The Buck Inn at Wrelton in Ryedale

I was told never to give 5 stars for anywhere, but this place gets 5 stars from me! Within a weeks stay in Pickering, we visited this place twice!! Definitely recommended!!

Staff where great, very friendly. Meals where really good. The lamb shank special was very good.

Amazing food the belly pork is to die for and the desert of sticky toffee pudding and pineapple was delicious and I don’t usually have deserts well recommended staff very friendly

Marvellous! Beautiful food. Professional and kind! Will definitely return!!

A great find .... randomly chosen from Google maps as it's tucked away a hundred yards off the main A170, a couple of miles outside Pickering. A big plus is that they serve food until 15:00 lunchtime, unlike most other pubs these days, that only serve until 14:00 ... Parking was easy (unlike in Pickering itself) and the staff were very welcoming.... Food and service were excellent ... perfect fish and chips and very reasonably priced. A great find and we'll definitely be dropping in again on our travels.

Relaxed atmosphere where me my husband and our dog enjoyed a lovely evening with gorgeous food. I had the halloumi honey starter and the pork belly and both were exquisite.

We stumbled upon the pub by accident after a day trip whilst on holiday, we had tired and hungry kids and were a few minutes late for end of food service but the staff very kindly allowed us to order. Our son has allergies and the staff had the allergen information ready to go with the menu, it was separated into the sections of the menu and clear to understand. The childrens meals were good sizes and both children demolished them in quick time. One of the main meals was the Steak and Ale pie, this was home made, short crust pastry and deep filled with big chunks of meat and served with a generous portion of mash and veg. The other main meal was the belly pork, again this was a generous portion served with mash and veg, the pork was tender and fell apart. I was nervous about trying the pork cheek croquet as I have not had that cut of meat before and imagined it to be tough but it was soft and delicious. We will definitely return before our holiday ends.

Traditional old pub with fantastic food and an upbeat and funny landlord. Highly recommend the steak pie which sells out very quickly. Reservations needed.

Great views and a lovely little place for a base to the North Yorkshire Moors

Nice friendly pub. Only stopped in for a drink but very welcoming, chatting to the locals and fussing the dogs.

The food,beer and staff are fantastic

Very busy as not opened every evening.

Good atmosphere beers good. We have had several meals now and really impressed with the chefs skills. I had a special smoked haddock the last time I can honestly say it was absolutely delicious. Service very good Bar staff helpful pleasent making it a nice eating experience.

This is a cracking pub. Ales from local breweries were superb. And the food isn’t typical pub food. Slightly more expensive but really worth it. Chicken in bacon and steak pies were absolutely cracking. Pork belly was enjoyed by two friends. Very friendly too. Thanks to bar staff and locals.

We called in for a drink and I wished we had stayed for Sunday Lunch now as the food looked very nice. All home cooked and the staff were very friendly and didn't have a problem that we only wanted a drink with friends and our 2 Labradors were made welcome. Will certainly recommend and return in future.

Managed to arrive just before the rush. Many dog owners, but plenty of space for all. Good selection of beers including local. Menu looked good but we had other plans.

Really friendly, helpful , dog friendly . Great food , staff and service . Will be back

Saturday evening meal for 6 .... Attentive and friendly staff, good menu (plenty I fancied) and food was nice. Cheese board at the end was fantastic too... Generous portions of cheese. First time we've eaten here and will definitely come again...

Post in for one drink lovely welcome will go back to eat

We were staying at a campsite near by so popped in for Saturday lunch, the food was delicious we had the steak n ale pie and the burger plus a dessert each, the local beer was very tasty too, service was friendly and very attentive. We will definitely be back when in the area, highly recommend.

Fantastic little local pub with excellent service, cask beers and great food. We booked a table of 8 over the Xmas period. Booking by email was quick and friendly. All the food was home cooked and delicious. Great selection and everyone’s food was great and arrived quickly. Love a pudding but I’m often disappointed by a standard selection of bought-in stuff- not here!! Proper homemade desserts and custard on offer. Service was terrific- a family business and they clearly work hard and take a lot of pride in what they do. Don’t hesitate to visit.

Booked for a party of 5 using the chat function!! and got a reply super quick! All 5 of us had different meals and everyone’s looked and tasted fantastic all in a great atmosphere with super friendly staff. Well recommended and I will return when in the area next time! Thanks Buck Inn!

A lovely little village pub with excellent food and drink. We were made very welcome and enjoyed food that you might expect in a 5* restaurant. We will certainly be back. The Wold Top Beer was served at perfect temperature and went down very nicely. The decor is thoughtful and the improvements made in this pub is a credit to the current owners.

Had Sunday dinner a couple of times here now and it's flawless. You pay for it but the quality is there and it's all delicious. Dog friendly too which is always a bonus. Will be back when in the area.

Excellent quality meal with first class food and service

Great small pub with high quality food

We, a family of five, turned up without a reservation with 1 minute before the chef was due to clock off. The staff were super helpful in keeping the kitchen open for us and setting a table even before we got everyone in the door. The burgers and steak pies we had were fab, even though we had a very fussy child with us. The atmosphere with locals and tourists alike with dogs sitting quietly was really good too. Big thumbs up from us. Thanks folks.

Please accept my sincere apologies, we had been to another Buck , I think in Thornton le Dale which we did not enjoy. We did not eat at your place but stopped twice for a drink , sat outside and really enjoyed your pub if it were not for driving would have liked to stay for more. Sorry once again. Mike and Deb.

Stopped on a whim and so glad we did. Risotto with Seabass and Burger for the hubby, both first class and extremely tasty!

Amazing food good price too! we both had the belly pork! Just stunning and the young girl who served us was very attentive.

Nice food ,good friendly service,quiet country pub.

Food was nice and portion size is something nobody could complain about although. Nice pub in a absolutely beautiful location.

Best pub food we've had in ages. In fact the best food we've had in ages. Visited here on the last night of our holiday. Wish we had found this great place sooner.

Lovely cosy atmosphere, very friendly hosts. Food is amazing.

Me and my wife had the gammon and chips the food was hot and the food was good.the service was great. From alan and jan

Had a really great meal at this pub, and a cool drink, I give it top marks

We had lunch today, Haddock and Chips and Beefburger and chips. The fish was perfect in home made batter with "proper" chips not fries. The burger was also first class and home made too, 1/2 pound. Finally a word about the staff, really friendly and helpful, seemed like they were enjoying working there. Finally, and this is very important to us, not just dog friendly, they welcomed our pooch. 5 stars isn't enough!

Lovely friendly little pub just outside Pickering, serves great food accompanied by a wide selection of drinks.

We had another exceptional meal at The Buck Inn. Our food was cooked to perfection and the service was excellent. Thanks to Chris and Ellen for a great lunch.

Highly recommend for a local pub experience. Delicious Venison pie, great burgers, perfectly cooked chicken with white wine/mushroom sauce. Nice cold drafts. Friendly service.

Amazing find on the scenic road back from the coast. Delicious food, friendly service. Great place if you're in the area. Highly recommend.

Lovely village pub. Good choice of real ales, great menu and food, open Wednesday to Sunday

A delightful Country Pub with a great Menu, spotlessly clean, good Beer and Wine choices, the Staff friendly and helpful, did like the 'only well behaved Dogs' sign, definitely calling again!

Just found this pub, on our way back to Flaxton. We were not disappointed, excellent welcome and food. We definitely will come again.

We decided to book for a family birthday. Staff were welcoming but they were not able to accommodate some of our requests. Some of the meals were a bit disappointing for the price. There was a smoking area next to the toilets and they smelt a bit unpleasant. I was interested in playing darts but I was glared at by one of the workers which really put me off. Overall the atmosphere was nice but always room for Improvement .

Great food, lovely ambience, delightful owner...and good beer 👍

On route home from a few days away and googled dog friendly pubs.Buck inn got great reviews so we gave it a try.it did not disappoint fab food good selection of beers and dog friendly.I had pork belly as someone had recommended it on a review.superb

Beautiful meal tonight.Pork Belly with spring onions and bacon mash, pig cheek croquette OMG! Delicious, well worth a visit.

Had the steak and mushroom pie from the specials board. Special indeed, this was no pie dish with a bit of filling in it and a slab of dry flaky pastry on top. No, this was a proper all round short crust pie rammed with perfectly cooked steak. The roast veg and mash that came with it were top draw. To be honest there was more than I could comfortably eat but I ate it all anyway because it was so nice and I'm greedy.

We were staying in cottage just up the road. Quite few people in for Nov afternoon - Friday. Small choice of beers but is small village pub. Does food but we didn't eat. Dog friendly

This is a pub that you would move to the village so you could enjoy every day

What a lovely dog friendly pub, great wood burner for those chilly evenings great beer, great food and so friendly both the locals and the staff. I would recommend a visit if you are in the neighbourhood

We have visited this pub numerous times and absolutely love it. Fabulous local pub with brilliant food. Dog friendly and children welcome. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area

Quiet unassuming little village pub. But * great food. Very reasonably priced , plus "sourced locally ingredients.

Very nice friendly pub, The food was excellent 👌

Friendly pub good atmosphere great food

Wow! If you like a roast beef dinner, definitely pop in, it was absolutely lovely.

Great pub for food and drinks staff very welcoming

Went for a meal staff very nice food really nice would Go again

Outstanding food at this country pub. What a gem to find - welcoming to both our children and our dog and serving delicious food. The belly pork was so good my husband wanted another plate for dessert (he resisted but I think he could have eaten it!), the curry had a good heat and fabulous flavour with lovely tender meat and the sea bass risotto was equally delicious. My boys were in love with the chocolate brownie and raspberry sorbet dessert. Having eaten in pubs a lot on this holiday and suffering with a bit of chip fatigue it was so lovely to find an interesting and fresh menu! Highly recommend.

All the food was beautifully presented. The vegetarian options were limited however they offered a variety of specials. The staff were lovely and kind very accommodating for a person in the group who had dietary requirements and were able to suggest alternatives so that it would be suitable. Real cream was used so the Eton Mess was delicious 😊😋

Lovely pub. Helpful staff. Great food very big portion but a bit expensive.

Had a really lovely meal here. Best I've had in ages

Excellent staff, excellent food! So glad we found this little gem!

Lovely outside seating area Friendly staff.

Nobody ever get full marks from me but I could make an exception for the Buck. Service is pleasant and inobtrusive and the food is first class with a varied menu at reasonable cost. Definitely worth another visit when caravan is at Keld Knowle farm over the road. (Also excellent)

Visited this pub for the first time this evening whilst enjoying a few days holiday in Yorkshire. Very authentic village pub, great food, and really friendly staff. A range of specials in addition to the main menu. Brilliant, well worth a visit.

Just got back after having a delicious meal at this pub. I had the risotto and sea bass it was cooked to perfection. My other half had the belly pork which he scored as 10 out of 10. Unusual for him as he normally finds something to complain about 🤣 In all honesty is well worth a visit in our opinion.

Very good food and great service. 👍

Very nice just called in for bit of dinner, a bit prices but ok.

Very welcoming, proper pub. Only had time for a drink but came away with menus to try another day.

Gorgeous food, friendly staff, good selection on offer.

We came across this pub by chance. Excellent hosts and the food really good. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Fantastic Sunday lunch. Food was amazing. Lovely friendly staff. Thank you.

Love it, real ale, fire, great food.

excellent pint of beer friendly people.🙂👍

We visited The Buck Inn as we were staying at Forest Holidays Cropton. Proper local pub run by lovely people, delicious food and a great music play list! Wish it had been a bit closer to Forest Holidays so I could have stayed for a few drinks but sadly I was driving, but don't let that put you off!

Stayed for a few days in the village and enjoyed 2 evening meals in the warm and friendly pub. Staff very pleasant and welcoming. Food delicious and locally sourced.

Great food Good beer. Some may go for the gin.

Outstanding food. Highly recommend the sea bass simple dishes prepared well. Lovely friendly atmosphere

Excellent food grub and fairly priced! Very friendly.

Lovely old pub freandly service, good selection of meals, well presented well worth a visit.

The Buck is our local village pub.very friendly staff. Excellent food. Really delicious desserts.cosy with a lovely wood burner.staff make you feel very welcome.

We dropped in on Sunday afternoon and were made very welcome by the friendly staff. We all enjoyed our home cooked food in a proper pub surrounding. I would recommend the Buck Inn to all.

A great pub menu with a few vegetarian options. Great service and a cosy atmosphere.

Always like visiting this place great food great staff

Top notch wonderful meal enjoyed by all

Great beer, food and friendly staff.

The decor was dated but the staff were friendly and there was a good choice of meals that were augmented by the 'Special's board's. The meals arrived in good time and were tasty and well cooked. There is also a large outdoor seating area.

Loved it food very good and it was very pleasant the lady who served us was very nice

Just visited for food. We were lucky enough to get the last two remaining Sunday roasts. Food delicious, staff friendly and polite. Excellent fast service and reasonable prices. Will be back when next in the area.

Some of the best pub food we have eaten in a long time. Warm and friendly atmosphere and the staff were great.

Food is superb and service was really swift,prices comparable to other pub food

Spot on, excellent home cooked food and very good staff. Decent ale too

Very good service and great food. Very friendly staff.

Came here whilst on holiday.The food was great but a little pricey for pub food.
