The Alice Hawthorn in Harrogate

This was my second trip to the Alice so that is always a good start. From the car park you enter through the rear and there isn’t really a check in desk however it has never taken long for a member of staff to greet us and show our table. On both occasions we have had a table at the window looking out across the village green which is pretty. I noted the upholstery of my chair was stained which could do with addressing as it doesn’t fit with the quality of the place. The food is wonderful, without being overly pretentious. I had the monk fish, followed by the melting chocolate dessert and coffee. It was all fabulous and we had a great time. It was definitely worth the 2 hour drive!

We had two nights here visiting York and some family - it is perfect - the location , the simple stylish generous garden rooms, the delightful staff and the beautifully cooked fresh uncomplicated food . Hope to return many more times .

Lunch review. Beautiful property, tastefully restored and developed, and in a very lovely village, with many hidden treasures. Visited twice for lunch in the bar, both occasions characterised by excellent, friendly, efficient service, outstanding food quality and presentation, and wide range of beverages and cocktails. Really first class, commands robust pricing, and worth it! Our visiting friends were blown away by their visit for lunch with us 👏

Called in when garden rooms being erected. Now time to try. Allocated Barley for 3 nights b/d also took dinners.Food and service top notch all staff very good. A special mention to Charley and Will. Booked again for sept Alice pub room.

We had a two night stay in a garden room and it was perfect. The room had seating area, a walk in shower, deep bath and super king size bed. All ground floor level which was perfect for mobility. The hotel is beautiful, as is the village. The staff team are smashing, friendly, helpful, polite and very professional. Nothing is too much trouble. The food and ambiance was excellent. Thank you all for a super stay.

Two minor issues, not with the excellent food cost a star

Location, setting and service are stellar, as is the external architecture. The inside decor though lacks character and feels like a Pottery Barn .. as does the food, again lacks character (and salt), especially the roast - cleanly played but a bit boring. Wine list is ok.

The place looks 10/10, Nun Monkton is stunning and the pub looks promising from the outside. They clearly used a good architect to complete the structure at the back. The service is military, but the food was disappointing. I really wanted to enjoy our meal but it really lacked depth, imagination and unfortunately flavour. The whole place is like a well oiled machine, but where is the passion for food guys. It felt like the focus was on getting covers in and out, to the point that each plate was mastered inline with this efficiency. In your haste you’ve removed the heart of what matters, the taste. Very pretty pub and setting but difficult to go back again.

What a great find. We have heard about this gastro pub but not been before. We will be back. Lovely staff, nice decor. Everything smacks of quality. What a lovely village too.

Our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Would have given food 5 star but my potatoes were too salty and husband's lamb was a bit dry, could have done with some sort of sauce. Starter was amazing for both of us and the trio of rhubarb desserts just topped the meal off. Staff were brilliant. It looks like a lot that we paid each but that included drinks. Will definitely be returning.

First went here the end of January and stayed over in the the Alice room. The pub is in a beautiful village. Back to the pub, the food was outstanding and great service. Lovely restaurant Great nights sleep and the breakfast was lovely. We enjoyed it that much we returned with friends 4 weeks later. The menu had changed and the food was still amazing. We stayed in a differemt room and both our room and our friends were as lovely as Alice was but i woild say if you can book Alice. The staff are welcoming and friendly. You will find it hard to find a place as great as this. Just a note if you are looking for pub food this isn't the place for you. Alice Hawthorn would give michelin star restaurants a run for their money.

We have visited Alice Hawthorn on many occasions and always had good service and excellent food. Last night was my wife's Birthday so we booked and went for an evening meal. The menu is very good with lots of variety, the staff were as usual very helpful and the waiter guided my wife's choice of Lamb Rump, I had the Fillet Steak and we ordered a bottle of Shiraz. When ordering Lamb you can expect a certain amount of fat, but my wife's Lamb was very gristly and disappointing, unfortunately the staff were busy so we could not attract their attention to complain, so she continued to eat what she could, my steak on the other hand was excellent and my wife wished she had also ordered it. The issue is that for a quality premium priced restaurant the lamb should not have been served in that condition. When eventually I managed to complain to the waitress her response was " I will let the Chef know" we heard no more after that. As it was my wife's birthday we just paid and left without any fuss, but it left us very disappointed. Yes you can get poor cuts of meat but how it was dealt with was the issue.

We had a lovely stay in one of the beautiful garden rooms. We brought our dog along with us so had our evening meal in the bar, which had a great atmosphere and we were made to feel very welcome. The food was absolutely delicious! My personal highlight was the pigs cheek starter and the trio of rhubarb desserts. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a perfect relaxing evening away ☺️

Excellent found in a very nice relaxing atmosphere. The service was excellent too.

A lovely meal for New Year’s Eve. Exceptional food, lovely atmosphere and great service. Thank you!

6 hours after eating popcorn prawns violently sick 😞. Took 48 hours to recover, but at least I lost a few pounds! Rang to advise of illness and told that would let the chef know. Would have been nice to have to have had a sympathetic girl on the phone. Just hoped they cleaned where I sat properly. No other family members ate my menu choices, but we had all eaten the the same home cooked dishes in the last 24 hours and I was the only one to be ill after eating out 🙁.

We had a lovely evening meal here recently and a peaceful stay. Lovely and quiet village with walks and rooms nicely designed. Only criticism was that the menu did not highlight the presence of nuts in specific dishes which we would have expected of such a ‘high end’ restaurant.

The fish was excellent but the beef fatty and lots of gristle and tough for 4 people. The plates were cold so the food went cold too quickly. The crumble was piping hot and delicious but the meat very disappointing! Not up to the standard expected.

2nd time we’ve been here for Sunday lunch. It’s absolutely amazing loved all 3 courses and wine.

Really nice hotel in fantastic village surroundings. Food ,service, and ambience all add to a wonderful experience.

Amazing dining experience! Not sure why it isn’t Michelin Star. Fine dining to perfection. I had the giant prawn, monkfish and sticky toffee pudding. Lovely ambience, sophisticated vibe and great bar area. Located in a small village in Nun-Monkton. Will be visiting again.

Went on a wet Wednesday in October, cheered up as soon we entered. Whether full or quieter The Alice always has a cosy welcoming atmosphere and is always immaculate. Food is fabulous. We started with Thai/Korean flavoured fried cauliflower a littler different, bursting with flavour . My main was a perfectly cooked (for me) medium+ breast of duck presented with a "pot" of peas, onions ,lardons and duck together with perfectly cooked chips, it is terrific dish. The other half (who eats like a mouse) had a second starter as a main; scallops with pork belly with a side of honey roasted beetroot all of which she really enjoyed and thought the combination worked really well. No room for puds, but we did enjoy a fairly priced nice bottle Negromaro from the extensive wine and thoughtful wine list which which puts many 5 star hotels to shame. The young front of house team are very professional; informed and friendly. Simply the best dining pub we know by far

Outstanding lunch with my daughter. Professional, friendly, attentive relaxed service, coupled with outstanding food. Perfect in every way. Thank you.

Superb presentation and great tasting meals.

The pub is in a lovely spot over-looking the green. You can eat inside or outside, and both are great. We were warned that on Sunday they 'do not do Sunday roast', which was a great relief as their standard menu is exceptional. After several visits I have got used to the parade of Porsches and Lambos parked for weekend lunchers and despite being busy, the service was exceptional, relaxed and a nice pace for a leisurely lunch. The pub is a bit out of the way but worth the trip as the food, drink, service and general ambience are exceptional and everything you'd hope for from one of the better gastro pubs in the very competitive Yorkshire foodie scene.

We came on Sunday for a family birthday celebration and had the private Snug room for the occasion. As first time patrons I was looking forward to coming and seeing what their food would be like. Well I cannot say enough about how lovely everything was. The service was fantastic, all the staff were great and couldn’t have done a better job, so big thanks to them. The food was absolutely beautiful, and so well made and of fantastic quality you honestly couldn’t fault it whatsoever. We also had a special request due to one of our party having a special diet request due to illness, we called ahead and spoke to a very helpful staff member who helped us organize to cater to that request. On the day it was delivered beautifully and really made the day of all of us, so thank you guys for being so fantastic and kind to take care of that, we really did appreciate it so much. All in all we really enjoyed coming and we are already looking forward to coming back. Thanks so much for a lovely day 🩵

Just got drinks , but amazing pub and nice staff. Beautiful location and decor.

We had two delicious evening meals here this week, whilst staying down the road at the Yorkshire Heart Vineyard in our campervan. The pub is absolutely beautiful, set in a village/hamlet where cows roam the streets and willow trees drape over ponds abundant with ducks and swans. I love that despite the Alice being rather upmarket (the quality of the cutlery, crockery, tables, chairs), it’s managed to retain the old proper pub feel with having multiple little spaces and we were able to dine in two different areas. This is a particular plus because I find restaurants are generally quite open plan and loud environments. The different spaces creates a lovely warm atmosphere. Adored the blush pink colour drenching in the ladies bathrooms. The staff were so friendly and attentive (remembering what we’d had the day before) but without being too invasive or insincere when asking how our meals were. The wine selection is vast, the menu is perfectly curated. We have been dreaming about the food since getting home. The only criticism (which might be personal preference) is that we both found the sauces/jus that came with each dish to be a little too salty for us- it did not interfere with us devouring the dishes, we were just a touch more thirsty throughout the night. The first night we had steak, myself the fillet and other half the ribeye, both medium rare. We were apprehensive as we’ve recently decided to only eat steak at steak specific establishments as they’re often underwhelming. Our go-to for steak is gaucho in Manchester but this rivals it and I’d go as far as saying it’s the best steak I’ve had in a very long time! I applaud the chefs for this. Side note: we’re not usually a fan of a sauce with steak but my other half was particularly taken with the peppercorn sauce that came with it. The sticky toffee pudding could stand toe-to-toe with Cartmel’s- the home of sticky toffee pudding. The second night, my other half had scallops, pork and banoffee pie, which were exquisite and I enjoyed the chicken supreme with a zesty refreshing strawberry based dessert; all washed down with a velvety primitivo and the night was nicely rounded off with the tiramisu espresso martini. Thank you to everyone at the Alice, we had such a lovely time visiting you. It was worth every penny and I’m already eyeing up coming to stay in one of the rooms at the back (they look like something from grand designs)! We booked for both evenings and it was busy (the races were on) so I would recommend doing so to avoid disappointment.

Stopped over for 2 nights while at York races , absolutely fantastic staff, very attentive, polite and took care of all our needs. Menu is wonderful, every dish that came out in our group you wanted to eat. The stay was perfect

A lovely find of a pub - great food, lovely atmosphere and helpful/friendly staff. It's on the expensive side of things, but the quality is up there with some of the best we've eaten and experienced.

Amazing. Food was presented really nicely and tasted delicious. 100% recommend. The Tuna cooked on the grill was the best part of the meal it, cooked perfectly. Service also really good, very welcoming and friendly

Really great place. The food was amazing, High quality, great service and atmosphere.

lovely Inn, gorgeous rooms we stayed in a garden room.. beautiful village setting..

We stayed overnight in a delightful room overlooking the garden. It was clean, well equipped with nice decor. The pub and restaurant was just as pleasing. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The menu was original with enough choice.. They must have a gem of a chef. It was the best evening meal I’ve had for a long time. Highly recommend

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Amazing food, really friendly and attentive staff in a wonderful location.

Selective clientele procedure in place. Fully booked for some. Whilst tables available for others

What a fantastic evening, we went with friends for a 60th birthday and from start to finish we were made to feel very welcome. The food was arguably some of the best food we have ever had and dogs are accepted in the pub side which for us is an absolute winner, we will definitely be returning at some point, thank you to everyone at The Alice Hawthorne.

What can I say, we went with friends for a 60th birthday and from the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome and all the staff were very attentive and extremely friendly. Then we move on to the food, each and every dish was fantastic and arguably some of the best meals we have ever had. Also when we first went in, we sat in the bar side and noticed they accepted dogs, which for me is an out and out winner. Thank you all at The Alice Hawthorne, we had a night to remember.

Lovely meal—the food is really excellent. Great selection of delicious veg (and plenty of them), with the roast dinner. The only thing that didn’t work for me was the cumin seeds in the cabbage. It would have been OK with something else, but not roast lamb and Yorkshire pudding.

Stayed the night and had dinner and breakfast. We were in Plummer - a room in the pub. This was probably the best one night stay we’ve had in the UK outside London. The food was really classy both dinner and breakfast. More than classy, it was great! Michelin men should visit. The kitchen has some stars! The room was lovely, modern with great bathroom. Village is really pretty - cows grazing on the Green outside the bedroom window. If you feel like treating yourselves - get there. Can’t praise it more!

Lovely gastropub. Great food, great service and excellent rooms

Excellent place , food was magnificent. The atmosphere was very friendly. 100% recommended

Went here for a birthday treat and it was worth the visit. Great tasty food and service was good despite being busy.

I was guest at a birthday celebration so well planned and organised it was truly memorable The food was excellent and the service could not have been bettered. A truly memorable night.

After reading so many good reviews, I expected to have an excellent birthday meal here and was left very disappointed. The service set the tone for an unpleasant evening when our server came to take our order ages after we'd sat down and without a smile. When I asked if I could swap the side dish that came with my main course our server said yes while rolling his eyes and saying "you'll have to pay extra". I got a steak and it was medium done instead of medium-rare. It was so chewy I had to cut it into tiny pieces and eat it like a bird. None of the dishes we tried were anything exceptional, I've eaten better in normal little pubs. The only positive was the lovely room we stayed in and I would come back for a stay but eat elsewhere.

Beautiful 3 course lunch with excellent service. Good selection of seafood.

Only had a drink outside with my dog. Dogs are welcome in the bar and outside

Beautiful venue, amazing food and wonderful service

Excellent food with friendly service

The village is tucked away down a long road but worth it. Thoroughly enjoyable dinner in convivial surroundings . Bar area popular with locals. Good variety on menu and haunch of venison was especially delicious. Staff just the right level of friendliness.

Fantastic meal, one of the best my wife and I have ever had. Stayed the night and had a superb breakfast too. If you fancy a treat this is perfect, set in a lovely village with local walks available.

I believe £50 for two courses was very expensive considering the mediocre food and patchy service.It was Mother's Day so we accepted the hike in price .The starter was nothing special ,pate came with three miniscule slices of hard bread .My guests opted for desserts.The waiter spent a lot of his time talking to a couple who were clearly regulars sitting at a table some distance from us,it was impossible to get his attention without walking up to him!The roast potatoes were hard,Yorkshire puddings cold but good cauliflower cheese and plentiful vegetables., meat good too.The banoffee pie was a tiny filo pastry case with banana and toffee sauce ,not the best I've had.We came away feeling we had been taken for a ride and will not be back.

Absolutely fantastic. Can’t recommend enough. Always a pleasure and a great place to take family and friends. Amazing food. Amazing service. Always a safe bet.

We were recommended this restaurant as a good place to go for a meal and it certainly didn't fail to meet the expectations, fantastic service from arrival and throughout the whole evening, the food was excellent too with very attentive staff

We had such a wonderful meal, the ambiance is amazing and the staff are so lovely! We really appreciated how friendly and welcoming everyone was. The food was some of the best in york, the crab lasagne left a bit to be desired but everything else was absolutely incredible (I can’t fault it!). We will be back soon for another special meal and will be staying over as the rooms looked gorgeous. Thank you for such a special evening! P.s. make sure you don’t miss out on the desserts… heavenly

We booked the front pub room ( The Alice ) for our anniversary. The room is the nicest we have ever stayed in. Everything was perfect There’s a large bath, walk in shower, under floor heating and top end toiletries. The bed is large and comfortable with high quality Egyptian cotton bedding. TV and radio in the room, fridge and tea/ coffee facilities The bar and restaurant were busy but service was prompt and friendly The menu and wine list were extensive and not one morsel was left We will be back

This was a truly fabulous meal. Wonderful atmosphere, excellent service and sublime food. We shared the prawns and scallops for starters. I had the venison which was wonderful. My husband had the fish and chips. He requested a side of onion rings, which wasn’t on the menu but appeared as part of the steak dish. No problem and they were delicious. We were both full but being very greedy, we shared a rhubarb trio of desserts. Glad we did as this too was wonderful. Thank you.

This place is totally wonderful. The food is marvellous and beautifully waited in very pleasing surroundings. Yes, it's pricey but it's also value for money. Rooms are lovely too - spacious and very inviting. We had a glorious 3 days' stay. Such great quality and so restful.

We have just dined here for lunch today and we were blown away. We were lucky to have the pleasure of meeting Clare and John who run it the night before and they told us about their beautiful pub/restaurant, whilst in the area we managed to book a table for lunch. The village is absolutely beautiful and upon driving through the car park we just knew it would be good, the hotel and garden rooms look amazing. We had a lovely table in the bar and loved seeing the real ale pumps. We saw they had handmade crisps written on the blackboard and ordered some and they were just wow, hot and fresh and garlicky, just delicious. We had 3 courses as each one was so good. We both had the chefs special scallops to start with ox cheek which was delightful, we then had rump of lamb and venison with a nice glass of Pinot, the lamb came with a side of breaded belly pork which was absolutely delicious, we finished with a lovely trio of local in season rhubarb desserts and chocolate melted pudding which was outstanding, really was, never had a melt pudding like it. The staff were fabulous, really friendly and welcoming. The log fire was on and it was nice and busy. We could not recommend this restaurant highly enough and just so glad we now know about it. We’d love to come back. Thank you so much to John and Clare and family for their hospitality and excellent service and food.

Perfect from start to finish! Our first visit to this charming, beautifully designed and laid out Country Pub with rooms. Great service and friendly staff from the moment we arrived. The Sunday lunch was one of the best i've ever tasted (and i've had a few!!), it used top quality ingredients which were superbly cooked and really well presented. The table layout was well thought out with plenty of space for everyone and everything from the decor to the amazing crockery was excellent. Everyone associated with this establishment should be VERY proud. See you again soon!!

If you're looking for expensive snacks (they call them meals), this is the place. We had tasteless leek and potato watered down soup to start. Followed by a few vegetables on a plate. To be fair we were the only vegans in the party but even for the meat eaters, unless they were having fish and chips, the cooks made sure you had plenty of plate surface to look at. The service was very average bordering on canteen style which didn't stop them adding a whopping service charge to the bill. Not made clear that this is discretionary. We didn't pay this!

Very attentive staff without being intrusive. Meal excellent and beautifully presented. The place to go for a special occasion knowing it will meet your expectations.

We took our Mums to The Alice Hawthorn for a special treat yesterday. As always, it is special. The food cannot be faulted in any way. The atmosphere in both the bar area and the restaurant is uplifting The only negative to report, is the loose dog running round the bar. We are dog lovers, and think it’s great that dogs are allowed in the bar. However did feel sorry for those diners who had chosen to eat there, with an uncontrolled fox red Labrador running round the tables !

Always wonderful and great to see so many people enjoying Friday lunchtime

Went for Sunday lunch today. The venue is stunning and the service was relaxed but attentive. We had goats cheese croquettes and king scallops as starters, followed by duck breast and roast beef for main course. All 4 dishes were outstanding. We'll be returning very shortly.

What a revelation, a super pub/restaurant a short drive from where I live, in a village I have never visited before. Nun Monkton is at the end of a long side road off the main A59 Harrogate to York road. Previously I had only ventured as far as the vineyard (also worth a visit) but then as far again and the road emerges into the prettiest of villages with open greens and several duck ponds. The Alice Hawthorn (named for a famous racehorse I was told) is a lovely old building on the green, with a large car park at the back. Also at the back is a group of new, architecturally interesting buildings, which seem to comprise bedrooms and private dining rooms. The main pub is very well presented inside, with a strong contemporary feel inside a much older structure. We arrived for a 1.30 lunch and the place was already pretty busy. The first thing that struck me was how warm and cosy it was on this very cold and frosty day. The service was attentive without being oppressive, and the food was absolutely superb. We had not intended to have three courses at lunchtime, but suffice it to say, we were tempted to do so by the excellent menu. It is reasonably expensive. It worked out at just over £75 a head for three courses and (light) drinks. It was however it beautifully presented, inventively prepared, and delivered in generous portion sizes. I was hooked from my first course which was the tuna…how do you describe a taste explosion. I am sure wherever you look on the menu there will be something to excite. It might take you a while to choose…then you’ll have to go back again to try something else. We definitely will.

Superb, staff, food and quality of drink. We tried to find fault and simply couldn't, both saying the best eating out experience we had for years (and that includes several Michalin's) . We'll be staying next time also.

Just fabulous! Food brilliant - lobster pithiver divine! Friendly and very efficient staff - thanks Jonah for looking after us so well! This is our ‘regular’ for special nights out! Thank you Alice team you are amazing!

We stayed here for bed and breakfast, the room was really nice and cosy, nice big bed, bathroom was small but modern and very clean. Tasty full English breakfast, the staff are very friendly and attentive. Hopefully we'll be back for an evening meal next time!

We were looking for somewhere to eat on our way to York and ended up finding ourselves here. The place is very picturesque from the outside, the lights on the buildings really look the part. It's a massive venue, much bigger than we expected from our first impression. Once inside we made our way to the bar and asked if it was possible to get some food, the bartender showed us the specials menu on a blackboard above the fireplace and said there was a table 'through there' we could have. We ordered drinks and set about going to the table when a customer suggested we stay in the bar area as it was going to be cold where the server had suggested. We redirected ourselves to a table that had just been vacated, got sat down and were moved within minutes to the proper restaurant area as where we were sat had been booked for half seven. There was a sign indicating this though we hadn't planned on being there that long anyway. Once seated we were asked if we wanted some water for the table to which we replied yes, the water however never arrived. I wouldn't say the menu was overly big but it was very high end in terms of price, we settled for a few sides and couldn't complain about the quality of the food but would think for the pricing the service would have been slightly better than it was.

It was a difficult night for the team at the Alice Hawthorn as the electricity supply to the village was down affecting the kitchen and some of rooms. Our room wasn't affected except for lack of Internet. The team produced a short menu that could be cooked on the fancy Japanese bbq and/ or cold items. Food was very good and more so given the circumstances. The staff were excellent, upbeat and charming. Would definitely return to experience the full menu.

What a wonderful place! Gorgeous food, service and ambience

Lovely peaceful setting in an idyllic village near York. The Alice Hawthorn certainly delivers on style, ambiance and delicious food coupled with excellent service. I had the lamb which was superbly tasty and well presented. We were rather full from our main courses so decided to have a trio of puddings between the three of us. It was a good choice as it gave us each a mouthful of three different puddings without being too much. Would highly recommend and would love to come and stay next time

We stayed here for the night while travelling back to Aberdeen from Norfolk. The location is excellent as it is around 10 minutes from the A1. As you enter the village it is like stepping back in time - A beautiful country village that harks back to calmer, quieter times. The pub itself is really nicely appointed, and the rooms are wonderful. Most are located in separate buildings just behind the main pub. They are Scandinavian style lodges, with all mod cons and plenty of space. They have a very new feel to them, which is in direct contrast to the olde worlde feel of the pub. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and serves up excellent food.

This is my mother’s favourite place to eat because it’s so consistently brilliant. Punchy flavours cooked to perfection. The staff are attentive but not overbearing and kind enough to squeeze us in last minute too.

Delicious & most of all tasteful food. These Chefs are at the top of their game! Well done Team.

Absolutely brilliant Service superb Food so good

A real treat, excellent food, service and atmosphere 👌 😋

We have eaten here a few times but it was our first Dinner B&B experience of Alice… A lovely welcome from the charming, assured and highly professional, Nicole! “Pub” room was a great size with a splendid bathroom. Nice touches which not everywhere does anymore…bubble bath is you wish to soak, water, milk and freshly baked biscuits. A light on a sensor in the bathroom so you don’t have to search for a switch during the night. Dinner was very tasty with a good choice of different meats and fish…vegetarian and vegan choices? No idea. Who cares. A very good nights sleep followed. Breakfast was a veritable feast with many choices and all the while being looked after by the attentive Nicole who seemed to appear just as you needed something. Bravo! It’s not cheap, but nothing is anymore, and we think if you compare it to other places aiming at similar people, it’s up there. Well worth a visit. Thank you.

Completely refurbished, but retaining that country pub setting. Amazing food and very accommodating staff. Went with three friends to celebrate my birthday and they didn't disappoint.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at The Alice, a gorgeous Inn with divine food, however their housekeeping is not the best. Our sink in the shower room was not cleaned during our stay leaving tide marks and toothpaste splashes and we couldn't get the heating on, the towel rail was therefore cold and it was quite cold in the bedroom in the evening. Would we stay again I'm not sure given the fact it's quite pricey we would have expected better.

We have not long returned from a three night stay at The Alice Hawthorn and had a wonderful time, gorgeous Inn and divine food. We stayed in The Cosy room above the pub which was absolutely fine for a short stay. However we were not impressed with the housekeeping, our basin in the shower room was never cleaned while we were there leaving tide marks and toothpaste splashes, really not good. Also we were unable to turn on the heating consequently the towel rail never hot to dry towels and coming to the end of September it was actually quite cold in the evening in the room. A beautiful inn with outstanding food but would we return, I'm not sure, it's pricey and would have expected better.

Beautifully converted barn with modern European Cuisine and warm service. Food is locally sourced, seasonal and very fresh. Great steak selection and vast seafood options, too. Indoor as well as outdoor seating available with some BBQ events in the summer. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Thumbs up will return 👍

Only called in for a drink so cannot comment on anything really

Excellent food, unstable crockery, off-hand service.

Great place , extremely helpful staff ,

Booked for luncheon and arrived a little early so sat in the bar but was soon shown through to our table. Ordered a couple of drinks whilst trying to decide what to eat. The choice is limited but great choice of dishes. Starters were just lovely with prawns and goat cheese followed by fillet steak and venison. Ordered fine green beans as a side with the venison and oh my goodness, if I could have them daily, I would. Plates were very soon emptied with comments like Mmmmm and ohhhhh yes for the fillet. Venison was served pink and if you haven't tried it that way, Please do. Desserts again all looked amazing but we eventually went with the cheese board to share and an alfagoto each, served with a shot of liqueur. Every single mouthful was truly delightful. The staff were attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I would imagine the venue to be one for social occasions as our meal ( 3 courses each plus 1 pint and a couple of gins) came in at just under £170.00. We certainly couldn't afford to eat here weekly but a once a month treat would most definitely be on the cards. So, why 4 star and not 5? Yes, the food was very good as was the service but there is always room for improvement. We shall look forward to our next trip to see if the 5 stars can be given.

A Fabulous Hotel . Wonder friendly , knowledgeable & welcoming staff ( Special mention for Charlie & Taylor ) . We had a fabulous midweek break . Outstanding food . Beautiful hotel . Highly recommended if you looking for a special hotel break or just somewhere for a special lunch or evening meal . A big thank you to all the team at The Alice Hawthorn.

Excellent in every way. We stayed for one night with dinner and breakfast. The accommodation was beautiful, the meal was of an extremely high standard and one of the best I've had this year, and the service was faultless. I can't recommend the Alice Hawthorn highly enough and we are already looking forward to our next stay.

Thank you for a fabulous anniversary lunch. The food, service and atmosphere were superb. We will definitely be returning and bringing our friends. As a chocolate fiend, the dark chocolate cremaux was particularly scrumptious. Thank you for the attention to detail and that this was a special day for us. All the best. See you soon. Michelle and Kelvin.

We visited The Alice Hawthorn yesterday for a rather long lunch, after meeting up with friends whom we had not seen for 3 years. The food was absolutely amazing, and the staff v ery delightful and professional. Nothing was too much trouble for them . Definitely we hope to return in the future. Well done!

Our second visit here and another excellent experience. The food was delicious and really well prepared. Service was attentive and efficient. Top notch establishment with a deserved reputation.

Lovely hotel and pub in the beautiful North Yorkshire village of Nun Monkton. Friendly staff, great dinner and breakfast

Lovely setting and great meal, friendly and efficient service but would expect this for the price.

The dinner was amazing especially the lamb and venison only exceeded by the the excellent service from Jonah and Tom.

Great place to eat just outside York. Lovely decor and setting with great service and food to match. Surprised that my lamb didn’t come with any form of potato hence the four rather than five stars, as all the rest of our party’s dishes did.

What an amazing find in a beautiful village! We stayed in ‘Hay’ overnight and had a wonderful stay. The room was on the first floor with plenty of light and ventilation. The bathroom was large and a fabulous bath! The room was decorated tastefully, little touches of bottled water and fresh milk in the fridge was great. The night light in the bathroom was very useful. The bed was super comfy, the pillows were gorgeous so much so we have ordered some! The only thing missing was a bath robe which would have been useful. We had a fabulous meal in the restaurant, it was a 10/10 for quality and service. We had 3 attempts at choosing a bottle of red wine, this was unfortunate but the pubs wine supplier had not arrived that day with their order. The whole pub has a lovely relaxing feel to it and we will definitely return.

Delicious food, yummy cocktails and friendly staff. X

We stayed for dinner and an overnight stay. Our room was in the new building and was delightful and comfortable, great decor and excellent welcome from the team. Dinner and service was outstanding, I can certainly recommend the venison. Wifi is a bit patchy in the room, but who needs it when you are in such a wonderful setting

We stayed for one night in a garden room. The pub is located in a beautiful quaint village, complete with village green and duck pond. The pub building has been beautifully renovated and the garden rooms are modern, comfortable and spacious with gorgeous decor and every convenience. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was delicious and service was very good, the setting is very attractive with a pleasant ambiance. Breakfast was fabulous, freshly cooked to order with a great choice. We would highly recommend a visit here.
