Origin in Hambleton

Our favourite place where we have our date nights

Wow, what can I say. The food is just incredible! This is one of the best Tapas meals I have ever had. So tasty & 3 for £20 excellent value. Great service too.

Excellent on every level, food, staff and atmosphere. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We were very impressed with our first visit to Origin. The service and atmosphere perfectly complemented a relaxed yet attentive and professional dining experience. The food clearly came from a place of love and culinary passion—it was outstanding and delicious. We enjoyed a selection of small plates, all of which were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend it to others.

Had an amazing meal, all small plates were delicious! So many different flavours and very good value for money. Would highly recommend! The staff were lovely and attentive!

Love this place. Great food and service plus a good wine list

Really can’t put into words how good the food is here and I’ve travelled the world. Friendly staff, good atmosphere and even great to just pop into for a good cocktail or ale! Highly recommend to everyone!

nice food, got the first 2 small plates in about 10 minutes then waited about an hour for the 3rd small plate apart from the delay was nice just make sure your not in a rush

We LOVED this place. The food was divine and service and drinks were spot on too. The restaurant itself was very atmospheric. The menu had lots to choose from and catered for both me and my husband. Little dishes were 'chefs kiss'. Will definitely visit again. TOP TIP - You must try the miso brown butter with sourdough bread

Absolutely wonderful meal. We visited on fairly spontaneous Saturday night. The selection of dishes was just right. Every dish was excellent. Particularly the hispi cabbage which was surprisingly delicious. Great selection of beers and cocktails

Great food & wine choice & such good value. The bao buns were amazing. Would definitely recommend & come back. Look forward to trying the small plates next time.

So relaxed, great food, good value. The beetroot & goats cheese was amazing. The tacos were great. Staff were friendly and efficient. Cannot wait for our next visit.

We could have had food at any of our lovely beer garden stops in Northallerton, but decided to hold out and duck out of the sun, to the recommended Origin. I'm so glad we did! Absolutely stunning food, lovely wine too. Visited with my mum today but we're both eager to bring our friends and family back to try out even more of the menu.

Some of the best food in the area. Absolutely love this place. Cocktails are amazing, food is too good and bottomless brunch is well worth it.

Excellent small plate dining. Slightly different, delicious take on tapas. Fresh seasonal food, changing menus. Welcoming, friendly staff. Good atmosphere. Take advantage of the early evening special offers.

So refreshing to come across an establishment that is doing small plates (tapas) properly. Many places have jumped on the tapas bandwagon but few are doing it well but for me, Origin is. A good selection of dishes that are reasonably priced and best of all, what is served up lives up to its description. We will be back

This place was busy, so it must be doing something right, but what that is escvapes me. Food arrives as it is ready according to the menu. The result of this was that three of us were just about finished eating before the fourth had received any food at all. One dish, baked cod in tomato pesto etc featured a thick piece of excellently cooked cod but it was swimming in stone cold tomato pesto. The flavours did not go together nor did the temperatures. "Baked king scallaps" arrived on a scallop shell swimming in garlic butter - no problem except that the scallops weren't king scallops plural but fragments of what could have been less than one large scallop. The other dishes were equally disappointing.

Beautiful food. How sourdough and amazing butter can taste so good I don't know. All small plates were great even the smallest piece of grapefruit needs a mention. Service was good. Can't wait to go back

This tapas meal was absolutely outstanding 👏 👌 We had 6 plates 🍽 between 2 of us, and it was exceptional. Packed with goodness and flavour, every plate was an absolute delight. A mocktail was the ideal accompaniment, too, with a sweet plate to finish off.

Went for lunch 23/6, shared a few small plates. All nicely cooked and well presented, decent and varied menu, good range of beers, nice service. Would definitely recommend

Visited with my parents for their first tapas, food was tasty and plentiful though quite expensive. Staff helpful but tables quite sticky and a few flies buzzing about which were slightly off putting. Will visit again and hopefully changes will have been made.

Visited here with my partner during our stay in Thirsk and wow this restaurant didn’t disappoint. We went for the taster menu paired with the wines and each dish was impeccable - hats off to the chefs!! Very reasonably priced for the standard of food and service we received. Would absolutely recommend to friends and family and would return to this restaurant if we ever stayed in this area again.

The only place in town that can mix old school cocktails

Very beautifully presented, tasty food. Good selection of tapas and very friendly staff

Food was great lots of small tasting plates. They could improve when you go in it feels like a fairly rough pub but once they take you up to the restaurant this improves a lot

Fantastic. Best meal in Northallerton in a very long time. I'm lactose intolerant, and they had a specific menu just for that... that's a first, very impressed. Update Feb 24. Just as good, food and staff amazing, nothing too much trouble. Had a great night, thank you.

Lovely gluten-free Sunday roast filet off beef. With the most perfectly cooked vegetables. Lovely staff and quick service. Very economically priced. Looking forward to next time.

Tapas/small plates with a difference. Had heard good things about the place and it exceeded my expectations. Some unusual combos of Asian fusion food but all were delicious. Staff were good too.

A lovely relaxed evening in great company. Food was delicious.

Incredible….as a vegetarian, I felt very spoilt for choice and had just to order all of the veggie options. So glad we did! I’ve been to many AA rosette restaurants and Michelin starred restaurants (in London mainly), and this is hands down one of the best places I have ever eaten. The the cocktails were amazing too. I had one made that wasn’t on the menu, and it was beautiful. They went above and beyond, customer service and food / drinks… just amazing. My favourite was the broccoli, divine. Will be back in a heart beat.

Beautiful crab is back on the menu so I am in heaven

Ask for the "wretched hobo". It's not a heritage ale. In the men's toilet there is a vagrant who can predict the future. Cross his palm with one iPhone and he will predict the date of your next dental appointment.

Visited with friends for Sunday lunch and had a fantastic meal. As a coeliac eating out can be troublesome but the whole of the Sunday lunch menu was gluten free and delicious! I can highly commend. So too were the nibbles we had for starters and sticky toffee pudding. Great spot and we will be back.

Went in for the first time yesterday with my partner and we both loved it! Between us we got 6 plates that were part of the 3 for £20 deal. Showstoppers for us were the tuna tataki and arancini. Service and food were both top notch, couldn’t have faulted anything.

Came here as we live in a village close by. Reception was fine and we got taken to our table quickly. We ordered drinks which were a little slow arriving but it was very busy. We also ordered 4 dishes each. Sourdough bread with a caramelised butter was fine, bread was really good. I then had a scallop in a yoghurt. Scallop was overcooked and Luke warm, presumably because it was in a lake of cold yoghurt. I ate it and it wasn’t unpleasant, it just wasn’t worth the £12 it cost. I then had fried chicken and Parmesan fries. Fries were very good and chicken was fine but not exceptional, I buy better from M and S across the road. My Wife had fried polenta, OK but not exceptional, haloumi with caramelised onions which was fine and a fried cabbage dish which she found inedible due to the strong taste of the sauce. She left most of the cabbage. We then had deserts which were the best part of the meal, chocolate delice and a rhubarb tart. Service was poor. We waited 15 mins for a waitress to give us a desert menu. They were running round but never looked up and despite us being at a table in the middle of the room it was impossible to attract their attention. They were also oblivious to us having finished. Once they did come they didn’t ask why my wife had left the cabbage dish, just cleared the plates and went. I think the main issue was they didn’t appear to have a station so no-one had any responsibility for a particular table, they all seemed to visiting all the tables. I say this from my experience of having eaten at hundreds of restaurants the world over, if there aren’t stations you can be missed. Overall a very below par experience, I’ve no idea how it gets such good reviews other than the choice in Northallerton being so limited that this is the best of the bunch.

Another 10/10 family Sunday. 6 of us in total, we arrived 30 minutes early for our table so we played board games and tasted a wide range of beers they have on tap. Mum had a couple of Cocktails which looked amazing. The food was fantastic, we shared a few of the snacks before we all had a roast beef dinner. The beef is fantastic, so tender and a slight smokey flavour. The best Yorkshire puddings and all completely gluten free. No better roast in the area.

Brilliant little place to come across, visited with some family and each dish we had was faultless especially the tuna and cod dish! Which went down well with a few cocktails, all of the staff we interacted with were very helpful and accommodating, we will definitely be back :)

We’ve been scouring the area for the perfect Sunday Lunch and today, we found it on our doorstep. We both had roast beef (melt in the mouth) with a superb array of vegetables. Excellent and couldn’t fault it. We have previously visited and have had the small plates dishes which are aLao excellent.

10/10 food. 10/10 service. Very welcoming staff and great menu choices would highly recommend to anyone and will be back very soon. Very accommodating to dietary restrictions overall a wonderful place.

Fabulous lunch . Acut above most Sunday lunches . Food was delicious and excellent service throughout .

OH. MY. GOODNESS. This place is amazing!! I visited with my mum last week and have been telling everyone about it ever since. Best restaurant I've been to in living memory; I live in London and have pretty much given up dining out as the food never tastes right, even at the poshest places in town. But this little restaurant in Northallerton, North Yorkshire absolutely made me fall in love with food all over again! Just dishes were so clever and inventive! The staff seemed to be genuinely proud of their work and so they should be!! Thank you so much Origin, I will definitely be visiting every time I go North to visit my mum. Thank you thank you for a truly splendid experience

Lovely place to drink and also to have their small plates experience. This review scores lowly mainly due to, what I consider, as a low qual7ity hummus. I found it sloppy, mainly tasteless. A chance to talk to the chef was not forthcoming and my concern was dismissed too quickly by one of the barstaff/ serving staff. I wasn't allowed the full name of the manager by the staff who was not available and no one seemed willing to step up to challenge of being in charge for the evening.

A great selection of small plates. There are lots of choices for vegetarians and good dessert options too. They had a huge range of beers, cocktails, and wines. I was very pleased with my pint of Virtuous IPA from Kirtstall Brewery, which was on draft and only 0.9% alcohol content. Friendly staff, and excellent value for money. Would highly recommend to anyone in the Northallerton area.

We had an amazing time at origin. Everything was super tasty but our particular favorite was the Korean chicken. We will definitely be back again soon!

3rd time at this restaurant...food is wow...only been at lunchtime .

My husband and I went here for dinner Saturday night whilst visiting family in the area. The downstairs bar area had a great atmosphere, with welcoming staff and a good selection of beers and cocktails. We ordered 7 of the small plates and dessert. All of the food was outstanding, in particular the arancini which we ordered seconds of. The service was faultless . The whole team should be congratulated on their efforts and we will most certainly be returning when we are next in the area.

Our party of 7 really enjoyed the Tapas dishes here, we found them interesting, tasty and reasonably priced. The staff were brilliant, attentive, helpful and polite. We had a selection of different cocktails/beer/wine, all of which were great. This is not your average, everyday, run of the mill eatery, and that's what makes it so brilliant. I have no hesitation recommending this place to family and friends. Thanks Origin, see you again!

We were a large group and Origin hosted us all perfectly, with professional and prompt service. A few of the group had the Sunday roast and commented it was the best they'd had out for a long while; even the kids options were well thought out. Would love to see a veggie roast option one day, though! The food scene in Northallerton has never been particularly exciting, so really great to see Origin serving the goods and thriving!

If you’re after amazing food and drink this is the place for you! Without a doubt the best place for food in Northallerton, it genuinely isn’t matched. With a rotating seasonal menu there will always be something different available but everything is of the finest quality. Could not recommend it any more! As for drinks? Again, the best selection in town. They’ve got a brilliant array of the best local and national craft beer alongside hand pull cask options. There’s also a huge cocktail menu that genuinely caters for all tastes, including non alcoholic. A final point. The team are amazing! Service is always with a smile and they genuinely go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your visit. Origin is now a regular stop for us and has been a game changer for Northallerton. 5 star!

We went for Sunday lunch having been a number of times for evening meal. Northallerton has lacked a decent Sunday lunch for sometime, not any more. It went well beyond our expectations and all gluten free to boot. The Yorkshire puddings were the best gluten free puddings I've had, meat nice and pink and tender, gravey spot on. The chief should be proud and deserves a pat on the back. Cheese sauce on the cauliflower needs some work but this is only criticism, everything else we couldn't fault.

We went with our family for a birthday lunch. Three of us are meat eaters, one pescatarian and one vegetarian, so we ordered a variety of small plates to share. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! Origin is something different, the food is first class, the service is very friendly and it's a real asset to Northallerton.

Absolutely perfect - thank you!

Really good (as usual)our favourite place in Northallerton, (last nights Spanish wine and tapas taster)it was an excellent evening great food, wine, service and atmosphere well done👏👏

Excellent Sunday dinners, a great addition to Northallerton which is normally a black hole of food quality.

We previously visited for small plates and so we’re really excited to try the Sunday roast. We were not disappointed. We both chose the beef and it was super tasty and pink. The sides were thought out and flavourful. No bland vegetables here. We topped it off with desserts, which are always amazing here. The baked Alaska is especially my favourite.

This was our first visit to Origin and it certainly won’t be our last! The food was delicious and the service was first class. The Arancini and the carrot hummus were particular favourites but everything was excellent! Highly recommended!

Without doubt the best Sunday lunch we’ve ever had!First class food,service and excellent value.5 star

First visit here, and it was an excellent evening. Lovely style and quality of food - nice twists! Lots of unique, interesting flavours and plenty of choice. Lovely cocktails and quirky beers. Super, friendly, efficient service. Minor point, as mentioned elsewhere, give the toilets an...

Popped in for lunch - the food was absolutely gorgeous, lovey choice of healthy tasty food . The service was great . Would highly recommend!

Nice food in a nice place. Good service from friendly staff. Thank you 🙂

What a fantastic little place. Small plates, food so flavoursome and well presented. Lovely cocktails. Staff so attentive but not over the top. Only one thing, the toilets could do with sprucing up. Highly recommend

Absolute hidden gem. The food is stunning and service is always great. My partner is Gluten and Dairy free and the staff / chef just take it in their stride. Nothing is too much trouble. The food and drinks are well priced and good value....

Lovely place to eat and or drink. Lovely young team of staff. Nice F & Fs. Music sometimes a bit loud in the downstairs bar when it's not so busy

If your a foodie and enjoy a Sunday lunch done right then look no further. The beef omg it was amazing and smokey as they cook it on a bbq. My Mrs had belly pork, also finished on the bbq. I'm guessing it's slow cooked....

Food and drink excellent. Best selection of craft beer in the area, and usually 3 Cask beers on, making a total of 13 on offer. Food menu changes weekly and is very imaginative .

There's not much to say about the food other than it's excellent! The portion sizes are good and as it's meant for sharing, there's a lot to choose from, although not all dishes are included in the 3 for £XX deal. I gave service 4 stars because we felt forgotten about for the dessert course and after waiting for around 30 minutes, I had to go and ask for it. It meant I had to leave to sort out my parking as I didn't expect lunch to last 2 hours. As for atmosphere, the seating is enough for groups, but that means conversations can become quite loud at times, drowning out the music and giving it a pub feel when you really want a restaurant. A nice experience overall and we've walked past so many times saying we should go in, and we're finally glad we did.

Fabulous Sunday lunch..... well cooked.... portion size perfect..... a lovely original twist..... also great value.... add the great range of beers, wines & cocktails......

Great find, good tasting food, very well presented, at a reasonable price what more can you ask for?

Fantastic food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Well worth a visit while in Northallerton. Reasonably priced.

Amazing food - we had the small Plates sharing menu. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian options which were all delicious. Great service but the food was a little slow though worth the wait.

Stunning food and drink. Visited today. Great attention to detail with the food. This is fine dining for sure with a balanced menu big enough for choice and small enough to be good. There is no pretentiousness to the food. It’s not overly fussy and...

The food here was amazing, we had a trio of small plates to share as a starter followed by Sunday lunch. The service on arrival was a little cold but when moved to the restaurant it was really pleasant. Will be returning 100% to sample more of the dishes.

Fabulous, strong asain flavours that I loved. Great format, and if you pick the right deal, depending on when you visit, it's fantastic value. At last, Northallerton has a food outlet of real quality

Small plates, like tapas but with flavours from around the world. Everything was well presented and tasty, staff were good. Nothing not to like

One of the best places to eat for us food fresh and delicious, small plates but we are always satisfied, attentive staff good wine and beers selection

Food was brilliant, staff were great always checking in to make sure all was okay. Couldn’t fault it and really reasonably priced.

Wow myself and my daughter had a fantastic afternoon this week to celebrate my birthday. The waitresses and bar staff and chef are welcoming, friendly and efficient, nothing is to much trouble . I even asked the chef for a few of his recipes and...

Been twice now and the food is brilliant really varied menu which tasted brilliant, my date and I both loved it, the small plates concept just works in true tapas style and variation in the menu should have something for everyone! If you're in Northallerton...

Toilet smell when first walked in the restaurant wasn’t a good start. Food was okay and nothing to complain about. Just was expecting a little bit better to be honest. No wow factor. Staff were lovely and attentive. Music/ambiance wasn’t the best for the surrounding,...

Visited with my partner, the food was fab! Great selection of beers too. The small plates range in price but all we tried were tasty and fresh.

Very impressed for our first visit to Origin. The service and atmosphere was spot on for a relaxed but formal evening. Attentive and professional. The food has clearly come from a place of love and culinary passion, outstanding and delicious. Will certainly be returning, and definitely reccomend.

Went for a meal and the food was absolutely lovely and the service was fab staff were very welcoming

Amazing food. Amazing cocktails. Very lovely staff members, friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!

Busy Friday and 2/3 staff were great; explained slight delay with food as it was busy and friendly and helpful. However we arrived for our table at 19:45 and we’re told we could add more plates as we went. We waited a while for food...

Always utterly delicious. Little plates of perfection. Every element of every dish perfectly created and balanced. Menu changes regularly so there's always something new to explore. Best place to eat in town without a doubt.

The staff were lovely and very attentive. The food was gorgeous and I have recommended it to everyone I know!

The place was buzzing when we walked in - bar with great beer, cocktails being shaken - great. Really hard to choose what good to have as all looked good - really weren’t disappointed every dish great and really friendly professional service - you could...

Went for the first time this weekend with some friends, could not fault it. Great service and friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and the food was outstanding. I will be back very soon!
