Restaurant at Fox & Hounds Country Inn in Ryedale

We stayed a year ago also and decided to come back as we really enjoyed it. Rooms are comfy, very good food, good service (although they did mess our booking up reception was a bit disorganised) nice walks along the river. All in all very good, be warned this is more of an up market pub and the prices reflect that, the quality is higher than your bog standard pub, be prepared to pay for it.

I came across the Fox and Hounds as I needed a hotel near to Pickering and my others were fully booked, so we managed to book a room and a table at the Fox and Hounds. We had a lovely quiet table, the atmosphere in the restaurant area was lovely and relaxed, we reviewed the menu and the specials and I decided to go with the fillet steak and I am so glad I did, the steak was out of this world, the sauce was delicious and the portions were what you would expect from a fine dining restaurant, the sweets were absolutely fantastic. We found the staff to be friendly and knowledgeable about the food and wines. As we stayed the night we were able to take breakfast in the morning, again it was just a delight, fresh and very tasty. The wait time again were what you expect from such good cooking but well worth it. My only regret is I had beer before the meal so wine would not work for me, next time I will wait for the wine. Yes, this is now on our list of favourites and we can honestly say it was the best food for miles, dont expect to pay Mac Donalds prices and dont expect fast food, this is a really great restaurant.

We came here for my wife’s birthday and opted for the Ala carte menu. Lovely little pub, really clean and friendly staff. We didn’t look at the menu before we booked so was shocked when staff brought it to the table. The menu didn’t reflect a country pub/Inn and was pretentious and massively overpriced. There was a note at the bottom of the menu about how the chef likes to serve the food as intended, which was a red flag. When the food arrived it did taste nice enough but there was practically nothing there. We decided not to have dessert as we feared we would need to remortgage! A country pub should be about rustic, honest, wholesome food and should feel like the next step up from home. I had to remind myself I wasn’t in London wearing a tuxedo but in North Yorkshire at a country pub. Lovely little inn but need a reality check and maybe a change of supplier as I see on here there are lots of responses from the owner referencing food costs etc. We had our 2 kids with us so they had soft drinks. Expected to pay a bit more than average with it being Ala carte but nearly £200 for 4 mains and 2 drinks each, I mean really??!!

We had 2 evening meals and there was a good choice of fish and meat. It is an expensive menu but the food was excellent from the trio of fish starters and the halibut and also the Yorkshire lamb. The staff enjoy their work and are very friendly. We also had 2 excellent breakfasts with a good choice. We would have liked some fresh fruit but we really enjoyed our breakfasts.

Low responsiveness and although 2/3 empty, they don't accommodate outside guests into the restaurant.

This is a special place, its not often im really impressed but The Fox & Hound deserves lots of praise. From the fantastic menu and food to the great and friendly staff i could not pick fault. The whole place is finished to a really high standard and you can see the care and love put into every detail. The outdoor area is the best I can ever remember seeing. 8 of us had lunch ( 4 adults and 4 children ) and everything was perfect. This could become my favourite pub in North Yorkshire.

We called in as we were walking back to Appleton le Moors. The menu is very expensive but they had Mardens Pedigree on which was very tasty.

A consistently strong performance on our second visit. It’s always a concern when revisiting somewhere after a great first visit, yet the team really make the Fox and Hounds a relaxing and positive place, so good to see that our first impression was proved to be correct The team again delivered an excellent standard throughout - we will return again in the New Year

Ate here with my husband and young son. Whilst there is no kids menu, we ordered some sides for the little one, and he was more than happy! We ordered off the specials menu in the end, it was just so tempting! Food was incredible..the chocolate orange croissant bread and butter pudding was amazing! We went for 2 courses and ended up ordering dessert too! Staff were all so helpful! Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area!

Booked for dinner on Sunday. The service set the scene initially. It was friendly, professional and efficient. The menu was interesting and there were some lovely specials. The cooking exceeded all our expectations, wonderful flavours, not too big and perfectly cooked. There was real attention to detail. Clearly a very talented chef in the kitchen. I am normally too full for a dessert but I couldn’t resist the raspberry soufflé and it was beautifully light. Altogether well up to the best of the best and although not cheap we felt the quality of the food and service made it excellent value for money. Can’t wait to return and perhaps stay a night or two in the lovely bedrooms.

Absolutely fabulous. We booked at short notice on a recommendation and boy were we not disappointed. The service, ambience, food and wine were exceptional. A wonderful evening and good value for money. Great menu selection and cooked to perfection with a good choice of accompanying wines. Thoroughly enjoyed it and we will definitely be back and next time to hopefully stay as well

Called in on a very quiet Monday lunch on our way to Whitby. We were the only customers along with a couple of old men having coffee. Being in somewhere so quiet can be a worry but not in this occasion. Service professional and food excellent. Would definitely recommend.

one word fantastic. Food is amazing. service is very second to none, Chef recommendation is spot on staff very welcoming. warm and friendly

First time in the area for myself and partner but won’t be our last . Service was outstanding Food was out of this world - compliments to the chef Definitely 10/10

We visited the Fox & Hounds last night for dinner with our 2 dogs to meet up with family who live close to York. We sat in the bar. All 4 of us had the scallops to start, they were beautifully presented and very tasty. For our main course, two of us had halibut, one had the beef fillet and one had the duo beef. Again the dishes were beautifully presented and very flavoursome. We would not hesitate to recommend this inn for dinner and would certainly visit again if we are ever in the area.

This is an attractive venue in a lovely village. We were there for a special occasion so sorry not to be able to give a better account. The non-vegetarians had a good meal. However the three veggie/vegans had one option and this was not as had been described. This was particularly disappointing because we had taken time and trouble beforehand to ensure that meat-free diets were catered for. Sorry - can't recommend it.

Very rude staff who were not even prepared to look at our booking for 12 as 2 x 6. We would block their kitchen? Obviously not able to cope.

On arrival we were met by the friendly staff , we had drinks first in a lovely lounge .We were then taken to our table in a very nicely decorated restaurant and chose our food from the high end menu . (Pricing to match) The service at the start of our meal was very good and our starters were served and were beautifully presented . My wife had the courgette flower stuffed with crab which whilst it was very nice there wasn’t very much evidence of the crab . I had the ham hock and it was delicious.Our main courses - Hake for my wife and fillet of beef for myself were absolutely stunning and well presented .After the main course this is where the service deteriorated- the restaurant manager asked us if we wanted to see the dessert menu and we said yes . We then sat for ages waiting for her to bring us the menu which she obviously forgot as she kept serving other people who I believe were residents . We eventually attracted the attention of another waiter and he brought us the menu - the waitress then came to take our order but came back later to say our choice of strawberry creme patisserie tartlet were now sold out and they could offer an alternative strawberry dish which my wife accepted- however when it came it was just a few strawberries and raspberries on a small amount of crumb - the cost was still £9 !! No allowance was offered for just a few pieces of fruit . My sticky toffee pudding was excellent .After finishing our desserts we were left for ages before the table was cleared and the bill offered - again I had to attract the waitresses attention to ask for the bill which then took approx 10 mins to arrive then a further wait for the card machine.The ambience of the restaurant was excellent , it is stylishly decorated and the food was of a high quality (probably the best we have had outside of a Michelin starred restaurant) - however unfortunately the service deteriorated after the residents arrived and put a bit of a dampener on the evening - hence the four star rating .

When we first arrived we were told initially they did not have a reservation for us despite booking a few weeks ahead but had a table they could offer, later they found the booking but were uncertain which day it was recorded under!The staff here are pleasant and courteous but we found the menu choice quite limited. The main courses offered several fish choices and only steak, also the prices ranged from around £18/£19 or leaped up to £34 + We ordered starters stuffed courgette flower with crab and my partner ordered soup, both were acceptable. We'd had steak the night before elsewhere so our only other option was fish and we both had the Halibut. It was okay, nothing fantastic and my partners wasn't very warm either but for £34 each we would of expected more.Drink prices were average but all desserts were priced at £9 (can't remember if icecream was less expensive) but after a disappointing main course we decided to give it a miss. Some of the reviews I read beforehand gave this restaurant glowing reviews but sadly it missed the mark for us.

My husband and I had a weeks break in Pickering. Ate in a different restaurant each night. The meal at the Fox & Hounds was the least enjoyable and the most expensive. My husband had three tiny scallops for starter and when he expressed his disappointment at the size of it , the waitress stated that normally it was only two scallops but as they were small they had given three!!My husband’s main course was a Lobster & Crab Mac Cheese. He found the lobster was very tough and chewy. When he spoke about this at the end of meal the waitress said, ‘ Well the lobster was fresh today’, took our payment and scurried away. So in our mind a mediocre meal and staff with no care for customer satisfaction.

We ate here on Friday evening in the recently refurbished restaurant. The food was lovely and the staff were really friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Amazing, food was delicious and who would have thought butter could taste like chicken! The seafood platter was outstanding, lots of sea food.

We where staying in Cropton for the week ( about 3 miles away ) when we came across the F&H and what a find it was. We ate here twice and popped in for a drink most days. The place looks fantastic and is spotless, the staff could not be nice and more helpful and the food is top notch. The sea food linguine was the best I have ever had anywhere in the world. I love places like this that really care about what they are doing and are doing it well.

Later afternoon sitting but never the less, same friendly welcome. Restricted menu, choices made, shared starter with traditional roast beef as mains. Both agreed, the beef accompanied by the selection of vegtetables, plus the Yorkshire pudding were an excellant, re- introduction to Sunday lunches. Concurred, atmosphere and, hint of tartan had been retained in the redecoration programme but, wiil require a few visits to appreciate the "mural".

Went for the first time ever tonight with my family. We received the warmest of welcomes on arrival and were seated in the beautifully decorated restaurant. We ordered the fruits de mer and I have to say it was one of the most delicious selections of seafood I’ve had. Platefuls of langoustines, lobsters, mussels and crab. So fresh and beautifully cooked. I grew up on the west coast of Scotland and didn’t think seafood could get better than that but apparently it can! Can’t wait to go back. Special thanks to Helen, the waitress who looked after us.

The restaurant was fully booked later on in the evening for the a la carte menu but we managed to book for an early dinner where the set menu was available. This wasn't just the usual pub fare and had some interesting options. My husband had fish and chips, me the mussels. Both were delicious. There was a lovely atmosphere in this tastefully decorated pub/restaurant. The staff were efficient and friendly. The people of Sinnington are very lucky to have such a venue in their village.

Reserecting our Sunday Lunch outings, pre booked . Covid measures good and, having enjoyed many visitsto both the Restaurant and Bar, lack of diners on this occaision, did not detract from the level of service and quality of food.In anticipating another "lockdown", us oldies will be attempting to squeeze in a few more outings and, appeal to other diners to do the same!!

Lovely lunch here. Staff are very friendly and the food is absolutely superb. Highly recommend. Also dog friendly

This restaurant has always been good but under current ownership it has hit even greater heights. We had an absolutely superb meal last night. Very tasty, accomplished cooking, beautifully presented. Service was also spot on. Lovely decor, charming ambience & Covid secure.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here with my daughter. Also very impressed with the covid measures in place which helps to ensure you are relaxed and can enjoy your food. Last minute reservation but they fitted us in.

We ate here while on holiday and staying nearby. The pub has plenty of parking and outside space but we ate inside as it was September. The food selection was interesting and when it arrived was tasty. However, I am not sure whether we were just unlucky with our timing or it was normal but the people on duty did seem more interested in catching up with each other than keeping an eye on their customers. As the bar was 'off limits' due to coronavirus restrictions this did make it difficult to order and get additional drinks and the bill.

Absolutely delicious Sunday lunch. Both of us had beef which was served in a lovely Yorkshire pud along with some of the crispiest roasties I’ve ever had! The veg was perfectly cooked not over done and the cauli and leek in white/cheese sauce was great. Not that cheesy - but worked better with the rest of the meal than some greasy attempts in some places. The gravy was probably the best I’ve had anywhere. It looked like melted dark chocolate and was so rich - it was stunning.

We were staying in the area and after having a very pleasant lunch there we decided to go for Sunday lunch. There were 10 of us and it was fantastic, the menu was great, staff all very pleasant and the food to die for. A wonderful alfresco experience. In these difficult times I am pleased to say there are a few places getting it right. This is one of them.

Lovely place and dog friendly which is a bonus for us. We were made very welcome with our dog for an evening meal in the bar. Food was delicious. We had lamb and soufflé as a main. Staff were very friendly and service was excellent.

Usual friendly welcome, menus, drinks and, meal order quickly taken, very enjoyable shared starter of sea bass with sautéed potatoes,expected main meal to arrive with the same efficiency. Assumed problems in the kitchen as twice, forced to enquire when we might expect service. Whilst my wife’s ,meal was most enjoyable, mine was most disappointing as, the “aged” roast beef had areas of fat plus, having dined here on a number of occasions, know that the chef can produce a “better” Yorkshire Pudding. Possibly pressures in the kitchen, forced a less than the usual, good standard,

Such good food. Came here at the last minute, so glad we did. Every course was delicious and well cooked. Thoroughly recommend. Staff were brilliant as well.

Big decision, not really, not booked but friendly welcome with room in the bar. Good menu choices , shared starter-of trio of salmon, small fish and chips for one, fish pie for the other main. Both agreed good decision for both venue and meal.

Excellent Sunday Lunch for Three of us.Slow cooked Lamb and Roast Beef along with delicious Desserts. Great food.Gluten Free was no problem. Service very good so I can recommend a visit.

very impresses with this restaurant,food was divine, staff excellent, very attentive without being overpowering. A place not to miss if in the area.

The food was divine, great atmosphere, especially in the bar area and friendly helpful staff. We came back for a second meal in the same week as we loved it so much. I recommend trying the amazing belly pork so tasty with meat that just falls apart!

First time eating at this establishment since the new owners took over.Excellent Sunday lunch with friends who had eaten there from the evening menu the previous week. 2 of our party had the Seabass starter and 1 had the trio of Salmon. All delicious though the Seabass with linguine was a large portion, half of it would have been perfectly adequate. We did wait quite a while with empty plates in front of us before the starters were cleared as it was busy, not too much of a problem for us as we weren’t in a rush & were chatting anyway. For the main course I had the beautifully cooked Belly Pork, one had the Lamb and the other two the Sirloin of Beef....all were proclaimed to be fantastic. After the Seabass & the Belly Pork, I was disappointed that I could not manage a dessert but they looked gorgeous. Good variety on the wine list too. We will certainly be returning. Might have to give the evening menu a try next time.

We had lunch here having simply coming across it, the food was excellent. Place was also dog friendly. Definitely would come back.

We are frequent visitors so we rang at 09:00 to make sure of a table and was told that there was a limited menu due to having a chef off ill. They had run out of GF Fish Pie when I ordered and my disappointment was clearly visible as I changed my order. The waitress came back and said the chef can make you a fish pie but it will have a Trout substitution - I ordered and it was super.The real surprise was the Ploughman's Lunch ordered by one of our table. My wife said "I am glad I didn't order that as there is enough for two!" The rare beef looked perfect to me and the ham looked as though it had fallen rather than carved off the bone. There were to huge chunks of cheese and a Granary baton that added to the beautifully presented plate.

Called on the off chance and we were accommodated immediately. Very welcoming and whilst the restaurant was very busy the staff were outstanding. The food was delicious, healthy portions and very tasty. The choice of dishes was varied as were the puddings.

An evening with friends; the pub and restaurant were busy when we arrived on a weekday early evening, so advisable to book.

We booked to stay at The Fox and Hounds for a night through a booking site to be sent a message the day of our trip by the hotel to say that they have cancelled our reservation as they didn’t have any vacancies. This is so unprofessional as it is the responsibility of the hotel to inform the booking agents if they have filled their vacancies and in this case they had clearly not and as we had driven to the area before we received the message this caused us problems as we then had to find alternative accommodation elsewhere. The Fox and Hounds had our contact details and could have rang us direct but instead sent it by E-mail of which we did not receive until it was too late. This is very poor management

Really nice place to come and eat,good menu friendly staff a nice outside area and an atmosphere that is nice and relaxed

We were staying at the Fox and Hounds and thought we should try the restaurant. We weren’t disappointed. The menu is predominantly English cuisine, which they do very well. We were planning to have a main and a dessert, but the main courses were so huge that we couldn’t manage a pud. My liver and bacon with mash was tasty and cooked just right. My wife had the RibEye steak and couldn’t finish it, so I was delighted to help out. Again, it was quality meat cooked medium rare as requested. The wine list is quite limited, but good value compared to so many other over priced offerings. The dining room is quite big plus there’s plenty of space to eat in the bar. No problem with parking, there’s lots.

Dropped in here after a full day out on the Pickering steam trains. They accommodated us even though we had not booked in advance, and served us up with some very thoughtful vegetarian offerings : really tasteful cheese souffle and imaginative choux pastry with mushrooms. The dessert was great too! First class pub in a lovely little village just off the main road.

We visited as walk ins earlier today and opted to have lunch in the rear garden which has ample seating.

There is a good menu with a number of starters and mains but also specials. I was pleased with all my meals (5) none of them being disappointing and I didn't repeat.

Despite not making a reservation we were seated in the ‘stable’ room (very comfortable) and had a great lunch. I particularly enjoyed the Lincolnshire poacher soufflé which I had with a salad and chips - very tasty. Good beer, great service, nice surroundings - what is not to like? If ever in the area again, we shall return.

After a really long drive from Scotland let's say there was three hungry stomachs.two had the minute steaks and one ham egg and chip's.

We came across this pub from Trip Advisor recommendations as we were desperately looking for somewhere for lunch with 3 children. They accommodated us even though the kitchen stopped serving food 15 min later. We are very grateful: the children had sausages and chips (may I add, proper meaty sausages- which they devoured). I had a roast beef “sandwich “, don’t be fooled it was huge and delicious. My husband had a duo of Yorkshire lamb which didn’t touch the sides. The staff were very pleasant. The toilets were immaculate and in general the restaurant was very clean. I can highly recommend coming here.

Always fantastic food and service. Excellent quality and fantastic value for money. The portion sizes are huge make sure you are very hungry before you go.

My wife & i found The Fox & Hounds by accident 2 years ago and always stop off for lunch when we are in the area. The Ploughmans is awesome and beautifully presented, we recommended it to friends who live in Derbyshire who raved about it when they returned from holiday in N Yorks

Fitted us in at short notice and so glad they did as what a lovely place to eat out. Best veg I’ve ever had

We came here for a 30th birthday. 10 of us came to eat and drink. The food was absolutely gorgeous and the staff are just excellent! So hard to fault this place! The waitresses are so lovely! Had the fish and chips and they were beautiful! Many of the group had the lamb and said it was lovely too. Would definitely recommend!

This country pub restaurant was exactly what an English country pub is viewed as!

We came for early-evening tea with our dog and were made most welcome. The food was excellent and definitely superior to standard pub food.

Came here as a big group of kids and adults - 11 in all.

Obviously food cooked to order. A lovely but not huge menu. Perfectly presented, lovely staff and the restaurant an oasis of quiet.

We dined in the evening here in the restaurant and the food was to a very good standard and with a good variety without being overpriced. Service was excellent. We will try and stay here next time we are in the area.

What a lovely place for a meal. Absolutely brilliant food, excellent service and great atmosphere. We had a table of 10 in our own little room which was perfect!

Lovely friendly Inn off the main road. Bedrooms are nice (not flashy) and comfortable. The pub is cosy and welcoming but the food is truly wonderful.

Having eaten here before on holiday in Whitby, we came back on our recent holiday. The pub was lovely, staff welcoming and we had the early evening menu. The food was once again very good, the minute steak was tender and tasty and the rest of my party enjoyed their meals. The only let down was the fries, they were too oily and greasy. I had to take off a point for that but I hope our next visit will see this point righted. Also the village is lovely to explore. Walk off the meal by visiting the church, beautiful!

Great Sunday dinner shoulder of lamb and breast of chicken with Yorkshire pudding and fresh veg absolutely superb. Really nice menu. Good range of ale, this pub is truly the best of British.

We called for the evening early meal 5.30-6.30pm. My haddock was not fresh, grey flesh, batter thick and fried at too low a temperature. The mushy peas were dried-up and looked like lunchtime leftovers. The chips were acceptable. This restaurant is not a cheap option, they should know better than serving obviously non-fresh fish. I would respect them more for removing the item from the menu. Service was polite and friendly, and the beer was good!

We called at short notice an hour before opening and they were able to fit in 4 adults with no problem. When we arrived we were well looked after and the menu was exactly what anyone would want for a Sunday lunch. All was very well priced and the food was beautifully cooked - thank you for a perfect afternoon.

We booked a table in the bar for our lunch and had a lovely lunch. The menu was excellent and there were lovely meals to choose from. All four of us had different meals and they were all tasty and enjoyable. It is a lovely environment with efficient and friendly staff. A great place to stop for a meal.

Just an overnight stay ( not long enough!). A superb welcome followed by a wonderful meal. Ate in the bar as had a four legged friend with us - very comfortable and a superb meal. The courgette and dill soup was absolutely the best ever followed by duck breas which was perfectly cooked and made it just the most ideal meal for me! Can’t wait to stay again!

Last weekend we stayed in the Fox and Hounds Inn near Pickering.

Just happened on this pub by accident whilst trying to find some food, the car park was busy which was a good sign, we were welcomed and quickly seated with menus, I opted for the belly pork, Mrs R for the shoe pastry and cheese option. Whilst waiting we were served complimentary bread and olive oil which was delicious in itself. Both meals came promptly and were attractively presented generous portions, the belly pork was delicious served with chrispy crackling and a tasty sweet corn pancake. We were too stuffed for pudding but are going back later this week to try again.

In Sinnington 5 miles outside of Pickering. Visited due to good reviews. Did not disappoint. Pork belly, rump stake and kids meals good. Just missing that je ne sais quoi. Worth a visit though.

what a lovely little village pub. you were given a jug of water on arrival and a little starter. The whole place seemed to be carefully looked after. The food was good and beautifully presented. Wine a bit pricey though.

We came across this excellent country inn on a day out and were very pleased that we did. The décor is lovely, as are all the surroundings. The food was very good too, better than pub grub. The staff were polite and friendly. Will go out of our way to returm

When visiting the North York Moors we always head for the Fox & Hounds for at least one meal. It can get very busy so booking ahead is advisable. The was excellent again and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Probably the best pub meals in the area.

Lovely little village pub, good food and pleasant atmosphere, shame about the obnoxious customers and rude waitress who spoilt what would have otherwise been an enjoyable meal for my husband’s 40th Birthday.

We went here with family members who live nearby. It's a lovely old country inn full of original features such as a wooden settle in the bar that might have been a church pew. We had booked for the restaurant which is comfortably furnished with well spaced tables. We'd heard about the house specialty of the dessert sharing platter, despite that we all had starters because they were unusual and imaginative. On to the main courses; a good selection of locally sourced meats and fish. Then the piece de resistance in my opinion, the puddings! We ordered 2 between the four of us but to be honest one would have been adequate to sample just a taste of the six or seven puddings, mousses, cakes, biscuits and sorbets on offer that night. It's not often we get through 3 courses these days so this was an exception. Service was discrete and could have been a bit more attentive but all in all it's a fine place to go.

Dropped in on Fathers' Day with no reservation while on a ride out from Stamford to the Yorks Moors.

My wife and I have just eaten a wonderful evening meal at the Fox&Hounds.; The staff were extremely friendly and attentive and the food was excellent. My wife had the Seafood Platter and I had the Duo of Yorkshire Lamb. Both were superb, and to top it off we shared a lovely Chocolate Torte with white chocolate mousse and griottine cherries. A most memorable meal.

This was recommended to us by reception staff at Forest Holidays. Really good food. The early menu is excellent value. The inn itself is wonderful. The restaurant was busy. Staff were very friendly. Definitely looks a nice place to stay.

Really friendly staff, helpful and informative to visitors. Food was hot, well cooked and well presented. Lovely atmosphere: locals and tourists. We liked it so much we came for a second evening.

We visited twice during our recent family break in the village and received a lovely welcome on both occasions- although have to say our visit on Monday evening was better. This is in part owing to the restricted evening menu on Sunday which was a little disappointing given we knew how good the full menu was, and that it didn’t include a Sunday dinner as an option The food we did get was delicious and I can’t fault it - the homemade chips are delicious, and the pork belly with Asian flavours was also lovely - but can highly recommend the assiette of deserts, the chicken with risotto and the lamb. Would definitely go back.

We have stayed here many times simply because the food is amazing ! and the staff are very friendly and helpful,nothing is too much trouble.The rooms are comfortable and warm and it is very dog friendly.The breakfast is also very good.We will definitely be back again.Sinnington is a gem of a village handy for Pickering,Helmsley,numerous other places and attractions are within easy reach.There are some great walks from the village too.

We all had a ploughman's and they were great. Lovely mix of cheese, meats, bread and salad. Accompanying chips were homemade and beautiful. Service was warm and friendly. Would definitely go back even if it meant going a bit out of the way.

Had a lovely bar lunch, place very clean, staff very helpful and a very homely place to visit if you are in the area. My only small criticism would be there is to much choice deserts where very limited, but that is only a personnel comment and should not prevent anybody from a visit.

We have just enjoyed another great mini-break at the Fox and Hounds. The staff are always welcoming, chatty and helpful, the food is as good as ever with great portions of well prepared and tasty food. The room was clean and well maintained with a powerful shower and was kept gloriously warm even with frosts outside.

Visited here on our way to Helmsley. We booked a table in the lounge bar. We were welcomed at reception and shown through to our table. Quite full but not too noisy. A good atmosphere. Very friendly staff. We ordered a roast beef and a roast lamb. Every aspect excellent. The roasts were tasty and well cooked. Accompanying vegetables similarly well cooked and tasty.

Had a lovely.pre-Christmas meal with the family in the spacious and comfortable restaurant. The food was tasty and well presented but the desserts we felt were underwhelming and overpriced

Had the most amazing meal ever.I had my own separate menu and for once didn't feel like I was different.The service and detail was unbelievable.We are staying in Sinnington for Christmas so to be able to walk all together was a bonus.The food is first class and large portions for those who enjoy food.We couldn't finish all of ours so they gave us a doggie bag.Great big thank you from all of us and look forward to seeing you on Christmas Eve.

We visited the Fox and Hounds on our recent visit to North Yorkshire.

We've been here many times usually when visiting friends in Sinnington.

The food and service is amazing here. Very relaxed. I had the guinea fowl and other half had the venison. Both dishes were delicious. Wish i had a starter too but the lovely bread and olives that get put on the table were such a nice touch. I've eaten in other fancy establishments and this is up there with them. You should have another rosette at least.

Visited with a friend and a day or two later with two other friends, for early bird meal. Quick and cheerful service. Interesting menus. Lovely food enjoyed by all on both occasions. I always make for Fox and Hounds when in the area and have never been disappointed .

This was truly one of the best meals I have ever had. We were 5 adults and 2 children for supper. The service was engaging and attentive, and the menu choices suited everyone's tastes. I had two starters and could not get over the wonderful pork and scallops dish. My husband had the lamb, which truly melted in the mouth. The food is truly worth raving about!

We arrived on a cold, rainy day following a trip up on the windy moor. It was very busy but we had a table straight away. Our roasts arrived within 10 minutes and they were delicious. We had the roast beef and trimmings with extra gravy and no fuss or delays. We were very impressed at the service and it left us happy and satisfied. My last visit was a good 17 years ago but we will be sure to return in the not too distant future.

4 of us went here today after saying a final farewell to mum. We decided on here because many years ago it was a place mum went To eat.

We were so pleased that we had left the main road to find lunch in this pretty little village.There is a spacious car park and the greeting was warm and welcoming. We were shown to a table and offered menus and drinks within minutes. We only wanted a light lunch and the rolls were a perfect choice. Freshly made and very tasty and served with the best chips we have had in a long while. We thought the price very reasonable.

We had heard how good this place was - and were not disappointed. Great atmosphere, very friendly staff, dogs made welcome and excellent food.
