Spittal Inn in Ryedale

I went to Spittal Inn with my Gran and we had the Sunday carvery. My Gran likes to have a few types of meat and they were happy to accommodate her. I am vegetarian but was able to have either a vegetarian meal or a plate for the carvery provided with vegetarian gravy. We both really enjoyed the food, the desserts were fantastic and the coffee was really good too. There is also a small Victorian style arcade with local produce and antiques as well as quirky shops inside. After we had eaten we had a walk and bought some cakes fresh bread and fresh pies from the bakery. Well worth a visit we would both highly recommend!

We were four and we went on Saturday evening. There is a family room where we could take our dog. Good car park. The food was enjoyable. The landlady was very pleasant.

Rang to book table for 6 but later changed to 8 they were extremely helpful. We sat in snug. They were quick with table service of drinks and the menu was big enough for everyone to find something to eat. Never been before but definitely come again. Pub grub was lovely and tasty. Exactly what I was expecting and more lovely place.

Visited over easter break with family, the bar was child and dog friendly. Food excellent. The little shops attached where lovely and we came back next day for breakfast in the cafe. Will be visiting again and possibly staying on campsite too.

We visited with friends and our dog, Everyone there was so friendly and helpful a great atmosphere. We visited everal times during our stay in the area and found the food to be great. The beef on the Sunday carvery was fantastic. A really great place to visit. Thank you to everyone there for adding to our holiday by their caring attitude

You will see from my previous reviews that I don’t give bad reviews as I’m keen to support local independent businesses, but I couldn’t let this pass... Having visited previously, at August bank holiday, I thought that the manageress was just under pressure and short on patience. (Despite using the facilities in the less than comfortable family annex). We had a couple of children alongside a dozen + adults staying in the locality but her reception was frosty to say the very least! Having arranged a NY catch up we called in for a pre-meal drink before our partners and friends joined us. We were served our drinks and sat at the bar with my two nephews as all the other rooms were empty. The barmaid was very pleasant and the manager made no issue with us. The manageress was in the bar for literally seconds before making it clear the children weren’t welcome... it was blamed on our actions being illegal. As a lawyer and bar owner respectively we held a differing view, drank our drinks and left not to return again. Perhaps amended signage that states children are strictly not allowed in the bar would avoid such a poor experience, as we did specifically check for information on our visit today to try and avoid the August experience. When a young child says independently that “...the lady was very rude...” it brings perspective to a situation.

Called in today on the way to Scarborough hoping they could find room for us for the carvery. They found us a table and we had an excellent carvery. We had all 4 meats between the two of us and they were all great as were the veggies and Yorkshire pudding on its own plate! Very friendly, very helpful and good food.

Me and my family visited her this morning, we are local and had never been before so decided to give it a go. We went to let the children have a play in the playground before we went in for something to eat. There was a Large wooden Fort with a large slide which my son was playing on, and he wanted his dad to go up and have a look and go down the slide. Now my husband is in no way a large man, and as he was coming down the slide, a man out of nowhere appeared shouting at us saying "would you pay for that if you broke it, no you wouldn't, your sort don't, you'd just walk away". I asked him what he meant by our sort, but all we got was a barrage of abuse. This was totally unacceptable in front of my children. We then said we were going to go in and have lunch but wouldn't bother beacuse of his behaviour, and he said good, you should just go. Had we been behaving like louts I would have understood. But to speak to us like that was totally out of order. So I can't comment on food, as we didn't get that far! What made things worse was this man was the owner of the place. Needless to say I will in no way reccommend or visit this asstablishment again.

Called in here a couple of times and what a gem of a place this is. The landlord and staff very welcoming and the food was great. I can highly recommend the battered haddock, the batter was one of the best I have had, crispy to the end. My husband could not fault his meal of the lamb shank on a bed of creamy mash. Another bonus is that it is very dog friendly too so our best mate can join us. Will definitely keep returning.

We have driven past here hundreds of times but this was our first visit. What a fabulous place. Lovely tea room and outside courtyard. Friendly staff. The Victorian Street is wonderful - what a surprise. I'd advise anyone to go I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Having visited this pub about four years ago and been disappointed it was a pleasure to walk into it this time. The bar area was warm and the staff welcoming. We were taken through to the very pleasant restaurant area which was clean, well decorated and well presented. The young waitress was very polite, enthusiastic and efficient. From the extensive menu my colleague had a burger, chips and salad which he said was excellent. I had Steak and Ale Pie, Chips and veg. Now this is personal preference, I'm not keen on the separate cooking of a puff pastry lid being put on top of a dish of steak and ale. I much prefer a pie cooked together with its pastry top. But as I said it's my choice and what I had was excellent. We both finished off with Syrup sponge and custard which was lovely. The bill including a couple of drinks came to £39. Bargain! All the staff including those we assumed to be the landlord and landlady were extremely friendly and no doubt we will be visiting again.

Probably the nicest dinner experience accompanied by our dog whilst on holiday. Warmly welcomed by the Landlord and shown to the room designated for customers with dogs. The Landlord gave us the menus & kindly took our drinks order which was promptly delivered by the friendly Landlady.who also took our food order. The generous portions of prawn cocktail and sticky ribs starters, were lovely. The freshly cooked mains of good quality fillet steak were hot, superbly cooked and accompanied by fresh chips, tomatoes, mushrooms, a large jug of peppercorn sauce and garden peas. The only complaint was that we had no room for deserts and we had not visited earlier on in the week! The patrons were extremely friendly and pleasant who chatted to us and made a fuss of our dog. Options to dine in the bar area or restaurant with separate bar room for customers with their 4 legged friends. We will return on our next visit, to try other options on the extensive menu.and experience such a lovely atmosphere, great food and pleasant hospitality. Highly recommended.

Excellent food staff very pleasant go out of there way to look after my wife who has celiac desease.

We stopped by this little gem on the way from a trip to the seaside. We are a family of five, with young children. The landlord was so very welcoming, took the time to speak to the children, and the whole place has a very welcoming, cosy warmth about it. The food was so fresh, traditional, superb value & plentiful. We intend to visit again very soon. Really worthwhile.

Went for Sunday lunch, it was a fight against eating your food without the flies landing on it. The beer was flat, the food Luke warm and tasteless

We attended a family meal to celebrate my goddaughter becoming 21, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was homely. The meal was fantastic and couldn't eat all my meal, the owners even put a present on the table for my goddaughter. Absolutely amazing place and we all felt like regulars. Definitely reckon end and we will definitely return. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome.

We decided to pop in on our way to Scar borough. I had with me my friend and an elderly lady also.. we hadn't booked as we weren't expecting to stop .. my goodness I'm pleased we did .. the staff were Amazing, they couldn't help enough with our elderly friend as she has a walking aide. They were friendly and very informative.. and the FOOD was just wonderful. We went for the carvery..never have I enjoyed my lunch as much.. fabulous variety. The meat was super. The vegetables all fresh and everything was cooked to perfection... Then to top it all ... a wonderful shopping village attached to this gem of.a pub .. Just perfection all round... I would make the 2 hour journey from Gateshead every Sunday it's phenomenal.. don't miss it ... make a point of finding it on the way out of york on the way to Scarborough A64 .. I will be back.. they also have a caravan park . Which I'm going to book for a weekend with my grandchildren.. this is definitely somewhere I will visit time and again. . Thank you

we went to the spittal inn last sunday although we had not booked they soon found us a table when my wife asked about gluten free options the chef came out to talk to us and soon sorted out what she could have all in all a good meal and they have a dog friendly area will go back again food was piping hot and good quality

We were on holiday in Filey and wanted an evening meal for 5 adults and 2 children, one of the adults is a vegetarian so we choose our places quite carefully. We arrived one time and our table was ready, the 2 kids went off to play outside on the swings while we ordered and had a pre dinner drink. The starters we ordered were lovely and arrived promptly but there was a wait for the main course which was explained later. My rib eye steak was as good as I have ever had, tender, flavoursome and perfectly cooked, my daughters gammon, my wifes chicken, son in laws lamb shank were all reported as being excellent and very healthy portions, the vegetarian burger was said to be okay but not exceptional and she would choose on of the other vegetarian options next time we visit. The kids meals were just what they wanted, 3 sweets followed a couple more drinks and a coffee. The bill was an unbelievable £117, I have paid much, much more for food well below the standard set by the Spital Inn. The service was good and the wait staff very pleasant and the owner took the trouble to come round, apologise for the delay in our main course being served and explain that 2 staff had not turned up for work and he had been filling in. We all get problems in business but by taking the trouble to speak to us in person he has ensured that we will return.

Staff friendly and helpful, good range of dishes and delicious food. Visited previously and had carvery and was excellent value again food excellent. Would highly recommend!

Nuestro almuerzo festivo Lunes hoy aquí. Tuvimos que esperar un poco, pero nada que no nos esperábamos, ya que no decir toda la comida es fresco a la orden y no pido que ten esto en cuenta cuando haga su pedido. La comida fue presentada muy bien vale la pena la espera. Había cinco de nosotros y nadie tenía ninguna queja de ningún tipo todos disfrutamos muchísimo! El personal es muy amable y servicial. Los alrededores son muy cómodas y relajantes, volvería sin duda sí. Gracias por una comida estupenda!

Comida maravillosa, como siempre. Teníamos los cazadores de pollo y pregunté por el entrante bolognas rellenas de pimiento con sus fichas famoso como principal, esta era servido con ensalada de verduras frescas y lados. Absolutamente encantador! Todo servido con la habitual recepción amable que he...

Warm friendly service. Food was good quality and cooked well. Battered Parnips OMG!! YUm!!! The Sunday dinner is better than I could have cooked at home.

Fantastic food and brilliant service well worth checking out. The steak was wonderful and the chips home cooked. Combine that with good service makes this a ace to go to.

Can't say enough good things about the onion rings and chips, and me and the missus are somewhat experts. The lady and chef were both lovely people too

Lovely place to eat.Very welcoming .Plenty of beers on offer and large wine list.Food excellent and arrived quickly. Not much choice of vegetarian food though.I chose egg and chips. Hubby had lamb shank which was very good. Good play area outside next to nearby caravan site

Called in at the Spittal Inn for Sunday lunch today on the way home from Whitby. The food was excellent, plenty of choice of meats & excellent vegetables parsnips in batter & leaks in a mustard sauce were to die for. Staff were very welcoming & friendly & great value. Can highly recommend it.

Had another nice night here. Just the ticket for a cosy drink or a well cooked meal , they recently had a "murder / mystery " night , with lovely meal ! The actors were very good ,and all had great laugh on the night , for the cost , it was well worth it ! They are planning another one , so keep an eye on them for info , on mean time try them for Sunday lunch !

Don't miss the Sunday carvery excellent food the place is worth a visit cannot complain try it you will not be dissapointed

This is great fabulous excellent carvery choice of meats and vegetables giant Yorkshire Pudding. Would highly recommend and also pre- booking they do get busy.

We came here after having a dreadful time up the road in the Hare & Hounds. We were immediately greeted as though we were part of the family, they chatted to our 12month old daughter and even offered to watch her whilst we got our carvery. The food was great - the Yorkshires were epic! Definitely visit!

We called at the Spittal Inn for a Sunday lunch having been told how good it was by a family friend and how very pleased we were that we did. Beautiful themed Restaurant with a full carvery choice of meats all locally sourced, a real "Little Jem" of a find. The service was very friendly and prompt we will be back again soon. All in all a very pleasant experience that i can recommend. The kids play area was well above average for a pub and the little arcade of shops and tea rooms is a must for both visitors and locals!! I am looking forward to going back at Christmas to have a look round the Christmas shop.....

Had a lovely meal in here and some relaxed banter. Nice selection of beers. Pumps set up properly for a nice real ale. New owners are really friendly and attentive. Great camping / motor home site to with good views and all facilities. Looking forward to going again

Very welcoming and have a separate room inside for eating where dogs are allowed. Good food, good prices, attentive staff. Food all prepared and cooked on site.

Love this place! The food is amazing, beers spot on!! And everyone is so happy and friendly! Highly recommended to anyone, you won't be disappointed!! Well done to the new owners!!

We had an excellent experience here....we booked a table for 8 people and when we got there we were made to feel very welcome....we ordered our food and staff kept us updated how long the food would be....kids food was absolutely amazing and the adults was amazing too....we will definitely return when we are back in Staxton....the staff were very attentive to all needs

A bit off the beaten track this little restaurant is on the A64 about 7 miles from Scarborough. We didn't know what to expect from it, it looked fake old fashioned from the outside but it was open and in the right place.It was fantastic.Excellent food ( not too cheap but not expensive either ). Beautifully clean and very quirky this little place has everything going for it. You need to try the nachos for a taste experience. The fish gougan was crisp, tasty and downright perfect. This place is worth the visit when in the area.

This place is open for camping as well as offering restaurant quality food. We stayed here for a week in August in our touring caravan with four children aged 11-15. I like to review places open and honestly so here you go:Pub: Fabulous quaint little country pub with a small bar area and separate family room. It's like stepping back in time! Dogs are welcome and there are tables outside for when the sun is shining. The staff are friendly and the conversation is always flowing.Restaurant: We ate as a family of eight - with parents. The waiting staff were friendly and attentive. Orders were taken swiftly and drinks were served soon after ordering. Food was cooked fresh and to our liking. It was absolutely delicious.Camping: Location: POSITIVES - Ideal location for Scarborough, York, Filey. Bridlington, Whitby and all the popular tourist destinations the North Yorks area has to offer. Easy to find, right off the A64. NEGATIVES: Quite close to a main road so traffic noise may cause you an issue, but it didn't really bother us.Site: POSITIVES: Massive field with EHU and fresh water / waste disposal area. Separate members area. Gazebos allowed. Dog friendly. No extra charges for children / awnings (which is a great point!) Pub and restaurant on site. Tea room serving breakfast and lunches. Toilets and showers are cleaned often (Can become grassy in the mornings, but that is to be expected). NEGATIVES: There are only three showers for ladies and two showers for men. This can cause queues at busy times. The showers have clearly had a lot of money spent on them recently, as they are of impeccable quality, however, they lack a shower curtain between the shower and your changing area, and so your clothing can get quite wet while you're getting dressed. Showers are operated on a "push button" unit, and the water flows for 18 seconds before cutting out so lots of time is spent pressing the button for more water. It's not a deal breaker, but it's easily fixed.In all, we absolutely LOVE this site. The owners, Sandra and Alan have clearly worked hard to make your camping experience a pleasure.# There is no shop on site, so if you run out of milk, you would need to drive about ten minutes to the nearest garage / shop.Will definitely return.

We love coming for the Sunday lunch staff lovely and always look after my grandad very well when it was his 92nd birthday they were very gracious and catered for our needs helping surprise him with a birthday cake fully recommend the spittal inn

The menu looked quite interesting as it had the usual pub fare plus a couple of different items. We chose the blackened Cajun spice fish and the stuffed peppers. The fish was over spiced and the peppers had no flavour, shame they could've moved some spice from the fish to the peppers and both dishes would've been better. Also the prices are quite high.

We called here on one of those rare british summer evenings when it is actually warm enough to eat outdoors. The blond lady behind the bar was very welcoming and the bar area was spotless. We took a table outside which was lovely although the restaurant is adjacent to the very busy A64 the clever screening of green trees and shrubs block it and the traffic noise effectively.Our meals arrived swiftly, piping hot and quite large portions we settled down to enjoy our meals, the setting and the summer sunshine. Unfortunately then the adjacent table's occupants all lit up closely followed by the owners and staff taking the table on the other side and subsequently all lit their cigarettes. Trying to eat our meals in a cloud of smoke marred what would otherwise have been a pleasant experience. Maybe just us being fussy.

I love the olde worlde feel to this pub, plenty of character and very attentive owners and staff.The food was also very good - burger and two Canadian steak sandwiches went down very well and plenty big enough for a lunch.Shame it isn't always open though - this was the third time we had tried to visit, including on a Wednesday when it was advertised as being open.

We had a lovely lunch at the Spittal Inn. As soon as you get in the place has a really warm welcoming feel. It's clean, comfortable and the food is delicious. I had the steamed chocolate sponge as a treat and it was lovely.

Visited today for first time today & had the Carvery, four of us & one child cost £60 with drinks and Carvery, fresh vegetables, choice of 3 meats very nice, lovely staff & very friendly

we had the sunday carvery fresh vegetables plenty to choose from . The sweets are home made and are very tasty, was stuffed when finished ,excellent value for money, staff very friendly and helpful, very clean and tidy for an olde world restaurant would recommend to anyone to eat there

We called at the Spittal Inn today for lunch.It was our first time.... We were very impressed! It had a friendly atmosphere and the staff were very helpful.We had snacks ... my husband had the club sandwich which came with salad and homemade chips and I enjoyed a cheese and red onion chutney sandwich with salad and homemade chips too ... both were very enjoyable. We will look forward to returning! No hesitation in recommending it!

we visited Spittal inn today and had a lovely meal. Staff were very friendly. we will be going again

We visited Spittal Inn for a weekend in October and found the food and hospitality to be excellent. We stayed in our Campervan in the well maintained field at the rear of the pub and ate in the restaurant on two evenings. The menu comprised traditional pub food, nicely done, sensibly priced and with attentive service. This is a lovely spot to stay, is just a short drive from Filey and is a well placed stopover for those travelling further up or down the coast. Highly recommended.

Staff were very pleasant and the burgers were to die for! Everyone must try the spittal inn burger. Would definitely return.

This restaurant was a nice place to dine, we took advantage of the early bird menu which was great value for money. The service was spot on and the portions were huge.

Came here while on holiday looking for a nice cooked meal. Was very pleasntly suprised. They made an extra seat at a table for us to sit 5. It was carvery day and after a few minutes wait as it was rather busy we could be served. The food was lovely, well cooked and exactly what you'd want from a carvery.it was just what we needed after a long day and the pudding was very nice too. Good value for money and with friendly staff. Thumbs up.

Called in on a busy Sunday, we only waited a short time to have our carvery. The only thing I did find odd was there were no menu's on offer to browse. Although we were happy to have carvery it would have been nice to see a menu, that's if they even offer anything else. Also the price for carvery is not well advertised (if at all). When we were asked if we'd like pudding I asked if we could see a menu, the hostess said that was fine and she'd send a waitress with one, to which she arrived to tell us that she was the "menu "!!All that to ine side the food was delicious, lots of veg to choose from and the puddings were fantastic.

Drove past this pub a few times on our holiday and decided to try it, so glad we did.The Calvert was outstanding, the beef was a little dry but the turkey and ham were so moist and tasty. Very pleasant staff, although staff issues should be resolved in private and not in the restaurant.

we were welcomed as soon as we went in our drinks were taken to our table along with menus,there was a good choice at reasonable prices it was well cooked and nicely presented.we had the carvery on the sunday and there was a good choice.we went back during the week for evening meals and there was a choice of early bird menu or the nomal one.We would highly recommend it was a nice comfy and clean pub and the staff were very obliging

When the spittle Inn do it. You arrive, sit down, order drinks, ok, Then you are told that you must be told when you go to the carvery for your food. Thats ok as the place is fairly full. But when you have waited for 20 minutes and only 4 people have been to the carvery in that time you think you have misunderstood and you get up and go to carvery. A waiteress who up to that point managed make you think you are invisible rushes up to you to tell you must wait your turn. No wonder the place is busy you must not leave you seat for the first hour to start lunch. We decided not to stay as we might have still been there at midnight. The when we went to pay for 2 halves of carling that we left half drunk we where charged £4.500

Most welcoming lovely surroundings just like an old fashioned country restaurant and bar , well maintained and very clean , we had the early bird menu which was as good as any meal you would pay lots of money for , beautifully cooked and well presented who could ask for more ! Real good value don't know how they managed to creat such a fabulous menu at such a good price too ? A little gem and will be returning again very soon !!
