Swallows Nest Restaurant in York

We have spent many a happy few hours in this lovely restaurant. The food is cooked to order and is very good quality. Service is always with a smile.

A friend recommended the curry night so we gave it a try. 5 homemade curries, including a veggie option, and you can have a taste of each before you decide. My wife went for the veggie option (cauliflour and courgette Dopiaza) and I went for the chicken Rogan Josh. Both were very tasty and came with rice and/or chips, bhaji, poppadoms, pickles and naan bread. There's a well stocked bar although I had coke as I was driving. We will be returning for another curry night and also ging the Sunday carvery a go. You can also get a takeaway so if you're in the area or live locally, give it a try.

Fuimos esta noche una familia de 4, yo y mi pareja y mi mamá y papá. No pudieron hacer lo suficiente muy amables. El menú era una buena selección y el nuevo propietario revisó los especiales. Tuve el pollo supremo al igual que mi padre era precioso. Mi madre tiene spaghetti bolognaise ella dijo que estaba sabroso y lo disfruté. Mi compañero comió una hamburguesa, fue muy agradable "hamburguesa adecuada" y bollos de pan agradables (¡no la caída al tipo de pedacitos!) muy generosas porciones sin duda volveremos! ! También una excelente selección en el bar. . Las variedades de ginebra son una de mis favoritas.

En realidad, vivimos en el campo de golf en este momento y estábamos ansiosos por que el nuevo propietario se hiciera cargo. Fuimos por un asado con nuestra hija y su pareja y fue hermoso el cordero era tan tierno que se hizo pedazos. Excelente elección de carnes y verduras. El bar estaba bien abastecido y el nuevo propietario fue muy acogedor.

Atmosph mal porque era muy grosero. Nuevos residentes intentaron ayudar dándoles un consejo que no le gustó.

We went here in October last year + we all couldn't wait to come back. But we were all very dispointed. Only 2 choices of meat - were told at least 3 on booking. Beef was lovely but pork was just scraggy little bits of meat. Ran out of some veg .The carvery was lovely. The main problem was the service or lack of it. 2 waiters just stood about doing nothing while all tables were full of dirty plates. After waiting nearly half an hour our table was cleared by a really miserable girl who obviously didn't want to be there. Then our desserts were brought by a lad chewing gum ( not nice).We all said the deserts looked like they had been bought from farm foods. As I went to the toilet the kitchen door was open + on the side were Aunt Bessie's boxes for the deserts we had just had. All uncovered - could have been there all day. This place has recently been taken over by new management but unless they don't improve their staff and service- can't see it lasting long.- Shame !!

New management at Swallows Nest, only been in a few times in last 10 years, called in yesterday for a drink. Returned for carvery today, lovely food and 10% discount for caravan site guests. Will definitely be coming in more often

Excellent venue for breakfast, lunch and Sunday lunches are great and lovely friendly people and you can still play golf as well if you wish. Handy for York.

Having already made certain, earlier on that morning, that 5 people could be served lunch, we duly arrived. Most of the restaurant was laid up for Christmas parties. We were seated at a hastily laid table by the window, with a view of uncollected glasses left outside from the previous night. Given a couple of sticky menus, we ordered; as it happens, we all wanted something different. Forty minutes later, in a freezing room with unlit fire, we were forced to enquire how long the food was going to be - starving kids don't take too well to waiting ages to be fed. Ten minutes later, the food arrived. In a hurry. Scampi slid off plate onto floor. When it did finally arrive, the food was OK, actually. Reasonable portions, well cooked, chips a bit overdone, but some of us like them that way! We didn't wait for puds - we were in a hurry to get warm. And the chef could do with showing her jacket a washing machine. Very disappointing.

What a find! This is by far the most welcoming, comfortable holiday cottage we have stayed in. The wonderful photos don't do it justice and the small touches like flowers in each room, hamper, cake, fresh eggs, fire pit in the woods, all take Swallow's nest to the next level. John and Katy are there if you need them but give you space. The kitchen is well equipped and there are books, games, torches, umbrellas... even binoculars to spy the birds on the well filled bird feeders. It's all so clean too and there's great disabled access including a walk in shower. I would recommend this place to everyone and we will be back. Thank you John and Katy x

Pleasant atmosphere friendly staff good service let down by the quality of the foood starters were only average the carvery choice of turkey or beef the beef was dry & overcooked vegetables were very bland desserts were ok coffee luke warm at twenty pounds each not good value.

We try and go to there restaurant aleast once a month! The Sunday lunch is excellent, four choices of meat, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, stuffing balls, Yorkshire pudding, mash potatoe, and aleast four vegetables. We have just been today(Sunday,27th Nov2016) I had Roast Lamb and my husband had Roast Beef and in one word we are stuffed...... What more can I say. See you soon.

I had heard about the new pizza service from one of my friends and decided to try it, I have to say it was the best pizza have ever had! It was beautifully cooked and the staff were really helpful and friendly, I would definitely recommend to anyone! I have been back to try the Sunday carvery and again, it was beautifully cooked. There is no doubt it is all freshly cooked and the meat was perfect and tender. Again the staff were brilliant, they have definitely gained a regular customer!

The resteraunt is situated in wonderful grounds of wheidrake golf club. It is a very spacious place,the resteraunt is well decorated and clean,the staff are pleasant and polite and very helpful.the Sunday carvery is second to none the food is excellent and value for money,same can be said for their puddings as well,will definitely by returning.it is advised that you book as it is very popular.

A game of golf then a first class Sunday carvery. Staff very friendly food cannot be faulted. Restaurant busy with good atmosphere. Excellent value for money.

Este restaurante está situado en lo que podría ser un primera clase campo de golf conexo con un sitio de campamento, pero la comida es mala. Es una lástima, porque el entorno es genial y el personal más acogedor, pero cuando llegamos a las 12:30 h, casi acabado de comida, y no había muchos clientes. Lo que fue hecho a la muerte y más apetecible.
