The Gnu Inn Restaurant in East Riding of Yorkshire

Came here for lunch with friends. We chose the burger, sausage and mash and the steak pie - all were extremely good. Even though we were all full, greed got the better of us and we finished with the apple and cherry crumble and the sticky toffee pudding. This was our first visit and certainly won't be our last - great food, very friendly staff. Just one tip though - go with an empty stomach as the portions are generous!

Staying at GNU, had lunch there. Lovely pizza, too much for 1 person. Husband had. Steak pie chips and peas, that was also lovely. Land Lord & Land Lady very hospitable. Stayed night, which was very comfortable, and had all the amenities you needed. Also quiet. Had breakfast following morning, which was also delicious, hot and quality meats.

This is an old style country pub that serves good quality food with efficient and friendly service. Sunday lunch was really nice, good portions and accompanied by a selection of vegetables including cauliflower cheese. Desserts, especially the brownie, are superb and clearly homemade with love and experience. Coming back soon.

We often eat here as it is one of our local pubs. Prices are reasonable, portion sizes are generous and the menu offers a good choice of dishes which are always well presented.

This is a super, no-nonsense village pub with great food, beer and atmosphere. we have eaten here three times and the food, service and value have all been outstanding. Situated in North Newbald, its the perfect place to come and have a cosy lunch or dinner with great hosts.

Met some friends here for a catch up and had the festive menu. It was delicious and highly recommend it The pub is cosy and welcoming and the staff very friendly We’ve been before and will certainly be going again!

A hidden Yorkshire gem! Great pub grub, great service and fair prices. We had Sunday lunch which for two courses was £18. My wife had prawn cocktail and I had the black pudding stack - two pieces of black pudding sandwiching a bacon slice in a mustard sauce. The roasts come with interesting veg for a change - cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, carrot and swede mash and green beans. Highly recommended!

I was visiting a friend in North Newbald and needed two nights accommodation. He arranged a room at the Gnu for me and it was just perfect. First of all they took the trouble to get a key to me and turn the heating on even though they are closed on Mondays. Second the bed was so comfortable (I stayed in Room 3) I upset my wife by telling her that it was better than home. And finally they did an early full English breakfast for my friend and I because we had an early golf tee time in Beverley and it was just the best. I love visiting Yorkshire and it’s actually probably because you get a level of hospitality that is just so so nice. The Gnu is not the Ritz but I bet the welcome is better, the hospitality is greater and you cannot get a pint of Black Sheep at the Ritz.

Visited the GNU yesterday for lunch yesterday and was very impressed the landlord and landlady we’re very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble and as for the food 2 words WORLD CLASS already looking forward to going back it was our first visit but 100% it won’t be our last Many thanks

Spent a night while doing Yorkshire Wolds Way with a couple of friends Cracking village pub with very friendly host. Accommodation was clean and comfortable. Dinner was home cooked and great, can recommend the pizzas

We decided to try the GNU Inn having never visited previously. Lovely village pub and a great choice for Sunday dinner. Both me and my husband had the pate starter which was lovely. We asked for more bread and was given it at no extra charge. For main course my husband had roast beef and I had roast pork. Both enjoyed our meals and had plenty of veg, we couldn’t manage dessert. I think the price reflects the quality and quantity of food. Looking forward to visiting again during the week!

We booked a table for two Friday 3 March (2 people) 6.45pm. The table had a reserved sign, with our name & time on. Always a lovely warm welcome, landlord and landlady so friendly and pleasant, along with all the staff. The food is home made, such good quality ingredients, cooked perfectly, and all served with a smile and a friendly chat. Thankyou to "Team Gnu" keep up this very high standard. We recommend a visit if your in the area, try to book if possible, it is a popular place.

We had a selection of the sharing platters, as didn’t want large portions of a meal that may be wasted. Just the right size for those without a great appetite.

Meal out with friends a friend of ours lives in North newbold and said it was a nice place to go for a meal the landlord and landlady were lovely people our friend asked if we would like to go for a meal there we said yes our friend knows them both we were greeted with a warm welcome by the landlord and he said Its nice to see you haven't seen you for a while he introduced us to him and he asked us what would you like to drink by this time the landlady came out from the kitchen so we chatted to her for a while and asked her for some menus and I asked her if there was anything on the menu for gluten free she said we can do a plain piece of chicken with either chips or potatoes and some vegetables and some gravy I said please can I have it with some chips and peas please she said yes of course my mum had the steak and ale pie which was recommended by one of the regular customers my friend had the small scampi chips and peas when it are it was nice presented the chicken was nice and moist which sometimes when you get chicken it can be very dry and rough this was lovely mum said her pie was delicious nice tender meat and lovely gravy mums friend said his scampi was nice too just enough. We will definitely be visiting again great friendly service

This little gem of a pub they were very welcoming the staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered our meal and it arrived very quickly and it was delicious home cooked food we will be going again and taking our friends

Nous étions que deux dans la grande salle où nous avons déjeuné le 19 septembre dernier.Nous avons été, de ce fait, très rapidement - et fort aimablement - servis.Notre choix s'est porté sur l'assiette de scampis, avec garniture de frites et de pois cassés.Prix acquitté : - plat principal ... £ 18.90 - 2 small Stella ... £ 4.00

We had Sunday lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The licensee and his wife are always very friendly and welcoming here and there is a good choice of fare on the menu. There was a choice of 4 different roasts on offer including a quorn option. The wait for our food was not long and large portions of piping hot food arrived at the table including a great selection of tasty vegetables. Lashings of gravy and a big Yorkshire pudding made a hearty Sunday lunch. We were so full we couldn’t manage a pudding. I would recommend giving this pub a try if you are in the area.

We had a big choice of lots of good food, went back to accommodation well full. Good selection of local and national beers.

Three of us visited this restaurant for a meal on a Friday evening. Two of us decided on pork medallions from the specials menu and the other choice was beef lasagne. .We cannot fault the service or the quality of the food. The dishes were freshly cooked, hot and delicious. One of our party managed a pudding which also got a thumbs up! We intend to re-visit soon and would recommend highly.

My partner and I stopped off at the Gnu Inn with our two dogs for a bite to eat after a walk.We were met with a warm welcome. We did not fancy Sunday lunch with a long walk ahead of us so asked if soup and sandwiches were available. We were told this was not a problem at all. The colliflower and cheddar soup was yummy.I had a prawn baguette served really nice with lovely chips and salad and my partner had a lamb and gravy baguette and said the lamb was good. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be back

We turned up at this inn after a long and weary 7 mile trek. Great welcome from Lee and fantastic fayre from Jodie who does a mean Burger with all the trimming. My wife had the lasagne which was really tasty. And our sincere thanks to Carol for her assistance post lunch which was truly appreciated and showed great Spirit of Generosity-Thank you Carol. Now we have found you, we will definitely be popping in again.See you all soon Robert & Miranda

Excellent food and service again. My friends and I were shown to a table next to the cost fire. Although the menu isn’t extensive, there is plenty of choice. My two friends both ordered the suet crust pie with chips and veg, which on request came with extra gravy. Both said it was delicious and they both enjoyed the wonderful food. I chose the gammon steak and being on a health kick asked for salad instead of chips. They were happy to oblige and it duly arrived, complete with two eggs (pineapple available) and peas. It was cooked to perfection and very tasty. My companions ordered desserts (sticky toffee pudding and custard) which arrived a little sooner than expected but I’m told it was excellent. It was a large portion so good value. I ordered coffee which complement the meal. The pub started to fill up and we felt a little rushed to leave our seats for locals to sit down - it was quiz night (Wednesday), but otherwise the meal, service, and ambience were great. At a cost of under £20 per head, including drinks, The GNU is worth returning to. Would appreciate some healthy options on the menu

Been in the Gnu loads for drinks with friends but never actually ate there, been trying to find a fairly local village pub that does good Sunday lunches as we’re fed up with some of the ‘chain’ pubs and their microwaved food so decided to try the Gnu for food as we’ve heard good things about it. Wish we’d done it sooner!! The pubs located in a really nice area which is fairly easy to get to and has ample parking at the rear, it’s pretty traditional inside and well looked after - the staff and owners are great, super friendly and can’t do enough for you. The food is absolutely spot on, freshly cooked homemade traditional pub grub at very reasonable prices - the Sunday lunch was superb, good size portions, tasty and great value. Safe to say we’ll be returning for Sunday lunch more often.

Went last night for a Valentines day treat and the food was excellent. I went for the gammon and my wife chose lasange, both served red hot and a decent size. Lee and Carol, the owners, are a really nice pleasant couple and made us feel really welcome. Excellent food, excellent service and a pleasure to eat here, thank you.

We had travelled up for the Xmas period and we came to meet friends in this pub. It was lovely Tasty and simple pub grub. Just perfect for the village. Fish and chips amazing and the chile. Good choices and decent portions. Thanks.

We went to eat at the Gnu Inn for our 26th wedding anniversary last night (9th Jan 2019) we both ordered a 10oz sirloin with all the trimmings for our main meal and decided to indulge in cheesey nachos for two as a starter. They were very tasty and it was a good portion for two. The main meal was out of this world, the steak was so tender it cut easily, the onion rings were the largest I have ever seen, and the steak Diane sauce was delicious. We will be eating there again quite soon, a real must for people who enjoy visiting village pubs and sampling their food

We went with some friends on a Saturday night and were pleasantly surprized. I didn't even know this pub was there but I'm glad our friends did. Lovely pub food, friendly hosts and a cosy atmosphere.

I have just had the best home cooked fish and chips with mushy peas! Absolutely divine!!! The homemade curry that my husband had was with a lovely kick and the meal of burger and chips was great!! Certainly will be back for more. Great atmosphere too filled with locals.

Ate here at lunchtime and chose from the light bites menu although there was also the main menu available. Had the ham, chips and egg. The chips were delicious as was the cold ham and it came with 2 fried eggs very good value at £6.45. The table next to us were having sandwiches with chips they looked delicious. Very friendly staff. Will be back to sample Sunday lunch.

The food was amazing. Me and my parents all loved it. The drink selection was good. The portions were good, not too big and not to small. In the beer garden there is a pen of different birds and a separate pen for some chickens.

We have known if the gnu for a while , but haven’t been until now! I’m sorry we haven’t been sooner! The decor was on the whole clean and tidy. Staff were friendly and attentive. Sunday lunch menu was basic but traditional so can’t really go wrong. The roast beef and pork was a good portion and tender without being “shredded” with fresh seasonal veg. The Yorkshire puddings we’re home-made although on this occasion a little over done!

Met up with some old friends. We were met in the car park by the landlord Lee who was a lovely friendly guy. Had reserved a table. The atmosphere , food, service and value were spot on. Loved it. Thanks Lee. Steve Robinson

My husband and I popped in for a meal early evening on Friday. We used to go to The Gnu quite a lot a few years back but then had a bad experience under previous management so that put us off. We decided to give it a try (since that was at least 8 years ago) & we were so glad we did. The pub is small & cosy and the current owners & staff were so welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious- it's simple pub grub and that's just what we wanted. We had the steak & ale pie which came with homemade chunky chips & peas and the lasagne with salad & garlic bread. Both were faultless. Really tasty & great big portions which completely satisfied us- so much so we were unable to get a dessert! Maybe next time.

My husband and I called in for tea on the way home. We haven't been to this pub for years and we were very pleased. The food was excellent. Hubby had the gammon which was thick,juicy and succulent. I had chicken breast stuffed with spinach served on mushroom carbonara off the specials board. The staff were friendly and attentive. It was a lovely experience and we will be back!

Great evening out at the Gnu last minute decision and they had a table available! Lovely local pub with delicious food. Unexpected bonus was the entertainment, soloist with his guitar ! What more do you need...

Although a bit late for lunch the staff agreed to cook for us and we all enjoyed a tasty lunch. This pub is in a pretty village handy fir visitors to William's Den

Called in for lunch, place wasn't busy but that didnt effect the standard of the food or the welcome from the staff. 3 of us had Steak sandwich which was absolutely delicious, the other had brie and and bacon bagette, again beautiful. Also well presented and the chef a jolly person came through personally to check if everything was okay. A lovely In with great food and lovely welcoming staff. We will most definetely call in again.

We went to the Gnu to see what sort of food they served up and what variety ..... We had the Best Ribeye ever and best Mousaka ever

Reservamos este hotel porque estábamos de caza en Beverley. Llegamos temprano, así que nos tomamos un par de copas, pero la habitación estaba preparada para nosotros y nos hizo sentir muy bienvenidos y su socio Lee. La habitación era increíble, limpio, cómodo y qué encantadora pequeña aldea. Nada era demasiado problema y realmente nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos. Por la mañana, el desayuno era delicioso y mi esposa preguntó una tortilla más que el inglés que tenía y estaba increíble, y ella se hizo una tortilla encantador de hongos. Té por el segmento completo estaba disponible y es probablemente la mejor noche que he tenido. Muchos establecimientos podrían aprender mucho de esta joya escondida y los anfitriones son muy acogedores y serviciales. No me canso de recomendarlo. Muchas gracias a todo el personal del Gnu.

We stopped for a quick evening meal but were enchanted by the staff and the atmosphere. We were made very welcome, our dinner, drinks and coffee were quickly produced and were of excellent quality. The staff were brilliant. Highly recommended

29 de junio de llamado almuerzo. Nunca habíamos estado antes, cálida bienvenida, el propietario amable que nos hizo sentir como visitantes regulares.

Reservamos una habitación para la noche tranquila lejos con una comida decente.

Great food especially the rib eye steaks. Excellent value for money.. Friendly efficient service. My friends and I had a very enjoyable meal and evening out. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

Booked here as going for a meal with family close by. Actually I had inadvertently booked for the following night in error! Lee & Carol swiftly sorted out our mistake & sorted us out an available room. We found the welcome very warm. The cask ales were excellent with beers from Theakstons & York Brewery, my preference was the Guzzler from York Brewery which was in superb condition. The following morning we enjoyed a hearty breakfast & found the rooms excellent value for money. Highly recommend, we will be back.

Great food, homemade and tasty. Had steak pie husband had gammon which was superb. Downside is seating not very comfortable and not a lot of it. Could to with upgrade.

We dined at the Gnu on our second day of a short break in east yorkshire. We found the pub by chance so decided to try it out for dinner and we were glad we did. We were met with a very friendly welcome on our arrival in a nicely refurbished country pub with a good atmosphere. I chose the fish pie from the specials board which contained smoked salmon, prawns, mussels and squid all done in a white wine sauce covered in mashed potatoe and cheese with a sprig of parsley on top, My fiancee had cottage pie. Both came in large oval dishes on plates with vegetables and mine had salad as well. If we are ever in the area again it will be on our list of places to eat and is worth trying out if you are in the area too.

Meeting up with friends, we chose this pub as a new venue. Situated in a quiet village to the West of Hull, a very picturesque location with a good sized car park and beer garden. On arrival, we were greeted by the friendly staff and show our table and given menus. the pub is very cosy, with good seating areas, a separate bar and a lounge with a log burner (which was regularly fed during the evening). After ordering drinks we browsed the menu and chose our meals. The menu was typical pub grub which something for everyone. I chose Fish and Chips and was given the choice to have my fish skinned, My friends chose lasagne with salad and garlic bread, and steak and ale pie with chips and peas. The landlord who took our order was very knowledgeable about the dishes on offer and very helpful in us making our choices. At around £10 per main course, the prices were very reasonable. Once the food arrived, we tucked in - the portion sizes were very substantial and beautifully cooked. The pie had a suet crust and plenty of gravy, and the fish had very golden crisp batter. Thumbs up all round. After a brief break we ordered 'pudding'. A good choice from crumbles, sponges and suet pudding, all available with custard, cream or ice cream. Despite our first choice not being available, we settled on hot chocolate fudge cake, ginger sponge and treacle sponge. The sponge puddings served with plenty of custard and again the portions were huge but tasted fantastic and were soon demolished. At £3.25 they didn't break the bank either like some other establishments. All in all it was a very pleasant visit, made all the better by lovely home cooked food and a welcoming atmosphere both from the staff and the local clientele. A bonus of the evening was the lovely background music which was appreciated by all of us

We were heading home very tired from a hectic weekend in Nottingham and decided to stop off for some Sunday lunch. We weren't sure if they were still serving food at that time, so rang ahead to confirm.We arrived and they were expecting us, had set us a table next to the fire and made us feel very welcome. The Sunday Dinner was excellent with plenty of meat and home-cooked fresh veg and Yorkshires. Home-made apple crumble completed a very nice dinner.This is a lovely traditional pub, nice and cosy with very friendly people. We will definitely be going back!

Popped for tea last minute decision and was blooming lovely. Friendly staff. Proper home cooked pub grub. Big portion size. Good value for money. Kids meal came with some icecream for pudding which my little boy obviously thought was great! Couldnt fault it at all. Looking forward to an excuse to go back!

We met up with our daughter in law for tea. It was Monday, so it was very quiet. However, the staff and 'locals' were very friendly. The food was of an excellent quality and we are planning to go again very soon.

We popped in the Gnu Inn for lunch here today and very glad we did!Food was lovely and we received a very warm welcome.It's a beautiful area for walking and we look forward to coming back again for lunch or dinner, especially after we've completed 'dry September' so that we can also enjoy an ale or three!Cheers!

Absolutely fantastic!Popped in had a meal and a couple of drinks well worth it! Definitely be returning!

Called in for a drink and the staff couldn't have been more friendly...........thank you.The beer was nice and on an evening when it's sunny the seats outside at the front are lovely.

We stayed for two nights b and b in the family room, which was spotlessly clean,and extremely comfortable, with more than enough tea, coffee, etc..We had a very warm welcome. Nothing was too much trouble and breakfast times very flexible. As for the breakfast's - Wow!!!! You don't need any lunch!!!If you have room you must try a " Gnu burger " one evening, and a home cooked dessert.We will certainly be returning here again

After booking a weekend away in the village we wanted somewhere we could walk to so we could both have a drink and we found this place! First of all the staff and locals are all amazing & so friendly! We had a pub dinner which was lovely but absolutely massive portions!!!! They had a live singer (can't remember her name, but she sung with her husband) and they was great & hilarious! Best random night out we've had for a while...... Apart from waking up with a VERY sore head the next day! Keep up the good work team!!

Travelling home from a weekend away we lost our way & found ourselves at the Gnu Inn, in North Newbald. What a wonderful place to get lost. The staff are really friendly & the food was fantastic. I asked for chillie & got curry, my thick Yorkshire accent at fault there. Another great mistake that was meant to be. It was the best curry I have had outside of Bradford. Very well presented & beautifully made. My partner had the lasagna & again this was full of flavor, proper Yorkshire portion too!.We were so glad to get lost that we shall be back again. Our only disappointment is that we live 2 hours away for it to be made a local eatery.

We visited The Gnu recently with my mother in law. We wanted somewhere nice with good pub grub as my Mum in law doesn't like what she calls 'fussy food'.So my husband found the website for The Gnu, it looked a really professional website, well designed, informative etc. When we arrived the outside of the pub matched the website in terms of design and we were thinking 'this looks really nice'.Then we stepped inside, and seemed to be transported back to just an ordinary pub that was very traditional - there just seemed to be a total mis-match between the external image and the internal one.Staff were all dressed in black and it has to be said they did all look like security guards...HOWEVER, they were all incredibly friendly and the food was really good. Good honest pub grub, good prices and friendly staff. So I can see why it gets good reviews.We did come out though thinking that it was almost a surreal experience!

Went for tea tonight, my husband had the big burger which he certainly enjoyed, whilst they catered for my Weight Watchers diet without any problem. Oh and the new coffee machine gives out a fantastic coffee! Thank you.

7 of us went for a meal 2nd June all of us thought that the food was outstanding all home cooked and plenty of it,the service was very good and there is a room where you can take dogs all in a very good place to eat.

Friendly atmosphere and great food. The prices are reasonable and the portion sizes are something your grandma would serve! Awesome!

Visited on a Wednesday night and found the pub to have a lovely atmosphere of a traditional country pub. There was quite a good selection of meals on the menu and a specials board. I had a mushroom stroganoff and partner had a homemade chicken curry. We both thoroughly enjoyed the meals and the staff were very helpful and polite. We will definately return.

Called in this lovely village pub at lunchtime. The landlord/lady were very friendly and welcoming. We ordered a lite bite! The portions were big! Very good value and delicious, steak and ham baguettes with salad and homemade chips. We will definitely return to sample the evening meals and Sunday lunch.

We only called in for a quick pint to kill an hour or so, but the food looked so nice we ended up getting the rest of the family and eating here. We weren't disappointed, the food was lovely, really good value and so much of it!!!!! The new owners have kept all t good bits of this traditional pub and added their own touches to make it a little better. We will be back.

Went for Sunday lunch and was amazed it was not full , my wife has special dietary needs and the chef came out to discuss and created a perfect meal the rest of us had Sunday roast with loads of vegitables and we started with the garlic mushrooms which had the most garlic I have ever had delicious , we will go again soon.

After several visits to the GNU we can honestly say that the food is fantastic. We have tried a variety from the menu, last week having Mushroom Stroganoff, which was very tasty to my husband having a gammon which was quite a plateful. This is a village pub run by a family who are trying and succeeding in these hard times. The hand pull beer was good too.

Visited today for a quick drink and ended up having Sunday lunch which arrived quickly and was lovely. A good selection of veg and a HUGE Yorkshire pudding each. A little bit on the pricey side for Sunday lunch at £7.95 a head, but well worth it. As always, the beer was lovely. Will visit again.

Met up with friends for a meal, drink and chat. First time for 2 of us since new owners took over and wished we had tried before. We had gammon, lasagne and mushroom stroganoff all of which were very hearty and tasteful. The service was attentive and Tracey needs a mention here. Will definitely be going back and trying to plough our way through the menu!

We had eaten here 5 years ago and having heard that there was a change of management we thought we would give it another try.The lounge area is not particularly inspiring as you walk in - quite old fashioned with a few tables round the outside. We picked up a couple of menus from the bar - a typical bar menu with steaks, curry, lasagne, burgers, etc. We made our order at the bar, picked up a couple of drinks and sat at the table near the front of the lounge. The staff were all very friendly and soon place settings and sauces were being delivered.Unfortunately I have to say that the food was pretty average. We had 2 different versions of mushrooms to start with - garlic and with Stilton. Both had a thick batter round them and a small side salad - tasted OK but there was more batter than mushroom. For mains my wife had the gammon and chips with a side salad. The gammon was small I would have said, though cooked well, and the chips tasted like cheap frozen ones. My steak and ale pie was hot and tasty.So overall the food was fine but nothing special and as such won't entice us back again with so many other good choices of pub food in the area.

I visited the Gnu last month and loved the food although the restaurant was cold, when we returned last Sunday the food was still excellent the fire was on creating a nice warm environment. It was nice to see lots of people seeming to enjoy their food too.

We had Sunday Lunch at the GNU on my friends birthday. The service was friendly and efficient, the food was excellent, very tasty tender lamb, good vegetable selection and Yorkshire puddings to cross the North Sea on! The beer was Black Sheep.

We had read the reviews about the Gnu so thought we would try it and very nice it is with lovely people working here! The food is cooked to order so it takes a little longer but is well worth the wait. I had fish pie and my wife had salmon with veg both dishes perfect we can recommend this pub to anyone!!!

We visited the Gnu for Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. It's back to being a friendly pub, with a good atmosphere. The lunch was lovely and great value for money, served quickly.

Myself and friends visit East Yorkshire for five days, on an annual basis, about the same time each year to compete in a competition. We have previously visited the Gnu Inn and found it perfectly acceptable but unremarkable. Last Thursday two of us paid a visit as we always scout about the area looking for somewhere decent to eat. We were very pleasantly surprised to find the Gnu under the new management of a charming couple who made us feel at home. The pub still carried on the business of a traditional village hostelry and is all the better for that. A good selection a beers and local ales was to be had along with a beautifully cooled Guinness. I ordered the mixed grill at £17.95 and my mate the haddock and Chips at £8.99. Food arrived a reassuring 20 minutes later at it was immediately obvious that everything had been freshly cooked to order. The mixed grill was unbelievable and should only be attempted by those with a serious appetite and a love of good meat. Steak, lamb, pork chop, some other cut of pork, black pudding, onion rings, pineapple, mushroom, chunky chips and peas, all beautifully cooked. (I couldn't finish all the peas !) My mate loved his haddock and chips with mushy peas and salad. Such was the standard of the food and the pleasant ambiance of the pub that we forewent looking for an eating establishment the following evening and returned to the Gnu where I confirmed that the haddock and chips were excellent and my mate extolled the virtues of the homemade steak pie and accompaniments. The Eton Mess deserts were similarly delightful. If you want overpriced flummery, colourful swirls and other pretentious food this is not the place for you. If you appreciate the best of ingredients, cooked in a traditional, heartwarming manner and served in man sized portions you will not be disappointed. See you next year.

A lovely meal was had by four of us. It is so nice to see this village pub being put back on the map. The food was fresh and tasted fantastic. We were made very welcome.

Lovely place,Fantastic friendly staff lovely food, great Friday nights entertainment. Well worth a visit Get ya self there

Under new management, there great hosts. the food started today at the Gnu inn. All we can say as a family is that you must go and try. It's wonderful, keep up the good work guys.

We had lunch ere on a Sunday following a few recommendations from friends. The food was good pub grub with a selection of roast dinners available. The portions were HUGE!!. Popular with ramblers and families alike. Prices were average and décor a little shabby but old world as well. We would definitely go again.

Having had a very bad experience in the pub across the road (Tiger Inn) we decided to go to the Gnu Inn. We had a lovely warm welcome from the landlady who was happy to serve us despite us being a little muddy from our hiking. She was pleasant, chatty and we are looking forward to returning there to sample their menu. I would recommend this pub to everyone, best in the village of North Newbald by far. Thank you

We spent a night at the Gnu & booked an evening meal. The food was excellent well cooked & presentation was on a par with any high class restaurant. We would like to congratulate the chef on a job well done & wish him success in the future.Our breakfast was equally as good, cooked exactly how we like it.

Recently had the pleasure of dining in the gnu inn restaurant and would have no hesitation of recommending it, in fact I already have to my relatives who live in Beverley. It is very rare I sit down and enjoy a meal without thinking something could be improved but the gnu is absolutely the best place I have eaten in a long time. It's so nice to see such a conscientious chef put so many smiles on his customers faces. "Very very well done". If I am ever in that area again I will be sure to make a detour for dinner. Good luckPs, really don't think it would matter what you ordered here as all the plates of food leaving the kitchen looked fabulous.

Walking a section of the Wolds Way with my brother, we planned to break our journey and satisfy our hunger / slake our thirst at the Gnu Inn. It was a beautiful blue-sky Saturday late lunchtime and we were not disappointed in our choice of stop.We both had the fish and chips (or "line snapper" haddock with rough-cut chips). I've eaten a lot of fish and chips in my time, both out of a newspaper and in restaurants / pubs. The Gnu's was up there in my top 3 of all time. In a nutshell:- A very generous portion of succulent, firm, fresh haddock;- Well-flavoured, light and crispy batter, not greasy nor soggy;- Tremendous minted mushy garden peas: not the usual fish'n'chip shop indeterminate globs, but a beautiful and tasty side;- ...and a fantastic tarragon-infused home-made tartare sauce, with red onion and capers.All washed down with a couple of pints of 3.4% light session ale - lovely!At a little under £11, I think this was excellent value - and substantial enough to keep hungry walkers full without any starter or pudding. Though I would have tried if I could have fitted any more in.The service was extremely friendly, there's a dog bowl for the faithful hound and it's clear they mean business with such a high standard. I wish them well - and hope it gets busier for them, as when we went it was pretty quiet!Top notch nosh - thanks.

We stayed here sat week whilst walking the Wolds Way. We expected the usual average pub food, not a bit of it. The chef is new and ex Jamie's in Manchester, the menu is extensive but manageable and the food is just amazing..ranging from the olives to start, through to the Mushroom fricassee to the Chicken and Leek Pie. Im picky and this was very good indeed, just what a walker needs after a day outside. The landlady and bar staff too were extremely pleasant and couldn't have been more helpful. The outside of the pub and to a certain extent the interior may not look fabulous but the food and staff most certainly are.

what a fantastic pub this is,the warmth,the service,the food,the food is beautiful,nothing is any trouble at all here at all,we meet the chef whom is doing a great job,the landlady was very chatty,kind,really deserves alot of credit,next time may have to stay over and arrive early to take full advantagekeep up the great work

We went on a Saturday evening and it was fairly quiet. A few locals at the bar, large table outside drinking and three other tables of diners.Bar staff friendly and welcoming and a good choice on the menu. Food was quick to arrive and was very good. Only negative was the lack of atmosphere, but would def go back.

Went for a Sunday lunch did wonder why at 1-30 place was empty, now know why. We ordered steak pie which came fairly quickly however it had certainly just come out of microwave, the gravy was jelly like as not warmed through properly. Overall the pie lacked any taste. I had the carvery which was a choice of meats with few vegetables which had obviously been sat for a long time and not very appetizing. The gravy was fine once the skin had been lifted off, again not very appealing. Thiss was very disappointing as we had been before and had a good bar meal. Certainly won't be returning.
