The 21 High Street in Selby

Have visited many times. Staff wearing masks and tables well spaced out. 50% off pizzas Mon-Fri. Excellent pizzas but pizza menu is unusual. Not many classics. Definitely alternative pizza toppings such as falafel and tzatsiki and squid pizza. Not that great for the unadventurous but worth a try. Other options such as burgers, tapas and flatbreads available.

(30th September 2020) Stopped off in Taddy during a little golf tour. We initially fancied an Italian but they were not open when we found it at around 5-20pm so we decided to go to the main street and try 21. All the usual Covid restrictions in place but got a table no trouble. We were given a menu and decided to have the burger as it sounded really nice. After ordering I noticed on the wall that they were still participating in the eat out for less offer and that same night was 50% off pizza's. I was kicking myself as I would have rather had a pizza but wasnt going to cancel my order and reorder something else. £13 for a couple of burgers and fries was actually ok. The food was quite tasty so thumbs up. The staff very helpful and polite.

A long time since our previous visit, we won't leave it so long again. Food was very good. Covid precautions weren't too bad but staff did not wear any form of face covering which I feel they should have done.

Pre booked a table for 2 for 7pm as part of the eat out help out government scheme. We were shown to our table and handed a menu. We both decided to take advantage of the offer so picked the most expensive choice- steaks Unfortunately when we came to order they had no steaks left! We ordered the burgers instead. Slightly disappointed with how the burger was in the wrong bread ( very tricky to eat!) and the whole meal on a slim wooden chopping board ! However it tasted fine . Staff were friendly and service was generally ok. Would go back and recommend.

I booked a table for two this afternoon (5/08/20) and was served by two lovely people! The food was fab and the service was even better! I felt very attended too and looked after! I couldn’t recommend the place any more. Thank you for a lovely afternoon and being a highlight during these awful times. I’ll definitely be back!!

Fantastic pizza, great little find, great with kids. Service great. Quick service , reasonably priced, great deals different nights of the week.

Went last night first meal out since lockdown had pizza and 4 tapas dishes great food and lovely staff well worth a visit

After visiting this establishment when they reopened I discovered the staff to be very ignorant and rude. Especially the gentleman I believe to be the manager. Even stating at one point that we had to wait for him whilst he has a cigarette. We had 2 pulled beef Yorkie wraps and the “Aromatic Garden Burger”. I’m still unsure what it was about the “burger” that made it a burger as it was served in a baguette and was just a hot sandwich. Very disappointed in what was once a great restaurant. My previous visit was in June 2019 and it did not live up to any of my expectations this time.

Collected a meal for the family last Saturday and service was very friendly and professional and the food as amazing as ever! The pizza melted in the mouth and the beer batted onion rings and fries were amazing! My very fussy toddlers literally inhaled their portions and tried to eat ours too :) Plenty for a family of 4 and at under £20 very much worth it, we may possibly be going back again today...:)

Met friends to go for a meal and drinks. This is a lovely place, nicely modernised and very friendly. Good choices on the menu and good quality when it arrived. Service was good, both friendly and quick. Look forward to a return trip.

We visited as visitors to the area and were pleasantly surprised ! As someone who is intolerant to dairy, it can be more difficult to eat out. However the chef was particularly proactive and spoke to me about my meal.The food was lovely with very quick service and the atmosphere was equally pleasant. Also the menu was well priced and in comparison to surrounding restaurants was considerably cheaper as well as having a good menu variety. Would highly recommend!

Amazing staff great food, the tapas was first class. Held meetings here also and it was exceptional.

Had dinner with friends today, five pizzas and 9 tapas dishes. The pizzas were really quite nice, fresh and plenty of topping. But the tapas is really cheap quality, the sausages were inedible they are so cheap and one of my friends actually had to spit back out the soggy fish from the fish and chip tapas. The chips were undercookd/raw and the prawns were overcooked. It's a very nice venue, cost and spacious, some of the staff are lovely, one of the women was particularly moody when bringing the food, didnt ask if we wanted anything and didnt bring any cutlery just kind of put the food down not saying anything and walked off (undercut hair). Had to go ask which a friendlier waitress brought the cutlery for us. Overall, not the worst, but would seek other options before returning for food. Would definitely reccomend for a drink, the beer was good quality...but Heineken is made in Tadcaster so....you would hope so

Saturday family meal.... pleasant enough staff but really poor quality food. Cheap sausages and pepperoni. Patatas Bravas in a hoi sin sauce... very odd. Puddings slightly better and food looked much better on other tables but really couldn’t recommend this place

Really enjoyed our meal here.... Lovely wood fired pizza oven. Very accommodating staff, great playlist of music and a lovely atmosphere. Plenty to choose from on the menu so something for everyone

Popped in here with family for a quick pint before the Kendal - Tadcaster game. We'd already ordered drinks for everyone and got a table when rest of family arrived with our dog. They joined us but we were then quickly told that dogs weren't allowed but we were directed to the rooftop terrace where we could take him. So jackets, scarves & hats were put back on and we headed upstairs. It was a nice little area but some of the heaters weren't working & those that did stayed on only for a about two minutes.It was no hardship though and we enjoyed our drinks but drank up quickly and headed to the warm bar at Tadcaster FC where the dog was welcomed with open arms.

Tapas and pizzas are good service good some lovely staff but the red wine is over priced and poor quality. i tried the merlot and shiraz both awful. When mentioned to the manager he wasn't interested at all. Also the i noticed although both glasses bought were large they differed in size wouldn't recommend either wines there shame as otherwise nice place

My wife and I got lunch here while spending a day and a half enjoying the barley-scentd atmosphere of Tadcaster.Their operation seems aimed at a typical night-life crowd. Decor is contemporary, with color-changing LED lights turning the bar-kick to all hues of the rainbow and an overall sleek appearance. They have a generous private party room and a smallish rooftop terrace.Their full bar provided my wife and I with some of John Smith's ale, fresh from the brewery of that name that's next door. We ordered from their menu of pub foods the quesadilla and the Yorkshire pudding wrap (!) with beef.And then we waited. I did not time it precisely but it took, I am sure, over 20 minutes for the food to arrive--and the place was not half full. We were nursing the last quarter-pint of our beers when the plates finally arrived.Food impressions: generous. My wife enjoyed her quesadilla. My pudding wrap was tasty and intriguing--I've had Yorkshire pudding (it's actually more like bread, to inform my fellow Americans) with a good cut of beef and dark gravy, and this dish came as a sort of hot pocket with a little pitcher of gravy on the side I had to let it cool a bit, and determined that the right way was to eat it from the hand, pouring a bit of gravy on bite by bite. It was not too sloppy that way, and I enjoyed it.The best part of my plate was the fries--best french fried potatoes I'd had in a month. Europeans produce pale, soft fries--these were nicely browned and crisp on the outside, just how I like them.All in all not a good tasting lunch, wish it hadn't taken so much time.

Catch up with a friend over lunch.

I'm not sure quite what to make of this place. When we arrived on Sunday for lunch there was only one other table occupied. We placed our order for food, which was one Quorn salad and a Halloumi Burger (£10) with an extra side of fries. We are both vegetarians so were please to see the Quorn option.

Lovely selection of Spanish dishes- cooked quickly and well. Really nice touch having a pizza bread to dip in the sauces Friendly staff We could see the chef preparing everything he is doing a fab job! Thanks

I came with a large group for lunch on a weekday afternoon so had arranged beforehand what food we would like. The staff were really friendly and a pleasure to deal with, and the food was ready on-time with no issues or mistakes on what was a large and complicated order. The best thing was that everyone was really happy with the food they got, with the pizzas and yorkshire pudding wraps being a particular hit. Would highly recommend for a lunch time visit if you are in the Tadcaster area. Thanks again!

As we live in Tadcaster we often eat here as food is always lovely,however the service was terrible...but the new manager and his team are excellent no more queing at the bar for a drink while eating and being ignored as as the previous manager was to busy on his phone or talking.we are really impressed at the attention and politeness of the new team and of cause the food is still really good with a new menue.

Popped into Tadcaster and spotted this very pleasant bar, several offers on for various days and as it's Monday we had any 2 pizzas for £11.99. Fantastic choice, all stone baked in an open kitchen and a wide array of choice. Nice ambiance with a very attentive and friendly staff, a real nice pleasant experience and definitely worth a visit, good beers and lots of gins on offer, again various offers for those too. Will be returning for sure!! Thanks folks!

Mid week evening meal with friends. We ordered 3 tapas dishes and a pizza. The food took over an hour to come and no apology was made when asked how much longer our food would be. When the food came two of the tapas dishes were cold. The prawns tasted liked frozen ones and chicken wasn’t spicy as stated on the menu. The dish was also swimming in grease. Will not be returning.

Called in for a quick cup of tea before going to an interview, food smelt great so had some fries as well ,the girl behind the bar was friendly, as was the assistant manager and on the ball very efficient I'll definitely be back

Had my 30th party here last Friday. Whilst the venue is gorgeous and a great size, I was disappointed when I arrived at 7.15 to be told that I only had the room until 11 despite being told it was mine for the night when we booked it months ago. This was apparently because 21 has become more popular on a Friday but then shouldn’t be advertised as a party venue. People were coming in before 11, using the bar and pushing into my guests when dancing. The next HUGE disappointment was the DJ. Despite being for our party between 9 and now 11 and knowing it was a 90’s party as I went up to remind him (and others requested 90’s songs) he kept playing older music and I think two of the requested songs. Then when it opened up at 11 he said THREE times about how it was someone else’s birthday when I was right in front of him on the dance floor! I can understand once but three times is a just plain insulting and he then played a song and said it was because she’d asked for it for her birthday!! Yet didn’t play mine!! Everyone however commented on the food and how nice that was. Overall I would book for a meal as the food is lovely and the staff are really nice but not for a party again.

Magnificent pizzas! We had Giardano, Rusrtica with halloumi and a 21 Hot hot hot. These are homemade proper bases with very tasty toppings. Better than a famous pizza place in Leeds centre. Well worth a visit!

First time here, very satisfied. Well baked crispy pizzas, fisherman’s catch (prawns/ whitebait / squid) fried in tasty batter: all lovely. Good IPA. What else you expect! Last but not the least : friendly service. Thank you

On a visit to England for a wedding, my wife and I visited ‘ The 21 High Street ‘ for drinks and dinner.

We visited here for something to eat on a Sunday evening, not many places in the area serve food after 3pm on a Sunday so we were grateful we could order food.

Nice meal with family for birthday - nice decor and atmosphere, friendly staff, great selection of gins and cocktails to choose from, nice tapas and pizzas.

Still serving when pubs had stopped we thought we might be 'settling' for anything we could get. How wrong we were! Delicious tapas, excellent service, good coffee and a shared giant cookie and ice cream. Need a nap now!

The staff were very welcoming, and allowed my sister and I to order off the Tapas menu, while my two children had deserts. They even prepared my son vanilla ice cream, even though that is not an option on the menu.

I went to bar 21 with a friend we ate there and had a pizza special 2 for 11.99 ..there were fantastic good value and a bonus as they were full size ..staff were very friendly and went out of the way to make you feel welcome ..very good stocked bar ..plenty of gins to choose from and very relaxed ..well worth a visit

A recent family visit, really enjoyed the tapas, never had them before, enjoyed so much went back a few days later, brother inlaw had the pizza which he really enjoyed too , looking for visiting in the future as I stay in Glasgow.

Came here for a meal after recently moving to the area and it being a venue suggested to us. It was fine when we got there, we ordered our drinks and set up a tab then the man behind the bar gave us menus, we ordered and sat near the kitchen. We could smell something burning and joked it was one of ours....it was! The left hand side of my pizza was black! Not ideal but I ate around it and continued my meal. Halfway through I saw something under my pizza. Thinking it was raw dough I scratched it and turns out it was the barcode/sticker from when they were purchased! One woman walked over and asked how our food was but as my partner began to say she walked off! It was a hi, bye moment. The final insult was when we went to pay and for two drinks, two pizzas and two sides it was nearly £55! Luckily I had sense to question it and when I was given my receipt I found out that there had been 4/5 drinks added to our bill! If we hadn’t thought it was that little bit too much we wouldn’t have checked, would have just paid it and never would have known. If they’ve done it to us how many other people have unwittingly paid for extra drinks?? Sorry but this is one ticked off our list!

This is a great bar with great staff and great pizza and tapas. Have also held small team meetings here in a private upstairs function room. Staff really look after you. Great beer and a huge selection of gins. A really nice bar.

Went here for lunch as one of my daughters lives nearby. We only booked a week in advance but it was very quite considering it was fathers' day. There were 8 of us - 7 adults and one 3 year old grandson. Service was slow as the barman took food as well as drinks orders and we were requested to order food at the bar. Orders should be taken at the table in any decent restaurant - casual dining or otherwise.

We visited here on reccomendation.On arrival on Sunday evening we arrived to find a very loud female acoustic singer performing....so loud we couldn't even make the barman hear our drinks order.we took a table near the kitchen.after 15 mins we were still not given a menu and there were no other diners.l loudly suggested we left.A young lad then came with a menu.we ordered the antipasta to share as a starter.2 meats.2 hummus and small garnish of salad and a slice of toast!.Followed by 6 tapas to share and bread.cod cakes had been frozen.chorizo and chicken...literally as described.chizo diced finely with shredded chicken.very dry.prawns in garlic were frozen prawns Cooke In oil served with raw fresh chillies.meatballs...obviously frozen with a spoon of a tomato sauce plopped on top..2 other dishes.Then the bread...2 more slices of toast.all 6 dishes served to us at once.we were then asked if we would like a plate to eat from!!What!!L had a gin an tonic...Bombay sapphire served in a nice gin glass with ice.When asked for some lemon my drink was taken and brought back with the tiniest slice of transparentlemon..whist our meal was been prepared the"cook"and l say cook not chef...chef he wasn't.. was chatting to his pals in the kitchen next to us.Very disappointing.we paid the bill and left.definately wont go back.Young lads l hope you read this report and learn from it.lf you want l will come and show you how to cook real tapas..not fast food from the freezer!We took photos of our food to show arround how bad the food was.

We called in for a drink around 10pm. Had a couple then decided to have one for the road. We asked the barman for another round only to be told (quite rudely) no, that was it!! It was well before 11pm and no last orders were called. Granted it was quiet but seriously...take someone’s money?! There aren’t many nice places in Tadcaster to drink, we live very locally but certainly won’t be coming back. Why turn money away?! Idiots. The manager was in too but didn’t seem bothered and certainly wasn’t the approachable, friendly sort that you can chat with. Think they all just wanted to be home. Bad customer service. I wouldn’t mind but it’s the second time this has happened to us, there won’t be a third. Avoid.

Always walk past on a Sunday and it's always closed. Finally managed to catch it open on a Saturday with 2 children in tow. Absolutely stunning interior and exterior, calm, relaxing and exactly what Tadcaster needs! Surprised it isn't more busy and more people aren't talking about it. A true hidden gem! And dog friendly.. we will be back many weekly now I know I have had this on my doorstep. Didn't eat, but the pizzas look unbelievable.

We planned to go to have a pizza at this restaurant the other Sunday. When we arrived close by we heard VERY loud music coming from inside so decided not to bother and we went somewhere else to eat. Shame as I was looking forward to it.

We decided to come here after meeting friends here for drinks recently and seeing the food coming out was looking forward. We were not disappointed. We were two adults and a 13 year old. The bar itself is spotlessly clean and the staff very friendly. We chose our drinks which the bar has a huge selection, Gins, very good selection of wines and real ales, a very thorough choice. We then sat in front of the open kitchen with a huge open pizza oven, which on a cold, wet Yorkshire day was great. We took advantage of the Tapas Tuesday offer and a meat calzone to share. Well, the food was excellent. The potatas bravas and belly pork were great, very good portion sizes, not too much not too little, seasoned perfectly. The calzone came with a gorgeous fresh pasta sauce and was as fresh as can be, we watched the chef make it! All in all the Tapas Tuesday offer, a good size calzone and fries, two soft drinks, two pints of lager and two wines ( one wine comes with the offer ) for three people £34. A bargain. You can't get food this good at one of the chain pubs at this price and the quality was excellent, we will be back! Tadcaster needs places of this standard and hopefully they will flourish. Great staff and a great place.

Just called in for a pint here. £4.60 for strongbow dark fruit. Won't be coming back in a hurry unless I encounter a lottery win. Nice place and atmosphere but out of my price range, can drink in centre of Leeds for less.

We went for a birthday meal as quite a large family, although we had to pre-book our meals they came out at separate times so some had finished before others, the staff were friendly & we was put upstairs so we had our own space

Moved to tadcaster and thus pub is our local. The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious.

We have eaten here several times in recent months and the pizzas are always excellent. Friendly staff and child friendly!

Ate here twice in December 2017. On both occasions the pizzas were really good (and both times happend coincidentally to be Mondays when there was a very good offer on pizza) . Service was a bit weak the first time, better the second . Yet to try the tapas -fairly limited range of tapas, so definitely recommend the pizza.

Called in for lunch, loved the tapas selection, all freshly cooked and delicious especially the garlic mozzarella dough balls.

We called in here on a Friday night, as someone from our offices were leaving. There were 7 of us, but given it was 5pm - we didn't think that we would have a problem being seated. In actual fact, the pub was very busy but the staff were very accommodating, so were were soon seated.

Great place to visit, Tuesday is tapas night, with 3 for £10.99 or with a glass of wine for 12.99. Great selection of food and portion sizes were spot on! Will be back to sample the other items on the menu

Excellent fresh pizza and tapas our 2nd visit Nice pleasant surroundings Will be back soon fabulous friendly service

As i was working around the corner at John Smith brewery, the 21 was the perfect place to finish a hard working day. Great charming atmosphere, good friendly stuff, great food and waiter who knows to deal with beer. Never get a glas with miss-taste.

Walked in to what is a cracking bar. Pants down an amazing selection of beers and a good offer for beer bucket.

We visited as a family of 5, our good was lovey, all came hot and I can definitely say very tasty.i would highly recommended. We will be back soon, lovey place ❤️

The pizza would have been nicer if it had been HOT and if it had been done for longer. The staff were nice.

Visited here on Monday evening after hearing very good reviews from a few friends. We did ring up to book a week in advance as we weren’t sure how busy it would be. When we turned up it was clear they weren’t aware of our reservation, but it wasn’t busy so we were seated easily and it wasn’t a problem. I think the staff that were on were very new and were a little slow with drinks, but they were lovely and very personable and nothing went wrong with our order so, again, it wasn’t a problem.

A few points to mention - firstly my friend and I ordered two coffees - americanos - I was asked if we wanted milk to which I said yes - the coffee arrived with the milk already in the coffee.......can't remember when that has ever happened before - surely it always comes on the side. The coffee was weak and not to my taste. I ordered another and asked for the milk on the side but the coffee was still weak.

We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon. The pub was not to busy and a large group of us were able to get seated no problem.

Good tapas selection, nice pizza, real ale and countless gins. Kids liked the calzone pizza desert., and the Ainsty pale ale (3.7%) hit the spot. Rhubarb and ginger gin with fever tree ginger ale recommended

We called into the pub after swimming at the local pool and we had a very enjoyable meal. Our three children were able to choose whatever pizza topping they liked from the main menu for a child sized pizza (which was still enormous!). The chips were delicious and everything was well presented. The service was especially good- the barman was lovely and chatty and very helpful.
