Plenty in Hambleton

Extremely rude nasty man, I presume is the owner. His attitude to customers is so negative. Perhaps he should retire? Will not visit again ever. Not that he’d bother. Feel sorry for the young girls working along side Mr Grump.

Lovely café with friendly staff and a great selection of delicious food. Bacon rolls and coffee are fabulous. Just the job for a rainy Sunday morning. No hesitation in recommending this place.

Great little place. Was recommended to eat here by Kenny Crack and was not disappointed! I can highly recommend the sausage sandwich which was excellent.

A wonderful place the young handsome grill man was lovely and made us a delicious bacon & egg butty. We will definitely be back.

Tried this place while on holiday. Got 2 mochas and 2 sandwiches. Coffees were good and the sandwiches were ok, just a little bit too much mayo in the chicken and bacon needed more chicken and bacon. The young lady who served us was extremely lovely and even though she was clearly exhausted as it was a hot day and we called near closing she was pleasant and smiley. The older gentleman maybe needs to learn to bark at his staff when there are no customers in the shop. He created an awkward atmosphere and while I understand the pressures of running a place like this especially in the heat he needs some lessons in staff appreciation. Look after your staff and they look after your business.

The “2” is for the seats in the sun. This was the nice part. The service and quality of coffee was terrible. They need to realise that latte is not just a mug of coffee made with hot milk. The milk was boiling hot - this is not how coffee is made - the taste was minimal and a skin formed within a few seconds. We both left our coffees. We were going to “Yorks of Thirsk” next door but they were closed - next time we will wait for them opening at 10.00 - we will not return to “Plenty”.

Visited here after an over nighter for the races for breakfast. The older man cooking with 2 younger members of staff was the most obnoxious, rude and nasty price of work. Rude to customers, spoke to the staff like something he had trod in. It is quite clear he doesnt like his job and for the sake of others he needs to give it up! If we hadn't already placed an order we would have left. Terrible experience, does not deserve your money and the coffee was terrible.

We can highly recommend the spiced cauliflower soup and a roll. Very tasty and warming on a cold rainy day!

Can't fault this place ... another trip to Thirsk and no question where we were going for our lunch. Great food , service was polite and helpful, especially as was near closing time but were still given what we asked for. Great value for money considering the portion size. Looking forward to returning again soon . Thank you..

Really like this place. Highly recommend the salad boxes or the soup it can get quite busy at times. Friendly chatty staff.

I was going in to order 4 ham and cheese toastie sandwiches and when they were ready they shouted me and said "man in the red shoes" first of all I'm not a man I'm a woman and second of all I don't think ill be coming back here again not unless they apologise to my face I am writing this while I have the balls to sit inside their own shop waiting for food poor customer service 1 star

Staff did very well when abused today by a tall aggressive man who started shouting at everyone demanding to be called a woman, which he very clearly was not. The staff got him his food which he had ordered prior to his aggressive behaviour, and made him leave as quick as possible. Very much appreciated.

We came to the shop and asked for 2 coffee and 2 cakes they told us the close in 30 mins so we couldn’t have cups or plates just paper cups and plates because they don’t want to do any more washing up … so rude to another customer who waited 15 minutes to be served to be told it was to late for food… never returning

Stopped at Plenty for lunch and we weren’t disappointed. Staff were good and the tables outside in the sunshine were clean and well placed. The food was exceptional , well presented and very tasty. The Tuna , Cheese and Red Onion Toastie was packed full of filling , well prepared and very tasty. The wife’s Tuna and Salad Long Brown roll was again packed full with very tasty ingredients so much so she thanked the owner for the quality of the roll on leaving , complimenting him on delivering one of the best lunches she has had served from a cafe/sandwich shop. Well done all at Plenty , see you again no doubt. Thank You !!!

Very busy long queue lots of different type of food but there was a long wait for food it was very tasty and good for value very friendly staff it was a nice greasy spoon

We ordered a panini, sandwich, iced latte and hot chocolate. All 10/10. Nice and efficient staff with very cute dogs sleeping behind the door. If you’re in Thirsk you have to go here.

Wish we hadn’t bothered going in … the man behind the counter was so rude and abrupt while we were trying to place a small take out order (but looking at other reviews on here we are clearly not the only ones to have found this!). Wish we had chosen one of the many other lovely looking sandwich shops/bakeries in the area instead.

Food was average, staff were rude, made you feel like you didn’t dare order anything else. Told there was no hot food, then stood there as they made the next customer hot food. May as well have thrown my food at me, no words exchanged, no thank you, no goodbye, no thank you for buying lunch and drinks for 6 people from us. Then as we were sat outside, with 30 minutes until close, they began obnoxiously packing away the outside tablets and ripping the signs up. Wouldn’t return

I was welcomed by two charming staff. I had a lovely strong cup of tea (not as easy to find in Yorkshire as it ought to be) and a lovely breakfast roll with sausages. There is a lovely atmosphere at this cafe. The food is made on the premises and, indeed, the gentleman was preparing fresh sausage rolls when I went there. I will definitely visit again.

This place has sadly changed. Admittedly it is busy but the owner never communicaes with anyone. We ordered £17.00 worth of food and sat down to eat it. Then he would not even give us a glass of tap water. The girl was apologetic and obviousy embarrassed because of the refusal. Shame. In future we will go to Upstairs Downstairs the delicatessen opposite. We go to Thirsk as visitors.

Excellent gluten free fry-up and fully knowledgeable of coeliac/gluten free food preparation and cooking. I was offered hash browns instead of the sausage, which wasn’t gluten free, which was a refreshing change from generally just having items ‘removed’ from a dish if not GF! Extra bacon too and to finish it off the GF brown bread was delicious.! Service excellent and the staff are super friendly. Will definitely be going again.

I visited at least twice a week for my lunch, have done for a few weeks now and the food is nice and tasty but the staff are just plain rude. And what I assume is the owner (the South African guy), is just rude to his staff. Treat your staff with respect rather than humiliating them in front of customers, he only picked up the wrong sauce!! They also seem to make their prices up, considering I go in regularly and get the same thing, it seems to be different most times. Best off going to Yorks of Thirsk (which is literally 2 doors up!)

Great bacon sarnie coupled with friendly good humoured service. There appear to be many returning locals. We took our sandwiches away, but it is possible to sit down inside.

What a nice discovery. Alex is a great cook/chef and the hospitality is marvellous. Highly recommended thankyou

Visited Plenty today for a bite to eat and a drink as we have done on many occasions. Ordered a sandwich and a savoury, a regular coffee and a latte. Was given our food immediately and informed the drinks would be brought to us at...

After several months away from Thirsk we returned today. Plenty has always been our choice and today we weren’t disappointed. Friendly welcome and good quality and value sandwiches. Excellent coffee, and as we dined in it was served in proper mugs, not cardboard cups. Hallelujah!

Great Coffee, good soft drinks selection, nice cakes, and wide selection of snacks and sandwiches. Sat outside on a lovely bright afternoon. Delightful.

Although there is limited inside seating most seating is outside between the clock tower and the bus stop so great for people watching whilst you snack and there is a great selection ranging from wraps,toasties panini,sandwiches to a full range of tray bakes.Other reviewers may...

Visited Thirsk on route to Whitby at 8am Nowhere open for breakfast but owner of Plenty made us a delicious Sausage bacon & egg roll & a coffee

Situated just behind the clock tower in the main square in Thirsk, with plenty of outside seating. Great place to sit and watch the world go by whilst partaking of excellent fresh coffee and cakes at a reasonable price.

Terrible. Would not recommend. Zero customer service. Two people stood behind the counter, the door was open. I asked if they were open and the man behind the counter responded: “Does it look like we’re open?!” Rude. When yes, it did look like it was...

Asked for coffees and teas wouldn't let us put our own milk in! No jugs or anything else offered to put the milk in so left. How ridiculous!

We always have salad boxes from here. The value is good. We have never had cooked food. The salads are very economical and plenty of variety. You do have to be prepared for the staff to not small talk. They do not have time and...

I use this cafe now and again but after today i will never go again. I ordered 2 wraps, cheese on both as well as a cake and 2 sausage rolls and paid for them. Then a boy with curly hair started to make them....

Stopped off on way home. Tastiest sandwich I have had for ages, so fresh and possibly the nest flapjack I have ever eaten! Brilliant!!

Ordered a take- away full English and cappuccino…. The coffee was on fire- milk just left to boil away under a steamer. Burnt and horrid. The food was the greasiest thing I think I’ve ever eaten. Literally swimming in oil- my partner watched it ‘cooked’...

We stopped for coffees and a snack. The coffees were good and the sausage rolls too. The service is less friendly and a case of get in and out quickly. I felt awkward asking for things as the staff member I was dealing with was...

Stood at the doorway to ask for some sugar for the coffee I'd just bought. Rude obnoxious man behind the counter shouted something unintelligible at me which I think was something about only 4 people allowed in the shop. At this point I'd not even...

We spent a few hours in Thirsk recently and wanted a quick, inexpensive snack at lunchtime. We came across Plenty in the Market Place. My husband and I both orders the ham and cheese toastie which was probably the best ever toastie I’ve had! Proper...

Our Sunday morning treat is a trip to this place for a sausage/bacon sandwich or a delicious homemade cake with coffee. Great service, extensive menu and reasonably priced. We are lucky enough to be near to this place and enjoy a seat by the river...

Popped in here initially as I was passing through, and now make sure I stop off each time I am near Thirsk. Have introduced my mum too, and she is also sold. We have never been disappointed in the coffee (my choice is always a...

Stopped in for a quick lunch and were very impressed with the range of dishes available. Very Covid compliant surroundings which was good. My wife had a jacket potato which was generously filled, and I had a coronation chicken bap with a bowl of spicy...

Fabulous freshly made food all served by very friendly staff. Excellent prices too. Very enjoyable. Stopped for a snack but decided to have lunch and glad we did. The food set us up for the whole day. The staff were just first class.

Had a pastel de nata, Portuguese cake to them! and an orange and polenta bun. Totally delicious. Tea in a mug gets more points. Nice coffee too. But we ordered take out sandwiches. I had beef and horseradish. Big lump of gristle in the middle...

3.20 for a small finger bun, allegedly containing ‘chicken and bacon’ filling, which it transpired was predominantly mayonnaise. I had one bite and threw the rest in the bin directly outside the shop in disgust. Absolutely awful. I’ve never felt so ripped off and definitely...

it was the best start to my Sunday, especially after lockdown!!!! wonderful bacon sandwich, real bread, real bacon, and I'd say about the best coffee in the UK :D thank you <3

Best in town best sausage rolles best in town all staff are friendly and helpful prices are reasonable open 7 days a week too.

On the outside this looked like an unassuming sandwich shop but when 7 of us descended the owner set about making the experience very pleasant. Their walls are lined with options, the food was quick but delivered to good restaurant standards, the food was tasty...

I would like to say how good my smoked salmon/cream cheese bagel was but I can’t as it looked good my wife took it and gave me her coronation chicken !!! Food was lovely and freshly made and it was nice to sit outside in...

Popped in to Plenty for takeout sandwiches; the staff were extremely friendly, the service was prompt, the fillings looked fresh and appetising. The prawn sandwich did not disappoint.

We stopped off for here for a bacon and egg roll and a sausage and egg roll with coffees. The food was freshly cooked and very tasty. Overall good service and good value. You can sit outside as well as inside.

Stopped off on Saturday for a coffee with parents following a look around the shops, the staff were lovely &amp; the presentation of the food on the counter was impressive, we sat outside making the most of the gorgeous weather, the latte was lovely with no bitter aftertaste, bought 3 sausage rolls to take away, gosh they were delicious, so filling, won’t be our last visit! Make sure you look at the knitted characters covering all the bollards in the market place. The cafe is dog friendly &amp; they are welcomed both inside &amp; out.

Great service and great food. order came wrong but was quickly rectified and complimentary cakes were given as an apology. Would highly recommend

Was recommended to me, so I grabbed a sandwich to takeaway. Really nice selection of sandwiches and jacket potatoes. All the salad and fillings looked freshly prepared.The team behind the counter were lovely, had a good laugh with them. The sandwich was really good and great price. Will definitely be back.

Superb little eatery, right on the market square. Delicious fresh food and a very yummy Tuna Panini has by us. Twiggy the dog has a sausage, which needless to say, did not touch the sides! A perfect lunch stop with masses of friendliness and good service.

I’ve visited quite a few times for lunch as it’s an easy option. The sandwiches and salads are really great. Loads of fresh choice.

Called today at lunchtime and luckily got the window seat facing the small market on this superb weather day !

Called in for a sandwich that took a while , but worth the wait , hot beef and onion which was delicious, good quality ingredients, just not enough filling. Will be returning

We called in here for a light brunch. We enjoyed a couple of lovely coffees as well as an unusual ‘sausage roll’ which was lovely. We had a tart trying but unfortunately failing to be a portuguese pastel de nata - It was a shame but not really good.

Plenty has some character and appeal due to a good, home made range of filling dishes and reasonable prices. There is seating outside and on two levels inside. The decor is interesting and books are on offer for a local charity. Service is brisk and helpful. The large windows offer good views of the high street and there is low level lighting which adds to the cosy feel of the interior. Recommended.

The food is incredible and the staff is so nice! I kept coming back during my visit. I would highly recommend coming here!

Visited twice in 1 day!!! Hubby had a bacon and black pudding sandwich as soon as we arrived in Thirsk. There was lots of black pudding and it was perfectly cooked. We were only in Thirsk a few hours, as we were just passing through on our way home. Anyway, hubby was so impressed with his breakfast, we went there for a take-out lunch. He had ham and cheese, said the cheese was strong but not over-powering. I had coronation chicken. Both served with salad and very soft fresh rolls. Good selection of crisps to go choose from, as well as homemade sausage rolls, and cake bars. Would definitely use again if in Thirsk.

We had a coffee stop here and sat outside in the sunshine. The coffee was hot,strong and in a big mug. It was a reasonable price.

The sandwiches here are great, lots of choice of fillings and a really decent size. The bread is soft and fresh and they are good value. There’s a few tables instead and out but it’s very small. Lots of option of hot and cold food and cakes.

Visiting Thirsk, we chanced upon Plenty. The takeaway boxed salad was very fresh and tasty and the staff were very helpful. Happy to accommodate my request. Enjoyed lunch on the benches in the Square nearby on a beautifully sunny day.

After a walk along the river and through Aldborough we needed lunch and came across this cafe / sandwich shop in the main square. The sandwiches were excellent - we went for the large option and for the price the sandwich was amazing and very tasty. It was great to be able to choose filling options for the salad to really personalise the sandwich.

First time visit, The waitress had long hair not tied back, when she bent diwn it trailed on the food prep service....a real turnoff! Final gripe is the waitress wore blue gloves but did everything wearing them...food order, taking the money, food prep etc. I would prefer no gloves and seeing staff wash their hands.....would not visit again

I have been to Plenty several times in the last few weeks, particularly as I am very partial to their sausage buns. Very tasty. I have had other sandwiches too and overall the food is excellent. Very good service too and some of the staff will happily chat away to you whilst they work. Prices are fair too. Might actually pop in again tomorrow.

Abrupt & curt service. Please and thank you's might help along with a customer service training course. The food was so bad i binned it. Rubber and clearly reheated. If you cant cook fresh food to order dont work in the catering business. Has to be the worst eating place in Thirk. Go elsewhere as over priced for food i would not even give to my dogs.

My wife and I take our grand-daughter out every Thursday for a walk around Boroughbridge and usually stop to have a cuppa and a scone - Boroughbridge seems well supplied with cafes. My daughter said she'd heard "Plenty" was nice so we thought we'd give it a try. Two decaf teas and two cherry scones, £9.90! I went in to ask how much the tea was to be told it was a 50p surcharge over a speciality tea price of £1.70, I think a normal tea was £1.50. Without hesitation I said I was not paying that price and asked for my money back. I was told that the price was on the board - there is no mention of decaf tea let alone it somehow being more specialised than speciality tea to such an extent that it attracts it's own premium price. I stood my ground and insisted on my money back and it was returned. We went back to our usual cafe and had two decaf teas (same price as a normal tea) and two scones for £6.70 - that's more or less the norm in our experience.

A very good place for coffees, snacks, lunch or tea in a good location for both locals and visitors. Very nice food made to order. I don't think there are toilets, but it isn't far to the public ones.

Popped in today for a sandwich and was shocked at the great selection! The sandwiches are made fresh to order and they are of top quality. They also have a delish chocolate brownie! All the staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough to help you..would defiantly recxommend this place!☺️

I called in here on the way home after a lovely holiday and I was surprised at the selection, I was greeted by a lovely polite lady, she took my order. I was surprised that everything is freshly made in house. I ordered a cheese and onion toastie to take away, and it was delicious and plenty of filling. I would recommend this place

My husband and I were asked to leave Plenty because I asked to have my coffees exchanged, I ordered 2 cappuccinos and received 2 milky white coffees which did in no way resemble a cappuccino. We were to,d to leave and go somewhere else if we wanted a proper cappuccino because that’s how they made them! I found the Manager to be very abrupt and rude. If you cannot make a cappuccino then I suggest you do not advertise them! Instead advertise a milky coffee. I haven’t been here for a while as I find the staff miserable and they never smile or say please or thank you. I certainly won’t be going back. I will go to another cafe, thanks for the advice. And for your information I do know how to make coffees I have trained correctly and noticed your mach8ne has the correct settings, your staff and yourself need to learn how to froth and stretch milk.

Rude, obnoxious man who had no customer rapport at all. He was wearing a glove to handle both money and food, when I pointed this out as bad practice in food hygiene he told me to go elsewhere if I was not happy. So I did. I will not return

So let’s ignore that they are charging £6 for reheated sausage and bacon and address the terrible customer service!! So we called in for breakfast before heading home my partner ordered while I chose a table outside she was surprised that they were heating food up in the microwave but never mind it looked nice so she payed and joined me at the table, two bites in a very rude man came out and said we charge extra for sitting in, you should have told us if you weren’t taking away, a bit flustered we offered to pay the difference(we weren’t asked when ordering if we were eating in) he said it didn’t matter but to make sure to say we are staying in next time(we already knew there wasn’t going to be a next time) so we now feel uncomfortable and discuss wether to leave, I want to stress as well that there was nobody else at any other tables or inside ordering, anyway as we had already starting eating and offered to pay the extra we decided to stay, one minute later the same man came back out and snatched a bag from under our sandwich’s and said il take this then as you don’t need it!! I was shocked by this terrible level of service we picked our food up and ate in the car instead, I can only imagine that with this attitude the only reason this place stays open is because of tourist who don’t know any better as they won’t revive any repay custom acting like that! Such a shame as it’s in a lovely spot!

Called in to Plenty before heading up to Newcastle yesterday morning. As always we were served with a smile and the food was excellent. Best way to start the day!!! :-)

Today I called Plenty from my workplace to make an order over the phone to collect when ready. I was told 'You are too late Madam, there is a queue out of the door, maybe you should come and queue like everybody else'. The gentlemen (perhaps the wrong choice of word) then proceeded to put the phone down on me! I called back straight away to ask for an explanation and was told they were very stressed with the lunch time rush. Again, the phone was put down on me.

Its a quaint little cafe in the Market Place, it was very cold inside and should have heaters switched on.

On a 3 day coach trip, we had a short stop in Thirsk, were we found this cafe in the Market Place. They have seating inside and outside.

I ordered a bacon sandwich and saw them cook it in the microwave! I asked and the lady said it is cooked before hand and then re-heated in the microwave! She said if they cooked them from fresh for every customer we would have to wait a long time? What like everywhere else?? I wouldn't re-heat bacon at home so I would defiantly not expect to have to pay for a re-heated bacon sandwich!If I had old cooked bacon in the fridge and new fresh bacon in the fridge and someone came to mine for a sandwich, I would defiantly not heat up the old bacon for them. Don't know about anything else in the shop but the re-heated meat is not a good thing.

While visiting Thirsk we stopped for a coffee &amp; a cake. We sat outside watching the world go by as it was a really nice sunny day. The coffee was ok, I had to go in and ask for my cake as it was forgotten about, but they were very apologetic.

Could not fault a thing - busy Saturday lunch time - wonderful food and service at incredible value for money. Thank you - will be back!

We were just passing through at lunchtime and decided to stop for something to eat. We chose Plenty at random and were pleased with what we got. A pulled pork and a beef and onion sandwich were freshly made for us, washed down with good coffee. It was a nice day, so we sat on a bench in the market place and watched the world go by as we ate. We've paid a lot more for worse lunches than that.

We often stop here for a bite to eat on our way to Filey and Scarborough we always get the most amazing sandwiches and this time a chicken , mozzarella and pesto panini it was very good defiantly a great place for lunch and moving snacks.

A wonderful menu, plenty of choice, and everything is made fresh infront of you.Cold and hot sandwiches, sausage rolls, panini, soup, jacket potatoes, salad boxes, tea, coffee, soft drinks, crisps, and a small selection of sweet treats.Our sandwiches were delicious, plenty of filling. Staff were very friendly.

Charming and interestingly decorated little cafe. The food was lovely and the staff were friendly. Poached eggs on toast is a favourite and they served it perfectly.

On a visit to Thirsk with friends on Saturday we came across the best place to have a quick lunch in town. For the size of the place the choice was fantastic and everything is cooked or prepared fresh. You can sit in or at a table outside in the marketplace.We walked all around the town looking for something good and we certainly found it. WARNING... Don't miss this one especially the omelettes !!!!

Stopped off to refuel whilst out on a bike ride. Chose here in preference to the typical chains on most high streets (you know who I mean) and was very impressed. Sandwiches freshly made with plenty of filling and very tasty. Cakes looked very appetising too but was meant to be getting fit.
