Pipe and Glass in East Riding of Yorkshire

We managed to get a booking for the first night, after a cancellation through no fault of the Pipe and Glass. Now the exceptional food and service, goes to prove their Michelin star was well earned. Nothing rushed although they was fully booked. Staff were attentive without being over bearing. We were given time to look at the menu and specials. A couple of tasting canapé arrived on mentioning my cheese allergy staff took the time to produce another canapé to enjoy. The starters arrived the ‘Proper Prawn Cocktail’ following the main courses when we were ready. The a nice period before any orders for afters and any coffeesWhen the bill arrived we had a large gift voucher (first time we had mentioned this) this was taken happily, we actually had a slight credit left so we plan to visit for a pub lunch during the summer.Was it value for money - YES you have to remember it’s a Michelin restaurant.Would we go again - YES when ever a special meal is called forWould we recommend the Pipe and Glass - YES of course

We were so incredibly lucky to be able to book a Christmas Lunch Takeaway from the P and G despite all the lockdown restrictions. The wonderful lunch that arrived all beautifully packed and presented exceeded expectations which were already incredibly high. The parsnip soup was sublime, potted crab amazingly fresh and the Turkey lunch and trimmings were just fabulous. Special shout out to the truffle mashed potatoes, chocolate pudding and mincemeat palmiers were superb but had to wait for the following day! Just perfection.Thanks for saving Christmas, James and Kate!

The food, atmosphere and service may be exceptional but we will never find that out! We were bought a very generous gift voucher for use at the Pipe and Glass, understandably we were excited even though they are closed due to being in tier 3. But pubs and restaurants are able to offer a takeaway service during this time to keep the business afloat! So we requested a New Year’s Eve takeaway and some wine but upon a returned phone call were told that their gift vouchers are NOT redeemable against their takeaways! But not to worry they last 12 months, haha when they actually open I expect we’ll struggle to get a table as they won’t want prepaid bookings! I find that extremely unfair that they have already received the money for the voucher but are not willing to let us use it! The gift is now tainted as I would never want to eat there, I’d rather support smaller more local businesses with my actual cash!

Visited here for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the whole meal. All offerings on the menu sounded delicious and all the dishes we had really were outstanding. Staff were superb and were very attentive even whilst keeping a distance. Would highly recommend.

Wow. From the staff, ambience, little touches and the food, everything is a wow factor. Regarding Covid, we felt very safe. The food was truly exquisite. The pork starter, steak and the 5 ways to love chocolate, was just amazing. I can’t rate this hotel and restaurant enough and will definitely visit again. It was our anniversary and the little sweet treats put in the room were scrumptious, and the little chocolate shard with happy anniversary on it was such a lovely surprise. I will tell everyone about the Pipe and Glass!!

What a fabulous place!! We had Sunday lunch here and it was incredible. The service was perfect and the food was outstanding. I cannot recommend this enough. We will be back

Mrs G reached a milestone recently so we lunched at the Pipe and Glass en route to the Wolds. It was excellent. We felt very safe,and staff were extremely helpful. There is a wide range of food on offer, and the halibut was superb. Prices are not astronomical., reflecting the high quality food,, it's presentation and staff service.It's a 60 mile drive for us but very worthwhile. We will be back.

Fantastic venue and amazing food, Rebecca served us this evening and she was amazing, perfect customer service skills, polite and attentive. Will definitely be booing again. Thank you very much

If you are looking for your hair to be blown back by some concoction of rare and unusual ingredients this is not it. If you are looking for the very best of the dishes you love then look no further. We had Fish and Chips, Scallops, Pate, and I had a sticky toffee pudding for desert. Yes I can pay £6 for Fish and Chips and 50p for a microwaveable sticky toffee pudding - but - to get the very best - of the things you love - you really have to front up the cash. You may think it is boring but they will surprise you. They have really rolled with the times and there are more unusual items on the menu, do the classic dishes do not become dated, have been many times - will go many more. PLEASE DO SCAMPI IN A BASKET!

My husband and I visited The Pipe & Glass for lunch today (17.10.20). The greeting was very poor and the general service lacked any finesse. The staff just don't seem to understand how to create an experience. Overall it felt like we were being processed through the restaurant.The Halibut on the Specials menu was a great main course. Everything else was fairly average and did not represent value for money.We are in very difficult times which are having a disproportionate impact on the hospitality trade but staff must realise that when people travel (in our case over an hour), to a restaurant, they do so for the experience, not just the food. Front of house needs a change of attitude ... It's very difficult to come back from a poor welcome.

Had a great night here on Friday. The food and wine was absolutely fantastic all served by wonderful and attentive staff. Will certainly look forward to our return. Thank you all very much.

We have been visiting the Pipe and Glass regularly for my birthday and it is always a lovely place to visit with amazing food. This time however, I am sad to say the experience was just not quite the same and it wasn't as special as it usually is.I appreciate we are in very difficult times, and I must say the restaurant felt very Covid secure and were following the guidelines. However, they have stopped doing some of the little things that add to the experience. You now get shown straight to your table and we didnt get any of the appetisers and fresh bread which we have always previously had. The staff seemed too busy to be bothered about offering the usual exceptional service and the initial service felt very rushed. Not the usual standard of service.If it was your first visit then you wouldn't know any different, so I expect you will still have a lovely time.However the food was all very good and we will return.

Quintessential setting, just how you would want a village pub to be. Stayed overnight and booked in for the evening meal and breakfast. Very good Covid prep. Arrived mid afternoon and had a couple of drinks in the bar, the beer was very reasonably priced. Shown to our rooms in the old lambing yard approx. 500 meters away which were excellent, very spacious, clean with good attention to detail. Walk in shower with separate bath and his n hers wash basins. Nice large dressing gowns and a fridge in the room. Very comfortabel beds. Evening meal was good but my wife found the Prawn Cocktail a little bland and my Fish Pie was nice but nothing special although the cheese wafer that accompanied it was very nice. The bread was also very good. Prices are reasonable considering it has a Michellin star and the food (thankfully) was not at all pretentious! I would say £50 per head for 3 courses excluding wine. For breakfast you fill a form in your room the night before. Got our order slightly wrong but were very quick to correct it. Lovely breakfast but - Chef please note - the fried bread & mushrooms were extremely greasy (I had better the day before at another establishment) You can also walk round the lovely herb gardens. It's clear that the owners have put a lot of time & effort into the pub. I particulalry liked the unpretentious menu & lack of foam. Would visit again

After dining here previously I had no hesitation about booking again .I was slightlydisappointed the service was not as friendly.I don’t know if it is the situation we are I but we didn’t get a small appetiser nor did we get any of the lovely fresh bread .Food was lovely just smaller portions it wouldn’t put me off going again but if it was it would be off my list of to go restaurants P

My partner booked a surprise treat pre March 20 and kept it that way until we got to the venue. A very special meal despite restrictions, flavours of Courgette with a bright orange egg was divine. Raspberry delice a show stopper. The butter, bread and mococktails superb. I've been before and will return, the service even with restrictions very impressive.

As expected the food was excellent with really good service. The Covid19 precautions could not have been better with sanitisers all over and tables so well apart. Although at the expensive end of the market it is way out on its own compared with other restaurants in the area. I must say that we both had a pint of cordial and water for which we only paid £1 each. We had a thirst on! At a restaurant in Bridlington we paid £5.80 for the same drinks. Also coffee came with lovely chocolates and we were given free refill. We shall be returning in the very near future.

Prawn cocktail very poor, pate average, fish pie bland, risotto excellent , dark chocolate millionaire pudding ok. The meal was to celebrate a birthday and was very disappointing. Not a Michelin star on this performance I’m afraid!!!

We went with friends for an evening meal as we kept telling them how much we had previously enjoyed going only to find the menu is the same apart from the specials. I had prawn cocktail which was a disappointment, very little sauce and prawns. Service was good and organised.

From the moment we arrived the welcome we received was lovely , staff friendly and nothing was too much trouble . We had lunch from a amazing menu and the desert was out of this world - Raspberry Delice, I could of eaten two. We where then taken to our room in the Lambing Yard , the room was outstanding , even down to the welcome card for our first anniversary , the bathroom taken to another standard , Bill took pictures so we could have this in our own house ! chocolates awaited us which were delicious . We walked down to the restaurant and again a lovely welcome awaited us . The evening menu again was out of this world the food outstanding , the wine list was varied and a good price range . Breakfast well what can I say - again amazing . Our whole experience was fantastic - Thank you Pipe and Glass for making our 1st Anniversary so wonderful .

My partner and I Have been hoping to try Sunday lunch here for years and we finally got in so we were both very excited to experience the famous P&G cuisine. The pub looks great and the staff are very pleasant. We both had the roast beef Sunday lunch. The beef was delicious everything else was just nice but nothing special. The Yorkshire pudding didn’t taste fresh at all. I’ve had much better for half the price. The dessert I’m afraid was very poor. I ordered a dark chocolate millionaire pudding it came with a tiny scoop of ice cream which was not enough for such a dry dessert. I ended up with a very dry pile of chocolate powder and shortbread.

What a lovely place. We stayed in the Mint Room which was really well laid out, with a lovely view of the garden and a luxurious bathroom. Service was perfect in the afternoon sat outside and also during our evening meal. Food was delicious and so was the wine. Breakfast was served in our room and what a choice! It was hot, on time and perfect start to the day. Will definitely be making a return visit.

My wife and i visited here as a belated wedding anniversary night out. We where both so looking forward to a nice night and some lovely food on our own for a change. The food overall was fantastic beautiful scallops and fishcake for starters followed by delicious lamb and halibut, with 5 ways to love chocolate and cinder toffee ice cream and a coffee to finish all superbly cooked and presented. My only problem was when i took a bite of my crab croquet there was still some shell in it which i cut my mouth on. I managed to eat the rest of my meal as the halibut was lovely and i didn't want to spoil our night. I showed our waitress when she took the empty plates away and she was suitably apologetic and informed the manager who said to her to take the halibut off our bill. That was a nice touch but i just feel that if something like that happened in my business i as manager would have come out and checked i was ok and apologised myself rather than leaving the waitress to do it. Maybe thats just me but left a sour and bloody test in my mouth. The food here is awesome but front of house maybe needs sharpening up a bit.

We enjoyed an outstanding lunch at 'The Pipe And Glass' today made extra special by the faultless service from Rebs, Marie and Gemma.The scallops starter was excellent - the fish tasting of the sea and complimented by the cauliflower puree and mussels in a light curried sauce. Even the pea-shoot garnish delivered a taste of the garden and must have been freshly picked. My wife enjoyed corgettes beautifully cooked three ways with a lovely soft cooked egg. The' Ox Cheeks' main literally fell apart on the fork ; the sauce was tasty but not overpowering and the fresh carrots again complimented the dish marvellously. The Apple and Bramble crumble was made with fresh fruit from the restaurant's garden and served with cinnamon custard and an apple sorbet. A perfect desert.There was no better way to spend a rainy Bank Holiday- thanks to 'The Pipe And Glass' for looking after us.

We had dinner & stayed overnight in a room in the Lambing Yard , which had a pretty private patio . Dinner, including the vegetarian choices, was excellent: high quality food served well & without pretension. Breakfast , booked the night before was equally impressive and nicely served.The room was lovely, contemporary and well equipped. The village , including the church, was a good place to stroll around before dinner. We’ll definitely be back again.

Had a lovely birthday meal here. The service was on point from the moment we arrived until we went home. We felt like we were at home waiting for someone to cook for us totally relaxed no rush or pressure from the staff and very helpful with the menu. Food totally lived up to expectations and no doubt about it we will be back

I guess the awards etc that this place has achieved over the years speak for themselves so this is to confirm that our expectations were met with bells on! Some places just get it right and this is one of them. We stayed in the Lambing Yard rooms and booked a table in the bar for dinner. It was our anniversary. Great food and unassuming (but great) service. We took the short walk back to our room feeling very happy. All COVID measures in place, but so subtly done that you’d hardly notice, which is refreshing. Thank you to all staff for a great all round experience and hats off to you for making our stay feel “normal” during these difficult times. Having read a recent review rating 2* it appears you can’t please some people, all I can say is go with the majority. 5* from me.

Having visted the Pipe and Glass before we were looking forward to an anniversary meal there. Sadly, the general impression we got is that the staff were doing us a favour by serving us. There is an air of arrogance about the way they treat clients. The waitress was quite unfriendly and sullen when she robotically read out the 'specials'.The steaks we ordered were pretty good but the chips were underercooked and the accompanying vegetables were not great. The dessert was not as described and very miserly.This restaurant is not cheap, for the prices charged a much better experience should be provided. We won't be visiting again.

We had a fantastic meal here for my mother in laws 60th and a great overnight stay! Nothing to fault.

We have been wanting to eat here for a while so managed to get a table outside in the sun. The level of safety was just right with hand sanitisation and one way entry. The food was spot on with the daily special of pork belly and Victoria plums being cooked to perfection and considering the extra precautions service was also super friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely tasty lunch we will be back

Very disappointed, nothing special at all. We were both excited to visit and have a meal. Food ordinary and over priced. Waitress that served us was rude when asked for the bill. Will not recommend to others. Spoilt the day !!

Having visited previously I had also spoken so highly of P&G to my partner we decided to visit for lunch. We booked on the day as the weather was stunning and we offered the picnic benches out front or a table on the Garden patio, we opted for the Garden as the scenery is lovely. Things started off good, starters were served, I had the tomato salad and my parter had the fish cake and they were stunning, exactly what I had expected ! However, we then sat with empty plates and glasses for what seemed an eternity. The table behind ours had their plates cleared, desert and wine order taken and then had their desserts served in the time it took to have our starters cleared and to be offered another drink which i feel is poor. I understand COVID has had a massive impact on service but I felt that wasn’t enough of an excuse of how inattentive the service felt. Maybe it’s because we were out back right in the end ? Mains and deserts were again stunning, my smoked Salmon was piled high and was so tasty. The deserts were scrumptious, my raspberry delice was like a fresh slice of heaven !

This is my absolute favourite restaurant in the area. It cannot be matched for service, ambience and truly excellent food. We have returned time and time again and will continue to do so. We recently visited again - our first outing since the Covid lockdown- and were absolutely not disappointed. A first rate experience every single time.

This was re booked after it was previously cancelled in March due to the corona virus lockdown.It was a well worth waiting for the experience.Don't expect cheap but expect quality.This was mosly paid for with a gift voucher for my 60th birthday from my daughters.My wife and I stayed in the Rosemary suite and it was perfect. Beautiful gardens and amazing room/terrace.Could we do this every week..noo but I would certainly recommend it for a very special treat.

As you drive up through the Yorkshire countryside you know you’re in for a treat. We were taken to our room, Lovage, a fully accessible room. I’m a wheelchair user. The grounds are gorgeous gardens, accessible, but a narrow path through the plants does test your driving skills. The room is phenomenal. Massive bedroom and fully accessible wet room. Best disabled bathroom I’ve ever seen in a hotel. Great amenities in the room, including a coffee machine. No fridge, which I would suggest for some disabled guests need medicines in a cool place. Room is fully air conditioned and was lovely and cool on a warm day. You have a private patio area with table and chairs. You can get anything from the main bar and restaurant delivered to your room. Fast, great service. We had an amazing lunch, the food was amazing and great value for what you get. The only negative in the room is the height of the bed, it’s slightly too low and hard to get off. It also creaks a little! We booked into the restaurant at night. We had aperitifs on our patio then to the main building. He’d to get the wheelchair in here due to slight door lips and tight turns with small doorways. They need a small ramp through the back door that would fix this. Anyway I got in! The table was large, spacious and a lovely, casual atmosphere. A brasserie style menu. We ordered the specials. Oyster tempura - to die for, grilled mackerel, Grouse - amazing and pork belly - show stopper. We shared the chocolate 5 ways and then a cheese board,both being amazing. The food is the best we have had in a long time. The only negative here was the service in the restaurant. Covid or not the staff are not attentive enough. Small things like forgetting our water we ordered, leaving us without a drink for too long, not asking how the food was at each course (was one only at the dessert). Whenever we needed something you waited too long, there was enough staff on, but you felt nobody was looking after you. Now the service we got in the room was in contrast immense. My back started so we did after dinner liquor coffees on our patio. They did this quickly and gave so some gorgeous petit fours and cinder toffee - get this! Breakfast you order the night before on a sheet. Amazing selection . We had it delivered to our room. Wow! Everything was excellent. So hot, fresh and great home made touches. Service was again amazing here.We will return.

Given the difficult times the restaurant trade is going through one is reluctant to be critical . However this was a fairly average meal it was predictable and worthy nothing bad but as dull as ditchwater . The main course Halibut was fairly good the starters and we had different ones were heavy and crude . The desert was particularly poor felt like it might have been created a few days ago . The service was OK but again without any flair . I would also have expected the server to have been wearing a mask . I went for a meal in a restaurant close to this one the previous week and left feeling very pleased and quite exited . This was solid fare reasonably presented and larking in any sort of spark ultimately a disappointment

Had a wonderful lunch at the Pipe and Glass today. Started with wonderful oysters, plump and delicious. Followed with fishcake and ballotine then hake and lamb. Finished with lemon verbena posset and honeycomb bites. Everything was excellent. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere unpretentious as always. The necessary anti-Covid measures were unobtrusive and well done. We were pleased to learn that booking levels are high. Given the national problem with no-shows we we happy to pay a deposit which was deducted automatically from our final bill. Welcome back, Pipe and Glass.

Finally nearly a year after our private dining event last September we came back much later than we wanted to! So lovely it was open again amid the current covid restrictions ! Everything ran smoothly and we sat in the bar after booking weeks ago which was absolutely fine! I liked it how it was was last night but also missed th hustle of the business at the bar too strangely! It was a bit cold due to the temperatures dropping loads last night but the waitress closed the windows for us as the doors now have to be kept open for air flow, with the one way system running well ! The food was as usual amazing ! I just love the fish dishes and was over the moon to see halibut on the menu but love the love the stone bass too ! Wow was it a beautiful meaty piece of fish just lush ! Hubby had the fillet steak stating it cut like butter! We had two lovely desserts drinks and starter and I opted for the bread ! Our waitress was lovely helpful attentive and professional throughout, having a nice chat at the end of the evening ! Wele back soon and hoping to god not as long this time ! Super well done and welcome back.

We had been booked since last August so we were very pleased to see The Pipe and Glass reopen so our annual indulgence could go ahead. The staff here never fail to deliver excellent service from the moment you arrive and despite restrictionS of the COVID pandemic they onace again excelled. We always stay in Sage which is a beautiful and comfortable room and on arrival it was clear it had been thoroughly cleaned with COVID in mind. The staff have the bar and restaurant area ‘locked down’ and you cannot enter without a reservation making the place feel very safe. We had drinks in our room pre dinner and service throughout the evening was excellent. The food here is superb we had courgette three ways and potted pork for starters both of which were excellent. Mains of ox cheek and sausage and mash were equally good and accompanied by sides of chips and seasonal vegetables were very filling. We did not have room for dessert but coffee accompanied by petit fours and dark chocolate honeycomb bites (posh crunchies) were excellent. Breakfast the following day was equally good and there is a wide selection on offer. Bring in next August when we are already booked in.

Recent visit to the Pipe & GlassStaff was very helpful & pleasant Starter was delicous - soup with lovely bread & butteMain - lamb was average and slightly disapointed Coffee & tiny cakes were lovely and chocolate treats were yummy The venue is nice & glad we visited

Long awaited and much needed visit to one of my favourite establishments! The chorizo jam on the starter was fabulous. Fillet steak just perfect and the chocolate plate, well what can I say! Quality and service as high as ever. Can’t wait to return!!

Back in the UK and in my native Yorkshire I thought it might be a nice idea to visit the Pipe and Glass at South Dalton, somewhere I last ate over 30 years ago!!It was a Saturday and I thought I would be lucky to be able to get a table for that evening but considered it worth trying.The signage wasn't terribly clear and I made my way through a door that appeared to lead to a Reception area. A young man appeared and wanted to know what I wanted. The ambience was quite formaI and I introduced myself, correctly, giving my name and title and asked if they had a table for later in the evening! He looked down his nose at me. "You don't look like a Doctor!" was his retort and then "We're full, I'll speak to you outside!" as he ushered me out of the establishment.My only retort was that, if full, there was little point in speaking to me outside - and I left!Who did he think he was? Rude and arrogant! I had the impression that they didn't want 'my sort' eating there! After all I might, just, make a mockery of the pretentiousness!!

During post lock down the staff were well trained into social distancing and handled everything very well.Food as always was stunning, and the veggie roast sunday lunch was greatHighlight was the pea ravioli - amazing ! A great place to visit ( not cheap ) but you get what you pay for

It is a sign of the quality of the food, the rooms and the staff that, within 2 hours of arriving home from our 6th annual visit, we have already re-booked for next year and I couldn’t think of a better venue to celebrate my 50th birthday. The staff are incredible and you are treated more like family than customers. There are lovely touches, like a birthday card when I hadn’t even mentioned that it was my birthday, they just knew I went every year around my birthday.The food is amazing every time and well worthy of their Michelin star. Really good portion sizes as well, this trip was the first time we’d managed a starter, main and desert each. Washed down with a lovely desert wine,We stayed in Sage which was beautifully decorated and appointed. As with all the P&G rooms the beds are incredible. Bumped into James MacKenzie too and he epitomised the personal approach of the staff, with the thousands of people he served every year it was clear that he recognised us and took time to talk to us.It is, without question, our favourite venue and our visit is one of the highlights of the year.

Great visit controlled by corona conditions. Well organised, attentive staff and excellent food. The ambiance is a little different though in no way detracts from the visit, drinks table served and order placed we throughly enjoyed the smoked haddock fishcake starter (x2) followed by whole lobster and stone bass on samphire. Rounded off with a lemon posset and a well priced white Rioja. Pipe & Glass has lost nothing in lockdown and is well prepared for challenges of distancing

Had a fantastic lunch at the weekend with a friend of ours over from Lancashire. Stunning food (albeit from a reduced menu) and great service taking all the right precautions.Well done to James, Kate and the Team for bringing back some normality to this strange age!

We treated ourselves to the takeaway Roast Beef Sunday Lunch from the Pipe And Glass today. The food comes beautifully packaged with easy to follow instructions given in a menu format. The quality and taste of every ingredient was simply excellent - it was just like being in the restaurant once again which, incidentally, we hope is not far away. Also wonderful to see James and Kate again, along with trainee chefs Molly and Toby. We just missed the company of all the wonderful staff.We really recommend it.

This inn is in a very attractive location and is itself an attractive historic building with a thatched roof. There is parking available and tables and chair outside in the summer. The bar is small and cosy and sells very good pub food including many of the English staples such as meat pie. The restaurant is much larger and has a waiter service as you might expect, and the menu is much bigger with many dishes. The quality of the food is excellent and it is all home-cooked. this is definitely not a chain cook-chill restaurant!

Recently attended a birthday meal with friends in the private dining room. From start to finish it was a fantastic experience. We all ate the same set menu 5 courses, the food was fantastic, the fsh platter looked stunning and didn't disappoint. The service was very attentive and friendly.Can't wait to eat here again. Would most definitely recommend.

Had to book, very busy which is acceptable but pretentious. Pub food, good but at one hell of a price. Rooms even worse, massively expensive.

Food was average at best and I have found out today that they host the Holderness fox hunting club. Not big, not clever and will now avoid like the plague

I agree with Jay Raynor's review re: the Pipe and Glass, that one Michelin star is a fairly arbitrary award. Our evening meal on was good but not exceptional. It certainly wasn't good value for money. We have had better food at non-Michelin starred restaurants, such as the Oak Bank Hotel at Grassmere, or The Cross at Kingussie. The Pipe and Glass dishes are underwhelming both in terms of their limited flavour range, and their average attention to detail. My beef hash starter tasted of, well beef hash, and was barely saved from monotony by a few spots of rhubarb chutney. My partner's home cured gravelax starter was refreshing, but too steep at £15. Our mains of guineafowl breast were ok, if a bit overcooked, as was the sprouting broccoli. There was little else on the plate, but a small pile of what tasted mainly of raw garlic. Neither of us ate that. Why would we? If one doesn't order sides, at £4.50 each, one could leave hungry. There are puddings, of course. My wife had cardamom flavoured rice pudding. The rice was undercooked. The five kinds of chocolate is bizarrely large. I doubt any normal person could stomach all that. So why prepare something so rich, so large? And why prepare mains so small? We had a mediocre bottle of house red, expensive at £20. The home truth is that the chef is neither a master of flavours, nor a stickler for detail. The service was polite and friendly, but we were served by so many different individuals, even that was rather spoiled. As for the Baron de Sigognac VSOP Armagnac: my suspicion that it was a cheaper substitute is supported by my later research. I guess a Michelin star can be seen as a licence to hike prices. I hope and expect that this Michelin star will quickly be lost. If so, the proprietors may be better able to focus on quality and less on price.

I have been meaning to visit this not so secret hidden gem for years and after today’s lunch I’m not sure why I haven’t been sooner! Popped in for lunch on the off chance that a table would be available for lunch. We were seated immediately in the bar near a cosy fire. The atmosphere is wonderful: chatty, cosy and rustic without being forced or gimmicky in any way. We decided to opt for a 2 course lunch but could easily of had a starter too! I had the deer with rhubarb from the specials board and my partner had the fish pie with greens and picked salad on the side. Both mealswere sensational and we have been lucky enough to eat in some fantastic places. The ingredients were fresh and the dishes were definitely prepared with care, love and attention. The topping on the fish pie was delicious! For dessert I had the pistachio baked Alaska which was one of the nicest desserts I have ever eaten and my partner had coffee, petit four and macaroons. The service was underrated, relaxed yet efficient and exceptional. The staff were super friendly and made us feel relaxed and welcome from the moment we walked through the door. The wine list looked so tempting and they also have their own gin selection. We are now definitely going to be regular customers!

My husband and I visited for valentine's Day and stayed over. Our visit was nothing short of perfection, the room was exquisite it had the most comfortable bed in the world, beautiful decoration and a magical "starry sky" effect above the bath. We had the sweet treats in the room to enjoy before our meal which were absolutely beautiful. As for the meal, everything was cooked with such precision and was devine. I myself couldn't manage a dessert however you do get an incredible mini selection of fudge and truffles etc. We were sad to leave in the morning. We will definitely be returning.

A rare gem! Food at its organic best.

The food & decor here are wonderful. Hope to visit in the summer & eat outside too.

We called on a Saturday lunchtime to have a meal in the bar and were pleased we had arrived early as the carpark was already almost full at 12.15pm!There is also a restaurant which takes bookings and at lunchtime the menu is the same. This is Michelin starred but not pretentious and although not cheap it was excellent and we would definitely return. I had a marinated salmon starter on the specials board and my husband had a steak sandwich and a portion of fries. The staff were all pleasant and there was a good choice of wines by the glass. I could easily have had anything from the menu and all the food that we saw other diners eating looked really good.

We visited The Pipe and Glass on a Thursday evening with 4 friends. What a superb restaurant to dine and relax. The ambiance and decor is spot on, the service second to non and the foot delicious. The restaurant was full but the service was slick and just the right speed, we were not rushed off our table and we have booked to return once again. Price wise you pay for what you get and it is worth every penny. The wine list was excellent and the selection of Gin's top notch.

We've been waiting a while to visit the pipe and glass, fortunately we managed to find a suitable date to celebrate our birthdays. The restaurant is informal and relaxed in a lovely old building with lots of character. The food was delicious, beautifully presented but generous portions, and we had a great bottle of house red which was very acceptable and only £20 a bottle. We were too stuffed for a dessert, so opted for coffees. This was the only minor complaint - the flat white was too weak, however the double espresso was great! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit andwe will definitely be making a return visit!

Booked a table for two last Sunday as I had received a voucher from my work colleagues. Boy did I enjoy the afternoon, the service was great and very friendly and helpful. The wife and I ordered the soup as a starter which was excellent and came with brie and stilton side nibbles which were sensational. For mains we had the beef with a super bottle of Bordeaux. The meal and service was outstanding and we will definitely return in the future. An excellent afternoon was had by all.

The food here is exceptional - from the amount to the taste it all amounts to high class. Also great service provided by all the staff

We have been wanting to visit for a while. We have eaten in all but one of Yorkshire’s Michelin starred restaurants now! We had a lovely table, very knowledgeable and polite, attentive service. My fish main off the specials board, a hake dish was so so good. Every dish we had was delicious, super fresh and beautifully presented. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, not at all pompous. We’re booked again to go for dinner for our next wedding anniversary and already can’t wait.

I booked the Pipe & Glass as a surprise 60th birthday for my wife and invited family and friends 12 people in total, everyone had a great time and the food was excellent would highly recommend

Visited in between Xmas and New Year early evening with our 10 yr old daughter. Food, drinks and service excellent as always. Counting down the days until our next visit!

The Pipe and Glass has a few options for dining and overnight accommodation. Wonderful Bar for drinks amd loghter meal options, Michelin starred restaurant and boutique styled overnight accommodation. Very high standards in all areas. Warm and friendly welcome and great service. The food is wonderful- top quality ingredients- lots of local sourcing. Presentation is excellent. A wonderful dining experience.

Our favourite place to eat. We have a lodge in Brandsburton so visit roughly twice a month! The staff helped plan my partners proposal to me in the lovely grounds outside. They’re always fab with our little one and nothing is too much trouble. The pipe and glass is such a special place to us and the food and staff never ever fail.

What an amazing place. The food was delicious, staff friendly and atmosphere excellent. Great meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

We have had the pleasure of dining at the 'Pipe and Glass' on Boxing Day and today ( Sunday). On each occasion the food was amazing and the service from all the wonderful staff made our visits even more special.

Came as a group of 4 for a Christmas treat. Could not fault in any way - food, location, staff, all perfect. One of the best meals we have had in a long while. Delicious.

We visited the restaurant in the 20th December for a special birthday. The service & food was excellent and we were given a really warm welcome. I will certainly return & recommend!!

This is my 4th visit , I don’t think I will be going again.

We’ve been coming along to the P&G; for a number of years now and our observations from our recent visits are that the once high standard of food is no longer inspiring. The restaurant, located in a beautiful location, still retains its charm but it is the food that has been disappointing of recent. We last visited the restaurant in December and dined in the bar area on this particular visit. One member of the group had the fillet steak which was tasteless and bland to say the least and at £33 we felt it was overpriced. Another member had the halibut from the specials’ board and again this was disappointing and flavourless. Even the waitress who served us came across as arrogant and when we asked for our bill she ‘flung’ it on the table rather than politely handing it to a member of the group. We came away feeling disappointed with our experience and will not be returning again - unless we hear the food has improved. Perhaps we are being too harsh in our opinion but for a Michelin Star restaurant the food should be better and the dining experience, special. This simply was not the case. A weak 3 stars was the group’s view.

We arrived for lunch and had drinks in a strange cramped lounge, the specials board was difficult to read and did not give the full description of the dish.The starter of rabbit was wholesome and tasty. My main course of beetroot and gin infused sea trout was different and well presented. However my partners dish of scallops were unglazed and the sauce was bland, the homemade bread was delicious.

We have stayed at the Pipe and Glass on several occasions and it is excellent. The rooms are new and a good size (if a little hot) but the real plus is the food. It is wonderful. Worth the visit on its own. The range is excellent and the staff very keen to help. I couldn't recommend it strongly enough.

I visited with my partner for the first time and it did not disappoint. The food was amazing. I had a starter of scallops. The scallops were absolutely delicious and melted in my mouth. My partner had the crab and for the mains we had the lamb and fillet steak which were equally delicious. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 out of 5 is for two reasons; the food came out I felt far too quickly, no sooner had we sat down at our table and the starters arrived. The other reason is a member of staff was very rude when we asked if we could take our drinks through to the bar. The waitress serving us however was very attentive and friendly.

Lovely atmosphere Attentive staff Food was beautifully presented Home made bread was gorgeous Good selection and also a black board choice as well

Great food quality and choice. Superb staff. Beautiful surroundings inside and out. Fine cuisine in a relaxed environment. Perfect.

Came to pipe and glass for our first visit on 28th November..we stayed overnight in the old lamming yard ..this place is amazing food fantastic service brilliant it was my partners birthday and a special treat from me ...my partner hates busy hotels and fancy restaurants even tho he can afford to eat anywhere in the world but he throughly enjoyed our experience it was nothing more than perfect ..well worth the money and the room we stayed in was lovely can't thank the pipe and glass enough for looking after us even breakfast was amazing and nothing too much trouble for the lovely girls that served us we will deffinately be coming back in the new year highly recommended to any body this place is a gold mine .. we even got a free glass of champagne with it being my partners special birthday thank you so much to the pipe and glass and all your lovely friendly staff truly brilliant ..

We came at 2 for dinner in pipe and glass the service was decent but about the food I expected much more for a Michelin star restaurant . Our dishes arrived really fast and I can admise that is really pleasant to not wait ages . The dinner started with snack who was pretty good then 2 différents bread one with sage flavour and the other one with honey flavour, nothing amazing the honey bread do not taste at all honey the sage was a bit better but both was a bit dry . Then I get a good starter” the crab” , great flavour really happy with it , then I get the halibut I was a bit disappointed , the garnish was good but the halibut missed taste he was not seasoned . Lastly I get the pudding trio of apples , and I not really enjoy my dessert it was gross even with the pudding of my friend the 5 different taste of chocolate was not really great . For finished the bill was ok no more no less . I also liked the atmosphere of the restaurant but I remain disappointed about the food , good restaurant that’s not worth 1 star .

This is our second visit to P & G but this time we chose to visit for lunch. Again I could not fault anything from our greeting at reception, friendly drinks in front of the log burner, through to the tasty lunch and the glass of house red wine. We both chose the same ... South Dalton Butternut Squash Soup and a “Proper” Ploughman’s with fab chips on the side! The soup was garnished with sage pesto and pumpkins seeds which really made it more than just a soup! The ploughmans was wonderful...both our faces lit up when we saw how big it was! ...and so so tasty! Thank you P @ G ...we recommend.

5 of us went yesterday (Sunday) for an annual Christmas/Birthday meal. We knew what to expect and were not disappointed. Warm welcome, great service, good food and wine. Excellent value for money, too. Only thing I would add is perhaps the menu could have been a bit more ambitious. The Specials menu was interesting so we all ahd scallops as a main course.

Nice to go to a Michelin starred restaurant where it isn't a set tasting menu. Standard a la carte with 4 or 5 options for each course. Local ingredients well cooked and presented, the wine list is organised into groups of food compatibility recommendations and were priced in the £20-60 range. We stayed in one of the rooms which was a separate building in the garden, really nice and comfortable. If you want something that is avant garde then this isn't it, but a fine tasty meal in a really lovely place in the countryside then it ticks the boxes.

We have been going to the Pipe & Glass Restaurant for over 50 years. In those bygone days the restaurant was only a fraction of the size that it is today, but even in those days it was popular. My daughter had her wedding reception at the Pipe & Glass. James and his fantastic team created a wonderful dining experience for all the guests We dine at the Pipe & Glass for a special occasion and when my son comes over from Singapore it is his favourite place to dine, wouldn't consider dining anywhere else. Excellent food and service. A gourmets dream.

Though we've eaten and stayed at the Pipe and Glass many times over the years, the one thing that's never changed is the standard of cuisine served here.

We visited the Pipe and Glass for a special birthday lunch. The food did not dissapoint, we had the dressed crab, which was superb, very refreshing. Our main was the spiced lamb, which was very tasteful and like butter. Desert was also lovely, all well worth the pricey cost. The only room for improvement relates to the staff, some very friendly but the person serving us was very off and we felt rushed. The table he seated us on was facing the kitchen and not really romantic for the occasion. There were other tables available. Overall enjoyable but service not matching the high standard of food.

Visited here with friends recently for lunch. Both couples had heard about its Michelin status independently and we decided to make the one and half hour journey to try it as we all really appreciate good food and an enjoyable dining experience. On arrival we couldn't believe how full the large car park was, or that the building we could see could accommodate so many people, so were surprised how deceptively spacious it is. We were about 15 minutes early so were asked if we'd like a drink but sadly my experience of the interaction was that it wasn't welcoming. The person who served us at the bar wasn't warm or friendly and just didn't provide the 'tone' I expected. We were served by various people in the course of our meal and some were friendlier than others but my overall impression was of attention to customer rapport not being that great. The food was good (although my main course wasn't that hot) but I think we all agreed that there was nothing about it which elevated it - or distinguished it - from eating at any reasonably good restaurant and it wasn't obvious, to us, why it has a Michelin star I completely understand that dining out, like most things, is a subjective experience but I think it's telling that all four of us thought that. I pay a lot of attention to detail and noticed other things, for example in the cloakrooms, that surprised me and I guess that, overall, there was not the same attention to detail from the hosts. We may have had a different experience in the evening but staying wasn't an option and we had too far to travel to make that viable. We all felt it was a very good wine and drinks menu and very reasonable. Overall, just rather disappointing for a treat we'd looked forward to for some time.

James, Kate and the team have done an amazing job in establishing the Pipe & Glass as one of the best restaurants in the country. Menu is fantastic, lots of local ingredients and suppliers. Lots of great dishes, i don't think you could ever be disappointed with a visit here.

Beautifully laid out restaurant with very cosy lounge to wait in if waiting for table to be ready. Food was excellent, the first time in ages where the vegetables were every bit as good and tasty as the main dish. The staff were brilliant, never pushy or rushing you but always around should you need anything. A bit pricey but great for that special occasion. Will definitely be back

My partner and I were so looking forward to eating here and decided we would also stay over in one of the rooms.... let's just say the photographs were so much nicer . Our room was tiny, in the photos the garden looked private but it was actually just a little open area!! I couldn't sleep as there was a giant green light over the door which I believe was an emergency light!! It was hideous! The carpet was grubby and the the duvet was too big for the cover. The only reason I am moaning is because it cost 200 pound! Staff were really friendly and helpful Food was ok... wouldn't rush back

Today was my birthday and my husband said would you like to go to the Pipe & Glass for a meal - Yes please!! This on its own was special but a throwaway comment to Shelley who greeted us about my birthday made the whole evening. We had a lovely meal with the usual great service. The evening was rounded a special pud with Happy Birthday piped onto the plate. We had not booked this as a birthday meal but Shelley picked up on a comment and made my night with her attention to customer service. Thank you, Shelley and everyone else at the Pipe & Glass

Wow, first time we have been for my birthday. What a treat, what a find not too far from where I live. will definitely be back.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with a good choice especially for vegetarians. Relaxed atmosphere and knowledgeable staff.

6 of us went for dinner. What a fab night. Couple of cheeky drinks in the cosy bar. Then dinner. The crab was lovely. The rib eye amazing. Spent a great few hours here. Not cheap but value for money. Staff are all lovely and attentive. This is our special come to place and will remain so.

Fantastic service and food. Really everything was done to a high standard this truly a place to be proud of in the local community. I would happily return. Well worth the money and the food was fantastic.

Unless you're interested in churches, and visit its magnificent church whose spire is visible for miles around, you're unlikely to take a detour to the East Yorkshire village of South Dalton, unless that is you're aware of the Pipe and Glass tucked away at the western end. This is not 'pub-food' but one of the best eateries anywhere in the area. On our latest visit, the delicious pre-dinner amuse bouches set the standard for a most enjoyable evening. In amongst the more sophisticated Goats Cheese Wellington and Sea Trout dishes, we also sampled more traditional fare, including a generous prawn cocktail, and a beautiful main-course gammon and egg. Beers and wines are reasonably priced and service is excellent. As another reviewer succinctly put it - "Everything was spot on, a little pricey but well worth it."

60th birthday meal with friends chose the private dining,with the wine on arrival we were shown upstairs to the chef’s library for champagne & canapés by our waitress for the night Shelley from the word go we all knew we were in for excellent experience two bottles of champagne later we were shown to the Hotham suite for our meal all I can say is we had a fantastic meal and were looked after all night by a very knowledgeable and helpful Shelley nothing was to much trouble for her. Will definitely be going again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We visited the Pipe and Glass yesterday for the third time, since we first visited in June and it was another amazing visit. It's a really special place to visit and everything is always perfect.

My partner and I will shortly be eating at the Pipe and Glass with a group of friends, something we do fairly regularly there. Whilst I love the ambience and the excellent service, I have been badly disappointed in the available choice for those of us who prefer not to eat meat when dining out. Even the vegetarian options provided left me cold and on one occasion my main course consisted of a large undercooked boiled onion and little else of note. I am glad to say that others in our party were perfectly happy with their choices (hence the fact that we return as a group so regularly) but there are 2 of us who lobbied to go elsewhere this time, fearing that we will once again find little to interest us amongst the non meat options (we were out-voted!). PLEASE give some more thought to putting the same variety and innovation into your vegetarian offerings as you do elsewhere, as they currently feel very much like an afterthought.

Everything was spot on, of course it's a little pricey but well worth it!!! Had the first of the season grouse, you can have it on or off the bone..... delicious!

We visited the restaurant as a birthday celebration and once again had another wonderful meal. The food was very tasty and the service was excellent. It is a special place to visit and we look forward to returning.

Enjoyed a fabulous Sunday Lunch at the 'P and G' today - the Wiltshire Coddled Egg was absolutely amazing !!! To die for! Followed by the utterly exquisite Cobnut Crusted Halibut with Lobster sauce. My husband had the wonderful 'P and G' sausages with Bubble and Squeak - again always hits the spot for both flavour and quality. Service as always of the absolute highest standard.
