The Black Dog Inn in Selby

We have eaten here with friends 4 times over the last 2 years, but it has never really impressed us. The food is OK, but not really worth the cost. The chips were hard and dry, which I don't understand as they are supposed to be home made! Also, the drinks have always been expensive, but £4.55 for 1 pint and one half pint of lime and soda is ridiculous. The most we have ever paid in the past is £3, but often less than that!!

I had been told about this pub and thought we would give it a go. We were met by friendly staff and a very full eatery which was good. The staff were chatty and engaging.we all had the Sunday lunch with was lamb and pork served with roast potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding topped with gravy. They brought out a dish of mixed veg, cauliflower cheese and creamy mash to add to the meat. We all enjoyed the meat as it was cooked well and the veg was seasoned good. We left very full and satisfied and hope to visit again.

Great service, Excellent food. Six of us went for a family birthday. Everyone very happy with their meal. Prices are a little expensive, but let's face it everywhere is these days. The portion sizes definitely make up for it. Thanks for a great night and the free pint of Guinness. Keep it up👍😋

This was our 2nd visit. We have had steaks on both visits and have found them to be tough, both fillet and sirloin. Fish pie is excellent. The chips, some of them, were lovely but there were a lot of scraps in them.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch for my dad's birthday. We were between 5 - 10 minutes late due to traffic and apologised for our late arrival, no problem and we're seated at our table near the bar. Ordered Sunday dinners, two of us with smaller portions of lamb and chicken and òne vegetable Wellington. All said quality and quantity were very good. We enjoyed the friendly and convivial atmosphere. The owners lead the staff well and look after the customers. A very warm welcome and we have already recommended to others. Thoroughly enjoyed and will return. Thank you 😊

This place is a lovely pub and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Really good food lovely staff a great place. Will definitely be back. Anne walker

Excellent food , good service and friendly staff, be careful when ordering.tho My friend doesn't eat bread so asked if she could have fish butty, which came with chips, but to save waste, as she wouldn't eat the bread, to leave the bread off. The waitress said it was small fish and chips, again my friend said she just wanted the fish, but without the bread , that's fine , she agreed but didn't expect to be charged another £8 for the same size fish , confirmed by the waitress, as in the fish butty but without the bread. She felt totally ripped off. Slightly spoilt a lovely lunch out for a friend's birthday. On expressing her disappointment, there was no apology for the misunderstanding . It wasn't about the cost it was about a total mis selling of a meal that was the same food without the bread ,!!!!!!!

Oh dear. Very poor meL. Thai red curry mmh. Sauce thick and gloopy. Barbecue/liquid smoke flavours ++ even the colour strange. More a confused Indian. Served with popadoms and mango chutney. Long grain rice. Very strange. Our other meal was veggie lasagne with very few veg a lot of sloppy red sauce. Reheated chips. Sad to say we wont return for a long time. £10 was knocked off pur bill. We left more than ate.

Visited today for Sunday lunch and wasn’t disappointed. Our group had starters and a main Sunday lunch - the mushroom starter was delicious! Sunday lunch was equally as good - plenty of meat and sides - all the staff were welcoming and friendly. Absolutely couldn’t ask for more just wish I’d had room for pudding.

We visited on Valentine’s Day for the first time and it was absolutely fantastic. Every member of staff was welcoming, friendly and they really took care of us. The food was divine and the portions were huge, we both struggled to finish our main courses. It was on the pricier end for a pub but it was well worth all the money we spent. We will definitely be visiting again.

This was the second time we have been here for Sunday lunch and both times it has been lovely. The staff are happy to see you, the service is excellent, the food even better. The portions are generous and it tastes wonderful. There is a lovely atmosphere and even when it is at its fullest and the tables are all busy, the staff still don’t miss anything and still smile at you. It’s worth a drive to get to but its best to book if you want Sunday lunch.

We went out for my wife’s birthday with the outlaws. The service and food was amazing and this is why we keep returning every month the fillet steak was one of the best I’ve ever had

Returning from a Saturday ramble round North Yorkshire on our way back to Lincs, saw this place which we had driven past a few times so hungry us gave it a try. We both had ‘pie n chips’ , Steak for me and Chicken Ham n Leek for Mrs. It was gorgeous. I had ‘full size’ pie, Mrs had a smaller one with a £1.50 deduction. Shortcrust pastry was crumbly perfect , both pies has tender meat fillings. Staff were super attentive and the feel of the place was what you would want from a village pub. Traditional stone built bar and a lively ‘orangery’ where we sat. Highly recommended, see you again soon !

Returned here for a second time for the best Sunday lunch we have experienced and we have tried a lot of places! The meat is amazing, just falls apart! Staff cannot do enough for you asking if you have enough etc. well worth a visit you won’t be disappointed!

Lovely lunch with our pug who was treated like royalty. Very friendly staff and a sensational steak and ale pie!!

Just had the best Sunday dinner!!!! Was made to feel very welcome. Service and staff were exceptional but the food was outstanding. Delicious. Definitely going back. Price was very fair. Recommend booking a table first because it was super busy. Also, wear your big stretchy clothes, portion size very generous

Excellent food, excellent service, very friendly atmosphere, comfortable, homely, reasonably priced, will definitely visit again💚

The Black Dog oozes friendliness. I had to change the day of the booking at very short notice and received just friendly accommodation of the ask , not a hint of frustration. This set a good precedent for the warm welcome from the landlord. Service was extremely efficient. We were there on a Sunday so traditional roast lunches on offer but also other dishes including vegetarian Helpfully you could also order a small portion, which we did and had ample to eat. The meats were well done and the accompanying sides of good crisp mixed veg, a brilliant cauliflower cheese and mash all good. Fine dining and fancy food this isn’t but they do what they do very well. The Christmas pudding went down well, the bread and butter pudding would have been bettered by a glaze of marmalade or apricot jam on top to offset the sweetness and custard on the side rather than swimming in it. I nitpick. We all had an excellent time not least because of the hosts and the servers. Warmly recommended.

Lovely warm greetings on arrival, dog friendly. Excellent staff who certainly can “banter”. Warm plates!!!! Yes.. and proper bloody pies.. delicious. My friend had Burger, his wife sausage and mash. All delicious, so so full. It’s a good 90mins from us but will definitely be back. Many thanks

Excellent meal our second time beautiful place and the food and service his top we will be back next year

Popped in after a walk, ordered something simple, chip sandwich, my partner was offered choices of bread with her sandwich. I wasnt and got white bread. It was stale and awful, I dont eat white bread so it was wasted, it was also 'automatically' buttered. I dont have butter on bread ever. No allergen questions were asked!. The chips tasted more like truck stop chips frankly. Very expensive for some mediocre chips.

We met up with frriends as it was half way between where they lived and where we lived. It was a superb choice of venue ! The welcome, the food ( both the amount and the taste ) and the customer service were all outstanding - even our springer spaniel was treated to a bowl of turkey. One of our group was gluten free and again, her choice of options and the sweet and sour chicken that was chosen and served, was delicious. The joy of the whole experience though was the wonderful service - everyone was just lovely. A wonderful place to visit.

My friend and I went to the Black Dog today for lunch. Our first visit,, but was attracted by the variety of gluten free meals. We were not disappointed. My friend had GF homemade fish and chips,, followed by GF homemade cheesecake with ice cream . I had braised steak,, mash and seasonal veg followed by creme brule. The food was faultless,, service attentive and professional. Lovely ambience in a warm friendly restaurant. Highly recommend

Absolutely fabulous visit to the Black Dog for my mother in law's 70th birthday. Nothing was too much trouble and they had no problem with us bringing her birthday cake with us. They even stored it in the kitchen for us. All the staff were just lovely and the food was outstanding. A huge choice of meats for Sunday lunch, and everything was of a very high standard. I'm delighted we have discovered this wonderful place and can't wait to go back.

What a fabulous visit today Excellent Sunday Roast, also offering a smaller portion, accompanied with beautiful cooked veg served separately, and gravy. Scummy desserts. Excellent waiting on staff . All overseen by friendly mine hosts. Will be back.

Just been tonight with mum and dad and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The staff were very attentive and friendly and the food was lush. Recommend the pie and fish n chips and if you have room for dessert, choc orange melt …. We will deffo be back. I had read previous reviews about it being a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for and in our view, worth every penny.

Stopped here on our way to see family, we have been before and never disappoints. Had 3 meat roast and it was delicious and all veg was freshly cooked. We hadn’t booked a table but they managed to accommodate us. Lovely staff . Please try you won’t be disappointed

First time of going and the food and service were all very good. Not the most ambient environment but does what it needs for a lunch out with friends. It was hot when we went (believe it or not!) and the door was open to the road which let in a lot of road noise. We would certainly go again

We called in for lunch and we’re not disappointed - lovely food and environment . Staff very friendly and welcoming - thank you

This pub is truly a gem. Went with the with and kids recently and was welcomed by friendly staff keen to service our needs. The pub has a relaxed and clean vibe and truly outstanding food. My lasagna was to die for I recommend it to anyone and the wife and kids loved their food aswell. A special thanks to nick the pot washer who did a brilliant job ensuring all plates came out crystal clean and organising the kitchen in a orderly fashion what a lad.

Just called and had Sunday lunch with the family. Couldn’t fault any part of the experience. 10/10 all round and highly recommended.

Really great food but wow have the prices gone up! We would usually visit the Black Dog around five to six times a year and have always been extremely satisfied with not only the food but the service too. Whilst the service is still there and the quality of the food is still of a high standard, I take umbrage at paying just under £50 for two burgers and fries, a glass of wine and a coke. I get that people have to make a living but I can honestly say, for the very first time ever, we left feeling ripped off and both my husband and I agreed that it was highly unlikely that either of us would want to return. Shame really, as this was the only pub locally that we both enjoyed visiting.

Came here with my partner for Sunday lunch, I knew of the landlady and landlord from a previous pub they had a few years ago and was excellent then, and wandered if they had this one, and was pleasantly surprised. We had Sunday lunch which was out of this world, sat outside and the staff were lovely and accommodating, the place got so busy so quickly but was able to get served no matter, the landlady was really chatty and lovely, and can't recommend this place so much, wish we lived in the village, we would be in every day. Thank you

Called for Sunday lunch on the off chance they could fit us in. Even though this hugely popular pub was heaving with customers we received a very warm welcome and were soon accommodated with a table. Food was really good, ‘spotted dick’ dessert is fabulous. Wonderful all round, will definitely be returning!!

Excellent service Definitely ask for the specials Quick service for freshly cooked and kept up to date on order

Went for lunch,good food but very overpriced,£18 for steak pie and it's only a pub. These are restaurant prices. We were in the conservatory, which was full, but very noisy. The place could do with a refurbishment,dirty carpet in conservatory.

Excellent food and service. Lovely friendly staff. Large portions and home cooked chips. Definitely go again. Brilliant.

Utterly stunning, what a gem this place is. Owners and staff were very warm, friendly and welcoming and everything we ordered was impeccably presented and cooked to perfection. Scarcely believable value for money, couldn’t recommend highly enough. Bring an appetite and don’t skip dessert!

Great find on a few days away. Landlord was very friendly and let us peruse menu at our leisure and shared a joke with us. Food was excellent and plenty some. Definitely recommend. Prices were reasonable for someone who’s used to London prices.

Service was excellent, let down by overpriced food. Quality of food overall was OK, although roast potatoes and parsnips were inedible. Meat well cooked and well portioned. The quality was akin to a reasonable carvery but priced for something better.
