Apparently 1 star is the lowest you can go. Shocking place. Abomination of an owner and the staff are rude and cheeky. I would not recommend going to this bar, personally I would rather drink out of a ditch. Would never return

Great bar decor cool and modern but comfy and unpretentious . Great selection of drinks but the standout was really friendly barman on both occasions we were welcomed by friendly barmen who were happy to chat and swop banter . If in Pickering stop in for a pint great bar loads of room further down the bar as well.

Love dropping in here for a glass or two of wine. Very good choice of wines and good range of prices. Quite a deceptively large place inside. Great atmosphere, TV screens around if you want to keep an eye on sporting events taking place, but music also played which adds to the general sense of night out

Called in Sunday lunchtime and enjoyed a couple of glasses of house rose - football was on tv but sound turned down and decent music being played - due to a noisy crowd in the main bar area (some swearing going on - staff ought to ask them to politely tone it down) we went through to a back room with comfy stools. Happily whiled away a couple of hours

Sorry, but if your house white wine is so awful you can’t drink it, and you are invited to ‘upgrade’ to a Pinot Grigio, then I don’t think you have the gall to be called a wine bar. In fact, this was more like a city centre Wetherspoons. Lager and big TVs. We went in at about 5pm. There was a Friday after work, predominantly male crowd in there. A group were sat at the bar ‘effing and jeffing’ very loudly, so much so an older couple looked so uncomfortable they got up and left, then followed by us as soon as we could finish our £16 bottle of Pinot. The bar staff should have asked them to mind their language at this time of day. We walked past later and a lively loud crowd were in and there was a bouncer on the door. If you’re looking for the young, Wild West of Pickering, this is the place for you, but not if you’re looking for a sophisticated wine bar!

Had a bit of time to spare before our Steam Train trip to Whitby, Saw this Wine Bar/Restaurant in the main street convenient for the trains so popped in for a drink. Nice friendly young lady behind the bar and enjoyed a nice glass of Pinot Grigio for me and a nice selection of beers to suit my husband. Opens at 11am which was handy as the pubs seem to open at 11:30...too late for our train.

I called in here for a quiet drink around 5 pm on Sunday. I got the drink, but not the quietness. There was a very noisy conversation going on at the end of the bar, with lots of swearing, including the f and c words. Not what I would expect in Pickering, and I was even less impressed when I heard the barman joining in. I left after one drink, and after making my views known to the manageress.

Visited here mid week for a birthday lunch for my mum. We sat in the extension which was really nice. We ordered drinks and the bar maid was friendly enough, we then ordered food which we think came from next door (as stated on the menu). Farmer's lunch and steak sandwiches, all were tasty and filly. The farmer's lunch was excellent and would recommend. The bill was average. All in all a nice, no nonsense lunch.

Part of the White Swan next doorWe wanted lunch and after looking at the other uninviting places nearby, this had a large glass frontage so you could see in, not busy just a handful of people in.Large Bar to the front and a now enclosed courtyard at the back with glass roof and sofas, no one in there so we picked there to sit, it was nice and warm from the sun so pleasantBar man was friendly and helpful, some craft beers which is always good. basic food menu, which was cooked next door at the Swan and brought across to us.The chap that brought it to us, could clearly see we had no cutlery or sauces, but just plonked the food down and left, so my wife had to go to the bar and get some from the station, at which point she got a funny look from the people in there barman included, sorry what were we supposed to do? its basic service, someone should have offered it and or brought it overThe food was good, nothing to write home about but maybe couple pounds overpriced for the quality but its a major tourist area so you will always pay more.Not sure what was going on with the decor, or what the place is trying to be, a Wine Bar its not, lots of pictures on the walls for sale at ridiculous prices (and many damaged) and all stuff I have seen in places like The Range for a tenth of the price they were trying to sell them for, in fact I bet that this is were they bought them from or B & M stores etcNot very clean either needed a good clean, food on the floor and sofas and dust everywhere.I then noticed a blast from the 80,s a pin board with photo,s of drunk people, obviously encouraged to take their pictures and pinned them up for all to see just how hammered they where and that is why you would not find me in a place like this on an evening, I like a drink and I have had bars, but I never encouraged this, its very intimidating and old hat and who wants to see that? A selfie gone mad and tells you something about the people and managementThere were of course the normal big screens for sport, which I cant abide in pubs, but good for those who want to watch it. Luckily the sound was down and music was playingIt is a shame it could be much better, but I am sure the locals love it, Pickering is a place I would stay overnight on a whim, just to get away and to eat and have a relaxing drink for the evening just for a change, however I would struggle to make it here, although they had a dart board upstairs so they cant be all bad

We thought this looked a very nice place - how very wrong.... Seven of us ordered drinks (2 adults and our five children aged 16 down to 12). We then order food, nothing difficult - sandwiches and a couple of other meals). After 45 minutes we enquired as to the whereabouts of our meals - we were told five minutes. They did appear but were not up to much, very poor presentatioon and very little ingredients all round. One order was wrong and when we questioned it the manageress was quite agressive (she had taken our order). Another ordered appeared to have been forgotten altogether. When questioned the forgotten order appeared with an ungracious attittude from the manager - the wrong order did not re-appear at all. I asked a male member of staff if my son was going to eat at all and he said he would ask the manager. He re-appeared some minutes later saying that the missing ingredient (bacon) would have to be purchased. At this point I told him to forget it and that we would be leaving and not paying. My daughter had not quite finished eating, but the manager saw fit to storm across the restaurant and physically remove the remains of her meal from underneath her, whilst my daughter was midway through a fork-full of food! "You're not paying for it, you're not having it" she shouted. At this my family and I left with the manager still shouting and ranting at us. I have never experienced such appalling service from a member of restaurant staff let alone someone who claims she manages the place. I am horrified at the treatment of my daughter. This woman should be dismissed immediately. I recommend that NO ONE EVER GO HERE - AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Upon ordering at the bar, I specifically requested a wheat and gluten free menu option to be told that the king prawn and chorizo salad on their menu might not be gluten free, I asked if they could check with the 'chef' and I'll use chef in inverted comma's since when the bar guy returned he told me that he couldn't guarantee that a salad would be gluten free since king prawns came from THE SEA.. no s**t sherlock but they don't grow in a field of wheat either!At this point, I told them everything on their menu contained wheat products and it seemed they did not want our business either, so we got up and left.The owner also was very arrogant and was claiming he could serve burgers made from minced steak cooked rare because it was steak mince and no bacteria could of touched the meat.. I think he ought to think again about what he is talking about because clearly he is very wrong!

We had a late lunch here and the food was excellent, as was the service. I would recommend the Piri Piri Chicken Burger, definitely had a kick to it. The vegetarian linguine and the fish and chips and fresh fish fingers and chips also got the thumbs up. The only disappointment being that there was not a lot left to choose from in terms of desserts. We sat in the rear of the restaurant which has a glass roof which gives it an outdoor feel, really nice.
