The Fauconberg Arms Restaurant in Hambleton

Sunday lunch disappointing. Waited a long time to be served a ridiculously noisy back bar area. Crammed in with another table. Front bar or restaurant would have been better. Food was disappointing small portion for Sunday lunch standard size and hardly any vegetables. My food came and was replaced by this time my partner had almost finished hers. The wait was what seemed for ever. I seldom loose my cool or get frustrated my meal came back with the wrong one. It was sorted out eventually by the house keeper/manager professionally. Hopefully a one off I have excellent meals here in the past just went wrong today. I would recommend getting there early not mid afternoon. Having drive from York I was hoping to have a good experience it just did not happen today .

Superb food and staff, a lovely proper country pub with staff to match, we wished we had eaten here all of the time we in the locality , we tried a few others but none compares, do try this old world charm for yourselves.

Had Sunday lunch which was really good. The 4 of us all had pork (for a change). Would highly recommend. Desserts of sticky toffee pudding and bread and pudding were divine. Lovely staff. Would definitely go back.

We called into the pud for a drink on the way to our lodging and booked an evening meal for the following night.Good job we booked the place was busy. Nice ambiance in the bar area and very friendly landlord and staff. I had tempura soft shell crabs followed by cow cheek, my wife had beetroot followed by venison steaks. We both finished off with crumble. All the food without exception was delicious. Looking forward to our next visit.

We had stayed at the pub previously and been very impressed. This time we visited for dinner twice during our 3 night stay at our cottage across the road. We ate in the bar area which was very busy, and enjoyed dog watching! The food was as good as ever and a special mention for the sauces on the mains- the cheery sauce on the duck and the Diane on the chicken were exceptional. I must also mention the house red wine which is gorgeous! Prices are reasonable for the quality of food. All the staff were friendly and the service was good. We were even served by Annalise on the Saturday night. She and her team do a fantastic job and it’s lovely to see such a successful business in a small village location.

Just had a delicious Sunday Lunch today 25/8 at the Fauconberg Restaurant in the quaintest village of Coxwold. We were greeted and served by the loveliest of staff who made sure we were happy diners, and indeed we were. We have passed the restaurant many times on our holidays in Yorkshire and are wishing we had visited before now. More than happy to recommend to other hungry travellers, just make sure to book before you go. We particularly enjoyed our H20….!😉 if you know, you know!

Excellent from start to finish. Welcomed at the door and guided to our seats in the very comfortable dining room. Service was pleasant and friendly and efficient. The steak pie was truly magnificent. A full coating (top and bottom) of short crust pastry and jammed full of rich and tender beef. Genuinely one of the best pies I’ve ever had. Three real ales on tap (I think) had the Rudgate Jorvik which was very pleasant. Prices very sensible for the quality and portion size. The pie was £16 and I’m glad I didn’t have a starter. Three of us shared a large and delicious sticky toffee pudding for dessert. On warmer days the garden is lovely with really special views.

Had a family gathering in the old coach barn . Excellent food and service Thank you Mally and the hotel team for great organisation and quality food and drink . Certainly recommend for any family gatherings . Thank you for making the day special

Lovely traditional pub! Incredibly welcoming and also dog friendly. Would recommend the prawn cocktail and the eton mess sundae in particular. Will definitely be returning and would recommend to others!

The Fauconberg managed to fit us in on what was an extremely busy lunch time, which highlighted just how popular the place is. We had fish and chips and roast beef which were delicious.Large portions and half portions were also available too if you didnt have a large appetite or perfect for children .There was also a good gluten free selection too. I followed with a yummy portion of sticky toffee pudding and ice cream.Dogs are also allowed in the bar area which is great. All in all I would highly recommend eating here and hope to return one day

Superb food , cooked to perfection , local ingredients. Excellent service . Comfortable well appointed bedrooms Very tasty breakfast. Beautiful beautiful setting , with lovely garden at the rear of the property which is so so beautiful just to sit in and have a lovely quiet drink . We just keep coming back . Always a wonderful warm welcome

booked this brilliant pub for a two night stay with our German shepherd we were warmly welcomed and there is nothing that the staff or owner will not do to make your stay the best it can be. one of the best breakfasts I have had and the evening menu is very good fish and chips home made pies and the Lamb Henry is amazing along with the desert choices Apple and plum crumble with custard yummy . cant wait to try that again

Hi,last night 6 of us attended the pub for a meal for my 60th birthday in the restaurant. I've been several times in the past and decided to come here as its such a good venue . However.....we all arrived at 7pm ,the pub to be fair wasnt particularly busy nor was the restaurant, we were seated and had an very good meal and drinks,but the restaurant was cold ,I was sat next to a radiator which was stone cold, the ladies put there coats on during the meal as they were cold. After the meal we decided to go back into the bar where we thought it would be warmer,to our dismay it wasn't,the bar was totally empty, which I was surprised to see on a Friday night ,the time was about 915pm but the fire was no longer lit ,we asked if it could be ,but was told it had stoked up for the night and that was that. The 6 of us sat with our coats on ...we asked about the other bar which had a fire but was told we couldn't sit in there as it has been set up for breakfast. We were then told we could still buy drinks but they wanted to cash up the till,so we paid for our food and earlier drinks (£300,which was to be fair good value for the food and drinks we had),we bought some more drinks and sat in the cold bar ,couldn't see any bar staff,so drunk up and went home ,leaving the pub before 10pm. We felt they just wanted to close up early!! Once outside it was pitch black there were no outside pub lights on so we had to use our phone torches to negotiate the cobbles. The whole evening was a bit of a damp cold squib,yes the food was good but really nothing else was ,please please consider your customers,even if the pub is quiet ,and maybe make them feel more welcome, Chris P

Years ago, I wrote up my favourite bar in Venice. Schoolboy error. It was another five years before I managed to secure a table again,. So I am reluctant to share this secret with you, but it is only fair on the great team that run it to keep it busy. It is a virtuous circle, of benefit to all. It is not, however, a place for woke townies. Go see, sample and adopt; this is a very special place.

We had two excellent meals here during our stay nearby. The quality of the food was excellent with a great choice on the menu. The dining room was well appointed and comfortable. The service was warm and friendly and we were made to feel very welcome. We were delighted to learn that local chef, Mark Westaby, who served us "meals on wheels" during our Yorkshire holiday stay in 2020 was now in the kitchen here. We should have guessed as his food is always top quality. Highly recommended.

Had a delightful lunch with friends here - lovely friendly atmosphere and every table was full by the time we had been served our food. Sea bass, chicken, lamb chops and delicious steak and ale pie were our choices. All excellent and very tasty. Good value too. Service was a little slow but then the pub was full to bursting. Thanks Fauconberg, we shall be back! Timothy Taylor beer was also well managed.

Can't fault the food. Shocking service, very rude, made everyone feel very uncomfortable.! Wouldn't be rushing back anytime soon which is a shame as it's always been a great pub. Very disappointed.!

Saturday lunch. Easy to park outside. Proper beer, well kept. Good and varied pub food, plus specials such as seafood platter, fish of the day, lamb's liver. Well cooked, the star was the chocolate brownie though, "best I've ever tasted" from our brownie expert. Service charming and very efficient. A great place in this handsome village.

Had a wonderful meal here. Cooking is exceptional and very reasonable prices. Excellent service. Had the homemade steak and ale pie that was just lovely. The gravy had such depth. Excellent

A super Sunday lunch. Roast beef cooked to perfection. Pork loin with lots of crunchy crackling. And the biggest whale this side of Whitby - ok it was battered Haddock, with chips and mushy peas. Brilliant. The olde world restaurant was a fine back drop to our three generational family lunch which tasted even better because Granddad paid. Only niggle were the very hard carrots left by each of the five roast eating guests. No biggy and we mentioned it when asked. I do have a theory though as to why the carrots were on the very crunchy side and that is I am sure they are given to local horses as there are, I am told, a number of staff members who ride. Lucky horses. In summary... sounds like the conclusion to an essay as I type... the F' is a fine restaurant, with excellent friendly staff. Would we return? You bet we would.

When we arrived, several members of staff were behind and near the reception desk, when they saw us walk in, they all moved into the kitchen, leaving us waiting at the desk unattended while they continued with their chat. Re the food: not enough gravy, quite dry. Not enough vegetables, too much potato, roasties too big and a bit undercooked in the middle. Very good dessert, sticky toffee pudding was excellent. Lots of flies in dining room/bar area. Staff seem to lack any great customer service skills, mostly the service was without eye contact or any pleasantries. We ordered a bottle of still and a bottle of sparkling water. We were left with a jug of tap water with no explanation (we later found out by asking that you do not have bottled still water). Staff can make or break a business where customer service is crucial to the experience. The staff at the Fauconberg really need to brush up on this!

Spot on for lovely meal! Friendly staff, delicious food! Came on a Monday evening but still plenty of atmosphere!

We spent most of Sunday in the Fauconberg lovely friendly pub great beer and we had a fantastic Sunday roast, the beef was top class and we thought for the quality of food, beer and wine it was very well priced 😁 bar staff were great and allowed us to move tables so we could eat and drink wine so we could watch Manchester United beat Brighton on penalties while we ate 🤣

Yummy! Seafood platter and chunky chips mmm Lovely atmosphere in this warm, cosy place. The staff team are good at their jobs and still like people! Dogs very welcome, treats on the bar 🐶

Great location fab food will be back very soon wish it was on my door step. Would be there lots. Fresh fish perfectly cooked.

We really enjoyed our room (troutsdale) it was very clean, light and welcoming. Evening meal was very high quality. We both had the Duck breast from the special board. Cooked to perfection and very enjoyable. The cooked breakfast was beautiful with high quality ingredients, piping hot and very tasty. All the staff were welcoming and very friendly. We will definitely return as the overall experience was excellent.

We ate there on both nights that we stayed in coxwold the restaurant was busy on both occasions the food was of a good quality the only reason I haven’t given 5 stars is after we had eaten on the first night my wife asked if she could reserve a lamb dish for the next night and they said yes but when we returned next day they only offered her lamb chops

This lunch was booked prior to Covid in late 2019 but did not take place till October 2021. The Fauconberg kept to their original price and provided us with a superb lunch. The food was excellent and the staff could not have been more professional and helpful.Thank you for making it a memorable afternoon.

We were staying in Kilburn, but decided to try and find somewhere different for lunch, and I found this gem! Really gorgeous building, and accommodating staff, considering we hadn't booked. Menu is very simple, and everything looked delicious.Local beers and cider on draught. We both opted for the fish and chips, and were NOT disappointed, I asked for new potatoes though, and they were fine with that. The fish was light and flaky, and the homemade tartare sauce was just delicious.Really warm and friendly atmosphere! And the bonus, was that my husband discovered there was an English Heritage site just up the road, so we had a little look around an old Monastery too.All in all, a lovely village and a great pub. Next time we go, I think we will stay over.Thank you! The Wrights x

Me and my partner dined here last night and we just want to say thankyou for the excellent service....we request a quiet table which we received in the restaurant...quiet table due to personal reasons.....Amelia our waitress was absolutely amazing and she cheered us both up with her attitude and humour....the food was above and beyond delicious...no faults whatsoever...a massive thankyou for everything guys....we will be back to enjoy your company and outstanding food in the near future....again thankyou so much...xxxx

Super dinner, very good food with great portions too. Plenty of choice, 6 ladies made very welcome, highly recommended!

I visited with my wife for dinner in the evening. Claudia and her team made us feel very welcome. For starters we had the seafood sharing platter which was excellent, nicely presented and perfect for two. For mains we had lamb Henry and chicken with bacon and leek. Both mains (specials) were excellent and there were two spotless plates at the end. We finished off sharing a sticky toffee pudding. The food was to a very high standard - we couldnt fault anything. There is a good mix of locals and visitors in this pub which creates a nice ambience. Unlike many such places the staff were equally chatty to locals and visitors alike. Already looking forward to our next visit!

Sat outside for drinks before eating lovely setting on a warm autumn evening We had read glowing reviews about the food We ordered the burger and scampi from a limited menu with 1 special At best the food was average

My partner and I visited (with our pooch!) and were warmly welcomed. The website said they were fully booked but I made a phonecall and spoke to a lovely person who accommodated us. Really friendly and asked if we needed a dog water bowl etc. The food was very tasty and HUGE portions which we're not used to down South! My two recommendations are the house white wine and tomato soup, both were fabulous. Thank you for a lovely evening :)

I came up here for lunch with my family and had booked but had the choice of the bar or restaurant (we chose the restaurant). The food and service were very good and I enjoyed one of the specials (Catch of the Day) whilst burgers were enjoyed by the others, I also enjoyed my starters and desert and even with drinks, I was pleasantly surprised by the bill. Having read other reviews posted on the B&B site, I would like to visit here on a Sunday for lunch but believe I will definitely need to book in advance!

We had a delicious evening meal. We were made very welcome by all the staff who helped us find a table that would suit the two of us and our dog. Don’t miss out on the black pudding scotch egg starter—it was delicious.

We stayed here the first week of July for our son's wedding, and the team had a wonderful time. The staff coped well with our many demands, the highlight being dinner for 14 the night before. So, we are most grateful. The countryside round here is stunning, with chocolate box villages. It is like the Cotswolds, without the crowds and the Range Rovers. Very special. Do book.

I am sorry to have to give this restaurant a poor review it is mainly regarding the lack of Covid safety measures The food and services was Ok!! Other than the young server telling us that some of the specials could either be starters or mains which when ordering was not the case The main issue we had there were no consideration for the covid regulations,social distancing between tables was non existent my chair was so close to the one on another table it was touching at one point and when moving around there was no consideration from staff One final point the art in the male toilets although interesting was not appropriate for a family restaurant The place is obviously popular but so are other places that space tables to comply with covid regulations rather than put profit over customer safety I suggest if you are considering eating at the Fauconberg you wait till restrictions are lifted and Covid is under control

This little place was a gem of a find. The village was beyond quaint with bus stop signs hailing from the 50/60s and the building directly across from the pub dating from the late 1800s. The pub itself dates from the 1700s and looked gorgeous from the outside. We didn’t have a need to go inside as we sat at a table outdoors since the weather was so good!We turned up without a booking after driving from York especially to visit and they were fantastic in accommodating us. We should have booked ahead and I would recommend doing that as it was a busy place. We both had pie and chips which were delicious. The chips and pie were both homemade served with a generous helping of gravy! However, me and my sweet tooth absolutely adored the sticky toffee pudding. The Fauconberg Arms Sticky Toffee Pudding can put a 5 red star resort’s, which is local to me, pudding to shame!It’s a bit out of the way but very much worth the drive and visit!Thanks again for squeezing us in at short notice!

We visited for a meal having driven past many times and thought it looked nice. Our drinks arrived and our order was taken promptly. Our starters arrived quickly and were both very nice, the presentation of them was also good. I had chosen the prawn and avocado and my partner the black pudding scotch egg. Unfortunately the main courses were not to the same standards. We waited over 40 minutes after our starters which is too long. The table next to us received their food having ordered it after we had finished our starters. I did speak to the proprietor who argued they had ordered prior to our starters and that she was short staffed as one chef was not in, it was also busy. Whilst I understand these issues impact the level of service, I do feel that as a customer my experience shouldn’t be effected by such a delay in service, nor did I appreciate feeling as though I shouldn’t be complaining. The main courses were very average, we ordered scampi and chips which came exactly as described. (I could have produced better at home, as I’m sure both were frozen products) My partner ordered the special steak which had been heavily cooked in garlic butter, as had the mushrooms and tomatoes. We like garlic but this was too much! We didn’t stay for dessert. Unfortunately a disappointing Saturday evening when trying somewhere new to us and frustrating when we know of an exceptional establishment just 1 mile down the road.

Enjoyed a relaxing casual lunch at the Fauconberg Arms in this charming North Yorkshire village. Staff were very accommodating and friendly and kept us informed of the delay in food service. The food was straight forward,good quality,tasty and nicely presented.Definitely worth a worth if you’re in the area!

Food to die for. The steak pie was a true triumph and no wonder they say they're famous for the sticky toffee pudding. Everyone was wonderfully friendly and the views were amazing

Lovely short crust steak and ale pies,Can't comment on any of the other meals as we only had the steak and ale pies which we're gorgeous ! But the Sunday roast that we're coming out equally looked great.Sticky toffee pudding with ice cream and the bakewell tart with ice cream we're heavenly.

We stopped for an excellent lunch. The staff were very accommodating by opening a part of the pub up that would normally be closed for lunchtimes, because they were full. The food was excellent.

A good GF beef and horseradish sandwich, nice drinks, but a really indifferent pasta dish - watery cream sauce that didn’t stick to the macaroni, trace amounts of spinach, and uncooked onions - really not very pleasant, and shouldn’t have been allowed over the pass. On the plus side the serving staff were friendly and cheerful.

A lovely lunch at The Fauconberg after our walk to the White Horse. Both of us had the Caesar Salad with a portion of really great chips. Nice glass of Rose for Mrs SmY and a pint of Isaac Poad IPA for me. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and a nice cool restaurant made for a great lunch.

Stopped on the off-chance on way back from Sutton Bank and enjoyed a superb meal with our children and grandchildren. Great service, lovely ambiance and will most certainly visit again.

This pub was exactly half-way between us and friends ( 1 hour each to be precise) and was perfect. The pub in this beautiful village is just so lovely, the staff welcoming and friendly too, despite all the horrid restrictions we are all living under. We all chose different meals and loved our choices but also felt we would have also chosen each others! It was obvious that the fish in two of the meals was just so fresh and cooked to a T, as was the freshly made steak & ale pie. As for the desserts, we were all delighted and will certainly go back again and have no issues in recommending this lovely place

Despite the current restrictions, this place was an excellent choice as our first experience of eating out in a while. Went here after reading a recent review in the local press and our knowledge of the chef's reputation for delivering good food.Customer service was great, the front of house staff were very much on the ball and the food was fabulous. happy to recommend and will be definitely revisiting.

We visited for Sunday lunch last week-end. We had high hopes after reading a review in the York Press but alas it did not deliver. The Beef and Yorkshire pudding were very good but everything else was passable. Th roast potatoes we large and hardly roasted , the mash was gluey, the veg were nearly raw ( we like al dente but not raw). We did not even recognise the leeks at first, they were a strange colour and what I think was cheese sauce on them was watery. We were very disappointed. We were sat in the bar at the back, where there was 3 dogs, as we didn't have a dog this was not very pleasant. The two on the next table to us were sat watching me eat, I know the owners are responsible for them but why put us in that room. Altogether not a good experience.

After a 3 mile walk from Husthwaite to Coxwold, we arrived at The Fauconberg. What a beautiful pub, made better with the great weather! I had called a week before to book a table for 4 with no problems and a very friendly lady on the phone! We indulged in starters, mains and dessert. The Sunday lunch was excellent (the beef beautifully cooked) and the choices on the specials menu were excellent too! We loved the whitebait starter and battered black pudding (corr!) and the sticky toffee pudding was very naughty in the best way possible! Would definitely come again and thank The Hideaway @ Baxby Manor for the recommendation!

Called ahead to book a table for lunch. no problem. Asked to sit outside, no problem. It was a beautiful day. On arrival, welcoming friendly service. Food was excellent. Highly recommend.

We precooked a table over the phone and on arrival was told no booking had been received? We were offered a table outside but was then moved inside for another party and was told it was due to them prebooking but not eating? After being moved indoors we waited 30 minutes for a menu to be then told by the waitress that she can not say when she was going to be able to take our food order (AS SHE WAS DEALING WITH PATRONS WHO HAD PREBOOKED)!!! We were made to feel so uncomfortable after an hour and 20 minutes still no food and basically being ignored we settled our drinks bill and stated we were not prepared to wait any longer? To be then handed our food reciept and told our food would be out shortly without any apologises from staff regarding wait time etc Therefore we declined to wait any longer and cancelled our food and left! Felt very disappointed from the whole experience we were visiting the area and booked in advance due to the restaurant being recommended to us ? Would strongly avoid going here if you are a visitor and not a local!! ADDITIONALLY WE WERE NOT ASKED FOR ANY COVID 19 TRACK AND TRACE INFORMATION AND BASICALLY PROVES JUST HOW WE WERE IGNORED FROM START TO FINISH !! THIS RESTAURANT DID NOT ADHERE TO GOVERNMENT GUIDLINES?

Another pub doing its best to keep pace with the Covid guidance but also serving some excellent food. Table for 4 came to £85 for two courses and drinks so good value. The Pork Chop was outstanding and the wife’s steak was perfectly cooked. The pizza could do without the salad topping (or serve the dressing on the side so you can remove if you wish) and maybe an option for smaller pizzas for kids to go alongside the other half portion options available would be good but still welcoming for families and serving a very nice pint too.

We stayed at the Hideaway@Baxby Manor and this was one of the pubs recommended on their website so we thought we'd give it a try. We certainly weren't disappointed!We were the first people in the pub as we'd booked a table for 6.30, however it felt really cosy and comfy and by 7.00pm there were lots of people and most of the tables were taken. Our whitebait starter was absolutely delicious and both our Whitby Scampi and my Husbands pie were fantastic - great sized portions cooked really well.Service was really quick and there was literally nothing to dislike - I just wished we lived closer. Still, when we're back in the area next year, we'll definitely be booking another table here.

Party of four on a Monday lunchtime. Menu is quite basic but there was plenty of nice sounding specials on the blackboard. 3 of us wanted the steak and ale pie but they had run out so opted for the mince and onion on the specials board. One gammon as well. The pie was good but a lot smaller than the steak pie that the other table were eating. We asked for chips instead of mash and they were fine. The mushy peas were nice. Our friend having the gammon said it was nice. The Theakstons beer was the best part of our visit-very well kept. Service was good and there was enough people in to create a decent atmosphere. Decent value for money on the food.I’d go back if walking in the area again.

I won a competition on facebook and we stayed last night, quite a drive for us so it was lovely to be welcomed with a smile into a nice cosy atmosphere.Our room had a four poster bed and was lush and clean. We had a three course meal and it was supberb and breakfast this morning was lovely too.I would totally recommend it.negatives and they are minor a cat was roaming on the seats in the dining room i had no issue with this as I Iove cats but I think some people might also the dining room could do with a specials board the same as in the bar area. but like I say only minor pointsWe had a truly splendid night away.

well kept and tasty beer prior to a fantastic evening meal with great hostess in a lovely setting - couldn't be better

One thing I have learned is to always take the last few (negative) reviews with a pinch of salt !!! We are staying in the village for the weekend for a birthday weekend away - and had booked to go to the Fauconberg for dinner. And then I read the reviews and started getting the collywobbles! Disregard the negativity is my advice to you!Welcome - exceptionally friendly. Food choice- fantastic (try all the specials! We did). Service - timely, discrete.To embellish - I had the duo of duck followed by the venison, my husband had the Haddock fishcake followed by the Trio of Pork. They were all hot, cooked to perfection, served in a timely fashion and absolutely delicious.I can only advise you to take all the slightly negative reviews with a pinch of salt - and really just listen to me !! It's great, it's tasty and a really exceptional night out. Unreservedly recommended!

Chose to have lunch here as we were meeting friends. Service was a little off - we had a table booked but had to go to the bar to order all drinks, another table asked to see the wine list only to be told that the bottles are on the shelf at the side of the bar. My potted duck starter was very nice but the venison (a little dear ;-) at 18 quid) was tough as old boots and certainly did not appear to have been freshly cooked, in addition to the very poor and overpriced venison, our friend's burgers were very dry although my wife enjoyed her pasta. Disappointing as we had all travelled a fair distance to eat here, the standard of the food certainly did not live up to the excellent beer and beautiful village setting.

We stayed here, but was available to none residents, and found that the range of meals was very comprehensive. Good portions of locally sourced produce, promptly and well presented. Owners and local staff were very friendly and efficient.

Recently visited with friends and on arrival were warmly welcomed by staff. Food was good but personally do not think a cat should be allowed to roam around a dining room. Big problem for people with allergies.

well The Fauconberg Restaurant is Fantastic and great warmth feeling and the Staff excellent helpful polite and friendly the service great ad great prices we enjoyed it a real Yorkshire place

Came here on a Saturday night for birthday and was not disappointed. Friendly drinks bar, eating area and finer dining room. Had a nice cosy drink in the bar before and after dinner. Service was brilliant, food was great and at reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend as a slightly cheaper alternative to the Durham ox a village over. Will be back

The setting is stunning and the cask beer was well kept. The menu was basic but executed nicely. We all enjoyed our food Anne the children’s menus were up there amongst the best. The ham was brilliant and clearly locally sourced. The biggest problem for me was the older lady working there who was at best, brusque and at worst, rude. She did nit make us feel welcome or valued. The chap was much friendlier.

If you like rude staff, under cooked burgers and mice covered in maggots...this is the place for You!

We were there for lunch, so I can’t comment on the accommodation. It’s a nice and friendly place, but don’t go there just for the food, which I found very plain. Nothing wrong with it, but it was somewhat unimaginative, the sort of meal that won’t upset anyone, but on the other hand will not tempt you to make a big detour either.

We visited on a Sunday evening and thankfully booked a table. The pub was very busy, mainly with locals. The village of Coxwold is beautiful and would a walk around. The menu offered quite a bit of choice with a variety of starters and mains. We chose Pork Belly and soup of the day to start followed by Lasagne and duck. The food was excellent and very tasty. We couldn't manage a pudding, but there was a good choice.

We visited in October 2018 - I rated it excellent but forgot to complete the review - so here it is. Brilliant food. We stayed in the village for a few days and ate here twice. The second night we were greeted like old friends. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with a mix of locals and tourists.

Didn't eat but had drinks sitting outside on a sunny evening. The place is a proper village pub and many locals clearly enjoy the atmosphere. It's a good place to relax in and soak up the Yorkshire vibes.

Have eaten here a few times now when we have been staying in the area. The food is good quality and reasonably priced. My partner always has the Steak & Ale Pie which he enjoys so much. The pub has a lovely atmosphere and we have always been made welcome by the locals. A visit is highly recommended.

We had lunch with my wife here last Monday and I have to say that it was much better than some ordinary pub meal.

We booked a room at last minute as a quick get away. Checked in and the four poster room was lovely, crooked as expected of a building of this age but most importantly clean. Village location is beautiful. All staff made us very welcome. I was worried at first it might be the sort of place where we may be interrupting the daily lives of the locals. Nothing could be further from that. Everyone was friendly and met some lovely people and enjoyed a night a varied conversations. Food was good and breakfast hit the spot, all very relaxed. Will most definitely be returning and would recommend a visit to anyone.

A splendid Sunday Lunch with the family. Great food and service at a very fair price. A lovely location in God’s own County

Dinner booked for 2, warm welcome, good range of beers, reasonably priced wines and a simple no fuzz menu. All of our dishes were well presented and tasty. The pub is a traditional eatery offering good value and worth a visit.

Lovely pub. Very welcoming. Could have sat all night no rush to leave. Ribs amazing home made pie to die for.lovely night.

An olde worlde Restaurant / Pub that hit the spot. We called for lunch without a reservation but found a table for four. We did expect someone to come to our table to take drinks order but finding this didn’t happen, we received friendly service at the bar. There was a very reasonable menu, complemented by a Specials Board. Service was prompt and friendly and the food was plentiful and well presented. A good dining experience - well worth a visit to this picturesque village.

My wife , well behaved dog and I visited this compact and friendly restaurant. The meals were excellent ,well prepared and presented. A good choice of ales on show. Well worth a visit.

We called in to this pub for lunch last week and the ham, eggs and "proper" chips hardly touched the side. Served hot by very friendly staff. I wasn't too keen on the pub cat lying on the seat next to me asleep, but I'm not a cat lover.

We stayed in Coxwold and walked to this lovely little gem of a pub.

Absolutely fantastic meal, great staff and service, set in a beautiful little village, while having our meal the heavens opened , we had no brolly and the landlady offered to give us a lift back to hotel, doesn't get better than that wonderful people.

First time I’ve been/ eaten here and it was all lovely, fantastic food, the king scallops black pudding and bacon was delicious , the smoked haddock rarebit was tasty but sadly didn’t have room to fit dessert in great atmosphere, the staff are all kind and helpful nothing was to much trouble for them, would recommend to anyone that asks me about it, great find

Lovely food, specials we’re to die for, the Camembert and mussels was absolutely delicious , then moved onto the burger and lamb pie all off the specials board because they stood out at us will definitely be passing the good feedback onto our friends . Good service and beer also

A lovely pub with great atmosphere, tasty food, reasonably priced, efficient and friendly service. I will certainly be visiting again.

Visited for the second time as I loved the pie the first time! Once again the meal was lovely and the staff are very friendly. The steak pie is really big and full of meat so great quality. Would recommend!

Our friends came for a visit and we took them to the Fauconberg, pleasant welcome, good food, good beer and good value. Dog friendly pub. Welcoming locals. Worth a visit.

A lovely pub with real fires and a pub cat. Friendly staff and locals. Great atmosphere. Delicious food and some meals offer half portions which was just the right size for us. the full portion looked massive. I had battered haddock and hand cut chips and the fish was tasty. the batter was crisp, light and not greasy. I would definitely eat here again, great value for money and a lovely atmospheric local pub.

Had an evening meal here recently. The food was good and reasonably priced. The service was excellent.

An old inn, with rooms, in a nice village. We only had a small lunch but everything was right - the food, friendly staff, relaxing surroundings, and the cat! We were only passing through the village so had no prior plans to visit but are pleased we stopped. Next time we visit the area we would like to stay at The Fauconberg.

Stopped here for drink after a tour of the area. Not able to comment on food but it was well patronised which is always a good sign. We were given a warm welcome and will go again if we are in the area. There are en-suite rooms as well.

I visited with my partner for a quick lunch stop and we weren’t disappointed. I had the steak pie and it was delicious and full of lots of meat. The staff were friendly too. The food was served fast and the prices were good. Will be back!

We popped in for a spot of lunch on our way to walk alpacas in Husthwaite.

We popped in the Fauconberg for sunday lunch and found it to be quite busy, there were plenty of staff on hand to serve and the food was nice without being exceptional and slightly on the dear side for what we had, on leaving all the staff we had seen earlier seemed to have disappeared and we had a delay settling the bill but overall a pleasant sunday lunch.

I don’t know if ownership has changed since the last time we ventured in here some 5 years ago; if it hasn’t they were certainly having a better day this time.

At first glance,, I went wow,, gorgeous looking place,, and so friendly,, set just down from a beautiful church you couldn't have such a lovely view, front and back of the falconberg,, will certainly be returning

Fantastic pub and open more hours than those around.Great pub atmosphere created by the owners and regulars.Food was really good as well no airs no graces good good well cooked well presented

We ate in this pub one evening last week whilst staying in the area at another hotel.

The food was excellent, the service friendly and unobtrusive, allied to a great pint of real ale! My partner raved out the sea bream, best she's EVER had apparently, my roast pork with crackling was melt in the mouth delicious.

Nice pub and good value meals - excellent daily specials. The hake was lovely. Friendly staff. The wine is fairly priced and a good selection of gins.

Warm welcome, good food and a well priced wine list. The Fauconberg is a traditional local pub with locals running it. I think it’s traditional but good value. The steak pie and ale is the best I’ve had for years. Enjoy!
