The Aldwark Arms in Hambleton

A wonderful pub. We popped in to have a drink and despite the fact it was really busy, all the staff made us feel really welcome. There was a lovely, friendly atmosphere. We returned the next day for a Sunday dinner. There was plenty of food, all delicious and service was great. We will definitely return.

This pub/restaurant is not disabled or wheelchair friendly. No disabled toilet. It is difficult to enter if you are unsteady on your feet. Could do with a handrail up the entrance steps. I was very disappointed with my Sea Trout meal. It was drowned in a cream sauce. This made the dish sickly, the potato rosti soggy and the spinach/chard limp and lifeless. The waitresses were very helpful and the pubs greatest asset.

Visited when had Mexican evening - chicken tacos were amazing. It was busy and quite noisy when we arrived and we really appreciated being offered a table in a quieter room. We stayed put but appreciated the consideration. Staff really helpful.

Friday the 13th and time to visit the Aldwark Arms, a local pub where we haven't been for a while. I was definitely feeling lucky as someone else was paying. So what was not to like? Well nothing as it turned out as every dish was "not bad" - bxxxxy brilliant when translated from Yorkshire. This charming traditional Yorkshire pub is everything you could wish for – a cozy atmosphere, friendly faces, and food that is very good! Let’s start with the fish and chips. Wow! The portion was Whale sized. The fish batter perfectly crisp and not too gloopy on the inside. The fish cooked as well as the Magpie in Whitby - now that is praise. Just perhaps too much batter on the ends for a fish of its size? The fish pie, another highlight. Packed with fresh, flaky fish and topped with a delightful, creamy mash, it was comfort food at its finest. Each bite a taste of home. But it didn’t stop there. The sticky duck salad was a creative twist that was both delicious and different. The duck was tender and the sweet glaze added a unique flavor that really made the salad pop. Our experience was made even better by the exceptional service from Emily. She was attentive, cheerful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable meal. O' Level English language summary now: The Aldwark Arms is a true gem offering hearty portions, fantastic value for money and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. If you’re in North Yorkshire, don’t be put off by the 40p toll charge over't Ure - go as you’ll leave with a smile and a very satisfied tum!

Fantastic family meal. Great fresh food, quick and very considerate service. Waiting staff were great and ensured we were comfortable. Kids enjoyed sausage and mash and pizza and adult meals of steak pie with brilliant fresh vegetables and nacho chicken salad were fabulous! Easy to book online. Would recommend!!

Pre birthday dinner for 14 The Aldwark Arms (especially Courtnee) were fantastic in organising and delivering a great meal for 14 people on a busy Friday in August. The food was great and the service brilliant. They even took the trouble to put on table clothes and decorate the table. Thank you. We’ll be back soon.

Food and service was amazing. I had the fish pie which was the best I have ever had and was loaded with fish. My wife had the brisket burger, which was the biggest burger I have ever seen, she couldn't finish it and I was lucky enough to get some as it was delicious. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

We went here for a meal whilst on holiday. We had visited 4 years ago and found it as good as it was then. We sat in the conservatory which did get very hot until someone opened a door. The staff were friendly. There was a mistake with our order - they bought me fish pie when I had ordered steak pie. They apologised and my meal was brought out about 5-10 mins after my husband and daughters. However when we came to pay the bill was wrong (too much) as they had put fish pie on it instead of the steak pie. The food was delicious.

Certainly not the dining experience that it used to be a couple of years ago. Starters were fine but my fish pie for £20 was just terrible - effectively a pie of mashed potatoes, 2 tiny bits of fish and a single prawn. After I complained, a table behind also complained of exactly the same issue with their fish pie. It spoiled the evening out with my wife and although it was deducted from the bill I left having just eaten a starter and some wine. I wouldn't go back.

Had and excellent gluten free Sunday lunch with my wife. The food was delicious, and lots of it for the price, and it was served by lovely staff. The family that have taken over the Aldwark Arms are doing a great job and thank you so much for a superb afternoon

We had not been before but heard good reviews from friends so booked to go as a group. So pleased we did. The atmosphere was welcoming and the quality and selection of food was excellent. All the staff we spoke to were very pleasant, informed and helpful, nothing was a problem. We will definitely be going back. Thank you.

Brilliant experience, had a lovely meal with my family, then watched a brilliant firework display. Fantastic all round.

This is my favourite pub in aldwark near York, Absolutely wonderful! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was fantastic. Wonderful staff and a great menu I had Sunday Roast,glass red wine Merlot and to finish I had the brownie with ice cream, everything was delicious thank you for your accommodation see you soon

Fantastic Sunday lunch- super tasty and great service. The interior was nicely decorated and there was plenty of choice We will be back.

We received attentive, friendly and efficient service from the moment we arrived. Both meals were excellent and reasonably priced. The vegetables were beautifully cooked. We will definitely come back when we are in the area again

Excellent service, the staff couldn't be more helpful. They even offered an extra pot of gravy. The food was absolutely delicious. We would recommend the Sunday roasts. Thank you for a great experience.

Booked a table at The Aldwark Arms before we drove home post holiday & it finished off a wonderful break with delicious food. Glad we booked as it was busy without being cramped though we didn’t have to wait long for our orders to be taken & wonderful food to be brought out. All the waitress’s & waiters were polite, attentive & approachable & the place clean. My husbands onion bhaji starter was different but divine & we both thoroughly enjoyed our roasts. My apple & peach crumble was amazing, compliments to the chefs & all the staff at The Aldwark Arms, wish we were more local!!

outstanding !!! food a change from the norm this is a really great find in the area a change from the usual fare on offer staff were helpful and pleasant we will be back !!!

We booked the room at the back for my mums 80th birthday celebrations. The food was wonderful and all hot ( 12 of us to serve) The staff were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and they all came to sing Happy Birthday to our Mum which was such a sweet touch.

A really lovely, welcoming pub with great food. I had the steak and ale pie which was supremely tasty and I could certainly taste the ale. The chips were very delicious also. They provided me with extra gravy with no additional charge too. The staff were attentive but not over-bearing and are a credit to the Arms. Thank you to the staff for making this a hugely enjoyable visit!

Excellent, dog friendly pub with wide variety of gluten free options and wheelchair accessible. We were made very welcome and the food was outstanding. Excellent service by very friendly staff. The rump steak flatbread was a revelation, fantastic, delicious and very generous portion. Beautiful smoked salmon. Will definitely visit again next time we are in the area. Highly recommended.

The Aldwark Arms is a five minute stroll from the rear entrance to the Manor. It serves a wide selection of drinks and excellent bar/restaurant meals in comfortable surroundings. A shared starter and main course with two drinks each was reasonable considering what it cost to wine and dine at the moment! My wife and I would have also eaten at the pub on the Tuesday had it been open. Best pub around for miles!

Very accommodating - divine food, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere and lay out. When we come back to York, we shall be sure to re-visit as this really was a big hit with all of our party. Location is great too - nice walk around the...

Went for Sunday lunch, was superb, waiting staff fantastic, roast were great, lots of veggie, all cooked really well and the meat and nut roast both hit the spot. Recommended for anyone, just a shame we live so far away.

This is a lovely pub built on warm, family foundations. The staff are lovely. They accommodated my children’s special requests of Pasta and it was extremely delicious! Such a great atmosphere and can’t wait to visit again soon!

Just had the most gorgeous Sunday roast. The beef was cooked to perfection as we're the veg. Staff were attentive without domineering from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. We wanted extra gravy and it came. Truly faultless. We will be back. Thank...

Been here a few times but drinks prices getting ridiculous - pint of lager and a large glass of wine nearly £17 !! We are NOT in the middle of York merely a nice country pub. New menu not very imaginative - however always great...

Very regular customers as we loved the extensive range of dishes. Unfortunately the varied menu has now been reduced to a very limited range and we could only find one veggie choice (so not a choice). We were told this was because of a new...

Even though the pub was quiet, we got 5 star service and well prepared and tasty food (my rib-eye steak was excellent). Nice cask ale to wash it down. In the small village of Aldwark about 20 minutes from York

Booked the bar out for a family party. The hot buffet was delicious. The service excellent. Lovely venue for a get together. Would definitely recommend it.

This is an excellent venue whether you just looking for a busy, vibrant, welcoming pub for drink from a well stocked bar or a good meal in their pleasant restaurant. The staff are lovely and there is an extensive menu to choose from. There is...

Just back from a family meal and feel compelled to share what feels like a really strange experience. The food was good (as usual), lovely setting but a bizarre approach to table service. With the exception of I think the owner (?) getting in and...

First time I have been here which but will be back. Popped in for a light lunch and was very impressed. I ordered off the sandwich menu and had the chicken and chorizo wrap. Not the most ambitious order I accept but you could tell...

We went to the pub twice during our stay. Great food, and helpful staff. Would recommend the pie, and the fish and chips. A pleasant half mile walk from the hotel.

A welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and a good selection of cask ales. The Timothy Taylor’s Landlord was excellent. Shame about the food; the battered fish was far from fresh, sloppy rather than flaky and almost flavourless. The chicken Kiev was completely overcooked. Unlikely to bother...
