I've been in s few dumps before but this place is up there with the worst. Dreadful food and miserable dire staff. Not z zmile amongst gem. Dreadful atmosphere and dirty and untidy. Had the feeling nobody cared. How they have some of the positive reviews is a mystery. As someone else put it, it must be friends of the owner doing it. Never again.

Came in for lunch midweeks and a bit of a mixed bag. The all day breakfast was good, filling and substantial but the Ploughman’s wasn’t good. 2 slices of ham and pickles were okay, but a small ramekin of grated cheese is not what you expect in a ploughman’s. Some nice crusty bread would have been good and not sure about the large portion on the plate of various salad items mixed together isn’t the usual. Certainly wouldn’t order it again and wouldn’t pay nearly £35 for a breakfast, ploughman’s, chips a gin and a soda water.

I went for a mid week lunch and was charged £15 for a small tuna salad with half a coke. Was just a basic leaf salad with a small amount of tuna and for some reason was warm! My friend was charged £38 for two basic lunches. The pub is dirty looking and unsurprisingly empty. Staff however were polite and attentive. I understand pubs are struggling but over charging customers is not helping as we are struggling too. We will be heading to wetherspoons in future

The most awful food I've had in years!! My son had the most terrible burger ever! Dripping in grease and totally under cooked.. my pie was dreadful and obviously had been heated up loads.. it was served with cold chips . And the very young girl and I say lightly "cooking" was quite clearly out of her depth!! As we heard her asking how long do I microwave this for!! We left all our food as it was inedible 😧

I haven’t been in this area for over 8 yrs now & I decided to visit the place I came to a lot with friends. Wow 🙄 what a dive!! No way I could dance as my feet was sticking to the floor. I asked the Dj for a tune and got looked at like a piece of muck. The security was rude, agro and clearly wanted a fight. The bar staff had attitude especially the lady. Not allowed drinks outside even in plastic glasses. Under age all over the place and can’t handle their drinks or narcotics. Couldn’t careless here won’t be returning. Don’t go

Called in for a snack but ended up with the chilli and home made chips, my wife had Hunters chicken. The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious and piping hot. Real homecooked chips. Chicken was well cooked without being dry, the bacon was excellent and the two types of cheese were melted and not thrown on as an afterthought. Toilets very clean. Will definitely go again

Ate on Sunday evening - great to be able to find somewhere that serves good pub food on a Sunday night until 8pm. Adults and teenagers happy with their meals - gammon steak, steak and ale pie, scampi and chicken burger. Liked that you had a choice of peas and a choice of chips or skinny fries. Good kids menu although veggie or vegan options would be an idea and great dessert choices. Drinks were good. Staff super friendly and helpful. Nice community feel with a range of age groups all mixing well.

Just thought I’d leave a note here with this being the biggest place everyone goes to on a night out in Driff. As most people are at like 2am I was quite drunk on the dance floor in here. Bar staff constantly short change me and my mates and ignored me when we said anything. Feel like the staff here knows what they’re doing. Drinks are expensive enough already.

After eating at this restaurant numerous time before leaving a review I can certify a great time.Not only do you receive a warm welcome into the pub, the service throughout is more than dignified. The first time I walked in I was very apprehensive but the food/staff speak for themselves. Tremendous food and (hard to say) even better staff made my nights tremendous. Great portion sizes and at first I thought they were trying to make up for the flavour to the food, but I was very wrong. Great flavour and taste clearly cooked by a great chef. 100% recommend and will definitely be returning.

Visited here today with a friend. We haven’t been to this place before and we will certainly not be returning.. we ordered lasagne and skinny fries and lasagne with chips, the chips were potato wedges and the skinny fries were chips. The meal was quite nice but it took almost an hour to arrive, we would of walked out if we hadn’t paid before we got the meal. There was no other people in the restaurant so why did it take so long to cook a meal, what would happen if it was full, I hate to think.

Good service - however it took ages for food to arrive. When it did it was not what we had ordered and my meat pie was cold with a hard and difficult to eat crust. My wife's lasagne was tough and difficult to eat (she left most of it). When I pointed out the cold pie the staff said that all he could do was apologise. Really? He could have offered to replace it or at least reheat it to a decent temperature. The chairs also could do with cleaning. What was supposed to be red was a turgid brown. I do not think we will be calling in here again.

Popped in for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised! I haven't been in a while and wondered if the menu had changed and if the food quality was still good. It surpassed my expectation. I was greeted by a friendly lady who asked what I would like to drink and if I was eating. I had a look at the menu and decided to go for an OMG burger and a pint. I took a seat and the lady came and set the table and said food wouldn't be long. The food must have come within about 20 minutes which was good considering how busy it was. The food portions were big and I was very impressed with the homemade chips and onion rings. The onion rings were crispy yet melted in your mouth. Will definitely be back again and would recommend. The bar staff were friendly and very obliging considering how busy it was. Definitely worth a visit.

We couldn't find anywhere to park in Beverley so kept going to Driffield. This pub is right next to the car park, was doing Sunday lunch at a reasonable price, and the staff were very friendly. It's got a nice outside area too. The meat was fine, plenty of roasties and mash, stuffing was a bit dry and the Yorkshires not very hot, but the vegetables, which came separately in a nice dish, were fresh and excellent. Especially the mashed swede. You wouldn't go here for a romantic night out, and the toilets could do with a makeover, but it made for a quick and easy lunch for us, travelling between Norwich and Newcastle.

place has changed hands - now serves one of the worst "Steak and Ale Pie" I have ever had. Mostly consisted of tomatoes, carrots and parsnip. With a dried up lump of puff pastry on top. I did try to speak to one of the owners, but was repeatedly told that it was, in fact, a steak and ale pie. "We have been making it to the same recipe for 10 years.....Here is the recipe.....Look. Go on - look"No thanks - it's still not a steak pie. And it still won't be in another 10 years.It's a shame because this place used to give a really good feed for a fiver.....Prices have gone up, Quality down. Service was prompt and friendly.

Been in a couple of times since the new management have taken over. They seem to be finding their feet and slowly making their own individual stamp on the place. Both of them and all the staff are all really friendly and welcoming. Had Sunday lunch today and it was delicious. Lovely tender beef, mash and roast spuds, five different veg, Yorkshire puds and homemade gravy. Great value for money. Not sure about the people moaning, some saying it looks tired and then others moaning about the new decor! Lovely food and a welcome everytime. I'm not sure what more you could want?

Food has increased in price by roughly 40%. The quality of the food has tumbled drastically. The pastry on the Steak Pie that is served in a dish?? Pastry only on the top and full of air, just dry and crumbles to nothing.Staff were friendly, but the price of drinks has also gone up. Not what it was.New carpets and décor down, but you don't charge your customers for it. Will now have to find somewhere else.

The pub is run down and tired but the food is excellent and the portions are huge. It's about to change hands and I hope the new management can preserve the excellent kitchen standards. If they can also return the interior to its obvious former glory (see the original ceiling light fittings) they will be onto a winner. The barman was friendly and efficient. He told us about puddings for £1.

They have several traditional English pub dishes available for around a fiver, which is an excellent deal, especially for a meal that was better than some meals I've paid a lot more for. I had the steak and ale pie with chunky (and I mean CHUNKY) chips and mushy peas with gravy and an extra gravy boat was supplied for those who like their gravy., and it was all excellent.The wife had a the all day breakfast and loved it. Highly recommended and worth a visit.Lovely staff willing to help.Only thing I will say and that was the pub was a bit on the dark side.

They have several traditional English pub dishes available for 5 quid, which is an excellent deal, especially for a meal that was better than some 10 pound meals I've had. I partook in the steak and ale pie with skinny chips and garden peas, and it was all excellent. Highly recommended and will be returning.

How wrong we were. I joked to my dining partner we'd "risk" eating at the original keys.We were both delighted with our decision to not judge a book by it's cover. Hadn't consulted TripAdvisor and at that point where you really have to eat something, anything!Things looked up as we entered to find a tidy but well used traditional pub, dated on the outside but bustling with around fifteen diners and a few people enjoying a drink.During viewing the menu to decide our eating options we were offered a towel to dry off after been caught in a down pour.A fantastic touch which you wouldn't get everywhere and massively appreciated considering we'd joked about how all we'd wanted was somewhere with food and a towel.Still quite cautious due to the exterior we were pleased to see a traditional pub menu with a good range of starters, mains, baguettes and desserts.A sign advised of home made pizzas but we opted to share the coated cheese and jalapeño bites.£3.95 for a starter seemed expensive considering mains were £4.95(more for steaks)We couldn't of been more wrong, we were presented with a very beautiful looking plate consisting of a brightly coloured side salad. Crisp iceberg lettuce, red onion, a variety of peppers and a very firm tasty tomato topped with a juicy orange. Two ramekins, one with sour cream and the other guacamole. Along with four decent sized crispy coated cheese and jalapeño filled bites.Our mains arrived after fantastic service throughout and after been wrong considering the starter expensive we were further shocked at the quality and portion size of mains.I had opted for a safe option of a smothered chicken breast with chunky chips. Having not read TripAdvisor I hadn't quite been aware of the hype surrounding these chunky bad boys but they genuinely are the biggest tastiest potato based product you'll find on a menu. The chicken was tender, the bacon not too crisp and the side salad fresh and varied.My partner opted for the pork and apple mash which came with a selection of seasonal veg. It looked and tasted very fresh alongside two very nice pork steaks and a generous helping of apple mash. The thyme gravy was to die for. Although I was rather full I had to help my dining partner finish their meal as the portion sizes are fantastic and the gravy drinkable.Was so impressed after finding this little gem that I just had to write a review, genuinely not what I expected from the outside and the quality exceeded expectations for the price. Great value for money and if I could of hung around for tea I'd of been tempted to dine there twice in one day.Can't wait to return and hope the Original Keys doesn't change what it's doing anytime soon.Thanks for making my trip to Driffield.

The food on offer is generous in portion size and not expensive at all. You will not be startled by the menu, it is honest pub food.I have never been a fan of the building, decor or indeed setting. It is a very large place to fill and often you feel like the only person there.On a weekend the younger kids in town do flocks so if you want a quiet meal this is not the place to be

Stopped in Driffield on way back from Bridlington and stumbled upon this after looking at reviews on trip advisor. A really warm welcome from the staff. They welcomed pets so we decided to give it a go. The specials of the day were explained and opted for a chicken roast dinner and I opted for the steak and ale pie.Both meals were enormous and home made and such fantastic value. We will definitely go again whilst on our travels.Well recommended!!! Good old fashioned pub grub!

Visiting Driffield from London, viewing properties in the area.The staff were extremely friendly and when ordering food, the chef spoke to my daughter about her gluten intolerance, actually caring about her condition.It has a very traditional and friendly atmosphere. Tables were clean and had menus and condiments without having to ask.The food came and was a delight. Very tasty and filling, but what was more satisfying, was the quality of the food. I cannot recommend this place enough to anybody either visiting, or passing though. A huge thank you to the bar and kitchen staff working Saturday 02nd January 2016 at 2pm.

Brilliant food I love their fat chipsI eat here regular and I do think you get value for money, actually the portion sizes are too big on some things but I would never tell them that
