Number Twelve in Ryedale

We dropped in after a ten mile hike so we’re pretty hungry. The place looked busy but had lots of empty tables so we decided to give it a shot. Ordering at the bar took some time as only one girl taking orders and making drinks. She advised 25-30 mins wait for food but I took a gamble and ordered. The food came in about 15-20 mins so not too bad but could tell they had been caught out by the lovely sunny day/1st March. Helmsley was packed! Anyway food was okay just over priced for what you get. Tuna melt ciabatta with some skinny fries (not homemade) and a small salad £13.50. Also if you’re paying those kind of prices should get something amazing but it was just average. Not bad but nothing special. No cutlery or napkins brought to tables and had to ask as none left in the little trays inside either. Sauce in hard to open sachets and loos were a bit untidy. Like I said think they were short staffed or caught out with weather.

Second visit here this year. Had the Yorkshire breakfast on both visits. Absolutely delicious the sausage is the best we've ever had and the black pudding well you'll have to try it it's so good. Very well priced for such quality food. It will be a regular visit everytime we're in Helmsley.

Another visit for what must be one of the best breakfasts in Yorkshire. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for - quality ingredients, well cooked and with excellent service from a friendly team. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

We had been before so booked a table as busy at lunchtime and no wonder. Super food and choices with such friendly Staff. Our friends first visit and they endorsed our comments.

Went for coffee and cake with my husband and granddaughters today. Massively impressed in that the cafe had Oatmilk as one granddaughter is dairy free. Massively disappointed that despite the wonderful array of lovely cakes on offer..absolutely none was dairy free! Oh well, Sea Salt crisps again!!

We love Helmsley and fancied afternoon tea. Having tried to book at a couple of local places, we popped into Number 12 as we walked from the car park. I had afternoon tea, my husband had a farmhouse platter. Absolutely delicious, great value and huge portions. The ham was top quality, sausage rolls were delicious and I had the best treacle tart ever as part of the afternoon tea. Do go and eat there, you will not be disappointed!

Called in today, we had the breakfast sandwich both were very nice, and this was one of the nicest coffees i have had in a very long time, nice staff brilliant cafe, go you will not be dissapointed.

Really lovely cafe/restaurant in town centre. Just stopped for a quick bite of lunch and had two excellent meals, really fresh and beautifully presented. Good value for money and dog friendly. Dogs welcome inside and outside.

Amazing breakfast!! And a full one too! Bacon, Sausage, Beans, Hashbrowns, Black pudding, mushrooms, tomato and….. Toast that’s included! (It’s a rare thing these days) Friends have had Sandwiches, Teacakes, Pie, Scampi and cakes, all of which they have enjoyed. It’s very clean, friendly staff, lovely outdoor stealing area. Not sure what else to say, but defo worth a visit if your in Helmsley

This is the BEST spot for breakfast,snack or a light lunch in Helmsley, top notch food, professional and helpful staff. Very clean and tidy excellent standards a great place all round I will be coming back on my next trip to Helmsley.

Called in yesterday (Sunday) whilst taking a short cut to the market square from the long stay car park. Whilst we didn’t have a booking, we were given a table in a plumb spot in the outside dining area. Perfect on a hot summers day. We ordered from a very comprehensive menu at the bar and it wasn’t very long before our drinks arrived outside. Soon after, our food arrived, beautifully presented and piping hot. The service was swift and very polite. I dropped a dish of coleslaw, which created some attention, but as with everything else, the staff dealt with it quickly and professionally. Well done Number 12! Additional points well earned for bringing out did some fresh water and making him feel welcome! Thanks again, we will return!

Called here for impromptu lunch today. Was not disappointed in any way whatsoever. Had Club sandwich and a Beef ciabatta sandwich which both came with masses of fries, coleslaw etc and drinks. The place is dog friendly, the staff were very attentive and the food was superb. Both inside and the outside garden areas are beautifully furnished, clean and welcoming. Highly recommend a visit here! 5*

Wonderful breakfast with some brilliant service, full Yorkshire was superb and definitely enough to keep you full for the day, coffee was incredible and I will 100% be returning. Atmosphere inside and out was lovely on a sunny morning and I could not ask for a more friendly welcoming staff. Lovely to see a friendly owned cafe back in Helmsley.

Handy location between car park and Market Place. Nice clean, modern interior surroundings . Menu includes excellent Full Yorkshire Breakfast with generous portions. Friendly service. Good coffee. We were having brunch but the cakes looked very tempting too so we’d come back.

Fabulous cakes and lovely coffee in a lovely setting between the market place and the castle. Dog friendly too
