The Arnage Restaurant in Selby

The Motorist is a Brilliant Venue with excellent Staff and Excellent facilities. The Cafe and Resturant are very good and the Shop caterers for a wide varity of Goods, presents and Car Essentials

Ok Been here around 15 times, was a great Sunday lunch, today waited 30 mins despite booking a table and arriving on time, food took a while, and was luke warm, no cutlery was provided, had to ask, no serving spoons had to ask. Would have been nice to have been asked if we wanted anything like sauces or extra gravy, nothing at all. Young inexperienced staff with no clue on service. Think it is time to try somewhere else . £56 for food + Drinks needs better service sorry.

Fabulous place with a great atmosphere 👌🏻 😀 Delicious breakfast 😋

Brilliant food and, despite a booking confusion, the staff sorted out all issues and provided excellent, friendly service all night. Can't wait to go back again.

Very nice clean establishment, great staff, loverly food,

We booked in advance for a special birthday meal . Arrived to the wrong number of seats, we have had the chicken roast dinner before so we’re looking forward to that order placed only to be told there was only beef. When this arrived it was undercooked and cold the potatoes were also cold and overall it spoilt the day, We did mention it at the time just to be told we were not the first to complain. So pot luck if you book ??

Having visited a few times I was excited to share this experience for my nanas birthday. Unfortunately it was a disappointment. To be told after our orders were taken that all our choices were not available and then what food was served was cold. It’s a real shame.

Really great place for a car meet. Perhaps create more hard standing this year as the grass gets a bit muddy and it is so busy!

Visit most weeks, once you have the Motorist bug your addicted and cannot keep away, very unique place

A great place for a breakfast whilst waiting for all the exciting cars to arrive ....

This is such a unique place. Staff were helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was delicious. Bought a few items from the shop. We will be calling in again

Just had New Year’s Day lunch at The Arnage restaurant and it was lovely! Had a starter of salmon and prawns that was really fresh and light and one of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in a long time. Beautiful roast beef and pork and lovely roast potato and veg. Great atmosphere, great service - we’ll definitely be back!

We’ve just enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch. Great way to start Christmas. We visit very often and love everything about the Arnage.

I attend The Motorist throughout the year with my classic cars and just use the cafe without fault. Today I booked in to The Arnage for Christmas Dinner. "Biggest mistake ever". Starter was a yorkshire pudding and brisket, badly cooked, defiantly not fresh today and more onions than meat. This was not eaten. Main Turkey dinner, no idea what meat it was due to no flavour or seasoning. Roast potatoes boot leather texture, roasted root veg floppy and cold, sprouts were that hard that the blunt knife I had only broke the surface and finally gravy that looked and tasted more like pond water. This was part eaten. Yes we had dessert ordered as well !!! Lemon roulade with raspberry sorbet. Looked amazing when it came, but it was pre-prepared and had come straight from the freezer. Unable to eat because it was that frozen it would not break Needed a good two hours to defrost to eat. This had to be sent back with the manager. We were told the dessert would be refunded, buy who knows, we were never given a receipt. Consequently it was a Mc Crispy on the way home with a Mc flurry. Very sad outing for my day off work with the wife, expected a lot better.

The second time visiting The Arnage Restraunt on Sunday. The first time was with family and it was pretty good, everyone had a good meal the staff seemed attentive and the price is what you'd expect for somewhere like this. The only complaint I'd have the first time was my burger was a bit bland and chewy but the starters were fantastic and the desert was great. I did leave a 4 star review previously. However I have deleted that and this is of my experience for the second time. Unfortunalty in the space of 3 week It seems to have gone down hill, with half the tables in that previously the staff just seemed not to care. The starters came out and again as before it was mostly spot on, bar some confusion with one of the starters that resulted in it going back, when checked it was a misunderstanding and they said they'd bring it back out as the lad who ordered it said he'd have it anyway, This then didn't come back out for another 20-25 minuets along with the main course, which at this point, there was no point, Fair enough we were not charged for it. My main about 5 minuets after everyone else got theirs, I had to ask for mine and he said he thought someone else had brought it out. The veg to go with everyone else's mains came out after that, It just seemed to have big gaps between stuff coming when it should all be together. At no point we were asked how our food was, or if we would like any more drinks, even if the food was average, which again like last time it was, those are the 2 questions that staff should ask, we would have had no complaints worth bringing up at that point, we would have ordered more drinks and we would have ordered desserts. Its very rare we leave without a good tip even with average food but I feel the wait staff really let it down this time. Which is such a shame as the café is run fantastically, the whole venue is spectacular and the restaurant has soo much potential.

Been going to the Motorist most of 2024 for Car meetings, Food is excellent, shopping, great experience every time superb set up staff are great and just signed up for the silver Membership, everyone i take to visit the Motorist is so impressed. Steve

Come to the Motorist all the time for meets and yesterday was my first time checking out the restaurant. Food was decent but nothing to write home about. The burgers are better than McDonalds but not as good as Five Guys to give you an idea. Main issue is the menu. Don’t think I’ve been anywhere with a menu this confusing. They’ve tried way too hard to make it a cool and edgy menu where everything is related to a car or a racing driver to the point where it’s just confusing. Took my friend and I a solid 10 minutes to work out what combination of racing drivers we would have to ask for to get a cheeseburger. The pricing of the extras also doesn’t make sense. It’s £1.25 to add cheese as a standalone (rip off) but if you want cheese & bacon, that’s called Hamilton which is £1.50.

Great venue, delicious food and the kids loved it too. Nice one. The shop is great as well.

A fantastic place to meet friends and other petrolheads. Great cafe and restauranr, with friendly staff

I can Highly recommend the Motorist! Fantastic venue, great food & service

Great place for Sunday lunch if taking elderly relatives, easy disabled parking, entrance all on one level, no steps etc and disabled toilet. Relaxed atmosphere, prices about going rate.

Went absolutely above and beyond for our daughters birthday cannot thank you all enough. All staff lovely across all areas and as usual food was perfect. Until next time!

Great place for food. I had the full breakfast and my daughter had poached eggs with halloumi, it was all very tasty. Coffee was spot on too. The staff were attentive, nice venue with a good vibe. Worth a visit into the shop and it’s a bonus if there is an event on - certainly somewhere to go if you like cars!

Coming to the Motorist periodically to look around at nice cars, and motorbikes, sit on the balcony with a pint of cold beer, enjoy the view and decide to try some food. And it's so disappointing compared to the price. Fish and chips for £15- don't need to describe as you can see it in the picture. My East Coast Chowder is £18, where the menu says “mussels, clams, PRAWNS” etc.. The taste was good, but for this price found only one prawn cut into 3 pieces, 4 clams and 5 mussels. Customer service does not exist at all and no one clears the tables to sit new customers. We will be back, but definitely not to the restaurant.

Superb restaurant and some quality deals, really friendly staff ....will certainly be back

This is exactly my kind of menu. Every dish we had was well thought out and delicious. Lots of options and choices for any diet. The restaurant itself was stylish and you can't beat the view of a bunch of specialty vehicles in the parking lot. The shop next door was also fun to walk around in with the family.

Regularly attend the Coffee and Cars event on a Sunday. First time using the restaurant. A great space to eat with friends, we had the breakfast menu. Great selection, albeit slightly higher prices, but given the social events are free, no complaints. Great taste!

The food, as ever, was cracking. A decent amount and well cooked, served hot as you would expect. However, the service was severely lacking. It started brightly, prompt serving of drinks, food order etc. Then we were all but forgotten about. Nobody seemed keen to clear the table, it was a good 20+ minutes after we completed our meals until someone came over to clear the table. At no point did anyone ask whether we would like another drink or a coffee etc after our meal. The place is lovely, as is the food, but it is let down by poor service. I doubt we will be rushing back for a meal, but instead stick to a sandwich and a brew from the cafe on a morning.

I can't believe I haven't discovered this venue until now! Not far from me, this is a fantastic, alternative event space that would be perfect for a Naming or Wedding celebration. The space is filled with motor related memorabilia and cars which makes it a great choice for anyone with an interest in automobiles! However, with great food and stunning panoramic views from the function room upstairs, this has something to offer everyone!

Came with family and friends, 7 of us, and was a truly appetising brunch. I went for the sausage donut stack and was pleased with it. Whilst I would say the lunch menu is on the expensive side but is quality, the breakfast menu is pretty good value, especially the full tank. Service was rather swift despite it being packed, so great credit to the staff as a whole.

My sandwich was lovely but my partners fish sandwich was tiny especially for £15.50 with fries. Too expensive.

Hidden gem if you come across it. It was really busy when I visited. Go there if you are a car enthusiast or like good food in brilliant surroundings.

Excellent find, a great place to visit even if your not a car enthusiast. Food and service fantastic. Lovely and clean, toilets spotless. We will definitely being regular visitors to this place and it’s lovely restaurant.

Celebrated my Son's 18th birthday here with a lunch at the Arnage Restaurant. I phoned prior to book a table and they were fine with us bringing some decorations. As my Son is a car fanatic it was the perfect place to celebrate. After we ordered food and while we waited we had a look around the onsite shop there which is fab. Fantastic atmosphere great food and a well stocked Bar!. A special mention goes to the waiter Alex who really did go above and beyond to make our time there memorable. Thank you.

I had the Burger. Cheap produce that tasted disgusting. Complimented by a lump of onion deep fried and stuck to the top of the bun. Had to stop eating it is it made me feel a bit sick!! £19 for the pleasure!!!

Lovely cafe and great staff. We could take our dog too which is a bonus, food looks lovely will definitely try restaurant next time. Good facilities to change electric car too. Well worth a visit, would recommend.

A lovely venue not far from Leeds that is so much more than just a restaurant - even if you're not a car entulhusiast! Food is delicious - I've just had one of the best bacon sandwiches I've ever had.

A great place to eat, great venue, great service, value for money food is just special

Service was very slow (at the bar).

This was the second time that I have been to The Arnage Restaurant. The first visit the two main meals (the pie and the chicken burger) where excellent. The chicken burger I had was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, a great burger. The children’s meal we ordered was a slight let down. After explains my daughters food allergies we where told that the burger would be fine, so ordered that. When it arrived without a bread bun, due to allergies, it would have been nice to have been informed before the food arrived so that we could have changed the order. On the second visit the main courses (I even ordered the same chicken burger) where just average. The chicken was dry and the battered fish just didn’t taste that fresh. The deserts we ordered this time though where excellent! The biggest let down on both occasions was the very slow service. Considering the restaurant was only ever 2/3 full and there was a few staff just stood around, after being show to our table every happen in slow motion. It’s a shame that the service, and now food, at the restaurant is a bit of a let down for what is a great venue in The Motorist.

I’ve been a few times now and enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. However recently the food has taken a nose dive. The sourdough bacon dish served with just the small fatty end of one bacon slice, soggy mushrooms onion and spinach plus a tasteless chipotle sauce. What’s happened guys? Not good enough

Had a very poor experience here today (Sunday). Arrived just after 12, waited for about 5min for someone to even notice us at the waiting stand and when I explained there is 4 of us with no reservation, we were told there will be serving food in about 20min. We walked around for a bit, came back when they told us only to be told that they are fully booked and they don't open walk ins till 3pm... Place looked very nice and was excited to try it but wasted opportunity I guess.

Arrived at 6.30 on 15/09/23 only to be told no food after 6.00. Website says open till 8.00. Was told you can go to the cafe and get a curry takeout, appalling attitude.

Nice food but slow service and very expensive

This was our third visit to the Arnage and will be the last. Each visit has progressively gone downhill. There was no acknowledgement or greeting on entry , slow service, and had to send my coffee back twice, as It was lukewarm at best. The GF toast was ok but brought on a hot plate, which left the butter like oil. We were told it couldn't be brought separately as that would involve more work. It's a shame as the cafe serves decent hot coffee. The concept is good, but poor execution lets it down. As an aside to all this, I wonder which brain surgeon of an architect designed a building where the kitchen is the furthest point from the restaurant.

Lovely building! Service friendly and efficient. Food very tasty but best go when hungry!! Will be back

Such an amazing place. If you are into cars fill you boots. The food is fantastic and at a fair price. Staff so polite and friendly. There is plenty to see and there is a cafe if you just want a sandwich.

Lovely menu ,was very busy so waited a while to get served .

Amazing location with some great cars to see on the right day. The restaurant itself was nice. Staff were friendly and the food was good but I'd say both could be improved a little to make it 5*.

Great restaurant, friendly professional staff, good atmosphere, indoor and outdoor seating available. I love to sit and watch the cars, bikes, small aircraft come and go. About 10 minutes from the A1(M), but feels like its in the middle of the countryside, lovely surroundings.

Had a great lunch. Food excellent. Staff very polite and helpful. Expensive but worth it.

My Wife and I came here for breakfast on Sunday 20th of August and we were both very impressed. The service was excellent from being greeted and seated and the waiting staff attentive and professional. The breakfasts were amazing, probably the best I've had for a long while, you could taste the quality! Great to have this close to where we live, we will be supporting this fab local business whenever we have the opportunity. Great job all.

The restaurant is beautifully made and airy. I found the food to be really nice. The staff were friendly and i felt looked after. It's a lovely setting, and if you like old cars, this is the place to be!.

My mother (and her friend) ate here and had such a bad experience I am writing a review on her behalf. The staff were very inexperienced and offered my mam a gluten free alternative to the fish pasta which turned up as just a tiny fillet of fish in a watery sauce and no pasta. When questioning the staff they said they’d run out of pasta and couldn’t offer anything else/ failed tell my mam before in case she wanted to change her order. They quickly ate and paid up for their bad decision in going here and went for coffee and cake elsewhere as left hungry after £20 pp bill. Poor experience, poor staff, tiny portions!!

£19 for a burger and fries really irked me. Burger was nice but at £19 I just think the food is very expensive and the portions are mean. Won’t be visiting again.

We went as part of a group of approx. 50 and were told it was £40.00 a head for a 3 course set menu lunch in the upstairs part of the Arnage. We had been previously and ate downstairs, the lunch was nice , but rather pricey, so for £40.00 each we had good expectations. We were told to be seated for 1.30, the soup wasn't served until 2 o'clock, they claimed it was tomato but it was a browney red and did not taste of tomato. The main was meat pie, chips and mushy peas. The crust on the pie was very hard, and had to be hacked and the meat inside was dry, uneatable. A friend who was seated with us who had been in the restaurant business commented that the pie had been reheated at least 3 times. The chips were tasteless. The pudding was parkin with sticky toffee sauce poured on it. A diabetic on our table asked for an alternative and was told they couldn't accommodate this request. The service was slow for all 3 courses. I have not found anything positive about the experience.

I was kind of expecting a cafe/ bistro experience it is that vibe and quite noisy but the food is definitely restaurant standard. First visit ordered small plates, sides and starter as a sharing meze they were all really good. On our second visit hubby had Sunday lunch with 3 meats he said they were all very good, Mum had chicken and said it was the best roast chicken she had ever tasted at 76 and always orders chicken that is a true compliment. The veggies and potatoes were plentiful and very well cooked. I ordered bbq cauliflower wings with roasted pepper salad, charred corn and blue cheese sauce but this isn’t what I got, I got a plate of steamed cauliflower on a bed of sweet & spicy sticky onions, I had to ask about the peppers, corn and sauce accompaniments after a little confusion I was given a cold pepper with tinned sweet corn salad and a cold blue cheese sauce. So definitely mis described on the menu however it was absolutely delicious and I enjoyed every bite. A little mis description on the deserts too listed Parkin was definitely sticky toffee pudding, Panacota was a definitely a posset but again both very nice. Coffee and wine were also of good quality. It was just a bit odd not getting what we had ordered but it was all so nice there was no point in complaining about it. It was a very very busy day with it being super car day but the service was still very good. I look forward to going again and think it will become a regular favourite.

Booked for Sunday lunch for my husbands birthday as we visit the motorist 3 out of 4 Sundays a month and thought today would be a fantastic place to enjoy his special occasion. Food was outstanding it's been a long while since I've eaten a roast dinner that has silenced me. The meat was tender and juicy, the gravey was perfection and the vegetables was brilliantly done and served. Portion size was great too. This would of been a 5* review however the service really let it down. When first seated there was only a few tables in but as our mains arrived the place started to fill up however they had more than enough waiting staff to manage the tables (around 2 or 3 tables per server). Starters arrived promptly and were cleared as we had just finished up and the mains soon followed however after we finished our mains we were waiting 20/25 minutes before anyone came over to check how our meals had been and to take our plates away, offer more drinks or desserts. By this point I walked over to the bar to place a drinks order and ask for information regarding desserts. During our time of waiting all the tables around us had been sat served drinks and mains and their tables cleared. The bar staff were shocked no one had been over as there were 5 waiting staff stood by the bar looking lost. I took our drinks back to the table with menus and we waited for someone to come over and take our order. After a further 10 minutes (plates still on the table) a young lady (different to who had been serving us but had however been working a majority of the restaurant alone whilst her colleagues stood around)came over to what we presumed was to take an order however she informed us we needed to move tables as another booking was due in 10 minutes and they needed the table back. We quickly finished our drinks and began to left the restaurant. Upon leaving the restaurant one of our party members informed the restaurant supervisor who didn't seem to mind we'd had a bad experience she did offer to box us up a cake to take away however we politely declined as we would of preferred something off of the dessert menu to sit and eat. She appeared to shrug this off and again didn't really mind much we'd had a bad experience and that it had spoiled my husbands birthday meal. This could be just a 1 off occasion however we will be putting off coming back for a meal for a while whilst staff are correctly trained/organised and whilst the supervisor becomes more comfortable in her role. Again food was amazing though and would like to try again at some point.

Our son had a starter and we waited till he finished. After he finished we waited, waited some more and then after 30 minutes the staff member finally came over and asked “Are you ready for dessert”. We explained we’re still waiting on all our mains. With no apology he went away, another 15 minutes later we eventually got the mains. Food was great but unfortunately the staff member wasn’t exactly attentive and also the restaurant wasn’t busy downstairs so no excuse.

More of a cafe than restaurant but with restaurant prices and cafe atmosphere. It's part of the motorist cafe, hence classic cars and motor racing blaring from the TV. Not for us though sadly. Sunday lunch okay, beef overcooked. Starter delicious, prawns with chorizo and ham hock.

A little sterile but clean and enjoyable.

Had a lovely meal with a bunch of friends, service was excellent.

Breakfast this morning in the Arnage was beautiful. Attentive staff. Excellent surroundings. A small, full breakfast was delightfully cooked and well presented. Local sausage and bacon second to none. The coffee and tea excellent. Will be back.

Staff were friendly and food was delicious. I had avocado toast for breakfast which was seasoned beautifully with a perfectly poached egg (something not all restaurants can manage!). At lunch I had the sirloin steak and passion fruit tart for dessert. All seemed good value for the quality too. We spend around £50 pp for both breakfast and lunch including dessert! Lovely venue and the toilets are always nice and clean which isn't always the case at car meets/shows! Will book again next year!

The restaurant is beautiful and we had eaten here before. On this occasion we did not receive the same quality service or food. The waiter explained the dishes of the day and I ordered the steak with hassleback potatoes and spring greens with peppercorn sauce, my partner ordered the steak pie. My steak came out with chips and no sauce, I explained this is not what I ordered and they oppologuised stating what they have been told to offer to what the Chef said he's cooking is different?! (That was it) My steak was rare not medium to top it off. My partners pie was dry and over cooked and the rude waiter said 'well you've had a good try of it!' My partner replied with ' I will pay but I'm not eating it, take it away!' The whole experience was shocking to say the least, we went for a date night, to look at some interesting bikes and dine in a beautiful setting. We left feeling insulted by the staff and still hungry!

Lovely menu, excellent service and great atmosphere. Had a wander round the shop too.

Very quiet when we visited but the Restaurant is light and airy with lots of space. Visiting with family for lunch. Staff friendly and the food was good and not overpriced.

Fantastic tasting and looking food... Modern decor... business man vibe during the week...

Lovely new find! Great restaurant with good variety of food and drink. Beautiful surroundings. Great for any car fanatic too!

I live only a couple of miles or so away from here and didn't know it existed tucked away as it is next to Sherburn in Elmet airfield. Great shame as it really is quite something. Modern and other than the light aircraft taking off from the airstrip nearby, peaceful. Plus plenty of room. Food is good, of quality and indeed locally sourced, big Yorkshire sized portions too. Service fine, staff welcoming, friendly and helpful. Only regret but not alone here, again limited menu. Nice bit of interest too with old cars placed around and a shop selling gifts, food and drink.

This was our first time at The Motorist. The manager Tristan was extremely rude after we asked for another tea bag because we'd ordered two teas. They had given us a tiny teapot with only one teabag in. If we had both ordered different types...

I didn't even know this place existed until a friend mentioned it to me. It's an excellent place to visit for car enthusiasts. The number of different makes and models of cars that turned up on Sunday was astounding. Everything from Amecian to British classics and more on show to view and chat with the owners. Had Sunday lunch and it was excellent. They also do excellent alcohol-free beer! Not just for cars either, there was loads of motorbikes there. The gift shop is amazing - classic cars on top of the shelves. Would strongly recommend!

Incredible venue for any petrol head. Go see it!!!!

Good menu but be sure to time your arrival lunch is not open for ordering before 12 noon and breakfast ends at 11.30 so a bit of a gap. Fish and chips were lovely and a gluten free option.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Lots of vegetables with chicken and perfect Yorkshire puds.

I booked afternoon tea but ended up having lunch as the message had not got throw Nice fish and chips and plough man's. Staff were good but stressed moving chairs around

Amazing place hidden away in the countryside. Great atmosphere and food all around! Go find Alex and Kieren! Top lads!

I have dined here twice in the last month or so and had brilliant experiences on both occasions. The venue is fantastic, a beautiful building and fantastic cars to look at too. The food is exceptional and very reasonably priced. Excellent range of alcohol free...

Came for lunch with my wife on 30th May. I have booked a table, but no one was interested. We were waiting 30 min for someone to take our order. Left the place after this… will not recommend to consider this place for lunch during working week. Staff is rude and very disrespectful.

Great food, great service and a fabulous atmosphere. There are some really cool cars on display and a load of great cars in the car park. It has a nice shop too with some motoring momentos, clothing and interesting snacks and gifts.

Great place, good value for money in the restaurant. The cafe is OK but not up to the same standard as the restaurant for value and quality.

Surprised to find a car event on. Restaurant is modern and serves a wide range of dishes. Chicken Caesar salad was very good; anchovies! Service was ok if a little slow but they were busy.

Absolutely love The Motorist but the food is well below standards for the price and place. Beef burger is especially poor quality meat and has the same texture and taste as a burger van.

Had lunch here a couple of times after looking round the car park at the wonderful cars.. Great staff, lovely food..👍

Absolutely beautiful food with excellent friendly service and a wonderful location. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience there and will be going back for more

It was a bit hard to find. I won't lie, but the food and service were a 10/10. Its definitely a place to go if you love cars and motorbikes.

Lovely place great staff would recommend

Nice food and portions, very attentive and friendly staff . Little pricey but worth it for the environment. Book in advance if a Sunday to avoid disappointment.

Fantastic place. Food was lush, and plenty of it. Highly recommended . Vintage cars in restaurant, and more to look round in another area.

Great food and brilliant staff, highly recommend a visit

1st time at the Motorist with Arnage Restaurant part of it, if you're into cars it's just for you....I could imagine Jeremy Clarkson having this at his Diddly Squat Farm if he was allowed. It's a lovely building with plenty of room to enjoy The Motorist experience. Definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Held a corporate breakfast seminar event here for approx 90 delegates - impeccable hosting from Kieran, Amy and the rest of the team, catering superb and all facilities excellent. All of our guests had a fabulous time, loved the venue, location, parking etc - can...

Lovely food, VERY popular on sunny days

Fantastic food and great staff. Best regards to all staff Gary & Karen

Really amazing food and friendly staff, but service was very slow and with 3 kids this wasn't great.

Visited for Sunday lunch. Really enjoyed our meal. Portion sizes were generous and really didn’t need a dessert but couldn’t resist the apple crumble. We dropped into the motorist shop too and was very impressed with products that they had available to purchase. Next visit we’ll go in time to see the amazing cars that head there.

One of the best Sunday roasts I've had in a long time, if not ever. I had the pork belly and my wife ordered the chicken. Both dishes came out with a good helping of roast potatoes and a huge Yorkshire pudding on top, joined by 3 side dishes of broccoli shoots, cauliflower cheese and roast parsnips/carrots/turnip. There was more than enough for the two of us and the service was excellent. If you like nice food and cars, in a unique motoring themed setting, this is a must.
