The once solid and reliable Provenance Inns seems to be in crisis. Having had a poor experience at The Punchbowl at Marton we were equally unimpressed here. I share the previous reviewer’s thoughts. Young inexperienced waiting staff and not enough of them led to unacceptable delays. The steak pie was most forgettable as was the prawn cocktail. With the high price of eating out now you have a right to expect better than this unless you have low expectations. Spotless toilets was the only positive.

Was looking forward to trying this pub and the restaurant. Unfortunately we felt a little underwhelmed. I think it would help by having more waitresses or waiters as the poor girl was running around trying to look after a lot of tables, it just doesn't work. When you end up waiting 20 mins for a drink order then something is wrong. The food was okay which about sums up our visit. First impressions matter and we both left thinking we won't be going back I'm afraid.

Gorgeous pub in great location. We hadn’t visited for a few years but decided to eat here rather than the nearby pub where we were staying. Food and service were excellent and the only reason it’s not a 5star review is that my husband chose the Korean chicken as a main and found the sauce too overpowering. My mackerel starter and salmon and haddock burger were really good and we look forward to coming back soon.

I booked dinner, B&B at the Carpenter's Arms for my husband's 60th birthday treat and we really enjoyed our stay. Our garden room was lovely, a massive, comfy bed, stylish bathroom, and even seating outside our room for a late evening drink. The rest of the hotel is lovely, as are the welcoming staff. The dinner menu was interesting and we were impressed with what we chose, the cod for me and the duck for my husband. Altogether a fab stay, we'll be back.

Advertised on the main road, we turned up here at 1.30pm on the off chance they would fit us in. We were welcomed to the restaurant with our dog. They couldn't have been lovelier. Got the dog a bed and made us feel that we were important. Customer service was excellent. Food was outstanding. Prices very reasonable for the quality of food we recieved. We had three courses and everyone was delicious. We will definitely visit again. Thank you all so much. Made a good day even better.

Fantastic location, friendly helpful staff, zero complaints in that respect. We went for a Mothers Day dinner, I had booked a few weeks ago and was really excited about eating there. After eating there I left very disappointed, the options were basically some form of Sunday Dinner (run out of chicken) or fish and chips. I ordered the beef Sunday dinner, the meat was grissly, stringy and mostly fat. Singular carrot! Bland veg, overdone Yorkshire pudding. For a moment I could have been in a Wetherspoons. Wife’s dinner had advertised items missing from the plate, also given a soup spoon with desert. We were both really looking forward to this evening but left £60 lighter for a below average dining experience in all honesty, the table was also that sticky I had to use my knapkin to prevent my arms sticking to the table. Oh and the music, very 1970’s adult movie. Best part of the experience was the drive to and from a lovely village. Based on that experience I wouldn’t eat there again I’m afraid.

For a while we have visited the Carpenters Arms approximately once a year with various friends for a pleasant meal. 2023 marked our 50th wedding anniversary, and circumstances meant that we were destined to to celebrate the day alone, so we decided to have a two night stay in Felixkirk.  We made it clear when booking over the phone that our second night, Friday 29th December, would be our actual golden wedding day, and that while we did not want champagne or a special cake, we would like some flowers on the table, and were assured that this would be the case. Now the room (number 10 inside) was fine, there were no towels but they were brought up as soon as we asked.  Two surprises at breakfast, a cafetière of coffee, sugar on the table, but no teaspoons, although the waitress brought them when reminded.  Toast was brought but no butter, and the waitress seemed surprised when we asked for some.  I didn't think too much of it, but the second morning it was the same with a different waitress, we needed to ask for teaspoons and butter! When we came down to the restaurant for our actual golden wedding evening meal the waitress said that she would have liked to given us a window table but we would have to sit at one in the centre of the dining area.  However for the entire duration of our meal there were two window tables set and vacant, what was that about? Despite our request when booking there were no flowers or decorations of any sort on the table.  When I asked the chap who seemed to be in charge he said that they were unaware of our request and unable to do anything. Now I do not mean to give too negative an impression.  Since our previous visit the focus has shifted.  This was now a village pub, the bar crowded with locals and their dogs, plus a menu and service to match, and at that level it worked fine, and I would have written a positive review.  Its just not what we were anticipating. Places change, I should have checked first that it was still up to a special celebratory meal.

The Carpenters had a great attempt at providing a Xmas Lunch that was only let down by the skills in the Kitchen and a lack of organisation. Those on the second sitting had to stand waiting for the tables to be ready due too all available seating taken up by youngsters drinking at the bar in preference to diners paying £120 a head. Canapes and starters were excellent and I'm sure the main course also would have been when it was cooked several hours earlier and then suitably dry, covered overdone vegetables including a lonely 2 Brussell sprouts. We would have loved wine but by the time the main course appeared it was too late. The staff were excellent and made up for what was a memorable meal for the wrong reasons.

We were a 'walk in' so we were so pleased to be shown to a table as the restaurant was very busy. The staff were incredibly friendly, the food was fantastic just faultless. We both had the steak pie which was the best we have ever had. I had creamy mash with mine and my husband had fries. I finished with a lovely flat white coffee in fact I would love to know what coffee they use it was just the best. The coffee was a perfect flat white, some people don't have a clue how to prepare one. My husband had a Affogato which he said was amazing including the taste of the espresso so they obviously use a good coffee bean supplier. A great meal and we hope to go back in the new year and stay at what looks like superior accommodation with lovely views over the Vale of Mowbray.

Lovely surroundings, gorgeous food, just a shame about the lack of service. Upon entering, we were greeted by a young lad, but as soon as his friends walked in behind us, he stopped tending to us so he could have a chat with his mates. Shocked was an understatement. After observing the rest of the place, this just seems to be the norm. Obviously lots of regular drinkers whom the staff like socialising with, so when people from out the area visit, they are made to feel like a hindrance. An abundance of waiting staff yet it took 10minutes for them to figure out they'd completely forgot our drinks order, too busy talking and not enough work, counted 5 staff members all stood behind the bar chatting amongst themselves. Drinks flat, they did exchange for free, (the eldest male on shift was the only respectable staff member on) patronising apology from one of the girl waitresses though. Noticed how management didn't ask how everything was upon paying as she knew the answer she'd get. Relying on your food will only get you so far sweetheart.

We booked here months ago after booking a weekend away for my birthday and we couldn’t have been more disappointed with the whole experience. To say we booked well in advance, when we arrived it was like we were forgotten about straight away. The table wasn’t ready so we were asked to sit at a table round the corner from the bar and to wait. 40 minutes went by and we had to go to the bar to ask about our table which we were asked if we just wanted to stay where we were. By this time we were hungry so agreed. Menus got brought and after another 30 minutes we once again had to go to ask to order food. We ordered 2 pies and were told they take about 25 minutes in the oven which we were fine with. We also ordered more drinks at this point which never arrived. The pies arrived 30 minutes later with no drinks, and to say we were informed about the time they take to cook they weren’t even hot inside. We were so disappointed with everything and felt completely forgotten about which ruined what was meant to be a lovely evening.

July 23 2023 Very disappointed to be turned away midday on a rainy Sunday when I called hoping for a good lunch . I hadn’t booked but felt as I was just one lone lady , that the reply of - kitchen is at full capacity and ‘ sorry we don’t do walk ins’ was a bit uncalled for . ? It did look busy I admit , but the bar area could surely have accommodated me . .. and how hard would one more plate have been . ? If there had been several of us I could have understood the rebuff but where was the good old Yorkshire hospitality ? I’m not a local but I’ve driven out And eaten alone with pleasure a couple of times before in the recent past .. but feel that I’ll be thinking twice about driving up the road again in case Im turned away ..

we booked Sunday lunch on recommendation. Our waitress needed to be trained in hospitality. She started taking away our plates when our grandchildren were still eating their dinners, when she was cleaning the table of 2 that had left next to us she just wiped the mess left on the table to the floor with her hands, no cleaning the table with a damp cloth. Also for some strange reason asked to take all our unused cutlery from our table to be put back into the cutlery trays without washing!!! . Our table was all sticky and if that is how you clean the tables no wonder. For the money you charge the service and cleanliness is something to be desired. Needless to say we will not be returning.

Best Sunday Lunch Ever!! Make time to go here on a Sunday…….great beer, dog friendly, lovely setting! By far the best Sunday roast we have had from a pub/restaurant and plenty of gravy! You will not be disappointed.

I'm not one to normally leave reviews but felt it was necessary after today's experience. Arrived at 12:30 for Sunday lunch, waited until 13:50 before it came out. The waiter, although apologetic, did not know why it was delayed but he just said they said...

Putting aside the very nice restaurant and enclosed log fire, we were less than impressed by our dinner. My wife chose the pumpkin soup priced at £6 to mitigate the cost of the 8 oz Ribeye (at £32) she chose for her main course. The...

Latte coffee (with extra shot) allegedly large but certainly only medium, small piece of mass produced poor quality cake....£9.05 !!!!! Massively over priced. Waited to be seated and waited to give my order while the member of staff who should have been serving me filled in her paperwork and chatted with staff. My coffee when it arrived was covered in coffee grounds and was undrinkable. I took it back and the woman who served me was very polite apologised and served me quickly with another one. I must say she was the ONLY staff member who showed any customer care at all. If you want over priced drinks and cake along with a poor attitude from staff then pay them a visit. Otherwise I suggest giving them a wide berth!!

I have been here for the last 3 weeks on business for 2 nights a week, still 3 weeks to go 😀 Lovely welcome by everyone who has been on reception on all my visits, very helpful, friendly and they go that extra mile to help. The rooms I've stayed in so far are ( 2-10 and 31) which were very clean, cosy and well presented with everything you needed, Iron, hairdryer and tea and coffee facilities. The only little issue was the shower door rollers kept coming loose, just life cycle replacement needs attention at some point. I could not fault any of the cleaning at all and that's very rare for me due to being a cleaning trainer for the NHS, hotels, schools and offices for 20 years. I meet some of the cleaning first thing on the morning and they were also very polite and always smiling. The bar area was comfortable, clean, all the staff are friendly and the food in the restaurant-bar is excellent, large portions, presented beautifully and very tasty...... 😋 I didn't have the breakfast , so i can't comment on that... Thank you so much for making me feel welcome, especially when I'm here on my own. I will miss coming here when my business in Northallerton comes to an end 😊

Great food, super service and staff however they really need to address the fly problem. I’ve been twice recently and both times been bothered by a number of small annoying flies buzzing around my food. It’s really not good enough and clearly a long standing issue as previous reviews also highlight. The problem is spoiling an otherwise fantastic restaurant, our food was delicious, and apart from swatting the little blighters we had a great evening.

Cracking food, had the English breakfast but your portion sizes are for a small adult/child Such a nice classy place where you can chill and dog friendly with a doggy water station
