The Feather & Beak @ Brickfields in Ryedale

2 of us with 1 of us gluten free as a Coeliac. We look online for restaurants that actually take the time to show GF options and this was the case. It says it is small and intimate which it is but it is really a lovely space with outside tables should you wish and log ovens outside for certain days in the season. Good choice of food and we were there for Sunday lunch.A special on was half a lobster! I had that with chicken liver pate as a starter and lovely (unusually) GF bread. My wife had the roast beef dinner. The chef certainly knows how to cook and present, the staff know the dishes and the portions are, well, way above what you expect. All desserts are priced the same. I think that's the way forward. Nice choice of wines too.It's just a very relaxing place to sit and dine. Spotlessly clean too. We chatted with the owner and staff and they are clearly proud of what they have there, so they should be. we will be back!

The restaurant had a very relaxed feel. My husband and I had several meals during our stay. The meals we had were excellent especially the special flat iron steak which was cooked to perfection. The fish of seabass was also excellent. The chef was brilliant and very obliging. I would certainty recommend the restaurant.

Lovely intimate restaurant. The food was excellent with a really good choice. Nice snug bar for pre dinner drink. Service second to none.

Located on a farm, family run and providing a warm welcome. Excellent locally produced food well cooked and presented. Attentive service, good value, comfortable - excellent experience all round Recommended.

This was our first visit to the Feather and Beak, and we were not disappointed. The food was absolutely amazing, with a super luxurious and intimate atmosphere. The staff could not have done more to make us feel welcome and valued customers. We cannot wait to come here again.

We had a lovely meal last night. It was great from the start to finish. The goats tart was excellent. The prawn tagliatelle was amazing. My husband's main course special of guinea fowl will be remembered for a long time. I enjoyed the dick dish very much. Perfectly cooked. Sweets rounded off the meal perfectly. Brian the chef is very talented. Already booked our next stay and evening meal.

We live in Malton about 14 miles away and decided to check out this restaurant that we had heard was so good. We were certainly not disappointed. The ambiance they have created is perfect as was the food and the service. Very friendly owner and attentive staff, even the chief came out to greet everyone which was lovely. The food, excellent with a creative menu and the bar was able to provide a relatively unusual request. We loved it all and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing meal out, whatever the occasion. We look forward to our next visit.

Excellent food and very polite staff, clean and tidy and good value for money . Nice view if you're having a Day time meal. I will definitely visit again.

We live locally and have been here a few times, the food is always delicious every time and great service. Cannot recommend it enough for a meal in Kirkbymoorside.

We visited this little gem of a local restaurant for Sunday lunch today, having been recommended several times. The menu had a good selection for all three courses, but we gave the starters a miss in favour of desserts. Our main courses were delicious and beautifully presented……chicken supreme with Yorkshire Pudding, roasties and side dishes and my veggie pasta dish was so light and tasty. We were pleased we had left room for dessert…..sticky toffee pudding and gooseberry meringue, both really yummy!! Excellent and smiley, friendly service too from Karen the owner and her team of waitresses. We live locally and we are only sorry it’s taken us so long to visit…..we will certainly be back and soon.

Visiting the area, booked this for a birthday treat. It didn’t disappoint, on a horrible wet, windy evening, the Bar area and Restaurant were warm and welcoming. Staff very friendly and service excellent. The food was lovely, generous portions, beautifully presented. If you are in the area give it a try!

Another excellent meal. I am a pescatarian who cannot unfortunately eat onion but I am always catered for brilliantly here. They take great care to provide me with alternatives and give me clear guidance as to what does contain onion. We would have loved a pudding today but definitely did not have room! Thank you. I live locally so will be back.

It was an absolutely fantastic meal, cookedmostlyoutside! Booking advisable. We attended the Mediterranean Sunday Lunch, which was outstanding. Karen & Ian are great hosts. It was lovely to meet the chef, too.

Fantastic find in the Helmsley area. Excellent menu and the food was top notch :) would visit again :) thanks to all the team

First visit here and we will definitely be back! Lovely setting (not somewhere you’d realise was here in passing). We had the wood-oven cooked Mediterranean Sunday lunch and it was excellent. Sitting in the conservatory area gave the best of both worlds- a great view of the outdoor cooking, peahens and the owners’ beautiful cat, but a bit of shelter from the sun. Open doors and windows kept it from being too hot. Nice choice of drinks including our favourites Prince of Darkness gin and Fever Tree tonics. Bread and flavoured hummus was a nice surprise. I had the butternut squash with celeriac, aubergines, courgettes and more and it was delicious. The salmon was also particularly good. The dishes came with 5 different sides. Patatas bravas, special baked beans and lovely salads. The bulgur wheat, mint and pomegranate was my favourite. I hadn’t thought I’d like the beans, but they were very tasty. A great idea and way of trying new things. Puddings were homemade and both the cheesecake and meringue dish were very good. Toasted almonds elevated the raspberry and meringue and the cheesecake was silky and mousse-like. It does take a little longer having things cooked in this way, but they warned us about this and it was so relaxing (and the seats so comfortable) that we didn’t really notice. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly and we really enjoyed our meal. Branded mints were another nice touch. Looking forward to returning!

Superb. A real find - a small homely restaurant with seriously good food (they have plans to expand, good). Chef has excellent ideas, presentation is first class. I’d only ask that they offer small plates too as quantities can be huge. You want enough room left for pudding ..

My husband & I ate here in March 2024 whilst staying at the delightful Brickfields Farm. Such a peaceful, relaxing & charming setting tucked away down a country lane. The food & wine was amazing and of a very high standard. We received the most impeccable service from our warm & friendly host and cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Make sure you book though as it is a small restaurant and understandably very popular.

Four of us went for our first visit, and I hope it won't be the last. Everything was absolutely perfect. The food was delicious - well cooked, well presented and well served. My wife and i certainly, and I believe our friends, could not fault a single thing.

Fabulous food. In a quirky and intimate restaurant overlooking fields, countryside and Guinea fowl we found some of the most flavourful food we’ve ever had. Scallops follows by lightly pankoed chicken with a banana core (yes!) in a coconut curry sauce. Balance,harmony and depth of flavour outstanding throughout. Friendly efficient service too. Chapeau to chef Geoff Smith. We loved it

Visited here for Sunday lunch. Good choice of starters which we gave a miss in favour of dessert. Roast Beef and the Chicken dish were both excellent. The side vegetables were tasty too. Desserts as expected were definitely worth leaving room for! Excellent and friendly service. Will definitely return.

Small restaurant in kirbymoorside,Yorkshire. A tad apprehensive when we turned into the drive that soon evaporated.Greeted in the bar great comms about drinks taken into the restaurant over looking a small paddock with rabbits and guinea fowl to watch. Food was amazing.We cannot remember a better Sunday lunch food was amazing portions great service great l. Whatever you do don't miss this one just leave space for us .

Although we have stayed at Brickfields over many years we have not eaten Sunday lunch there.We now realise we have been missing a treat.We had a soufflé starter followed by roast pork and rack of lamb mains were beautifully presented and cooked to perfection.The side dishes of roast potatoes,dauphinoise potatoes, cauliflower cheese,huge dish of gravy,carrot and parsnip mash were delicious.The Yorkshire pudding was the best I have ever had.Unfortunately, we couldn't manage a dessert.We have eaten Sunday lunch in Michelin starred restaurants but this topped that easily.Service was excellent.Complements to the chef.

1st class food with brilliant service. Stayed at in the adjoining accommodation brickfields farm. Wonderful luxury accommodation. Will definitely return. Maria and Ian

This is a brilliant find - we live close by and have been meaning to try this place for ages. Fabulous food with some fresh ideas, couldn’t really fault it and we will definitely go back!

Having had a few meals here and nothing around the area matches to this great food and experience. We came again and will do many a time as the fabulous food and relaxed atmosphere is so what we like . Again top notch thank you

Visited for another amazing meal, this time Sunday lunch and what an amazing lunch it was. Variety of fresh vegetables and superb roast pork. Having tried the beef some weeks ago we were not disappointed. As always superb service, hard to choose between an evening meal or Sunday lunch as each visit has been faultless. Can’t wait for our next visit

We visited on a Saturday night. We were the first there as had table booked for 6pm. The food was excellent. Good choice and specials board also. I ordered the squid I wasn’t expecting a whole one but it was very tasty. The dressing of chilli & garlic had a nice kick. My steak was served rare as I asked, the mushroom sauce delicious. My husband enjoyed his terrine and steak suet pie. All the vegetables were nicely cooked and very tasty. My only slight grumble and which stops. Me rating this excellent is that everything was very quick. We heard the bell ring stating our starters were ready whilst we were still enjoying a drink in the bar. We asked for a break before the main course and they obliged. But we’d still had both courses served by 640. We maybe in the minority nowadays but we still like to take our time over a meal. This won’t stop us coming again the food is so good.

Everything was lovely. Came for the first time on Saturday evening. We had 3 courses and to food was so good. Service was amazing. Can’t wait to come again. Thank you

Delightful modern menu featuring fresh local ingredients. Rather than focussing on large portions, the chef produced carefully crafted dishes which were presented attractively and tasted delicious. The venue also has attractive overnight accommodation and is an excellent base for exploring the region

Absolutely brilliant meal. Three people had Three different options all terrific, this is a great restaurant with a very talented chef and well worth a visit. We live locally and we will return.

This was our second visit here and again, it did not disappoint. We both had the tempura prawns to start. The tempura was absolutely perfect and the prawns still wonderfully tender, served with a chilli dipping sauce. To follow I went for the sirloin cooked in wood-fired ovens. It arrived beautifully rare as I had ordered it with a peppercorn sauce and fries crispy on the outside but floury in the middle. My idea of the perfect meal. My partner chose filet of sea bass, again cooked in the wood-fired oven. The chef is certainly very accomplished. The surroundings were lovely, sheep grazing in the sunshine, an extra pleasure given all the recent rain. We will definitely be visiting again.

Delicious evening meal here whilst on holiday locally. Three courses of the finest dining, excellent service and pretty reasonably priced too. Everyone enjoyed everything - blue cheese soufflé and Whitby crab ravioli to start, pork fillet, roast halibut and pan fried duck served with dauphinoise potatoes and a pleasing selection of fresh vegetables and lemon possets and soft chocolate cakes to finish. Lovely low key atmosphere and great to watch the sheep in the field outside do their evening perambulations! Highly recommended and more than made up for a washout of a day weather wise!

Hidden away down a country lane. A wonderful menu, such variety, we couldn’t choose. Started with a drink in the bar. Finally chose squid cooked in chilli/ garlic, and Whitby crab ravioli for starters. Halibut wrapped in palma ham with samphire and duck in orange sauce. Followed by panna cota with blueberries and passion fruit crème brûlée. I was soo full but couldn’t leave any. Washed down with a fab bottle of fizz. The halibut and sapphire was soo tasty. The setting is so cute, watching the fat lambs in the field while eating. The owner served us, so friendly and chatty. We arrived at 7 and most tables were full already. We definitely be back.

Visited for my partners birthday and was impressed from when we arrived. Service was fab and food matched it! Would definately recommend and visit again x

Gorgeous little restaurant the food was faultless! We had crab ravioli and chicken which was amazing, dessert was so good. Really great chef and produce.

Superb - can't remember ever having a better meal out. The menu, food, service and ambiance was lovely. Would definitely recommend it very highly.

Small and cosy bar for pre-dinner drinks. Welcoming staff and an excellent choice of seasonal foods ,expertly prepared and presented. A good wine list to compliment the food. An altogether delightful dining experience.

Looking for Something different for Sunday lunch dining? - then go to the Feather & Beak and enjoy the great food cooked in wood fired outdoor ovens. Every aspect for us was just perfect.

We thoroughly enjoyed a delicious evening meal in the conservatory of this delightful establishment. It was the second time we’d visited and each time relished a pleasingly ‘different’ menu. The combinations of flavours were most pleasing. The reception we received was welcoming and the service...

TImes are not easy in the hospitality business at the moment so one visits new locations with some trepidation.Will the portion size be small will they have compromised on sourcing ? So it is an absolute delight to discover this small but perfectly formed eatery...

A hidden gem. Heard great things and after local advertising about the "Sunday Lunch With A Twist" we tried out their Woodburning oven cooking. Just amazing quality food, cooked to utter perfection. Great, friendly, efficient staff. A new favourite.

It's not cheap but you get what you pay for as the saying goes. We both had starters, mains and one dessert, plus drinks and our bill was about £90 so not unreasonable. Both starters were excellent, my main was the seafood pasta which was...

Stunning drive way up to a lovely farmhouse. Welcomed into the cozy bar that supplied a good choice of local drinks and felt automatically relaxed whist our table was being prepared. Dined in the restaurant that looks out onto green fields and it’s a great...
