Just great all round, my boyfriend and I visit the Bay Tree often for drinks but today (a Sunday) we thought we should try out the food and my god have we been missing out. I had fish and chips and he had a pork roast - both were fantastic - his roast came with lashings of gravy and one of the biggest Yorkshire puddings I have ever seen, and more than enough veg. My fish and chips were lovely and the bill only came to 53 pounds with 2 courses each and a couple of pints, so extremely good value. I would and do recommend to anyone :)

I often visit The Bay Tree in Stillington with friends, mainly for drinks, and I really enjoy it. The atmosphere is very relaxed, which makes it a great place to hang out and have a chat. I haven’t tried the food yet, but it always looks fantastic. You can see the chef puts a lot of effort and passion into cooking, and the dishes are beautifully presented. The staff are friendly, and the whole place feels welcoming. It’s a perfect spot if you want to grab a drink or enjoy a meal in a laid-back setting. I highly recommend it!

Had a lovely meal here 3 weeks ago and we wee happy to plan a return visit. Went yesterday and was thoroughly disappointed. Ordered fish and chips twice. Came with frozen chunky chips and soggy batter. Meal was delivered in about 5 mins after ordering which should have been a clue 🤬. Within a couple of hours both myself and husband felt unwell. Won’t be making a return visit

Can’t get near the bar and nobody will move. Food is pub grub and a bit too basic. It use to be a great place to eat but seems to be under new management. We had burgers definitely bought in…shame

Outstanding. Stopped off here after collecting my dog from the kennels before driving back home. I was tempted by a burger and homemade chunky chips. It was excellent, I shall be back again!

Early Sunday Lunch for two booked online and no problems on arrival. Warm welcomes from the waiting staff and immediate seating. Informative staff took our order for drinks and left us with menus from which to choose. One pork and one beef roast dinner ordered at a reasonable price and it didn’t take long to arrive. Good quality and ample portions so well satisfied. Highly recommended. We’ll be back.

Great food and service, helpful, kind staff, good price for lunch, smaller portions if desired, 3 of us ordered a large fish n chips, small fish n chips, and a burger salad and fries, 3 drinks £55 - bargain. And honestly SO delicious. Lovely village.

What a Gem this place was. We were staying in the village and this was our go to place to eat and drink. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We ate here multiple times during the week and could not fault the food at all. My husband had the venison Wellington and I had the Belly pork. We literally could not fault the food. Please don’t pass by this place without popping in.

Had a fantastic meal here with my partner ! The food was brilliant had the pigeon breast as a starter , venison wellington as a main and Eaton mess for pudding 😋 we eat out a lot and can honestly say that the chef at the bay tree is so talented , all the food was cooked to utter perfection and a good portion too . The staff were really friendly and our meal served in a good time and atmosphere was cosy and relaxed 😌 I would certainly recommend this place if you enjoy extremely good food xx

If you love quality food, cooked to perfection in friendly comfortable surroundings in the heart of a lovely village in the countryside, then this pub is a la carte, without the snobbery & at affordable prices. Don’t by pass this place because of parking, there is places to park here just maybe not right outside, but believe me the short walk to eat here will be worth every footstep. The belly pork is top notch & the chicken Thai curry went down a treat with my hubby, who stated it was up there with one of the best Thai curry’s he has had to date. Landlady a lovely people’s person & obviously the Chef is worth his weight in gold.

What a lovely family run pub. Great food; sea food platter as a starter was amazing as was the prawn and salmon starter, the venison pie melted in our mouths and my friend literally wolfed the sea bass, it was that tasty! We arrived mid week and participated in the local pub quiz which was great fun. They also have Cooper King gin so what’s not to like! We will certainly be returning…soon.

I've written 2 Tripadvisor ratings in my life and only because they deserve it and this pub deserves it. Fantastic service and food. We were very well looked after in this warm and inviting pub. My husbands Flat Iron steak was cooked to perfection and believe me, he's very fussy but the Chef recommended medium/rare and that was how it came! My daughter had the Venison pie - delicious - I am now going to try and make it at home. I had the Turkey christmas dinner with all the trimmings and I loved it. Every meal we've had under this ownership has been good, so it is now in my top list of go to and believe me, I'm fussy too! Enjoy!

We were a table of 7 on a busy Saturday evening. The service was excellent, we felt neither rushed nor kept waiting. Great choice on the menu and 7 empty plates spoke volumes from our fussy group. One said the pie pastry was so light and perfect. Hot plates - it’s the little things! Puddings were delicious and a good choice. The Bay Tree has a lovely ambiance and we really enjoyed our evening there. Thanks to Claudia and the team.

Visited this pub a year ago for Sunday Lunch. Pork with all the trimming. It was outstanding with a full plateful of food lots of mean and a substantial amount of vegetables. I year later I went again for Sunday Lunch and the portions were half the size if that. I had 2 thin slivers of pork. The veg was carrots. Cabbage and cauliflower cheese. Really small amounts. For 4 people .There was not enough food for the 4 of us and when we got home were were still hungry and 70.00 poorer. Wont be going back again

Stopped on the way back to our holiday accommodation in Stillington after a long and exhausting day in York city centre. Very warm welcome and lovely atmosphere, if it was our local we’d be in there all the time. Food came up piping hot and fresh, good choice on the menu supplemented by a specials board. l had creamy garlic mushrooms and a roasted pepper, sundried tomato and tender stem risotto with rocket and parmesan shavings, and my husband had the smoked salmon and prawn roule and the burger with pulled pork - huge portions and quality was good. Lovely tasty meal - all the food coming out of the kitchen looked good. Happy to give it a five star review. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Myself and 12 year old son (he's autistic and a fussy eater) visited a couple of weeks ago on an impromptu Friday evening. The assistant manager (lovely woman) greeted us and was very attentive throughout as were the serving staff and manageress. My son had one of the coveted pizzas only available on certain days, with toppings easily changed to suit his specific tastes. It was done in an authentic pizza oven and if you get a well done from my son, you really are onto a WINNER! I had the ½ portion of haddock and chips. It was seaside fresh, with crispy batter and homemade chips. Absolutely divine and a generous portion size too - I wouldn't have been able to finish a full portion that's for sure. I was stuffed but my son found space in his legs for the brownie pudding with icecream - again a big thumbs up. We were pleasantly surprised at the bill considering the quality of the food ordered, we have paid much more for lesser quality. The recent change in management has completely revolutionised The Bay Tree and I hope many more patrons rediscover this absolute gem in North Yorkshire. Its a 110 mile round trip for us and we will be back, put it that way.

A first visit to a place we have heard consistently good reports of, it didn't disappoint. From the way our phone booking was managed all the way through our arrival, dining and leaving, there was always a truly professional but extremely friendly manner offered. The menu is not enormous but sufficiently varied to cater to all tastes and whist I am not vegetarian, the choices on offer certainly looked interesting and far from "standard veggie offerings". The wine list is, again, not huge but offers both variety and value, I was particularly delighted by the offering of a glass at a pro rata price to a full bottle:-250 ml glass for 1/3 of the full bottle price etc.Crab linguine starter was served with a "Bloody Mary" shot; tomato essence, vodka and wasabi. that was superbly balanced and a great way to start the meal. My wife had a ham hock that was every bit as well cooked and seasoned as the linguine. Mains of duck breast and braised shin of beef were easily equal in quality and flavour to the starters, vegetables cooked to perfection and sauces very well judged. A white chocolate and raspberry brownie with homemade raspberry ice cream was surprisingly light and looked a picture on the plate too!.Service was spot on, friendly, informative and efficient. The bill when it arrived was also a pleasant surprise, cooking this good can often cost considerably more. This place is a real find and we look forward to a return visit soon.

I will premise this review by saying that it would be unjust to contain my rating to 5 stars, notwithstanding that is the maximum rating. Our experience went above and beyond what would warrant 5/5. From our initial contact with Becky, we felt such a genuine welcome to enjoy an evening at her family's wonderful eatery. Make no mistake - this is not a case of "typical pub food". This is a top class dining experience, but at a particularly reasonable price. Reading through earlier reviews, I am confident that our experience reflect those of many visitors before us. The food was delicious and the surroundings lovely, but most of all Becky's service will stick with us. At one point, I felt that we could have been at a private dining experience - such was the attention to detail. I arrived with high expectations, but they were exceeded - even from the coffee and (separate) gin that started our stay of around 3 hours. By the time we were leaving, we had enjoyed delicious food and drink, and had established a connection to both Becky and other patrons - such is the dynamic that existed. If we did not live hours away, I would go back multiple times. I absolutely recommend that you enjoy the experience!

What a truly wonderful pub! I want to thank Becky and the team for an outstanding dining experience this bank holiday weekend! On arriving at the pub we instantly fell in love with it’s beautiful decor and cute little garden (in which we were allowed to feed the pet rabbits!). Becky was so welcoming, friendly and attentive. All the food eaten was outstanding. The gorgeous home made bread and the delicious roast dinner are certainly worth the visit. However, the white chocolate and raspberry brownie stole the show. This was by far the best dessert I have ever had and highly recommend giving this a try! Thank you again to all at the Bay Tree. I look forward to coming back very soon!

I can't put into words how amazing this place is... From the beautiful decoration and the gorgeous outdoor area to the amazing food and happy service from Becky, the hostess with the mostest, we had a perfect Sunday afternoon here! We had a takeaway roast during lock down, ate it in the rain at home, thoroughly enjoyed it and decided then and there that we had to come back and try it again in the restaurant, and it was worth the wait! Becky was really attentive and friendly, the white chocolate and raspberry brownie was the best pudding I've Ever had, and the whole experience was just perfect! Thank you everyone at The Bay Tree for a great Sunday Roast!!

This lovely pub is absolutely fabulous. It's like walking into a hug. Becky is front of house and she really is the hostest with the mostest. Bubbly, chatty and very friendly, I felt like I'd known her forever. Becky is well informed about the food she is serving you and gives you little insights into her life. Daniel is the chef and he is extremely talented, his food looks pretty and tastes amazing. We ate on an early bird special, which was £20 each for two courses. You picked off the regular menu, we couldn't believe what we got for it money. No pub grub here, this food is above and beyond that and more. We wish we'd booked both our holiday meals here.Thank you Becky and Daniel. We will be back to see you, and good luck to the trainer in the kitchen. We wish you all the best in your future at The Bay Tree. Xx

We had a lovely welcome and the pub has a wonderful homely atmosphere. The food was amazing - when we are back in Yorkshire we will be sure to visit again. I recommend the Chicken Parmesan dish - absolutely fabulous!

Lovely environment, wonderful service. Lovely couple who run it. Very passionate about what they do and it has paid off as it was stunning. Went for Sunday lunch and couldn't have wanted for more!

Wonderful experience at The Bay Tree visiting last night. Lovely decor and garden area with a wonderful warm welcome from Becky who looked after us fantastically all evening. The food was delicious, high end on style, presentation, taste and quality. My kids especially enjoyed saying Hi to the rabbits! We have already booked to return before we finish our holiday. If you are in the area, make sure you try out The Bay Tree!

In restaurants we often choose the vegetarian option and we are often disappointed. No so at the Bay Tree. Folk in this kitchen know how to cook. Each of our dishes were works of art and the tastes were complex , perfectly balanced and delightful.As a competent cook I can recognise cooking skill.The food at the BayTree is in a league of its own and the standard of hospitality second to none. We look forward to returning and recommending to others

A great country pub. Enjoyed an amazing Sunday lunch in the garden. Superb food, above our expectations, from the homemade focaccia to beef roast and coley summery mains. Friendly host made the visit a pleasure without being OTT. Looking forward to coming back soon. Dog friendly which was a bonus for us.

Reserved a table online for a small family reunion. Clearly a popular spot and there were a lot of people milling around outside and drinking outside the pubs on the main street. Service inside was good and there was a good choice of food which was very tasty. Sadly there was a large group of well watered men booked onto the table next to us, in the area by the bar, which completely spoilt the last half of our meal as we simply couldn't hear each other talking. It was a real shame that staff didn't consider putting us in the other part of the restaurant where there were several empty tables all evening, or relocating us for the last part of our meal when it would have been obvious we could no longer converse or hear. .... this would have made all the difference. (It would have been awkward having to ask to be moved ... but care from front of house staff could have carefully relocated us.)

Good value Sunday Lunch with all the usual trimmings, Pork was good and a piece of crackling, 2 Yorkshire puddings, nice cauliflower cheese and swede mash, The rest was the usual veg you get with a Sunday lunch, Plates were hot which is a good sign, A very good sticky toffee pudding and custard, Toilet are very clean, 2 good guest Ales, bonus for us ale drinkers as we all don't drink Lager or cider, Return, definitely.

Food was tasty. However the crusted cod ordered by 2 of our party was served with a very meagre amount of tiny pieces of crispy potatoes. It was like 3 chips chopped up. I pointed this out to the girl serving as it was more like a starter. She took it back to the kitchen and quickly returned to say chef was making some more. I had to laugh and I think even the serving girl was embarrassed when she brought me a tiny bowl you’d normally get mayo/ketchup in with another very meagre portion of potato pieces! Also it was meant to be served with creamed leeks and there must have been a leek shortage too! Saying that the other 2 party members had significantly larger portions, a gammon and a sizzler. When the plates were cleared I also informed the guy of the issue with the potatoes served with the cod. He asked the other person if hers was the same and she had said she wasn’t bothered by the small portion, she does not have much appetite and often has a starter instead of main. It’s a shame I came home hungry and I’m not a big eater myself. I’d consider going again but if you’re hungry give the crusted cod a miss! Edit 22/10/24. The owner rang me last week to discuss and apologise. He told me he would be speaking to the manager and would get back to me.
