We visited spencers bar and grill while we were on holiday in the area. There is plenty of parking available and has a great atmosphere inside. We visited just after 5 pm. on a Wednesday evening, and it was quiet, but after 6 p.m., it did get a lot busier, so I recommend booking in advance. The menu is okay. It doesn't have much available, and you don't have a desert on the menu. You will have to look at the blackboard to see what they have on offer. There are plenty of seating areas we sat in the conservatory over looking the park. There is plenty to do in the garden for children to play on from slides to swings to roundabouts. The only thing I didn't like behind the children's park is a pond with no barrier around pond, so please keep an eye on your children as it's very deep water. I ordered a burger, and my wife ordered a mixed grill. The food was lovely but not the best but the price was very reasonable, better prices than local pubs. My children had pizzas, and they were amazing. I would highly recommend getting pizzas as they are not too big but really tasty.

Just called in for a quick drink me and my wife and two dogs . My wife went to the bar while I kept the dogs outside and my wife wanted as large glass of Merlot and was told you will have to buy a bottle as we only serve Shiraz by the glass so bought a bottle and me a pint of beer . Then I went in and bought myself a pint as my wife had a bottle to get down because the pint was under five pounds they said had to pay cash which I didn’t have so had to pay by card but she wasn’t happy

I recently visited Spencers and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing value and delicious food offered at this establishment. The affordability of this place is truly remarkable, as my group of four was able to enjoy a round of drinks for just £10. The food at Spencers may be described as basic, but the flavors are truly exceptional. The dishes are packed with flavor and have a unique twist that sets them apart. One of the things that stood out to me was the perfect blend of traditional favorites and local specialties on the menu. This fusion of tastes is a commendable approach that adds an extra dimension to the dining experience. I firmly believe that a sign of a good establishment is when it is frequented by locals, and Spencers seems to have earned that reputation. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great value, tasty food, and a welcoming atmosphere. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience the culinary delights that Spencers has to offer.

Found this place by chance on road back from Flamingo land. There was 7of us in the group - 5 adults and 2 children. We were all very hungry after a busy day in the park, menu suited us all and we all choose different meals. Every meal was delicious and hot with huge portions, infact so much so that we didn't have room for a dessert, we were very full but completely satisfied with the food. Staff were all very pleasant. Would highly recommend visiting Spencers if you find yourself in the area and hungry, you won't be disappointed.

Strangely enough this place is not signposted from the road although it appears that the locals do know about this place and for a good reason, the beer and food are very good. We had the rack of ribs and a side of boneless chicken thighs, very delish 😋😋 You have to order food and any extra drinks at the bar and pay at the bar but the food does get delivered to your table! There are lots of tables to choose from inside and out and the very helpful, very friendly and very hardworking lady in charge still took the time to explain that Spencer was actually the name of her dearly long departed dog!!! Would easily choose this place over the nearby Black Bull pub but would visit both again.

The staff are really friendly. The food was served promptly and piping hot. I'd highly recommend starting with a sharing starter as the portions are large. We were the only diners in the dining room and I would be intrigued to visit the restaurant when it has an atmosphere to enjoy. Of all the meals out my party ate during out short break in Pickering, this was by far the best value for money.

Back in 2 years wow changed is not the word. Had food mixed grill over half plate chips & meat okay asked for rare for well done. Attitude staff good owner awful dirty dishes full of scrap food & glasses left in conservatory 🤮 was in there 40min playing pool non staff come to clean 1 table let alone the 7 or 8 full awful Lager no head in lager so asked to stop at a point so I'd have a head, slammed glass on bar. Pool table not releasing balls for a full game, asked if they could get ball. Owner immediately put an out of order on it and give him the pound back. Forget it keep the quid. Lived this place atmosphere and staff was ace. Never again shocking dnt go.

Food was fantastic, not the biggest menu but definitely big enough and something for everyone, really well cooked, some unique items and really really large portions! Would advise sharing a starter as I couldn't finish my main! The drinks were a little on the pricey side however that is to be expected, the staff were friendly and attentive

If you’re staying in the area you MUST eat here. OMG the portion sizes are immense, we were foolish and ordered sides with our ‘tray’ meal (plates wouldn’t hold all the food) needless to say not many were eaten. We ordered the salt and pepper tray, the American combo and the ribs from the grill section, garlic mushrooms which were not breaded and fried as you’d normally get but in a creamy sauce with 2 bread rolls and salad, garlic bread and onion rings. We should’ve taken photos but we were so amazed by the sizes that we just made a start as we knew we were in for a long haul.

The venue is brilliant, the playground is heavily invested in & the lodges are very well equipped and comfortable. Great bar with local atmosphere, clearly a drinking hole for many locals. It is such a shame that the food is terrible. Chips are over cooked / double cooked and saturated in oil, not nice. Everything deep fried tastes of fish as it is clearly cooked in the same old oil. The burgers are nice, other non-deep fried foods are nice. Pizzas are bought in from a wholesaler and not made fresh - all things you would expect from a restaurant that has too much selection on its menu & everything ends up being generic, bought from wholesaler and simply heated in the kitchen. The outdoor area is ruined with the smell of burning oil vented into the children’s playground making the two or three tables immediately outside the conservatory completely unusable when the kitchen is operating at peak times. Small changes to the menu and the kitchen would make this place a great evening destination for families.

Had the rack of ribs which cost the same price as from a grill such as TGIs or Hickorys but the meat was the quality of a £5 rack from Tesco (reconstituted pork) not proper meat. Chips were cooked in oil that needed changing. Got a refund and left. This is not an American bar and grill diner. It's a cheap transport cafe charging full grill prices

Dined here 2 nights (6th and 7th May 2023). Absolutely delicious food. VERY generous portions and well worth the price you pay. The portions are massive, so either be a competitive eater or order less than you expect as you will be happily full before the plate is empty. Staff working here are an absolute delight too. Very pleasant and welcoming. Very nice atmosphere too and very picturesque surroundings.

Located off a main road, and part of a static caravan and lodge site. Bar and restaurant. Split into 3 areas, main bar large dining room, then into a plastic roofed sun trap area, with more seating and outdoors has a small park with a beautiful pond area and more seats, dining areas. Friendly staff, decent home cooked food, had the Sunday dinner, and others had different things! General consensus was that it was decent grub. Has a good cool pint of John Smith's in boiling temperatures too.

We had a lovely meal here as a family of 4 (2 kids age 8 and 2). The food was great and well priced. There is a well maintained play area outside which keeps the kids busy. One of the staff members was cleaning the play area and noticed how much out youngest loves to sweep up, so he found a small sweeping brush for him to play with and gave him a lollipop for helping. He was absolutely delighted, and what a lovely gesture. Will certainly go back when we're next in the area.

Absolutely disguted and let down, my wife rang up earlier in the day to book a table for thr evening but couldn't get through to anybody so a message was left regarding booking information. However upon arrival staff had not been notified of this what so ever. Decided to book a table anyway, informed them of amount of people and dog that would be with us but an hour later when we were ready to eat there was apparently no tables that were able to suit us making it impossible for us to eat their despite trying to book hours beforehand and once again in person . Staff were apologetic but couldn't help our cause, was last night of the holiday and disappointing to say the least.

"you enter as a stranger and leave as a friend" said the bar room sign which greeted this weary wanderer who'd taken a wrong turn. I ordered a pint and sure enough before it was pulled I was in conversation with a local man who thenintroduced me to the bar staff! The Sunday Roast was in full swing, the campers were in and out from the pub campsite and the occasional labrador was stealing hearts but nothing seemed to much trouble for the staff. This is a proper country pub, as warm and cosy as a storybook cottage and it's charm appeared to be working on a nearby American couple who's fantasies of an Olde English Country Pub had all just come true. I was on foot and was a few miles from the nearest town but lo and behold one of my new-found companions insisted on giving me a lift... As I exited the bar I glanced the "enter as a stranger and leave as a friend" sign again - this pub does what it says on the tin!

Absolutely loved this pub/restaurant. We sat outside with our dog at one of numerous tables and had a delicious Sunday lunch. So much flavour in the meat and the roast potatoes were the best. A bit pricey but worth it for the setting, the food, the service and the landlord brought out some steak pieces for the dogs to share. Amazing.
