Otterington Shorthorn Inn in Hambleton

Great wee pub, cracking food and lovely beer. Good way to break a journey with their airb&b. Fantastic chili chicken parmesan, which seems to be a specialism of the North East......

We were on holiday in this village, we had booked a table for the Friday night on the date we arrived 27 th October, the place was buzzing very busy. The staff were all very friendly and we were served quickly with our food, the food was delicious, hot and a lot of it well worth the money. We enjoyed it so much we booked again for the following Thursday, the pub was quieter and again the food was delicious. If we are in this area again on holiday we will definitely go back there. Also dog friendly which is a bonus.

Visited on Sat 5th august with a family of 6 as we were staying in the attached accommodation. Everyone of our party said this was the best meal we’d rather out in ages. Food quality and quantity was fantastic and really good value. Pub itself was comfy and homely with attentive and friendly staff. I can personally recommend the fisherman’s board! Superb Thank you

Stayed at the local caravan site and walked down to the pub for a few drinks and a bite to eat. Very dog friendly. Locals were welcoming. Staff really helpful. Food was very tasty. Definitely worth a visit.

Just had a family meal here amazing !great atmosphere. Staff fab. Food out of this world. Def visiting again thanku

We stayed locally and visited The Shorthorn Inn pretty much every night this week . It’s got a really friendly atmosphere with some great locals . Wed to Sunday they serve food which is delicious, good portions and great value. The pub offers a very good selection of beers and wine . Certainly worth a visit

We stayed on the cottage next door to the otterington shorthorn, pleasant clean and comfortable. We had drinks both nights in the otterington shorthorn and had evening meal Saturday night food was nice and plenty of choice. Would definitely stay here again.

Great local pub with a lovely atmosphere. Manager and staff were extremely friendly, food and drinks were great value for money, the Pizza’s are an absolute must. The pub has a three double bedroom self accommodation unit next door, we stayed during Easter, again excellent value for money for a family of four (11 year old girl, 7 year old boy) compared to other options nearby. The entire place was spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend.

We stayed for 2 nights, to spend some time with our family who live in Ripon. This was the best value locally we could find and we were very happy with the property. Literally next to the pub, which served good pub food, 3 double bedrooms, lovely and clean, good carpets, although no central heating portable electric/ oil radiators in each room did the job. There was plenty of hot water and an electric shower. Located well for visiting the NY moors, Dales, Ripon or fountains abbey all no more than 30 minutes or less. A bottle of fresh milk and tea/coffee was provided, plenty of clean, nice cutlery and crockery too. Recommend for a long weekend, small kitchen so you wont be doing gourmet food but was OK for basics. In short, plenty of space, great value, good location and a lovey pub. (Oh, and they will deliver the food to your accommodation too!)

once again a good sunday lunch 5 minutes up the road the food was good the service was excellent price great only drawback is that their is no door to the restaurant area the noise from the bar can be quite loud

We had a lovely meal, good service and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back very soon, can highly recommend. Tyvm😊

Stayed in the area and had a couple of takeaway meals from the pub. Both times the food was ready at the assigned time , packaged really well and absolutely delicious. As a family we had a variety of different food including vegetable lasagne, burgers and fish and chips. I had the beef lasagne and the steak pie ( not at the same time) and both were gorgeous. Would definitely recommend this pub for food and I am very fussy about my food.

Great food ! Lovely homemade food which is reasonably priced. Would highly recommend a visit or even just a takeaway. We only stumbled across this pub in lockdown and it’s now our favourite place to get a takeaway.

Lovely Sunday lunch great service and amazing value for money meat tender gravy scrumptious and only downside the flys

Lovely place to have visit. Great beer and such a great atmosphere. Staff and landlord are a pleasure and very welcoming.

We were on the campsite round the corner and spent a rainy afternoon in this pub. It’s very nicely decorated and had lovely atmosphere. The staff are nice and friendly.

Called in for a pint after our walk with Stanley our clumber spaniel and landlord very friendly and pub well organised due to COVID-19 Popped back again during the week for an evening meal and the service and food again was excellent, the steak was tasty and the sides and pudding all homemade Had to return for Sunday lunch and wasn’t disappointed, if you are in the area you must visit

Only stayed 1 night. We called the number supplied when we arrived and the owner Luke was with us in minutes! Pint of milk in the fridge, tea coffee and sugar waiting for us which is perfect after a long drive. We had tea in the pub that is attached to the property. The food was lovely and not too expensive. The staff in the pub were amazing, a lady called Ann went above and beyond to help us out, so Thank you so much for helping us. The house is cosy, perfect for what we needed, 3 good sized double bedrooms and some games for the kids to play. We couldn't hear any noise from the pub, pool table dartboard and as mentioned lovely food and a great atmosphere. Thank you to Luke and the pub team for a Lovely stay!

We picked this pub by chance as it was 5 mins from where our friends lived. We were having a reunion and staying with friends in Thornton-le-Moor. Menu was very good. Plenty on the plate, had a starter and main. There was no room for a pud which was a real shame. The manger/owner was very helpful. Staff that waited on us were very good. I would recommend very much and will retun next time we are in the area.

While in North Yorkshire we visited this public house who served meals. We ordered steak and ale pie. It was dreadful. The meat was tasteless and the pastry was horrible. I'm over 70 and I have had pastry from all over the world but I have never tasted or seen pasty like what we were given. I could never recommend this pub for food.

We called in here for an early dinner as staying nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed our main courses, but the tart we shared was a bit of a let down. Good family run business with friendly efficient service

staying locally in a cottage, and this became our home from home, great food friendly staff and locals, and as a bonus dog friendly

Nice friendly atmosphere, packed with locals which is a good sign. Dog friendly and they are made welcome as were we.Chap behind the bar was busy but helpful.Our meals were pretty good. The chip shop supper was a great idea and went down well. Steak pie full of filling! A decent menu full of traditional pub food. Deserts appeared homemade and again left empty plates.Our only issue was the bbq chicken in the basket meal was very very greasy. All in all a decent local pub with decent pub grub.Would go back

We stopped to meet friends and had a lovely Sunday lunch and jam Roly poly! All reasonably priced. We stayed longer to sample a few pints of theakstons afterwards!

We returned here after a marvellous Sunday lunch last year. We were ignored when we arrived then waited 25 minutes for our starters. We both chose the pork but the whole meal was completely bland. We decided not to stay for dessert so left our table to pay the bill. After waiting several minutes the waitress told us we pay at the bar. Needless to say we cancelled our reservation for the following week.

Nice local just 2 doors away. Didn't want to cook so knew it was pie night. Lovely steak and cheddar pie and chips.

We had previously had an evening meal here 2 years ago, so whilst in area thought we would call in for lunch. It was quiet but food was good like the last time we visited.Had the steak pie & gammon both £10 ish . Dogs are welcome in bar area & there is a jar of treats so your dog can enjoy a biscuit whilst your eating.

Lovely village pub. We visited when staying at the local caravan park and ate here twice, fab both times with good portion sizes and reasonable prices. Lovely to see a proper village pub rather than somewhere fancy and over the top, or a chain brand.

Stopped by after staying at nearby Caravan park which is 5 minutes walk away , although along a country lane only pavemented part of way . Lovely little local pub. Portions not overly big and choice on menu not large. But service and food quality fine, dogs allowed. Well used by locals

A very traditional & friendly country pub, serves home made food, none of that chain pub rubbish. A very popular pub with visitors from a near by caravan site especially at weekends.

Here's a tip, don't eat too many sweets in the car on the way to this pub!

Have visited Otterington Shorthorn a couple of times whilst on holiday in the area and always received a warm welcome.

We have been going here for more than a year now. It's not far from our caravan park so we visit most weekends. The staff will do anything to help and make your visit a good one.

9 of our close family dined for Sunday lunch. We were seated in the dining area and our orders were taken promptly. Our family included 3 small children so they were served from the children's menu which was very good. All in all the Sunday lunch was great. We would certainly visit again.

Staying just down the road, lovely roast dinner ,friendly welcome, good atmosphere, good value highly recommend

This is our local from the caravan site. Lovely old pub and great measures of vodka. Our dog is very welcome and food is great!

Three of us booked lunch. We had three courses for £12.95 and each one was delicious. We were very impressed to get a selection of five fresh vegetables besides mash and roast potatoes. We will be back.

We where staying locally and decided to eat here on our last night.

We were staying at nearby campsite and called here for food. Roast dinner was beautiful, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Would recommend

Stayed at the caravan site nearby last week called in at the inn a couple of times good food and ale. Warm welcome very accommodating when picking and choosing from the (locally sourced) menu, say what you fancy eg sausage dinner rather than sausage and chips and if they can they pull from other menus they do and make very tasty meals. Ale well kept and help in choosing a nice bottle of wine. Very reasonable prices.

We called in at the Shorthorn Inn for lunch after visiting Northallerton. It’s a small country pub along the A167. There wasn’t many people in the pub and we managed to get a table straight away, there was no table service and we had to order at the bar which wasn’t too much of an inconvenience with it being quiet upon our visit.

Visited whilst caravanning at Otterington park just 5 minutes away. Set on a busy road junction, (dont let the kids play outside), limited car parking space. The food was good. Well cooked, good portion sizes and well presented and very good value for money. Table service in a reasonably sized dining room. All in all, a very pleasant evening.

We decided to eat here and were very pleased with the quality, choice and portions of food provided. Friendly pub.

Being new to the area, we tried their Sunday Lunch which was excellent in quality and value. Good service as well - we'll be back soon!

Being new to this area we are trying all the local pubs for Sunday Lunch, we will be coming back. Nice ambience, friendly staff, good value for money, and the food was excellent.

had a meal here as part of a family celebration and once again we found a freindly welcome, good food and drink, a good varied menu with plenty to choose the carvery sunday dinner was very good with ample local fresh vegetables and recommend to any to try this value for money hostelrie

Went on Friday 22nd September for the wine tasting event and 4 course meal.

We stopped for Sunday dinner after visiting the Thirsk bird of prey center. Very glad we stopped here. Really nice menu and the food was excellent. We should not have had the soup as a starter. Tomato soup was a meal on its own. Followed by the Roast with massive Yorkshire and fresh veg 5 different. Veg. Pity no room for a sweet. It was well served and very friendly atmosphere. Hope we come this way again.

Having spent 2 days in the fabulous campsite down the road we tried the local pub. Warm welcome great choice on the menu friendly atmosphere and great service. It just helps ensure we will be coming back next year again

A lovely pub staff friendly and welcoming. We were a group of 6 adults,2 kids &2 dogs and they but some tables together for us in the bar area. We had various meals and all lovely. Would recommend and will be back when in the area.

A warm and welcoming visit. The food was well prepared and presented. I had the homemade tomato soup followed by Chicken Parmesan with salad, chips and garlic bread. My husband had spring rolls with a sweet chilli dip followed by Fish Goujons, chips and peas. Excellent pub food. The staff were vlvery pleasant

just got back from a visit to this pub , the owner was warm and welcoming, we had starters and mains and I had a home made pud , my hubby said the steak was cooked to perfection , my lasagne was beautiful and the salad and chip accompaniment was excellent , the bill was very reasonable too ,as we had a fair few drinks , I would definaetly recommend a visit .

Real nice meal ,nicely presented good quality food and plenty of it,polite and helpful waitress good atmosphere for a small country pub

Stayed at the Solberge Hall Hotel, but ate here based on th ereviews. And they aren't wrong. Very friendly staff, lovely food and great value. They do have early bird menu as well which was extensive. Cracking find

Have visited 5 or 6 times now and has been equally great on each occasion , always a warm friendly welcome and atmosphere, good food ,good service and well priced.would highly recommend

We booked a table at the last-minute on a busy Saturday night as it was dog friendly and were not disappointed. Our dog was made very welcome as were we by the landlord, serving staff and locals. Our meals were beautifully cooked, all homemade and very reasonably priced. We really enjoyed our evening; thanks to everyone for making us all so welcome.

Visited quite a few times for Sunday lunch and it is absolutely fantastic. Proper old fashioned country pub selling proper pub grub at very reasonable prices. Service with a smile and super food. We love it there 5*
