Lovely venue, however there a lot of teething problems that need addressing. When we walked in the lady turned round and said sit wherever before turning back around again. This is fine but it did feel like a bit of a cold welcome/first impression. When we got to the table there was only 1 menu for the 2 of us and that was a piece of paper covered in food. I’m unsure on other drinks being on the menu but we had to ask for the wine list. I have eaten here once before and we had fabulous table service, it’s sad to see they are no longer doing this and you have to go to the bar to order. We ordered steak but unfortunately it was sold out, it’s always very very quiet in there so I guess maybe they don’t order in a lot of produce. We ate early tea time so I was surprised they didn’t have any but we decided on something else. Which reminds me we had a table booked late last year for 18 of us. I ended up getting a call on the day of the reservation to be told we could only pick from 3 main meals and that was pie, a fish one and a veggie option.. sadly no steak or burgers then, so we was left with no choice but to cancel our meal and go to the plough where we got to pick from a very large varied menu. Back to our last visit, when the starters arrived they tasted really nice and we was off to a good start.. However when the main arrived, all I can say is picture eating your burger out of a very pale French bread roll, it wasn’t the best. I ended up leaving the bread and just eating the beef on its own, again this is new because I have had the burger before and it was in a lovely burger bun. The burger also had a small pot of mayo on the plate but sadly it was all slimy with a thick layer of hardened mayo on top, which of course didn’t look very appealing. I can only imagine to save time they pre pour them and have them in the fridge but don’t cover them in cling film to keep in the moisture in. Unfortunately no one came to ask if the food was ok and even when the plates were cleared away, we was greated with pure silence. There is next to no atmosphere in the restaurant, this time there was a few other tables in but last time sadly only 1 other table, it would really benefit from some back ground music.. or if there was background music it needs to be slightly louder as I’m pretty sure it was silent in there. At this point we had an hour to spare but didn’t want to stay and drink or get a dessert, we very quickly wanted to leave and go elsewhere. For such a beautiful venue and a slightly higher price point, the service and quality didn’t match that.. sadly I understand why a lot of my local friends & family choose not to eat here. It’s a shame because other than the white horse & the plough, there isn’t anything else locally that’s a bit more premium where you can enjoy your weekend evenings. A lot could be done to make this place a success and fill all of those empty tables.

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.

A truly 5 star breakfast after flying in to the nearby Sherburn Aero Club. We were able to book ahead (as noting worse than flying somewhere to find you can’t be seated). Staff were incredibly pleasant, attentive and the food top quality. My wife enjoyed the vegetarian breakfast immensely, the “bacon” was some of the best we’ve ever tried. My meat eaters breakfast was equally delicious.

The restaurant is nicely decorated, and the food is very well presented and a step up from the rank and file or chain places etc, although don't expect absolute top notch. Probably the weakest aspect was the service, though its probably not easy to get the best staff out here these days, so I understand and there was nothing that spoilt the meal. Kids meals are good, with quite a few options and food that is definitely better quality than most kids meals, though if you go three courses it ends up being £13 and that is without a drink included, so definitely on the high end price wise for kids meals. You do get a free toy car included. Interesting to see all the various cars of visitors drive by and pull up into the car park.

Have visited many times. Staff wearing masks and tables well spaced out. 50% off pizzas Mon-Fri. Excellent pizzas but pizza menu is unusual. Not many classics. Definitely alternative pizza toppings such as falafel and tzatsiki and squid pizza. Not that great for the unadventurous but worth a try. Other options such as burgers, tapas and flatbreads available.

fish and chips on friday are excellent, been there regularly also drop in for a pint , large sign on entrance re parking and on doors leading in to pub so a few idiots who don’t look or read signs.
