Spencers Bar and Grill in Ryedale

Had a great family meal here after being recommended by a local and we weren't disappointed. the place is hard to find but in a lovely location with a small lake. we cannot fault the place the service, food or location.

Great little find! Delicious food, really good value and pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. Staff were very helpful, the food arrived quickly and they came over to check all was ok and couple of times during the meal.

Had great reviews from people, so we tried it. Bar prices are very reasonable, with great offers. The food was fabulous, but far too much, they could make the portions slightly smaller and it would still be excellent value. Everyone was really friendly. Yes I would go back if staying near there.

Excellent food, good value and a warm welcome, what a find. Tasty well cooked steak, homemade pizza just perfect, thank you, we will be back.

We phoned this place for a table as we couldn't get booked in at our premier inn hotel while down for a break from Scotland..and they provided us with a table for 7 after visiting resorts....., 5 adults & 2 kids food was great.. service great staff excellent would definitely recommend it..

Wow just 👌. Staying at the local pub and found the spencers on trip advisor. People are not wrong about portion sizes and value for money Very welcoming people and really looked me and Rosie my dog I had the prawn cocktail and it was huge but the best I've ever had, followed by pepperoni pizza which again was perfect If you are in the area you MUST visit

Lovely and clean and lovely surrounding very professional food and service couldn't fault in these hard times will be going again soon

This is our 5 th time coming to Spencer's, we love it here. The food is brilliant, the owners and staff are so friendly. We have 2 large dogs that are always made welcome. We had a few meals at the weekend, and the service was spot on. Lovley home made food, with generous portions. The staff were professional, and so friendly. We are booking a cabin for October with a few friends. Can't wait to come to Spencer's for our evening meals and drinks.Michelle Horsfall

The service here this evening was terrible! Had to wait over an hour to get our food order taken and even then we had to flag a waitress down! We were a group of 7 only half our meals came out, and they came out with no cutlery ! Again had to ask for cutlery! (Who serves food without cutlery?!) Eventually the other half’s meals were served (when we had finished!) everyone’s meals were luke warm, wasn’t even offered a free drink or anything! Don’t know what has happened to this place but it has seriously gone downhill! We won’t be returning which is a shame as we’ve eaten there lots before in the past with being locals! Think new staff are needed Spencer’s!!

Service was really poor, had to ask multiple times to order both drinks and food. After a very long wait, we ordered. After another long wait, only half the food arrived! Despite paying for the order up front, the other half appeared to be lost. After yet another long wait, the second half of the food arrived, by which time the other food was cold.I understand that due to COVID regulations a reduced amount of staff can work. But that also means a reduced amount of customers.The real shame here is that the food that come out was good

Visited here whilst staying locally, food was good and great value for money. Service however was very poor, had to ask for a drinks waitress three times, and never did get a sweet order taken. Real shame as could be great

Excellent and friendly service. We booked the day before via telephone but it wasn’t busy. Covid secure. Menu plentiful and reasonable prices. We were impressed with the portion sizes and that the food was served piping hot. Hope to return if we are in the area again. Many thanks.

Went for a family meal tonight Service was first class and food was excellent. Would recommend this restaurant. Great atmosphere and prices are also good.

Food was good and plentiful, and the choices of beers was good also. Due to Eat out to Help Out it was also half price the only downside was that we could not get booked in for a 2nd visit before the scheme finished as they were fully booked.

We often visit this restaurant when visiting caravan it ticks all the boxes.wonderful pizzas wonderful steaks wonderful gin and tonics what’s not to like how lucky are we often visit with family and friends

I have eaten at Spencer’s several times my most recent was this week.it was extremely busy but staff were really efficient Marie always as good selection of gin fresh fruit and all staff are friendly .i had pizza which are really good value husband had steak which he said was the nicest he ever had.How lucky to come here whenever we visit caravan

Service was ok, food was Beyond grim ! One of my sons ordered a pizza £8 for something that cost £1.50 from the local supermarket out of a box, and still wasn’t cooked properly as was frozen on the underside, my other son ordered a cheese burger that was still pink in the middle! My mother ordered the prawns starter , they were definitely not as discribed, she later spent the entire night vomiting as did my son , they had both eaten coleslaw also, my husbands stake arrived in some sort of mucky puddle of liquid and they didn’t even ask he wanted it, I played it safe with chicken strips and chips and even that was pushing it, it was very overly “herby” and I wonder if the flavour was disguising something, wouldn’t go back, and advise others to avoid, we told the management the standard of the food was disgusting on our way out, to be honest they didn’t seem very surprised, definitely give a wide birth

My family and I booked Spencer’s as it was recommended to us and for their dog and child friendly approach there was 13 in our party and the staff where friendly, courteous and professional, we placed a large food and drinks order, everything was correct and the food was delicious with more than generous portions, plus the costs where very reasonable, with a large choice of meals and combos. A particular thank you to Marie (owner) Bethany (kitchen) and Ted (bar) you all made the experience very enjoyable and we had a lovely evening, it was a gem of a find very close to Flamingo Land (2.8 miles) where we were staying, we would thoroughly recommend x A little history - the place is named after Marie late dog Spencer x

Very basic food. Terrible service. Absolutely no effort regarding social distancing. I would avoid in future.

6 of us visited on the 3rd August 2020. We had a lovely meal and all the staff were brilliant....even on the 1st night of the government 50% off.....it was obviously a massive learning curve but they didn’t drop their professionalism. We love this place & would definitely recommend it.

We found this place after a great day at Flamingo Land, it’s slightly off the main road but well worth it. The food was amazing and the service and conversation also really nice. We felt so welcome as a family and will definitely go again when we’re back in the area.

I have eaten here several times over the last few months with my girlfriend who lives local to Spencers and the food and service has always been very goodHowever, on New Years Eve Eve my girlfriend called into Spencers with the intention of booking for us to eat there on New Years Eve and I was horrified to hear of her experience! The young lady behind the bar was very helpful and went to speak the Landlady who was upstairs at time my girlfriend was told. When she came back to the bar the young lady said she had been told to ask the Landlord who was in the bar area with a group of peopleThe Landlord had then spoken to my girlfriend and had seemed rather clueless as to what was happening on New Years Eve however the young lady behind the bar mentioned that there would be a buffet available. The landlord had then said he remembered they had a sample of a new ingredient the Chef would be using for the buffet. He had then produced a small bowl containing some dried ‘flakes’ and my girlfriend said she was made to feel obliged to try them. On doing so she found herself with an extremely burning mouth and streaming eyes and nose as it had obviously been a very hot and spicy ingredient no doubt chilli (my girlfriend said it did not look obvious that it was chilli!) The group of people the Landlord was with had found it rather funny when my girlfriend realized she had been humiliated and she was forced to spit the flakes out into her hand, which did in fact cause some irritation on her hand as well. The Landlord must have noticed his prank was causing my girlfriend to be uncomfortable and so he provided a FREE can of Pepsi to help cool her mouth and she made a quick exit!A follow up telephone conversation with the Landlady later that evening confirmed our suspicions that the Landlord had drunk a lot of alcohol and he had given my girlfriend the flakes as a joke. JUST TO CLARIFY, my girlfriend does not know the Landlord other than knowing who he is and so it was not as if it was a joke with a friend. It does not bear thinking about if he had made an elderly or ill person feel obliged to partake in his prank! My girlfriend said she had to stop the car for a few minutes on the way home as she didn’t feel comfortable drivingNeedless to say we do not intend to set foot in Spencers Bar and Grill EVER AGAIN!

Lovely bar and Grill, excellent service definitely recommended, bar prices very reasonable as well , meals are reasonable as well

Amazing food and portion sizes. Friendly staff and very efficient service. Huge menu selection, kids dessert and drinks menu. Would definitely come back 😋

We decided to visit this gorgeous place during our annual family holiday to Flamingo Land as it is a 10 minute drive from the park. We found here by chance on our way home from Whitby and we was not disappointed. We dined myself, my wife, my 3 children and 19 year old brother in law. We where greeted by very friendly staff and the Menu was plentiful and reasonably priced. We all chose our meal and sat in an very scenic seating conservatory while we waited. The food came and we where very impressed with the size and food quality, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will 100% return when we are back in Yorkshire. 10/10 from all of us.

We came to flamingo land for a 3 day visit and on the first day decided to eat out. I looked on trip advisor to see what was about out of the complex and quite a few eateries came up. After reading many reviews on many places we decided on Spencer's and we were not disappointed. There were 6 of us and we got fajitas, steak and burgers. Portion sizes were great and all tasted wonderful. Would highly recommend

Went for dinner here and staff were very friendly and polite. I explained about my food allergies and they took this information and reassured me my food would be fine which it was. Serve was quick and was very impressed with the food. We will definitely be returning.

Went in after a full day at Flamingo Land, reviews suggested it was good and they were accurate. Nice welcome on arrival, interesting menu. With options for children. Huge portion sizes and very reasonable prices.We didnt have to wait long either. I had a look at the dessert menu and simply had to try the Eton Mess Cheesecake, with ice cream. It was amazing. Staff came over a few times to ask if everything was ok, and it was. I would happily have stayed longer but had to get back to where we were staying.Really wonderful place, just off the road but well worth seeking out.

Food good, reasonably priced, good portions, dogs are welcome, has play area for kids, will visit again

We visited after a family day out on our son's birthday. The food was great,we had quick and friendly service and it's a welcoming setting for a young family. When the staff found out it was my son's fourth birthday they went out of their way to make him feel special which was lovely.

I attended a family wedding party here in May. The place is fantastic, the lodges are brilliant, the food was spot on and the staff couldn't do enough for any of us. Thank you spencers!

Was all very disappointed, with the poor service and the food, 4 of our 5 meals were wrong, waitress just shrugged her shoulders, didn't bother changing them as it would of been a long wait, you had to order and pay for your food before you sat down, which caused lengthy queues, only.one member of staff doing bar and food orders, so couldnt blame her, a large group came in and their orders were so wrong, had to queue again for deserts which again took ages, and they were nothing to write home about, all in all very poor, wont be going there again

We visited here today and had a meal with friends, there was 4 adults and 2 children. We was all made to feel friendly from the moment we walked in by the staff! Fantastic place to eat! We have eaten around that area for years and didn’t know of this place until someone from work mentioned it! Fantastic food and a really good price! Cheap drinks and a great outdoor area for the kids! Take a visit yourself and you will love it like we did!

What a find. Huge portions and a great price. We loved the choice for the children too, so much more than your average pub restaurant. The staff were super friendly too. We all went for the huge 16oz steak, ribs or mixed grill. All were amazing. The blue cheese sauce was to die for. We will be back.

Warm and friendly welcome. Good food reasonably priced. Beer reasonably priced too. Would recommend.

We were staying at Pickering Lodges last week and had a meal at Spencer’s bar & grill which is on site.

Beautiful setting and really great food at an exceptionally reasonable price. There was a great selection of food and beverages to choose from. I will most definitely be visiting again and recommending it to others.

Brilliant venue for a party the staff are so helpful and excellent food. We would like to thank Marie and her team for a really great night .

Went for a birthday celebration dinner with family on a Friday evening. Quite busy for February, and no wonder. Wide ranging menu choice, reasonably priced and very good food. Large portions, so you need to be hungry. Service was a bit slow, but our table of 11 was served quickly once the food started to come out. Marie and her staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly, thank you to all of you.

Myself and my family have been coming to Spencers ever since they first opened and we absolutely love it there! The staff are friendly and helpful, the food is always good and we always feel at home when we go! Nothing is ever too much trouble and we are always made to feel welcomed. We have also been to many parties at Spencers including New Years, Halloween and our own wedding party!! The lodges are fantastic too, we stayed in one on our wedding night and we couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you to all the team xx

Visited on a quiet Sunday evening with family. We had a table booked for 10 and a high chair. Great food, friendly staff and great value for money!! Highly recommend.

What a fantastic New Year’s Eve we had there was games to keep the kids entertained. The fireworks display was one of the best we’ve ever seen. And to top it all off there was a free mini bus back in to town and all this for £6 a ticket. Staff were fantastic even when one group were not happy and were very rude to one staff member and used language that was not appropriate for a family venue, they handled this very well causing minimal disruption to the rest of the guests.

Absolutely shocking service paid for 17 seats got 6 asked to leave if don't like it by the woman with a red top who only helps out wen needed. She thought it was funny saying I should hit her with my stick to other guests. Attitude was shocking, such a shame as we were really looking forward to it and we go there regularly. The manager is lovely as always, just ashame the owner said have to believe my staff. Lost a lot of custom now Flamingo Land now we're back!!!!!! Won't be coming here again not just me the other people we were with and the other owners at Flamingo Land

Had a lovely booked meal, very quiet so got it quickly, when they cleared table, 1 bloke asked if we wanted desserts, which we replied yes even though we looked at the board and had already chosen. He came back we don’t have a menu it’s just on the board somewhere here. Ok genuine mistake. We went up and ordered 1st was skittles sundae, 2nd order was brownies, he went over to check the menu and couldn’t see it even though there were 2 on there which we had to point out, 4th was roly poly again he had to go and check again this time after a minute or 2 he did find. We paid and then had to ask for the drink that was still on the side he had poured out. Anyway he bought them over(3 of them) and we asked about skittles sundae, he said run out, fair enough but why not tell us when first bringing or ordered, so we asked can we have something else as we had paid. We then asked can where do we get spoons, after a pause looking at us a bit funny, he went and got them. What started so well sadly spoilt the day and won’t becoming back I don’t think sadly as it looked a nice place

My friends visit me a few times a year always have to eat at Spencer's, lovely atmosphere, food excellent and wine reasonably priced. Waitress could not have been better. A friendly atmosphere, I go regularly but my friends always want to visit when they come. Would recommend to everyone

Where do I start? Went to Spencers after being recommended to us. Lovely looking place was my first thought. We ordered our food and to our amazement,we were served our food in under ten minutes!!!!!! Jeez. Speedy Gonzalez or what! The food was disgusting! The bbq sauce that came with a melt,had a skin on top. The food was bland. Do I detect Chef Mike??? (microwave!) It HAD to be. There's no way that 2 chicken burgers with fries and two chicken bbq melts where cooked in that amount of time. Left the food and the place. Will never go back. Disgusting!

We went as a family the food was delicious great choice . Bar staff very helpful and polite. Drinks were well priced. Even gave us a taster of the beer . Friendly atmosphere pleasant surroundings.

Bring cash with you for drinks, we were 2 people part of a party of 18, miniium spend for using the card machine is £10, (The Reason, why we didnt have puddings later, 2 puddings = £7), buying drinks for Two people, is tough going, brought drinks for Son, bought drinks for later, even bought Carry outs, to get over £10, Spencers dont sell Pure Orange Juice, its J2O, so, if, your under 18, cant drink Alcohol for medical reasons, or your the Responsible Driver, better think again.

Visited for a friends wedding. Loved the log cabin and hot tub experience. The cabin was well equipped for self catering. They offer a well stocked bar and the menu offers something tasty for everyone. Really enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend a visit.

Just being for a meal with a friend great food and atmosphere lovely and attentive staff will be calling again

We’ve been staying in one of the nearby lodges and have had nothing but a good experience from Spencer’s! Would recommend it to anyone who comes to the local area

I went there for a function. The place was quite busy with the people staying there and so the bar staff were kept quite busy. The food was not too bad.

we went to spencers for my daughters 16th birthday tea, everything was lovely, the table had been decorated for our arrival and the staff very helpful and welcoming, our starters and our mains were lovely, we all had steak which was cooked perfectly, drinks were so much cheaper than anywhere else that the adults decided to leave the car and enjoy a few with our meal, we were even taken back to our campsite by mini bus by a friendly staff member free of charge, will deffinately return when we visit pickering again, great place.

This isn’t the first time we’ve visited Spencer’s but it will be the last.

After a terrible experience in the nearby Black Bull pub we visited Spencer's and were extremely pleased we did. We went on a Saturday evening and although they were very busy including a private party the staff were polite and friendly. We asked if they had a table for four to eat and although it was full they found us a table. We ordered food and it was with us in a timely manner. I ordered the Spencer burger which was a double burger with cheese and bacon in a ciabatta bun, with fries in their skin, onion rings and a salad this was very tasty and at £8.95 very good value. The drinks were well priced, £4.10 for a beer and 1/2 a cider compared to £5.85 for the same at the Black Bull. I would recommend this to anyone in the area and will certainly be back.

Amazing food, Fantastic Atmosphere, Fabulous location, Staff was brilliant with us (Marie, Helena, Helen) & our children, went the extra mile to make us feel welcome & enjoyed our experience, big thanks from the Thomas Family for a fabulous & enjoyable holiday xxx

Staff were very welcoming and great service. Food was piping hot, good value and tasty. Nachos and doughballs to start were great and surprisingly large portions and desserts were lovely. Drinks were reasonably priced and the gin selection was impressive.

This is the local Bar Eatery and checking for the Log Cabins we stayed in .We enjoyed drinks here a couple of night .And ate here on our first evening .Nice pub grub .Lovely staff .Nice outdoor area and childrens play area . Lots of geese nearby and a beautiful lake .

Staff not friendly or clued up.

We visited the lodges where this grill is sited. Friday we decided to book a table a good choice. The steaks ordered where lovely quality and enjoyed by all who chose them. The ribs where tender and again lovely. We also decided to have a pizza and sweets delivered to our lodge after a bit of indulgence for the world cup exploits of England. The pizzas where beautiful and well topped. Likewise the sweets where spot on. I recommend this place if your anywhere near call in. The staff are friendly helpful and the beer is good too. Visit well worthwhile.

It is Sooooo Hard to find a Place like Spencers, from the Moment you walk in you are greeted by friendly Staff Who Work "None Stop" but are always Happy to Help and have a Conversation.

Went here last night for a birthday meal. Never been before but the place was recommended. From entering to leaving we were made to feel welcome and at ease. We ordered and paid at the bar which wasn’t a problem. Food came quickly and was absolutely delicious. There was plenty of it and it was excellent quality. We didn’t feel rushed at all. The views were lovely, plenty of space outside for the children to

Once again, we had a family gathering at Spencers. This time not for a happy event. Nevertheless, this venue was our first choice for our dad's wake because he/we loved it, it has so many happy memories.

Called in here ( 6 of us ) after visiting Eden camp and was very pleased we did so.4 adults + 2 kids made to feel very welcome. All food and drink ordered at the bar, plenty of seating available and pretty quick service of the starters which avoided grumpy kids as they were soon scoffing!!

My son and I decided to try this place after hearing good reports about it. However, our experience was a very low standard -that was before we got to even eat! We booked a table on Sunday evening of the Easter Bank holiday and arrived just before our allocated time. We entered the restaurant and it was full of very loud people ... There was no one stood at the bar but us. However, we were totally ignored! Not even a "Hi, I won't be long' came our way ... We were there for at least ten minutes and still no recognition!

Visited Spencer’s on Good Friday evening, bar are was vet busy but staff coped vey well, as at some times it was 5 deep at the bar.

Excellent food and good priced drinks. Very friendly staff. Great for the kids with outdoor play area and huge lawn also toys inside. The place is very clean so are the lodges which are well equipped and the hot tubs are great to relax in overlooking the pond. Very nice place

we called in here a couple off weeks ago we arrived before noon so we sat and had a drink and studied the menu i had the barbecue chicken sandwich which was small and the chicken was a bit tough my wife who is gluten free had the cheese and bacon burger i could see she was struggling with the burger which was tough the salad was lettuce and peppers no tomato or cucumber not what we expected and we shall not return

Ate here on Saturday night. We hadn't booked but manager was very nice and got us a table. Initially we were a bit concerned as there was a table of about 25 for a 4oth birthday. It was busy, but not loud or crammed and it felt enjoyable and social. Food came quicker than we had anticipated due to the restaurant being full and we weren't disappointed at all! The food was outstanding, hot, generous portion, really tasty skin on chips, steak cooked to perfection and really reasonably priced, as are the drinks at the bar. Five star all the way!

Ate here twice while staying at the adjacent lodges. On both occasions the food was good with plenty on the plate. Prices for both the food and the drinks were very reasonable and the service was also good.

We have stayed at Pickering lodges quite a few times we have used the restaurant and bar all the staff are very good has is the food,the lodges are always clean and well maintained , p.agius Hull

We ate hear few nights as was staying in the lodges on site.we were welcome by the owners who are friendly. The food we had was fantastic and large portions at good prices, also the drinks were to.its a large place with plenty of seating...

We ate a the restaurant on two occasions because we were staying in the nearby lodges and we were very impressed with the warm welcome and selection of meals on the menu. The quality of food is very good and prices are very very fair. We found the all staff and in particular the owner exceptional.

We ate in Spencer's twice during our stay at Pickering lodges. The food is delicious and very reasonable. Staff were extremely helpful and could not do enough for us. I would recommend the chilli con carne and my mum had a steak which she said was lovely.

Food was excellent as was the staff. Prices were very reasonable. Got swings etc for the kids and the weirdest pool table I've ever played on. Very nice place and looking forward to going again

Lovely food and very reasonable !

We came here based on reviews on TripAdvisor and so glad we did. First impressions weren't great however as it took an age to get a drink, luckily we booked as they were very busy, and we resided ourselves to the fact that it was going to be a long wait for food. How wrong we were, the food was served within a reasonable time and was very nice.

Spencer's bar is a hidden gem that from the main road ,you would not know it was there only if you are local you would know.

Ate here twice during our recent stay at the lodges. Staff were friendly and the service was good. Great play area for the kids outside and games and toys inside. All the meals the family had were lovely and the steak I had on both occasions was excellent, melt in the mouth and tasty.

Have eaten here a few times and also had my boy's christening party. Within the area it offers something a bit different and modern in a convenient location and nice setting with a lake and playground. The food is very nice and family friendly. You order food at the bar. The toilets are lovely with individual rooms for all. Seems a bit like a work in progress and grounds could sometimes be more pristine but in a review world where 4 stars only means good in general this deserves a 5 from me and should probably even out at about 4.5 because the value is excellent but could improve a few final touches.

Lovely food and service was friendly, quick and helpful. Would definitely go back again. Toilets nice and clean.

We've just had one of our best family parties! The food is excellent, good value for drinks and wide range of cocktails. I couldn't fault the staff, they went above and beyond their role. Especially when we realised that we'd forgotten a laptop in the minibus, a member of staff dropped it off 15 minutes after we'd got in touch at midnight. The normal way would have been to keep it safe until someone picks it up the next day. But the lovely man I'd spoken to imediately took action to retrieve it to us in the best time! What a service! The kids had a lot of fun too! There is a huge play area at the back. I've hardly seen my son in the 7 hours we were there! A huge thank you for allowing us to gather there, top class venue! Lodges are available to stay and they are amazing, with hot tubs! Very clean throughout! (handsoap in the lodges' bathrooms would be just that little extra touch to make it outstanding!)

We have Been here a few times over the last 4 years!Visited with my Son as we had stopped at the Black Bull Caravan Park to visit the Modified Car Show on Fathers day.Every Year More Hard Work has been added to this tucked away Hidden Gem, the Staff are All very happy and Very polite we had No problems at all. We booked a table in the restaurant on Sunday evening and ordered 2 starters and 2 Mains, the starters came out very quick and were really Nice and ample.The Main courses were Spencers Burger & Mixed Grill that was cooked to perfection, a Big thank you to the Chef.We Love this Place as All the Staff are down to earth and as I say Very Hard working.Keep up the good work.Pete & Ross

A lovely place for a large gathering of friends. Food lovely and reasonable price. In a lovely location at the dude if a lake

I visit Spencers in a regular basis and have not been disappointed yet. There is always a warm welcome from the bar staff and a great atmosphere among the other customers. There is a varied menu and I can always find something that I fancy. We have always received good service from the waitresses and have never had to wait too long for food even on busy nights.

Me and my family were staying in the nearby caravan park when we came for something to eat at Spencer bar and grill. As soon as we walked in it had a great atmosphere and the lovely staff greeted us with a smile, we were offered drinks straight away and were seated swiftly. On the menu there is a variety of choices to choose from this is also reflected in the kids menu which had our kids spoilt for choice ! We didn't have to wait long for our food to come but while we did the kids played on the spectacular play area the kids absolutely loved it and we couldn't get them off it at home time. For main I had a steak and I couldn't fault it. The prices for drinks and food where very reasonable considering the quality. Overall the staff were friendly the food service was quick and me and my family had a very good time.

Came here for my friends birthday as it was lovely last time we came. However the staff were rude and had no clue what they were doing, constantly getting ignored and waiting 10 mins to be served for drinks!! When the food came, both burgers had a long black hair in the middle of them and they got the orders wrong. Not even a sorry was mentioned when telling the waitress about the hair in the food. Customer service goes a long way!!!

Arrived here after visiting flamingo land and place looked pretty quiet and nice. There was no one at the entrance so we asked if we could seat ourselves but were told we had to be allocated a table which was fine. After this point, things seem to go terribly wrong. We ordered the food and drink at the bar as no one come to take our order after over 20 minutes waiting. We waited very patiently for well over 45 minutes for the starter and were thinking what’s going on as there was barely anyone in to serve so what was the wait for as kids were getting very frustrated at this point. We asked a member of staff what the wait was and the food turned up eventually. The food was well average to say the least. We had finished the starter and simply no one come to collect the plates for another 25 minutes and then our foods again took another 20 minutes after this, after again prompting the staff to ask what the issue was with the delay for the mains to arrive. Tried to start the food only to notice they had not given us replacement cutlery.I had the ribs and steak but ribs were not the best but the steak was ok. My wife had a chicken dish but the chicken was way too dry. Again we were already very disappointed with the food, only to find to our amazement that a group of drunks had been seated next to us and our children and other diners who had children. The language from the drunks was disgusting and every other work was the f* word. At this point we thought we thought we better call it a day but thought better get a quick dessert to make sure kids were full. So we waited waited and waited for a staff member to come over top clear our tables. No one come so we had to go to bar to ask for a desert. After 20 minutes waiting for a piece of cake and ice cream, we asked the member of staff where the desert was, she cam back to advise that chef wasn’t aware of a desert being ordered even though i had already paid for it 20 minutes ago! She took the details and rushed to get the desert which arrived 10 minutes after. As a whole, this venue was an absolute shambles of a place and food was average to say the least but certainly nothing great what so ever. I won’t be wasting my money there again as staff had no idea what was going on and many a time young staff members were coming to our table asking if we had ordered this and that which we had not.

Stayed at pickering lodges and what a treat spencers bar & grill was for onsite food and drink the food was fantastic eat here twice in four days tried the black bull up the road but it does not compare to spencers bar grill price wise its value for money and the staff were fantastic do friendly even gave us free dessert on last night would defo recommend a visit or a stay at there lodges we will be back for sure ☺️

The complete Restaurant , bar, patio, and the grounds, founder fun place to take the family, the meal was very good, and the staff where next to none the best.

Time to try this place just 100 meters down a track of the malton to pickering road.Nice big car park nice building to look at inside is well laid out.clean and tidy plenty of room at the table.menu is great ribs burgers steaks etc. One sunday roast of beef etc. Portions was huge great job.Then come spencers burger.awsome big burger onion rings great chips salad the lot.If you are looking for a nice easy menu good value for money in a nice place.Look no further .best place ive been for food for a long time great service. Great portions .great value.its that good im of back this weekend.

Visited spencers with my husband on Saturday night. We had meat nachos starter to share. The portion was a good size and really nice. My husband had carbonara main and I had chicken with leek and bacon sauce. I ordered this with a jacket potato but it arrived with fries. This was changed straight away when I mentioned it. Again, the food was good and no room for pudding. The pub was very busy as there was a party on so we were glad we booked in advance. The pub was dog friendly which is always a bonus for us. We will definitely go back again next time we stay in Pickering. We were staying at the Black Bull caravan site so this pub was ideally located for us. Drinks were reasonably priced too.

Better visit this time with more staff behind the bar. Quickly served and seated with friendly waitresses.Food piping hot and plenty,cheap drinks,only disappointment was the disappearance of the camembert off the starters menu and one of our guests main course of cabronara was very starchy and lacking taste. They have started serving roast dinners (pork or beef) but none of us tried it so cant comment on them.Def can recommend and will return as I hope the camembert does!

We were staying at the local caravan/motorhome park. Having been in the pub next to the site which we found to be very expensive for drinks we went over to Spencers bar and grill. What a nice big place with separate rooms for dining and other activities. The place was very welcoming and friendly and the drinks nearly half the price as over the road for the similar drinks . The food being served looked excellent and feedback from the diners very good . We watched the rugby on a large screen TV . We had a very good couple of hours in there the bar staff were friendly and chatty.

I went here in December of 2016. It was lovely very cheap and huge portions. The venue its self is also beautiful you could defiantly get married here! I got sharing starter which was platter board or wings, ribs, coleslaw bits like that and it was huge I was full. I them had burger for main which was delicious.Go here and try it! very clean

My husband and I are staying at pickering lodges for our pearl wedding anniversary. Tonight we visited spencers bar and grill for our evening meal. My husband had chicken melt which was served with fries salad and coleslaw which he said was delicious. I had chicken ceasar salad which had sundriesd tomatoes beetroot and bacon served with it a delicious surprise. For dessert I had raspberry and passionfruit cheesecake and my hubby had salted caramel cheesecake which were both very good. We are going home tomorrow but hope to return in the summer. Great week.

We decided on Spencer's for our works Christmas meal because of the free transport.Staff were fabulously helpful and attentive, they made it easier for us all to pay.Food was great and really filling, we had a range of items and all was fab. Sat around until closing time and we weren't urged to hurry up to leave or anything. Would recommend it to anyone defiantly made it a night to remember.

Just had our Christmas party here last night, if not one of the best Christmas parties I've had. Food was perfect and came out promptly! staff were excellent! very very reasonable for what we got. Drinks too were fairly priced unlike in Pickering town itself.

We were staying at the lodges on the grounds and decided to have a meal here one night . Having stayed here on several occasions we new what to expect good value and good portion. Would recommend if you're in the area.

I would just like to thank Marie and her dedicated team for making Sunday an absolutely perfect day. The venue, the food, the drinks, attention to detail and the atmosphere was second to none. I wouldn't think twice about recommending Spencer's Bar and Grill to people. My boss was so impressed he booked our Christmas party. All I can say is thank you xxx
