a very busy day amazing food and great hot drinks. Highly recommended.

Not worth the money. Advertised poached eggs on sourdough bread. No sourdough served came with brown bread toast. When questioned waitress said they were out of sourdough. Why was this not advised on ordering? Poached eggs like bullets. Other breakfast was a full Yorkshire. Again served without one of the advertised ingredients missing and again when queried waitress stated they had run out. Why was this not advised on ordering. Portions on the Yorkshire breakfast were small. 4 button mushrooms and a tablespoon of baked beans. Waitress asked if the meal was ok and when told no answered, “very busy morning.” Very disappointing all round.

We had a really lovely meal at the Belted Bull. I had the flat iron steak and my partner had the Picanha Rump, both cooked to perfection. The kids meals were a decent size and tasty. Service was friendly and efficient. Would recommend.

We stayed in Lordstone and decided to have a meal in the resturant. It was quiet simply the best food I have eaten in such a long time. Our only draw back was that due to covid it was only open the night night we were there (which is understandable) as we could have quiet happily eaten in there all three night. We are already planning on heading back to the resturant to try something different on the menu. We had the fillet and the beef burger and both were truly mouth watering.

Visited the Yorkshire Moore’s for a weekend during July. The experience and campsite was riddled with problems from arrival which almost certainly would deter us from staying again or recommending the campsite. Issues: 1: Upon arrival, it was unclear where to check in, upon entering the cafe the lady (who we can only imagine was the camp manger) was dismissive and unwelcoming, this nature carried on for the rest of our stay, asking questions seemed an inconvenience. 2: We were not informed that all taps were out of service on the campsite. 3: Whilst cars are allowed to be on site for unloading, they are not allowed to stay on site, this was not made clear during booking. Respectfully, this was more of an inconvenience for us due to a small tent. 4: The pitches are small and unclear in terms of spacing, apart from being told you can pitch to the right of your designated post. As a result you are very close to other tents which can consequently be loud- especially not desirable if you have young children. 5: The cafe was expensive for quality (almost £9 for 2 small coffees and a slice of cake) and not something to write home about. The lady at the till also seemed to be dismissive and came across as quite rude, she seemed too busy doing nothing to serve. Strengths 1: The public footpaths and bridle ways are of excellent access with great views to be seen. 2: The majority of staff were friendly and helpful, maintaining COVID-19 business protocols effectively the whole time. 3: The steak from the shop is very good. 4: Toilet facilities were clean. Whilst I personally do not recommended the campsite and cafe, the walks are lovely and parking is free.

Excellent staff great service and quality food was prepared fast and tasted lovely would definitely recommend and come back and prices are fair and moderate

I visited this pub for a hearty Sunday roast after a bracing walk across the Moor. Our food was delicious, perfectly cooked beef with huge Yorkshire puddings and tasty gravy. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. I will definitely return.

We visited here recently one Friday evening. Having waited a few weeks to get the time slot we wanted we expected it to be busy. We were shown into an empty restaurant (not a good sign in my opinion) We were pounced on almost before we got sat down to ask what we wanted to drink (which I hate), food arrived, and considering the rave reviews I had read I didn't think it lived up to it. Nobody came to ask if we were satisfied (and its not as though it was busy as the full tables matched the front of house staff - 3), eventually a member of staff came and asked us if we wanted more drinks and to see the dessert menu which we did. After sitting there for approx another 15 minutes with nobody coming back we got up and went to the desk to pay. Only then did they ask if we were satisfied (which we weren't) but they were too busy checking their mobile phones and chatting to care about the customers. Doubt we will return.

Really excellent service, delicious food & drink, wonderful location. Nothing was too much trouble for our special meal.

We were 2 groups who stayed in the pods for a long w.e, the smell around there is disgusting from what i assume is the tank or drains. The staff in the bar are not very polite, we ordered drinks and she took a phone call and walked off without saying anything! rude Breakfast after we ordered they informed us they had no black pudding or mushrooms and when it arrived they didn't add anything to compensate when we still paid full price, when we asked the waitress seem surprised we asked about it? Also no full veggie breakfast and why arn't dogs allowed in the cafe for such a place Nobody in the shop to pass comments onto when we checked out and also although we were in a 4 birth pod we were charged a extra £15 for a second set of bedding. Nice location but needs to improve before i go back

Have not been to Lordstones for a while so after a nice moorland walk thought we would drop in. We wish we had not bothered, the milk was off & floated on top of our tea which we pointed out to the staff but were told "the milk was fresh that day & was a little fatty". We also had a bacon bun each which was average not up to the standard they used to be. We spend most of our time eating out at restaurants cafe's etc but will not be returning here for sour milk & poor staff. This is the first time in years I have not left a tip at home or abroad. My tip to all is avoid this place they need to get back the values they used to have.

Arrived Friday afternoon for a 2 night stay in one of the yurts. Nice greeting and found the place tidy and clean. Had a very nice dinner at the resteraunt on Friday night. Then off to the yurt again. As it was now getting darker tried to turn on all lights and found the fairy lights not working so a little dissapointed. Not wanting to walk back to resteraunt did not report. Put down sofa bed (which is actually a rather uncomftable futon) and found a used pillow case behind it. They need to make sure cleaners are checking behind/under things and checking fixtures before each guest. So Saturday morning no hand towel working in toilet block. Also no one had emptied bins on campsite so they were getting rather full Saturday night a lordstones bbq.. the bbq itself was lovely and the live band amazing. However the campsite was booked way over capacity for the facilities and camping block toilets opened for all during event 3 toilets only. This meant on leaving the event having to go make them aware of no toilet roll in the loos. They made no cleaning of the loos that night. Coming down to the loos Sunday morning and they had still not been cleaned and restocked with paper! Went to use facilities inside bar and told them no loo roll. So lady closed the shop where lots of people were waiting for drinks to go restock. Restocked loo roll but still no cleaning! Overall if you are going to have an event of that size the toilet block should be checked straight after event and restocked and should have been cleaned first thing in the morning ready for the campers use. By Sunday morning the bins both in the campsite and around the toilet block were overflowing. Other than these issues I found the site very nice and staff friendly but to hold big events you have work to do

My wife and I have visited Lordstones cafe on several occasions and over the years have found it a pleasant experience. We decided to call for lunch today, and we unfortunately agree with some of the comments left regarding the attitude of some members of staff. Whilst eating lunch we heard a member of staff sat behind us use foul language. We didn't feel to be made welcome. The food was ok, my wife had the ham sandwich which was very nice. However my steak sandwich was lacking steak! When we paid the bill the lady asked if everything was ok and I mentioned that the ratio of steak to bread meant that I was unable to hardly taste the steak. She made no apology, just saying she would mention it to the kitchen. Her attitude made us think criticism was not liked, but why ask if all is ok if you don't want an honest reply! Won't be returning in a hurry.

From Leicester My first visit, my cousin who lives local has been many time, made to feel welcome given time to order, had belted bull burger when it came very well presented tasted superb a great meal and excellent service, looking forward to visit again in June

We came here after many months of meaning to book. We weren’t disappointed. Beautiful setting, staff welcoming and very attentive. And the food....WOW! Great starters (mussels and prawns) followed by the best Belted Galloway fillet steaks and sides. Fillet steaks were full of meaty flavour, and the sides also cooked to perfection. Generous portions! Just delicious. Best in the whole area and highly recommended.

We meet up once a month for lunch and we decided to try the cafe at Lordstones Lovely setting A beautiful smart building The food and coffee were very good as was the service Immaculate toilets The farm shop is a delightful add on Excellent belted cattle meat on sale

Called here yesterday whilst walking on North Yorkshire Moors. Food ok but the greeting was shocking. Made to feel as if we were a nuisance. This is a haven for walkers, but clearly not welcome.

We recently had a bite to eat here and all chose the burger which was excellent, two burgers in a a wholemeal bun topped with bacon, cheese and salad . Superb choice, unfortunately the chips which accompanied the burger were overcooked and Tasted purely of overused cooking oil

The food here was amazing, steak perfectly cooked and generous side dishes, lovely atmosphere with candles and music and wonderful waitress, overall glad our first choice was closed as we got to enjoy an even better meal here!

We saw the sign when driving by so did a u-turn. We had a light lunch and found it very satisfactory. We sat outside in the sun which was very pleasant. The service was good. The washroom and facilities was very clean.

Out cycling and called in for a cup of tea and found but the cup and milk jug were stained quite badly

We had a family lunch on 2 occasions over the Easter holidays. Both excellent. Good value, tasty local food.

After a lovely 2 hours spent walking over the hills we planned to visit the cafe for a breakfast. Out of courtesy we popped back to the car first to change our muddy boots and then waited at the bar for a little while to be directed to a seat or handed a menu. We found breakfast menus on the bar and noticed the lady behind the bar handing them out so we grabbed one and asked if we needed to order at the bar. We were told no and that our order would he taken at the table. There was nothing on the breakfast menu to say when they stopped serving and given that breakfast menus were being handed out we assumed it must still be on. After a little while the waiter came over and asked what we would like and we asked for 2 full English breakfasts, only to be told that they stop serving breakfasts at 11 and they were only doing sausage or bacon sandwiches. We pointed out that we had sat down before 11 and were waiting for our order to be taken but were told again that breakfasts stop at 11. It was 11.03am. A sausage sandwich costs £4.50 which seems fairly steep so we decided not to bother and to go to Sam Turners instead! I get that they need to prepare for Sunday lunches but why not tell customers that when handing out breakfast menus... and if the waiter had come over 3 minutes earlier we'd have gotten our breakfasts. Won't be returning!

Had sausage sandwiches in morning, excellent. Lovely bread and locally sourced sausages, tasted excellent though maybe slightly dear at £4.50. My son spilt his drink over his, staff soon cleaned up & replaced everything for him. Service with a smile from staff, very polite & helpful.

Eaten at this restaurant several times - its never busy and very often cold .... last night there were about 6 other people in the restaurant when we arrived and although it felt warm on arrival, bring a thick cardi or scarf because it really isn't very warm ever. Poor lighting - there is romantic and there is "what am I eating?" light.

7.30pm booking... bread for starter and food arrived at 8.40pm... apparently busy with a table of 4 before us. Food was lovely.... when it eventually arrived. Young waitress didn't appreciate my friends questions as to why it took so long and was obviously rude in serving after the query. Customer service skills required. Well done fillet steak shouldn't take more than 15 mins. Won't be visiting again. Just to clarify... there were 2 parties in the place... 4 of us and another 4... shocking!

Went sledging today up Carlton bank. Weather conditions got hairy so took our 3 kids into the restaurant for hot drinks and something light as we were having a Sunday dinner with family later on. Were seated at 2pm. Asked waiter for a high chair whilst juggling wet coats, scarves, an 8 yr old, 2 yr old and a baby. He brought it over and left it next to the table not properly assembled (think he knew this but couldnt be bothered to faff about with it so left me to do it myself). Drink orders took straight away and arrived after a short wait. We then ordered one soup and sandwich to share between the kids. After a 25 min wait from ordering the food we decided enough was enough and that we would leave. As I was getting coats etc, waiter asked "did your soup arrive?" I said no but that we had waited too long and were leaving. He then said "it is coming now" and pointed to the kitchen. (If he knew that, why ask if our food had come?) We then went to pay. Waitress tried to charge my husband for the food aswell. He explained and paid for the drinks only. She was apologetic but not enough to knock some money off the drinks bill (£12 for a coffee and 3 hot chocolates). I complained about the poor service last time too. Could be nice as food, location, decor etc are good. They need to pay a bit more to get decent staff in. Oh and there were several staff in and we were one of two parties in the restaurant on this visit. No excuse really. Joke.

Who on earth is giving this delightful restaurant any less than 5-stars??? They must be from another planet! I first visited this rustic little hideaway a few years ago and must admit that I wasn't blown away. But things have clearly drastically changed for the better recently. The restaurant is cosy and dripping in natural oak fittings and furniture, and the staff are friendly and approachable. Oh, and did I forget to mention the food? - Top class restaurant quality, served swiftly and without a fuss. Please try to ignore the odd negative review that some mean-spirited souls have posted on Tripadvisor. The Lordstones is well worth the drive!

Stopped off for a mid morning cup of tea and coffee, we had toasted tea cake which was nice and a cheese scone which was very disappointing seemed a couple of days old certainly not freshly baked. Very modern plush seating area with pleasant staff, reasonably priced with added extra of an adjoining shop. One downside for walkers is that dogs are not allowed inside.

Called in as we passed, we had heard good reports so decided to give it a go.

Had to sit outside as won't allow dogs in - hot drinks when brought out were not hot - rather disappointing - would at least expect to be able to sit inside as it is in the middle of nowhere won't be going again in a hurry!

Situated just off the trail for the Coast to Coast walk Lord Stones is a good place for travelers to stop for something to eat either inside or on the large seating area outside.

We all enjoyed an excellent evening meal in this lovely restaurant. Some of the group started with the most delicious raspberry and gin cocktails. Steaks were chosen from the extensive menu and were superb and cooked to perfection. We finished with a couple of desserts to share and coffees. The wine was great too and the Pinotage went perfectly with the steak.

Had a drive out taking in the wonderful views . Arrived at 12.30 and already the outside seating was really busy. A really nice and chatty young girl came and found us a roomy table with space for a wheelchair . She then brought the very interesting menu and took our drinks order . As we were dining out on the evening we only had light snacks , various sandwiches and scones all were really tasty . The atmosphere was great and the shop was full of really unusual items . We will be back soon to try the main menu .

Not just organic, this is the single cask of steak. Amazing value for money, shame it is not open more evnings through the week as I would take business guests more often.

Visited for Sunday lunch with my husband, parents and 18 month old grandson. I ordered drinks at the bar along with four Sunday lunches. My grandson is gluten and dairy free so I explained and asked if he could just have a couple of potatoes and a few carrots. I explained I had a flask with his 'special' gravy with me and that I would be happy, of course, to pay the full child's menu price. The girl who took the order frowned and said she would need to check with the kitchen . When she returned she said no, we can't do that. I asked why ever not, as these items were clearly on the Sunday lunch menu. She simply refused and would give no explanation, needless to say, left with no other option, we left feeling very annoyed and went in search of a more sympathetic eatery. Luckily we stumbled across the Black Ox in Carlton village who served us a superb Sunday lunch. They gave my grandson a medley of beautifully prepared vegetables and even offered to make some gluten free gravy. What a contrast to Lord Stones - shame on you!!

Website, phone call and menu all confirmed food served until 5pm. Arrived at 4.20pm to be told they finished serving at 4pm. Cake and coffee available... or cold pie from shop next door. Very disappointing.

over priced very poor food.really need to improve food.had fish cakes.two balls came still don't know what was in them.chips that you could get in mcdonalds.total rubbish meal.

Esto hace que un impulso de 5 de 5 o la ubicación en la costa de paseo por la costa. Había estado lloviendo y a pesar de las maravillosas vistas al oeste de aquí, yo podía sentir el agua en mis botas de acallar hasta el tobillo haciendo la difícil. El Toro al este de ubicación remota era fantástico. Pude dejar mi ropa húmeda en el hall de entrada y conseguir algo de comida seca mientras comer bien y tener una pinta muy agradable antes de empezar la siguiente sección de la caminata al principio de arcilla en ropa seca.

El servicio fue rápido, amable y eficiente. Por desgracia, los bollos eran planas, recocido y seco. No son prácticas tronas Graco, hija mantienen puertas abajo, incluso cuando el cinturón. No quejarse cuando pagar pero no de descuento = (caro por mala calidad. Si tuviera que ellos horneados hubiera sido avergonzarse de ellos dado. . . A ALGUIEN. mucho menos hacer pagar por ellos!

Bueno, este lugar simplemente apareció, un poco como el Brigadoon de la niebla en húmedo y brumoso Junio día fuertemente. . Increíblemente. Es un lugar fabuloso para dejar tu coche o reunirse con alguien, ya que es realmente absolutamente nada más por aquí.

Llamado para un ayer hay un bollo y taza. (Mi marido había encontrado este lugar en uno de sus paseos en mbike recientemente) en Yorkshire

Parked up at the Lordstones to walk along the cleveland way. Ample parking, but it can get very busy! The cakes and scones are delicious and staff are always very friendly!

Well what a view from the stones. Do t miss this place. A breath of fresh air hits you as you stand looking over the incredible English landscape. The food in the cafe is spot on and the service is excellent

Disfrutar de un agradable paseo a lo largo de parte de la ciudad de Cleveland. Camino al valle que alcanza hasta el Mar del Norte

Llamé a Lord piedras para el desayuno esta mañana y fue excelente en todos los sentidos. El personal era acogedor y amable, pero no el último, el lugar en sí estaba impecable y la comida era estupenda. Al inglés que no era la muerte sino más bien fritos a la parrilla así como todos los componentes de su sabor, era precioso.

País Lordstones Park es una gran finca con una tienda de granja, cafetería, restaurante y experto en glamping. Experto en Glamping glamour es un híbrido que significa la palabra camping.

Domingo almuerzo hoy aquí. Yorkshire pudding de carne asada y carne de buena calidad., budines caseros y muy buena selección de verduras, me gustó especialmente el puerros en salsa de crema.

Reservamos las vainas amable 2 perro por 2 noches.

No hay un menú grande, pero lo que está en el menú está muy bien preparada y presentada. La mujer y yo el sandwich juego y fue cocinado bien hecho y tamaño. Los paseos y el campo alrededor son impresionantes, con 1 horas de caminata fácil a más tiempo más difícil

Me and my friends came here at the weekend and we had a fantastic stay! The place itself was beautiful. We booked to stay in a luxury glamping pod and it was great! We had a BBQ, a fire, double bed, double sofa bed, toilet, sink, fridge, table and chairs ... Everything we needed really! We had such a good weekend and would definitely return again

La última vez que visitamos el café hace más de una década y ha habido una gran cantidad de desarrollo desde entonces. Este es un negocio muy bien pensado. Las yurtas parecen ser una buena diversión con verdaderas camas dobles en. Las vainas Experto en Glamping aspecto limpio y bien cuidado con todo lo esencial y se encuentra en una zona bastante aislada.

Mi novio y yo nos alojamos la noche del domingo para celebrar nuestro aniversario. Las vainas son bastante básicas pero ninguno menos limpio y ordenado. La vaina estaba situado mirando a un estanque que estaba un toque encantador. Los alrededores eran tranquilos y pintorescos. Tuvimos una barbacoa en la noche, que era preciosa y tenía sin interrupciones durante toda nuestra estancia. Sin embargo, tengo que afirmar que el colchón en las vainas era posiblemente la cosa más incómoda que he dormido tanto mi novio y yo tuvimos un mal en la mañana y sólo en 20 de estos vendría con la clasificación. Además, hubiera sido bueno tener instalado relación/lavaplatos líquido en las vainas además de té y café condimentos como la mayoría de sitios para acampar sólo estas son el tipo de cosas que no traigan para una estancia de una noche. Pero en general, una estancia encantadora y sin duda volveríamos si el colchón estaba cambiado.

No he visitado el café, ya que el sitio ha cambiado de manos, sin embargo los paseos son increíbles y los caminos están todavía muy bien conservados. Se puede ver por millas cuando estás en la cima. No hay problema con el aparcamiento incluso cuando estaban ocupados también, muy bien dirigido.

¡Qué bien organizado y limpio el lugar. Piedras lord es una delicia. Buen personal entusiasta. Claire en la tienda es impresionante. Senderos y rutas principales son a través de la página web y en las zonas de los alrededores. Caminatas y nuestro paseo nocturno nos preparó un wild ciervo pastoreando en la luna. Impresionantes vistas desde la cima y Ridge. Quemadores de madera en la yurta, pero traeré mi propia madera la próxima vez. Es un poco caro para comprar allí. Ducha es segura y limpia. Un lugar fantástico para una aventura en familia, y una o dos noches bajo de proselitismo, Experto en Glamping en mejores

After a lovely rainy Bank Holiday Monday walk we came in for lunch. The menu is limited and inflexible. Our son wanted a 'cheese burger' the waitress could only accommodate this if we bought the adult burger and stripped it if bacon and onions , at £5.00 more expensive . We were told the children's burger was plain and as the "don't do crappy cheese" ( yes that's what the waitress actually said in front of my two children) they couldn't add cheese to the children's burger. ( not sure why they couldn't add whatever 'none crappy cheese' used on the adult burger on it ?? ) . My other son asked for a panini , again they couldn't accommodate his unusual request of cheese & ham as the panini of the day was salami and rocket. Again I'm slightly bemused as they serve ham sandwiches so they had the ingredients available. Real shame and I'm still astounded that the waitress used the word 'crappy' very unprofessional !

Came here to stay in one of the pods, we checked in around 3pm had a walk about some great views North Yorkshire moors. The pod was good had a bench and a BBQ outside that we fired up for tea. We had our little 3 year old with us and we soon realised the place wasn't really for children of that age and he started getting a little bored. The problem for us was there was no signal where the pods are situated so we could stream any music. Our fault really though should have come more prepared. We where at a loose end by 7pm and the little one started getting a bit whingy. With no Tv or internet connection we were struggling so we ended up not staying and driving back home. It's a nice place but it won't be to everyone's liking , I would say it's more for ramblers and people who want to be cut off from the outside world for a day or 2.

Another very pleasant visit to catch up with friends. Bacon or sausage sandwiches with sides of chips and lots of good cups of tea. Unfortunately the road up to Lordstones marked as closed and the diversion sign pointed up a private drive. We drove up to see if we could get as far as the café and found that the road was blocked by yellow line painters just before the car park entrance. We were given no indication as to how we could access the café so we parked - off the road - and walked on the woodland path to get there. On returning to our cars we found we had been given a parking ticket. The line had only been painted two hours earlier so this seemed to have been a deliberate ploy. Plus we were not parked on the road. Just want to warn everyone not to park on the verge up there where the new yellow lines have been put in.

Lovely setting, even better if you have time for a walk. We went for lunch this time but we have previously had breakfast at Lord Stones. Our food was fine but service was slow despite the restaurant being quiet.

Having had a beautiful scone and coffee prior to going for a walk we decided to book a table for lunch. Our table was booked for 13.15 we were seated by 13.10 and our order of roast beef and roast pork were taken relatively quickly. We then had a long wait for our food to arrive (it arrived at 14.00) with no apology for our wait. The cafe was busy but it would have been courteous to offer an apology. The food when it arrived was luke warm, the beef was so tough I had difficulty cutting it and had to leave some. The Yorkshire pudding I'm sorry to say is the worst I've ever had, it was cold, tough and the inside was a thick dough like consistency hence this also was left. My husbands pork was also a little tough but tasty. When the waitress took our plates she asked if everything was ok so I told her that the beef was extremely tough. She did apologise and returned with the bill, only for us to find we had been charged for a coffee that we hadn't ordered. Having pointed out the mistake we were offered a very insincere sounding apology. We would not hesitate to return for scones and coffee but would not return for a hot meal.

A lovely place to visit anytime of year with fabulous views and great food and drink. Thank you to a very welcoming and friendly service from all the staff and especially from Lauren. Will be back that's for sure

my partner and I stayed for one night in pod 1 for a quick break, absolutely loved the surroundings and our walk to the falconers seat. we used the BBQ for our tea and the cafe for our breakfast the night day which we really enjoyed. Lovely clean shower block. The only fault I had with my stay was I felt as though our pod had not been checked/cleaned before we arrived,the three bins provided still had rubbish in from the previous visitors the fridge had leftover milk in there and there was rubbish on the worktop. I also noticed our neighbour pod was vacant throughout or stay but stayed the way it was again left from the previous visitors (sofa bed down and rubbish inside). This won't stop me from visiting again I hope this feedback gets back to the right people to help improve future stays.

Wow, has this place expanded and gone upmarket since we were last here. We were lucky to visit on a sunny day, and so could enjoy the view from the outside tables. We both had roast beef sandwiches - mine served hot on a toasted baguette, wifey's in a normal sandwich. Wifey's was the slightly better of the two, but both were appreciated.

Decided to eat out, 20 mins up the Road, went for tempura king prawns starter, and we both had the Bacon​ Cheese Burger with fries for main meal, been promising myself a burger for a while, wasn't let down, Prawns were plenty and superb, Burgers well, my Grandson is the authority on Burgers and they both went down well. Beautifully​ prepared. Was no room for dessert unfortunately. Great place, great staff, great food. Until the next time Lordstones. Tyvm.

I have just visited Lordstones where I politely stood at the sign and waited to be seated. When the chaotic servers realised I was there I was asked "can I help you?" Like I was trespassing.After explaining that I would like a table, the server just shook her head and said "No! We can't seat you, you'll have to go somewhere else because you didn't make a reservation and it's the bank holiday, thanks, bye". Whilst smirking and shaking her head.Oh. my. God. So rude! So dismissive!She didn't even offer one of the outside tables.As I was waiting for my child to come out of toilet, the server passed and said "if you want to hang about I might be able to sit you in an hour or so...maybe".So we left. There are better, nicer places to eat.

We stopped in here for refreshment when walking a reasonably tough section of the C2C Path. It was very busy, it being Sunday on a bank holiday weekend, so we made do with just coffee to supplement our packed lunches. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of my flat white coffee, perhaps in part due to the fact that my last one was several days ago.Regardless I would recommend it to other walkers as the food looked wholesome too, although the service could probably be better.

we went for drive after seen lordstones advert in local paper, what a nice place to visitwe had scones and jam, they were the best we have had for a long time, we also visited the shop and bought two steak and ale pies, again very tasty with chunks of beef and full.with the lovley views over carlton bank worth a visit.

Wow not been up to the lords stone cafe for ever and what a change has taken place (for the better it has to be said ) . Very clean and airy inside, good service excellent food all in all well worth the trip up the bank ( even in a blizzard ) loads of parking ,so in my opinion well worth a visit.

me and my husband visited on Saturday 22nd april we ordered scone jam and cream I was totally shocked to be served clotted cream that was dated 19th april I returned it to staff who wernt that bothered and returned several minutes later to say they had no more cream so they must have been serving out of date cream for a few days not good

We were hiking coast to coast hike and stopped here for lunch... good scones with creme and jam and tea. Not too cozy but clean, friendly. Good soup too!

I have visited this cafe numerous times and have never been disappointed. The food is always delicious; the staff are very friendly and the setting is gorgeous. Taking a walk along the Cleveland way beforehand always works up a great appetite which will be easily satisfied!!

Stayed for one night after kids decided they wanted to test the tent. This is a really nice place to camp . Site is well kept with good facilities and camping is close to really nice walks. Cafe/restaurant/shop on site which were really nice. We had coffee and cake and staff were lovely and beers and food I couldn't fault. This is a great place with yurts, pods and tent sites and I thought it was great. Food looked nice from restaurant and I will give it a go when next there. Beautiful part of the world

We went to the Lord Stones for lunch. The restaurant was busy so we expected a bit of a wait. However when the food came, the chips were cold as was my wife's spinach & ricotta caneloni which also lacked seasoning. No salt on the table and most of the salt grinders contained damp salt which didn't come out. Very disappointing meal compared with past experiences at the Lord Stones.

We booked a table as we were walking from Osmotherly. The person I booked with was extremely helpful as we couldn't give precise timings. We arrived about -.30. The food was delicious but very slow and the chips were cold. Friendly and tasty. Would go again.

Lordstones is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the world, the North Yorkshire moors. Today the weather was perfect for a walk across the tops. Once we had worked up an appetite we visited Lordstones restaurant and ordered Sunday lunch. We waited approximately 15 minutes to be served, which was fine because the place was extremely busy. Our meal was nothing short of first class, delicious meat, well cooked and varied veggies and the biggest Yorkshire puds we'd ever seen. The staff are great, they were all working flat out (the good weather had brought out so many people) but they served us with smiles. This is a great place, I wish we lived closer.

Visited on a sunny Mothers Day and although busy it wasn't crowded, with lots of room to walk and admire the views. People picnicking, and just enjoying the location. The wonderful lady in charge found a small table for my mother and I and looked after us superbly. People coming and going so if you wanted a sunny outside table you didn't wait long.

9 of us had a very good mother's day meal and the service was excellent... until it came to paying! There was a queue to order food, for both indoor and out meals, and we were expected to join this to pay for our meals. After a long wait (possibly 10 minutes), we eventually got to the front of the queue. We then had to work out who owed what so then had to wait again to pay, once we had done this. I mentioned the problem to the young girl on the till who just smiled and shrugged and apologised. This was really not good enough and would make me think twice before paying another visit.

We enjoyed tea and fruit scones with jam and clotted cream in this great cafe high on Carlton Bank. Service was friendly and good and our refeshments set us up for a brisk walk to the top of the hill, leaving the car in the cafe's car park.

Went for a Sunday lunch meal. The roast beef looked delicious but unfortunately it needed to be ordered in advance - I'll have to go again to try it !Cafe was busy but had reserved a table. Brocolli soup was very tasty. Then quiche and chips. Very tasty food and reasonable prices.Afterwards had a look round the gift shop and a walk to the Lord stones (not as big as I had expected. ) Fantastic views over the Tees Valley from the top of the escarpment. Would recommend booking Sunday lunch in advance and taking a pair of walking boots to admire the view.

We found Lord stones on Tuesday whilst out for a ride & decided on a coffee & a sandwich. Our order taken quickly with coffee arriving not long after with the waitress advising the sandwiches wouldn't be long. Unfortunately these took about 20 minutes by which time we had drunk most of our coffee. I appreciate it was a very busy period but it would have been a more enjoyable experience to have had them both together or maybe an offer off another cup! The sandwiches were superb but we weren't offered cutlery to eat the side salad with. Would call again as all the food we saw looked really good.

Stopped off at the cafe at Lord Stones yesterday whilst out for a ride on our motorbike. The cafe was very busy but we were able to get a table straight away and our food order was taken a short time later. We ordered the soup (tomato and basel) and a club sandwich, (with side salad and fries) and drinks. There was a slight delay in the order arriving but given how busy it was we expected a longer wait. The soup was piping hot and delicious and the club sandwich and extras was 'almost' too much to manage, but we knuckled down and managed to finish both .Overall an excellent lunch at a reasonable price and provided by friendly and helpful staff. We shall no doubt be visiting again over the coming months.

My family and i wen her on 18th February to celebrate for my daughter 30th birthday, having not been here before didn't know what to expect. From start to finish the whole expeience was amazing, the food is out of this world and they certainly do not skrimp on portion sizes. There was 20 of us so we thought it would take quote a while to sort food although we did pre order, service was 5* and i would have no problem recommending this place for a meal. Me and hubby are off in a couple of weeks and are thinking of going back for afternoon tea as a treat.Definatley WELL WORTH GOING HERE 5* all the way . Well done to Dom and the staff for making our evening memorable for us all :)

We visited for tea and scones. The cafe was very busy but there was a table for four being cleared. We sat and waited for our order to be taken but eventually had to go to the bar to ask for service. Order of tea, hot chocolate and cheese scones was eventually taken. Tea and scones arrived. Followed by hot chocolate which was not hot. The scones were ok but would have been significantly nicer had they been warm. All the time we were there tables were not cleared. One large group eventually cleared their own table. The cafe was severely understaffed, service was slow and I will think twice before visiting again.

I had never visited Lord Stones before but have been enjoying my recent walking trips with my well behaved Labrador. Sadly however after doing a 35 minute drive to Lord stones - having a beautiful 10km walk around the moors. When visiting the cafe (which on the website says "All are most welcome from cyclists to walkers and dog walkers") I was most upset when I found the sign on the door saying "Guide Dogs Only".The phrase "Dog walkers" are welcome implies their canine companions are also welcomed (otherwise they would just be "walkers").This sadly put a sour note on our trip as while the food was delicious - having to eat outside, my well earned lunch went stone cold within minutes as well as my finger tips which somewhat ruined my dining experience!Your website is very misleading on how "welcoming" you are to dog walkers and it would be better phrased that "Dog walkers are welcome in the outside seating area" (as is common with most places with outside seating area which personally I don't think qualifies you to advertise as dog walker friendly).A year on they are still advertising as Dog Walker friendly when they certainly are not. I'm sure I'm not the only one to have been caught out by this.

Ordered tea and scones, for the tea to come and the lady to say they had no scones. Wouldn't have had the tea if I knew this in the first place. Felt pressured into having the tea. Won't be visiting again.-tip to staff- tell people what you don't have before taking orders.

I had lunch there yesterday. I chose the mixed pepper quiche with chips and salad. I thought it sounded healthy and tasty. What I got was a slice of quiche that wainedible...it was so burnt it should never have been served. The salad comprised of rocket leaves with dressing ( salad in my books comprises of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber etc) and fries not chips. Naturally, I returned the meal pointing out what was wrong and I asked for another slice of quiche. The second slice looked less burnt but on tasting it tasted dry and had no flavour at all. The 'chips' were returned stone cold and of course the salad was just a joke. Needless to say it didn't get eaten. After two mouthfuls I gave up. It was vile. Anyway we were offered 10% off the meal and free drinks (2coffees). No recompense really when I had to go elsewhere for another meal.

Been up twice in a Month with two of my Grandsons, great service, great location, great food, clean tidy helpful staff and food always great quality.bhoys plates cleared ever time.

I have been here many times over the years and here are my findings for today's visit.GOOD. The butternut squash soup and steak sandwich were absolutely superb.The waitress was fantastic, the cafe itself is beautiful and the surroundings are completely unsurpassed.BADThe weather was atrocious however nobody at Lord stones can be blamed for that!CONCLUSION If you want great food at sensible prices in the most amazing location imaginable, then you know where to come.

We called for Sunday breakfast on our way over to Yarm [yes we detoured specially!]. We were warmly welcomed by young & friendly staff, shown to our table & cheerfully supplied with menus. My husband ordered the Full Yorkshire while I chose Porridge.... tea was brought immediately & our food arrived soon after. The Full Yorkshire was just that, well presented & piping hot & my husband polished it all off with relish declaring it to be excellent quality & tasting wonderful. My bowl of thick & creamy rustic porridge drizzled with honey was just perfect & set me up for the day!! We can't wait to return....but what to choose....Sunday Lunch, Afternoon tea? We are sure it will be just delicious!! Full marks to the friendly & efficient staff, including the lady in the deli shop....well done all of you.

Called in for drinks & cake after a walk, the place wasn't busy by any means but they really struggled with serving drinks & food ordered together at the same time, the fruit scones were fresh but lacking in fruit. However I have not such surly service in a long time. It did little to encourage a return visit.

Called in after a walk along the Moors Path, always popular and busy, great for a snack and a warm up after a walk. Well worth calling in for a cuppa and a snack.

Stylish looking, with a rustic feel. We booked as we heard it was popular especially a couple of days after Xmas. We had our boys with us. Good for families....Steak pie is recommended also my lads fish cakes were top notch... Afterwards a lovely ramble up Carlton bank to walk it off. Pathways clearly marked....will be back!

Excellent location as it allows walks from the car park. Staff very helpful. Atmosphere good. Popular with walkers and cyclists.

We recently paid a visit here for the first time for awhile. We used to walk our dogs here on a regular basis and then call for a bacon sandwich at the cafe. We always enjoyed it but it was very basic and the outside toilets were really grim!So we could not believe the changes made under the new owners: fabulous new cafe/restaurant with an extended menu and now selling alcohol too. And the toilets....indoors and positively luxurious!In addition they now have a lovely shop, camping pods and even yurts. The whole area is now considerably smartened up and more enticing. The only downside was that the walk we had been doing for years, down to the little lake, was now fenced off and we couldn't figure out why.But everything else about the place was fabulous ....a great trip out, with or without dogs. And we are led to believe they have BBQs with live music some Friday nights, but we couldn't find any details on the website. But in the whole a really lovely place to visit.

Fabulous for lunchtime; newly decorated food on an evening lovely also they have barbie nights with music the cater for campers also have yuts and glamping huts lovely scenery excellent for walkers and dogs my fav place
