We went on fri for lunch ,had been told previously that it was a good place for food ,took our two grandsons ,one 3 and the eldest 16 ,nobody in when we got there ,menu's were sheets of 4A paper ,think there was 6 items and a special board , ordered our food ,wasn't long to wait 3yr old wanted chicken nuggets and chips ,chicken outer was too spicy for a 3yr old he ate his chips ,burger for eldest grandson was very big he said it was good ,we had fish and chips came out and looked delicious, chips good mushy peas good ,but batter on fish was crispy on the outside but under cooked inside ,fish though was lovely ,it seems to be a good pub that is trying to build up its business and can't fault them for that ,they didn't have any salads on menu which is a shame ,I do wish the landlord good luck though x

It's in a beautiful setting that's a definite positive. I'd say it's great if you just fancy a beer in the sun. Unfortunately we decided to go for an evening meal. Now don't get me wrong the food wasn't bad but it was very basic (the menu we were given had maybe 10 items max) and the specials were 2 different pizza's. Not exactly what I expected tbh

Sunday dinner today x a bit more expensive than the average but I am always dissapointed with the average x this was absolutely 💯 can't really fault anything we'll worth the money. Massive plates and very very generous amounts of 5 meats available today.veg all fresh and cooked properly,nothing soggy or dry.we were all impressed and left saying we would be back

Now then. Me and a few friends consistently head down to this pub every Wednesday for food and to take part in the pub quiz, which is normally decent….. Despite ordering 4 meals here, which are expensive for what you get anyway, we were looked down for drinking water! Sorry did I say expensive, I meant EXTORTIONATE. Sarcastic comments between the bar staff were exchanged “under their breath” when ordering a lovely refreshing glass of H2O. An unappealing blonde lady spoke badly about my friends and I to other customers, which we were later informed about. Accused of CHEATING on the pub quiz was insulting as I am simply a genius. We won anyway ahahaha. Upon paying for my bank loaned steak, which was boring and not at all flavourful , I was asked if it “broke me”. If I couldn’t afford it I wouldn’t have ordered it and would’ve ordered a £7 SINGULAR FISHCAKE. At the end of the day, I am a man who has a severe hereditary cardiovascular condition and have been advised not to consume any alcohol. BEING SHAMED FOR THIS IS NOT ON!!!!

Me and my friends are regulars at this pub attending every Wednesday for the pub quiz, on this particular week we ordered over £60 worth of food and drinks for the table whilst taking part in the quiz. However with it being a Wednesday and three of my friends driving, they ordered water as their drink, whilst ordering this at the bar two separate nasty comments were made by a member of staff with blonde hair, possibly a manager, about us ordering some waters on several separate occasions, this made us feel uncomfortable and pressured against ordering water. This same member of staff also accused us of cheating at the pub quiz and said we would not be able to receive the award if we did win, we also were glared at throughout the night and spoken badly about behind our backs to other people, this was very unprofessional and made us feel unwelcome throughout the whole experience.

A truly excellent birthday meal for us, two adults and our two year old. Called a few hours ahead to enquire about our toddler and delighted to see a high chair set up in a spacious area on the end of a large table when we arrived. Plenty of room for toys which were added to when a member of staff gave our little one a fidget spinner popping thing to play with. Which bought a full twenty minutes of quiet time! Little Miss had sausage, chips (changed from mash with no fuss from the listed menu) and peas. For the first time ever she asked for "more sausage", which is the first time that she has asked for more hot food. Our bizarre request for an extra sausage was no problem though and I stole a bite to see what the fuss was about - it was absolutely stunning. We shared our starters of deep fried brie and fishcake. Utterly divine and we savoured every mouthful, the gooiest brie I've ever had. Main courses were ale battered cod and chips and lasagne. Believe the hype - the batter is unbeatable. In forty-five years on this earth I have never had more beautiful batter and that wasn't even my meal, I had the lasagne! Chunky chips simply didn't need seasoning as they were already super tasty and the fish itself was a flaky piece of heaven, but my word the batter, with the tiniest touch of tartare sauce added, was pure filth. Lasagne was exactly how comfort grub should be - a bit burnt on the base and a generous portion bursting with flavour. Didn't even ask for a pepper mill as it simply wasn't needed and I ALWAYS ask for a pepper mill. Service was absolutely perfect - attentive without being overbearing from staff who genuinely seemed happy to be there and proud of the food they were serving. The location and the pub itself are absolutely beautiful. Seemed a little quiet to us for a Friday night but looking through previous reviews it looks as though a recent change of management/chef has made a sizeable difference. Absolutely recommended by two happy adults and a very difficult to please toddler.

First time visiting during the day, only been for an evening meal before. There was 5 of us, we didn't book however this wasn't issue. Pub owner gave us the choice of where to sit & was prompt with drinks. Menu choice, though limited was varied & all sounded delicious. Food was freshly prepared & cooked, not long to wait & was very happily received. No complaints from any of us! Will definitely be going back for lunch

Went for dinner on Friday evening and really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, I had something from the main menu and my husband had BBQ ribs from the specials board. Food piping hot and so tasty, excellent value too. Puddings were gorgeous...didn't want them to end! One was a Cherry and Bakewell and I had chocolate brownie.... the best I've ever tasted.... both home made too. Atmosphere lovely and staff brilliant...nothing too much trouble. Added bonus too was live music. Lovely evening out...would definitely recommend.

Curry night on the Wednesday. If you’re looking for a curry drenched in tomato soup & served with soggy rice, this is the place to be. On arrival, we had to retrieve the menu ourselves, after asking the staff numerous times. We had a table booked for 10 people, & we had 1 menu on the table. What was extremely disappointing is that I received a call from Shepherds Rest in the afternoon asking me if we’d be ordering off the main menu or having the curry night, I advised majority will be ordering off the main menu but some may have a curry. So, when the waitress came to take our order, she advised there was no ciabatta’s… why were we not informed of this on arrival? Majority of the party wanted one of the ciabatta’s off the main menu. This was extremely disappointing that we were not informed that they’d ran out of ciabatta’s, as I’m sure if we were told, we would have left. The waitress had to take our order 3 times… 3 times, 2 different waitresses & still managed to get the order wrong. Service was shocking. The curry tasted like chicken in tomato soup, with a side of soggy rice & a half decent naan bread, that wasn’t just my opinion that was 6 other people’s as well. The dishes came out incorrectly, the chips were submerged in oil, the ‘baked ham’ was incredibly dry. This was the worst meal I have ever had from this place, when Barlow’s owned the place it was divine but it’s massively gone down hill now. I personally won’t be returning & neither will the rest of the party. As having Indian in my ethnicity, the way they made the curry was incredibly insulting & no I didn’t go to the pub for a curry, it was the only reasonable priced item on the menu. FYI, chicken tikka masala from spoons is more tasty compared to the monstrosity I tried last night & that’s really saying something.

Called in for lunch on Thursday. Was aware there were new owners so thought we'd give it a try. We weren't disappointed. The food was excellent and so was the friendly service. I loved the menu which had just enough choice. I had the liver which was delicious and my wife tried the hot beef crusty ciabatta which she also enjoyed. Will definitely be returning.

I booked a table to celebrate my in-laws 60th wedding anniversary. We turned up to The Shepherds Rest with our 82 year old parents to find that the pub was locked up and no sign of anyone!!!!!! A woman hung out an upstairs window and said the company had shut the pub down with no warning and were supposed to contact everyone who had booked. I had NO notification whatsoever. So we were all dressed up. With balloons and 60th wedding anniversary gifts etc and 2 disappointed 82 year olds!!!!! Appalling!!!!! Fortunately another WONDERFUL pub fitted us all in within 10 minutes and treated us like royalty when they heard what had happened! Go to The Red Lion in Underwood instead! They are an independent family run business who care for their customers. Unlike the owners of The Shepherds Rest at Bagthorpe. So disappointing! So annoying! I didn’t even want to give one star to be honest This happened 21/9/23

AWFUL FOOD - have been here so many times and it’s always been amazing. But not this time. Shocked the pub was almost empty. We sat and waited and waited and our drinks order was eventually taken. We had to get our own menu as not given any! We ordered, 3 steaks , medium rare, medium, well done and a burger. Approximately 1 1/4 hrs later having been told only once it wouldn’t be long, the food arrived, CREMATED could tell the difference between the steaks ! All burnt. The chips where just thrown on the plates, one of us had a ridiculous large amount another hardly any. The peas tasted disgusting. Unusually no one near to ask is everything was ok. We’d waited that long and it was late we just ate what we could. We they took the plates they then asked if everything was ok. I said no and explained why, she just said sorry, we are a chef down and basically ran off into the kitchen to hide. It was quite apparent the bar and waiting staff were very embarrassed about the whole thing. We weren’t the only ones that wasn’t happy. Then we saw the chef come out the kitchen. OMG what a dirty, scruffy, unkempt man to be allowed into a kitchen to cook, he looked a health hazard. We won’t be back, which is a shame as the place used to be amazing and our go to place. My recommendation

I would not describe the Sunday lunch in here as one of the best around. It's not even as good as a Toby. The roast potatoes were hard, the small bit of stuffing was also hard. The extra meet was not up to much.My wife said her Turkey was quite nice. The Staff asked people to move off there table as there time was up.I love the pub but the Sunday lunch didn't cut the mustard. I know the staff cant controll the punters but is dinner time it was full of extra loud people, who didn't seem to have any control of there childern/ grandchildren one small boy was rolling around in front of the bar, then ran in front of one of the waitress with two meals in her hands.I saw that this was recommended, try it your self, but I wouldn't have my Sunday lunch in there again.

I thought it would take ages to get everyone sorted and seated but the staff got everyone to their tables quickly and came back for our drinks orders and food orders really promptly. The service was excellent, the food superb (two of us had turkey, one pork, one beef) and it was perfectly cooked with loads of vegetables on the side.

Nice pub, tucked away down a country lane. Pleasant garden during the summer. Food menu ok, but quality could be better.

Great food, good prices, huge playground for the kids. Only downside was a LONG wait for our food (though we were warned on ordering). Lovely spot nonetheless.

Called at 3 but stopped serving so came back at 5. It was really busy outside and we went inside and ordered a meal. Realised we had been waiting a while so asked a member of staff about our meal. Apologised and couldn’t have dealt with it better. The food was well worth the wait and we will definitely be back. Lovely staff and excellent food..

We decided we would like a Friday night meal with friends. We chose the shepherds rest as we generally like this place and is fairly local. we ordered our meals we waited one and a half hours then asked politely how much longer and was told fifteen minutes, We had had drinks and noticed other tables were being served before and after us so questioned with the Staff and they said “I will check” no reply after that came. We waited patiently for a further fifteen minutes and ended up leaving to go for food elsewhere before it ruined our evening. I went in to the bar staff and said we had asked for the manager so why didn't he come and speak to us, the lady walked away and I asked why on earth it had taken so long to which she replied that the chef had not turned up in the kitchen and she thought that someone had come out to tell us, when I expressed that no one had came out to tell us. The management of our food and order was terrible and the manager should have come and told us that they had no chef and apologised we were told we wouldn't be charged foe out drinks at least that was some sort of compensation. i would suggest that if the chef doesn't turn in then costumers should be told when placing their order for food may be a little late.

Service was quick and the staff were friendly and the meat was nice. The vegetables didn’t seem as good as when we have visited at the weekend. Looks like veg had been reused and using cheaper vegetab
